- But now as the Gordon's rebuild some people believe residential fire sprinklers should be a required part of their new home. |
TRENTON – Fire safety legislation that would require the installation of a fire suppression system in new single and two-family homes was approved Monday by the General Assembly.
"This is a simple, commonsense step that will quite simply save lives and property," said Deputy Speaker John Wisniewski (D-Middlesex), a sponsor of the bill. "We know these suppression systems are effective, so there's really no reason why they shouldn't be as commonplace in new construction as windows and doors."
"Ensuring public safety is among our top priorities, and this would be an important step toward ensuring fire safety in new construction," said Speaker Pro Tempore Jerry Green (D-Union/Middlesex/Somerset), another sponsor of the bill. "A change like this can go a long way toward saving lives of residents and firefighters, and that's always a good thing."
The bill, named the "New Home Fire Safety Act", requires the installation of a fire suppression system in new single and two-family homes. Under the bill (A-1570), a certificate of occupancy would not be issued for a new home until the state or local code enforcement agency determines that the home is equipped with a fire suppression system that conforms to State Uniform Construction Code systems promulgated by the Commissioner of Community Affairs.
The bill would exempt manufactured homes and single and two-family homes that are not connected to public water systems.
The bill permits municipalities and the Commissioner of Community Affairs to each establish a fee that covers the cost of inspection and the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
The bill was approved 44-30 by the Assembly and now awaits further consideration by the Senate.

wont spin
Model Number: mah3000 Brand: Maytag Age: 5 - 10 years
Along with everybody else, my maytag wouldnt spin. Repairman charged me $300 lat year and replaced the circuit board even though no signs of burning but it did start spinning after that. Year later, no spin again. I unplugged and checked the wax motor (it is the old one and I ordered a new one) and the switches they all seemed fine. No burned r11's etc. Put everything back together and closed the door and it went directly into locked mode. Ran a cycle hoping to have it unlock at the end but it remained locked. By the way, it did spin, strange. I may have plugged the wires back in wrong but I dont think so. So now I have spinning but door remains in the lock mode? Related Models |

To unlock door, Remove the detergent/softener dispenser cup. You'll see somewhere in the direction toward the front, a red vinyl cord. Pull the cord and the door is unlocked. Then, inside the console is a tech sheet. It gives diagnosis tests and procedures.

Effect of Tooth Age on Microtensile Bond Strength of Two Fluoride-releasing Bonding Agents
�zer, F�sun/Sengun, Abdulkadir/Ozturk, Bora/Can Say, Esra/Tagami, Junji
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of age of dentin and enamel on the microtensile bond strengths of a glass-ionomer based, all-in-one, single-step, self-etching adhesive system (Reactmer Bond, RB) and an antibacterial, two-step self-etching primer system (ABF Bond, ABF). Materials and Methods: Extracted molars from 3 age groups (20 to 25, 35 to 40, and 50 to 55 years) were used. Enamel was removed from the occlusal surfaces of the teeth, and the entire flat surfaces were covered with composite resin (4 mm in height) following application of bonding agents. The bonded specimens were thinly sectioned parallel to the long axis of the tooth into 0.87 � 0.03 mm2 rectangular sections, resulting in 6 to 7 enamel specimens and 10 to 15 dentin specimens per tooth. The specimens were subjected to the microtensile test at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. The data were analyzed by Univariate ANOVA, Tukey HSD, and regression analysis. Results: The bond strength of ABF to both enamel and dentin was higher than the bond strength of RB. Bond strengths of ABF to dentin were significantly higher than the bond strengths to enamel (p < 0.05). The 35- to 40-year age group of ABF showed the highest bond strength of all. In RB dentin groups, 34% of specimens showed cohesive failure in composite resin material. Conclusion: Bond strength values to enamel were not affected by age of teeth in either bonding system. Dentinal bond strength using ABF changed according to age of the teeth. Age did not affect bond strength values of RB to dental hard tissues. However, the high number of cohesive failures in Reactmer paste indicated low tensile strength of the material. Keywords: dentin structure, age, bond strength, dentin bonding systems

