"Most of the online TV shows we streamed looked great"
I take it you didn't try the itv player then. It's god awful, much worse than any of the others.
So, what is the point of the revamp then? Is it really just a different box?
One frustration with the original box that I have been using is that you cannot re-arrange the channel order; you are stuck with the defaults. This makes it much longer to navigate through your desired channels.
Without the wi-fi this box seems pretty pointless,the upgrade just seems to be a facelift of the original you veiw box ,it's not as though it's cheap either at 300 quid for a facelift
You don't need (or in fact want) WiFi for this - just buy a pair of power ethernet plug adaptors & get your internet connection via your power circuit - works a treat!
Hi Danny Philips, I've been looking up the Humax range and read some of your reviews but you continue to miss some important points - Archiving:
How do we archive recordings from the internal HD?
What is the USB port for? Is that for connecting an external hard drive to which we can transfer recordings?
Is there a way of increasing the hard drive capacity either internally or externally (no esata connection)?
Hauppauge have a range of HD PVR units with HDMI pass through, but HDMI is HDCP but the Hauppauge units do have HD capture via component connections, component is 720i Hi-Def, so we could capture to BD or PC Hi-Def via component, but all the Humax units omit component output, didn't you Danny Philips think that was a glaring omission?
I have Samsung Smart TV and use a plug in Ethernet adaptor, so can I just plug the Humax into my TV for the system to work ?
On my Freeview tv i have the homepage of Vintage tv but says my Tv is not compatable to receive this service ,what box do i need please

Best Buy sees an increase in returns, shoppers day after Christmas
BRISTOL, Va. - Gray Thursday, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are some of the biggest days for retailers. The day after Christmas may be the biggest day for returns, but it's not a bad day for shopping either.
Best Buy in Bristol, Virginia said they always see plenty of people buying accessories like phone and iPod cases, and things like video games and controllers, to go along with game systems that were given as gifts.
Asset Protection Manager Randy Mitchell tells News 5 that some essential accessories, like memory cards and batteries, are more popular than others.
He estimated the store sells 200 percent more memory cards the day after Christmas than any other day of the year.
Mitchell said after Christmas store visits help bolster the big months of November and December. "We actually had customers here at 7 am. Lots of returns, lots of gift card purchases. Lot of exchanges. Getting the wrong color of things, they're coming back and getting the right color," said Mitchell

Are Stock Pickers Worth Their Salt?
After reading "Four pros took the $100,000 challenge. Two passed" (Special Report, June 19)--about how these pros picked stocks--I can only conclude that their picks are no better than chance. The average return of these four managers, +14.9% with a standard error of 3.0%, is not significantly different from the S&P 500-stock index gain of +16.6%. Furthermore, even though a sample of four is small, their gains (21.2%, 16.9%, 14.6%, and 6.9%) have a distribution consistent with a normally distributed random variable. These results raise the question: Do money managers have useful information for picking stocks that will provide an advantage over just investing in a portfolio that approximates a stock index? I am inclined to say no.

NARA, Japan—In every city I have been in so far you look out of your window between 7 and 8 in the morning to see streams of schoolboys going by all dressed in their uniforms and gold buttons and caps that designate the school they belong to, either by their shape or insignia. The girls always dress in the black skirts with the white middy blouses so you can spot the students quite easily, and the student group is a sizable one in the community.
Saturday morning I had a visit from a woman pathologist in the Army hospital near Osaka. It is rather a new thing to have women in the Army medical corps and I was glad to have this chance to talk with Colonel Raven.
At ten o'clock I met with a considerable number of college presidents. It was a little awe inspiring and I think they were a little awed by each other for talk did not flow very freely. Perhaps my questions were rather difficult to answer but I wanted to know their opinion on whether the majority of students in the colleges were convinced Marxists and whether there were a considerable number of professors who went along in this ideology. I was told that in general both students and professors like to study these theories but they doubted that there were more than a few really convinced communists but these few made a good deal of noise and were quite prominent because they all knew what they really believed in, whereas the others were groping their way. This is no new situation but I am inclined to think there is more real acceptance of Marxism as a theory among the students in Japan than the college presidents were willing to acknowledge. They all agreed that democracy was not making headway and not being well taught.
We attended a lunch at the New Osaka Hotel, given by the Kansai branch of the U.N. and other associations. The governor of the Province attended the luncheon and also the mayor of Osaka.
Immediately afterwards we started on our drive to Nara which is one of the other ancient Japanese capitals.
When you drive into any of those cities it is hard to believe they are really big cities until you are right in the heart of them. The hotels are usually beautifully situated on a pleasant hillside or at least among trees. Nara Hotel has a beautiful view overlooking a delightful pond.

