I Won My Small Claims Court Case
SUBMITTED: Friday, March 14, 2014POSTED: Friday, March 14, 2014
Judy Nickles,
I found your information on www.Allurebridals.com webpage and your website is not even on their webpage. So when I called you and asked if you had the Allure Bridal dress style number C208, you said no, but you can order it for $1000, which was less than the original cost of $1573.00. To be honest I was sold on the price and which in many cases of brides try to save a little bit of money here or there. I assure you I could have afforded to pay for the authentic dress and which I did since receiving a cheaply made bridal dress that you may have made or ordered through some foreign country with cheap material. This dress was hideous and NOT what I ordered. I wouldn't even cared if you gave me a used dress as long as I received the dress I ordered. There are several complaints about you and your business on Yelp. I am not alone on this. You tell brides you can order the real dress for a cheaper price but turn aroud and sell them a knockoff or none at all. That is very cruel. It took www.Allurebridals.com to step in and mediate the problem because I found you through their webpage for you to send me a the knockoff dress, and when I received the dress it was shoved (not even folded) in a office depot box with no garment bag protecting the dress. I had to purchase the authentic dress through another bridal shop that www.AllureBridals.com knew was authorized to sell their bridal gowns and carried my dress style in their shop. You, Judy Nickles are not authorized to sell their Allure Bridal gowns. I was informed by Jackie - Customer Service Manager from Allure Bridal that you are only authorized to sell their Allure Bridesmaid dresses. That is where you take advantage. If more people complain about how you run your business the better. I am not going to let your insults hurt me. I believe in justice. I believe that people should run a business with integrity and honesty. That is the best way to gain positive feedback for your business. Its that easy.People do not write negative reviews and lie about businesses for fun.
To all the brides that have fallen victim and lured in by www.AllureBRidals.com and found Judy Nickles and her business on it such as, Judy Nickles DBA The Wedding Dress Bridal, DBA Wedding Dresses of Temecula, and DBA Brittany's Bridal & Tux's, pleasse contact Jackie - Customer Service Manager 901-384-2820. Address 3190 New Brunswick Road Bartlett, Tennessee 38133. If anyone had a similar story as mine, complain about Judy Nickles and her fraudulant activities on Yelp and here. The more Allure Bridal will be aware of her and hopefully there will be justice.

Three-year ban for fan who threw ''missile''
A 24-year-old has been given a three-year banning order and fined £200 after admitting throwing a ''missile'' during the derby between Cardiff and Swansea earlier this month which saw referee Mike Dean hit on the head by a coin.
However, he denied throwing the coin which struck and bloodied Dean's head during the clash between the Welsh rivals at Ninian Park.
David Roberts, from Pontypridd, south Wales, pleaded guilty to a charge under the Football Offences Act 1991 following the game on April 5.
Defending solicitor Vaughan Britton said Roberts had thrown a piece of chewing gum on to the playing area.
Following legal discussion, prosecutor Helen Gambrill agreed for the charge to be amended to ''throwing a missile'' rather than ''throwing a coin''.
District Judge Richard Williams fined Roberts £200 and ordered him to pay £60 towards prosecution costs and victim surcharge of £15.
He was also given a three-year football banning order.
Mr Britton told Cardiff magistrates' court: ''Mr Roberts has never been in any type of trouble before.
''It is not the case that he was arrested in connection with the coin that struck the referee.
''He accepts in interview that in flicking a piece of chewing gum towards the playing area he got swept up in the emotion of a local derby match between Swansea and Cardiff.
''He accepts he should not have done so and he accepts that the court has to deal with him.''
In making a plea not to impose a football banning order, Mr Britton added: ''The criminal justice system to him is a completely alien environment and it seems unlikely that he will be before the court charged with any criminal offence.''
Mr Williams said the fact Roberts allowed his ''feelings to run away'' from him meant a football banning order was required.
As he left court, Roberts declined to comment.

I love living and working in East Lansing. My nest on campus has a great view of Beaumont Tower.
My passion for the outdoors includes short hikes from tree to tree, and stealing snacks from students napping in the lawn. Man can they nap.
Get to know Moosejaw, East Lansing
The East Lansing Moosejaw has been around since 1994. That's the same year Justin Bieber was born. While The Biebs committed the next 18 years to becoming a dreamy pop icon with the voice of a songbird, the EL Moosejaw Shop strove to become the best place to get awesome outdoor gear and apparel along with the legendary knowledge and service of an experienced staff. Our peeps have even been known to teach sweet dance moves to any customer who asks us in a British accent. Whether it's a new daypack for school, a new outfit for your vacation, or a new tent for your next hiking trip; we challenge you to find a place more FUN than our shop to get everything for your next adventure whether it's in East Lansing or Isle Royale. Oh yeah, did I mention we have a Super Nintendo and an Air Hockey table too? So we have that going for us, which is nice.
The goods are coming. Stay tuned.
Check back soon for more upcoming shop events.

Moosejaw, East Lansing Products
Is there anything worse than walking to class when it's freezing? Well, I'm sure there is but I absolutely hate it. However, this year I went to Moosejaw to get the perfect jacket for walking to class. A bunch of other peeps were doing it too. We have brands like Patagonia, Arc'teryx and The North Face. Besides grabbing a water-proof shell and a lightweight fleece, I picked out the best full-length down jacket that will for sure keep me warm come winter time. Coincidentally, my parents got me a car this year. Therefore, I don't have to walk to class anymore. Perfect timing, right? Oh well, at least I have a couple sweet jackets to wear when I drive past all the peeps walking.
Everyone walks everywhere in East Lansing. We couldn't figure it out at first, we gave up trying actually. But then, we thought a Moosejaw shop would be a good fit in East Lansing because we have a wide variety of shoes for all you walkers to wear. Whether you're walking to class, home from that frat party last night, or deciding to be adventurous and walking by the river, we have you covered. With brands like Merrell and The North Face, we will make sure your feet are comfortable and looking stylish. Take it from me, you never know who you will see walking on the street. I saw my ex-girlfriend last week. She wants to get back together. Thank you, Sanuk.
Apparently, I tried climbing my dorm building last night. That's frowned upon. Did you know that? I used all the gear that I had bought that day from Moosejaw. I used my helmet by Black Diamond and my harness from Arc'teryx. I was wearing a bunch of other gear that I bought from there as well. For example, my ATC, chalk bag, climbing shoes, carabiner and some other things. Anyways, I looked pretty sweet. Well at least I thought I did, until Officier Buzzkill decided to yell at me over a mega-phone. Really dude? Anyways, come to Moosejaw and not only will they tell you what you need for climbing, they will tell you all the right places to climb (dorms not included).
East Lansing is home to a pretty decent sized college. I can't think of the name, but it will come to me. Anyways, whether you need a backpack for class or for the trail, we've got your back. Literally. Our shop staff will suggest brands like Osprey, Gregory, and The North Face to make sure that you are comfortable and practical. Not to mention, everyone will probably be talking about that thing on your back when they see you walk by. And no, I'm not talking about your "sweet" tattoo of Sparty. We aren't like those other retailers that just suggest anything. We will show you the best backpack for what you need. Just ask.
I wore my Moosejaw tee last night to Ricks. Needless to say, I got a ton of compliments and free shots. Our Moosejaw shop has a ton of different types of clothing for you to wear all around East Lansing. Whether it's yoga pants by Lole or snow pants from The North Face, zip-ups from Patagonia or hoody's by Prana, we will make sure you get exactly what you're looking for. For lounging or raging, we'll hook you up. I wonder what will happen tonight when I wear my Mountain Hardwear t-shirt tonight. Wish me luck.

