ABSOLUT Vodka presents "Lemon Drop", a short film starring Ali...
The Guardian reports that Steel Panthers posters promoting the "Balls Out" album are banned for being "overtly sexual". The ASA received four complaints about the poster which shows a barely dressed woman caressing herself while holding a pair of silver balls.
The record label Universal Island used the "we're mocking stuff from the 80s" defense and said that the ads were meant to "poke fun at the ridiculousness of the attitude to women, outfits and music in that era".
They also pointed out that the posters are meant to be "ludicrously over the top and not meant to undermine women". Cliff notes: "c'mon, we're only joking".
This ad, above, is the self-banned ad of the week from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board campaign - see the rest on facebook - that shows the dark side of what happens when you drink too much. You might end up in fights, hanging out with the "porcelain prince" all evening, have condoms break on you, cheat on your boyfriend or... get raped. From the image showing a women lying on what may be a bathroom floor the viewer will probably conclude that when you're unconscious and can't actually say no, rape is your fault. The copy on the campaign website even went so far to blame the victims friends. Now it's everyones fault. Except the rapists, of course.
Nando's are no strangers to joking with everyone and everything in their ad campaigns, but there's one thing they take seriously: threats to their own staff. A youth group loyal to Mr Mugabe has threatened Nado's staff after the Last Dictator standing aired, and Nando's has decided to pull the ad from airing reports BBC.
A statement from Nando's said: "We've noted with concern the political reaction emanating out of Zimbabwe, including perceived threats against Nando's Zimbabwe's management, staff and customers."
Joelapompe has found a fashion-with-guitars layout that looks almost traced. Not a traced as Nazi meat though.
This looks like a case of 'demo love' that can easily turn into copyright infringement, as the example shown there with Dexim copying the work of photographer Jamie Nelson. Digital layouts have a lot to do with the uptick of this sort of thing.
This cute little film reminding us of the power of choosing the right words is directed by Seth Gardner of redsnappa.com for Purplefeather.
Hey guys, when I say will be used in ads in 3... 2.... I expect you to get on it fast. It's been three months! Your timing is way off! Do I have to do everything myself? Sheesh. I bet you even took weekends.
Introducing 100 Years of Chevrolet.
Hold up! Duke Nukem forever ad has been banned from pre-11pm TV. Why? The ASA finds the game-animated pole-dancing strippers "too explicit" for prime time. What about the pixelated peeing? Pixelated peeing has got to be worse, no? I mean an animated game-character with biological functions is just sick. ;P What kind of warped mind thinks that sort of thing up?
Here's a cute pairing, is the Swedish rapping ad from "Wapnö Drängar", the fictional hip-hop crew of Wapno milk farm a rip-off of the UK advert from Yeo Valley showing off the mad cow rapping skills of the "Yeo Valley Boyz"?
Lets start with this one, it's a pro-bono ad created and shot by Florian Meinberg in 2009 who explains: "it was a spec with no real client. I just liked my idea so much that I just had to shoot it."
Remember the Amnesty posters that depicted torture in far off lands as if they were happening where the poster was? The visual trick used was the transparent meme that hit it big on Flickr earlier, which might have inspired the posters. Later similar ideas appeared Kids company was badlanded for being similar to Amnesty, in execution at least.
Couldn't help but notice that the Photolibrary.com calendar with all the various important photo award dates listed, is a tad similar to the recent Creative Calendar with all the important award dates listed.... At least in the base idea, list award deadlines on calendar. Not in execution, they're miles apart in style. Also, one is for a client while the other is self-promo for Leo Burnett, so they care about different award shows too.