Kashmir is known internationally for its style of embroidery which is found on garments like the phiran, tapestry, curtains, shawls and household...
Kantha Embroidery of West Bengal
The Kantha Embroidery is the predominantly the most popular form of embroidery practiced by the rural women. The traditional form of Kantha embroidery was done the soft dhotis and saris. The thread for this craft was drawn out of the borders of the used cloth. It is a simple running stitch made on the edges. When five to six layers of the cloth were embroidered together it formed a quilt. Fewer layers of the cloth is used to make clothes for other purposes. The outer layers of the cloth comprises of white or light colored clothes which made the embroidery perceptible. Depending on the use of the finished product they were known as Lepkantha, Sujni Kantha etc. The embroidered cloth is used as stoles for women and shawls. The clothes also find use as covers for mirrors, boxes, pillows etc. The entire cloth is covered with running stitches and usually has beautiful folk motifs, floral motifs, animal and birds figures and geometrical shapes. Themes from day to day activities are also a common subject for the embroidery. Such stitches on the cloth give it a slight wrinkled wavy effect. The contemporary Kantha is not necessarily done on old multiple layered saris or dhotis. It can also be seen on the present day garments like the sarees, dupatta, shirts for men and women, bedding and other furnishing fabrics. For these fabrics and dresses the base fabric used is cotton and silk.

Shoes for Me! by Sue Fliess
Feet got bigger,
heel to toe.
Time for new shoes. Off we go!
I am older.
Look, I've grown.
Mom says I can choose my own!
There aren't any children in my household (yet). But my brothers, cousins, and I do enjoy huddling over a good picture book before bedtime. The other night, we read Shoes for Me!, written by Sue Fliess and illustrated by Mike Laughead (Marshall Cavendish, 2011). Shoes for Me! is about a little hippo going shoe shopping with her mom. For the very first time, she gets to choose shoes for herself, and the book takes us along as she spends the day trying on different pairs.
Shoes that zip up,
shoes that tie.
Shoes to tiptoe to the sky.
Shoes that clatter,
shoes that clop,
Shoes that light up when I hop.
After we read Shoes for Me!, my 17-year-old cousin Bobby stated, "That was wonderful." My 19-year-old cousin Lina grinned and said, "Cuuute." My 27-year-old brother JP clapped to show his approval. Shoes for Me! is a perfect picture book for wee ones about to choose their own shoes or clothes for the first time (or who have only just begun choosing shoes or clothes for themselves). They'll be able to relate to the experiences of the little hippo (such as frustration over too-tight or too-expensive shoes), and have fun and even some laughs with her. As for the illustrations, the earthy colors of the little hippo, her mom, and all their animal friends (giraffes, kangaroos, etc.) provide balance and a nice contrast to all the different bright colors, shapes, sizes, and designs of the many pairs of shoes featured in the book.
Shoes for Me! is simple, adorable, and pleasing. I can't wait to give it to my two-year-old niece Micie.

In a previous posting (Aug. 8, 2006: e-portfolios, preliminary thoughts) I summarized the state of eportfolios, provided some links to colleges that are using them, tried to map out a definition, and asked some questions.
Two of the over-arching questions are not technical, though how they are answered might drive the technological decisions about which applications to pursue:
1) who owns the portfolio
2) who is the audience
For example, if the portfolio is to be owned by the student both while at UVM and beyond, it cannot be hosted by a system or within an account that expires after the student leaves UVM.
If the portfolio is to reflect the student's entire UVM career, it cannot be composed in a system that ties the portfolio to a single course. (Blackboard/Vista's portfolio program seems to have finally figured out the limitations of a course-based approach. The demo appears to show that each student has a MyPortfolio folder to which they can save material from any of their Blackboard courses. That material can then be presented, as desired, to a number of outside constituencies. Bears further exploration…can one also save materials from courses that have no corresponding Blackboard component?)
If the portfolio is to be used for assessment as well as reporting for accreditation purposes, it should easily integrate with UVM's current student information systems.
And none of this addresses how to build a "portfolio culture" within UVM…

