Sanders Meets With Stark On Shopping Center Future
In what many see as the beginning of a long overdue step forward, Councilman James Sanders Jr. met with Rita Stark, the owner of the Thriftway Shopping Center located in downtown Far Rockaway.
The news was first made public when Sanders' summer newsletter began appearing in constituents' mailboxes last week.
According to the newsletter, the faceto face meeting between the councilman and Stark was a first, considering that, for more than 30 years, she had never met with any elected officials. The newsletter goes on to say that the two discussed ways to "turn [the] deplorable Thriftway Mall into the shopping mecca it once was."
Jonathan Gaska, the district manager for Community Board 14, was just as surprised as everyone else to hear of the meeting. While he knew Sanders was working with Stark's representatives, Gaska said, "I didn't know he was dealing directly with her."
Gaska told The Wave that the CB 14 has tried many times to reach Stark.
"We've called but they never returned our calls," he said. "I'm glad she's talking to somebody."
The Far Rockaway Shopping Center fell into decline when Stark's father, Fred Stark – who developed the site more than 40 years ago – died in 1988. The shopping center was the center of a fight between Stark and her brother over their father's assets. The lawsuit was eventually dismissed, but the shopping center's slide continued.
In 2006, Shopco Advisory Group was hired to help Stark revitalize the shopping center. Since then different plans had been drawn up and presented to the borough president's office, as well as the community. This past December minor work of putting in handicapped parking spaces was done at the site, but negotiations still continued for, what The Wave was told at the time, was $16 million in renovations.
Concerning what the project would cost Gaska said, "They're looking for [financial] help from the city. I know the councilman was involved in trying to get it going."
He added, "My understanding is they want to do the right thing."
Gaska did give a little insight into a possible reason for the delays.
"One problem was she [Stark] was really ill and in the past year she has gotten better," Gaska said.
The Wave attempted several times to ask Sanders specific details of what was discussed with Stark, but we were told he was unavailable to discuss the meeting.

The American Senator HTML version
5. Reginald Morton
We will now go back to Hoppet Hall and its inhabitants. When the old squire died
he left by his will Hoppet Hall and certain other houses in Dillsborough, which
was all that he could leave, to his grandson Reginald Morton. Then there arose a
question whether this property also was not entailed. The former Mr. Masters,
and our friend of the present day, had been quite certain of the squire's power to
do what he liked with it; but others had been equally certain on the other side,
and there had been a lawsuit. During that time Reginald Morton had been forced
to live on a very small allowance. His aunt, Lady Ushant, had done what little she
could for him, but it had been felt to be impossible that he should remain at
Bragton, which was the property of the cousin who was at law with him. From the
moment of his birth the Honourable Mrs. Morton, who was also his aunt by
marriage, had been his bitter enemy. He was the son of an innkeeper's daughter,
and according to her theory of life, should never even have been noticed by the
real Mortons. And this honourable old lady was almost equally adverse to Lady
Ushant, whose husband had simply been a knight, and who had left nothing
behind him. Thus Reginald Morton had been friendless since his grandfather
died, and had lived in Germany, nobody quite knew how. During the entire period
of this law-suit Hoppet Hall had remained untenanted.
When the property was finally declared to belong to Reginald Morton, the Hall,
before it could be used, required considerable repair. But there was other
property. The Bush Inn belonged to Reginald Morton, as did the house in which
Mr. Masters lived, and sundry other smaller tenements in the vicinity. There was
an income from these of about five hundred pounds a year. Reginald, who was
then nearly thirty years of age, came over to England, and stayed for a month or
two at Bragton with his aunt, to the infinite chagrin of the old dowager. The
management of the town property was entrusted to Mr. Masters, and Hoppet Hall
was repaired. At this period Mr. Mainwaring had just come to Dillsborough, and
having a wife with some money and perhaps quite as much pretension, had
found the rectory too small, and had taken the Hall on a lease for seven years.
When this was arranged Reginald Morton again went to Germany, and did not
return till the lease had run out. By that time Mr. Mainwaring, having spent a little
money, found that the rectory would be large enough for his small family. Then
the Hall was again untenanted for awhile, till, quite suddenly, Reginald Morton
returned to Dillsborough, and took up his permanent residence in his own house.
It soon became known that the new-comer would not add much to the gaiety of
the place. The only people whom he knew in Dillsborough were his own tenants,
Mr. Runciman and Mr. Masters, and the attorney's eldest daughter. During those
months which he had spent with Lady Ushant at Bragton, Mary had been living
there, then a child of twelve years old; and, as a child, had become his fast
friend. With his aunt he had, continually corresponded, and partly at her
instigation, and partly from feelings of his own, he had at once gone to the

The Order : 1886 premium edition
Article from .
It's been an amazing E3. From the PlayStation Press Conference to the days that followed, we had a series of reveals that shed more light onto The Order: 1886. We went into E3 with two demos that illustrated different aspects of the game: the battle in the streets of Whitechapel and the Lycan reveal in the London Hospital.
It was great to see players finally get their hands on the demo and accustom themselves with one of our signature weapons, the Thermite Rifle. We also debuted Blacksight, a gameplay mechanic based on the Knights' use of Blackwater, and saw many players make good use of it against the Rebels.
Now, with the show behind us, we are diving back into development. Thanks to everyone who came by our booth and everyone else who sent us feedback. We really appreciate it.
At the top of this post, you can watch the second video in our behind-the-scenes series entitled "The Evolution of the Half-Breeds." It will give you some insight into the work we did to create the Lycans and show you some of our early work as well as the final design of our main antagonists.
I hope you enjoy it.
And in case you missed it, we recently announced the Premium Edition of our game, which includes a 13" statue entitled "The Endless Duel." It depicts a battle between Galahad and one of the Half-Breeds we describe in the video; the Elder Lycan.
Re: The Order : 1886 premium edition
I really want the Premium Edition but for some reason Sony and RAD (maybe) are not offering it too Canadian customers. The guys at my local EB games say there a more than a few ticked off customers who wanted to pre-order it but can't
Kinda p*sses me off. This isn't the first time us Canadian gamers don't get the same products as our US counterparts. What gives?

