Top 100 Origin players' favourite moments (Nos 76 to 100)Show thumbnails
Johnathan Thurston (QLD)
Best Moment:It?s hard to pin-point one moment.. Game three of 2006, when we started this run. Locky scooting up that loose ball and scoring a try to put us in front and getting smashed by Tonie Carroll after he scored.
Favourite Memory: I?ve seen the Miracle Try in 1994 but the memory that sticks out is Wally Lewis? try at the Sydney Football Stadium in the late 80?s where he has dummied inside to no one and beat three players. That?s the one that sticks out for me. Photo: Jonathan CarrollSkip to more gallery info and related links

It is with great regret that I announce that I will not be able to join the amazing house band at this year's AMA Award Show. I was honored to be asked by Buddy Miller to be part of this stellar band and I am also very honored to be nominated in the Instrumentalist of the Year category. As many of you know, I am spending much of 2014 out on tour with Jack White. I'm very happy to be a part of the Jack White Team.....and the team is playing Fenway Park on the same night as the AMA Award Show. Wouldn't be right to let the team down. Fenway Park---pretty cool.
My thanks to Buddy, Jed and EVERYONE at The Americana Music Association I hope to continue to be involved with this vital, musical community for years to come. I wish everyone a great night AND Conference. ---All The Best, Fats

The leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) today ended their 22nd summit. In addition to Deputy Prime Minister and Commander of the National Guard Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, the two-day Summit, hosted by Sultan Qaboos in Muscat, Oman, was attended by Vice President of the United Arab Emirates Shaikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al-Maktoum; Emir of Bahrain Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa; Emir of Qatar Shaikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani; and Acting Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Kuwait Shaikh Sabah Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah, representing Kuwaiti Emir Shaikh Jaber Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah.
At the concluding session today the GCC leaders signed a unified economic agreement. Secretary-General Shaikh Jameel Al-Hujeilan then read the final communiqué, which began by congratulating Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd bin Abdulaziz on the twentieth anniversary of his accession to the throne of Saudi Arabia, and praising the great achievements of his reign.
The communiqué reported that economic cooperation within the GCC was reviewed, and, with the aim of achieving a common market and monetary union, a new economic agreement was ratified, replacing that of November 1981. The new agreement is in line with economic developments and takes into consideration international variables. Addressing the procedural steps for the establishment of the GCC customs union, it was decided to bring its enforcement forward to January 1, 2003, and to lower the customs tariffs to 5 percent on all imported foreign commodities, unless exempted in accordance with the decision taken at the 20th GCC Summit of November 1999. In accordance with regulations, the Supreme Council resolved to waive all fees enforced on machinery and raw materials imported into the GCC for industrial purposes, and directed the monetary and economic committee to follow up on this.
The Council also ratified the new system of unified customs regulations in its amended form, adopted its executive charter and explanatory appendix, and resolved that its enforcement be effective January 1, 2002. In anticipation of the establishment of the GCC monetary union and the initiation of a unified currency, the Council determined a timetable and directed the committee of governors and central banks to apply, within a period not to exceed the end of 2002, the Council's resolution pertaining to the adoption of the U.S. dollar as a common denominator for GCC currencies. In order to launch the unified currency within a period not to exceed January 1, 2010, the Council also directed the committee of monetary and economic cooperation and the committee of governors to coordinate, within a period not to exceed 2005, the necessary economic performance standards essential to the success of the monetary union. To achieve statistical integration among GCC member states, to formalize procedures, and to save expense, the Council resolved to unify the timing of general censuses, starting 2010.
The Council approved regulations for agricultural extension after amendment following recommendations from certain member states and in conformity with relevant international organizations; and reviewed the progress of the specifications and measurements authorities in line with the upcoming establishment of the customs union. To enhance economic development, member states are asked to continue facilitating loans for development projects, notably in Bahrain and Oman.
The Council reviewed the status of previous resolutions regarding job opportunities for GCC citizens within the member states; urged education ministers to implement the joint plan aimed at the development of school curricula; and called on member states to take action against environmental hazards, for example establishing facilities for shipping wastes, managing dangerous chemicals, and conserving wildlife.
The Council adopted the following as consultative regulations: the Abu Dhabi document on delinquency; the Manama legislature on legal representation and on civic proceedings; and the Muscat regulations on evidence. It also resolved to maintain for four more years the validity of the Kuwait document on unified civic law, and the Doha document on unified penal law.
Turning to the issue of Iraq, the Council urged the Iraqi government to fulfill its commitments to the United Nations Security Council Resolutions, including respecting the security and sovereignty of the State of Kuwait, resuming cooperation with the UN, taking all necessary measures to show its peaceful intentions, and putting a stop to all provocative and hostile actions against Kuwait. The Council urged Iraq and the UN Secretary-General to resume cooperation in a way that allows the Security Council to lift the economic sanctions imposed on Iraq in order to end the suffering of the Iraqi people, and reiterated its firm stance of respect for Iraq's independence and non-interference in its internal affairs.
The Council then addressed the issue of Iran's occupation of the three islands, Lesser and Greater Tunbs and Abu Mousa, that belong to the United Arab Emirates, recalling the resolutions adopted at the 21st GCC Summit. The Council stressed UAE's total sovereignty over the three islands, their territorial waters, air space, continental shelf and economic zoning; expressed its full support for all measures taken by the UAE to regain this sovereignty through peaceful means; and absolutely rejected all Iranian claims to the islands as illegal. It renewed its call on Iran to refer the dispute to the international court of justice.
The Council reviewed with alarm and concern the dangerous deteriorating situation in the West Bank and Gaza as a result of the Israeli government's use of brutal means of oppression against the Palestinian people, with its continuing policy of blockade and siege, attacks on Palestinian territory and reoccupation of Palestinian towns. The Council expressed particular concern over the grave consequences for the whole region if this situation is not properly addressed, affirming that Israel alone is responsible for the failure of the peace process. The Council asserted that the current wave of violence is the direct result of Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands and its failure to heed the agreements reached by the two parties, and the fundamentals of the peace process as laid down in Madrid. Israel's irresponsible decision to sever all contacts with the Palestinian Authority indicates a lack of seriousness in pursuing a just, well-balanced peace, and shows no desire to participate in the peace process.
The Council reiterated its full support to the Palestinian Authority and President Yasser Arafat, calling on the Palestinian people to stand behind their leadership and work to regain all their legitimate rights including that of self determination and an independent state with Al-Quds [Jerusalem] as its capital; and affirmed that it will take on a major role in building up the Palestinian infrastructure. It also called on the international community to work for peace and stability in the Palestinian territories, and declared that a just and comprehensive peace will not be achieved unless the Palestinians regain all their legitimate rights, including an independent state on their national land with Al-Quds as its capital, in addition to complete Israeli withdrawal from the Syrian Golan Heights and all Lebanese territories, and the release of all captured Lebanese and prisoners of war.
The Council also reiterated its strong condemnation of Israel's policy of escalation that threatens its neighbors' security and stability, and again stressed the importance of differentiating between military occupation and terrorism, which is denounced.
The Council expressed its appreciation of the efforts of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd bin Abdulaziz and Deputy Prime Minister and Commander of the National Guard Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz in explaining the Arab position on current issues, and affirming the necessity of activating the peace process and promoting the right of the Palestinians to establish their independent state with Al-Quds as its capital.
The Council welcomed the speech of the President of the United States before the United Nations in which he outlined the U.S. vision of a Palestinian state and the end of Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories in accordance with Security Council resolutions 242 and 338. The Council also welcomed the speech of U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell on the concept of the Palestinian State.
The Council renewed its demand to the international community to make the Middle East a region free of any type of weapon of mass destruction, including nuclear arms; and stressed that Israel should join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and open all its nuclear facilities to the international inspection teams.
The Council expressed appreciation of the key role of the Republic of Yemen in the stability of the Arabian Peninsula, and announced that Yemen will participate in the Council of GCC Ministers of Health, the GCC Bureau of Education, the Council of GCC Ministers of Labor and Social Affairs, and the GCC Soccer Tournament. This step will be followed by others, to reflect positively on the development of the countries of the Arabian Peninsula.
Turning to Afghanistan, the Council welcomed the formation of the new interim government under the chairmanship of Hamed Karazai, affirming the readiness of the GCC to cooperate with it to fulfill the aspirations of the Afghan people for stability and economic development.
Condemning the terrorist attack on the Indian parliament on December 12, 2001, the Council expressed the belief that combating terrorism should fall within the framework of international legitimacy as defined by the UN Security Council; and hoped that India and Pakistan will practice the highest self-restraint and be positive in their attitudes.
Concerning the phenomenon of extremism, violence and terrorism, the Council condemned all the acts of terror committed against the United States on September 11, 2001, and expressed its support to the international alliance against terrorism, renewing its full cooperation with the international community to uproot this destructive phenomenon. The Council urged Muslim scholars to demonstrate the Islamic values and principles that are based on tolerance and rejection of killings, and called on the people of other religions, in the name of reason, to refrain from accusing Islam of actions that are alien to it.
The communiqué ended with appreciation for the efforts of Shaikh Jameel Al-Hujeilan during his term of office of Secretary-General, which will expire at the end of March, 2002; and announced the appointment to this office of Qatari Minister of State Abdulrahman bin Hamad Al-Ateyyah. The 23rd GCC Summit is scheduled for December 2002 in Qatar.