Radde, Nicole (2007) Modeling Non-Linear Dynamic Phenomena in Biochemical Networks. PhD thesis, Universität zu Köln.
| PDF Download (4Mb) | Preview |
Facilitated by the development of high-throughput techniques, the focus of biological research has changed in the last decades from the investigation of single cell components to a system-level approach, which aims at an understanding of interactions between these cell components. This objective requires modeling and analysis methods for these regulatory networks. In this thesis, we investigate mechanisms causing qualitative dynamic behaviors of regulatory subsystems. For this purpose, we introduce a differential equation model based on underlying molecular binding reactions, whose parameters are estimated using time series concentration data. In the first part, the model is applied to subsystems with qualitatively different dynamic behaviors: The response of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis to DNA damages is described as the relaxation of a system to its steady state after external perturbation. Specific repression of genes in Escherichia coli by the global regulator protein H-NS is explained by the interrelation of feedback mechanisms. In order to prevent overfitting, a typical problem in network inference from experimental data, we introduce an approach based on Bayesian statistics, which includes prior knowledge about the system in terms of prior probability distributions. This approach is applied to simulated data and to the regulatory network of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cycle. Motivated by results on the yeast cell cycle, the second part of this thesis investigates the robustness of periodic behavior in regulatory networks. The model presented belongs to a class of differential equations whose solutions tend to converge to a steady state. Accordingly, periodic behavior is not robust with respect to parameter variations. We explain this phenomenon by applying a bifurcation analysis and investigating the stability of steady states. It is shown that large time scale differences and an inclusion of time-delays can stabilize sustained oscillations, and we postulate that they are important to maintain oscillations in biological systems.

West Ham United are interested in signing the £7m-rated Italian striker Giampaolo Pazzini, but it is the return today of Kieron Dyer, out of action since a double-break to his right leg in August 2007, which is causing excitement at Upton Park.
A specially-arranged, behind-closed-doors practice match at the club's training ground is scheduled to take place today with the England international, if he comes through the game unscathed, hoping to return to first-team action in time for the busy Christmas schedule. "It's like we are signing a £6m player," said one West Ham source in reflection of the fee that was paid for the player.
Dyer, who turns 30 this month, was injured in a pre-season friendly away to Bristol Rovers less than two weeks after he joined the club from Newcastle United in a four-year deal. It had been hoped that he would return in six to nine months but the midfielder, who can also play as a striker, suffered a series of setbacks and underwent a number of operations as his injury persisted. Having returned to training in the summer it was hoped he would start this campaign but he suffered pain in his shin.
Dyer's expected return will provide a major boost to West Ham who are, at last, seeing their crippling injury list clear up in the face of their worrying league form. Mark Noble and Matthew Etherington are back in training and while although Danny Gabbidon and Dean Ashton are still out the latter has, at least, started jogging again on a gym treadmill after yet another ankle injury and it is hoped he will return next year.
West Ham would, nevertheless, like to sign Pazzini who is well-known to the manager Gianfranco Zola from his time with the Italian Under-21 side. He has struggled to make an impression in the Fiorentina first-team, especially after the signing of Alberto Gilardino from Milan and, now aged 24, is understood to be keen to again link up with Zola and try his luck in the Premier League.
Understandably, given West Ham's financial predicament, with the owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson hoping to sell the club, Zola has been told that he needs to sell before he can buy. At the same time the Italian has made clear that he wants to trim the unwieldy squad he inherited from his predecessor Alan Curbishley, and the names of a number of players has been circulated to other clubs. West Ham already have eight players out on loan.
Those up for sale include Calum Davenport, Nigel Quashie, Jonathan Spector, Luis Boa Morte, Lee Bowyer and Hayden Mullins with Zola wanting to reduce the size of the first-team squad to around 26 rom its current total of around 32. West Ham have a number of highly promising young players, including Freddie Sears, Jack Collison and James Tomkins.
The club have also not received any inquiry from Tottenham Hotspur over their goalkeeper Robert Green – who caused some friction last summer over his demands over a new contract but who is wanted by the club – or Matthew Upson who, equally, is not for sale.
Executives have dismissed claims that they want to sell either Craig Bellamy or Carlton Cole, who recently signed a new five-year deal, despite the financial crisis and the potentially damaging compensation owed to Sheffield United over the Carlos Tevez affair which is pre-occupying the club. West Ham say they need to hang on to their most important players if they are to avoid relegation.
West Ham matches missed by Kieron Dyer since breaking his leg in August 2007.

