My dad, Pete Pihos, passed away in August 2011 after a twelve year battle with Alzheimer's disease.
My dad meant the world to me. He was my hero and I always looked up to him. He was one of the most positive persons I have ever known — larger than life — and he has inspired me in ways that I continue to discover.
His life accomplishments are extraordinary. He is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame because of his tremendous football talent with Indiana University in the 1940's and the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1940's and 1950's. Of the thousands who have been honored to play in the NFL, only a select few are immortalized in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Along with being a gridiron football player, he fought for his country in WWII in the D-Day campaign, putting his college football career on hold to serve his country.
He had four wives and five children, four from his second wife, Cecile, and me from his fourth and final wife, Donna.
In my experience, the most difficult aspect of my dad having Alzheimer's disease was watching him slowly deteriorate from being a strong, independent man to becoming someone who had to depend on others for daily existence.
My mom and dad divorced when I was younger. When he began to show the early symptoms of the disease, my mom, who had remained his friend after the divorce, took him back and took care of him all the way until the end. I am so thankful.
As he descended into the darkest depths of the disease, he remained positive because it was in his nature to do so and he kept his dignity. Though he lost his ability to communicate through speech, to make decisions and to walk, he remained himself deep down.
Dad was still Dad. I could see it in his eyes. He communicated through his heart. Every time I would visit him, he would smile, clap and move his feet to let me know he was happy. I'll never forget that look on his face when I would come into the room, reassuring me that he was happy.
When he first had to move into the nursing home, it was tough to see him confined to a small room. He always lived life to the fullest and he always loved going places. Because of his love of travel, he took me all over, exposing me to new places and cultures. I felt as though his love of life and his free spirit were stifled by the walls of this room.
I used to cry after every visit because I knew the disease would only progress and he would not be able to come home. Of course in the early stages, I had no idea what was in store for me emotionally. Each stage of the disease hit me like a ton of bricks.
I had to adapt to each complication. The crying times came less often because I had to keep a smile on for Dad. He never wanted to see me upset. I tried my best not to let him know how worried I was about him and how sad I was that I was losing him. He somehow remained in tuned to my feelings and my moods.
In the beginning, he never wanted to come to terms with the disease or even to admit that anything was wrong. It took him awhile to finally submit to letting others take care of him. He had so much pride that it was difficult for him to let someone provide for him when he had spent his entire life providing for others.
My life and my outlook on life shifted as he moved into each stage of the disease. Relationships within my life changed. Certain trivial aspects of life that used to seem so important no longer did. I realized who my true friends were and who really cared.
I had a tough time adjusting to the many emotions that are associated with those dealing with Alzheimer's disease: sadness, despair, loneliness, fear and anger. I felt broken inside and I was not sure how to fix it. I felt very alone!
I was fortunate enough to be in graduate school while Dad was slipping into the severe stages so I was able to spend more time with him. I began to wonder about who my Dad was prior to the disease. He was 51 years old when I was born so I only knew him during the latter half of his life.
As I look back, I wish I had not waited so long to get to know about his earlier years. I waited too long and it was to the point that he could no longer tell me his stories himself. I was filled with sorrow over this. I came to terms with this by deciding to research and rediscover his life.
Perhaps I was trying to keep his memories alive as they were slowly fading. Perhaps I was trying to find a way to connect with him because our relationship and our connection with each other was changing.
I was working on my graduate MFA in Choreography and one requirement was to develop and present an original MFA Thesis Performance. I decided to reflect on his life and to draw on his story creatively. A faculty member recommended that I take a documentary film course to help me find approaches to tell his story.
In this class, I created the film, Dear Dad, which turned out to be a conduit for channeling my sorrow and connecting it to keeping Dad's memory alive through my creative and artistic abilities.
According to a newspaper article, "The film explores the effects of Alzheimer's by juxtaposing photos and footage of her father from his days as a player for the Philadelphia Eagles, during the late 1940s to mid-1950s, with images of him today. But it's the relationship between Pihos and her father –– illustrated through pictures and letters, most notably one written by her father after her parents' divorce –– that proved especially poignant for the filmmaker and her audiences." (goTriad June 2009).
With much surprise, Dear Dad has screened in film festivals across the U.S and has won some awards. With all the film footage I had collected from making Dear Dad, I decided to create the evening length performance MFA Thesis concert titled PIHOS: A Moving Biography, which combined film and dance choreography, exploring aspects of my Dad's life: the murder of his father, his football career, WWII, his 4 wives and family, teammates and his ultimate battle with Alzheimer's disease.
I immersed myself in this creative outlet. I filmed Dad almost every visit, capturing the disease in its various stages and capturing unforgettable days when he was so clear. I traveled to places where Dad had lived, first starting at the libraries in these places, uncovering newspaper articles.
I set up interviews with people representing various times in his life revealing who he was as a man, a friend, a player, a teammate. I interviewed Coach Mike Ditka, Al Wistert, Bill Mackrides and Pat Summerall. I learned what an amazing person Dad was and that he was admired by many people.
When dealing with a loved one who has Alzheimer's disease or any terminal illness, loved ones should try to spend as much time with them as possible no matter how difficult it can be. Even though they cannot communicate, they know you are there. Touch can be more important than speech.
I learned a lot about my Dad which helped me cope with the fact that his memories of who he was and the relationship we had were fading. It is important to me now to be able to keep his memories alive even after he passed.
Creating, and then performing, PIHOS: A Moving Biography helped me to maintain the normal relationship with my dad through his memories, his stories, and my reflections of us. Even though our "Alzheimer's" relationship was something different, I could still connect to him through this work as well as being able to connect with myself.
I went from being absolutely devastated to having hope. Hope is crucial when dealing with a terminal illness, whatever hope means in your life.
As for me, I hoped that each day was not too difficult for him. I hoped he felt some sort of comfort.
This is not just about my dad, me and our relationship. I hope it will help others. Perhaps somehow, someone can connect to this in some way. Perhaps it will give a greater understanding of Alzheimer's.
Maybe it will help someone not feel so alone.
Editorial Note: The performance of PIHOS: A Moving Biography will go on tour as an Alzheimer's Benefit Event in the summer of 2012 — in Charlotte, NC (June 2, 1012) Winston-Salem, NC (June 23, 2012), Philadelphia, PA (June 19, 2012) and New York City, NY (July 30, 2012).

