Keywords: House
A total renovation on a beautiful historic home and carriage house that sat empty for years. With months of work and lots of love the carriage house has become a nice little get away.
We are happy to help with recommendations on things to see, places to eat, and fun things to do. We have had nothing but positive feedback on the comfort and location of our cottage. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful stay we had down in Charleston in early March. The bottle of wine was a perfect touch as we entered the cottage. Thank you so much for that. Your place is perfect for relaxing at night after busy days of sightseeing in your beautiful city. The accomodations were perfect for Jeff and I along with my mom. We certainly enjoyed many of your suggestions for restaurants, sites to see and just places to walk. Your friendliness made us right at home. Thank you again for your hospitality.
p.s. we've told our friends and family about this wonderful experience!
What an amazing weekend. Our friends from Clearwater met us in Charleston. We live in Asheville, so it was a nice somewhat in-between spot, plus we were all celebrating our 30th anniversaries. The location was perfect and walking distance to everything...sites, restaurants, Saturday morning market, etc. The cottage was so clean and a great size for two couples. It was nice having the living area and kitchen for morning breakfast and socializing at night. It had all the kitchen amenities anyone could need and also had bikes available. We will definitely come again! Kira was wonderful and gave us recommendations for restaurants and sites to see. We've been renting homes from VRBO for about 10 years and this is one of the best homes we've rented yet!
This was the first time my wife and I had used Home Away vacations rentals and my wife and I were very impressed. The carriage house was clean and cozy as advertised. All attractions in downtown Charleston are a short walk away while those off the peninsula are a short ride away. Kira and Dewey are wonderful hosts!
This cottage was probably the best VRBO we have ever rented. The location was perfect . The cottage was immaculate ....cozy and just right in every way. We were able to walk almost everywhere..(..and we did!)...it was on a great residential street with a park across the street...... and the fenced in yard was great for our dog! If you want to visit Charlston and feel like a local ...this place is perfect!
We were looking for a place that would be a change of scenery to work and play. We were so fortunate to find this property. Everything is perfectly done with personal touches you can't find in any hotel. The location is terrific, with parks and wide sidewalks for lazy strolls throughout the day. Upper King is a block away - all shops and restaurants within reach. The owners are gracious and welcoming and are available for any needs that come up. We wish we could have stayed longer! We are looking to book our next vacation.
so close to everything. Owner came and met us asked if we needed anything. Place was jus like it looked in the photos. One-half blocks to free trolley which took you up King. Took Gray Line bus tour of the city and well worth it. If you are looking for a place to stay close to everything, book this one!
Just leaving this cottage after 4 terrific weeks. We loved our time in charleston - terrific small city - and this was a wonderful home to return to everyday. We ate out - lots of terrific restaurants close by. We ate in - well equipped and pleasant kitchen. The king size bed was very comfortable with tempurpedic mattress - now I want one at home! There were just the 2 of us with our dog and the fenced in garden was a real asset. We had guests several times and there's ample room, with the guest room having its own bath. The owners are lovely people - pleasant and accommodating. And to top it all - there's private parking in a gated driveway. All in all, this is a terrific place, and we'll be back!

I have a P9, which is very similar to and actually slightly lighter than your CW9.
The P9 has a light recoil.
Nothing similar to what you describe, and I can not imagine what would cause yours to have excess recoil.
Barrel issues?
Wrong springs?
I finally took my CW9 to the range today. the gun has a massive recoil pulse making me miss big time, my shots seem to hit low. Could something be wrong w/my gun? other than that there were no functional issues with the gun. I also took a Taurus PT111 pro and I can hit fairly well & consistently with it, both are 9mm. What do you guys think? is it the gun or me?

I was going to reply to this on the other forum but it seems to have been covered there pretty thoughoughly. The CW9 in my experiance is not a recoil monster. It is pretty tame compared to other guns its size and even to other larger ones. Be sure all your trchnique is correct. stanse, grip trigger control ect. Trigger control and grip are the key here in my opinion. Most missing is due to poor trigger control and improper grip technique.
It is very hard to say for sure but I would practice pulling the Kahr trigger. it is long and sometimes if you have your finger improperly on the trigger you have to readjust when you are shooting which will cause your grip to loosen and the gun to move and the recoil to be more felt.
Without seeing you shoot I can not say, good luck the CW9 is a great gun and normally very accurate
People aren't missing BECAUSE of the recoil... they're missing because they are ANTICIPATING the recoil. By the time the shooter feels the recoil, the bullet is already heading on it's merry way to where it was pointed when the hammer falls. Not even Angelina Jolie can make a bullet go other than where it was pointed at ignition.
Many times, people will think a gun is inaccurate or something is wrong because they don't realize the root cause of the problem... the shooter.
Jerking the trigger, pushing the gun in anticipation, shooting too fast for their skill level and so on. I'd recommend some dry fire drills and a competent shooting buddy to help diagnose where the real problem lies.
Hmmm... "Massive recoil pulse"...
What ammunition are you using? Military surplus? Cheap reloads from the local range or gun shop? High-quality commercial rounds? What weight bullet, at what velocity?
(Could someone have sold you inappropriate ammunition?)
Another way to tell whether it's you or the gun: Have the rangemaster, or some other very experienced pistol shooter, shoot a magazine-full of your normal ammunition, and see what happens.
Not sure what to think about your recoil concern. To me the CW9 seems to have a very light recoil. However, when I first got the pistol I was shooting low left a lot, especially on "draw and fire" drills. Took me a couple of hundred rounds to realize I needed to change my grip to adapt to the combination of narrow grip and double action trigger. Once I lowered my grip slightly I was POA. If you've been shooting primarily single actions try checking your grip.
Well, I have two CW9s (one for me, one for wife) and would hardly describe the recoil as "Monster"---its just a smaller 9mm (not the smallest)---my wife shoots (and hits) with hers all the time---and she is not a real gun person. I believe you may need some shooting instruction---you just need to learn how to properly hold the pistol and avoid flinching. Good luck.

Australians Ashleigh Barty and Casey Dellacqua have reached their second grand slam women's doubles final with a straight-sets win in the semi-finals at Wimbledon.
The 13th seeds beat the seventh-seeded duo of German Anna-Lena Groenefeld and Czech Kveta Peschke 7-6 (8-6) 6-2 on Friday.
Barty and Dellacqua will attempt to win their first grand slam doubles title after losing the final at the Australian Open in January.
They are also aiming to become the first all-Australian women's duo to win the Wimbledon title since Wendy Turnbull and Kerry Melville Reid in 1978.
Barty and Dellacqua entered the tournament in strong form, winning the WTA doubles title at Birmingham earlier this month.
They are the first all-Australian team to reach the Wimbledon women's doubles final since Samantha Stosur and Rennae Stubbs finished runners-up in 2009.
Barty and Dellacqua, who both failed to qualify for the singles draw, will face either eighth seeds Su-Wei Hsieh and Shuai Peng or Shuko Aoyama and Chanelle Scheepers in the final.