Spring Training Coverage
Pirate City Notes: Luis Heredia Hits 95 MPH, Throwing Four Shutout Innings
Spring Training Coverage
Charlie Morton threw seven innings and 97 pitches at Pirate City today against the High-A Yankees team. I didn't follow Morton's start much, since he didn't have much trouble with the competition, and was mostly focused on getting up to 100 pitches. The Pirates had some interesting guys to follow at Pirate City today, as both A-ball teams were here, and the short-season team had a game. Here are the highlights from the day.
**Luis Heredia went four shutout innings today, getting closer to the start of the regular season. He was going against the short-season Yankees team, as Morton pushed every starter down a level. Heredia was sitting 91-93 MPH with his fastball, and touched 95. He had some difficulty commanding his new slurve, struggling to break a few off and leaving them high for a ...

Georgetown BID Taps EastBanc Exec As Its New CEO
The Georgetown Business Improvement is getting a new boss. Joe Sternlieb, the new BID chief executive officer begins his job in mid-October. The BID's previous executive director, James Bracco, departed in July.
Sternlieb, who holds a master's degree in city planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has years of experience in D.C., including as vice president of acquisitions at EastBanc, Inc., and as deputy director of the Downtown D.C. BID for 10 years.
"I have a passion for the District and for helping the city reach all of its potential," said Sternlieb in a BID press release. "So, leading the Georgetown BID is one of the greatest positions that a city planner like me aspires to hold. Georgetown is one of the greatest mixed-use neighborhoods in the nation. . . . This is an exciting time for Georgetown and the District, and I am really looking forward to getting started."
"Prior to his leadership role at Downtown D.C.," according to the Georgetown BID, "Joe was staff director of the D.C. Council Committee on Economic Development where he shepherded the BID enabling legislation through the City Council. He currently serves on the Board of several civic organizations, including the D.C. Building Industry Association, D.C. Surface Transit, Inc., and D.C. Vote."
Established in 1999 by its property owners and merchants, the Georgetown BID has more than 1,000 members. Its full-time CEO reports directly to the BID's board of directors.