President Barack Obama's middle name, Hussein, can influence the way he is perceived by Israelis, a new study found.
Researchers at the University of Haifa and University of Texas found that when Obama's middle name was used to identify him, Israelis saw him as less pro-Israel.
Results of the study, which was published in the journal Political Behavior, were announced Sept. 19 in a news release.
"Even though the Israeli public has extensive information about the American President and his positions, their opinions can still be swayed by cultural cues, such as a name that in this case is perceived as Arabic," said the University of Haifa's Israel Waismel-Manor, a co-author of the study, in the news release.
For the study, groups of Israeli Jewish students and Israeli Arab students were shown a news clip of Obama speaking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Half of each group saw a video in which the president was identified in a caption as "President Barack Obama" and the other half saw him identified as "President Barack Hussein Obama."
Both the Israeli Arabs and Israeli Jews who viewed the video with his middle name saw the president as less pro-Israel than did their counterparts who watched the video that omitted his middle name. — jta

Three of New Zealand's most senior judges will today hear a rare appeal against a home-detention sentence imposed on a young Hawke's Bay father for assaults in which he broke his infant daughter's legs.
The 12-month sentence, which was to be served at the flat of a new girlfriend, was imposed on James Robert Hall in the High Court in Napier in August.
He had pleaded guilty to two charges of causing grievous bodily harm relating to incidents leading to the girl's admission to Hawke's Bay Hospital in March last year, when she was just 4 months old.
One represented reckless disregard for the child's safety in a number of incidents in the first few months of her life.
The second charge stated intent to injure in the incident which resulted in the admission to hospital.
Shocked staff found both the girl's thigh bones broken and an older fracture of the left tibia.
Hall, aged 18 at the time and now 20, admitted that when alone with the child in his care he would grab her foot and bend her leg up her back.
According to police, he had said that once or twice it was in anger, but while he meant to hurt the girl he was not realising what he was doing.
Crown prosecutor Russell Collins asked Justice Mary Peters for a sentence calculated from a "starting point" of four years. But defence counsel Scott Jefferson argued home detention was possible if the judge used a starting point of 2 years and applied appropriate deduction for Hall's youth and acknowledgement of guilt, which meant there was no need for a trial.
Justice Peters applied the deductions and, considering a need for Hall to be earning an income to help support his daughter, took the potential jail sentence below a two-year threshhold, enabling the consideration of home detention, which has been a sentence available to judges in New Zealand since the start of a pilot project in 1995.
Amid widespread public condemnation, an appeal by the Solicitor General against the sentence was lodged and will be argued today by representatives of the Crown Law Office before the three Justices in the Court of Appeal in Wellington.
A spokesperson for the office said for such an appeal to be lodged it needed to be considered that the sentence was manifestly inadequate. There were only nine such appeals in the year to June 30 this year, and only 16 in the previous year.

I wore this out to the MUA Love Hearts Launch last night and got so many compliments on the Butterfly shirt that I thought I had better blog about it quick smart!
Matalan! It's so cute. I adore the butterfly print and the black contrasting collar is the perfect bold detail against the girly print. The nails are from MUA at Superdrug – the brand new Love Hearts Collection.
I popped my TK Maxx Uber bargain Just Cavalli jacket over the top – a clash of stripes and prints. We can get away with anything these days!
I finished off the outfit with my Dorothy Perkins wet look leggings and my Topshop boots.
The shirt is amazing! The only thing is that it does tend to gape across the chest a bit, even though it is my normal size. So if you're going to get one and you have boobs, think about going up a size.
Do you ever shop in Matalan?

Los Angeles-based cassette label Leaving Records has announced a new partnership with fellow L.A. tastemakers Stones Throw to release Dual Form, a special double cassette compilation that will feature new songs from Leaving-affiliated artists like Julia Holter, Dntel and Sun Araw. While the cassettes will serve as a valuable primer for those unfamiliar with the label, the collection will also only feature new, original material by each artist. You can sample one of those tracks, the Cyclist's "Visions," below.
The Cyclist – Visions by Stones Throw Records
As part of the new partnership between the labels, Stones Throw will be distributing the debut record from Liverpool's the Cyclist early next year.
Leaving Records began as a partnership between producer Matthewdavid and visual artist Jesselisa Moretti in 2009, and has seen its profile rise in the last couple years as it has continued to release an eclectic mix of hip-hop, ambient music, psych-pop and more. The Dual Form compilation will be released on cassette on November 6 and on vinyl/CD on January 22.

No problem for me, I pay for mine she pays for hers .
Attachment 34024
Anyone have to make "the pitch" to your wife about why you should buy a Harley? Any strategies that worked/failed/recommended/don't do unless you are tired of life?
My wife is onboard so long as the money involved doesn't affect the family which I honestly thought was fair enough. I've already made some concessions that were easy enough that will more than make up for a $175 a month Harley payment. But I thought I would ask, out of curiousity, what other guys have been through.
Yeah, yeah, I know some of you dudes on here just put your foot down and laid down the law and others of you have wives that are more hard-core about riding than you are - count your lucky stars. But for the rest of us "normal" guys who have wives that make as much money as we do, have a college education like we do, are on more even footing in the marriage, and could probably care less about something like a Harley, how did you handle the big discussion?
Not a water-proof case for the finances of buying a Harley, but should soften the finances a bit. My vehicle is a Ford F-150, and it gets apr. 18 mpg. At $4/gal it costs me about $60/week commuting to work. The Harley gets 42 mpg and only costs me about $20/week to commute. Living in Colorado i can commute on the bike about 3/4 of the year, or 39 weeks. A $40/week difference for 39 weeks saves me $1560 a year in gas, which means up to $130/month of motorcycle payment is already paid for out of money that would have gone towards gas. Obviously this is a more effective justification if you live somewhere you can commute year round, less effective if you can't use the bike for as many months, and completely pointless if you can't use the bike for commuting. Saddlebags and cold weather gear are highly recommended to compliment this strategy... As it was 28 degrees this morning when I headed into the office, and if I wear my cold weather stuff on the way home this afternoon I might drown in a pool of my own sweat. Hope this helps and good luck