Historical tales from Shakespeare
Format Post in BY quiller And Couch
Shared By Guest
Although in the following pages I have chosen those plays, or most of them, which Charles and Mary Lamb omitted from their Tales from Shakespeare, and although I have taken a title very like theirs, my attempt has not been to round off or tag a conclusion to their inimitable work. The Author of this Book is quiller And Couch They, as wise judges of what their book should be, found that a certain class of play lay outside their purpose. Array ISBN . It is just these plays the historical ones which, with a different purpose, are here cast into narrative form. Historical tales from Shakespeare available in English.

Alabama's basketball players make an impact in NCAA Basketball, the NBA and overseas. Among the Crimson Tide players currently making headlines overseas is Kenny Walker, the starting center on Alabama's 2002 Southeastern Conference Championship team.
Kenny received his University of Alabama degree in May 2003, just two months after he and his Alabama teammates played in the NCAA tournament. Degree in hand, Kenny was able to pursue his dream of playing professional basketball and is currently a star in the Czech league. He's playing in the Mattoni National Basketball League. On Wednesday in his third game of the season, he scored 21 points on 8 for 13 shooting from the field. He made 5 of 6 free throws. Defensively the Geofin Novy Jicin player had 14 rebounds and blocked three shots, stats that helped his team win 83-78 against USK Praha.
In his first two games he made 8 of 12 shots and all nine of his free throw attempts to score 25 points. He coupled that with nine rebounds against Nymburk, a team Geofin Novy Jicin faced in the 2007-08 Mattoni NBL Finals. In his season opener on October 8 Kenny scored 17 points, making another 8 of 12, had 11 rebounds and two blocked shots in a 92-84 win against Opava.
Kenny starts his Central European Basketball League play next week in Austria.