You can also use a peice of wood at the foot pedel to only let it go down so far. also practice FMQ at slow speed and you will get better!!!!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
You can also use a peice of wood at the foot pedel to only let it go down so far. also practice FMQ at slow speed and you will get better!!!!!
Many brands have both of those features. Wal*Mart carries many styles of Brother that has these features. I plan to buy the SQ 9000 next time I'm there. It's $200.
If you are doing FMQ (free motion quilting) without a foot, just the darning type foot, you need your machine to go fast and your hands to move the fabric slow. If you are trying to do a FMQ type design in the borders using your walking foot I know I can't help. The walking foot always restricted my site of where I wanted to stitch so rarely used it. Then I bought a Pfaff that has the walking foot built in (it is IDT) and that is placed behind the foot and doesn't hinder site of where the needle is going.
I just ordered a Brother SQ9000, it has speed control, needle up/down and can drop feed, some simple alphabet embroidery, and many decorative stitches. You can also sew without the foot control with the start/stop button, which from my understanding, is helpful in FMQ. I haven't gotten it yet (waiting on the mail man!!! hurry up!), but as soon as I do, I'm getting a darning foot to start working on fmq.

Denied full democracy by Beijing, half million people rally
Page Tools
More than a half million people clogged Hong Kong's downtown streets yesterday demanding full democracy and angry at China's communist leaders for denying them the right to directly elect their own rulers.
"Only democracy can save Hong Kong," said 65-year-old Cheuk Kuang, a former driver.
"The communist government is intervening too much in Hong Kong and it's trying to shut down all opposition voices."
The march came on the seventh anniversary of the former British colony's handover to Chinese sovereignty and a year after a protest by a half million people stunned China's leaders and forced Hong Kong's government to withdraw an anti-subversion bill that many had viewed as a threat to freedoms.
Organisers said at least 530,000 people had turned out, but the crowd was still marching in the early evening. Police said earlier they had counted at least 200,000.
Marchers filled all four lanes of a major commercial thoroughfare, peacefully chanting slogans, holding up signs and waving inflatable dolls of their unpopular leader, Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa, as they made their way to the fenced-off Hong Kong government headquarters.
Tempers have flared since Beijing ruled in April that ordinary citizens cannot elect the successor to Tung in 2007 or all legislators in 2008.
"We don't want to be subservient to the central government," said Ben Kwok, a 40-year-old factory owner. "We don't want Hong Kong to become like the mainland, where even the news gets censored."
Many accuse Tung of being a puppet to Beijing.
"The Hong Kong government is just foolish," said clerk Maggie Yung. "It's completely turned a blind eye to the people."
But the mood seemed less angry than last year. Thousands of the protesters were fanning themselves on the hottest day of the year, with temperatures hitting 34.6 degrees celsius.
Despite Beijing's ruling in April that shattered hopes for universal suffrage in the near future, many of the demonstrators from all walks of life vowed to keep pushing for reform.
"Someone said there's no point in protesting," said 44-year-old Lo Keung-wah, who sells construction materials. "But is it any good if we don't protest?"
Tung and other dignitaries stood at attention in the morning as the Chinese and Hong Kong flags were solemnly raised to the sounds of the national anthem. Outside, a dozen activists tried to carry a mock black coffin toward the ceremony but were held back by a larger group of police.
Protesters have rankled Beijing with what it views as a provocative rallying cry: "Return power to the people".
In Beijing, China's government defended Hong Kong's political system as "real and unprecedented democracy" and rejected criticism of its handling of the territory as foreign interference in its affairs.
"The residents of Hong Kong enjoy real and unprecedented democracy, which can be witnessed by the international community," Foreign Minister spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue told a news conference when asked to comment on the protests in Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, a mainland visitor, 30-year-old accountant Bob Zhuang, watched the early morning demonstration for a few minutes and called the activists "stupid".
"Should such a protest really be allowed in this territory?" Zhuang asked, waving a red Chinese flag.
Pro-democracy figures hope the march will generate momentum for September legislative elections that will let ordinary citizens choose 30 of the territory's 60 legislators, up from 24 four years ago.
The rest are chosen by special interest groups, such as businessmen, doctors and lawyers, who tend to side with Beijing. The central and territorial governments want to avoid ending up with a legislature that won't back Tung, something that hasn't happened in the seven years since Britain returned this former colony to China.
Tung was chosen by an 800 member committee loyal to Beijing.
The central government permits no political dissent in the mainland and was clearly worried about the rally.

was going to lower...but I'd rather lift :)
Looking at the rocky road 2" budget lift. Seems easy and fairly cheap...so next question is. What is the largest tire I can fit? Was hoping for 265/75/16's which is 31.7 diameter but will those be too wide for the wheel well? Also will they even fit on my stock rim??
Re: was going to lower...but I'd rather lift :)
I know I have a different jeep but I'm running 30 inches with my tires with stock suspension, even though they are street tires.
Re: was going to lower...but I'd rather lift :)
I think you could with some light trimming. The stock rims are good to 285. That's what I'm running and sir them down to 18 and has been good