Floating Base to Submarines Idled by U.S. Budget Impasse
The Navy wants to buy a ship that serves as a floating base, an asset when allies won't welcome U.S. troops on their turf or a natural disaster prevents operations ashore.
General Dynamics Corp. (GD) and its San Diego shipyard are waiting for the contract. It won't come until Congress approves a budget with more than $560 million in funding for the project -- and that isn't likely to happen anytime soon.
Billions of dollars in helicopter to submarine construction are in limbo because lawmakers have failed to pass a budget for the fiscal year that began Oct. 1. As long as the Pentagon operates under a temporary spending bill, it can't start new programs or boost production levels.
The paralysis has slowed the military's investments in national-security priorities and delayed work to contractors whose sales and staffs already are shrinking due to federal spending reductions. The companies may be forced to cut more jobs if Congress doesn't pass a budget.
"My crystal ball is fogged," Mike Petters, chief executive officer of Newport News, Virginia-based Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. (HII), said in an interview. "I don't yet see a path that makes any sense to me. If you're fighting these crises every two or three or four months, how does the nation ever make more strategic decisions?"
'Ripple Effect'
House and Senate negotiators are trying to come up with a spending bill for the remainder of the year that may ease some of the automatic spending cuts known as sequestration. Their deadline for an agreement is Dec. 13.
The stopgap funding measure expires Jan. 15. If there's no agreement, the government might shut down for the second time in less than four months, leading to more contracting delays.
"The ripple effect seems to go on and on," said Mark Amtower, who runs Amtower & Co., a government contracting consulting firm in Clarksville, Maryland.
Amtower said he didn't expect things to return to normal until early next year -- and that prediction assumes that Congress will pass legislation to fund the government for the remainder of the year.
While the current temporary spending bill reopened the government after a 16-day partial shutdown in October, it is a budget bandage that generally prohibits agencies from starting programs and increasing production levels during the prior year.
Labor Force
Companies face higher costs because they need to keep skilled workers on their payrolls while waiting for the contracts, said Wes Bush, chief executive officer of Falls Church, Virginia-based Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC) If they don't retain those employees, they lack the expertise when the government wants the work done, he said.
"This silliness intended to save money ends up costing the taxpayers more," Bush said in an interview.
The Defense Department is disproportionately affected because the agency represents more than two-thirds of the roughly $500 billion federal contracting market.
The delays have affected contractor Huntington Ingalls, which is building nuclear-powered Virginia-class attack submarines with Falls Church, Virginia-based General Dynamics.
Attack Submarines
A contract to build the next 10 subs is on hold because the continuing resolution prevents the Navy from beginning new projects, Petters said. Each submarine costs about $2.7 billion, according to the Congressional Research Service.
Also postponed is the floating base. For the Navy, the ship is a low-cost way to support special operations forces, mine-sweeping efforts, and disaster-relief responses without tying up a more expensive aircraft carrier or stationing troops where a U.S. presence might spark unrest or terrorist attacks, said Loren Thompson, a defense analyst with the Lexington Institute, an Arlington, Virginia-based research organization.
The ship could even be used to ferry troops into combat zones, said Thompson, who also consults for companies.
"In major combat operations, this could be a cheap way of keeping troops offshore until they hit the beaches," he said. "This is an alternative to sending Marines crashing through the waves onto hostile beaches."
With accommodations for 250 personnel and "a huge helicopter flight deck," the ship "will provide a highly capable and affordable asset to the Navy and Marine Corps," according to a General Dynamics description of the program.
Border Surveillance
The delays aren't limited to the Pentagon.
The Department of Homeland Security has pushed back the award of a border-surveillance contract valued at as much as $1 billion because of the shutdown and the temporary spending bill, according to an agency notice posted on a federal website.
Both General Dynamics and Blagnac, France-based European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co. are interested in the work, according to Brian Friel, a Bloomberg Industries analyst.
Rob Doolittle, a spokesman for General Dynamics, declined to comment on the contracting delays.
For many companies, it's a waiting game. On the defense side, EADS (EAD) wants to know how many new UH-72 Lakota helicopters it can build for the Army and National Guard. While the original multiyear acquisition plan called for 31 helicopters at an estimated cost of $231 million for the current fiscal year, Obama's budget proposed spending $96 million on 10.
The House voted to fund all 31, and the Senate is discussing money for no more than 20.
EADS won't be able to plan ahead until lawmakers agree.
Small Business
The choppers are being built at a plant in Columbus, Mississippi, about 60 miles west of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The long-term future of the plant and its 300 employees -- more than half of them military veterans -- hinge on how many helicopters will be built, said James Darcy, an EADS spokesman.
"Absorbing that uncertainty at the corporate level is one thing," Darcy said. "But there are individuals having to deal with that uncertainty. This is on your mind every night when you go home."
The budget squeeze weighs heavier on smaller companies, which often don't have the cash and credit lines of big contractors. They want to know in advance whether they need to buy equipment and hire employees for their share of major contracts, said Anne Shybunko, president of closely held GSE Dynamics Inc., based in Hauppauge, New York.
"You need to keep us steady with work," said Shybunko, whose company makes parts for aircraft such as Boeing Co. (BA)'s KC-135 refueling tanker and Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT)'s C-5 cargo plane. "Right now, the supply base is diminishing."
F-35 Jets
Navy officials have said the continuing resolution is likely to limit or delay purchases of the F-35 jet and a military transport plane made by Bethesda, Maryland-based Lockheed.
The worst will come if Congress can't pass a bill to fund the government after Jan. 15 and instead enacts another continuing resolution at lower spending levels, Admiral Jonathan Greenert told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Nov. 7.
Under that scenario, the Navy won't award contracts for the floating base or the Virginia-class submarine during the fiscal year, Greenert said.
The Navy also would have to cancel some purchases of F-35s, Northrop's E-2D Hawkeye aircraft, and United Technologies Corp. (UTX)'s MH-60 Seahawk helicopters, Greenert told lawmakers.
Job Cuts
Any future continuing resolution will have to include a clause allowing new projects, said Robert Levinson, a Bloomberg Government defense analyst. Otherwise, the government risks breaking contracts only to renegotiate them at higher prices.
Defense cuts may accelerate a decline in revenue for contractors as long-term procurement contracts end and aren't renewed at the same levels. Lockheed Martin, the biggest U.S. contractor, announced Nov. 14 it was cutting its workforce by 4,000 positions in response to decreased federal spending.
"The trajectory here is one where the defense budgets overall will contract," said Roger Zakheim, former general counsel for the House Armed Services Committee and now at the law and lobbying firm Covington & Burling LLP. "You're going to see workforce reductions as one way for industry to try to cope and return a value to their shareholders. That trend will continue."