Wilson Fisk: The city and its future...seeing Hell's Kitchen to its fullest potential is very important to me.
Matt Murdock: I feel the same way.
The Daredevil TV Series (2015-present) has a popularity rating of 64 on IMDb, up 32, though I don't know since when, but I've added to its growing appeal. I liked this show about Marvel's much-underrated superhero. I found it to be dark, gritty, violent, flawed, and oddly unsettling, perhaps because I didn't know what was going to happen next. I was on tenterhooks through Season 1. Besides, I've always been partial to Daredevil, as I'm to Batman.
Going back, I liked the 2003 namesake film a lot because it lived up to my comic-book image of The Man Without Fear (unlike Tobey Maguire who didn't as Peter Parker in Spider-Man). Ben Affleck was perfect as Matt Murdock — blind lawyer by day and vigilante by night. For many years, I hoped there would be a sequel. There was none.
And now the TV series has compensated for the gap.
British actor Charlie Cox steps convincingly into Affleck's shoes and raises hell in Hell's Kitchen, the dark side of Manhattan in New York City. He is not infallible. He makes mistakes and gets walloped a few times. Even by arch enemy Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, who clobbers him like The Thing in Fantastic Four or Bane in The Dark Knight Rises (2012). And like Batman, the caped crusader of Gotham City, he falls only to rise stronger, wiser, and more determined each time.
A little wisdom is what Daredevil picks up after his often impulsive and bloody fights with local thugs, junkies, kidnappers, and extortionists. With every episode he learns more about the masterminds behind his battles—the Russian mafia, Japanese crime syndicate Yakuza, Chinese gangsters, and finally Fisk/Kingpin himself—who want to carve up Hell's Kitchen between them. And slowly, he also learns to be one step ahead of his ruthless enemies.
A television series provides more reel for longer stories. Daredevil gives us more than the heroics of the vigilante. It also offers us a peek into the back stories of the familiar characters—Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), his buddy and law partner Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson), their first client-turned-secretary Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll), famous crime reporter Ben Urich (Vondie Curtis-Hall), and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio)—which adds to the twists and the suspense.
Daredevil is stark and realistic with a degree of brutality not common to superhero movies. Murdock and Fisk, while representing good and evil, share a tragic childhood, their lives haunted by demons of the past—prompting Hell's Kitchen's supervillain to say they're not very different from each other. Although, they have their own reasons for making the seedy neighbourhood a better place.
As Daredevil, Cox is as good as Affleck, while, as Kingpin, D'Onofrio is several heads above Michael Clarke Duncan in the movie version. What works in his favour is his depiction of the bald Kingpin as a businessman who is both vicious and vulnerable. He reeks of evil and yet doesn't necessarily seem like one, if that makes any sense.
Finally, what I found appealing about Daredevil is the music, the opening theme and the background score that plays during critical moments in every episode, heightening the thrill and tension of watching a series that deserved wider recognition.
Next up is Season 2 on Netflix, followed by Season 3 in 2018. This is because, in 2017, Netflix plans to release Marvel's The Defenders comprising Charlie Cox as Daredevil, Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, Mike Colter as Luke Cage, and Finn Jones as Iron Fist. The last three superheroes also have their standalone series.

Mar 6, 2012 - The Associated PressBill would pay for work inspections
CHEYENNE (AP) -- A proposal aimed at increasing workplace safety in Wyoming would pay for five consultants to conduct voluntary inspections.
The consultants wouldn't be able to cite or fine employers if they found any problems.
House Bill 89 won initial backing in the Senate on Monday.
It would also provide $500,000 for matching grants that companies can use to get extra training or safety equipment.
Gov. Matt Mead worked with Rep. Tom Lubnau of Gillette to craft the bill.
The proposal follows the release of a year-long study of Wyoming's grim record as one of the worst states for deadly workplace accidents.
Lawmakers earlier rejected a proposal that would have increased the penalty for safety violations resulting in death to $125,000.
Raises for state retirees targeted
CHEYENNE (AP) -- The House has given initial backing to a bill that would end cost of living increases for public retirees for the foreseeable future.
Senate File 59 advanced Monday after a long debate about whether the move was premature and whether lawmakers were micromanaging the state's retirement system.
The bill, as currently written, would require that a retirement plan reach a funding ratio of 105 percent before cost of living raises could be paid out. The Joint Budget Committee originally recommended that the ratio would have to hit 120 percent for raises to be given.
One report says it could take more than 40 years for the state's largest fund to reach that mark.
Senate File 59 must still pass two more votes in the House.
Ryckman retiring as district judge
GREEN RIVER (AP) -- Wyoming District Court Judge Jere Ryckman has announced he is retiring effective May 21.
Ryckman was appointed to the 3rd Judicial District Court by Gov. Michael J. Sullivan on Sept. 26, 1988. Prior to his appointment to district court, Ryckman served as Sweetwater County attorney from 1979-1983. He was a municipal judge in Green River from 1973-78.
Gov. Matt Mead will appoint the new district court judge from a list of three names submitted to him by the Judicial Nominating Commission.
Applicants must be learned in law, be at least 28 years of age, be a U.S. citizen and have lived in Wyoming the past two years.
New ozone warning around Pinedale
PINEDALE (AP) -- Sunny, warm weather could raise ozone concentrations in Wyoming's Upper Green River Basin.
The state issued the warning Monday but said that there was a chance that winds developing ahead of an approaching storm could lessen the threat.