From HaskellWiki
1 Product
Recall the construction of a cartesian product: for sets S,T, the set .
The cartesian product is one of the canonical ways to combine sets with each other. This is how we build binary operations, and higher ones - as well as how we formally define functions, partial functions and relations in the first place.
This, too, is how we construct vector spaces: recall that is built out of tuples of elements from , with pointwise operations. This constructions reoccurs all over the place - sets with structure almost always have the structure carry over to products by pointwise operations.
Given the cartesian product in sets, the important thing about the product is that we can extract both parts, and doing so preserves any structure present, since the structure is defined pointwise.
This is what we use to define what we want to mean by products in a categorical setting.
Definition Let C be a category. The product of two objects A,B is an object equipped with maps and such that any other object V with maps has a unique map such that both maps from V factor through the p1,p2.
In the category of Set, the unique map from V to would be given by q(v) = (q1(v),q2(v)).
The uniqueness requirement is what, in the theoretical setting, forces the product to be what we expect it to be - pairing of elements with no additional changes, preserving as much of the structure as we possibly can make it preserve.
In the Haskell category, the product is simply the Pair type:
Product a b = (a,b)
Recall from the first lecture, the product construction on categories: objects are pairs of objects, morphisms are pairs of morphisms, identity morphisms are pairs of identity morphisms, and composition is componentwise.
This is, in fact, the product construction applied to Cat - or even to CAT: we get functors P1,P2 picking out the first and second components, and everything works out exactly as in the cases above.
2 Coproduct
The other thing you can do in a Haskell data type declaration looks like this:
Coproduct a b = A a | B b
This type provides us with functions
A :: a -> Coproduct a b B :: b -> Coproduct a b
and hence looks quite like a dual to the product construction, in that the guaranteed functions the type brings are in the reverse directions from the arrows that the product projection arrows.
So, maybe what we want to do is to simply dualize the entire definition?
Definition Let C be a category. The coproduct of two objects A,B is an object A + B equipped with maps and such that any other object V with maps has a unique map such that v1 = vi1 and v2 = vi2.
In the Haskell case, the maps i1,i2 are the type constructors A,B. And indeed, this Coproduct, the union type construction, is the type which guarantees inclusion of source types, but with minimal additional assumptions on the type.
In the category of sets, the coproduct construction is one where we can embed both sets into the coproduct, faithfully, and the result has no additional structure beyond that. Thus, the coproduct in set, is the disjoint union of the included sets: both sets are included without identifications made, and no extra elements are introduced.
- Diagram definition
- Disjoint union in Set
- Coproduct of categories construction
- Union types
3 Algebra of datatypes
Recall from last week that we can consider endofunctors as container datatypes. A few nice endofunctors we may have around include (with some abuse of notation):
data 0 a = Boring data 1 a = Singleton a
with the obvious Functor implementations. From these, we can start building new container types, such as:
Bool = 0 + 0 Maybe = 1 + 0 Pair = 1 * 1
and we can use this to produce recursive definitions
List = 0 + 1*List NonEmptyList = 1 + NonEmptyList
and to argue in a highly algebraic manner about data type definitions
List = 0 + 1*List = 0 + 1*(0 + 1*List) = 0 + 1*0 + 1*1*List = 0 + 1 + 1*1*List

Jerusalemites expecting to wake up on Saturday morning and be greeted by a blanket of white, pristine snow were disappointed to behold only ferocious winds and rain interspersed with light snowfall.
The capital's residents, and especially children, had greatly anticipated the snow day predicted by meteorologists in recent weather forecasts.
On Thursday, the Jerusalem Municipality readied 50 snowplows and vehicles for spreading salt on frozen roads, as meteorologists had predicted a stormy — and possibly snowy — weekend. Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat also directed the Social Welfare Department of the municipality to be ready to assist needy and elderly residents of Jerusalem with shelter, blankets, and heaters. The municipal hotline, 106, operated on high alert.
Meanwhile in the North, the higher areas of the Golan Heights saw heavy snowfall on Saturday morning, as did the city of Tzfat. As stormy weather and flooding persisted in the Dead Sea region and the Galilee, several roads were closed off.

Foreword by Peter Wise.
With the publication of with his seminal 1977 book, White Trash, Christopher Makos burst on to the photography scene and made a name for himself as the first photographer to record the convergence of the "uptown" and "downtown" worlds, as Debbie Harry fondly remembers.
This raw, beautiful volume chronicled the punk scene as it came of age on the street of New York. Interspersed in the mix are portraits of boldface names, including Andy Warhol, Man Ray, Tennessee Williams, Halston, John Paul Getty III, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Grace Jones, Patti Smith, Richard Hell, Tom Verlaine, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Zandra Rhodes, Divine, Lance Loud, and Marilyn Chambers, among others.
Over the years, the book became a cult classic, selling for up to $500 on Amazon. Glitterati Incorporated is pleased to announce the publication of a deluxe edition: White Trash Uncut. The book features 25 new photographs in a new hardcover format, with essays by Andrew Crispo and Peter Wise.
While the first book was a throwaway (first printing copies—paperback--sell now for $50 and up to $500 on Amazon), this version, produced some 40 years later, is being presented as an art book, as it is now clear that the original is a ant publication with "weight" in the world of pop culture photography.
128 pages; 8 x 12" hardcover;
15,000 words with 70 b/w photographs

China Eastern Airlines (NYSE: CEA, SHA: 600115, HKG: 0670), the nation's third biggest carrier that recently reported a ¥13.9 billion loss for 2008, may turn itself around by 2010, executive director Ma Xulun told a press conference in Hong Kong. "Hopefully we will cut losses this year, break even in 2010 and talk about positive gross margin a year later," said Ma. "Our budget for aircrafts is cut by 32% to ¥6.4 billion this year, while other spending is to rise 24% to ¥3.6 billion." The airlines has received ¥7 billion bailout from the government and ¥76 billion in loans from China Construction Bank (SHA: 601939, HKG: 0939), China Minsheng Bank (SHA: 600016), Agricultural Bank of China and China Development Bank since Dec. CEA has captured a 32% marekt share in Shanghai where it is headquartered. Its smaller local rival, Shanghai Airlines (SHA: 600591) that handles only domestic flights, has a 15% share. China Eastern has vowed to lift the share to 40%.