France international Malouda, 32, last played for Chelsea in their 2012 Champions League final victory over Bayern Munich, but has since been frozen out of the first-team picture and so saw out the remaining season of his £80,000-a-week contract training with the under-21s.
Former club Lyon, who sold him to Chelsea for £13million in 2007, looks the most likely destination.
Defender Gallas leaves White Hart Lane on a free transfer after three seasons since joining Spurs from north London rivals Arsenal, and midfielder Bentley, who spent time on loan in Russia with FK Rostov and at former side Blackburn last season, is another set to move on.
Santa Cruz, 31, was loaned out to Malaga last season, where he played under Manuel Pellegrini, who is reported to be in line to take over at Manchester City.
Ivory Coast defender Kolo Toure, meanwhile, will not feature in City's future plans for their new manager and his move to Liverpool at the end of his contract was confirmed last month. Full-back Wayne Bridge is to join Reading.
Schwarzer, who had been linked with a switch to Arsenal in the past, turned down the offer of a new deal at Fulham, and so will move on. Arsenal announced earlier this week that Andrey Arshavin, Denilson and Sebastien Squillaci would all be leaving this summer, which was confirmed on the Premier League list.
Israel midfielder Yossi Benayoun and Portugal defender Paulo Ferreira have both been released by Chelsea.
Long-throw specialist Rory Delap departs Stoke along with retiring ex-England striker Michael Owen, Jermaine Pennant, Matthew Upson and Dean Whitehead.
Relegated Wigan, QPR and Reading, meanwhile, all announced the expected several free transfers as they prepare for life in the npower Championship.Reuse content

Senior Partnership Launches Statewide Ad Campaign Aimed at Reversing Proposed Elimination of Vital Senior Program
February 16, 2011 - Press Release
Governor's Budget Proposal to Eliminate Adult Day Health Care Program Would Impact over 37,000 Seniors and Disabled Adults
"Californians need to be made aware that the Brown Administration intends to toss tens of thousands of seniors out onto the street or force them into more expensive nursing homes," said Castulo de la Rocha, President and CEO of AltaMed Health Services, one of
According to the Governor's budget proposal, elimination of the ADHC program would save the state about $177 million. However, the governor's budget proposal grossly undercounts the number of program participants and does not provide for the potential cost shift associated with moving seniors into more expensive state-paid skilled nursing facilities at five times the cost of Adult Day Health Care.
"While we understand the need to resolve
A study prepared last year by The Lewin Group, a nationally recognized health care research firm, reported that elimination of the ADHC program would result in an immediate cost to the state of $51 million, an amount projected to increase significantly as the aging baby boomer population rapidly expands over the next decade and the need for services such as Adult Day Health Centers increase. The Lewin study also concluded that at least 40 percent of the 37,000 ADHC program participants would require transfer to a skilled nursing facility within the first 6 months of the program's termination.
"The patients served by ADHC programs are determined by the state to need ongoing medical care," said Gary Passmore, Director for the Congress of California Seniors. "There is no comparable medically supervised daytime care program under Medi-Cal for this population, many of whom suffer from Alzheimer's diabetes, mental illness or are developmentally disabled. The end result will be a nursing home or hospitalization."
Every state has some form of a Medicaid-reimbursed ADHC program that provides services to seniors and the disabled community. If

Richmond's week of turmoil and player turnover won't affect Melbourne's approach to the Tigers in their AFL clash on Saturday, says Demons coach Mark Neeld.
With seven team changes and a sleeping pill scandal leading to Daniel Connors' sacking and star midfielder Dustin Martin's suspension, the Tigers go into Saturday's MCG clash shaken after a tumultuous week.
But Neeld says the Tigers' issues won't change the way the Demons go about the game.
"I find it really difficult to comment on other clubs and what they're up to. Our focus is purely on us and the way we want to play," Neeld said.
"We're in a certain developmental phase and we're concentrating on that, so I didn't go there with the players.
"All we did was present the selected Richmond players and talk about their style of play. We didn't mention the number of changes or anything like that.
"I don't think that has an impact on our boys at all."
Richmond, who have a 6-7 win-loss record and must win to keep pace with the top eight, have been forced into five changes from the side which lost to Adelaide last weekend.
Along with Connors and Martin, Dylan Grimes and Jake King are injured and midfielder Daniel Jackson was suspended by the AFL Tribunal.
Brad Miller and Todd Elton have also been dropped.
Reece Conca and Jake Batchelor lead the inclusions for Richmond, with ruckman Tom Derickx - a regular contributor at VFL level - named to make his AFL debut.
Melbourne come off a 10-goal hiding by Brisbane last weekend, and have won just two of their 13 outings under Neeld this season.
They regain hard-working midfielder Nathan Jones from injury, which will help against a strong Tigers' midfield led by Trent Cotchin and Brett Deledio.
Meanwhile, Neeld said defender Tom McDonald was recovering well from a lung injury sustained when he copped an accidental knee from Brisbane's Daniel Merrett.
McDonald, who was unable to fly home from Queensland, was instead driven back to Melbourne by car over two days.
Neeld hopes McDonald may be able to return to the field within the next fortnight.

Last time on Behind the Beans, we asked you what you thought about the crafting system and what we could do to improve it. You went above and beyond on providing feedback and the team is still hard at work on those changes. We then followed that up with questions regarding the battleframes and abilities that you currently have access to. Thousands of you responded with pages of feedback. This week, the team discusses your feedback and what they are doing to make changes.
In the patch coming out this week, you should expect to see a handful of the changes discussed along with many other features the team has been working on. In order to help focus the next couple of weeks, we ask that you spend some time playing the ARES missions around the world and providing feedback on how to make those more engaging and more rewarding.
You should expect to see a survey coming out within the next couple of days, but please also feel free to post feedback on the forums or send us e-mail with your thoughts. Thanks again for helping make Firefall the best game that it can be.

9:00 am today got my first cut out call of the year.
9:00 am today got my first cut out call of the year.
Good Luck tomorrows high will be around 44 degrees with the low being 28 degrees!
Going to wait for better weather.
Some of my bees are actually carring pollen. I think it is maple pollen. That's the only thing I can think of, that they would be carring.
"Going to wait for better weather."
Ahh....I was wondering if this was a cutout that had to be done at this time of year, because I wouldn't think the bees would have a chance of survival with another month of cold weather and their hive so "dismantled".
They are carrying in some pollen from (maple I think) somewhere.I had pollen substitute out but they just disregarded it and were bringing in pollen like crazy.
Yes they are bringing in "alot" of Pollen here in central ky as well!!

Ok, so here is what happened, followed by what I have learned from this experience.
I had just laid down about 3:30 AM from reading when I heard a loud bang coming from my 10 year old son's room. The bad guy had apparently tried to break out the window with his bare hands. I jumped up and grabbed my pistol and ran down the stair to his room. I am not sure if my feet even touched the steps on the way down. The house was completely dark. The first thing I see is a shadow coming around the stairwell. It was my son. He was awakened by it, and came to tell me that he had seen a big man standing outside his window. I ran into his room and covered the window. My wife turns on our bedroom light and the hall lights and the perp gets scared and runs into the night. We called the law right about that time. My wife suggested I go outside to investigate in case he was breaking into the shed to steal. I told her that stuff could be replaced, and that I was staying in the house where we were safer, so that I could make sure her and the boys were protected. I just let the police do what they do, which is police. The police arrived on scene about 5 minutes after the call was made. We saw him through the window scoping the place out, circling the house for about 5 more minutes before he came to the door. As soon as I saw the police car outside the house, I put away my gun(wouldn't want to be confused for the bad guy.) After the cops came and took the report, we went outside and found a large hand print on my son's window.
What I have learned from this experience:
1. I now have no doubt whatsoever that I can do what needs to be done in a self defense situation. I always thought I could, but you never know until you are in that situation for the first time.
2. I need to get my CCW Permit Asap. I have already been planning on this pronto, but it just underlines the need.
3. The adrenaline dump phenomenon is real, and it's hard to shake even after the threat is gone.
4. I need lots of training. My son coming inbetween me and the bad guy really underscored this for me, especially since I couldn't see him at first. I am thankful that I had the forethought to not draw down on him by accident.
5. I need a good security system ASAP.
6. God is watching over me and my family.