The Genelec guide to setting up your studio monitors
Choosing great monitors is just the beginning - you need to know how to best place them, to enjoy all the benefits. Genelec - who manufactures some of the best monitors you'll ever find - created a very helpful guide about how to setup your monitors...so read on!
Click here for Genelec monitors at Dolphin Music.
1. Try and position your speakers in the centre of whichever wall they are placed against. This means that the sound will be reflected equally from the left and right walls of your room, which will help achieve better stereo imaging.
2. The speakers should be positioned at 2 points of an equidistant triangle, with the mix position being the third corner of the triangle. This places each speaker at an angle of 30° from the centre, which is generally accepted as the correct width for stereo listening. See diagram below.
3. Make sure that you angle both speakers towards your listening position.
4. Avoid placing your speakers between 1m and 2.2m from the wall that they are positioned against. This will reduce low frequency notches and will help to keep the frequency response as flat as possible. See diagram below.
5. When placing your speakers against a wall, the use of a speaker's rear-panel room response controls will help counteract the lift in LF response that the wall causes. All Genelec monitors feature these room response controls as standard. As a rule of thumb, when positioned against a wall you would apply -2dB of 'bass tilt' for a damped room, and -4dB for a live one.
6. Raise the speakers up in height to reduce reflections from desks or other objects between the speaker and the listening position. At its worse this can lead to an effect called comb filtering (which sounds a bit like phasing), but even when mild can create problems with localising parts of your mix.
7. Genelec 6000/8000 series speakers feature an adjustable rubber base called an 'Isopod'. This helps prevents transmission of vibrations from the speaker to the surface underneath, which reduces colouration of the sound. Genelec users should adjust the Isopod to aim the 'acoustic axis' of the speaker towards the listener's ear height. The acoustic axis is the point where the best response from the speaker is achieved, and on 2-way speakers is just below the top of the bass driver. For a PDF guide to the position of the acoustic axis on all Genelec monitors please click here.
8. Place your recording equipment as symmetrically as possible within the room for the best overall balance.
9. If you have a limited budget for room treatment (such as acoustic tiles or panels), prioritise the walls nearest to you as they will cause the strongest reflections. Sound travels and reflects in the same way as light, so to find the correct position for treatment on a side wall, sit at your normal mix position and get a friend to move a mirror along the wall. When you can see your loudspeaker in the mirror, the position of the mirror indicates the position on the wall at which you should apply your acoustic treatment.
10. When choosing an active monitor, try and purchase a model where the number of internal amplifiers matches the number of drivers within the monitor. You will then own a monitor where the amplifiers and drivers are individually matched to eachother, producing more accurate and efficient performance. For instance, a 'bi-amped 2-way monitor' means that the monitor has two individual amplifiers powering two individual drivers (these would normally be the LF driver or 'woofer' and the HF driver or 'tweeter').

What does Nora symbolize in A Doll's House?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Nora is symbolic of many things that have to do with gender roles in history. She is symbolic of a doll. Torvald has a pretty plaything that will perform for him-sing songs, flit about, and provide him amusement whenever he cares to play. Yet, when he tires of spending time with her, he puts her away-metaphorically. Torvald retreats into his study, where it is expected that his doll will not intrude until he wishes to play again.
Nora also symbolizes a caged bird-the "singing lark" that is treated as a beautiful and fragile pet. The cage she is kept in is her home and role as wife and mother, and it is confined to very well defined gender expectations that do not allow her to roam free and explore boundaries.

Drivers everywhere should take precautions to keep car thieves at bay, but if you call the West Coast home -- especially California -- you might consider paying extra attention to your precious set of wheels.
Places in the Golden State are red-hot for vehicle thefts, claiming nine of the top 10 rankings in a new list of "hot spots" for auto thieves. The ranking, based on 2013 data, is from an annual study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau, or NICB. In last year's report, eight of the top 10 places for vehicle thefts belonged to California, and the state held seven out of the top 10 the year before.
The NICB examines car theft data in every U.S. metropolitan statistical area, which are comprised of cities and their surrounding counties.
The 10 metro areas with the highest auto theft rates are:
San Francisco area ranked fourth.
- Bakersfield, California
- Fresno, California
- Modesto, California
- San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, California
- Stockton-Lodi, California
- Redding, California
- Spokane-Spokane Valley, Washington
- Vallejo-Fairfield, California
- San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, California
- Yuba City, California
The report also shows that vehicle thefts nationwide were on the decline in 2013 after increasing slightly the previous year.
To stave off thieves, the NICB recommends implementing four "layers of protection," which include:
- Common sense -- meaning not leaving your doors unlocked or keys in the ignition.
- A warning device, such as an audible alarm or brake locks.
- An immobilizing device, such as a kill switch.
- A tracking device that allows you to pinpoint your car's location if it's stolen.
California also attracted the most motorcycle thefts last year. Find out where else thieves prey on bikes.