Date of Stay: June, 2012
This was our first trip to Yellowstone National Park. The access to Grizzly RV Park is wide and easy. The staff in the office are great!! The spaces are wide and plenty long enough for our 40 ft toy hauler and rig. Bathrooms/showers throughout the park. In the ladies', only one 'sitter' and 3 shower stalls in the one near our space. Playground and game room for the kids (no fee). I'm very particular about where we stay and this is the first RV park I've ever given a 10 to!! Walking distance to town. A short drive or bike ride to the west park entrance. The town - a mecca for tourists. Prepare for inflated prices EVERYWHERE!! Luckily I had food in my freezer! Beginning prices for entrées in the local restaurants are $11 and UP. Load up the crock pot, go enjoy the park and come home to a wonderful meal. One place we did splurge - Woodside Bakery. Fabulous cinnamon and orange rolls, and lots of other fresh baked goodies. Have a great time with Yogi and BooBoo!!
Date of Stay: April, 2011
Having fought extremely heavy winds as we exited Colorado and made our way west across New Mexico, my husband just couldn't go any further. We found the Albuquerque North/Bernalillo KOA in our KOA directory and headed there. The hosts were AWESOME! They said many travelers had been coming in off the interstate, and even though they had several guests coming in for a Pow Wow that weekend, were able to accommodate us for the night. We got a great pull thru site for our truck and 40ft toy hauler. Easy access. Sites are gravel. Restrooms/showers were clean. A small but nice play area for our boys who were ready to burn off some energy! Other reviews mentioned traffic noise from the nearby interstate. We didn't hear any that would be a nuisance. A free pancake breakfast is offered at the onsite cafe. I heard from other travelers that the breakfast burrito (adder charge) was fantastic! We HIGHLY recommend the Albuquerque North/Bernalillo KOA!
Date of Stay: April, 2011
This was our second stay at Zion River Resort. We were so thrilled with the resort the first time we stayed in 2010, we had to come back. We've recommended this RV resort to several friends who also had a great experience here. Camp hosts are awesome! All of the sites are great! Clean bathrooms/showers. The pool is awesome! Always an evening activity planned. Close to nearby Zion National Park. A fee base shuttle is available for those who don't have a vehicle to drive to the park. This RV resort is approximately minutes from Zion Park. Recommend making reservations as this resort fills up quickly. We give this resort a 15+ and HIGHLY recommend it!!
Date of Stay: April, 2011
We arrived late in the afternoon without reservations. The hosts were able to provide us a site for two nights without a problem. The park is clean. The views are breathtaking. Easy pull in site for our 40' toy hauler. Sites are gravel with shade trees. Big grass area for the kids to play. It was too early in the season for the pool to be open. Two separate laundry facilities. Restrooms/showers were clean. We HIGHLY recommend Thousand Lakes RV Park!!!

DIY Drywall Repair
Here's something that happens in remodeling projects all the time: You (or the electrician) installs a light fixture or receptacle in the wrong location. It's easy enough to get him to move it, but having an electrician repair drywall is like getting a demolition laborer to cut dovetail joints—it ain't gonna happen. So that leaves you with a light switch in the right place and a hole in the wrong one.
The good news is that with a little Dura-Bond 20 or other fast-setting, site-mixed compound (see sidebar pg. 24), you can make a seamless repair that you can complete in about half a day. The other good news is that this technique is also great for patching other holes: Like when "Sheeter Dave" gouges the wall hauling plywood through the house.
But these techniques aren't just for the jobsite. They're also terrific for making repairs in drywall—or plaster for that matter—from other damage, like a wall gouged during a furniture moving fiasco (moving furniture is always a fiasco!), your teenager's wrestling match, or from breaking the age-old Mom-rule: no playing ball in the house! Soundproofing Products for the Home
The tricks laid out below are called the Bullet Patch and Batten Patch respectively. They minimize the size of the patch and don't require you to peel drywall back to existing studs for fastening purposes.
The bullet patch (so-called, because you can do it pretty darn fast, or at least that's what I'm told) is smart and easy. It works great for holes around the size of a two-gang light switch, but can be used for bigger or smaller repairs too. The batten patch (that's what I call it due to the "batten backers" inserted behind the existing drywall) is often best suited to larger repairs and ceiling repairs. It offers more stability while the compound sets up, but requires a little more trowel trickery with taping and sanding.
Bullet Patch
The bullet patch is such an ingenious and time saving idea that whoever thought of it should be given some sort of Lifetime Achievement Award. My guess is that this is the kind of site-borne invention that clever carpenters, drywallers and painters devised individually until the word spread and it became part of many tradesmen's bag of tricks.
The key to is to cut a blank of drywall bigger than the hole, then on the back of the blank, expose a "plug" of drywall just a bit smaller than the hole. You do this with a series of clever cuts and breaks. What's great about this is that while you remove the oversized portion of the drywall, you leave the paper—which acts as tape when you mud it. It's as seamless as seamless gets.
Clean Cut: The first step in the bullet patch process is to clean out and square the hole. This is done in the case shown here, where the repair is being made because of an errantly placed switch box. But, if the hole is made by a fist, hammer, or some other blunt force, then use a drywall saw to remove the broken or damaged drywall (or plaster and lath) to make it rectangular in shape.
Next, if there are any obstructions or finishes near the patch location (like a light switch cover), remove what you can. If the finish can't be removed (like wallpaper or molding) protect it as necessary with blue painter's tape.
Measure and Cut the Repair Piece: Once the hole is squared out, measure it. Now, go to your new drywall and cut a piece that is 2 inches bigger than the hole's measurement all the way around. For example: Say that the hole turns out to be 4 inches by 4 inches; cut a new piece of drywall 8 inches by 8 inches.
Now, flip the blank over so the front is face down on your work bench and the back is face up (the brown side of the drywall is the back). Use a tape measure to locate the center of the blank. Mark it. Note: It's easiest to mark the drywall by cutting slits with your utility knife rather than marking with a pencil.
From the center point, map out the plug. Make the plug about 1/4 inch smaller than the hole's dimensions all the way around. For example, if the hole is 4 inches by 4 inches, make the plug 3-3/4 inches by 3-3/4 inches. The easiest way to mark both edges of the plug is to hold the center point of the measurement—1-7/8 inches in this case—aligned with the center point lines on the drywall. Mark both edges of the tape and in two locations. Use a straight edge (a scrap of 1-by works fine) and connect the dots by cutting with your utility knife.
Cut and Break: With your lines mapped out on the back of the drywall in a grid pattern, cut them with a utility knife. Grasp the drywall firmly in both hands and break it along one line. Then—and this is the cool part of this process—carefully peel the gypsum (the white chalky material) away from the paper. Discard the gypsum and leave the paper flange. Do this all the way around the piece until you have exposed the center plug.
Note: it is much easier to use a piece of drywall that is not from the factory edge of a piece of wallboard because of the way the paper folds over at that location—or because ends are usually banged-up, cracked, or have labels you have to deal with. Use a piece cut from somewhere inside the factory edge of the wallboard for better results.
Applying Mud
With all finished surfaces masked as necessary, apply a thin coat of mud (skim coat) to the wall before installing the bullet patch. Don't wipe it down tight. You need enough mud on there so you can embed the back of the paper flanges into it.
Next, put the patch on the wall and lightly press the paper into the wet compound with your fingertips (don't press on the plug) this usually holds it in place. Now, put a little compound on the edge of your knife. I use a 6-inch knife for this job. The mud "lubricates" the knife edge and enables it to ride across the paper. Take the knife and press hard enough on the patch to squeeze the mud out from behind the paper. Be careful not to press too hard or you risk "oil-canning" or rippling the paper. A couple of passes ensures a tight bond.
Now, with the paper adhered from the back, wipe a feather-coat on the front of the paper. You only need a light coat. Smooth down all rough spots—but don't expect perfection. A thin light coat that bonds the paper to the wallboard is the key here. A cool trick is to flare your knife. (See "Flare Up" sidebar).