Les Quarteronnes de La Nouvelle-Orléans : Dahlia, Sidonie de La Houssaye. Notes de Christian Hommel.
Among all the Quadroons there are none who are the equal of the incomparable Dahlia. This was the last novel written by Sidonie de La Houssaye. Published after her death it seemed to foretell the dark days that were in store for Louisiana's French language literature. After Dahlia our literature remained silent for nearly three-quarters of a century. Nonetheless, this novel contains pages of remarkable beauty that de La Houssaye inscribed with everything she had learned about form and narrative structure during her long career as a writer. Profoundly influenced by Zola, but also by American writers such as Lydia Maria Child, Dion Boucicault, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and George Washington Cable, de La Houssaye recounts the emotional voyage of a Creole of Color, Dahlia the quadroon. The pages that recount Dahlia's youth are truly astonishing, even hypnotic, and must be counted among the most beautiful creations ever penned in Louisiana. Even so, the reader cannot forget that in this Germinal louisianais, it's the women who are exploited, in the depths of dark and shady society within a city that considered women to be no more than things. Dahlia thus becomes a symbol for all women who seek light, room to breathe and the liberty to choose a life of her own creation. Dahlia is a worthy swansong of Sidonie de La Houssaye. e.

If a witness testifies at trial, there's a chance to impeach that witness. In other words, a witness's testimony can be challenged for truthfulness. Either side can impeach a witness, even their own. Impeachment can occur on direct examination or cross-examination. There are different rules for impeaching an accused who takes the stand as a witness and all other witnesses. This article deals with the impeachment of witnesses other than the accused.
Ways to Impeach a Witness
The most frequent ways to impeach a witness is through the use of their prior inconsistent statements or criminal records. Other methods of impeachment include showing that a witness is biased in favor of one side over the other because of a family relationship, financial interest or other motivation. A witness can always be impeached by showing that they were drunk or on drugs at the time of the incident.
Prior Inconsistent Statements
A prior inconsistent statement is the most common type of impeachment - the "gotcha" moment at trial. The purpose of impeaching with a prior inconsistency is to show that a witness made conflicting statements about a material issue in the case. First, it casts doubt on the truthfulness of their trial testimony. Then, because the witness told two stories, one of which is untrue, it suggests that the witness has a general tendency to lie.
Not every inconsistency in a witness's testimony is a source of impeachment. A witness can simply be confused, nervous or forgetful. Depending on the nature and seriousness of the inconsistency, a witness can merely be mistaken or deliberately lying. A witness who deliberately lies at trial commits the crime of perjury.
There are other inconsistencies that can be impeached besides prior statements. For example, a witness who failed to call the police right away can be impeached for an inconsistent action. The inference being that a witness who doesn't immediately call the police is unreliable. Another example is a witness who testifies to a fact that they never told the police or anyone. That's impeachable as an inconsistent omission. In other words, if something happened, why didn't the witness tell somebody before testifying to it at trial? As such, the suggestion is that the witness's testimony isn't believable.
Criminal Records
The idea behind impeachment based on a witness's prior criminal record is that criminals are less trustworthy than other witnesses. At the same time, just because someone has a criminal record, it doesn't mean that their testimony isn't truthful. Although laws vary from state to state about using a witness's criminal record for impeachment, there are rules that generally apply:
- Crimes involving dishonesty - A conviction for fraud, embezzlement, forgery or any crime that involves dishonesty or a lack of truthfulness can always be used to impeach a witness
- Other felony convictions - A conviction punishable by death or more than one year in prison can be used for impeachment unless it's unfairly prejudicial
- Expunged crimes - If a witness's criminal record has been expunged, it can't be used for impeachment
- Juvenile records - A juvenile conviction may be used to attack a witness's credibility as long as the judge finds that it's important to the jury's decision
In some cases, if there's a question about whether a witness's criminal record can be used, the trial judge will balance the usefulness of the record for impeachment against its level of prejudice. If a witness's conviction is more harmful than helpful to the jury's decision, a judge probably won't allow it to be used for impeaching. A balancing test will also be used if a conviction is more than 10 years old. Typically, the name of the crime, the date and place of the conviction are disclosed. However, a detailed description of the criminal act isn't usually allowed.
Impeachment makes a difference in the way a jury views the witness. Effective impeachment basically discredits the witness as a reliable source of information, shows a lack of credibility and can influence the jury's final decision.
Questions for Your Attorney
- Is my medical condition or medical records something that I can be impeached with?
- What if I can't recall something during my testimony?
- If the other side impeaches me, will I have a chance to explain things?

Jacksonville, Florida (The Weekly Vice) - James K. Lowery, a 60-year-old Jacksonville man was jailed Sunday after he allegedly peeped through his neighbor's window and stared at their 15-year-old daughter.
Father confronts Lowery and delivers street justice before police arrive at the scene.
According to the Duval County Sheriff's Office, the 15-year-old girl called 911 to report that her father was restraining a man that was caught peeping at her through their living room window.
The victims told police that someone had been on their property peeping around their windows on several occasions recently. The father found evidence that someone had tampered with the home's window trim and screens.
When detectives asked Lowery what he was doing at the residence, he had no explanation, but admitted going there on his own will, even after consuming an entire bottle of wine.
Property records show Lowery lives near the victims. He is employed as the chief engineer for channel 4 in Jacksonville.
Lowery was booked into the Duval County Jail and charged with trespassing with intent to commit an offense, public intoxication, and resisting an officer without violence.