What board games are kids playing nowadays? Any ideas? Leave me some good ones.
What board games are kids playing nowadays? Any ideas? Leave me some good ones.
hey! well...my children love to play games. their favorites are uno, outburst, apples to apples, and the newest one they like is gifttrap. you might want to look at one of those. my kids like them a lot!
My family is full of word-game players. We've always had crossword puzzle books around. We play Boggle. We play Scrabble. As children, we had Scrabble Jr. I've recently be reintroduced to this game through a neighbor's children. And I think its ideal for Christmas as well.
The gameis designed for two to four players. The game board is two-sided. One side is ideal for prereaders - for children who are just learning their letters or word formation. On this side of the board, the words are already spelled out. The child matches letter tiles to the letters already on the board to make the word shown. The words are common words such as sun, ball and eggs. There is also a wildlife version of Scrabble Jr. with a more environment based theme.
Cranium is the big ticket board game this year. It is really fun and has just won the toy of the year award. Bought one for my daughter.
I got a chess game for christmas 20 years ago, and I have been playing ever since
Scene It? is a lot of fun, as well as the classics: Mon opoly and Life, but with a twist like Mon opoly: Disney Edition or Pirates of the Caribbean Game of Life.
Bob, Forum Moderator
there are games like Don't Break the Ice, DOn't Spill the Beans and ANts in the Pants to to consider.