#Twoppics – Charlie Sheen, Paul the Psychic Octopus, Taylor Swift
Twoppics, the stories behind the hottest topics on Twitter.
Audio clip:
It's like an episode of "Two and a Half Men," just in real life. Your hot twoppic of the moment is Charlie Sheen… FOX News Radio's Sabrina Sabbagh reports Sheen's been hospitalized after police were called to New York's Plaza Hotel, where a naked and highly intoxicated Sheen – who was with an escort – had to be taken out in a wheelchair. Sheen's publicist is blaming an allergic reaction to a medication for the incident.
Your twoppic of the day is the death Paul the Psychic Octopus. The tentacled tipster fascinated fans during the summer's World Cup, correctly predicting the winner of 8 matches, including the Final. Paul would open one of two boxes bearing team flags, collecting a mussel as a meal and reward, from his tank at the Sea Life Aquarium in Germany. Following his 100% record in the World Cup, the oracle octopus retired from the predictions business, living out the rest of his 2-and-a-half years making kids laugh.
Your top twoppic… "Speak Now," the newest album from country star Taylor Swift, hitting the shelves at midnight Tuesday morning. All 14 songs on the CD are written by the 20-year-old, and they get personal… One song is reportedly about her romantic involvement with fellow musician John Mayer… And another is written for ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner. Swift will mingle with a plane load of fans Wednesday, as she flies them from New York to L.A. to promote the record.
I'm @ChrisHoenigFNR and those are your hot @Twoppics on FOX News Radio.

The case is finally closed for a Nelson police officer who has been receiving letters from his garden gnome - all the way from Mauritius and Singapore.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Wayne Johnston, who launched an unofficial inquiry to find the people behind the gnome's activities, said it had been a rough four months since "Gnomie" appeared and then disappeared from his garden.
Mr Johnston has discovered he's been lied to, deceived and even stalked by close friends, who confessed in a book of photographic evidence to the joke.
The friends have given the book to Mr Johnston as a memento of the prank. Photos of the group placing the gnome in Mr Johnston's garden and taking it away again are included along with "witness statements" and "offence reports".
Mr Johnston has found he was even photographed outside Nelson District Court three weeks ago when Gnomie returned from his travels with another gnome in a $147,000 Lexus car.
Mr Johnston said a friend helped him with his inquiry and it turned out she had also been in on the joke the entire time.
"I was made to look a goose," he said.
Others had jumped on the bandwagon, and at one point there were 22 gnomes in his garden, some of which were receiving Christmas cards.
"They're getting more Christmas cards than I am."
While Mr Johnston was down to four gnomes, a pink flamingo had recently appeared, although this time he was certain he knew how it got there.
"I've learned a few things out of this. For starters, believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see. Trust no one, and don't look very far for suspects."

System-specific impulse
The term System-specific Impulse, Issp is mostly used to describe the performance of jet propulsion systems. A reference number is introduced, which defines the total impulse, Itot, delivered by the system, divided by the system mass, mPS:
- Issp=Itot/mPS
Because of the resulting dimension, - delivered impulse per kilogram of system mass mPS, this number is called 'System-specific Impulse'. In SI units, impulse is measured in newton-seconds (N·s) and Issp in N·s/kg.
The Issp allows a more accurate determination of the propulsive performance of jet propulsion systems than the commonly used Specific Impulse, Isp, which only takes into account the propellant and the thrust engine performance characteristics. Therefore, the Issp permits an objective and comparative performance evaluation of systems of different designs and with different propellants.
The Issp can be derived directly from actual jet propulsion systems by determining the total impulse delivered by the mass of contained propellant, divided by the known total (wet) mass of the propulsion system. This allows a quantitative comparison of for example, built systems.
In addition, the Issp can be derived analytically, for example for spacecraft propulsion systems, in order to facilitate a preliminary selection of systems (chemical, electrical) for spacecraft missions of given impulse and velocity-increment requirements. A more detailed presentation of derived mathematical formulas for Issp and their applications for spacecraft propulsion is given below.[1]