Education Department Releases Updated Financial Aid Shopping Sheet to Provide Students with Additional Transparency in College Costs
Nearly 2,000 schools have voluntarily committed to using the Shopping Sheet
The U.S. Department of Education has released an updated version of the administration's financial aid model award letter, known as the Shopping Sheet, and announced that nearly 2,000 institutions of higher education have voluntarily committed to using this important consumer tool. Unveiled in July 2012, the Shopping Sheet is a resource developed jointly by the Education Department and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to make it easier for students to understand the type and amount of aid they qualify for, and easily compare aid packages offered by different higher education institutions. The Shopping Sheet gives students a standardized, yet personalized form that clearly spells out – before students enroll – how much grant money they will receive and how much they may need to take out in loans to cover out-of-pocket expenses. When the tool was released in 2012, Secretary Duncan sent an open letter to college and university presidents asking them to voluntarily adopt the Shopping Sheet, to replace or supplement their financial aid award letters for the 2013-14 school year. "I am pleased to report that nearly 2,000 institutions – representing 8.1 million undergraduates– have now voluntarily committed to using the Shopping Sheet," said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. "The Shopping Sheet helps prospective students navigate the often daunting process of selecting and paying for higher education. Providing students and families with clear, easy-to-compare information about college costs is an important part of the administration's efforts to improve college access and affordability." Since the Shopping Sheet's initial release, the Department has received feedback from students, guidance counselors, and financial aid administrators on ways to modify the Shopping Sheet, which are now reflected in the revised version, effective in the 2014-15 school year. In addition to minor language changes to improve clarity, the Shopping Sheet has added a glossary to better explain financial aid terms. A detailed breakdown of the updates is available in a new blog post by the Department. While the primary goal of the Shopping Sheet is to enable students and families to better compare aid offers between institutions, it also provides a host of outcome information about each school, including graduation, loan default, and median borrowing rates – all aimed at providing as much information as possible to make informed decisions about where to attend college. The Obama Administration has set a goal for our nation to lead the world in college completion by the end of the decade, and making college more affordable is critical to reaching that goal. The revised Shopping Sheet announced today is one of several consumer disclosure tools developed by the Obama Administration to ensure that students are equipped with the information they need when investing in higher education. Others tools include the College Scorecard, college affordability and transparency lists, financial awareness counseling tool, and the financial aid toolkit.

PopcornHour have revealed their latest media streamer, the C200, and compared to the previous-gen models it's a significant step up. As well as a new 667MHz processor, the Sigma SMP8643, the PopcornHour C200 gets an HDMI 1.3 port, two SATA connectors, and a user-accessible drive bay for a HDD, DVD or Blu-ray drive.