As the White House proclaims a recovery is occurring, and the stock market has a head of steam, millions of Americans and their dependents are being left out of the recovery, according to a set of economic indicators.
Perhaps the most worrying yet least reported aspect of the so-called US recovery involves the national labor picture. Although the official US unemployment rate is 6.7 percent, this figure obscures the reality, according to an influential Wall Street adviser.
In a leaked memo to clients, David John Marotta calculates the actual unemployment rate of Americans out of work at an astronomic 37.2 percent, as opposed to the 6.7 percent claimed by the Federal Reserve.
"The unemployment rate only describes people who are currently working or looking for work," he said.
"Unemployment in its truest definition, meaning the portion of people who do not have any job, is 37.2 percent. This number obviously includes some people who are not or never plan to seek employment. But it does describe how many people are not able to, do not want to or cannot find a way to work," he and colleague Megan Russell reveal in their client report, which was leaked to the Washington Examiner.
Contrary to expectations, a drop in the unemployment rate, Marotta argues, is presently a sign that the unemployed are simply dropping out of the job market.
The "officially-reported unemployment numbers decrease when enough time passes to discourage the unemployed from looking for work," said Marotta andRussel. "A decrease is not necessarily beneficial; an increase is clearly detrimental."
The authors then take aim at the so-called Misery Index, which provides something of a pulse rate of American prosperity, based on unemployment and inflation. The Wall Street adviser said the Index, which he maintains is actually over 14, as opposed to the 8 advertised by Washington, fails to address how the US economy is being hugely subsidized by various schemes, including monthly bond purchases by the Federal Reserve.
"Today, the Misery Index would be 7.54 using official numbers," the two analysts wrote. However, taking into consideration the full unemployment picture, including workers who have given up the job search, which is 10.2 percent, together with the historical method of calculating inflation, which is now 4.5 percent, 'the current misery index is closer to 14.7."
Wall Street adviser: Actual unemployment is 37.2%, 'misery index' worst in 40 years
Don't believe the happy talk coming out of the White House, Federal Reserve and Treasury Department when it comes to the real unemployment rate and the true "Misery Index." Because, according to an influential Wall Street advisor, the figures are a fraud.
In a memo to clients provided to Secrets, David John Marotta calculates the actual unemployment rate of those not working at a sky-high 37.2 percent, not the 6.7 percent advertised by the Fed, and the Misery Index at over 14, not the 8 claimed by the government.
Marotta, who recently advised those worried about an imploding economy to get a gun, said that the government isn't being honest in how it calculates those out of the workforce or inflation, the two numbers used to get the Misery Index figure.
"The unemployment rate only describes people who are currently working or looking for work," he said. That leaves out a ton more.
"Unemployment in its truest definition, meaning the portion of people who do not have any job, is 37.2 percent. This number obviously includes some people who are not or never plan to seek employment.

@benwoodLocale: flatlands of MO
Does anyone know what salomon's acti-therm fabric is comparable to?
I'm thinking its kinda like a powerstretch, very soft on inside and smooth on the outside.
Just curious and figure someone would know.
@benjitaLocale: Annandale, VA
Ditto. Trying to determine CLO.
@islandizedLocale: Newfoundland
I have a Salomon Acti-therm running jersey, it's most like a slightly thinner, but much stretchier Polartec Windpro, with a less 'shiny' but very dense face. Very soft and fleecy inside, good sweat wicking and dry feel. The high stretch, wind resistance, and mesh armpits (awesome feature!) make it a fantastic cold weather layer. (I also love the low profile pockets placed horizontally on the front and back hems of running jerseys, with their tiny hidden seam zippers, great in winter for the stuff you need to keep warm.)
Clo-value, I wish I could help you. I can only say it's the warmest base layer in my closet by far, and I can easily wear this with no other layers (while active) well below freezing. The wind resistance makes a huge difference. I can't imagine wearing it above +5 C.
@benjitaLocale: Annandale, VA
I think the Saloman may be similar to the Ragged Mountan Stretch jacket referenced in the "The best clothing combinations for backpacking or hiking?" thread. CLO is .957.
@islandizedLocale: Newfoundland
I think the ActiTherm might have a slicker surface, but otherwise seems very like the Powerstretch. ActiTherm may also be somewhat denser, and therefore thinner for its warmth. I think. Maybe. Hope somebody who owns both can confirm, this impression comes from studying Polartec's website. Salomon's site isn't too helpful, is it?