University of Michigan senior defensive backs Marlin Jackson (Sharon, Pa./Sharon HS) and Ernest Shazor (Detroit, Mich./Martin Luther King HS) have been named to the preseason watch list for the 2004 Jim Thorpe Award announced today by the Jim Thorpe Award Association. The Thorpe Award is given annually to the nations top defensive back. Michigan was the one of only three schools two have multiple players on this year's preseason list, and the only one from the Big Ten.
Jackson returns to cornerback in 2004 after switching to free safety during the Wolverines' 2003 Big Ten title season. Jackson has contributed 148 tackles over his three year career. He also has seven tackles for loss, eight interceptions, two sacks, and 29 pass breakups. He is currently third all time on Michigans career pass breakup list, and set a single game (six) and single season (18) records in that category in 2002.
Strong safety Shazor has become a big, physical presence in the Wolverine secondary. As a starter for the first time last year, he had 57 tackles, including eight for loss, two sacks, two interceptions, one forced fumble and five pass breakups. He was voted All-Big Ten second team by the coaches last season. He has appeared in 23 career games making 11 career starts.
The Thorpe Award candidates will be narrowed to 10 semi-finalists on Nov. 1 and down to three finalists Nov. 22. The winner will then be announced on ESPN's College Football Awards Show on Dec. 9.
Michigan kicks off its historic 125th season of football on Sept. 4 against Miami (Ohio).

MOG, with its share of 500,000 subscribers, has emerged as a major player in the realm of digital music. Although the company hasn't revealed how many of these are paid subscribers, it sure is a success. Now, rumors are abound that HTC's unit, Beats is on the verge of sealing a deal with MOG and buying the company. This is expected to happen, and be announced, within the next fortnight.
According to reports, Beats have been in discussion with MOG for quite some time now. Officials from both companies have declined to make a comment about the prospective deal and are shush about it. However, according to analysts, if a deal does happen it will most probably rake in more than $33 million.
This estimate is derived from the fact that MOG has raised some $33 million from investors and if the company is handed over to Beats, it sure will be given for more than $33 million. Beats has recently been trying to get a stronger foothold. It was integrated into Facebook the last fall and claims that since then, it has been tried by 5,000 users daily on the social network.
If indeed Beats is successfully able to seal the deal regarding MOG, HTC may then try to offer the service on its Android smartphone devices. HTC has long been trying to offer something different, something additional on its handsets so as to stand it apart from the multitude of other Android vendors. A music streaming service like MOG can be just the defining feature which may let HTC have an upper hand.

Front door threshold
Hi guys,
My front door project continues... :) Having hard time finding a matching threshold for the front door. It's 3 3/4" wide x 3/4" tall and about 30" long. All I've seen while looking around goes up to 3 1/2" wide top.
Any suggestions as to where I might be able to find something matching in size (width/height)?
Thanks so much!
What's wrong with the one that's there now?
Whats it made of?
Got a picture?
1 Attachment(s)
It's wood of some sort (oak?). Picture's attached. The top beveled part there is the exterior exposed part painted black to match door sill color. The crack starts just above the center of the painted area going to the left and down.
If it's all wood, then it can be repaired or rebuilt. If all you have is a crack, then you should be able to just glue it back together. If you have voids you can fill them with wood flour or a filler made of sawdust and glue.
You're not going to find anything in current production that is going to look like what you already have. Things were made a lot different back then than they are now days.
I'll be honest with you, I'm not sure what wood flour or a sawdust filler is. Would something like this
DAP Natural Plastic Wood Solvent Wood Filler
or this
PC-Woody Wood Epoxy Paste
Thanks so much for taking time to reply.
A picture from further back could have helped more----
You will need to make that---or hire someone to do it for you---
White oak will be needed for an exterior thresh---red oak hates water and will discolor--then curl--and quickly rot---
Wood exterior thresholds are rare now a days----I'll bet the ones you are finding are for interior work and are red oak-----------
1 Attachment(s)
Ever notice all the air coming in from under that door?
When I come across old door's like that I remove the old threshold and install a new adjustable threshold, cut the door shorter and add a seal that mounts to the bottom of the door with screws in the inside and outside of the door.
The seals I use even have a little rain cap on the outside to direct water away from the threshold.
A lot of fillers will shrink over time and do not accept stain at the same rate or color as the surrounding wood.
Sorry for a late reply...
Edit: thinking about getting this door sweep so that I can paint it black to match:

County-Level Socioeconomic Status and Cancer Rates in Texas, 2001-2005
Tex Med. 2010;106(10):e1.
By David R. Risser, PhD, MPH; Eric A. Miller, PhD; Melanie A. Williams, PhD; and Lewis E. Foxhall, MD