Updated with pricing/availability after the cut
Slotting in a Blu-ray drive either requires an internal hard-drive or 1GB USB drive be attached, but we imagine most owners will do the former anyway as it seems a shame not to use the C200 to its full extent. Connectivity includes four USB 2.0 (plus another inside), component/S-Video/composite video, stereo analog audio and S/PDIF optical and coaxial digital audio, gigabit ethernet and a miniPCI card slot that's intended for an optional draft-n WiFi card.
The standard remote uses 2.4GHz RF, though an IR version is available, and the list of codecs the C200 supports is so long it'd probably be quicker to say what it doesn't play. There's also RSS and web video/audio/image support, including YouTube, Flickr and Veoh. No word on pricing or availability, but this is one very capable machine.
Update: According to the press release, below, the PopcornHour C200 will be available in July 2009, priced at $299.
Press Release:
Syabas Announces Next-Generation Internet Media Streaming Settop Box
Versatile Popcorn C-200 Now Features Blu-ray Playback Support, a Front Panel LCD and Removable Drive Bay for Either a Hard Disk Drive or Blu-ray Player
FREMONT, Calif. –(Business Wire)– Jun 17, 2009 Syabas, a leading provider of over-the-top settop software and hardware and makers of the award winning Popcorn Hour A-110, today announced the Popcorn C-200, a next-generation Internet settop box that streams digital content from the Internet or its internal hard drive to your television set and home stereo.¹ Unlike competing Internet settop boxes that support a limited number of Internet audio and video file types, the C-200 supports more than 30, including MPEG 1, 2, 4, AVI, H.264, Xvid, MKV, Windows Media and others.
"In today's tough economic times, there are people facing the decision to either cancel their cable subscription or their Internet connection to make ends meet," said Syabas COO, Alex Limberis. "With a C-200, people can experience the best of both worlds, as a lot of compelling content is freely available on the Internet. Today, consumers want to watch programs when they want them, not when a network or cable company tells them it's okay."
Like its predecessor, the Popcorn Hour A-110, the C-200 streams news and entertainment content from a number video partner sites such as YouTube, Vuze, Revision 3, CNET TV, Veoh, Blip.tv, NBC, CBS, CNN and BBC and Internet radio sites, such as Radio box and Live365 Radio. Additionally, the C-200 can stream still image content from Flickr, Pikeo and Picasa.
Additional new features of the C-200 include:
A redesigned external shell, which helps the unit better integrate into existing entertainment component stacks
Wireless RF remote control
An LCD display for quickly searching, streaming and/or downloading content, which is useful when listening to music without having the TV on
A gigabit Ethernet connection for lightning-fast file transfers
A front-loading drive bay that can be used to install a hard drive for storing and playing back downloaded content
The ability to add a Blu-ray drive with full support for Blu-ray navigation and Blu-ray Live
AVC HD format and navigation for displaying home video content from AVC format HD cameras
The C-200 includes component and HDMI out for high definition playback on today's HDTVs. And for audio purists, the device features an optical line out, for playing back content that's been encoded in Dolby Digital or DTS. The box also plays Wave, AAC and MP3 audio files, among others."Unlike competing new media streamers that have been around for less than a year and can require someone to hack a product's operating system to get them to work, Syabas has been happily shipping media streaming products to satisfied customers around the world for several years," said Alex Limberis, chief operating officer of Syabas.
The Popcorn C-200 is expected to be available in July for $299 from www.popcornhour.com. The package includes the C-200, an HDMI cable, RF remote control, quick start guide and installation software. Complete product specifications can be found at: www.popcornhour.com.