LOL,funny you mention that...Yesterday I started taking apart the damaged rocker with a sawzall and made a vid it only took a couple min to cut out everything and it took the rest of the day to drill out all the welds. The sawzall is a "must have " tool ...The plasma cutter ,not so much,in fact using a plasma can really screw you up if you cut through something you'll need ,whats nice about a sawzall is you can feel what you are cutting and as soon as you hit something hidden you can feel the difference and stop to check out what it is before its to late...Plasma cutters have their uses but be smart where you use them ,floors have braces ,rockers have inner structures that are hidden until you peel back a layer,I prefer the sawzall....and VERY SHARP drill bits....
Yesterday I got most of the damaged rocker off...I found a lot of extra damage and I'll have to dig deeper than I thought good thing I took the donor chunk apart like I did I'll be needing most of the parts ,maybe all of them...
I took many pics and a few vids but my USB is full so I need another one to down load my camers into ,then I have to figure out how to get the vids downloaded from that to here...
still having trouble with the vids so pics will have to do for now....
so I have all the pieces seperated from the donor and I'm ready to cut the damaged rocker out ...with my sawzall I cut the perimeter of the rocker leaving all the welds in tact ,I'll drill and seperate them next as strips more easily handled and easier to get at.Theres a few that are hidin and cant be reached with the rocker in the way.it takes about 5 min to remove the rocker skin...
Last edited by deadbodyman; 04-04-2013 at 06:31 AM.
Before anything got cut on the car I had to adjust the door gaps the best I could and get a better idea whats going on these hinges are welded on so theres very little adjustment.
from every thing I'm seein it looks like the bottom of the hinge pillar is pushed back a little...Why ? because the bottom of the door is tight and the top is wide but adjusted to ok,plus from the damage I can tell the old door really got shoved into the 1/4 especially at the bottom where the 1/4 was all bent in about a 1/4" so they changed the door, I checked its a different color...And the rocker has a an upward bow so I'm sure the pillar needs to go forward a little.....
Now that I know where all the damage is and what I'm replacing I'll jack up the car to a workable hight...the jack stands HAVE to be under the suspension so its just like it was sitting on the wheels....
The jack stands in place ,wheels off and remove the door....start cutting...
HEY, he didnt put any bracing in the door jamb....LOL
Before you guys have a heart attack....Heres why....
Any bracing will keep it from moving.....I want it to move as I cut out more and more...The hinge pillar has to go forward and I suspect as I cut out more and more it'll relax the metal and spring back and all my new stuff will fit just right...I'll be using just about all of my donor parts...including the inner pillar ,hinge reinforcement and the outer pillar.. Theres actually a lot of damage still here If I had spotted all this damage I would have used this car for all its parts for my 54 P/U which was my original intent...
I cut out everything and beat a few things back in place then test fit the new rocker (I found a red one)...
That wasnt a bad fit,
The pillar still has to go forward a bit but I still have a LOT more cutting to do....I'll take out the inner rocker and since the floor has an upward hump in it I believe when I push the floor down straight most of the pillar will go forward...Then i'll cut out the pillar and replace that...
.Here all the inner structure is test fitted,making sure all my holes from cutting the welds are lining up,they HAVE to line up or something isnt right,remember the donor was straight so when it all goes back together if the holes line up everything is straight..if they dont something is wrong somewhere..
Using drill screws I put the whole assembly together,beat on it some more with BIG hammers untill all my weld holes line up perfectly then it comes back apart and I start welding the inner pillar together (I spliced it ,btw, I also spliced the inner rocker back as far as I could go without getting into all the reinforcement braces ,that would be a night mare and I'm sure its in good shape right there because I laid the new piece over it to be sure...
Well it looks like everything relaxed as I thought it might everything seams to be going together nicely BUTactually putting the door on will tell fer sure,with these welded hinges and no adjustment everything has to be "Dead On" I'll be sweating hanging the door tomorrow....I cant see having any trouble at all but I always worry to tell the truth...
What do Y'all think??? Will it fit? LOL...How bout this ,if it dont I'll bet I can MAKE it fit
I got ahead of myself again...Heres what I did today...
Started working and realized the reason I couldnt find anything I was looking for is because I've made such a mess,I put everything in the box except for what I needed ...I got the inner rocker and pillar primed and welded the hinge support in place ,if the support is off even a little the door wont fit...primed that too and started welding the rocker on...
At the begining of the thread I explained that I didnt want holes in the outer rocker from from drilling out the welds because I wanted to weld them on from the backside heres why...just a slight burn spot that needs very little prep and NO grinding which saves a ton of time plus its not only faster it looks better,in my opinion....
Tomorrow I hang the door....If it fits
I know that feeling. The same feeling I got when I welded in a hinge pocket on a chevy truck. Someone on line told me it was fine to do with no bracing and like a dummy I listened. Soon as I cut that thing out it was like the titanic. I had to measure the other side on top of all my bolt hole measurements and STILL was worrying at home before the weld in.
This morning I did a trail fit of the door and it fit pretty good I got a nice even gap from the rocker and door bottom and a nice even gap at the door to 1/4, I can deffinetly work with that...I bocked the guide coat to make the body line stand out so I could see how the bodylines lined up and they looked good too but HOLY CRAP the 1/4 and door are a lot rougher than I thought...Now I'm thinking I want to replace them too...Not wanting to look at it for a while I hung the fender To see how it fit ,I dont want any more surprizes... It fit really well but needs a little work on the bottom....
Anyway for a trial fit I'm very happy with the gaps and now I can take it all back apart and finish my welding,I'll use that time weighing out whether or not to replace the 1/4 and door ,I'm thinking I will...40.00 ea at the pull it yard ,at least I can go there tomorrow and see what kind of shape they're in....