I can honestly blame my sister and aunt! They have started me on the road of searching cemeteries for deceased family members. Combining the love of cemeteries and genealogy has been an addiction of mine for many years. Sharing brings us into contact with those family members we have not yet met.
I am researching the Richard Ellwood family from New York. My sister is researching my father's line -- Deacon Benjamin Carter from Connecticut.

Will you please omit William Newton Sparks from Martha Sparks's profile. He is her step son.
John Sparks's first wife is Martha. His second wife is Martha. William Newton Sparks is oldest of John's ten children. I think John's first wife is buried somewhere in Indiana.
So far I found John's 8 children's burial sites. Now,two more to go. Five of them are buried in California. I am looking for James Henry Sparks and Andrew C Sparks.
If you can help me to find James and Andrew, it would be wonderful.
Thank you!

William, Mary Belle, & Margaret Hargis
The relationship between Margaret E. and William L. Hargis would be man and wife. She is aka "Sue" E. Davault.
Arthur F. Hargis can't be the son of Mary B. and William L. Hargis if the death dates given are correct. Mother Mary died Jan 19, 1883 and Arthur was born Nov 11, 1883 - born about 10 months after his mother's death.

Rebecca Hurst
Hello, I was wondering if you could shed some light on Rebecca J. (Fulton) Hurst, Find A Grave Memorial# 10174530.
I am wondering if she was Rebecca Woods. My grandmother Ethel (Warnick) Boswell was briefly married to Henry P. Hurst. His parents were Rebecca Woods and James Hurst of Cedar Bluffs, Saunders, NE. I found their names on the marriage certificate of Henry and Ethel.
Does this make sense to you?
I know that's a very small community as my ggrandparents the Kubicek's and Novak's came from this area...
Thank you for your assistance..

RE: Gaylord Cooke - Mission cem
Hi, Thanks for noticing that. I always go with the year on the marker unless I have very solid information otherwise. It seems like about half the people in the 1800s couldn't quite keep track of the year they were born. I don't have any better information than what a cemetery person gave me. So I would just insert the month and day, if it was my record, and leave the year matching the stone. (My grandfather died in 1949 and it caused a huge blow-up in the family when the grave marker was inscribed with 1862 for the birth year. One faction said 1861 while the others stood with 1862. People get just crazy about this.)

In a surprising move, the Affiliated Chambers of Commerce of Greater Springfield (ACCGS) are now supporting an increase in the Massachusetts minimum wage. As reported today, January 27 on Masslive.com, because the members of the ACCGS pay their employees more than the mandated $8 per hour, they believe that all employers need to pay their employees more, too.
The ACCGS is calling for "measured, incremental" increases in the state minimum wage because it would not affect ACCGS members. While the organization believes that an increase to $11 per hour is too much, they do support a 5 percent increase each year for three years, starting in July. That would raise the state minimum wage to $9.24 per hour. While this may not affect their members, there are businesses that have a legitimate reason for paying employees the minimum wage, such as positions that are low-skill or filled by teenagers.
On the flip side, however, the ACCGS is willing to make a minimum wage concession to lawmakers for something that is very business-friendly: reforms to the state's unemployment insurance system. The organization supports raising the time someone must work before receiving unemployment compensation from 15 weeks to 20 weeks; an allowance by the unemployed to collect benefits for 26 weeks to get in line with what other states are doing; and an easier time fighting what they consider frivolous claims, which pay unemployment insurance to claimants regardless of why the claimants' employment has ended.
However, making this concession will leave small businesses and entrepreneurs out in the cold as they struggle to fill positions that do not merit more than $8 per hour or struggle to stay open with the burden of a minimum wage increase.

Crafted from just one sheet of metal, the Spanish design studio Hisrohi Tsunoda's brand DesignCode Lily II Candleholder is stunning in its' simplicity. It arrives flat with perforations between the petals, so you can bend the individual components to an Art Deco design of your liking. Small tabs on the inside can be adjusted to hold different sizes of candles, but we love a simple tealight so that the Lily II looks like it's glowing from the inside when lit. It casts dreamy, geometric shadows over the ceiling, making it the perfect addition to a romantic evening a deux- or should that be por dos?

Deeplinks Blog posts about File Sharing
Spurred by the aforementioned scholarly book-recall, the Chronicle of Higher Education is holding an online colloquy on fair use and academic publishing tomorrow, July 14 at 1:00 p.m. EST. The colloquy features EFF Staff Attorney Wendy Seltzer, and you can post any comments or questions you may have right now.
Colloquy description:
...or so the latest LawMeme poll suggests -- although common sense itself appears to be the first victim.
The RIAA has been touting technologies offered by Audible Magic as the cure for peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing on university campuses. The company has also been making the rounds of congressional offices in Washington, DC, talking up its technologies as a silver bullet for P2P infringement.
We're all for universities taking steps to educate staff and students about copyright law, as well as to control excessive bandwidth usage. At the same time, it's important that universities are not sold expensive, ineffective solutions simply to appease the public relations needs of the RIAA. EFF Staff Technologist Chris Palmer took a close look at how Audible Magic's "filtering" technology works and argues that it's no silver bullet.
As long as Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) insists on invoking "the children" to push misguided copyright legislation, Ernest Miller will insist on invoking "the pornographers" as its primary beneficiaries.
EFF Board Member Larry Lessig calls the IICA a "lawyer employment act," arguing that it will "force technologists into court before they get to enter the marketplace" and "shift responsibility for striking the balance in copyright law from Congress to unelected federal judges."
Ford has a new product that would give Induce Act-wielding lawyers plenty to do: the 2004 Lincoln Aviator SUV -- a car with built-in WiFi technology. This article from the Detroit Free Press reads as pure inducement:

|Continued dialogue between Film and Video Policy and Programs and organizers from the Working Group on Media Arts.
|Participation of PCH officials in the Groupe de travail en chanson-musique.
|First progress report on the results of the Cultural Development Fund (CDF).
|Organization by the Interdepartmental Coordination Directorate (ICD) of a meeting of national coordinators to discuss the challenges facing French‑speaking communities in the three territories.
|The OLS, in cooperation with Roadmap partners, the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages (OCOL), the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada (FCFA) and the QCGN, organized three one‑day dialogue sessions.
Measurement of expected result for CONSULTATION activities
- The close partnership that evolved between the OLMC groups and Cupids 400 surpassed all expectations regarding
official-languages requirements. The resulting partnership model can be emulated in future undertakings with OLMCs.
- PCH is taking into consideration all written submissions and the results of roundtable discussions in its review of the foreign investment policy.
- The results of the impact survey to determine the impact of the transition to digital television on OLMCs will enable PCH to create a public awareness strategy.
- The progress report on CDF results presented to community partners highlighted the following points:
- Projects funded in 2009‑10 and 2010‑11 in every province and territory except for Nunavut. Just over 40 projects in the Atlantic, nearly 20 in Quebec, nearly 30 in the West and the Territories, and just over 20 in Ontario.
- In terms of arts disciplines, the number of projects receiving funding was essentially the same in the theatre and spoken word, music and song, and heritage sectors. Eight initiatives were for the publishing and literature sector and eight others were for the visual arts and crafts sectors, while two were for the dance sector. A larger number (nearly 40%) of projects were multidisciplinary in that they combined two or more arts disciplines.
- Nearly 23% of initiatives were intended for adults in OLMCs, 60% were intended for adults as well as young people under 21, and just over 10% were more directly aimed at youth.
- Of the projects, 29% reached rural areas, 26% focused more on urban areas, and the other projects were intended for both areas.
- The meeting of national coordinators (section 41) promoted closer ties between federal institutions and OLMCs from the territories. Federal institutions gained a better understanding of the issues in these communities. The follow‑up table shows the commitment of federal institutions and the progress made since the 2006 meeting.
- Discussions held during one‑day dialogue sessions led to better understanding of the respective needs, issues and challenges of OLMCs and federal partners responsible for the implementation of Roadmap initiatives.

The Colorado Avalanche acquired goaltender Reto Berra from the Calgary Flames in a trade for a second-round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft.
Berra, 27, was 9-17-2 with a 2.95 goals-against average and .897 save percentage with the Flames this season, his first in the NHL.
"I'm really excited to go to Colorado, a great team and probably a great city, great hockey town too, and a really famous coach when I was a child in Switzerland, he was one of the biggest," Berra said, speaking of Avalanche coach Patrick Roy. "I'm excited and happy."
He spent the past four seasons with EHC Biel in the Swiss National League A before signing a one-year contract with Calgary. He is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.
He played for Switzerland at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Berra stopped 30 of 31 shots in a 1-0 loss to Sweden during group play in his one start during the tournament.
"With this acquisition we feel we have further solidified our goaltending situation, for the present and future," Avalanche vice president of hockey operations Joe Sakic said in a team release. "He has already shown he can be successful at the NHL level and we are excited about what he can bring to our team."
Berra was a fourth-round pick (No. 106) in the 2006 NHL Draft by the St. Louis Blues. Calgary acquired the rights to Berra as part of a trade for defenseman Jay Bouwmeester on April, 1 2013, and signed him to a one-year contract 16 days later.

Mike D'Antoni has resigned his position as the Los Angeles Lakers Head Coach. D'Antoni had one year remaining on his contract and even asked the Lakers to pick up the team option for the 2015-16 season. When the Lakers decided against it as oppose to being in a lame-duck situation D'Antoni stepped down as the fourth head coach of the franchise in the last three years.
Mike D'Antoni took over after the Lakers fired Mike Brown after 71 games at the helm of the purple and gold and in less than two years on the job resigned. D'Antoni coached the Lakers for 154 games posting a record of 67-87 with a playoff appearance. The Lakers injury-riddled 27-55 campaign, their worst in more than 50 years unfortunately happened on D'Antoni's watch. The Lakers missed the playoffs for only the third time in 38 years.
Both Mike Brown and Mike D'Antoni had the unenviable task of following a legend, 11-time NBA Championship Head Coach Phil Jackson. The most envious position would be the guy after that guy. This statement my shock some, but contrary to popular belief Mike D'Antoni is a good coach. D'Antoni is the son of a legendary high school basketball coach in West Virginia and Ohio. D'Antoni does get to leave on his terms.
D'Antoni was the NBA Coach of the Year after the 2004-05 season and the man credited with re-invigorating fast break basketball in a league gone stale.D'Antoni is the same guy that had a book written about his whose signature up-tempo system it just did not work in Los Angeles. The Lakers and D'Antoni were an odd fit to begin with. You can argue that D'Antoni had a roster devoid of talent, that several key players injured and past their prime.
The argument has valid concerns, however in 12 years and 881 games as a NBA Head Coach for the Nuggets, Suns, Knicks and Lakers D'Antoni has a record of 455-426 with a .516 –winning percentage. In 59 playoff games Mike D'Antoni coached teams went 26-33 with a .441 winning percentage. http://www.basketball-reference.com
D'Antoni has also coached a team that has won less than 45 games eight times. D'Antoni will play the role of fall guy for the Los Angeles Lakers although when you consider that every Mike D'Antoni coached team has the unique distinction of not playing any defense or performing the act so sporadically that it can classified as non-existent. In a league of 30 teams the Lakers ranked 29th defensively. http://www.nba.com
The Lakers allowed on average 109.2 points per game, but exceeded that amount on 39 occasions, the purple and gold allowed 120 points 10 times, 130 points three times and 140 points three times. The fact that D'Antoni runs a system that is not conducive for big men being a factor and is stubbornly reluctant to making defense a priority is reason for a jettison. Mike D'Antoni was not the Lakers biggest problem, far from it.
The Lakers have allowed two of the best basketball minds (Jerry West and Phil Jackson) walk out of their building. Jim Buss has dropped the ball now on two head coaches. In fairness, if David Stern, influenced by the small market NBA owners: did not validate Donald Sterling with the Chris Paul trade we might view Jim Buss in a whole different light.
After Lakers Vice President of Public Relations John Black confirmed D'Antoni's exit the team released the following statement "Given the circumstances, I don't know that anybody could have done a better job the Mike did the past two seasons," Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak said. "One behalf of the Lakers, we thank Mike for the work ethic, professionalism and positive attitude that he brought to the team every day. We wish him the best of luck."