Climate of Fear: Jim Risen v. the Obama administration - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com - 0 views
[Barring unforeseen events, I'm going to leave this post at the top of the page for today and tomorrow, as I think the events it examines, rather in detail and at length, are vitally important and merit much more attention than they've received]
The Obama DOJ's effort to force New York Times investigative journalist Jim Risen to testify in a whistleblower prosecution and reveal his source is really remarkable and revealing in several ways; it should be receiving much more attention than it is. On its own, the whistleblower prosecution and accompanying targeting of Risen are pernicious, but more importantly, it underscores the menacing attempt by the Obama administration -- as Risen yesterday pointed out -- to threaten and intimidate whistleblowers, journalists and activists who meaningfully challenge what the government does in secret.
The subpoena to Risen was originally issued but then abandoned by the Bush administration, and then revitalized by Obama lawyers. It is part of the prosecution of Jeffrey Sterling, a former CIA agent whom the DOJ accuses of leaking to Risen the story of a severely botched agency plot -- from 11 years ago -- to infiltrate Iran's nuclear program, a story Risen wrote about six years after the fact in his 2006 best-selling book, State of War. The DOJ wants to force Risen to testify under oath about whether Sterling was his source.
Peak Oil and a Changing Climate | The Nation - 0 views
Peak Oil is the point at which petroleum production reaches its greatest rate just before going into perpetual decline. In "Peak Oil and a Changing Climate," a new video series from The Nation and On The Earth productions, radio host Thom Hartmann explains that the world will reach peak oil within the next year if it hasn't already. As a nation, the United States reached peak oil in 1974, after which it became a net oil importer.
Bill McKibben, Noam Chomsky, Nicole Foss, Richard Heinberg and the other scientists, researchers and writers interviewed throughout "Peak Oil and a Changing Climate" describe the diminishing returns our world can expect as it deals with the consequences of peak oil even as it continues to pretend it doesn't exist. These experts predict substantially increased transportation costs, decreased industrial production, unemployment, hunger and social chaos as the supplies of the fuels on which we rely dwindle and eventually disappear.
Chomsky urges us to anticipate the official response to peak oil based on how corporations, news organizations and other institutions have responded to global warming: obfuscation, spin and denial. James Howard Kunstler says that we cannot survive peak oil unless we "come up with a consensus about reality that is consistent with the way things really are." This documentary series hopes to help build that consensus. Click here to watch the introductory video, and check back here for new videos each Wednesday.

You show me a film with Judd Apatow's name on the credits, and I'll show you a film that should be 15 minutes shorter.
However much you may enjoy the comedies he's directed (The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up) and produced (Superbad, Pineapple Express), they always feel like extended DVD edits with the deleted scenes slotted back in. That may not be much of a problem in Apatow's standard-issue male-bonding larks, but it's fatal in a ticking-clock farce where time is supposed to be of the essence. Exhibit A: Get Him to the Greek.
A sequel of sorts to 2008's Forgetting Sarah Marshall, it features Russell Brand as the Russell Brand-like rock star he played in that film. He's now a washed-up drug fiend, but his biggest fan, Jonah Hill, works for his record company, and believes he can revive Brand's career with an anniversary concert at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Hill's boss, Sean "Puff Daddy/P Diddy/etc" Combs, goes along with the idea, but for reasons which are as vague as the rest of the film's plotting, the deal isn't finalised until three days before the concert. Hill's job is to ensure that Brand gets from London to LA in one piece, even if he falls to pieces himself in the process.
It should be a hair-raising dash, and yet, because Get Him to the Greek is produced by Apatow, it's going nowhere fast. Brand's character may be a pain in Hill's rear (literally, on occasion), but he's not the human hurricane that would give the film a sense of jeopardy, and the delays in the journey have less to do with his not-very-wild, wild-man antics than with the rambling chats he has with his dad (Colm Meaney), his ex-wife (Rose Byrne), and anyone else he bumps into. Set pieces dawdle by in no particular order, and there's never any danger that Hill won't get him to the Greek on time.
Lazy as the film might be, there are funny moments scattered through it. Brand has his usual unique way with a florid turn of phrase, and he plumbs some hidden depths when he's baring the anger and loneliness beneath the dandy highwayman mask. Hill, though alarmingly egg-shaped, is an endearingly vulnerable fall guy. And Combs is a revelation, too, as he lends his scenes an urgency that's lacking in the others. These three characters all deserve a better film – preferably one that isn't an Apatow production.
Good Hair is Chris Rock's documentary about the black female hair industry in America, a gigantic enterprise built not just on its customers' self-loathing – the whole beauty business is guilty of that – but on their ethnic inferiority complexes. What does it say about black pride when so many African-American women, up to and including Michelle Obama, have their hair straightened with scalp-melting chemical "relaxers", and many more of them wear "weaves" of long, straight, primarily Asian off-cuts?
Rock doesn't get to the roots of the issue. Although his interviewees include Maya Angelou and the Rev Al Sharpton, he'd always rather crack a one-liner than ask a tough question. But he's a witty guide to a startling phenomenon. In one scene, some black students confess that they wouldn't employ anyone who kept her "natural" hair. In another, a hairdresser loses a styling contest because it's deemed unoriginal to cut a client's hair while hanging upside down from a trapeze.