NEW YORK Beauty company Revlon is looking to reduce its debt by $170 million by using proceeds from the sale of the Bozzano business in Brazil and proceeds from an equity rights offering that will launch as early as the fourth quarter of 2008.
"By repaying the [MacAndrews & Forbes] Term Loan, we will eliminate our highest cost, nearest maturity debt, which carries an annual cash interest cost of almost $19 million. Improving our capital structure with this important step is consistent with a key aspect of our strategy," stated David Kennedy, Revlon president and chief executive officer.
To repay the $170 million loan, which matures Aug. 1, 2009, Revlon will use $63 million of the net proceeds from the previously announced sale of its Bozzano business in Brazil. The remaining $30 million or so of net cash proceeds from the July 2008 sales will be used for general corporate purposes.
In a second step, Revlon plans to launch, as early as in the fourth quarter of 2008, a $107 million equity rights offering that would enable stockholders to purchase additional shares of Revlon Class A common stock.
Revlon intends to effect is previously announced 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its Class A and Class B common stock on Sept. 15, 2008, and open for trading on the New York Stock Exchange on a post-split basis on Sept.16, 2008.

By Cindy Kranz, The Cincinnati Enquirer
LOVELAND, Ohio Pranav Veera can recite the names of the U.S. presidents in the order they served in office. He can say the alphabet backward. Give him a date back to 2000, and he'll tell you the day of the week.
He's only 6 years old.
VIDEO: Pranav knows his numbers
SCIENCE SNAPSHOT: It doesn't pay to be smart
At first glance, Pranav is a typical young boy who is highly competitive at playing Wii video games and likes to play outside. A closer look reveals he's anything but typical.
Pranav has an IQ of 176. One person in 1 million has an IQ of 176 or above. Albert Einstein's IQ was believed to be about 160. The average IQ is 100.
When Pranav was 4-and-a-half, his parents noticed he seemed unusually intelligent while playing with alphabet sets. He could even recall which letters were certain colors.
"That kind of puzzled us," said his father, Prasad Veera. "You have to have not a normal memorization, but some other means of recall."
Now, he loves all kinds of alphabets.
"He loves to collect them, like different colors, different sizes, different materials," said his mother, Suchitra Veera.
The Veeras decided to have Pranav tested three months ago at Powers Educational Services in Hyde Park, Ohio.
"I said, 'Let's try it out, because he seems to do a lot of stuff kind of not quite normal for his age,' " his father said. "He tested 176."
He seems to have a photographic memory, so keeping Pranav engaged and learning is a big challenge for his family.
His mother and grandmother, Shanta Sastri, work with him at home.
They're guided by his focus and interests.
"The way to get him interested is to associate something with numbers, like presidents' birthdays … and when they came into office," his mother said.
"Once we introduced him to the idea, he was asking more and more questions, so we created a spreadsheet for him in Excel, and he keeps on asking us to add more types of information to it, like sort them in the order that they came into office, sort them in the order when they were born," she said.
In prekindergarten, his teacher had him do more challenging work, such as division and telling time. In kindergarten, his classmates are learning the alphabet and numbers up to 100. He's counting over 1 million.
"He's an amazing child," said Marci Taylor, his teacher at McCormick Elementary in the Milford School District. "He knows so much, yet he's probably more excited about learning than any child I've ever seen. He shakes with excitement."
Pranav knows so many incredible things, she said, but what's also impressive is that he's still a 6-year-old boy.
"He loves to go play at recess and climb on the monkey bars," Taylor said.
It's possible that Pranav might eventually have his learning accelerated, even by skipping grades, but his father said they would have to consider that with his social needs. "We want him to be as normal as possible," his father said.
"Right now, it's kind of early, and we can do a lot at home," his mother added. "We have to figure out what works best, because I think it's different for each child."Pranav draws his intelligence from both sides of the family.
His father has a Ph.D. and his mother has two master's degrees.
What does Pranav want to be when he grows up?
"An astronaut," he said without hesitation.
Truly, for Pranav, the sky's the limit.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
september of 2009 my fiance and i lived at camden properties on north orange ave orlando fl 32801. my fiance was a leasing agent for the property. we seperated and she moved out and was fired from the company while i was out of town. she removed all her property from the apartment and left mine. she also turned her keys in and told management that i was out of town and that all my property was still in the apartment. when i came back in town, i witnessed that my fiance had moved out and that all my property was still in the apartment. i began packing all of my stuff and then maintnence walked in without knocking. they informed me that i wasn't on the lease and that i couldn't remove any of the property in the apartment and that i wasn't allowed on the property. i informed them that i was on the lease and that i wasn't gonna leave my stuff there. management called the police. the police informed me that i couldn't prove that i was on the lease and they couldn't force managment to release my personal property to me. [continued below]....
after pleading with management to let me get my property they refused. said it was liabilty issue and that the only person that can retrieve my property is my ex fiance. by now, my fiance moved back to georgia. they informed me that they would put my property in one of their storage rooms for 30 days. after that, if the property isn't retrieved by the 30th day it would be on the curb. my ex fiance set up a date 3 dyas before the 30th day. she got a call from the orlando police dept. 2 days before going down to orlando to get my property. they told her that the storage room was broken in to and that everything was stolen except for a few boxes.
for the record, only one storage room was broken in to. there's approxiamtely 30 storage units on the property. whats the odds of my storage room getting broke in to? the manager also made me suspect. first, how would i know where my property was? i wasn't with them when they removed my property. second, i was in atlanta ga. third, WHY WOULD I WANT TO STEAL MY OWN STUFF!!!!!!!
it was quite obvious that maintnence or one of the mangaers had something to do with this theft. i contacted human resources and lost managment with CAMDEN PROPERTY TRUST. lost managment appologised and told me they filed a claim and everything was gonna get taken care of. they informed me that management had no right to to deny me access to my personal property and take full controll of my belongings.
a week later a get a call from a insurance adjuster for camden. for your information, camden property trust is self-insured. they used a company that handels their claims. the adjuster told me this shouldn't take more than a month and requested me to fax him all my receipts for the stolen property. i fully complied and felt comfortable with how camden was handling the situation.
after a little over a month later, i get a phone call from Cynthia B. Scharringhausen(vice president of human resources). she informs me that they will not paying anything, that they aren't liable, and i dont what anybody else told you... were not taking responsibility!
she was very disrespectfull, and unprofessional. she was informed by the insurance adjuster that i made statement concerning camden employees were responsible for the theft and they took it themselves. cynthia scharringhausen was irate. she told me that they dont hire criminals and that i was the one that needed to be investigated.
this company refuses to accept any responsibilty. if they would've released my property to none of this would've occured.