Previous studies have shown that a person's socioeconomic status (SES) (a proxy measure that can incorporate income, wealth, education, and occupation) is associated with cancer incidence and mortality. Examining variation in cancer rates by SES can help identify health disparities and target areas for cancer control activities. The Texas Cancer Registry (TCR) collects data on every newly diagnosed case of cancer in Texas, including personal and demographic data, but does not collect data related directly to SES. Using a county-level measure of SES determined by the 2000 US Census, we compared cancer incidence and mortality rates for selected cancer sites by counties categorized into Low, Intermediate, and High SES. The cancers examined in this analysis included lung, colorectal, female breast, prostate, cervical, and all cancers collected by TCR combined. Consistent with other studies, most incidence and mortality rates were lowest in the High SES counties. However, in general, the highest incidence and mortality rates were found in counties categorized as Intermediate SES, but patterns differed by cancer site and by race and ethnicity. This study provides additional evidence that geographically related SES is associated with cancer incidence and mortality.
As for most diseases, the cause of cancer is multifactorial, meaning that many factors, both external (eg, diet, tobacco, and radiation) and internal (eg, age, sex, and genetic make-up) contribute to carcinogenesis. Socioeconomic status (SES) represents a combination of income, wealth, education, and occupation and is commonly used as an indicator of underlying (and sometimes unmeasureable) characteristics that tend to be associated with many external exposures, individual health behaviors, and access to health care. These characteristics can be on the individual level or by geographic area and can directly or indirectly influence the health of an individual.
People at a lower SES tend to have poorer access to health care, lower educational levels, and a higher prevalence of many unhealthy behaviors. Socioeconomic factors have often been examined in relation to health, disease, and mortality differences, including cancer.1 Previous studies have indicated that the higher the SES, the lower the incidence and mortality rate for many different types of cancer, including lung, stomach, cervical, esophageal, oropharyngeal, and liver; however, these studies report higher rates of breast cancer and melanoma. These studies also indicate differences in cancer survival and in stage at diagnosis of cancer in relation to socioeconomic factors.2
Because individual-level data on SES are not always available for large cancer datasets, such as those collected by the Texas Cancer Registry (TCR), large population-based studies are often not available to directly investigate this relationship. For this reason, population-based studies of cancer incidence and mortality in relation to SES often rely on geographic SES measures linked to the cancer data.
This analysis examined the relationship between county-level SES and cancer incidence and mortality rates in Texas. The purpose of the analysis is to give a basic demonstration of disparities in cancer incidence and mortality rates by SES simply by comparing the characteristics of the county people live in. Because this is an ecologic study (ie, comparing the correlation between geographic area and cancer), causality cannot be inferred. Data from this report are meant to highlight possible gaps in cancer control measures and provide a basis to further investigate explanations for these disparities.
County Socioeconomic StatusThe TCR does not collect information on income, education, or occupation for individual cancer patients; therefore, we are unable to measure directly the SES of each cancer patient. However, the TCR does collect the address at the time of diagnosis, and measures of SES at the population level are captured by the US Census Bureau.3 For this analysis, we used a single crude measure of SES that is consistent with a recent US study of SES and cancer: the county-level percent of population below the federal poverty level.2
Counties were divided into 3 categories to calculate separate incidence and mortality rates. Consistent with the previous study, the cutpoints chosen were as follows: < 10% of the county population below the federal poverty level (High SES); 10% to 19.9% below the federal poverty level (Intermediate SES); and ≥ 20% below federal poverty level (Low SES).
Cancer Incidence and Mortality RatesThe TCR is a population-based cancer surveillance (reporting) system that includes incident reports of certain benign, borderline, in situ, and malignant neoplasms occurring in Texas residents. Texas hospitals and cancer treatment centers are the primary sources of case reporting. Reports are also received from outpatient clinics, freestanding pathology laboratories, and other state central cancer registries when a Texas resident is diagnosed or treated at a facility outside of Texas. The data used in this report were abstracted primarily from medical records and pathology reports.
To calculate cancer incidence and mortality rates for each category, the TCR used 2001-2005 county-specific incident cases of cancer and deaths with corresponding population data from the US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. Cancer mortality data for 2001–2005 were extracted from electronic files provided by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) Center for Health Statistics and collected by the DSHS Vital Statistics Unit. These files contained demographic and cause-of-death information from Texas death certificates for all deaths occurring among Texas residents.
Rates were age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population to eliminate the effect of differences in age structure among these populations and to allow the rates to be compared directly. Rates used in this report were calculated by using SEER*Stat software (version 6.4.4). This analysis was limited to invasive cancers only. The cancers examined in this analysis included lung, colorectal, female breast, prostate, cervical, and all cancers collected by TCR combined.
Incidence and mortality rates were calculated separately for white non-Hispanics, blacks, and Hispanics of any race. Numbers of the Asian/Pacific Islander and American Indian/Alaskan Native groups were insufficient to examine separately when further divided into socioeconomic groups. Race and ethnicity are associated with cancer incidence and mortality, and the population distribution varies considerably by region, even within counties in Texas. As a result, we found considerable evidence that overall rates were confounded by race and ethnicity. We were unable to adequately control for this confounding in calculating overall rates. Therefore, all rates by SES groups are presented stratified by race and ethnicity.
The Figure presents a county map of Texas showing how each county was categorized by SES. Most of the Low SES counties are found close to the Texas-Mexico border. The corresponding distribution of the population by SES groups varies substantially by race and ethnicity (Table 1) [PDF]. For the total population, 14% reside in High SES counties, 73% in Intermediate SES counties, and 13% in Low SES counties. More than 19% of white non-Hispanics live in High SES counties compared with only 7% of Hispanics and 9% of blacks. Conversely, 28% of Hispanics live in Low SES counties compared with 4% of blacks and 5% of white non-Hispanics.
All Cancer SitesA total of 429,455 incident cancer cases and 169,374 cancer deaths were recorded by the TCR during 2001–2005. Examining all-site cancer rates by each race and ethnicity separately, cancer incidence rates are higher in the Low and Intermediate SES counties compared with the High SES counties (Table 2) [PDF]. However, among blacks and white non-Hispanics, the incidence rates were highest among those in the Intermediate SES counties. The pattern of mortality rates by race and ethnicity for each SES group is similar to incidence, with the exception that mortality rates in white non-Hispanics were lowest in the Low SES counties (Table 3) [PDF].
Lung CancerFor lung cancer, incidence rates were higher in the Low and Intermediate SES counties for each race and ethnicity except for white non-Hispanics, where rates in the Low SES counties were roughly equal to those in the High SES counties (Table 2). Lung cancer rates were substantially lower overall among Hispanics, and although their rates were higher in the Low and Intermediate SES counties, not much disparity was seen between rates from each group. The greatest disparity in incidence rates was among blacks, with rates more than 50% higher for Low and Intermediate SES counties compared with High SES counties. Lung cancer mortality rates had similar patterns as incidence (Table 3). However, the mortality rate among white non-Hispanics was even lower in the Low SES counties, and a greater disparity was found in rates for the Intermediate and Low SES counties among Hispanics compared with the High SES counties.
Colorectal CancerBoth blacks and white non-Hispanics had higher incidence rates in both the Intermediate and Low SES counties compared with the High SES counties (Table 2). Overall rates were lowest among Hispanics, and very little difference was found by SES group. Colorectal cancer mortality rates were highest in the Intermediate SES counties for each group (Table 3). However, only among blacks were the mortality rates in the Low SES counties higher than in the High SES counties.
Breast Cancer – FemalesBreast cancer incidence rates were higher for each race and ethnicity in the Intermediate SES counties than in the High SES counties (Table 2). Comparing Low and Intermediate SES with High SES counties, we found the disparity in rates greatest among blacks. For breast cancer mortality, rates were still highest in the Intermediate SES counties, but less difference was found in rates for each race and ethnicity than for incidence rates (Table 3). Only among Hispanics was the mortality rate in the Low SES counties higher than in the High SES counties.
Prostate CancerOverall, prostate cancer incidence and mortality rates were significantly higher among blacks. By SES, prostate cancer incidence rates were highest in the Intermediate SES counties for white non-Hispanics and blacks, but very little difference in rates was seen when Low SES counties were compared with High SES counties (Table 2). In Hispanics, the incidence rates increased with decreasing SES. Among white non-Hispanics, we found little difference in mortality rates by SES. For blacks and Hispanics, mortality rates increased with decreasing SES (Table 3) but were not statistically different from High SES counties.
Cervical CancerThe incidence rate of cervical cancer overall is substantially higher among Hispanics compared with blacks and white non-Hispanics. The incidence rates were slightly higher for Intermediate and Low SES counties compared with High SES counties in white non-Hispanics and Hispanics (Table 2). In blacks, the incidence rates were only higher in the Intermediate SES counties. For mortality, rates were unstable for blacks in High and Low SES counties because very few deaths occurred (11 and 13, respectively). Among white non-Hispanics and Hispanics, mortality rates were higher, but only slightly, in the Intermediate and Low SES counties (Table 3).
For this report, we applied an ecologic methodology to assess SES differences in cancer among Texas residents. We examined the rates separately for white non-Hispanics, blacks, and Hispanics and considered five cancer sites and all cancer sites collected by the TCR combined in relation to a single measure of SES, the percentage of persons below the federal poverty level. The overall pattern is generally consistent with patterns recognized in other state and national studies of SES and cancer. Cancer incidence and mortality rates tend to be higher in lower SES populations than in higher SES populations. However, in general, we found the highest incidence and mortality rates in counties that were categorized as Intermediate SES.
Although patterns differed by race or ethnicity for each specific cancer site, blacks generally showed a markedly greater disparity of incidence and mortality rates than did white non-Hispanics and Hispanics when High SES counties were compared with lower SES counties. Among white non-Hispanics, the Low SES counties actually had lower mortality rates than did the High SES counties for all cancer sites combined, lung, colorectal, and female breast cancer. We suspect this may be due to misclassification of overall county SES level by race and ethnicity. Additional research is needed to determine if other explanations can account for this uncharacteristic result.
Multiple explanations may be offered for the differences in cancer rates seen among SES groups. Lifestyle and behavior factors typically differ by SES: eg, smoking rates and the awareness of the health effects of smoking, diet and physical activity, and reproductive factors.4-6 In addition, we find substantial differences in access to health care, including lack of health insurance and access to physicians and health care facilities. Lack of health insurance has been shown to be associated with higher cancer mortality rates and a later stage at diagnosis.7-11 Persons without insurance are less likely to be screened for cancer, have a usual source of care, have had a health care visit in the past 12 months, and are more likely to delay or not get care due to cost.11,12 For Texas in 2007, estimates suggest 5,741,038 (27%) nonelderly adults (aged 18-64 years) were without health insurance, which is the highest percentage in the United States. By race and ethnicity, Hispanics had the highest uninsured rates with 41%, followed by blacks with 26%.13,14
An important limitation of this study is the potential for ecologic fallacy (ie, interpreting the area or aggregate county socioeconomic effects as individual-level effects). Many factors unrelated to SES could account for the differences in rates observed. In addition, we may expect that the effects of SES will be smaller in magnitude by using ecologic associations rather than individual associations by SES.15-20 However, in the absence of individual level SES measures in the TCR data, the ecologic associations may still be useful for cancer control planning, for resource allocations, and for improving access to cancer screening programs and other cancer control interventions.
Because of the ecologic approach, some misclassification by poverty level will occur. In this analysis, the poverty level was determined at the county level, which assumes that everyone of each race and ethnicity in a county falls into that category. Although obviously not true, at the ecologic level, this approach does capture certain common aspects of their experiences. For example, in medically underserved counties (http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/shortage/muaguide.htm), regardless of a person's SES, everyone in the county experiences this barrier to health care to some degree. We suspect a possible reason that we generally found the highest incidence and mortality rates among the Intermediate SES group versus the Low SES group is due to misclassification of SES level. Similarly, misclassification of either SES or ethnicity might also explain why white non-Hispanics in the Low SES counties tended to have lower incidence and mortality rates than those in the High SES counties.
This study provided additional evidence that SES plays a role in disparities of cancer incidence and mortality rates in data specific for Texas. Consistent with previous studies, we found that the poorer counties in Texas bear a greater burden of cancer than do higher SES counties. Continued effort is needed to increase access to health care, decrease risk factors for cancer, and increase awareness of cancer prevention measures. Additional research is needed to better understand the effect of SES on cancer incidence and mortality in Texas and the specific factors underlying SES that contribute to the disparities. Ultimately, this knowledge can help inform decision making in the implementation of cancer control measures.
The authors would like to acknowledge the technical assistance of George Lara, research specialist, for linking the County Attributes data from the 2000 US Census to the Texas Cancer Registry incidence and mortality datasets.