Mr Howard yesterday said he would ask the agencies to explain why they withheld doubts over the allegations, but that he retained full confidence in Australia's intelligence community.
The senior spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs yesterday confirmed it also had information in late January which cast doubts on the uranium claims, but these were not passed on to Foreign Minister Alexander Downer.
Other evidence supposedly supported the uranium claims, but the spokesman refused to detail it, referring further questions to the ONA. The ONA refused to respond to calls.
In a major speech to Parliament on February 4, Mr Howard quoted British intelligence that Iraq had sought to buy uranium from Niger.
The claims have since been discredited.
Mr Howard has maintained there was other evidence for this claim and that doubts would not have altered his stance on Iraq.
He said it would have been better if ONA had told him of the doubts before his speech on February 4, but did not accept the public was misled.
"I apologise if I mislead people," he told 3AW yesterday. "I don't accept that I deliberately misled people."
Labor foreign affairs spokesman Kevin Rudd said there was now a clear pattern to show the Government was prepared to be loose with the truth.
"From tonight's DIO revelation we know virtually the entire Australian intelligence community back in January 2003 knew the claims used by John Howard in February 2003 about Iraq's nuclear weapons program were lacking in credibility."
In Washington, CBS television said the White House ignored a CIA request to remove the uranium claim from President George Bush's State of the Union address in January.

that's exactly what a capacitor is supposed to do: it stores energy while the voltage is available, and put that energy back in the circuit when the voltage drops (as in you removing the fuse). In essence, it's working like a very small battery. The bigger the capacitor, the longer it will be able to hold the voltage. That is why you see those huge canisters (the size of two beer cans stacked on top of each other) used by high powered audio installers. When a particular low frequency note demands more power than the battery can supply, the capacitors pitch in with their stored energy and the voltage holds constant instead of dropping and distorting all other frequencies.

"True Hollywood Stories: Rick James" is 10 Years Old
On February 11, 2004 (ten years ago) an episode of Chappelle's Show aired on Comedy Central. This episode featured Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories. The subject was Charlie's run-ins with Rick James.
The sketch is probably the greatest from the show, which makes it one of the best comedy sketches of all time. There are TONS of quotable moments.
Enjoy. (Also, these are the uncensored versions. Be prepared for that.)

Community Benefit
Mountain States provided $92 million in community benefit in 2013
The annual economic impact of Mountain States operations exceeds $1.3 billion, but there are other even more direct ways that the health system supports the communities it serves. Mountain States officials released figures for fiscal year 2013 demonstrating a direct community benefit of more than $92 million resulting from the organization's status as a community-based, not-for-profit health system.
"As a not-for-profit health system, our shareholders are the community," said Alan Levine, president and CEO of Mountain States. "It is important we be good stewards of these assets, while also ensuring we support the needs of the people who call this home. Whether it be providing access to care for people who cannot pay, or investing in services for people to help them lead healthier lives, we are incredibly pleased to fulfill this important obligation of our stewardship."
Part of Mountain States' mission as a not-for-profit health system is to serve people who cannot afford to pay for their care. This includes people who have no health insurance and people whose insurance does not completely cover the cost of their care. The total unreimbursed care provided by Mountain States was $62,187,835. This included $20,641,266 of charity care – free care provided to people who do not have insurance and cannot afford health care. It also included losses from caring for patients insured by Medicaid and TennCare, which pays hospitals and other providers about 65 percent of what it costs to provide care. The unreimbursed care provided to Medicaid and TennCare patients amounted to $41,546,569.
The health system also provided nearly $5 million in community health improvement services, such as the health education classes and seminars offered to the public free of charge through the Health Resources Centers in Johnson City and Kingsport, and the Respond hotline, offering 24/7 help for individuals experiencing mental health crises. The total amount of these and other community health improvement services was $4,915,162.
As a teaching health system, Mountain States is also committed to helping educate the next generation of doctors and other health care professionals. Mountain States hospitals work with East Tennessee State University, the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine and the LMU-DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine to provide training and residency opportunities for medical students, as well as training opportunities for the ETSU College of Nursing and ESTU College of Pharmacy. The total cost of providing this health professions education was $11,959,474. Mountain States also participates in and provides funding for a number of medical research initiatives, at a cost of $134,204.
The community also enjoys access to a number of health services that would not exist on their own, because they don't bring in enough revenue to cover the cost of providing the service. This includes rural health clinics like the St. Paul Clinic in Lebanon, Va., and the Johnson County Community Hospital Specialty Clinic in Mountain City, Tenn.; as well as mental health services like those provided at Woodridge Hospital in Johnson City. These subsidized health services and others amounted to $12,838,812.
Recognizing that many other organizations in the community also provide critical health care services that have a significant impact and broad reach, Mountain States also provides contributions to help those organizations carry out their missions. This includes support of the March of Dimes, the American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen For the Cure, the American Heart Association, the Health Wagon, various Boys & Girls Clubs and the United Way. Contributions to these and other health promotion programs totaled $407,861.
In all, Mountain States provided $92,443,348 of community benefit in fiscal 2013, which amounted to more than 10 percent of the health system's functional expenditures.

We landed in Johor Bahru at about 11pm, and immediately looked around for the best way to get to Singapore, where we would be spending a day and a night before flying to Bali. That time of night, one's options for cross-border transport are pretty limited, and we found a British pair who were willing to share a very expensive taxi. However, after a few more enquiries, we were advised that there were, in fact, some buses running - no doubt a cheaper option, but a bit more hassle.
And so we embarked on a marathon border-crossing effort - we took a bus to a Johor bus station, and from there (with the help of a local) hopped in cabs for the ten minute ride to the border. After clearing Malaysian immigration, it was back onto another bus for the short ride across the Causeway to Singaporean immigration. And then after queuing and being stamped in there, we piled onto a third bus for the ride to Singapore's main bus station. Thank God we realised that this bus passed within two blocks of our hotel in Little India, so we were spared a long walk or another cab ride. PHEW! By the time we checked in, it was 2am.
Returning to Singapore felt like taking a breather on familiar turf - we had stopped over a month before, on our way to Malaysia. On Monday morning, we took a few hours to do some necessary shopping, posting of parcels, emailing etc, and then headed into the colonial district for a wander. On our previous visit, we hadn't really explored the historical riverfront heart of Singapore, so this time around we strolled along the waterside walk, gazing at 'the Durian' (iconic, bizarrely shaped new theatre complex) and over to the city skyline, then walked along the river down Boat Quay, lined with bars and restaurants. After a refreshing pint at a wonderful micro-brewery pub, we strolled along Clark Quay on the north side of the river. By now, it was dark and the city was all lit up - a lovely sight. We returned to Little India for our favourite curry meal at a small informal restaurant.
On Tuesday morning we embarked on our convoluted transfer to Bali. Though direct flights from Singapore to Denpasar are probably only three and a half hours or so, it took us the whole day to get there: thanks to our Cathay Pacific connections, we had to fly a few hours north to Hong Kong, and then back south again for eight hours to Bali! Crazy, but it's free, so we can't complain. When you're travelling, there's nothing quite as useless as an entire day spent in airports and on planes... but at least we caught up on reading papers and Times magazine. We arrived in Bali about 9pm... the start of our Indonesian adventure!