The Collector (90 mins, 18)
More gore from the writers of Saw IV and Saw V, as various cyphers are gouged and gutted in a booby-trapped house. The villain is a motiveless non-entity, but if you enjoy watching people have their bodies rammed with sharp implements, then you'll get exactly what you paid for.
Villa Amalia (94 mins, 15)
Isabelle Huppert plays a concert pianist who decides to quit her career, sell her flat, and embark on a completely different life. The details of her Reggie Perrin-ish disappearing act are interesting, but there's not much else going on.
When in Rome (90 mins, PG)
When Kristen Bell attends her sister's wedding in Rome – a wacky olde-worlde place where mobile phones and the internet don't work – she pinches five coins from the fictitious "fountain of love" (why not a genuine Roman fountain?) thereby causing the five men who deposited the coins to fall under her spell. File alongside Letters To Juliet in a box marked, "Why Hollywood Rom-Coms Should Be Banned From Shooting in Italy".

Yesterday Justin Bieber tweeted a link to his 2011 Christmas duet with Mariah Carey of "All I Want For Christmas Is You", and it already has over 25,000 retweets.
Mariah's festive version of the tune is currently at second place in our poll for your favourite Christmas song (beaten only by The Pogues' classic "Fairytale of New York").
Carly Rae Jepsen (singer with the second most popular song on Spotify in 2012), has also declared:
"I want Mariah Carey to come to my house and sing All I Want For Christmas Is You," Carly told BBC Radio One. "It's the best Christmas song!"
Surprisingly, Mariah's single didn't get to the number one spot in 1994 (the year of its release) - apart from in Italy.

2008 Ford Fusion SE, 4 Cyl.
I've only owned this car for a short while but love everything about it! It feels great on the road with little noise.
Optional features on my SE include Sync (Highly recommended), Satellite Radio, Ambient Lighting and Rear Park Assist.
I'm 6' 2" and with the seat all the way back there is still plenty of room for rear passengers. I test drove both the 4
& 6 cyl and determined the 6 didn't have enough extra power to justify a hit on gas mileage. I drive 60-70% Hwy and
have averaged 28-29 MPG.