Recovery hopes boosted by rise in manufacturing orders
Hopes for the economic recovery have been boosted after a business survey showed an unexpected improvement in orders and confidence in the manufacturing sector.
A balance of 7% of manufacturers told the CBI this month that they expect to increase their volume of output in the next three months, compared to a balance of 3% in May who expected business to decline.
The flow of orders also saw an improvement in June, the CBI said, with an increase in the number of businesses reporting order levels above normal, including a surprising improvement in export orders.
The wider economy entered a double-dip recession in the first quarter of 2012 and recent signs have suggested the country may struggle to return to the growth in the second quarter.
Ian McCafferty, CBI chief economic adviser, said: "Despite facing continued instability within the eurozone, UK manufacturers have seen a modest rebound in orders from both their domestic and export markets."
The survey presented further evidence that the economic climate is weighing on companies' pricing power as expectations for output price inflation weakened.
Gross domestic product (GDP) shrank by 0.2% in the first three months of 2012, following a 0.3% contraction in the final quarter of last year.
Economists have already raised concerns about the second quarter, as additional bank holidays for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee are expected to knock growth.
Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight, said the data offered "glimmers of hope".
But he warned: "There is still a very real danger that the economy will suffer further contraction in the second quarter, especially as it is handicapped by the extra day's public holiday resulting from the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
"And the outlook remains highly uncertain and problematical," Mr Archer added.

"I have never felt so creatively satisfied on a film," she continued. "He's amazing."
But when it came to opening up further about her relationship with the "Drive" star, Eva stayed mum.

"Stop, just stop," she said with a laugh when asked a follow-up question about her relationship. "I'm not gonna budge. I feel uncomfortable talking about it. It's too personal."
Quite a few topics were off limits in Eva's Marie Claire interview - including marriage and motherhood.
"Those are such boring topics to me," she said. "I am not that girl. I don't like talking about things that I want in the future because I feel by verbalizing such things, they won't come true."

Dwayne Johnson Is Grateful For The Chance To Wear A Tutu
Dwayne Johnson, seen here leaving The Late Show With David Letterman in New York yesterday, came from very little and finds himself very grateful for the opportunities he has. "Considering my past and the environment I was raised in, the trouble I got into, I probably shouldn't be talking to you about doing great movies." Yes, we are talking about The Tooth Fairy a movie that has something to do with Johnson going from a hokey player to a tutu and wings.
He is thrilled though at the chance to work with Julie Andrews, Billy Crystal and to deliver what he sees as message about dreams and empowerment to children. With all his talk about how much adults have an influence on the lives of children I started to feel like something really deep was going on, but the man is a tooth fairy. "I don't mind making fun of myself" he says. " I like self-deprecating comedy. But, I'd like you to laugh with me occasionally, too." Which one will you be doing?