I can't tell you how many times we hear about areas of the home that have some of the worst smells imaginable. Certainly there can be many causes for these odors and quite a few of them can be traced back to a plumbing problem. Or what we like to call, a plumbing opportunity. Yes indeed, if there is something…anything we can do that will contribute to eliminating or reducing these common complaints of foul, rotten egg smells and odors in your home, then we have hopefully can do something to make your day just a little bit (or a lot) better. So let us first get a sampling of some of these nasty plumbing related odor issues, by way of our very own readers. Who better to tell us about these smells than the very people who have been dealing with them. Here is a good little list of real life questions and complaints to be followed by some practical suggestions on what you can do to rid your home of these most awful smells.
1. My toilet stinks and the floor is rotting underneath it. Why?
2.When I start my washer after sitting for a day or two, that first wash smells like sewage. We live out in the country and have our own well, any idea what this could be and how can i fix it?
3. I have a smell that comes the the drain of the sinks and tub when it hot out side what is this?
4. Kitchen sink smells like rotten food on both sides of sink coming from the pipes so what can i do?
5. I have a split level home with a a bathroom upstairs and downstairs. The bathroom downstairs hardly gets used maybe except for the toilet now and then. We have lived in the home for about 3 years. About 2 years ago the downstairs bathroom flooded, we don't know how or why, but it did. We got some very strong blowers and dried everything real well, but I had to do some repairs to a wall and carpet that is on the bathroom (shower) wall about 6 months ago. It had mold in the carpet and some of the wall. The mold on the wall was surface mold, but I had to cut a small section of the carpet that had developed mold in it. Before I effected repairs though, I got a heater and dried that section of the wall out very well. There does not seem to be anymore mold. But the downstairs bathroom stinks like a sewer. It wasn't this way when we moved in, but has developed over the last year. What could it be? Can mold stink like a sewer? There is no longer any mold stink in the downstairs at all. So I believe I got all the mold.
6. My shower drain has an odor every time i shower. The odor smells like an old fashioned perm. What could it be? How do I solve the problem?
7. What is it when I run my shower a sewer smell comes out of the basement and rises thru out the house?
8.My house has had a smell like that of cooked or boiled eggs that I've noticed for a couple of weeks now. It's only noticeable when I first walk in the house from outside and is only on the 1st floor and not the basement. I have had a professional check for a gas leak, and no leak. I don't notice it more when flushing the toilet, although, I have noticed that when I flush my high efficiency toilet, at times not everything flushes out on the first flush (ie small bits of toilet paper left behind). I've poured vinegar down my kitchen and bathroom pipes but that did not fix the problem. Could this be a partial blocked sewage line or other plumbing problem?
9. There is a foul smell coming from the unit were our washing machine drains. It is a square shaped unit with hot and cold water valves on top and a hole on the bottom for the washing machine to drain into. I think that it is moldy lint in the drain pipe, how do I get it out?
10.I just recently installed a new sink. I replaced the trap as well. Nothing leaks and it drains properly, but every time I run the water I get that sewer smell. This only happens when I run the water and other sinks in the house do not have the same issue. Please Help!!!
11.Over the last week I have noticed a strange smell in my garage and somewhat in my house. The smell is a chemical fertilizer type smell. It is sometimes faint and sometimes extremely strong, usually more so in the morning. I am curious if this could be a plumbing problem. Of note: my home is a condo with a shared wall. I have been unable to reach my neighbor to ask about it. There is no fertilizer in my garage or anything new to cause the smell. There is a laundry machine in the garage but the smell doesn't seem to be coming from it. Really puzzled and a little worried given the chemical odor.
12.Our downstairs toilet is very smelly. Our next door neighbour has had problems but seem to have sorted out their blockage. We are on a shared drain. We have used drain unblocker and flushed it through, there seems to be flow, although not a great deal of flow. Have tried various things to get rid of smell, it smells musty and vaguely sewer, can you help please
13.MY well water pressure is very low and the water smells like motor oil. Any suggestions why?
14.We turn off the facets. And the hot water leaks real bad I came home &I water flooded in the hallway & but it was coming from underneath the my hardwood floor. We try tried to fix the facets but it continue to leak. My home is on a concert slab.what am I looking at here,what do I need to do. Also the water is seeping into one of my room now and a musty smell is becoming noticeable.Thank you
15. Sewer gas smell coming from the shower. Is there anything I can do beside adding a trap. This would require breaking out the tile floor
16.I have a 3bd/2ba "99" modular home. In the spare bathroom, the toilet will flush but very slowly and its like it has no pressure and it takes like 3 or more flushes 2 get a tiny piece of paper 2 go down. The bathtub and sink work fine in that bathroom and the master bathroom works fine. But also when i run my washing machine and it drains it gurgles in my kitchen sink, but the dish washer works fine. There's a big soggy spot in my backyard and when it rains real bad you can sometimes smell sewer. I just recently had the septic tank pumped out hoping that would fix the spare toilet, the sometimes smell, and the soggy spot. Unfortunately it did not, although i have not noticed the sometimes smell in awhile. but when they were here pumping it out, OMG, that smell was harsh and awful and you could probably smell it a mile away. So what can i do next to try to get the spare toilet to work properly, the sink to stop gurgling, and the soggy spot in my yard to dry up.
17. Got weird smell after I flush my toilet. But the toilet itself is not leaking or clogging at all. Can you please tell me what might cause this smell. The smell seem to be somewhere around the walls from my second floor bathroom.
18. Recently removed an old shower with a very foul smelling drain. I was able to get the whole shower removed, concrete base and all. The drain needs to be covered as we want to tile over it. Is there a way to cap the drain and possibly fill over with self-leveling cement? And if so, will the moisture from the drain, or the smell still be able to seep through? And will I be able to tile over it?
19. Recently had a clogged kitchen sink on both sides which also clogged bathroom sink tub & toilet OK. So i snaked the drain in bathroom and fixed clog. Since then I have this sewer smell coming from bathroom sink. If i plug the sink drain with a piece of cotton smell goes away(by the way no overflow hole in bath sink). This concerns me for health reasons.