CARACAS, April 4 (Xinhua) -- Venezuelan authorities on Friday formally charged jailed right-wing opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez with inciting violence, vandalism and conspiracy for his involvement in violent protests that have left 39 people dead since early February.
"He has been formally charged and he will have his first preliminary hearing at a later date, before the trial takes place, but setting the date is now up to the corresponding judge," Attorney General Luisa Ortega told a press conference.
As stipulated by law, Lopez was charged within a period of 45 days after he came out of hiding and turned himself in to authorities on Feb. 18, Ortega said.
In the past week, 67 people have been formally charged for various crimes relating to the protests, and five of those arrested have been discharged, said Ortega.
Among the fatal victims of the clashes are eight police or military personnel, while 608 people have been injured, she added.
"Our citizens' human rights have been violated all over the country, because millions of Venezuelans haven't been able to get to work, take their kids to school or go to a hospital, because small groups have prevented their freedom of movement," said Ortega.
Lopez, along with former congresswoman Maria Machado and members of his extremist Popular Will party, are the architects of a plan known here as "The Exit", which calls for the overthrow of the democratically-elected government of Nicolas Maduro.
On Feb. 12, Lopez led an anti-government march that turned violent. Clashes between protesters and security officers had left three dead and more than 50 injured.
The march triggered a wave of violent protests in the capital Caracas and other cities, claiming the lives of 39 people and causing some 10 billion dollars in damage to public buildings and other venues.

Between the Tampa Bay and the Washington game, I think I lost about 5 years of my life.
Which game do you rate as more exciting.
The Tampa game was like two boxers taking turns putting the other on the mat. That game was insane with all the deep passes n on numerous OMGs thinking the game was over.
This game with all the hype, which it lived up to and the anticipation of RG in MetLife was tremendous. Eli struggling, RG eluding and two turn of emotion plays to end the game.
If I had to watch one of the two, I would watch the TB game.
How about you?

Our mail system uses a load balancer that may, when the server is under heavy load, say that there are no new messages when there are. When the load returns to normal, the messages will be available.
Occasionally users may see duplicate (or more) of the same email in their mailbox. This usually only happens during periods of high load on the POP server, and when the customer has the "Leave Mail on the Server" option selected in their client configuration. If you want to leave mail on the server, you should use IMAP, as this is the whole purpose of that protocol.
Occasionally messages may be delivered to a mailbox with an invalid date, in which case, the mail system tags them with a date of January 1st, 1970 or similar. If this happens, Outlook (in particular) will not download the messages from the server. Using an IMAP client usually allows access to these messages, which can then be deleted.
One of the most common issues that occur with mailboxes are caused by incorrect server details entered into email clients. The below options will show you how to update your server settings for some of the most popular email clients.
This article will assist you with Apple Mail, Outlook 2013, Mozilla Thunderbird and Android.
Open the Preferences window and select the Accounts tab, then select the account you wish to to edit the settings for from the panel on the left hand side of the window. Here you will be able to view the account type you have set up. In the below example, we are using an IMAP account.
Using the tabs at the top of the window, select the Advanced page. Now ensure that the Automatically detect and maintain account settings option is not enabled.
Save your changes by selecting another account or closing the account preferences box, and selecting Save when prompted.
You can now go back into the account settings and make changes to the mailbox. Click on the Advanced settings tab and set the SSL port to 993 and set the authentication as Password.
Next you will need to update your SMTP port and out going server information. From the Accounts page, click on the SMTP drop down at the bottom of the list, and then select edit SMTP server list.
This will take you to your SMTP information. Set the port to 465 and the authentication to password, and click the OK button to confirm your changes.
Open the Account setting menu from the File menu, and then select the Email Address tab and click on the change button.
Here you should check that your incoming mail server matches the account type; so if you have an IMAP account type, your mail server should be imap.123-reg.co.uk. A POP account should have pop.123-reg.co.uk.
Next, access your Outgoing Server settings by clicking on More Settings and then selecting Outgoing server. Ensure that the option entitled My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication is ticked, and that it uses the same settings as your incoming server.
Select the Advanced tab and ensure your ports match the below:
Open the Account setting menu from the Thunderbird menu, and then select the Server Settings tab for the email address you wish to edit. Here you will see you current server settings.
Ensure that the account type matches the server settings; so a POP account will have the server pop.123-reg.co.uk, and an IMAP account will have imap.123-reg.co.uk.
SSL/TLS will be your option for the Connection security, with Normal Password set as the Authentication method. Your port should be set to 993.
Next, select Outgoing Server (SMTP) from the menu on the left hand side of the page. Your SMTP server details should be:
To make changes, click on the Edit button.
Make the required changes and then click the OK button. Your changes will now be saved and everything shall resync.
Open your settings menu, and select accounts. You will see you email and email type (POP or IMAP)
Access the Incoming settings for the email address and ensure that the incoming server address matches the below. Ensure that you use the type that matches your type from step 1.
Now take a step back and click on the Outgoing server settings. Your details should be:
Once you have entered these details, save and retest.
First check the type of account you have set up. Click Settings, and then Mail, Contacts and Calendars, and then select the account.
Make sure the incoming mail server matches the type of account (the account type will be listed above the Name field).
For Pop accounts, your hostname will be pop.123-reg.co.uk, and for imap accounts it will read imap.123-reg.co.uk.
If these differ, change the mail server and then retest.
Next, click on the SMTP server and ensure that your details are set to:
Check your incoming port numbers by accessing your advanced settings, your incoming port number should be set to 993.
This answer will explain what messages similar to 'ATLAS_RBL [...] is listed at pbl.spamhaus.org' means, and how to stop them being sent.
Occasionally, someone who has sent you an email may receive a message saying that a mail they sent you hasn't been delivered. The email they sent has been blocked, and the full message is:

Only the sender will receive the message. You will not receive notification that an email to you has been blocked and you will be able to send and receive other messages as normal.
The message is part of our effort to block spam sent to email addresses hosted on 123-reg.
We check the IP address of the server each email has been sent from against several lists of addresses, one of which is maintained by The Spamhaus Project. If the IP address is on any of these lists then we block the email.
Although this stops lots of spam getting through, it does mean legitimate messages occasionally get blocked too. If this is happening to someone trying to send you email, it's easy for them to stop it occurring in the future.
The person who sent you the email should forward the message they received to the address shown in it. We'll put the relevant IP address onto our list of allowed addresses, so future mails from that person come through to your inbox.
If the message mentions spamhaus.org, they can also enter the IP address in the message (e.g. 184.108.40.206) into the Lookup IP box on The Spamhaus Project". This will remove the IP address from the Spamhaus list and should ensure that other email providers using the list stop blocking messages from that person.
This FAQ will help you to create more space in your mailbox.
The below instructions will explain what it means when you exceed your mailbox quota, and the steps you can take to rectify the issue.
What does being over quota mean? Being over quota means you have exceeded your mailbox's size limits. All of the information in your mailbox is stored on a server, and each mailbox has a specified amount of space on the server. Once you've filled up the available space, you will not be able to receive any more email, or add any further information to your mailbox until you have the space to do so.
You can check your mailbox quota size by simply checking the bottom left hand corner of the 123-reg Webmail client. Here you will see your email quota accompanied by a bar chart showing how much you have used. In the below example, we have used 92854 megabytes of our 1 gigabyte of storage space.
There are a few options available for creating extra space in your mailbox which are outlined below.
Deleting your email from your inbox doesn't mean its gone for ever; it just means that its been moved to the trash folder.
You can empty your trash folder to remove the email from your server completely, creating more space for you to receive emails.
To avoid having to manually remove the trash you can set your webmail client to automatically permanently delete anything you send to the trash folder. Simply access the options menu, and then select the preferences section of the email options; then select Yes for the Permanently remove deleted emails? setting.
One way of making space in your mailbox is to create a backup of your old emails, allowing you to move them to a local drive and delete them from the server, without losing them. This allows you to save your email directly from your webmail client to your hard drive.
Simply select all of the email you would like to save, and then click the Save button from the folder tool bar. This will open up your computer's file manager, allowing you to select the destination folder and rename the file you are saving.
Once you have saved your emails, you can delete them from your account.
As with your deleted messages, your sent messages can hang around on the mail server, hanging on to valuable space that you could be using for more important matters. As before, when you delete from your Sent message folder, make sure you also empty your trash!
Simply access your sent items folder by clicking on the Sent Objects folder from the left hand column, and then use the delete button from the tool bar at the top of the page.
Still need more space? If you've done all of the steps above, and you still need more space, why not upgrade your Personal mailbox to a Business mailbox for five times the storage space!

The People's Bank of China injected 77 billion yuan into the financial system on Tuesday morning as investors continue to wait for the central bank to ease monetary policy.
The PBoC has embraced "reverse repos" as a liquidity management tool rather than cutting interest rates or the bank reserve requirement ratio (RRR) as many economists had been expected for more than a month.
Beijing has been wary of cutting the RRR and adding more stimulus to the economy amid a rebound in property prices and concerns renewed food price pressures could feed into higher inflation.
China's yearly rate of inflation rose to 2 per cent in August, underpinned by a rise in food inflation to 3.4 per cent from 2.4 per cent in July. Vegetable prices recorded a month on month rise of 14 per cent.
While the PBoC has increased its use of reverse repos, they are only a short-term measure to boost liquidity. More reverse repos need to be used to cover expiring reverse repos.
The problem was highlighted last week as the PBoC drained 52 billion yuan from the financial system as more reverse repos expired than new reverse repos were initiated.