that door looks pretty hammered as if the body line is pushed in? That would be the final straw for me on that door if so. If the new one lines up the same why not give the door a little lift w/ a jack in the back when no one's looking to raise the body line? With the welded in hinges you probably don't have much choice. Great job btw. Never had to weld in a pillar holding in a welded on hinge but I can see the importance of it having to be perfectly placed. Great work, as always.
It looks decieving the actual damage at the bottom body line is in the 1/4 ,hard to tell from a pic but the center body line is nice ,lifting the door would line up the bottom line but throw off the center line...even the the jamb of the 1/4 is twisted and buckled,thats why I'm thinking of replacing the 1/4 ...the damage to the door is strictly cosmetic and confined solely to the skin...
My thinking at this point is do it up right...replace the 1/4 and door with good quality used parts and no filler work...The door is a no brainer ,replace it, for 40.00theres no way I can use filler and beat that,Thats only 1 hr to do the filler work and dont buy any material thats just labor.
I figure the 1/4 would take 8hrs to get straight with filler,thats 300.00 in labor PLUS materials so again 40.00 for a 1/4 ,5hrs to replace it 3 to remove the old one its still way cheaper to do it right ....Thats IF I can get the good,premo parts no sence getting junk thats almost as bad as what I got (I'll have to take my time and check them out good) ,,,Well,I'm off to the U Pull yard...
Excellent work and write up Michel.

The iPhone: A Blessing and a Curse?
Consultant Forrester Research came out with some really interesting data today: Apparently, consumers that switch wireless service providers for hot new devices such as the iPhone come with a risk to carriers. More than 20% end up being likely to switch plans again in the next six months.
The data, based of a survey of about 4,000 Americans, is troubling to say the least. Over the past year, the U.S. wireless market began to be driven in large part by hot new devices. AT&T comes out with a new 3G iPhone? So Sprint Nextel rolls out the Samsung Instinct or Palm Pre. T-Mobile introduces the T-Mobile G1, while Verizon introduces a slew of new touch-screen LG phones. Just look at TV cell-phone service advertising today: It's all about the phone, and to a much lesser extent about the network.
If Forrester is right, consumers attracted by this advertising may not be the sort that the carriers want. Think about it: A carrier typically spends some $400 spent on marketing to get that subscriber, and it needs at least two years to recoup that cost and to make a profit. If subscribers churn more frequently than that, that cuts into profits. So maybe the subscriber who came to AT&T to buy the iPhone isn't going to benefit AT&T as much in the long term as previously thought.

Ciao Bello. Sergio Pininfarina Dies plus a Look Back at His Flirtation with Audi
by George Achorn on 3 July 2012 in Design Vintage & Youngtimer News
It is a sad day indeed for the design industry and the automotive world. Sergio Pininfarina, the mind behind some of the most beautiful and significant cars to ever turn a wheel, has died. According to the company that bears his name, the legendary automotive designer passed away last night at his home in Turin, Italy. Born in 1926, Pininfarina died at the age of 85.
Born the son of Gian Battitsta 'Pinin' Farina who began his own career as a carriage maker in Turin, the Sergio and the design firm that bore his name built a long career for some of the most beautiful automobiles over many decades. And though his name and his firm are more synonymous with marques like Ferrari and Alfa Romeo, Sergio Pininfarina did enjoy some ties to Audi via several projects over the years.
Most notable and the only to bear the Audi badge, was the 1981 Audi Quartz. That concept began as a 75th anniversary present from Sergio Pininfarina to his good friends at Swiss automotive magazine 'Automobil Revue'. His plan was to build a fully functional sports coupe and after seeing the ground-breaking Audi quattro debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 1980, knew he'd found a basis.
Audi itself was cooperative, providing Pininfarina with a chassis of its state-of-the-art quattro as donor. Over the summer, the new body was added, utilizing many cutting edge technologies. Where the quattro used its quad square standard headlights, the Quartz used 75mm DE lights. The body itself was made of layered carbon fiber, allowing the Quartz to drop some 90 kg on the quattro and to achieve a 0-62 mph time of 7.1 seconds when it was eventually road tested by the Swiss magazine.
Inside, the interior was also subjected to a thorough redesign. White leather sport seats with square stitch pattern, red carpet and a completely stylized dashboard make for a (now retro) modern design. And even though it was a concept, the Pininfarina staff made certain to retain the Audi gauges and switch gear in order to keep the car fully functional.
The Quartz's smooth design stands in stark contrast to Audi's early '80s design language as seen on the ur quattro, that had been set into motion by the original B2 80 design submitted by competing Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro. This re-bodied B2 was slippery smooth. With a drag coefficient of just 0.45 and its wrap-around bumpers, this car's design seemed more a look to the future of the 1990s. A unique finishing touch on the car and a nod to the four rings of Audi was the unique interlocking four exhaust pipes… the only brand mark on the back of the car.
Audi eventually bought the car and the Quartz now resides within the Audi Tradition collection. It can often be found on the concept-themed paternoster in the Musuem Mobile in Ingolstadt, rotating past guests along with many other vintage Audi concept cars.
As for Pininfarina, he eventually moved up to chairman of the family business. The styling house itself grew to not simply design cars but also to build them. In 1986, the firm was added to the Italian stock exchange. By 2006, the aging Sergio Pininfarina stepped down from his post to take the position of honorary chairman.
Below is the full press release from the Pininfarina Group.
Life Senator Sergio Pininfarina, Honorary Chairman of the Pininfarina Group, Passed Away Last Night at His Home in Turin