20. I got up this morning a when brushing my teeth I smelled this terrible stinky rotten egg like smell coming up from the sink. It is a foul stench and am trying to understand how to get rid of it.
Getting Rid of the Plumbing Related Smells in Your Home
So now that you have a handle on the terrible smells that plague many of our homes, let's try to better understand the underlying cause and more importantly how you can go about getting rid of these annoying smells.
A. Not surprisingly, the toilet is one area plagued with some of the worst smells imaginable and it is not necessarily what you may first think. Typically a deodorizer can be place in the toilet bowl and/or tank to help remedy the obvious foul odors coming from the toilet from everyday use. Regular flushing should be par for the course. Sewer organisms can make their way, uninvited, into your toilet bowl and the water in your toilet bowl can stagnate if not flushed regularly. But what if the underlying cause of the smell is something different?
The smell could be caused by a broken wax ring seal found at the base of the toilet. Your toilet drain pipe depends on the wax ring and flange to be in working order. If there is a leak and the seal is compromised, then sewer gases can rise up and create the foul smell you so do not want. Check to make sure your toilet is seated level and ensure the anchor bolts are properly tightened. If your toilet is rocking around, either your bolts are not secure enough are the toilet is not seated level. Be careful not to over tighten as you do not want to crack your porcelain bowl. You may need to remove the toilet and visually inspect your seal and replace as needed.
Also, you should look for cracks in the toilet base, any of the piping, including the P trap as that is also an invitation for sewer gases to rise up. The P trap sometimes can get mucked up with all kinds of slime and crud, so it is not a difficult task to remove the P trap and clean it out thoroughly.
Plumbing fixtures by nature are built into your home with a vent pipe to ensure their is replenished air as water leaves the area down the drain. If the vent pipe is clogged then your will have a air circulatory problem impacting the plumbing fixtures in your home.
B. An annoying smell often plagues sinks in the bathroom and kitchen. More often than not, it is those sinks that get the most use that at times will have some of the worst odors. If you ever look under your sink in the kitchen you will notice the pipes are often shaped like an S. This is not the artistic side of plumbing, but is a practical way of shaping the pipe in such a way that water gets trapped into these curved pockets. Water acts as a smell barrier preventing sewer gases from rising up the drain, right up into your nose! This is your drain trap pipes. If you have a leak here, well you best get it attended to immediately as the bad smell is not your only problem.
Kitchen sinks present unique issues because of the food particles and debris that oftentimes ends up down the drain. This also applies to the garbage disposal. If there is no water circulation through those drain pipes for an extended period of time…let's say you went on vacation….or if the pipe is clogged for a good amount of time…it presents an environment ripe for bad bacteria and sewer gases to do their dastardly deeds.
There are some off the shelf products you can purchase to help clean up and out the muck, but you can also take a about 1/2 a cup of baking soda and pour it down each sink drain, then chase it down with a cup of vinegar. Sit back and watch these elements work together. You will see a lot of foam. After 5 minutes, thoroughly rinse out the sink and drain with hot water. That will set back the smell germs.
The bathroom sink smell can be particularly annoying. If there is no leak and you have cleaned out the P trap and have tried a sink cleaner product, then make sure you have a proper operating vent pipe for proper air circulation as it could be obstructed if you are still smelling the sewer odor. A sign that your vent may be obstructed is that your sink water will gurgle and bubble when you fill it up quickly and wait for it to drain. If all of your sinks are smelling up a storm, the I would question the public works water authority for your area. But if its just isolated sinks, then it more likely you have an obstruction somewhere in the vent pipe. Maybe its high on the roof line where venting/circulation should occur where a bird or squirrel nest is creating an obstruction.
C. If the smell is coming from your shower or bathtub drain, then once again you need to play plumbing detective. The culprit could be again in the trap drain. Accessibility is more of a challenge here. Remove the drain cover and take a look to see if there is some water standing in the trap (i.e. remember…smell barrier). Often a good, strong dose of drain cleaner can help with the problem.
D. Weather can sometimes play havoc when it comes to smells in the home. Older homes can be more vulnerable to humid weather and if there is inadequate air circulation, a lingering odor may be the order of the day.
F. Many people complain or have noticed that their is an odor coming from their washing machine. Remember, odors originate from bacteria and when conditions are right, bacteria can thrive in certain areas as washing machines can be a hot spot. Smelly clothes, dirt, grime, as well as detergents and fabric softener residue can accumulate in small, thin layers and colonies of bacteria can grow. Keeping the interior and exterior of the machine is important and you can use various antibacterial cleaning supplies commercially available. There are some specific products designed for cleaning washing machines. Another very practical tactic you should employ all of the time is keep washing machine door open when not in use to promote better air circulation. Some of the newer models come with a sanitizer cycle that you can run with or without clothes to help remedy the problem. You should also check to be sure you are not over stuffing your washing machine as the clothes will not be sufficiently clean and the odor problem will grow worse. Also make sure the clothes is getting sufficient water during the appropriate cycles. Also, remove the cleaned clothes and put into the dryer as soon as the washing cycle has concluded. Leaving the damp clothes in the washer enclosed promotes bacterial growth.
Sometimes the foul smell originates from the washing machine drain pipe. This can consist of mildew, slime, and all sorts of muck. Sometimes a good cleaning will help remedy the problem. Try pouring a cup of bleach down the drain pipe. Just as described above, these drain pipes have a trap (sometimes called a P trap or U trap) that creates a water barrier to prevent escaping sewer gases entering up into the utility room where you washer is located. If this trap is blocked or leaking, then action needs to be taken to correct. Another idea is you can have the drain pipe brushed, then add a degreaser. Then run a full cycle (no clothes) through. Drain Care or similar product from a place like Home Depot can also be utilized.
A special word about the smell of rotten eggs is definitely a warning that an unsafe level of sewer gases are intruding in your home The stench of sewer gases consist of methane and hydrogen sulfide….not something you want to be around for an extended period of time. If this is the smell, then seek out the cause. Follow the smell to its source and act accordingly.