Last week we saw a report from Ofcom criticising Internet Service Providers' advertising "unlimited" services which should only be used when a service has no usage caps implemented through a fair usage policy.
Well it seems as if BT has been listening and from April, BT Infinity and BT Total customers will see the Fair Usage Policy removed and should they go over the 300GB limit, they will no longer face download or upload speed reductions. However, while speed restrictions won't be implemented, the firm will instead rely on traffic management that will restrict certain applications/protocols when the network is busy.
In a statement on the issue, Mayuresh Thavapalan, General Manager, Consumer Broadband BT Retail said: "As BT continues to invest in the network and network bandwidth we can now remove these restrictions and ensure the experience of the wider customer base. On completion there will be no individual user controls targeted at atypical users on our BT Total Broadband and BT Infinity products." While this is a welcome move from BT, it is a move which will have little impact on most of its customers. BT's own figures show that only 0.5 percent of users (28,000 customers) regularly go over the 300GB limit.
It is also worth noting that those on BT Total Option 1 and 2 and on BT Infinity Option 1 will still be charged for going over the 300GB limit but apparently traffic will not be managed. How this is going to work remains to be seen and we will have to wait and see how the system wide traffic management affects all users.

Replacing Interior Doors, Best Approach?
I have about a dozen flat interior doors that I will be replacing with 6 panel. Door jambs are all in good shape It looks like the price of the non-cored version is 17 while the ones that have the holes drilled knobs are 29.
The measurement from top of old door to the center of door knob is 44 1/2". This measurement of the new predrilled slabs at HD is 44". So if I buy the more expensive predrilled slabs I will have some work involved with the old jambs having to move the strike plates up 1/2". Will this be more work than if I were to buy the cheaper undrilled slabs and simply drill the holes for the handsets to match the current height of the strike plate. That would save about $150.
I know I have some work involved with trimming the width of the doors 1/8" and also with mounting hinges. Prehung are not really in budget.
Which way would you go about it?
Thanks in advance!
I'd hold off until I could afford prehung doors.
It would come out looking better and take less time to install.
Just did this same job at the beach house I bought.
Where there once was a jumble of flat, lauan plywood doors, there are now a nice selection of 6 panel doors.
I got mine when Lowe's had them on sale. All the various sizes were the same price. I recommend catching them on sale.
When you're there picking up the doors, get something like a Porter-Cable door hinge template (Lowe's Item #269942) and, if your hinges have square corners, a good 1" wood chisel.
Also a decent router if you don't already have one.
Careful measuring and the job will be a piece of cake, and a good excuse to buy some new tools....:)
A square and a framing level is in your future too I hope. Fitting doors to existing openings and jambs can be tricky. Especially in older homes, things have moved and changed shape.
I think I have to agree with Joe on this one. I would wait until you can afford to get pre-hung doors. Or read up and what it takes to fit a new door to an old frame, move the hinges, etc. There must be videos on You Tube.
I am not necessarily trying to talk you out of switching just the doors. Just be advised you may be in for more than you expect. It is usually not as easy as pulling the hinge pins and slipping the new doors in place.
Before you get box store doors, you might check with a real building supply company if all in your area have not been forced out of business.
If I red your post correctly? Doors drilled for the knob and mechanism are $12 each? Seems like a lot for something you can do yourself with a jig, hole saw, etc.
I replaced builders grade hollow core doors in my house with solid core oak six panel doors around three years ago. I bought a Hinge-Mate jig since I had six doors to do, and already had a router. I removed the old doors, one at a time, and clamped it to a new one. That way I knew the exact location of the hinges and transferred the marks to the new door where the Hinge-Mate was clamped in place and the router put to use. I was also able to mark the proper length of the new door, and then trimmed a bit off the bottom with a circular saw. The lockset holes were marked the same way. The door was then stained and three coats of poly applied, the new hinges and lockset installed, and then rehung. Each new door was a perfect fit.

Trichloroethylene (TCE) decomposition by hydrogen with microwave heating under different reaction systems was investigated. The activities of a series of catalysts for microwave-assisted TCE hydrodechlorination were tested through the fixed-bed and the fluidized-bed reactor systems. This study found that the different reaction system is suitable for different catalyst type. And there is an interactive relationship between the catalyst type and the reaction bed type.

Last nuht Mrs Birchall had her final private lew with her husband The stern rules which have heretofore demand ed the presence of a third pirty at all the interviews with Mrs Birchall were not re laxed, and a keeper stood between husband and wife while thej said their farewell words The fear that Birchall would make way with himself in some way and that his wife would furnish him the means to do it, is the cause of all this The anxiety on this score on the part of Sheriff Perry has amounted to a sort of panic and has caused many precautions which are ab- surd and some which seem almost heart- less Ihe fear however, was by no means a groundless one though it was not neces sary to go- to all the- lengths that IIIYO been gone to to prevent any such tut taking place His Mother la Dangerously 111 Mr Arthur Leetham, now of Montreal, but formerly a schoolmate of Birchall, came here j esterday With him was Mrs Ingallia of Montreal who has taken a dwfcy in pour Mrs Birchall Mr Lcctham and Mrs Tngallis went to the jail this afternoon and carried Birchall some flowers They did not see him, of course Nobody sees him except his wife, Mr Wade and the jail attendants.