Initially considered a prospect who may have to switch to guard in the pros, Glenn made an impressive showing at the Senior Bowl and opened some eyes to his potential as a tackle in the NFL. While I still like him mainly as a guard, his versatility and potential may have him skyrocketing up into the top-15 of the first round come draft day. A massive man with extremely long arms, Glenn is unsurprisingly a powerful run blocker with the ability to control defenders at the line of scrimmage. As you would expect, however, he may struggle with speed rushers in the NFL despite good agility for a man his size, forcing the switch to right tackle or guard. Glenn possesses huge upside and has been slowly moving up draft boards since Senior Bowl week. At this point, he looks like a lock as a top-20 pick.
Massive size and arm length (35 1/8″). Powerful upper and lower body that can drive defenders off the ball. Surprising athleticism to get to the second level. Decent balance. Strong initial punch. Natural wide base. Smooth. Strong anchor. Solid fundamentals. Quick feet to mirror defenders. Reliable. Versatile.
Potential weight concerns. Questionable ability to handle edge speed at left tackle full time in the NFL. Inconsistent hand placement. Gets lazy and becomes a waist-bender. Plays too upright at times. Relies on strength too much. Doesn't always finish blocks.
Measurables coming soon!


text: To start, I am talking about enigne oil not transmission oil, I already have an oversized Tranny cooler. I know I have the block off plate and i do not have lines running thru the radiator for the engine oil, I would like to put in an external tube fin style oil cooler for the engine oil. I live in AZ and the engine oil gets pretty warm running up hills pulling my camper or boat, I have the edge chip which displays the temps so i know when i need to slow down. I have flushed and put in nice coolant from gm with a booster from amsoil, and have synthetic heavy duty transmission oil and rear end oil, the truck tows like a dream for a half ton, if i can keep the engine oil temps down it would be all set. No i do not run the oil too hot to damage anything. I want a replacement for the block off above the oil filter to run oil to a cooler and back in from there. I am having trouble finding this. I don't really want the hoses that lead up to the radiator, since i am doing an external. Thanks for all the help in advance everyone!

|Corsair Hydro H70 Liquid CPU Cooler

CPU Cooler Final Thoughts
Although all-in-one water cooling kits existed years before Corsair introduced the H50 in June, 2009, the result of this Asetek/Corsair collaboration provided much better performance than previous efforts. While the H50 didn't compete with high-end air coolers, it provided a quiet alternative to mid-range coolers for mild overclocking, and you could enhance its performance significantly by adding a second fan.
Two of the best ways to increase a heat sink's performance are to increase the surface area of the "heat exchanger" (where heat is transferred to the air), and to move more air over the heat exchanger. Corsair adopted both tactics with the Hydro Series H70, doubling the thickness of the radiator and adding another fan. Doubling the radiator thickness gives the same surface area as would increasing the radiator size to 120x240mm, but the latter solution would severely restrict the number of cases the cooler could be used in.
The thicker radiator and dual fans increase the performance of the H70 tremendously, giving it a solid 7.8 degree lead over the H50 when compared with the stock fans, and a 3.4 degree lead when both are configured with the high-speed Delta fan. Since the pump assembly is obviously different, it's possible that the internal heat plate design has changed or that the pump has a higher flow rate, but if so, neither Asetek nor Corsair are saying.
In previous reviews I've noted how rapidly the CPU cooler market was advancing, with new designs and new performance benchmarks appearing so frequently that it was hard to keep up. We seem to be approaching an asymptote, though: the size of air coolers is reaching the constraints imposed by standard computer cases, and performance is leveling off. Since any retail CPU is shipped with a perfectly good CPU cooler in the box, you might think that the only reason to purchase an aftermarket cooler is performance. While this is certainly the primary consideration, there are others, such as acoustics (how loud the cooler is) and aesthetics (for windowed cases). Also, bear in mind that not every cooler works in every situation: top-performing air coolers tend to be both large and expensive, and are overkill for all but the hottest, most overclocked systems. There's room in the market for many different types of coolers, and the best solution for you is probably not the best solution for me.
While water coolers have improved since 2009, so have air coolers. For $109.99 at Newegg, the Corsair H70 is significantly more expensive than a Prolimatech Super Mega or Thermalright Venomous X, although equipping the latter two coolers with two high-performance fans would narrow the price gap.
Normally, our high-speed fan tests provide a good indication of relative cooler performance, but I think in this case the H70's thick radiator threw the results off a bit, since it probably requires a higher static pressure for good performance than do the air coolers. If you do replace the fans on this cooler, you should stick with the dual-fan configuration...but the stock fans on "low" provide an excellent balance of performance and noise in most cases.
Corsair Hydro Series H70 Conclusion
Please remember that these test results reflect our experience with each cooler on a specific motherboard, with a specific processor, BIOS revision, BCLK and voltage settings, and test programs. The results of this test cannot be directly compared to other tests since many factors will have changed.
Installing the Corsair H70 is relatively easy if you read the directions first and take your time. The "universal" Intel backplate (on AMD systems, the stock motherboard backplate is used) keeps the parts count (and price) down, but I prefer the more robust mounting system design of Asetek's original systems.
The performance of the Corsair H70 was very good, easily beating all the other water coolers in this test, although it was still outperformed by less expensive air coolers. Doubling the radiator thickness enables the H70 to double the surface area of its heat exchanger, which when aided by its dual fans provided a real increase in performance. I'd prefer to see PWM fans like the Cooler Master V6 GT uses, so the computer could control the fan speed. Having to plug in resistor cables to control fan speed seems a crude solution, especially at this price level.
The construction quality of the H70 was also very good: everything fit and worked correctly and the swivel mountings for the hoses pivoted freely. I have seen some water coolers arrive new in the box with bent or damaged fins, but the H70's radiator was pristine. I would prefer to see a more robust mounting system, though, since I think the clamping pressure might be a bit low with the current system.
The main reason to go with the H70 over a top-end air cooler is noise: while the V6 GT kept the processor 6.5 degrees cooler than did the H70 (with its fans on low), it did so at a substantial cost in noise. Also, if you transport your computer, the weight of a high end air cooler (all of which are two or more times heavier than Intel's recommended weight limit) can actually damage the motherboard if the computer is subjected to shocks; the tiny pump of the H70 is a featherweight in comparison to the kilogram or heavier weights of a dual-fan equipped Megahalems.
Cosmetically, the H70's rather dull, with all-black components and the Corsair label on the pump being the only adornment of any kind. While not everyone uses a windowed case, a little extra bling wouldn't hurt, especially in an era where even Intel puts LED lighting on their retail CPU coolers.
If you're interested in exploring water cooling, the Corsair Hydro Series H70 is a good introduction.
+ Good performance/noise balance with fans on low speed
- Outperformed by less expensive air coolers
Final Score: 8.5 out of 10.

I'll add to your note regarding the 'secret' pump performance. Besides the fluid flow, the fluid itself makes a difference and custom systems certainly have another advantage here. Different fluids and additives can increase heat transfer by decent margins. So if one is involved in serious overclocking, an open system has many advantages. But the simple and sealed packages such as the ALC and Corsair offerings are, as you said, a reliable, quiet, affordable, and easy way to increase heat displacement from the CPU.
Also note, the dual fan, push/pull configuration mounted to the radiator doesn't necessarily increase the CFM across the radiator by doubling the air flow (think of a fan as a pump for the fluid named 'air'). The same air moves through one fan, across the radiator, and then through the second radiator, fan speeds being equal. The air doesn't 'hover' around the radiator but is drawn more efficiently across the fins, and consistent pressure is maintained. To move more air, the fan speeds must be increased. Just as with any fluids, to increase flow, pumps must increase the fluid pressure. Adding more in-line pumps (fans) that all run at the same RPM doesn't increase flow, just maintains consistent pressure.
The h70 however has to be placed in the top of my cooler master cosmos s because otherwise it would interfere with the side intake fan. It runs on 1600 rpm and makes a lot more noise then my h50 (also had two fans) and runs 5C higher then the h50. Both are configured as exhausts btw.
I don't understand what causes this difference. Offcourse the sound is understandable since I had two of my own thermaltake iscg fans on it running at 1000 rpm! But still the h70 with 1600 and bigger radiator is 5C above the h50 with 38C in idle and around 42c when playing games.
If or when I get the backplate I'll do some testing wether or not there still is a big difference when I put it up in the same configuration and use the same fans as the H70.
A double-thick 120mm radiator offers the same surface area as a single-thickness 120x240mm radiator, although I think the latter would probably have a performance advantage due to better air flow.
60°C ? ... at the cores?
A highend aircooler will operate cooler even with a(good)silent 1200RPM fan like the Scythe S-Flex. I know this because i have one and its virtually silent on a Thermalright cooler. I have tested many, many fans and only the best 1200RPM fans are virtually silent, fans spinning at 1600/2000 RPM are just ridiculous.
Why would you put up with noise and pay a lot more for H70 when you can have a cheaper and virtually silent high end cooler. I can only assume some people have never experienced a silent system or know what is possible or have been sucked in by "water" cooling marketting.
And before anyone says "You can run the H70 with 1200RPM fans" the H70 suffers badly with fans at that speed and you can add 10 Degrees to temps.
I have a gpu which seems to make in non silent even at its factory de tuned super low power usage rates. as soon as it gets beyond 32% it is audible to my old ears and after 34% it is noisy. I have a good aftermarket cooler on one 5870 and it is quieter but not silent. so the notion of a silent system as far as the cpu cooler goes is out. But, there are some good 'quiet' fans which push a fair amount of air enough dramatically reduce my Phenom II 965 in the hot summer. I do not think these liquid all in ones ready for me and my price point as yet. It is good to know how much progress is being made. I have used enough of the well reviewed air cooler/heat sink types and changed fan with good sale silent fans or 100+ cfm represented ones with 'some' noise.
i enjoy the input here on this side of the review as well for the reservoir of experience and info.
your efforts are greatly appreciated here.