Tideline Ocean Resort and Spa
Ocean breezes playfully dart among yoga practitioners in an outdoor pavilion. Robed spa-goers meditate on the grass in a tranquil garden. Therapeutic hands gently knead away tension, gliding over backs with essential oils. Healing and relaxation are a form of high art at Tideline Ocean Resort and Spa, formerly The Omphoy Babor Beauty Spa, and it's not hard to see why the spa won first place with a perfect score of 100 in Condé Nast Traveler's 2012 Readers' Poll of top resort spas in the country. Director Kimberly DeOrsey spins two decades of spa experience into creating a magical, personalized experience for each guest who walks in the door of the beachside space.
Though the spa puts its own luxurious spin on standards such as Swedish massages and mani-pedis, it also keeps things current with state-of-the-art treatments such as the HydraFacial system. This press-lauded treatment uses a water wand to help resurface and nourish skin, gently sweeping away dead cells while supercharging their replacements with hydrating serums and motivational half-time speeches. They also tackle tension and other ailments with a holistic approach that includes reiki and acupuncture.

As the Menifee Countryside Marketplace continues to expand, Massage Envy prepares to unveil itself as the newest addition to the shopping center. The new site is expected to open sometime around Wednesday, January 4th, just after the New Year's weekend.
Construction of the new clinic is already under way; granite countertops are being installed and a quiet room for relaxation before or after the sessions will be created. With the staff fully hired and currently undergoing training, the biggest task ahead is moving in the furnishings and equipment. It's a big job, but Massage Envy's Regional Director Chris Binkley admits that it is "very exciting to see the clinic come together."
Massage Envy's opening introductory price offer is $39 for a customized one hour session of massage treatment or $49 for a one hour session of a facial. All one hour sessions provide 50 minutes of hands-on on the table, with the other 10 minutes for consultation, undressing, and redressing.
The Massage Envy team is extremely excited to be opening their new location and hope to expect a warm welcoming from Menifee citizens! You can find out more about their company and services by calling them at 951 821-3222 or through their website.

The new game producer forums have been online for about a month and the membership count is now close to 300. There's 20 banned users already. We are taking the rules seriously, and want to keep things civil. If somebody tries to just register to spam something (without reading rules – nor using common sense) he will be banned, and that's it.
So far the strategy has worked fine and the discussion has been civil. I want to ensure that the forums are place for great discussion. I want quality over quantity.
And that's why we have set limits. The rules are quite simple and rely on one major guideline: use your common sense. That goes far away. There's alternative for whining. Instead of blaming for everybody, suggest a solution. master complainers are kept away.
We set limits in the very beginning. I know from experience that if you don't set some limits right from the beginning, it will be much more difficult later. Anyone who has trained dogs (or has children) knows how difficult it can be to get the dog (or a child for that matter) to stop doing something he could have done earlier. If you allow dog to sleep on the sofa for two years, you'll face lots of resistance if you try to change that rule when the dog is 3 years old. If you allow child to decide what he eats when he is 2 years old, rest assured you'll face lots of resistance if you try to change that habit when the child is 6 years old.
See in the future, and set the limits according to what you want.