While usually I am the person making fun of them, today tables turned against me (again) and I was made fun of on air! OMG! LOOL!
This time it was mild, I will post the other one later…
So today I called for this contest called Cash Builder… where basically you guess a 5 digit number and if you got it right you win the cash. For the past couple of weeks I was having good luck getting through the lines, and the previous time the contest ran I started with the first number with 77777 and said this time it will be lucky – and lo and behold, 18 days later when the number was finally guessed the cash reached 733 dollars (2700 AED) – the HIGHEST ever reached!
And Moogle started it! WOOHOO!
So today I called and he said: "It's Kinan right? How can someone miss your soothing voice?"
OK I KNOW that I sound like a smoking goat thanks to the Tom/Bob Incident, bas don't rub it in my face :'(
I know his weak point though – he's on a strict diet and he is forbidden to eat anything sweet.
So I will be sending him a chocolate mousse cake this week. mihmhimihmih

When my husband and I got married- although he was 40 and I was 25 the simple act of slipping that ring on my finger somehow miraculously bathed him in a fountain of youth (in HIS MIND). He truly came to believe that being with me-whether conscious or not- he had shaved 15 years off his real age and in a sense had morphed into a 25 year old as well.
17 years into our union, I think it's also his very stubborn nature that refuses to let him acknowledge the fact that he is indeed 57 and not like me, his counterpart- 42 although to be quite frank- NEITHER one of us is much a spring chicken- but I digress. He's also one of those men who "HAS NEVER GOTTEN SICK"- i.e. he could be shivering under a blanket, coughing up a lung, misty eyed and ask him if he's okay, or if he needs anything and he will tell you- no I'm fine. The man could be laying in a pool of his own SICK, and if I ask him if he's indeed not feeling well and his response will be. "I"m fine, never better". And while his physical being is clearly staging a revolt- mentally in the 17 years of our wedded bliss- he has NEVER, EVER admitted defeat in the face of illness. In fact, one of the badges of honor he proudly boasts is the fact that he worked in a hospital for 15 years and NEVER called in sick — and hey I give him credit for that.
So I NAG HIM to get some rest and he gets annoyed (and then I remind him that: Nagging=Love. Silence=Be very Afraid.)
Of course I am the POLAR opposite if I feel even the slightest tickle in my throat- I plead with him to take over my dog walking and kid watching responsibilities so that I can hole up under the covers and let the Lifetime Movie Network lull me to sleep. I also am quite vocal about his needing to bring me tea and soup- and heck if i could get one of those tiny silver butler bells to ring- I would.
So why does my husband not take full advantage when he is under the weather? Like this weekend, where I can see him wincing in pain as he bends over to tie his shoe and SWATS my hand away when I attempt to tie it for him? YES HE REALLY DID THAT! I tend to think because of his inability to shed his macho ego …and it's at times like that I wish he'd let me play Florence Nightingale, because I TOTALLY make him play Florence when I'm under the weather. And yet I have friends who swear when their husbands come down with even the tiniest sniffle they revert back to little boys who need their mamas…which has me convinced either my husband was raised by wolves- aka at seven years old when he felt sick he climbed into the medicine cabinet and fished out a bottle of aspirin and dosed himself- or he has no recollection of a mother damping his head with a washcloth and soothing his hot temple.
My husband–admits he's not good at asking for help..what about your man?