Simple Bookmarking App With PHP, JS & MySQL
Martin Angelov
Part of the developer's life, is to strive for simplicity in every aspect of their work. When searching for solutions to common problems, you have the choice to lock yourself into all kinds of third party services and API's, or take the opportunity and develop the functionality yourself.
In this week's tutorial, we are making a simple link sharing app. This app will give you the ability to instantly share any web page, with a single click of a bookmarklet in your bookmarks bar, and display it in a widget on your site.
Note: This tutorial is quite old and doesn't work in PHP7 and above. We are keeping it online only as a reference.
The idea
The database schema
Before moving to any development work, we need to create the database table that will hold all the bookmarks. The table definition is stored in table.sql in the download zip. You can run it in the SQL section of phpMyAdmin to recreate the table on your server. After this remember to change the MySQL login details in connect.php.
Notice the HASH column. This is a unique field that stores the md5() sum of the URL field. We are using this to ensure that there are no duplicate links in the database. Inserting a link that already exists, will cause the query to fail and the mysql_affected_rows() function will return 0. We are using this in the PHP section of the tut to determine what message is going to be displayed to the user, as you will see in a few moments.
Step 1 – XHTML
XHTML markup is generated on the fly by PHP. It is only needed when presenting the shared links on your website. It is basically a simple unordered list with each shared page being a li element inside it.

Perfection kills

36 seconds ago

The HTML5 test - How well does your browser support HTML5?

2 minutes ago

The li elements are generated after PHP runs a query against the database for the latest bookmarks, as you will see in step 3. Each li contains the title of the page and the relative time since the bookmark was added. We will get back go this in the PHP part of the tutorial.
Step 2 – CSS
Again, the CSS code is only needed in the presentation part. You can modify the styling to match the rest of your site or ignore this code completely. Also, not all the styles are given here. You can see the rest in styles.css in the download archive.
ul.latestSharesUL{ /* The bookmark widet */ background-color:#f5f5f5; margin:0 auto; padding:10px; width:280px; border:1px solid #e0e0e0; text-shadow:1px 1px 0 white; font-size:13px; color:#666; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } ul.latestSharesUL li{ /* Each bookmark entry */ background-color:#FAFAFA; border:1px solid #EAEAEA; border-bottom:none; list-style:none; padding:12px; } ul.latestSharesUL li:last-child{ /* Targeting the last element of the set */ border-bottom:1px solid #EAEAEA; } ul.latestSharesUL, ul.latestSharesUL li{ /* Adding regular and inset shadows */ -moz-box-shadow:1px 1px 0 white inset, 0 0 2px white; -webkit-box-shadow:1px 1px 0 white inset, 0 0 2px white; box-shadow:1px 1px 0 white inset, 0 0 2px white; } .dt{ /* The date time field */ font-size:10px; padding-top:10px; color:#888; } a.bookmrk, a.bookmrk:visited{ /* The bookmark title in the widget */ color:#666; }
By using the box-shadow and border-radius CSS3 properties, we are cutting down on the number of divs that would otherwise be needed to achieve the same design. Also notice the use of the :last-child selector, which targets the last li in the unordered list, and adds a bottom border.
Step 3 – PHP
// Setting the content-type header to javascript: header('Content-type: application/javascript'); // Validating the input data if(empty($_GET['url']) || empty($_GET['title']) || !validateURL($_GET['url'])) die(); // Sanitizing the variables $_GET['url'] = sanitize($_GET['url']); $_GET['title'] = sanitize($_GET['title']); // Inserting, notice the use of the hash field and the md5 function: mysql_query(" INSERT INTO bookmark_app (hash,url,title) VALUES ( '".md5($_GET['url'])."', '".$_GET['url']."', '".$_GET['title']."' )"); $message = ''; if(mysql_affected_rows($link)!=1) { $message = 'This URL already exists in the database!'; } else $message = 'The URL was shared!';
The document title and URL are passed to this script by the bookmarklet and are available in the $_GET array. The data is sanitized and validated with our custom made sanitize() function, after which it is inserted in the database. Then, after checking the status of the mysql_affected_rows() function, we assign to the $message variable the appropriate status message that is going to be displayed to the user.
I would suggest to take a quick look at bookmark.php in the download zip, to see how PHP and JavaScript work together to successfully insert the bookmark and output the result.
Now lets move on to see how the bookmarks are displayed in a simple widget.
$shares = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM bookmark_app ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 6"); while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($shares)) { // Shortening the title if it is too long: if(mb_strlen($row['title'],'utf-8')>80) $row['title'] = mb_substr($row['title'],0,80,'utf-8').'..'; // Outputting the list elements: echo '

'.$row['title'].'

'.relativeTime($row['dt']).'

'; }
This code selects the last 6 shared links from the database, generates the appropriate LI elements containing the title as a hyperlink to the bookmarked page, and calculate the relative time since the entry was published with our custom made relativeTime() function.
The custom functions we are using are defined in functions.php.
/* Helper functions */ function validateURL($str) { return preg_match('/(http|ftp|https):\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:\/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&\/~\+#])?/i',$str); } function sanitize($str) { if(ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc')) $str = stripslashes($str); $str = strip_tags($str); $str = trim($str); $str = htmlspecialchars($str); $str = mysql_real_escape_string($str); return $str; } function relativeTime($dt,$precision=2) { if(is_string($dt)) $dt = strtotime($dt); $times=array( 365*24*60*60 => "year", 30*24*60*60 => "month", 7*24*60*60 => "week", 24*60*60 => "day", 60*60 => "hour", 60 => "minute", 1 => "second"); $passed=time()-$dt; if($passed<5) { $output='less than 5 seconds ago'; } else { $output=array(); $exit=0; foreach($times as $period=>$name) { if($exit>=$precision || ($exit>0 && $period<60)) break; $result = floor($passed/$period); if($result>0) { $output[]=$result.' '.$name.($result==1?'':'s'); $passed-=$result*$period; $exit++; } else if($exit>0) $exit++; } $output=implode(' and ',$output).' ago'; } return $output; }
One of the guiding principles when building web applications is "Do not trust your users". This implies that all input data has to be properly escaped. This is exactly what the sanitize() function is doing – it prevents possible XSS attacks, strips any HTML tags and escapes all the HTML characters that could potentially break your markup when displayed.
The other interesting function is relativeTime(), which takes the timestamp field, assigned to each bookmark, and turns it into a user-friendly relative time string. It also takes an optional second argument, which limits the number of time units that are returned (setting precision to 1 will return 1 hour ago, instead of 1 hour and 10 minutes ago).
Step 4 – JavaScript
As the script is dynamically included in third party pages, it is not a good idea to rely on third party libraries like jQuery. This is why, for a change, we are going to work with pure JavaScript.
First, lets take a look at the bookmarklet code.
bookmarklet code
(function () { var jsScript = document.createElement('script'); jsScript.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript'); jsScript.setAttribute('src', '/bookmark.php?url=' + encodeURIComponent(location.href) + '&title=' + encodeURIComponent(document.title)); document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(jsScript); })();
The bookmarklet is just a regular hyperlink, which has the code above preceded with the javascript: protocol as its href attribute. When clicked, the snippet creates a new script element, sets bookmark.php as its URL (along with the encoded title and URL of the currently active page), and appends it to the head section of the document. It is not as pretty as it would have been if we used the jQuery library, but it gets the job done.
Now lets return to bookmark.php.
function displayMessage(str) { // Using pure JavaScript to create and style a div element var d = document.createElement('div'); with(d.style) { // Applying styles: position='fixed'; width = '350px'; height = '20px'; top = '50%'; left = '50%'; margin = '-30px 0 0 -195px'; backgroundColor = '#f7f7f7'; border = '1px solid #ccc'; color = '#777'; padding = '20px'; fontSize = '18px'; fontFamily = '"Myriad Pro",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif'; textAlign = 'center'; zIndex = 100000; textShadow = '1px 1px 0 white'; MozBorderRadius = "12px"; webkitBorderRadius = "12px"; borderRadius = "12px"; MozBoxShadow = '0 0 6px #ccc'; webkitBoxShadow = '0 0 6px #ccc'; boxShadow = '0 0 6px #ccc'; } d.setAttribute('onclick','document.body.removeChild(this)'); // Adding the message passed to the function as text: d.appendChild(document.createTextNode(str)); // Appending the div to document document.body.appendChild(d); // The message will auto-hide in 3 seconds: setTimeout(function(){ try{ document.body.removeChild(d); } catch(error){} },3000); }
The JavaScript code above is right below the PHP logic that inserts the bookmark to the database in bookmark.php. The displayMessage() JavaScript function creates a div element, styles it and displays it in the center of the page.
As bookmark.php is evaluated as a JS file, every text that it outputs is treated as regular JavaScirpt code. As we mentioned in the PHP step, bookmark.php receives the document title and URL, inserts them in the database, and creates the $message variable. This is later outputted as a call to the displayMessage() function, which executes the above code and shows the message:
// Adding a line that will call the JavaScript function: echo 'displayMessage("'.$message.'");';
With this our simple bookmarking app is complete!
If you plan to use this widget to share links with your visitors (or to save them for yourself) be sure to upload the script to a directory with a random name, as this script does not offer authentication. This is also the reason why it is so simple to set up and use.