Franchise Association Names Junk Removal Founder as Entrepreneur of the Year
For immediate release:
Contact: Terry Hill, 202-628-8000
WASHINGTON, D.C., Feb. 11 – Founder and CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Brian Scudamore was today recognized by the International Franchise Association as Entrepreneur of the Year during its 48th annual convention being conducted at the Marriott World Center in Orlando.
IFA, founded nearly 50 years ago, first bestowed this award in 1982 to distinguish individuals who are building successful franchised businesses that have been in existence for at least three years. The association's members operate in more than 80 industries and in more than 100 countries.
"The IFA is the world's largest and most trusted franchise association and an integral resource for franchise businesses across the globe," said Brain Scudamore, Founder and CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK?. "It's a great honor to be recognized with this distinguished award by such a reputable organization."
When he was 18, Brian Scudamore invested $700 in an old pickup truck and founded The Rubbish Boys, a company that 10 years later became 1-800-GOT-JUNK? As CEO of the Vancouver-based company, Scudamore began franchising his brand and in just five years guided the company to expand to more than 275 franchise locations. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? is now the world's largest franchised junk removal service with more than 330 locations in three countries, 45 U.S. states and nine Canadian provinces.
Scudamore's public relations tactics drove his business to its current success. While creating brand awareness for his company he also generated a positive awareness for franchising. As CEO, he mentors thousands of franchisees and prospective franchise entrepreneurs. The company's corporate headquarters, the Junktion, hosts weekly tours of the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? business model and offers a question and answer session guided by Scudamore himself.
In addition to being featured in more than 4,000 news stories for its successes, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? has received numerous honors. Scudamore was inducted into the Young President's Organization in 2004, served on the board of the Young Entrepreneurs Organization, won the Fortune Small Business Best Bosses Award and was a finalist in the 2007 Ernst and Young's Entrepreneur of the Year award. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? participates in IFA's VetFran program, an initiative designed to aid veterans in acquiring franchises; and Scudamore is a member of the IFA's Franchisor Forum.

Just a Head's Up: Our Server Needs a Kick in the Ass. Shouldn't Take But an Hour.
Just so there's no confusion, beginning at 7 tonight you won't be able to post comments to Unfair Park. Our crack IT staff informs me this outage will last no longer than 30 minutes -- but they said Tuesday night's maintenance outage would last no more than an hour or two, and it went till the wee small hours of Wednesday morning and didn't do much to correct our server issues keeping us from posting items at present. (This item here is but a brief break in the inaction, trust me.) So, fingers crossed.
When service is restored, I'll delete this item and pretend the whole thing never happened. At least, till it happens again tomorrow. And if this is the last thing I ever post to Unfair Park, I love you all. Yes, even you.
Oh, and so I'm not completely useless, here's Will Leitch's Texas Rangers preview posted today to Deadspin. Actually, it's a Texas Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux what-do-he-do:
Rangers general manager Jon Daniels, who has turned the franchise around before his 33rd birthday, says Maddux is "the most prepared and the best communicator," which sounds like corporate speak to me: I half expect Daniels to congratulate Maddux on his ability to think outside the box and not jump to conclusions. But maybe that's it: Maybe the job of pitching coach is such a fungible, mercurial one that someone who shows up and treats it like an actual job, with charts and graphs and tendencies and scary Excel documents, really can make a difference. Maddux appears to have wanted to be a pitching coach since early in his career, and his strength appears to be "understanding the art of pitching." This seems like a corollary to the What Makes A Good Manager formula: Being a substandard player who spent a lot of time on the bench. Those who can't do, teach.

With a bunch of crazy but cute creatures and lots of laughs along the way, The Lorax is a fast-moving film with a strange mix of settings and messages, but of course that's not out of place in a Seussian world.
We meet Ted Wiggins (voice of Zac Efron) who lives in Thneed-Ville, a city where everything is synthetic. The town is concealed from the abandoned real world by a great wall, and no one ever ventures out.
The girl of Ted's dreams (Taylor Swift) wants nothing more than to have a real tree, so Ted sets off on a quest that leads him to the Once-ler (Ed Helms) who tells him the strange tale of the Lorax (Danny DeVito), the guardian spirit of the forest who speaks for the trees. And Ted's grandma (Betty White) is absolutely priceless,
Dr Seuss intended this story to be about environmental awareness, so that is a key point in the film. However, it is also about big business and greed, about making mistakes and setting them right, and about what a 12-year-old boy with a crush will do to get the girl.
Somehow, I doubt the musical parts will sit well with the adults in the audience - I'm a bit worried that my little ones will be singing the annoying song Let it Grow for another week or so.
Although it wasn't always clear what The Lorax was all about, the children didn't seem to mind.
This is animation at its best, great in 3D, and a fantastic option for a bit of fun during the school holidays.