Whenever a small screen actress announces a pregnancy, fans are always left speculating whether or not the TV show producers will write the baby bump into the plotlines. For example, Nashville writers revealed their plan for dealing with actress Hayden Panettiere's pregnancy in the third season of the ABC drama. Check out more details below, along with several other shows that worked in real-life pregnancies.
1. Hayden Panettiere, Nashville
Last year, it was announced that the actress is expecting her first baby with fiancé Wladimir Klitschko. Nashville fans immediately started speculating whether producers would write it in the show or utilize one of the small screen's classic concealing methods. As it turned out, Panetierre's character, Juliette, didn't don oversized coats à la Kerry Washington in Scandal. Instead, her pregnancy was worked into the plot and Juliette had to wrestle with questioning whether the baby was a result of her ex-boyfriend's or a one-night stand from last season.
2. Lucille Ball, I Love Lucy
Ball's second pregnancy was written into the second season of the show, without ever actually using the word "pregnant." At the time, CBS executives thought openly acknowledging the biological response to sex was too controversial. Instead, Lucy broke the news to Ricky through several musical numbers.

Wondering About Your Alcohol or Other Drug Use?
If you ever find yourself wondering if you are drinking too much or too often there are ways of doing a simple assessment of your drinking. You can stop wondering and check if there may indeed be a problem. Here is an online assessment tool you can try. Simply click on the link and another page will open. You can rest assured that the sites you will visit are completely confidential, just as this site is.
If you don't want to take an online assessment, here are two additional tools:
Talk to a close friend and ask her or him what they think. For this discussion you do not want to choose someone you normally party with. You want to ask someone who cares about you and you alone, not someone who may care as much as you do for the pot or beer.
Give yourself a screening. Has your use of the drug increased in amount or frequency? Do you use at times of day that you did not use before, especially soon after waking? Does the drug or using the drug occupy more of your thoughts? Go back to this page and look at the first set of bullets regarding behavior. If you can, ask that friend we spoke of earlier to look at them. Above all remember that you have to be completely honest with yourself in this assessment.
If you now think that there is indeed reason for concern please go on to the next page or call us to discuss the situation or to receive a referral to another office. It's totally free, confidential, and a good first step to finding a solution.

"I have reached the 1,000 mark!" screamed my friend. She is not a cricketer who has scored runs or taken wickets. It's the score of her Facebook friends. Anything less than 200 is pathetic and not being on Facebook means you do not exist. It is something like a teenager not having a mobile. This is the march of civilisation, or rather communication technology, for you. Despite the scandals and scams, one cannot imagine life without it all.
The friends can range from 10-year-olds (illegal) to septuagenarians. Why is my two-year-old niece not on FB? I need to take up this issue with my brother. So what if she can't even recognise the letters and has no concept of counting. She can definitely 'like' cartoons, photos and nursery rhymes. And of course, accept birthday wishes. Her proficiency in the use of iPhone can beat hardcore users. My brother has no business curbing her freedom of expression, her fundamental right.
It's essential to devote 2-3 hours every day on Facebook, otherwise you are bound to miss what your cousin has shopped and from where, whether your friend is going for yoga these days or not, whether your aunt has been cooking Chinese or continental for her party, and where did your colleague spent her vacation. This essential information is the basis of our social fabric. Our social life has never been so good, and the best part is that it is all during office hours.
If your friend has spent days to sort out and place 500-odd photos of her foreign visit on FB, you can devote at least 10 seconds to click on 'like'. One need not pore over all photos trying to find the good ones. A 'like' for the whole album would do. Remember the time when a visit to the newly-weds' house meant going through the wedding album, followed by the torture of watching the marriage video. The ordeal used to be compounded if one had not attended that wedding and there was no hope of seeing oneself in all the finery.
But if the friend himself/herself loves to face the camera, then there is no choice but to go through all portraits and give comments. Similarly, listening to all songs uploaded by friends on YouTube for your entertainment is an uphill task. And the profound statements of life, the nuggets of wisdom may not make anyone wiser, but everyone pretends to nod the head (or, in this case, write a comment) wisely.
If one has been careless enough to be friends with one's seniors, then the only option is to stay alert throughout the day. The moment the senior posts something on Facebook, be the first one to like it. If you have been lazy and your rival has not only liked the post but also made a witty and praiseworthy comment, your day is ruined.
The other day, my mother and I were at home, both busy on our Smartphones. She shared a page on the cucumber's benefits. I liked it and shared a page on the cost of generic medicines. Silently typing away, we were in touch on Facebook. What happened to being in touch face to face?

Oil companies such as BP and Shell are important sponsors of the arts in London, including theatre, opera and the visual arts. There was a lively debate on BBC Radio 4′s Today Programme this morning about whether oil companies were cynically using the arts to give themselves social legitimacy.
Tate Britain will be celebrating 20 years sponsorship from BP today, and protests are planned outside the event due to BP's environmental record.

Microwave venting
I just received my new over the range microwave and there are two blower holes and they are not where the old one was, as per what my contractor told me.
My family who is helping me keeps telling me to not bother and just make it recirculate the air, but I don't want to do this, what's the point in having an over the range then?
The existing vent is a metal duct that is inside the wall, I'm thinking of just removing the drywall where the vent goes up and just cut the required holes in the vent so it matches up, then use vapour barrier and red tape to seal off everything but those two holes and make sure it's snug against the microwave. Is this the right way to go about it? Are minor air leaks ok, or could that lead to mold and other issues due to venting out steam and what not?
no leaks. Use metal duct tape that you can find in the duct section of you local box store. Microwave vent connections can be changed on the unit to vent up or through the wall. Also you can adapt them to vent only via the internal filter.
I never really worked with ducting before, anything I should know, tools i need etc? I'm guessing just cutters and a rivet gun? I have an air compressor for the gun.
no rivets needed. One piece slides into the other and get taped with Duct tape. Which is where the name changed when houses needed AC after WWII from DUCK Tape used to seal ammo cans to be water tight. if you need to make custom pieces you will need a crimping tool which makes the one duct slide into the other.
Yeah I need to totally customize it, the vent on the wall is too low and big for the microwave, I need raise it (cut drywall then modify vent) and make sure there is a tight fit on the microwave.
Got to my house and saw it was installed, and contractor told me he took vented it outside. Saves me from doing it. :p