Butch, Femme, Style, and Developing a Sense of Self
I remember climbing up the fence to scramble onto the roof, sometimes holding the hem of my skirt between my teeth while I climbed helped to keep it out of the way.

My younger brother had a pair of combat boots that I would wear sometimes, just around the house or yard, they were awesome.

This book tells the story about a lesbian couple through their lifespan as an elementary school children's book. The story picks up with a lesbian couple adopting three kids and ends with those kids grown and eventually burying their moms after they got old and died. I couldn't help but get teary eyed as I read the book to my five year old daughter. I found the story so beautiful. I saw a glimpse of me and my wife growing old together and how after raising our own four kids, we'd someday probably … [Read more...]

I hoped that the poor woman across from us hadn't heard my 4 year olds observation.But it didn't feel right. I sat there and felt like I had just taught my daughter to be ashamed of fatness.

Best KOA I have ever stayed in. Lots of shade & plenty of amenities. Right in SLC with a Trax light rail stop right across the street! You will not be sorry you used this KOA to camp in. You will lack for nothing......except maybe a river & a forest to wander in. Be sure to drive Big Cottonwood & Little Cottonwood canyon roads!!
Date of Stay: July, 2013
Very nice park. Well maintained. Little town of Ridgeway was great with good restaurants. Use town hall for WI-FI. It is free (no password needed) and the park next to it is great for picnics and relaxing. Laundry in town is a good one.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
RV park was very nice and well kept up. Plenty to do here and great roads to ride. Lots of good restaurants and sights. Fishing was good and river trips were fun. During the busy season it is best to make reservations early.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
Very nice campground. Quiet, with good views of the river. Had only 2 baths w/ showers but they were neat and clean. Laundry was clean, only 2 machines w/ dryers. Not many choices for restaurants since the town is so small (150 pop.) A good RV park to just relax in and enjoy the views. Good fishing!
Date of Stay: June, 2013
This is the way RV parks should be run! The owners were great and would do all they could to help you out. The park was neat, clean and well taken care of with good views and great access to the town, restaurants, good driving roads and sights to see. I really liked this RV park and wish there were a lot more like it!!

This volume evolved from a series of discussions with Wallace Stegner during his two-month residency at Dartmouth College in the summer of 1980. Stegner was among the first students in the U.S. to receive a master's degree in creative writing; he also founded and directed for 25 years Stanford University's creative writing program. Here he criticizes instructors who use their classrooms to create a coterie of copiers, as well as those indulgent professors who rhapsodize about their students' work without warrant.

HARRISBURG — More than 250 of Pennsylvania's roughly 9,000 polling places were still without power Friday morning, creating a challenge for election officials as Election Day approaches.
Gov. Tom Corbett on Tuesday said he was ordering the Public Utility Commission to tell power companies that polling places should be given priority for restorations.
Power companies in eastern Pennsylvania, where most of the outages remain, say they expect power to be restored by Monday at the latest.
Superstorm Sandy that struck Pennsylvania and the rest of the Northeast earlier this week presented a political challenge to candidates and a practical challenge to the state officials responsible for conducting next week's election.
But the timing of the storm was fortuitous in one sense — at least it arrived a full week before the election.
Had Sandy come ashore a week later, chaos could have reigned on Election Day, as the storm left wide swaths of the state without electricity.
Ron Ruman, spokesman for the Department of State, said counties, which run the elections, must have contingency plans that including moving polling places.
"As far as a statewide situation, it's not something that we've ever encountered," he said. "It's something that we've looked at on a case-by-case basis and have dealt with the issues as they have arisen, as we're doing now."
Electronic voting machines are equipped with backup battery in the event of a power outage, but they generally last for only two hours. If a polling place is still without power Tuesday, generators could be used or the machines could be used in a rotation to make sure at least one is available all day.
But if a statewide disaster kept people from getting to the polls, it is unclear if the governor has the unilateral authority to postpone elections in the event of a natural disaster, because federal law controls election dates, said Ruman.
The state may have some authority to change state-level elections, like the attorney general and state legislative races, but only Congress can alter the date of the presidential election, said Terry Madonna, a professor of political science at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster.
"I think there would be a myriad of court challenges," he said.
The Legislature should form a bipartisan committee to develop contingency plans in the event of a natural disaster occurring on or near future Election Days, said state Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Philadelphia, chairman of the House Democratic Campaign Committee.
But Chris Borick, a political science professor at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, said creating a contingency plan or moving the election date with little notice would be "easier said than done."
He said the state would have no choice but to postpone the election to avoid disenfranchising voters, if Sandy had come a week later.
"It's not a question of convenience; it's a matter of impossibility," when it comes to voters trying to get to the polls in the height of a major storm, he said.
This is not the first time a major storm that has nearly wrecked havoc on elections in Pennsylvania.
Last year, a surprisingly early winter storm dumped up to 16 inches of snow in parts of the state and left 500,000 without power on Oct. 30, only eight days before voters went to the polls.
And the state is no stranger to violent nor'easters in the days surrounding elections, like the so-called "perfect storm" of 1991 that struck the coast on Halloween night.
Both years, only municipal elections took place.