The laws about the signs here in Michigan only have effect if an employee asks you to leave. don't quote me on this, but as far as my knowledge goes you can carry into a place that is posted. If you are asked to leave then leave or you will then be trespassing, and they can then get you in trouble with the police.
Keep it concealed and you should be ok.
Oh and one more thing if it is a store that is posted I will either go in and explain to management how they no longer will be getting my hard earned money, and also send their headquarters an email regarding their "victim enriched zone"... sometimes they will take the sign down when enough people complain. Like Krogers in Ohio.

Sample inclusion and exclusion criteria:
Cases: Cases were selected according to ADA (2003) definitions of type 2 diabetes (fasting plasma glucose > 7.0 mM or 2 hour postload glucose during an OGTT >11.1 mM). To avoid confounding with type 1 diabetes, GAD Ab positive patients were excluded. To exclude MODY diabetes, subjects from families with mutations in known MODY diabetes genes and diabetic individuals with onset age < 35 years were excluded.
Controls: Unrelated population controls and sibling controls with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) based on ADA (2003) definitions (fasting plasma glucose <6.1mM and 2 hour postload glucose during an OGTT <7.8 mM) at last clinical visit were selected. Unrelated controls had no first degree family history of type 2 diabetes.
Sample matching
Unrelated Case/control: Groups of one case matched to one control, one case matched to two controls or two cases matched to one control were included in the study. Within each group, cases were matched to controls by gender, age (control visit age no less than 5 years from age of onset of diabetes of matched case), collection locale (one of 9 centers throughout Finland and Sweden) and BMI (within 5 points). Birth-year of cases and controls within each group differed by no more than 20 years.
Discordant Siblings: A maximum of two case sibs and two control sibs from each sib-ship were included in this portion of the study. Diabetics with the youngest onset age were matched to sibling controls who were normal glucose tolerant at age < 5 years from age of onset of the oldest diabetic sibling. In families with more than two eligible control siblings based on our inclusion criteria, we selected the two most normal glucose tolerant siblings who matched the gender of diabetic siblings. In cross-gender matched sib-ships, an unaffected female sibling was selected only if she was normal glucose tolerant at age of onset of her diabetic brother (to account for generally later age of onset of diabetes in females).
Final sample
Clinical characteristics
Note: Subjects are in the process of being called back to the clinic for follow up measurements. In controls, another OGTT has been performed to confirm that controls have remained normal glucose tolerant. In cases, data on progression to diabetic complications and mortality data are being collected.
Quantitative traits
Samples have been carefully phenotyped and were analyzed for correlation of genotype to phenotype.
Quantitative traits analyzed include:
i) Glucose traits: glucose and insulin measures during an OGTT for controls,
ii) Obesity traits: BMI, weight, height, waist circumference and waist-hip ratio
iii) Lipid traits: HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, ApoA1, ApoA2 and ApoB)
iv) Blood pressure: diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure and hypertension
Description of Quantitative Traits
Sample Preparation Process
Sample arrival:
A total amount of 1ug of genomic DNA (diluted in 1X TE buffer and at 50ng/ul) was shipped from Sweden for the whole genome scan. Upon arrival, all sample tubes were inventoried and plated into 96 well master plates for genotyping.
Master plate creation:
The master plate was created using automated liquid handling robotics to equally interleaf cases and controls on the plates, thereby, enhancing technical uniformity during the laboratory process. These plates were barcoded, scanned into a password-protected database and stored at -80°C.
Long-term sample storage:
Whole genome amplification using the Qiagen REPLI-gTM kit was performed on all the samples using 100ng of input genomic DNA. Yielding a total of 50ug, the DNA stock was split into to two aliquots for storage and future use following the whole genome scan.
- Affymetrix QC Filters:
Two levels of DNA quality control metrics were assessed on the genomic samples to ensure sample quality, quantity and identity before proceeding with the whole genome scan.
4a. Filter 1: Picogreen: To determine the quantity of double stranded DNA in the sample stocks.
4b. Filter 2: Genotyping: Using the Sequenom MassARRAY(r) genotyping technology, two sets of SNPs were genotyped on all the samples. The first, being a set of polymorphic markers that have been previously genotyped on these DNAs. The accuracy of these genotypes for each DNA ensured sample identity from historical data. The second round of markers provided a genotypic fingerprint for each sample. Each of these 24 SNP sets are on both of the Affymetrix Human Mapping 500K GeneChips(r), and serve as a cross-platform sample verification during the laboratory process.
Genotyping methods
Genotyping for the whole genome scan was performed using the Affymetrix Human Mapping 500K GeneChip®.
Analytical Methods
1. Summary of QC metrics applied to the data:
a. Fingerprinting