As Lord Mayor of Dublin, I have today received the most wonderful news for this great city of ours – The Director General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, has informed me that Dublin has been formally designated a UNESCO City of Literature, part of the Creative Cities network. In her letter to me, confirming the designation, The DG said 'I am confident that the city of Dublin…will play an active part in the network's joint activities and I know that I can count on your city's innovative capacity and on its spirit of solidarity with cities in developing countries…I look forward to a fruitful cooperation between UNESCO and the City of Dublin'
Dublin is only the fourth city in the world to receive this sought after – and, I believe, thoroughly deserved accolade - which we now share with Edinburgh, Melbourne and Iowa. The application process for the designation, led by our City Council Library Service in association with a steering committee representing most of the relevant agencies in Dublin, has been a long and arduous journey and congratulations are due to all who have been involved in the process.
This is a fantastic opportunity for Dublin to capitalise on its international reputation as a great literary city and I want to encourage all the partners in this endeavour to work together in maximising the value of this rare honour. Now that the designation has been received, it is up to all of us to ensure that the aims of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in championing cultural excellence, and in our case, literary excellence - are met in full in the years which follow.
Those of us who are intent on developing Dublin's credentials as a cultural tourism destination will also understand and value this opportunity to increase our city's visibility in a highly competitive market. The range of literary and cultural activities which Dublin already hosts is evidence of our commitment in this area and I am certain that the added impetus of the UNESCO brand will galvanize new and exciting initiatives in time to come.
Finally, may I draw your attention to the Dublin UNESCO City of Literature website which is being launched today and which will act both as a channel for all that the City plans to do in support of its new status - and as a focal point for all those interested in connecting with Dublin – The City of Literature.

Eugene, Ore. -- The 10th-ranked Stanford softball team (42-14, 6-10 Pac-10) set a new school record for wins in a season with its 2-1 victory over 16th-ranked Oregon (33-23, 5-11 Pac-10) today at Howe Field. Rained delayed the start of the game by a hour and 20 minutes.
The Cardinal took a 2-0 lead in the sixth inning when sophomore SS Robin Walker led off with a walk, which was followed by sophomore OF Jessica Mendoza, the current Pac-10 Player of the Week, being hit by a pitch. After a passed ball advanced the runners, sophomore 1B Sarah Beeson hit a grounder to third base, allowing Walker to score. Beeson reached base safely on a fielder's choice. Two batters later and with Mendoza at third, freshman DP Maureen LeCocq hit a ground ball to the third baseman that was misplayed allowing Mendoza to score to give Stanford a 2-0 lead.
Stanford had threatened to score in the top of the first inning when Mendoza reached on an error and later stole second. Beeson then singled to right field, but Oregon threw out Mendoza at home for the final out.
After going down in order in the second and third inning, the Cardinal mounted an attack in the fourth. Walker led off with a double, followed by a base on balls by Mendoza. Once again both runners advanced on a passed ball and LeCocq earned a bases loaded walk, but junior 3B Jenni Shideler's foul fly ball ended the inning.
Freshman starting pitcher Dana Sorensen (21-7) did not allow a hit until the fifth inning when Oregon's Andrea Vidlund singled to with one out and a runner on base via a walk. Sorensen got out of the inning by striking out the final two batters. Sorensen finished the game for 14th complete game of the year, striking out five and allowing only three hits.
Oregon scored its lone run in the bottom of the seventh inning on a home run by Jill Robinson, ending Sorensen's streak of 38 innings without allowing an earned run.
The Cardinal will play games at Oregon State on Saturday and Sunday.

After school one afternoon in 2004, seventh-grade physics teacher Andy Virtue '00 gathered with fellow teachers at Springton Lake Middle School in Media, Pa.
They were planning a pick-up basketball game in which students would compete against teachers. It soon became apparent that most of the student body was planning to attend the game.
As anticipation built, Virtue recruited other teachers to work the event, and had the idea to charge admission. It was a sell-out, with more than 300 tickets sold in less than two days.
That first game raised $600. The money was sent to Hope Academy, Springton Lake's "sister" school for underprivileged youth in Masaka, Uganda.
When Virtue started teaching at Springton Lake in 2001, the school already was involved in programs to benefit Hope Academy, but no major fundraisers had been organized. "Hoops for Hope," became an annual event.
"It keeps growing each year," Virtue says. "We now have more than 60 teachers working the game, and the step team and cheerleaders perform."
Teachers keep score, tear tickets and supervise students. Another Cabrini alumni, health and physical education teacher William Carr '96, is involved in Hoops for Hope as well.
Carr leads Cabrini men's basketball in all-time career points and was inducted into the College's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2009.
Since that first game, Hoops for Hope has raised more than $10,000 for Hope Academy. The money provides necessary equipment and facilities at the school, like a modern bathroom with running water, which is rare in Masaka, and helps defer tuition costs for the many students orphaned by AIDS.
One year, game proceeds paid for chicken eggs; students sold some eggs in town, hatched the rest of them, and raised the chickens. Springton Lake's fundraising also has contributed desks, library books, and computers for Hope Academy.
As for his goal in his own classroom, Virtue hopes to instill in each of his 105 students an inquisitive nature, where they are compelled to seek answers.
"The biggest reward is seeing them make discoveries in the lab and solve their own problems," Virtue says.
"They get this look on their faces where you know something has clicked." He also is proud to see them display enthusiasm for helping others less fortunate than themselves.
"All of this originated from just wanting to play basketball with the students after school," Virtue says.
Andy Virtue received the St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Award for Community Service during Alumni Weekend 2010.