Orgeron lured some great players to Oxford during his three-year stint (2005-07) as head man at Ole Miss. He didn't stick around long enough to enjoy the fruits of his labors but that doesn't detract from what he accomplished as a stockpiler of talent.
One of Orgeron's first Rebel signees, Michael Oher, recently was taken by the Baltimore Ravens with pick 23 in Round 1 of the 2009 NFL Draft. And, if one football analyst is correct, two more of Orgeron's Rebel recruits will go among the first eight picks in the 2010 draft.
The lead story on cbssportsline.com's NFL Draft page, penned by senior writer Pete Prisco and tagged "Early Warning," projects that a quarterback will be taken No. 1 again in the 2010 draft. But it won't be Oklahoma's Sam Bradford, Florida's Tim Tebow or Texas' Colt McCoy.
Prisco believes that the first player picked next April will be Jevan Snead, a player Orgeron convinced to transfer to Oxford when Snead got tired of playing behind McCoy in Austin two years ago.
After sitting out the 2007 season as a transfer, Snead starred for first-year Rebel coach Houston Nutt in '08, passing for 2,762 yards (16 more than Tebow) with a 2-1 ratio of touchdowns (26) to interceptions (13). Though only a sophomore, Snead's 145.5 passer-efficiency rating ranked third among SEC quarterbacks behind Tebow (172.4) and Georgia's Matt Stafford (153.5), the first overall pick in last weekend's NFL Draft.
Here's what Prisco has to say about Snead:
1. Jevan Snead, QB, Mississippi (JR): He's a strong-armed junior who has the same type of arm that Stafford has. He will be "The Man" next year. You wait and see.
Prisco projects that another Orgeron recruit, defensive end Greg Hardy, will be the eighth player picked in the 2010 NFL Draft. Hardy, originally from Millington, Tenn., was projected as a first-round pick for the 2009 draft until he suffered through an injury-plagued junior season in 2008.
Here's what Prisco has to say about Hardy:
8. Greg Hardy, DE, Mississippi: He was really dominant as a sophomore, but tailed off last season. Even so, he has great pass-rush skills and good size at 6-4, 260 pounds.
For what it's worth, junior safety Eric Berry of Tennessee is No. 7 on Prisco's list of top prospects for the 2010 NFL Draft.
Here is Prisco's assessment of Berry:
7. Eric Berry, S, Tennessee (JR): He's a rangy safety who also tackles well. He has great speed for a safety, which is why he will be a wanted commodity.

The US commercial aircraft industry's stocktaking of its long-term competitiveness comes at a time of revived interest in strengthening the nation's industrial sector. Critical to achieving this is building a coordinated front among the private sector, educational institutions and government to re-tool an industrial workforce with the skills and technologies to compete and innovate globally. The need for such collaboration becomes more urgent as the US commercial aircraft industry faces competition from countries with ambitious and aggressive industrial policies already swiftly afoot.
Looming questions:
This paper explores the advancements and policies needed to help the US commercial aircraft industry thrive as it wades into this era of mounting competition and high stakes.