Support the Small Business Tax Equalization and Compliance Act
The Small Business Tax Equalization and Compliance Act, known commonly in the beauty industry as the FICA Tip Tax Fairness legislation, would extend the current 45(b) FICA tax credit to salon/spa owners - a credit granted to restaurant owners in 1993 - while providing equality and increased compliance for America's small businesses in the salon/spa industry.
Like the restaurant industry, salon/spa professionals receive a significant amount of their income through tips, which by law must be reported as income. Salon/spa owners do NOT receive any of this tip income, yet are required to pay taxes on it: Beauty industry employers are responsible for paying the 7.65% FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes on all employee income, including customer-paid tips. While the restaurant and salon/spa industries share tip reporting burdens, salon owners continue to shoulder the added burden of paying FICA taxes on the tip income of their employees. Along with ensuring tax fairness, the FICA credit could help offset administrative costs associated with ensuring employee compliance on reporting tips and allow business owners to reinvest in their business and employees.
Overall, salon industry job growth outperformed the overall economy in 11 of the last 14 years. The salon industry proudly provides long-term careers with significant potential for training and upward mobility. Additionally, the salon industry is one of America's most diverse industries. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the salon industry employs a higher proportion of women than the overall U.S. workforce. Passage of this bill would allow salon/spa owners to hire more employees, pay for advanced training and certification, and provide health care benefits and so many more possibilities for growth.
The Small Business Tax Equalization and Compliance Act is the professional beauty industry's opportunity to gain tax fairness through a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on all FICA taxes paid on employees tips.

Top-Played Songs on 102.7 KORD this month.
Having the biggest country music scandal of any year is an honor that comes with few congratulatory messages, so it seems unlikely many will be showered upon Jason Aldean for winning at the 2012 Taste of Country Awards. His night out with dancer and former 'American Idol' contestant Brittany Kerr was named the Scandal of the Year by Taste of Country readers.
Top-Played Songs on 102.7 KORD this month.
Jason Aldean and his wife, Jessica, are on the mend following a very public scandal, the couple tells 'CBS This Morning.'
The Entertainer of the Year award at the 2012 CMA Awards will provide a nervous moment, as fans for the two favorites to win couldn't be further apart in terms of interests or tastes. The trophy is meant to honor the singer with the best year of sales, music, touring and general exposure, but really it comes down to who CMA voters like best. It's not as scientific as it seems it should be, although our prediction is based on hard data.
When you hear of country artists selling out stadiums and arenas in record time, it is usually a short list of names you hear repeatedly: Kenny Chesney, Taylor Swift and Garth Brooks, for the most part. Now, you can add Jason Aldean to that illustrious list.
Jason Aldean doesn't have a problem asking pop-country vocalist and former 'American Idol' winner Kelly Clarkson to sing a duet with him, or performing his hit 'Dirt Road Anthem' with rapper Ludacris, for that matter. The 'Night Train' star is well aware that his musical risks have led to some criticism from country purists, but he has a clear message to those who think he is doing country music a disservice: He doesn't care.
If four or five songs from Jason Aldean's new 'Night Train' album reach No. 1, does that mean it's indisputably a great country music record? This seems likely to happen -- the hits are there and Aldean is red hot right now -- yet from top to bottom, the singer's fifth project leaves one wanting some magic never felt before.
Brittany Kerr, the former 'American Idol' contestant who got an extension of her 15 minutes of fame due to a public indiscretion with country superstar Jason Aldean that was caught on tape, has been offered the opportunity to star in a reality show.
Jason Aldean is starting off the week back at the top slot on the country singles chart with his latest hit, 'Take a Little Ride.' The tune takes over the No. 1 spot on the Billboard charts, leaping from No. 3 where it was positioned last week.
Jason Aldean should start counting down the days to October 16, when the singer's next album, 'Night Train,' will be ready for the purchasing. Unfortunately, that's still a few months away. But the good news is, fans of the 'Fly Over States' hitmaker can get a sneak peek of his new tunes when he takes them to the internet through David Letterman's 'Live on Letterman' webcast.

Complicating the grieving process for responsible, upper-middle class Becca is the news that bottle-blonde, leopard-print Izzy, notorious for scandal and excess, is now pregnant herself. The timing, as Izzy concedes, "sucks." Plus, these two sisters are your classic sororal Odd Couple: They know and love each other intimately, but are about as opposite as dramatically possible. Izzy's brassy Noo Yawk accent is glaring against her sister's cultivated voice, and when they talk, their exchanges are chockablock with criticism — barely veiled (and sometimes stark naked) needling, judgements, and accusations about each other's characters and behavior. Both the script and performances of Poirier and Kimball make the sisters' tension acute and absolutely delectable. They are a total hoot. "I like how it oozes," Izzy says of Becca's perfect crème caramel. "Of course you do," Becca replies, with just a dollop of subtext.
Becca and Howie, naturally, suffer from an even stronger tension, and are also far less available to each other as sources of comfort. They are completely out of synch in their respective grieving processes — Howie goes to group therapy, watches old home videos, and wants to keep Danny's room intact; Becca quit therapy, keeps busy boxing things up, and wants to sell their now too-big house (Craig Robinson's open set does a nicely understated job of suggesting their unflashy affluence and quiet good taste). Poirier and Rubin play off each other powerfully, and make their growing disconnection painfully tangible. Their characters' individual arcs of grief, beautifully wrought by both actors, progress at different speeds and rates of change, never meeting in a common place, and their scenes together are hard on the heartstrings.
Luckily, all this misery is tempered by some exceptionally funny family comedy. Each woman of this family has a very sharp, and very different, comic sense: Becca is rather arch, Izzy brash and take-no-prisoners. And then there's Nat. No-nonsense, simple, outrageous, and insufferable, especially once she's had a few glasses, Mom rambles on in comic-relief tirades that any character actor would die for. What a pleasure for us that she's in the hands of the wonderful Tootie Van Reenen, who's heightened Nat's outrageousness with a smart dead-pan and killer timing. Her extended treatise on the many Kennedys who have died in or escaped from airplanes ("The Kennedys are not cursed. They're just really unlucky. And kind of stupid, a lot of them.") is worth the price of admission. But she also does a marvelous, subtle job of balancing Nat's intolerable qualities with ones that are matter-of-fact, wise, and empathetic.