Can anyone tell me: the guy who installed my Mahoning outdoor furnace said to keep the grates open, just shake it til hot coals appear in the ash-box.
When he found out that I am using anthracite coal instead of bituminous, he said he's nor sure how to handle this aspect; and teh furnace is not getting up to heat.
Should I be approaching the clearing of the grates some other way? Thanks for any help.

Comments about Flow Silhouette Snowboard - Women's 2014:
Great board, I bought it right before a big ski trip in NY and wasn't disappointed. Came with a great factory wax that made it ready to go. The first time I took it out, however, someone ran into the back of my board and split the fiberglass from the wood alittle, but this board is really easy to fix so it wasn't even a problem. Really nice design, excellent board for what I paid.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The minimum price for a trip to the cinema to see The Lego Movie in 3D costs an adult $21 at Auckland cinemas.
Taking advantage of special deals and loyalty programmes could reduce prices at New Zealand's three main cinema chains, but industry experts and movie buffs expect prices to keep rising.
A Herald comparison of prices for different movies coincides with school holidays, when family trips to see the latest blockbusters are common.
To take a family of two adults and two children to see The Lego Movie in 3D would cost $59 using a Family Pass and paying $1 each for 3D glasses at both Event Cinemas and Hoyts, while it would set two adults back $44 for the same experience.
To see the non-3D children's movie Rio 2 would be $18 for an adult and $12.50 for a child, or $42 for the family pass.
Flick.co.nz editor and regular moviegoer Steve Newell was surprised ticket prices had exceeded $20. "It would be quite a surprise to do the full consumption experience if you haven't done it in a while," he said.
Adding snacks for two people at Event Cinemas would cost $19 for a special deal that included large popcorn, two small drinks and two chocolate topped icecream.
Mr Newell said there was a range of special deals and reduced rates that made the theatre more affordable and a trip to the movies was also comparable to other entertainment activities.
"It comes down to it being an entertainment experience, whether you're going to see a film or not it's the same value you would pay for another entertainment experience.
"That's how much you would pay for a box of beers and less than a meal out, and with how long blockbusters are now - some of them are up to 2 hours long."
Event Cinema General Manager Carmen Switzer said it was special effects technology and everyday business costs that contributed to ticket prices.
"Many films now are 3D, this requires specific digital technology that Event has invested in and installed in its theatres throughout New Zealand.
"It is this constant reinvestment in the business, in addition to the increasing day-to-day costs of running the business that set prices."
The chain provided options for family passes and loyalty reward programmes to bring down the cost of the experience and seeing a film on the big screen was a special experience, she said.
Hoyts did not respond to requests for comment.
Movie money well spent, say family
A family trip to the movies on Anzac Day was worth it for the Fakaosi family enjoying a school holiday outing yesterday.
Peter, Pamela and their 5-year-old daughter Prisilla enjoyed a screening of Rio 2 at Event Cinemas in Queen St.
The price tag did not deter them.
The family spent $65 on tickets and took advantage of a deal at the candy bar that included popcorn, drinks and icecream for $20.
They also paid $6 for a space at a central city carpark, as they drove from their home in Takapuna.
"We expected this price because it's the school holidays and our daughter has never been to this cinema before," said Mrs Fakaosi.
"We did know that it was expensive here, but we got a two-for-one deal on the food and we came over for a day in the city."
Mr Fakaosi, a retail manager, said the movies were cheaper than other activities the family did during school holidays.
"Usually we travel back to Tonga, so this is much better."
He said as more people downloaded movies illegally, cinemas should lower their prices to entice them back to the big screen.
"It's an experience. You just want to watch it on the big screen, where you enjoy it more."

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
We are a 501c3 non profit organization We do rescue from within our homes, we have been very successful at matching many homeless Rotties with the wonderful Family's who have opened their hearts to these Beautiful and sometimes misunderstood Rottweilers.
When filling out applications, please keep in mind, that we are volunteers working from our homes, and will respond as quickly as possible. We thank you for your patience.
Majesty Rottweiler Rescue is dedicated to helping Rottweilers! It is our hope, to help educate the public about responsible dog "ownership" and help place homeless Rottweiler's with new loving families, who consider them as true members of their Family!! We are always happy to have new members with us who love and care for the Rottweiler as we do. If you are concerned about the welfare of this exceptional breed and wish to be part of a rescue then please join us in our efforts to help the most loyal, faithful and sometimes misunderstood breed...The Rottweiler!
We also do adoption events where you would be allowed to meet all our Dogs, we will post those times as they occur.
Another way you can help us save more homeless dogs is by choosing us when you shop;
The application process begins with the Adoption Application, anyone wishing to adopt from Majesty must first fill out an Adoption Application Form.
Please fill out the application form completely, we cannot process incomplete applications and it will delay the process. A Veterinarian reference, three personal references and a Home/Visit are required. If you are in the process of changing Veterinarians, we will still require your former Veterinarians name and number along with the new one you have decided to use, this allows us to verify a history and habit of proper Veterinary care of your Pets.
Upon receipt, we will review your application, if it appears to be a good match for the Pet of interest, then we will contact you via e-mail or telephone. Once you have submitted your application, please allow us time to process it, this is a private rescue organization that is based out of a home. We do not get paid for what we do, we are all volunteers and do have regular jobs and Families, so please be patient.
If your application is favorable, we will contact you to schedule a time to come to your home to see where and how the Dog will live. We are not interested in how clean your home is, but mainly that the Dog will have a safe environment with a Family that will provide love and companionship. We do ask that all Family members or anyone living in the household be present at that time so we may meet with them and answer any questions.
Once all parties are in agreement that the adoption is to take place, we will then make arrangements with you to meet the Dog, either at your residence or at the current home of the chosen Dog. If you have other Animals in your home, we recommend them accompanying you on your visit with the Adoptee in order to ascertain the way they will interact with one another. Sometimes it may be possible for the member doing the Home/Visit to bring the Dog with them.
Once the Home/Visit is completed, the Adoption approved, and all parties are in agreement, we will contact you to schedule a time in which to finalize the Adoption, sign the Adoption contract, and bring the Dog to his or her new Home! We do ask for a $300. adoption fee at this time,the fee is not a "sale price" it is to help defer the price of Veterinarian care that has been paid in order to make this Dog ready for Adoption and allows us to help other homeless Rotties. Most times we have spend a great deal more than the required adoption fee, without this fee, we would not be allowed to continue to help other homeless Rottweilers in need.
All Majesty Rottweiler's are up to date on all shots, spayed or neutered, have been heartworm tested are on preventative and are micro-chipped. All Dogs have been temperament tested to assure to the best of our ability they are adoptable Dogs.
Thank you for working with Majesty Rottweiler Rescue Inc.
We are a 501c3 organization and all of your donations are tax deductible.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Suspend the tradition of NHL commissioners personally awarding the Cup
Mr. Bettman,
The on-ice awarding of the Stanley Cup to the captain of the championship winning team is an iconic moment for all fans of hockey. In the years of your tenure, this moment is perennially tainted by the raucous booing brought about by your mere presence on the ice. Regardless of whether this ire is deserved or not, nearly the entire fan base of the sport you've sworn to uphold the integrity of, to say the least, does not want you to play a part in the ceremony of handing over the Stanley Cup to the victorious team.
This is the third lockout under your tenure as commissioner of the NHL. The entire fan base that enables any salary to be attached with your position whatsoever, is for the majority, irreconcilably upset with the handling of this last lockout. It will take overwhelming positivity from all parties involved (league officials, team owners, and players) for we the fans to move forward without harboring overwhelming disdain.
You're would-be presence on the ice to award the Stanley Cup in 2013 is counterproductive to protecting the integrity of the sport of hockey and the NHL organization. Nearly every NHL fan across the planet, justifiably so or not, hates you. Do the fans and the sport of hockey a service by removing yourself from what should be a purely positive and iconic NHL tradition. You're presence on the ice after a third lockout under your guise will no doubt create an environment nothing short of hostile. This gesture would go a long way in allowing we the fans to put the past behind us and move forward.