I just watched "The Ark in Space" last night on Netflix. It was one of the first ones I remember seeing as a kid and it was cool to watch it again. Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane, Harry Sullivan...ahhh, nostalgia. They also have "Pyramids of Mars" & "Tomb of the Cybermen," so I'll check one of those out next -- maybe the latter, since I haven't seen that before.
To go to the future. Besides it's a big universe, there's more to do then constantly visit the past of the same fucking planet all over again. God, they must have been even worse.
Actually, The Aztecs is at the very top of my favorite Hartnell stories, The Romans is quite funny. Marco Polo is well lauded, and often cited as one of the worst tragedies of missing Doctor Who stories
While I haven't actually watched it yet (as it just shipped a day or so ago), I'm eagerly anticipating getting "Remembrance of the Daleks" as I hear it's one of McCoy's best stories and the point where his era becomes good. Though for me that will probably mean it will become really great, because I've loved all of McCoy's serials up to this point.
Oh, which have you seen? Because I'd break down the McCoy stories a bit like this: Great: Fenric, GhostLight, Survival, Remembrance. OK: Happiness Patrol, Battlefield, Dragonfire, Greatest Show. Painful: Time and the Rani, Paradise Towers, Silver Nemesis, Delta and the Bannermen.
I'm viewing his serials in the order in which they were broadcast. So: Time and the Raini Paradise Towers Delta and the Bannerman Dragonfire I can find enjoyment in all of those ones, though Dragonfire is my favorite as Ace is my favorite companion and it was nice to see her introduction. I also really enjoy post-regeneration stories, so Raini worked for me in that regard. I thought the story was pretty intriguing as well. I will admit Towers was a bit on the silly side, but it kept my interest and was never boring. Bannderman is probably my least favorite of all the ones listed, and it could have probably used a little more work on the story. But to me, it wasn't horrible. I did see The Curse of Fenric about a year or so ago on Netflix and really enjoyed it a lot. At the time it was the only Seventh Doctor story available for streaming so I never followed it up.
i know a lot of people don't care for Silver Nemesis but i like it. i'm a big sucker for anything with the Cybermen though.
I just read the novelisation of that, it's a great serial and has a few Dalek firsts in it. It's one of my favourite McCoy stories, plus Ace starts to become womanly. I just listened to the Crusade which felt like it was trying to recapture what made Marco Polo great but didn't really manage it.
I just finished The Sea Devils. I thought it might be a dud after the first episode but it turned out pretty good. Jo was really quite capable in this one, taking out guards, freeing the Doctor, spotting the Master and turning into a man and riding a motorcycle. Though I don't think we were supposed to notice her becoming a man. Maybe it's the power of pants. We got the third Doctor doing Venusian Aikido, delivering some dry humor and reversing the polarity of the neutron flow. We get the Master all crazy-eyed and compelling everyone. What could be better? Lots of outdoor shots and varied locations help this one out. We have bases, subs, lairs, hovercrafts and more. We even get cars with no doors for some reason, must be a 70s/British thing... Lots of trippy early synthesizer music as well. At one point, I think the Doctor even attacked the Sea Devils with a nasty feedback loop (or something...). There's something about early electronics that has a unique aura about it, I love all the glowing and clicking and humming and what not of all the electronics the Doctor and Master are using. Could he even hack a transmitter with modern electronics? I suppose with the sonic he can do anything now but it's cool seeing the Doctor hook the door up to electrical current. Of course, the Doctor using the sonic to get through a minefield was cool (and got to make more crazy noises).
Battlefield, I like Ben Aaronivitch's work, especially his Rivers of London books. Some of the dialogue is great in this story plus the Brig is in it, I still don't like Banberra though.
Remembrance of the Daleks First time viewing here, and I enjoyed it a lot. Outside of The Five Doctors it's also my first time seeing Daleks in the original series, and I think they might even be more terrifying here then they are in the new series. I know this serial has ties to An Unearthly Child but I have yet to view that particular serial, or anything with the first Doctor for that matter. They do gloss over this a tad, but the Doctor committing mass genocide is a pretty dark and scary place to take the character. Granted it's probably glossed over because it was the Daleks, and he did manipulate Davros into doing it...
I like Rememberance quite a bit and I think it holds up nicely with new Who, it feels more similar in execution than most classic episodes.
I love this version of Seven, it's the one I remember from 'Curse of Fenric." He's always up to something and never completely honest with anyone. I love how he is able to manipulate everyone into doing exactly what he wants, with little trouble. I hope this version of the Doctor is carried through the next few serials, as I am watching them in order. So up next: The Happiness Patrol.

The Erie Islands service plaza on the Ohio Turnpike between the Sandusky and Fremont interchanges was evacuated as a precaution shortly before 7 p.m. yesterday because of a chemical spill, authorities said.
A few gallons of a flammable gas, methyl acetylene propadiene mixture, leaked from the back of a trailer that was transporting it, according to the Berea post of the Ohio Highway Patrol.
No one was hurt.
The Riley Township Fire Department and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency were investigating the spill.