Category: best baby names
There are names I loved when I was a kid: Sandy and Lisa, Michael and David (yes, really).
And then there were names I loved when I was naming my babies: Eliza and Henry, Ned and Daisy.
Now there are names that I've only come to love recently, for a range of reasons. Leonora, for instance, and Ozias. Raymond, and Rosamund.
What are your newfound baby name loves?
I mean names that you either didn't like or that weren't even on your radar before. Names that sound better (much better) to you now than they used to, either because styles have changed or your tastes have.
I love the name Sophia.
I love the sound, soft but strong, familiar yet exotic. I love the meaning, "wisdom." I love the fact that famous Sophias include both an ancient goddess and a modern sex symbol.
Sophia, the Number 1 girls' name is just too dang popular.
What name do you love in every way, except for that big, fat but that would keep you from ever using it?
The otherwise-wonderful name's fatal flaw may not be popularity but weirdness, pronunciation difficulties, or the fact that your sister just used it for her own child. Or a thousand other issues, any of which we hope you'll share with us.
So, what name do you love, BUT…..
Name your price for our revolutionary new 500-page baby name guide, The Nameberry Guide to the Very Best Baby Names. For a limited time. On the Nameberry website only.
Go here to pay what you want and download the new ebook in formats readable via computer, Kindle, iPad, and other devices — your choice. Just like the price. And just like your baby's name.
Name your price for The Nameberry Guide to the Very Best Baby Names. Click here to buy and download now. And please tell all your friends about our new book and our promotion!
How much do you like your own name?
Quantitatively, we mean. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest of the low (in my book, Ethelbert) and 10 being the most wonderful gorgeous amazing name in the universe, what number do you give your own name?
As baby namers and name afficionados, it's intrinsically interesting to analyze our own names. Rating your own name can also help you think about what qualities you want in a name for your child. And reading how other people feel about their names over time can help you make a better informed choice of a name for your baby.
I'd rate my own name, Pamela, maybe a 6, but Pam only a 4.5. Pamela is pretty and has literary credibility, I think, though I've always found it a bit prissy and precious for use in everyday life. Pam is definitely friendlier, but also plain vanilla and time-stamped to the middle of the last century, when Pamela and its down-to-earth nickname were in the Top 20 for girls' names.
Your turn!
It was the headline that caught our eye:
I think that Paul has been ignored long enough!, wrote our longtime friend and berry Rollo on the message boards.
Rollo goes on to make the case for Paul's wonderfulness, which made us wonder which other now-dormant or widely-ignored names people might champion for greater attention.
What one name would you singlehandedly and magically bring back (or introduce to the wider world, if it's a new name), if you could?
You may have noticed an updated and improved feature on Nameberry recently: Most name pages now include a list of other suggested names.
If you like the unusual Welsh name Cadogan, for instance, you might also like Harrington, Lanier, and Adonis (really?) for boys, and Arianwen and Delancey for girls.
Or at least, according to millions of name ratings, other people who liked Cadogan also liked Harrington and Arianwen and the others.
I've become, okay, kind of obsessed with these name relationships, partly because they seem uncannily accurate and partly because they can be so surprising. Clicking through on a trail of names I like, I've discovered lots of new selections that I also like but may not have considered before.

Sora no Otoshimono Forte 08 — How do I fail adaptations?
I'm mad.
I'm seriously bloody mad.
I am seriously angry at how they concluded this arc.
I mean, they fucking left out the single most heartwarming scene of this arc in the show. What is this I don't even
At least Astraea got her Crowning Moment of Awesome properly.
Still, EPIC FUCKING FAIL for losing out at the ending.

The other 11 who burrowed out of the world's largest walled prison with them Saturday night were back behind bars. Seven were captured within hours after the spectacular break from the penitentiary at Jackson. Another, cold and hungry, gave up there last night. Jackson is 80 miles west of Detroit. Police today captured in Detroit three of the five fugitives remain- ing at large. The three apprehended fugitives were identified as Edward J. Emric, Virgil Lane and Daniel B. Bousha. Police said Bousha, Emrick and Lane would be taken to headquart- ers for questioning on the where- abouts of Roman Usiondek, 37, and Robert Dowling, 33, the still at large fugitives. Another fugitive returned to safekeeping was Harold Rosa, 25, serving 4 to 15 years from Sagi- naw for breaking and entering. He was found hiding in the basement coal bin of the Milner Hotel in Jackson last night. The 13 escaped by cutting through three steel grates of an underground sewer with an acety- lene torch. Where they got the torch and the oxygen to operate it was the subject of an immediate investigation by William H. Bannan. Deputy Warden Charles Cahill said he believed the torch was ob- tained from one of the prison in- dustries. Emerging from the filthy drain tunnel, the 13 were 250 feet out- side the prison walls. Their first move was to converge (Continued on Page 14, Column PRISON I Harold Rosa, 25. one of 13 in- mates of Southern Michigan State prison that escaped Satur- day, is returned to prison after he was found hiding m a Jack- ton hotel coal bin late Sunday.

Three weekend deaths raised the fatality figure for this year to 620, exactly 100 more than died on the state's highways last year. The latest victims; Andrew W. Wolters, 79, Alex- andria, killed Sunday when a car skidded on an icy spot on U. S. 10 five miles north of Sauk Centre and overturned in a ditch. The driver, William Arfsten, 51, Alex- andria, and Walter Grodahl, 55, also of Alexandria, were injured. Wolters, formerly of Enderlin, N.D., was Arfsten's father-in-law I and lived at the Arfsten home in j Alexandria. Carl Schulstad, 1-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Alden Schulstad Detroit Lakes, died of injuries suffered in a three-car collision Saturday night on Highway 59, three miles north of Detroit Lakes.

The child's parents and a 2-year-old sister were not seriously hurt. P. J. Beyers, 72, Winona, died Saturday night, minutes after his car apparently stalled and then was struck from the rear, by a semi-truck tractor.