Attorney's Fees
In 1976, Congress declared that citizens who successfully enforce civil rights laws are entitled to the costs of prosecuting this litigation, including their attorney's fees. For the past thirty-five years, the Center has successfully enforced civil rights laws on behalf of persons with disabilities, and obtained attorney's fees awards for its clients. The federal statute and the resultant fee awards have allowed the Center to continue to undertake precedent-setting and often expensive litigation on behalf of other persons with disabilities.
Entitlement to Fees
Prevailing plaintiffs in civil rights cases may have the right to obtain their attorneys' fees from the defendants. 42 U.S.C. § 1988 provides that the prevailing party in cases brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 are entitled to fees. The ADA and § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act have their own fee shifting provisions, as do many other federal and state laws. The Center has been successful in obtaining fees in numerous cases and has amassed pleadings and other documents that may be helpful to civil and disability rights advocates. Court decisions, motions, briefs and affidavits concerning various issues that often arise when pursuing attorneys' fees are listed below.
Reasonably Expended Hours
The generally accepted method for calculating an appropriate fee – the lodestar approach – entails multiplying the time spent by the attorney's hourly rate. The Center routinely records all time spent on its civil rights cases through a computerized timekeeping program. This eliminates disputes about the accuracy of the time requested.
The Center always reviews its time records and exercises billing judgment, eliminating time that is excessive, redundant of work done by others, or spent on a discrete issue on which it did not prevail. Nevertheless, defendants routinely contend that the requested time includes time that is duplicative, excessive, or not compensable. Affidavits, briefs, and decisions on reasonable time are listed below.
Rosie D. v. Patrick Memorandum of Law (see section on reasonable hours)
Rolland v. Celluci
Reasonable Hourly Rates
The second part of the lodestar equation is the determination of reasonable hourly rates. In Blum v. Stenson, the Supreme Court held that reasonable hourly rates are the prevailing market rates in the relevant community for lawyers of comparable skill, experience and reputation. The Center routinely submits affidavits from local lawyers with comparable rates, including attorneys in large private firms. The Center has also succeeded in establishing rates for its attorneys by comparing them to its private firm co-counsel with similar experience. Fee affidavits, briefs and decisions on hourly rates are listed below.
Hutchinson v. Patrick Affidavit of Stephen Hanlon
Hutchinson v. Patrick Memorandum of Law (see section on reasonable rates) (district court)
Hutchinson v. Patrick Appellate Brief (see section on reasonable rates)
Recoverable Costs
Fee shifting statutes generally provide for both attorneys' fees and costs. However, exactly what expenses are recoverable as costs depends both on the specific fee shifting statute and the customary billing practice in the area. Generally, if the customary practice is to separately bill private clients for the expense, it is separately recoverable. If the expense is generally built into the attorneys' hourly rate, it is not separately compensable. The one large exception is expert witness fees which are not available under 42 U.S.C. § 1988, although they are recoverable under the fee shifting provision of the ADA. Briefs and decisions on compensable costs are listed below.
Hutchinson v. Patrick Decision
Settlement Agreements
Following the Supreme Court's Buckhannon decision, there has been considerable uncertainty and much litigation concerning when plaintiffs who prevail through a settlement agreement are entitled to fees. The Center successfully litigated these issues following the settlement in its acquired brain injury case, Hutchinson v. Patrick. Following a favorable decision from the district court awarding fees, the defendants appealed contending that the settlement did not have sufficient judicial involvement to satisfy Buckhannon. The 1st Circuit affirmed the district court in a decision which closely tracked the arguments in the Center's brief and an amici curiae brief.
Hutchinson v. Patrick Settlement Agreement
Hutchinson v. Patrick Memorandum of Law (district court)
Hutchinson v. Patrick Decision (district court)
Hutchinson v. Patrick Appellate Brief
Hutchinson v. Patrick Brief Amici Curiae
Hutchinson v. Patrick Decision (1st Cir.)
Fees for Post-Judgment Monitoring and Enforcement
System reform litigation routinely requires post-judgment monitoring and enforcement to ensure that the relief is implemented. Plaintiffs are generally entitled to fees for the time reasonably expended on such activities. The Center has been involved in numerous cases regarding fees for post-judgment work. It is the Center's practice to periodically petition for fees during the course of the post-judgment monitoring and enforcement stage of a case. Selected decisions and briefs addressing these issues are listed below.
Brewster v. Dukakis
1st Cir. Decision (1986)
Jackson v. Los Lunas Center
Decision (2007)

Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello and welcome to JustAnswer!
When you replaced the lock cylinder what did you get? Did you have a dealer or locksmith build you a new cylinder using your VIN number? Or have you purchased something that came with keys?
Was your original ignition key that you always used gray and thick-headed?
Ok. Your Durango has the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIM). There is a transponder chip in the key that communicates with a module in the steering column which then communicates with the engine controller to allow the engine to start and run. When an unprogrammed or incorrect key is used the engine will start and die.
If the replacement keys you got with this lock cylinder are thick gray-headed ones then they will need to be programmed to the vehicle using a dealer scan tool. If the keys with this new lock cylinder are plain keys (without the thick gray head), they are incorrect for your vehicle and won't work. You have to have a good programmed SKIM key to allow the engine to start and run.