Genotype data used in the analysis was based on, for every individual sample, scans from an Nsp and Sty fractions concordant with a Sequenom fingerprint profile as well as cross-chip concordant based on the 50 SNPs present on both Nsp and Sty fractions (Affymetrix QC SNPs). Each pair of Nsp-Sty scans for a given individual's genotype data was selected from the pool of all scans for that individual (including samples which were redone in the lab) which had the highest overall genotyping call rate based on the BRLMM calling method (cite) and the highest concordance rates with the fingerprint data.
b. Individual exclusion criteria
All individuals passing the fingerprint quality checks were further screened based on genotyping performance. Any individual with genotyping call rates less than 95% for either Nsp or Sty fractions based on BRLMM were excluded. In addition, individuals where the gender called from X chromosome genotype data was discrepant with the gender obtained from medical records were excluded from the analysis.
c. Preliminary genome analysis
In order to verify the existing known familial relationships in the data as well as to detect additional 1st degree cryptic relationships not apparent from the known pedigree data, a preliminary IBD-sharing analysis was performed using the PLINK analysis software package, using markers with less than 5% missing data and greater than 1% minor allele frequency (MAF) on all individuals passing fingerprint and performance criteria. From the pairs of samples identified to as cryptic first degree relatives (parent-offspring, twins, or siblings), we excluded additional samples which maximized the overall global sample size of the data. Also, discordant sibling pairs found to be related less than siblings were broken apart and re-matched to existing data. After this genome analysis, a final data set of screened individuals was constructed to perform the actual type-2 diabetes scan.
d. Marker exclusion criteria
Markers which were advanced to the type-2 diabetes scan stage passed the following quality control criteria:
|1. Did not map to multiple locations in the genome
|3,605 markers excluded
|2. Less than 5% missing data for the marker and a minor allele frequency greater than 1%
|~101,000 markers excluded
|3. Passed a Hardy Weinberg Test with a p < 1e-06 in Controls
|(~5,700 markers exclud
The total number of markers that passed all filters was 389,869.
e. Multimarker analysis
An additional 169,482 specified multi-marker tests were defined based on HapMap genotype data as per de Bakker et al and Pe'er et al (CITE NG PAPERS). These tests were performed on all data, bringing the total number of markers tested for association to 559,351.
2. Summary of association analyses
Association analyses were performed using PLINK. Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) stratified test for association was performed on each group using the fine-matching criteria for the samples described above. Specifically, the CMH tests an association between SNP and phenotype, conditional on predefined clusters of samples. Our predefined clusters represent fine-matching criteria based on (a) kinship (discordant sibships vs. unrelated case/controls), (b) BMI, (c) Age, (d) Sex, and (d) collection locale. Samples that fail to generate an appropriate match were pooled together into a single cluster (and the presented results are robust to the presence or absence of this orphan cluster, data not shown). Because the study design included discordant sibling clusters, the usual chi-squared distribution and associated raw p-values are not appropriately calibrated.
Significance was assessed via permutation in which case and control labels were swapped within each cluster. In addition for each SNP, Hardy-Weinberg tests for cases, controls, and the pooled sample, tests for differential missing data between cases and controls were also performed.
3. Quantitative Trait Analysis
For each quantitative trait, a multivariate linear or logistic regression analysis with or without covariates was performed using as many of the 3082 samples we had available (which included individuals related as 1st degree relatives). For some traits, individuals with diabetes were analyzed separately from individuals without diabetes. See results for related metabolic traits (http://www.broad.mit.edu/diabetes/scandinavs/metatraits.html) for details of the phenotype specific analysis. To correct for inflation caused by inclusion of related individuals, genomic control p values are reported.
For each trait, we tabulated the number of SNPs that exceeded the specified p value after genomic control. We noted that 1) for a bulk of the distribution for all traits (p-values between 0.5 – 0.1), the distribution of p values are consistent with expectations, and 2) for many traits, notably those related to circulating cholesterol levels, we observed a slight excess of p-values in the tail (p < 0.01) relative to the null. To quantify the significance of this excess, we constructed 1000 data sets where the quantitative trait phenotype was randomized (either within a sibship in the case of relatives, or across unrelated samples), tested for association at all SNPs, and calculated the number of SNPs in the permuted data set that exceeded the given p-value threshold after genomic control. Assuming that counts for a given p value threshold were distributed normally, we standardized the resulting distribution of counts and calculated Z-scores for the observed count compared to the permuted mean and standard deviation of counts for each trait, and highlighted in bold those bins where the count is higher than expected by chance (p < 0.05). For simplicity, we present the mean number counts for APOA1 after permutation, though we note that these expected values are stable across different QTL phenotype values (data not shown).