Gardener Dies After Crash on Gilmore Avenue Peter Beyers, 72, Killed as Truck Hits Rear End of Auto By GORDON HOLTE Republican-Herald Staff Writer The city of Winona's 1953 traffic toll today stood at its highest mark in more than a decade following the death Saturday of Peter J. Bey- ers, 72, a Gilmore avenue truck gardener who was fatally injured in a truck-tar collision near his home. Beyers, who died at the Winona General Hospital less than 20 min- utes after he suffered a skull frac- ture and other injuries in the mid- afternoon mishap, was the seventh fatality on streets and highways in the city thus far this year. This was the 13th fatal traf- fic accident in the county year and 'the second death recorded in the city this month. Beyers had just driven put of his driveway and was beginning a trip to the downtown business district when his car was struck from be- hind by a truck tractor driven by Dale Ives, 17, 573 W. Broadway. Car Pushed 100 Feet The force of the impact pushed the car ahead a distance of more than 100 feet and sent it crashing into a tree on the boulevard. The critically injured driver was trapped inside the wreckage of the automobile and crow bars were re- quired to force open the door so that he could be extricated from under the front seat. He was taken in an ambulance to the hospital but died at p. m.', shortly after arrival at hospital. Chief of Police A. J. Bingold said that investigation thus far has re- vealed no actual eyewitnesses of the mishap but evidence at the ac- cident scene and the facts related by Ives provide facts by which cer- tain circumstances of the crash can be determined. It is believed that the Beyers car was either stopped, or near a stop, on the highway at the time of the crash. Had Told of Defect Members of the accident victim's family recalled that the elder Bey- ers had complained recently of the car stalling momentarily after stops at intersections and the driver had mentioned that he intended to have the car checked at a garage some- time this week. He had left his house on Gil- more avenue and had driven ap- proximately a block and one-half along the Highway 14 route when the accident occurred. Ives, meanwhile, had driven the truck to Rochester earlier in the day and was returning to. Winona along Highway 14. with his uncle, Warren Ives, 483% E. Bellevjew St., as a passenger, Ives-said'that although he has no chauffeur's license he had driv- en the truck after his father Be- came seriously ill recently. Just Over Bridge The truck no trail- er the city, came down the hill east of St. Mary's College and had crossed the bridge when the accident occurred. The driver's uncle recalled that as the truck came into the straight- away at the bottom of the hill he noticed the Beyers car leaving the driveway. Ives said that as he approached the accident scene he was driving between 35 and 40 miles an hour. The legal speed limit at that loca- tion is 30 miles an hour. The driver said that he noticed (Continued on Page 3, Column 5) 7TH FATALITY Just Before Falling into the churning sea at Surfside.

Palo Alto Networks expands product range, partners with VMware
By Nicola Leske
(Reuters) - Security software maker Palo Alto Networks Inc, which went public in July, is teaming up with VMware Inc to expand its range of security products to virtual machines and networks.
The companies will announce the partnership at a Palo Alto Networks' industry event in Las Vegas on Tuesday.
The Palo Alto Networks VM-Series, which will be integrated with VMware's cloud computing virtualization operating system, vSphere, is aimed at providing network security in virtualized data centers.
Virtual technology allows a single computer to act like many "virtual" machines, thus expanding its capacity to run various types of software and multiple operating systems.
"We are now able to offer a full feature next generation firewall in a virtual machine data center," said Chris King, head of product marketing at Palo Alto Networks.
King added that customers' security policies could now be implemented, even when machines are changing hosts.
"Workloads migrating across physical machines is one of the problems that blows up network security," King said.
Palo Alto Networks sells firewalls to businesses that prevent data breaches and block malware and viruses but has been focused on hardware. Continued...

Jermaine Jackson Wants to Change His Name

Jermaine Jackson Videos
Jermaine Jackson has filed legal papers in order to change his famous last name. He actually is swapping out the spelling from Jackson with an "o" to Jacksun with a "u."
Jermaine is making the change for "artistic reasons." And "sun" is so much, well, sunnier.
His request is with a judge for approval.
Do you think Jermaine Jacksun is trying to distance himself from family?

With shares of GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK) trading around $53, is GSK an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE, or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
T = Trends for a Stock's Movement
GlaxoSmithKline is global healthcare group engaged in the discovery, development, manufacturing, and marketing of pharmaceutical products. These products are vaccines, over-the-counter medicines, and health-related consumer products. GlaxoSmithKline's principal pharmaceutical products are medicines in these areas: respiratory, antivirals, central nervous system, cardiovascular and urogenital, metabolic, antibacterials, oncology and emesis, dermatology, rare diseases, immuno-inflammation, vaccines, and HIV.
In an escalation of previous charges facing the company, GlaxoSmithKline is now facing a criminal investigation from Britain's Serious Fraud Office. The company is already facing fraud allegations in several countries. The SFO said in a statement released on Tuesday that it "has opened a criminal investigation into the commercial practices of GlaxoSmithKline plc and its subsidiaries." The news follows reports that GSK's China Exec will face jail time after the Chinese government found him liable for charges of corruption and bribery. The company has faced several similar investigations in China, Poland, and the Middle East. Earlier this month, GSK's former head of its China unit, Mark Reilly, along with two other top executives were charged with ordering employees to bribe healthcare workers; the charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison, according to FiercePharma.
The Serious Fraud Office as well as GSK, have declined to offer any additional information on the subject of the new investigation, and the BBC reports that GSK refused to comment on whether the SFO investigation was connected with any specific incident in particular; the investigation is in response to an apparent violation of a UK law which states it is illegal for companies to bribe government employees, even while conducting business abroad. The U.S. enforces similar legislation, known as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Policies Act. In response to the new criminal investigation in Britain, GSK released a statement on Tuesday, announcing that, "GSK is committed to operating its business to the highest ethical standards and will continue to cooperate fully with the S.F.O." Were the company found liable of corruption through the SFO investigation, it's possible that it would also have to face discipline from the U.S. as well, since both countries have laws forbidding such practices.

Self fit or installed uPVC?
Just about to move into my first place 2 bed maisonette (1st and 2nd floor) which has single glazed upvc windows (ex council i think). i want to do all the windows double glazed but am unsure wether its better to buy myself and get fitted (not sure how hard a job this is) or pay a firm to supply and fit..
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Hi Glen
Sizing is very important if it is not done correctly major work may need to be done. I would recommend going with a reputable firm to measure and fit. If you buy the widows the have them fit, They may easily change a price on a quote because of your error.
If the sizing is not right, you could own windows that won't
I thought old council houses had steel frame windows (the one i lived in years ago did!) As UPVC is relatively modern i'm suprised the window pane itself isn't double glazed.
I have replaced single pane windows with the double glazed variety before but the frames were wooden, so were easy to adjust to take the extra thickness of the new pane.
The glass was really easy to do as you don't have to be millimeter perfect and was quite inexpensive to buy.
if I was thinking of replacing one UPVC window for another i'd seriously attempt it as the old one is easy to remove and you can measure that one when you order the new.
As for fitting, you'll learn all you need when you see how the old one was fitted, they use frame fixings which are very long screws in long rawl plugs that get hammered in instead of screwed, through a hole that gets drilled through the frame and into the brick.
Then any gaps are filled using expanding foam, then trim is put up to cover the mess!
Bottom line... I'd do some research first, see if you can get hold of blow by blow instructions, maybe try a small window and if the confidence still isn't there.... get the pro's in.