Have you ever found your car window smashed or the tyres slashed for no apparent reason? If so, the majority of motorists should sympathise with your frustration.
During the past year, vandals have caused a massive £953 million worth of damage to British vehicles — with drivers forking out an average £260 for repairs.
Insurer Liverpool Victoria, which insures 2.8 million British cars, found 54% of UK motorists have been the victim of vandalism and one in ten has experienced this type of crime in the past 12 months.
Keying is the most common type of vandalism and accounts for 33% of these crimes. Smashed windows make up 26% of incidents and slashed tyres represent 10% of the damage. Bent antennas, smashed mirrors or windscreens and graffiti are also common.
Where's worst
There's bad news for drivers in the London borough of Enfield, which was identified as the top car vandalism hotspot. Next up, South East London and Bournemouth experienced the second and third highest levels of vandalism.
Where your car is most at risk:
1. Enfield
2. South East London
3. Bournemouth
4. North West London
5. Brighton
6. Southall
7. Romford
8. Southend on Sea
9. Rochester
10. Edinburgh
Source: Liverpool Victoria claims data
Cars most at risk
As well as where people are most hit, earlier this year online insurer Swiftcover.com worked out the Lexus IS is the vehicle most likely to be targeted, followed by the BMW Z4 and the Mini One. The Mercedes CLK, Audi TT and Mazda MX-5 are also favourites with vandals.
In contrast, motorists with more "everyday" cars such as Fords and Citroens experienced fewer incidents.
Robin Reames, claims director at Swiftcover.com, said: "Our research shows that luxury cars are more likely to be targeted by vandals. The majority of vehicles in the top ten are what we call 'executive cars', likely to be driven by high earners who see their car as a status symbol."
Can I claim on my insurance?
Although you may be covered for malicious damage if you have comprehensive cover, most third party or third party fire and theft policies won't extend to vandalism claims.
While you may receive a payout if you have a comprehensive policy, you'll need to pay the excess on the claim and will therefore still lose money if you're the victim of malicious damage.
Further, your insurance company may not classify the damage as vandalism if it has been caused by another vehicle.
On a more positive note, a few insurance companies allow you to retain your no claims discount if you claim. However, this is not a standard feature of insurance policies, so it's wise to check your fine print carefully and don't simply assume you'll be covered.
Also, your future premiums could increase if you make a vandalism claim — even if your insurance company allows you to retain your no claims bonus. This is because the incident will still appear as part of your claims history when your insurer calculates your premium costs.
[Useful: Are you paying too much for car insurance? Compare quotes online]
Insurance and the police
If you would like to put in a claim for one of these incidents, you need to report the incident to the police so that you can provide the insurance company with a crime reference number. However, Liverpool Victoria found 48% of victims did not report the crime, although 12% believed they knew the identity of the perpetrator.
Remember to report the incident to the police as promptly as possible, especially if you're planning to make a claim on your insurance. A number of companies will suspend your no claims discount in the period between receiving your claim and having confirmation of the crime reference number.
If you do need to contact the police regarding an incident of vandalism, try not to touch the car before the police arrive or you could contaminate the evidence.

Vinton officials are reminding residents of the importance of its news warning sirens and the purpose they serve. (Natalie Stewart / American Press)
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 10:16 AM
By Natalie Stewart / American Press
VINTON — Town officials are reminding residents of the importance of its news warning sirens and the purpose they serve.
The warning system was installed in March to alert residents to take action in emergency situations, which includes anything from inclement weather to the release of hazardous materials.
Fire Chief Jerry Merchant said the sirens, installed at the Southside Fire Station and in the 700 block of East Street, serve to alert Vinton residents and residents in the surrounding area of an incident that requires they take action.
Merchant said it will especially be used to warn residents of impending severe weather.
"When a severe weather warning goes out over the television or radio that means there is severe weather coming in, such as high winds, hail or that type of weather," he said. "We will set the sirens off when a tornado has been spotted, whether it's coming directly toward Vinton or going to miss us. We need to let everyone know about it."
In conjunction with the sirens wail to warn of imminent severe weather, the town will perform a ring down to ensure residents are aware of actions they need to take.
"If it comes over the siren that there is a severe weather warning, I want residents to know that there is a tornado imminent somewhere in the immediate area," Merchant said. "(Tornadoes) can change direction very quickly."
The sirens are tested every Monday at noon alternating between being operated by 911 and the Vinton Police Department.
"(Alternating who tests the sirens) gives the dispatcher (at VPD) familiarity to easily operate the equipment and instruction to know how to set off the siren," Merchant said.
The $106,000 system can transmit a continuous warning for up to two days and the sirens are built to withstand severe weather. The alert system is the only one in the parish equipped to transmit voice messages.
Vinton paid $81,000 for the project and the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury paid the remaining $25,000.

Have you ever owned a gun?
No, of course not. I lived in Canada. Although I did live in New York for almost 40 years, which is quite a different situation. I didn't own a gun there, either.
Did you ever feel the need to own a gun there?
Not really. If you own a gun, you should be prepared to load it and be prepared to use it. I wonder how many people really are.
The major issue is poverty. Inequality of income. It's not rich people who are committing these crimes with guns, or are the victims of it.
I mean, you talk about [protecting] Second Amendment rights, the right to bear arms. You are not allowed to own an anti-tank gun or a shoulder-fired missile or a machine gun. These are military weapons. To have them on the street is unthinkable. So, already, the Second Amendment has been abridged and modified, hasn't it?
In the aftermath of the Newtown school shooting, President Barack Obama has been pressing for gun control measures that seem pretty mild: a ban on assault weapons, magazine restrictions and background checks. Is that enough?
They're all sensible and all laws that we have in effect in Canada. The NRA totally ignored gun ownership as a contributing factor and, instead, concentrated on violent video games. Well, we're watching the same violent video games here and in England and in Australia and, of course, we have a minuscule rate of gun violence.
The NRA, which began as a representative of sportsmen, has turned into a representative of the arms industry. It's not hunting licences that are funding the NRA, it's the arms manufacturers. [They've become] a lobbyist for the makers of guns.
There are gun firms in England and Germany; why is the gun lobby not rampant there?
Well, you've touched on something that I found puzzling all the years I lived in the States, and it's come to light in the Tea Party movement. The strong suspicion and fear in their own government. The people in Washington are "the enemy."
The militia mentality. Why does that persist 240 years on?
Well, growing up as Canadians, we were never under the illusion that somehow we were going to rule the world. I was continually amused by this idea of American exceptionalism. That, somehow or other, it is their God-given duty to bring freedom to the world, whatever "freedom" means. And, of course, America was born in gun violence. The Second Amendment was written in a time of muskets.
You can cite the Second Amendment and the Constitution to your own purpose, too. The Constitution was written more than 200 years ago. Scripture was written 2,000 years ago, and these don't necessarily apply today. There's a reason for amendments.
The right to bear arms remains in the U.S. Constitution. That freedom is a sacred tenet to the NRA and its supporters.
Well, it's gone to an extreme. In the land of the free, there are more people imprisoned than in any other country in the world. Obviously, something is not working and to cling to a 200-year-old ambiguous amendment to the Constitution written in the time of muskets can hardly apply today in the time of AR-15s.
The mentality seems to be that any control on arms is an assault on freedom – "What freedom will they take next?"
That's the slippery slope argument isn't it? [Gun control] seems very sensible. You have to be registered to fly a plane, to drive a car; we don't consider those to be an encroachment of our liberties. Why shouldn't gun registration be just as tightly regulated? It seems like a no-brainer, but it's not. It sets off some very deep feelings and feelings that are uniquely American.
"Guns don't kill people. People kill people." Do you have a rebuttal to that?
I guess it's 50-50, isn't it? So it's very simple. If you can take 50 per cent of the equation away, why not?
In the wake of Newtown, might things change?
I think it is changing. I think this has shocked the nation. A lot of politicians are finally standing up. They were terrified of the NRA because they carry so much clout.
The NRA has got a lot of egg on its face. Their response was completely unreasonable. They should have stepped in and said, "We are going to use our power as the National Rifle Association to register these weapons and get some regulation in place." They would have come off looking very good had they done that. But they didn't. They're basically slaves to their masters, the arms industry. There was absolutely no bend in their position whatsoever.Report Typo/Error