I would name her Grace and call her Gracie as a nickname. Gracie is adorable, and it goes with Vivienne, but I don't think it will sound good when she's an adult.

Born in Germany in 1959, Silvia Hartmann has lived and worked in the United Kingdom since 1978. Hartmann is the developer and primary designer of Energy EFT, Positive EFT, Project Sanctuary, The Genius Symbols, EMO Energy In Motion, Events Psychology and Modern Stress Management.
In 1998, Silvia Hartmann co-founded The GoE, the world's first certifying body for modern energy and wrote the world's first book on EFT "Adventures in EFT: The Essential Guide to Emotional Freedom Techniques" (DragonRising, 1998), which remained the only available book on EFT until 2001, went through 8 editions and was finally replaced in 2010 by Energy EFT.
In 2011, Hartmann created the Energy EFT Master Practitioner Training. In 2014, the EMO Master Practitioner Qualification was added and in 2015, the Project Sanctuary Master to create a cohesive, wide reaching and cohesive training structure for modern energists.
As a modern energy researcher, her work has so far produced a workable definition of emotions, a new system to explain human behaviour, and the decoding of the language of metaphor. Hartmann continues to push forward the boundaries of creativity and functional research and is best known for her inspiring books, stories, works of art and outstanding model designs in theory and practice.
To this day, Silvia Hartmann continues to lead the GoE as president and to evolve the Third Field of MODERN Energy.
Silvia Hartmann's favourite saying is "Love without logic is insanity. And vice versa."
My Story In Energy by Silvia Hartmann
In the 1980s, I was working as a professional animal behaviourist and consultant. A part of this work involved original research, and the research project was to find the cause of "rage syndrome" in animals. This is when an animal - a companion animal, a zoo animal, a domesticated animal - attacks to kill, without warning and out of character for the individual.
The research team of which I was a member discarded one theory after the other. We worked scientifically and studied everything we could think of, from environmental toxins and poisons to genetic predisposition, food additives (for a long time, a high candidate for the "smoking gun"), inoculations, caretaking and more.
The trigger or actual cause for rage syndrome remained elusive for twelve long years - until the day I had a moment of enlightenment, and I found not only a research direction which had been entirely overlooked, but the actual answer to how, why and when animals develop rage syndrome.
I realised that there is an invisible "substance" exchanged between social mammals, which is as important to their survival as is food and water. The presence or absence of this substance drives every form of behaviour, including extreme survival behaviour.
This substance was what we now call energy; back then, I thought of it as love.
Love - that invisible connection between creatures - has EVERYTHING to do with how creatures behave.
When a social mammal becomes deprived of this substance, it will show incrementally more disturbed behaviours until there is a threshold shift and rage syndrome must manifest. Please note I am saying that it MUST manifest - this is structural, entirely systemic and will happen in any social mammal in a predictable fashion.
When I first realised this, it was like a lightning strike. The information was there all at once, and I knew I had cracked the problem of rage syndrome.
It was the effects of the absence of "love."
And so, on a beautiful August afternoon in 1993, my young past aspect went into the front room where her extensive animal behaviour library was housed at the time.
She took one book after the other off the shelves, and looked through each one, and she tried to find the word LOVE - but it wasn't in any of them.
The afternoon turned to evening, then to night, and there she sat, on the carpet, surrounded by a sea of books she could no longer read, and she knew that something had to be done to bring love back into science.
She knew that without love the world can never make any sense at all.
She went on to test her theory on love and attention as the drivers for behaviour, both good and bad behaviour, and created the "Attention Seeking Behaviour Disorder Scale" in 1993, described in "The Harmony Program."
The theory held; not only that, it produced a true flowering of new, more humane, more reasonable, more logical and at the same time, more loving techniques, methods, patterns and approaches.
It was obvious from the start that what the young animal behaviourist had discovered, also held for the other social mammals - humans.
And here we are, 23 years later (in 2016).
We now have the Energy Body Stress Chart, with its positive wing of potential beyond our wildest dreams.
We now have The Guild of Energists, a gathering of modern people who also want to have both love and logic to explain the Universe, and to live happier, more fabulous lives.
Modern energism is the missing "Third Field" in the Mind, Body, Spirit triad. Modern energists are people who address that extraordinary component of actual reality, the worlds of energy.
Our methods are logical, provable, empowering and inspiring.
I personally know this.
The purer and more perfect love becomes, the more logical it becomes; and the same holds true for logic, which becomes ever more beautiful, ever more love filled and astonishing, the purer it becomes in turn.
There is a place where both become one and the same - not different sides of a coin, but actually one and the same.
Science is in desperate need of understanding love - understand energy, understanding emotion because without this, you cannot ever do pure science at all.
The practices of spirituality, likewise, are in desperate need of understanding logic - pure, perfect logic that is as profound as it is beautiful.
Modern energism is amazing, extraordinary and puts a sparkle on everything - it gives us back the whole world, the whole universe, and we get to live once more like a child, filled with wonder and full of grace, joy and amazement at this life of ours.
I want to make people happier. I want to make the world a better place.
Turn up the love.
Turn up the logic.
Forward to the new.

Former Tour de France specialist Chris Boardman, who was one of the peloton's leading riders when the tour last visited English soil in 1994 and a two-time Tour prologue winner, gives BBC Sport an in-depth look at the two stages.
One of my first thoughts when I saw the prologue route was how much I'd like to have ridden it - it's just the sort of course that would have suited my riding style.
It's a very physical course as it's protected from the wind, but only the narrowest of margins will separate the top riders, including Bradley.
With him and David Millar among the top two prologue riders in the world, it could well be billed as an all-British head-to-head.
And the only real obstacle between them and a British one-two will be the massive pressure I anticipate. Everyone will go crazy and the hype will be incredible.
When they board the podium with their feet in the pedals, they need to make sure they don't overcook it with all the anticipation.
The margins are so narrow over the nine minutes it'll take, if you do overcook it your chances of a prologue win and donning the famous yellow jersey [awarded to the leader of the Tour] will instantly disappear.
Having just seen video footage of the time the Tour last came to Britain 12 years ago, it seems like yesterday and has made the memories flood back.
The two stages I experienced - from Dover to Brighton and then a Portsmouth leg - are not dissimilar to the one above and the sheer level of support was astonishing.
Some two to three million people lined the route and I expect double that this time.
Looking at the stage itself, it would have been one I truly hated. I always relished the prologue and actually didn't mind the mountain stages all that much.
On week one, and particularly stage one, it's a very dangerous time - everyone's really nervous and on this route in particular there will be some pretty strong crosswinds.
With those two combinations taken into account, the chances of a crash are incredibly high. All the sprinters will be going flat out, particularly as there aren't any real climbs for the peloton to worry about.
Everyone is desperate for a stage win - there's very few opportunities as there are not too many flat stages and many of the sprinters won't make it past the first week, what with the mountains coming up for everyone.
OK, admittedly the British riders don't have great hopes in this event but you can never discount a rider like David Millar on a day like this. He always has that potential for a breakaway and to stun all the riders around.
I'm not sure Britain was completely ready for the Tour 12 years ago. This time round they will be and it'll be a one-off on a par with Wimbledon or, say, the Superbowl. I can't wait.