Rotting floor around toilet flange
As part of a project, i took the toilet off in order to paint behind it.
What I noticed was there was rust on the bolts and it appears the wax ring may have leaked some. I pulled the flooring up to find the luan flooring was damp. I ripped one section of the luan up and noticed the plywood subfloor was also wet.
I've checked and the flooring is not soft. I'm not sure if i should cut it out and replace it, or spray with bleach and let it dry. I'm somewhat handy, but have never replaced subflooring before, and would like to avoid it unless it is really necessary.
I've attached photos. Can someone take a look and see if it needs to be replaced?
If the sub floor is still solid--wipe with bleach and let it dry----add new 1/4 inch underlayment and reinstall the sheet goods.
That looks like OSB (flake board) if you ever tile that room you will want to add another layer of 1/2" b/c plywood on top.---Mike---
As oh'mike says wipe it down and leave it set for a day or so until it completely dries out. At that point you can check to see if it has any soft spots in it. Did you take up all the flooring?, if so then add the 1/4" plywood and put the floor back down. If you didn't take all the floor up then you have to decide if it is soft or is ok to put the floor back down. Its not that big of a job to cut out the section in question between a couple of joists and put a new piece of sub floor in.

As the usual investors in public companies dry up along with the market, now's the time for Pipes to come into their own.
Private investments in public equity (Pipes) are being mooted for private equity sponsors to create deal-flow and for public companies to obtain new sources of funding while traditional routes are constrained by market conditions.
With a Pipe, a private investor takes a minority stake in a publicly listed company, usually receiving some specific governance rights in relation to the target. The stake can be any size (although effectively limited to 29.9 per cent in the UK under the Takeover Code), but is typically 5 to 20 per cent.
For the target, having a committed long-term investor with a large stake may deter corporate raiders, and it also gains quick access to equity funding. The sponsor gains a seat on the board in a quick and certain deal.
Pipes have long been a feature of the US market but have never really taken off in Europe. The principal reason is that most European legal systems provide for statutory pre-emption rights on new equity issues, giving existing investors a right of first refusal on new fundraisings. Investor bodies have jealously protected these rights, with only small new cash issues exempted, and having to offer new equity to existing shareholders before making it available to sponsors has rendered such transactions unappealing for private equity investors.
Recently, however, the equity financing landscape has changed, and for two main reasons.
First, many listed companies are finding that the normally eager corporate debt markets are closed to them at any sensible price. Second, the considerable number of recent 'vanilla' equity issues have left institutional shareholders with empty coffers so that underwriting such issues has become difficult and expensive.
These factors have been coupled with some current trends in the private equity industry that make investments in Pipes more attractive. In particular, there is a lack of new deal opportunities, a desire to invest at or near the perceived bottom of the valuation curve and a lack of available leverage. A Pipe can also give the sponsor the ability to invest in listed companies that are more highly and cheaply geared than would be possible on a new private deal).
However, there are some downsides for sponsors in doing a Pipe. The limited partners who finance private equity may ask whether, as a minority in the target, the sponsor is really able to add value to the target on behalf of investors. This has led to some innovative proposals from sponsors, including, for example, using a Pipe to fund a transformational merger deal for the target. The sponsors are also sometimes restricted under their fund documents from making minority investments, although more recent funds mostly explicitly permit Pipes.
There are three key issues at the forefront of any Pipe negotiation. First, the type of securities offered. They will usually be ordinary shares or preferred shares (or warrants over them) but the deal might also be structured as convertible shares or loan stock. This is really a value question – where does the new security stand in the ranking for dividends and on a winding up? – and the outcome will be dependent on who has the negotiating leverage. Second, what rights does the private equity investor get to board representation?, and third, what other rights are available to the sponsor? These might include information rights, restrictions on sales or purchases, and conflict of interest rules.
Recent deals
The highest profile recent Pipe was the attempted TPG Capital investment in ordinary shares in Bradford & Bingley. That deal, at the height of the financial crisis, was criticised for avoiding pre-emption rights. The most controversial clause in favour of TPG was a right for it to maintain its stake if further equity issues were needed, and thus avoid the type of dilution the institutions were themselves suffering.
Other recent examples of Pipes have produced a compromise between the pre-emption requirements of institutional shareholders and the requirements of the new investor to maintain its investment even if existing shareholders wish to participate.
In some cases these have included a firm placing (not subject to pre-emption) to the investor of a sizeable amount of the issue at a discount to the market price. Two recent examples were a firm placing of ordinary shares at 9 per cent discount coupled with an open offer to other shareholders by Premier Foods; and Raven Russia, in which a financial investor (an existing shareholder) took 12 per cent preference shares and warrants – there was no associated pre-emptive offer but the broker would 'assess demand' for additional shares.
It remains to be seen how the tensions between institutional investors' desire for pre-emption rights and the need to help companies in difficult markets resolve themselves. A variety of solutions will be seen in practice but there will undoubtedly be opportunities for private equity investors to participate. Whether they do so will depend on the view they take on investing in public companies whose usual supporters, equity or debt, are no longer so enthused.