Significant derogatory credit events, such as a foreclosure, affect borrower credit negatively and remain on a credit report for seven years. A borrower with a past foreclosure poses a much higher risk of default to mortgage lenders. The borrower must wait several years, which is known as a seasoning period, before acquiring another mortgage for a refinance. How long they must wait depends on the type of refinance loan. Certain lenders allow a borrower with a past foreclosure to refinance sooner than seven years.
A foreclosure is the seizure of real estate by the collector of a debt secured by the home, such as a mortgage debt or tax lien. A pre-foreclosure sale and deed-in-lieu of foreclosure (DIL) are alternatives to foreclosure that allow the borrower to sell the home for less than the debt owed or convey title to the lender, respectively. The FICO credit score registers these events similarly because the accounts are "not paid as agreed," myFICO states.
Conventional Lenders
Conventional loans owned by government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the most common mortgages originated. Mortgages sold to Fannie and Freddie are considered conventional. A conventional refinance requires seven years seasoning. Borrowers must re-establish good credit within that time and meet all of Fannie's or Freddie's eligibility guidelines for credit, income and employment. The conventional refinance varies in its eligibility criteria based on whether it involves cashing out -- taking equity out of your home's value -- or just changing loan terms and interest rate.
FHA Refinance
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insures about one-third of the nation's mortgages, making it the largest government insurer of home loans in the world. FHA-approved lenders make loans to borrowers with credit challenges based on FHA's promise to repay in the event of foreclosure. FHA eligibility criteria is less stringent than conventional standards. In order to refinance with an FHA-insured mortgage, the borrower must wait at least three years after the foreclosure.
Lenders may waive the seasoning requirement if the borrower can demonstrate extenuating circumstances at the time of the foreclosure. Conventional and FHA standards allow borrowers that show either a serious illness or death of a wage earner caused the foreclosure to refinance after a shortened wait period. Conventional loans require three years, and FHA may waive it completely. The borrower also must re-establish good credit since the event.

Where I stayed
A couple of people had given us clear instructions about what train to catch and what station to get out at, Cultra on the Bangor line, and that worked fine. While on the train, Ruth feeling comfortable in her winter cords, T shirt, windcheater, thick socks and heavy walking shoes (in other words what she would wear in Melbourne in winter) and Tom in a long sleeved shirt we overhead the man opposite discussing the "heat wave". Ruth did take her windcheater off for a while at the museum and, for the first time she can remember, was not actually cold at all during the day.
Once we were at the train station we headed out and could not find any signs to the museum
The first thing we did at the folk museum was to sit and listen to a great Brass band. We did not recognise any of the tunes but enjoyed them all. Tom also loved being able to sit and rest his back and legs!
We then walked around the town part. There was a gathering of the Friends of Massey Fergusons with their old tractors and a replica hotel bus that was transporting wedding guests. We also saw the actual wedding party in the grounds. The driver of the bus was even wearing the old fashioned goggles that chauffeurs used to wear.
We ran out of time, and energy, to explore the country part of the museum
The return train trip was likewise uneventful. After dropping off our back pack (Ruth) and camera (Tom) we went to the old pub opposite with the intention of a quiet meal. After a drink at the bar; and a discussion about how long it was since we had sat in a pub (when people were still smoking in bars?), we went upstairs for dinner only to learn the place was closed for a private function. After another false start we found a little pub for a pub meal. We certainly knew when it was time to leave – the waitress vacuumed the area next to us and spread dust all around. It's a good thing the locals do not look for tips.

One thing that my husband is definitely not excited for about this pregnancy is how all my little…quirks become amplified. I'm practically a grumpy old man at the best of times, and when you combine that with pregnancy shenangigans, it's a recipe for disaster. A disaster for everyone else, that is. I have no problems at all with my supposedly "irrational" pet hates and you just never know when I'll snap!
1. Too close!
I like my personal space — something that I think most people have no bloody concept of. I don't know you, don't touch me! The absolute worst thing, though? I love my boys to bits, but if I have to sleep on a sliver of the bed while they both spread out and take up 95% of it for one more night, I might just go postal. (The good news is that Liam has apparently picked up on this particular hate and has slept in his own bed for quite a few nights in a row now. Score!)
2. A Waste of Space
I know you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth and I should just be happy that my beloved husband helps out as much as he does, but it drives me INSANE when he hangs the clothes out and they're just spread out all over the place. No, that's not efficient. Hang the socks and jocks together on the smallest part that can't fit anything else! Keep the clothes within the segments. It's just better that way, okay?!
I bet he's really glad we don't have a dishwasher anymore…
3. Steak Etiquette
Putting a prime piece of steak in between two bits of bread is a surefire way to trigger a completely irrational reaction out of me. I didn't just pay $10 for that bit of meat so you could ruin it with flour and water! At least make it into an epic steak sandwich with egg, bacon, fried onion and mushroom and some greens. But just bread? Give it back, you don't deserve it!
Some days I really wonder what my husband sees in me when I'm so hard on him!

text: In a Car Accident? Pain Management Is Not to Be Delayed By Jayne BrowneOctober 27, 20150 Back to HomeTweet An automotive collision can be a traumatic experience and leave those involved with long-term injuries, not to mention lasting psychological damage. Pain management after car accidents is at times trivialized but it is not something to be taken lightly. While injuries due to auto collisions have reduced steadily since the mid-90s, Transport Canada recently reported that we still have over 160,000 injuries related to car accidents every year. Of the many types of injuries sustained in car accidents, there a few very common ones: Head Injuries occur when a driver or passenger involved in a collision bangs their head on a window, the dashboard or steering wheel. These types of injuries can lead to concussions or migraines in the future – or even more severe brain injuries. Back Injuries are just as common and can manifest in the temporary tingling or pain in the arms and legs, or in general muscle weakness throughout the body. Some back injuries may result in acute and subacute back pain, and in very serious circumstances, paralysis. Of all the expected car accident-related injuries, one of the most widely reported is whiplash. Whiplash most often occurs when someone is rear-ended by another car. The sudden movement of the head and neck jerking back can damage the muscles and ligaments in the neck and back. Sometimes swelling is visible, but whiplash usually causes stiffness and pain. The longer whiplash is left untreated, the longer it can linger into the future. When symptoms last for more than six months, it is referred to as 'Whiplash Syndrome' but immediate treatment will reduce the risk of its development. Despite the prevalence of whiplash, it is a very complicated injury and each case is unique to the individual. A Common Misconception One of the most unfortunate myths about car accidents is that low-speed collisions do not have adverse health effects. The human body is very good at masking trauma, therefore pain caused by undiagnosed injuries sustained in car accidents can sometimes manifest well after the accident has occurred. For this reason, it is crucial to see a doctor after a collision, regardless of how one 'feels' immediately following. After a Car Accident: It is important to take note of all symptoms as soon as possible. Be thorough as 'small' symptoms can be part of a bigger problem. If your injuries are not deemed to be severe enough to be taken to a hospital, visit your doctor at the earliest opportunity. Depending on your injury, your doctor can give you a referral to one of many pain care clinics to better assist with diagnosis. As more of these clinics open up in Ontario, waiting times for appointments with specialists are being drastically cut down. Injuries like whiplash do not come up in X-rays but they may be revealed through MRI or CT scans. Chronic pain from whiplash-related injuries can be treated in various ways ranging from pain relief medications to physical therapy to various types of injections (including Botox injections for headaches and migraines). A lack of medical treatment can become a legal issue when dealing with insurance companies, therefore seeing a doctor immediately is critical. Pain management after car accidents will ensure you do not needlessly put yourself through prolonged periods of discomfort and chronic pain. Back to Home

Google is demanding that Microsoft remove its newly launched YouTube app for Windows Phone on the basis that the Redmond-based company did not abide by Google's API terms of usage.
The cease and desist letter requests that Microsoft remove the YouTube app by May 22, with the key complaint being that the Microsoft-developed YouTube app does not show ads inside the YouTube videos. According to Microsoft, the Windows Phone YouTube app was developed by Microsoft without any of Google's input.
Both Google and Microsoft are competing in the mobile space, and access to YouTube on Windows Phone and Android are essential to both the platform's survival and growth. Google wants to maintain its dominance in mobility through Android, but for services like YouTube it goes without saying that the search giant wants to monetize on the popular VoD services through as many platforms as possible.
Microsoft hasn't issued a statement regarding the cease and desist request from Google. Of course we're expecting Microsoft to comply or make the necessary changes to keep both its own Windows Phone users and Google happy.