The young woman's father. newspaper magnate Randolph Wholesale Grain Falls Off Pace WASHINGTON' (AP) Wholesale prices took another big leap forward in February but Ihc increase fell shorl of soaring rales of previous months, the government .said loday. The Bureau of Labor Slalis- lics said Ihal wholesale prices jumped by a seasonally adjusl- cd 1.2 per cenl last month, Ihc smallest advance in lour months but a highly in- flationary rale nevertheless. The increase pushed whole- sale price 20.3 percent higher ll-an a year earlier, an extraor- dinarily sharp rise for any 12- monlh period bill still below record levels. The February increase, lifted Ihe wholesale Price Index lo 152.7 oflhc 1967 average, mean- ing thai il cosl lo buy Ihc same, volume of wholesale good lhal purchased in IfllW. The increase means Ihal consumers will be seeing many ut Ihc rises al Ihc relail level in the weeks ahead. About 71) per cent of Ihc Feb- ruary increase was traced to piice increases for fuel, pri- marily gasoline and residual fuels: niclals. farm products and processed foods and feeds. In January, wholesale prices rose by per cenl. Ihe second highesl monthly increase on record. If wholesale prices wcul up al February's rale for an cnlire year, il would mean a sharp H.4 per cenl inflation rate at this key level. Th bureau said lhal price in- creases of industrial com- modities, regarded as one of the most sensitive gauges of in- flalion in the economy, rose hy a seasonally adjusted ..1 per cent, with prices of metals and fuel leading Ihe way. Wholesale prices of farm products, processed fnods and feeds rose scventh-lenlli.s of one per cenl compared with a steep 5.1 per cenl in January. Actual- ly, the bureau said lhal faun products alone showed a small decline on a seasonally adjust- ed basis, as prices of livestock, eggs, and planl and animal fi- bers fell. The report said consumer fin- ished goods advanced by 1.2 per cenl, will) higher prices for fresh vegetables, processed poultry, s u g a r. cereal and bread responsible fur must n( Ihe rise.

Ihc report said Ihe rise in wholesale prices was 1.5 per cent. Wholesale prices of farm products, processed foods and fec'Js were lip 1.6 per cenl on an unadjusted basis. Industrial commodities were up 1.4 ]XT cent. The report said Ihat prices of refined pelrolciim products jumped 2.1 per reul in Febru- ary, as higher prices [in gaso- line, residual fuels and lu- bricants were offset partially by drops in prices of lighl and middle distillate fuels. Crude oil prices .soared by 13 per cenl and electric power, natural gas and coal prices were up sub. slamially. Iron and sled .scrap prices leaped about 25 per cent and prices of other melals wont up sharply as well, presaging high- er costs later for gonds from which lhe.se raw materials arc made. Also, I h e reporl noted in- creases in chemical prices, par- ticularly the industrial chem- icals and painl. Machinery and equipment costs jumped cighl- Irnllis o[ one per cenl.

Authorities would neither con- firm nor deny thai such a meeting look place, and Fl'-l agent Charles Hates said liis agenls have nol queslionod the luo men. The SLA has said thai Miss Hearst's fate is linked to lhal of liemiro and Little. The last SI.A communique said if ils de- mand for M million was nol mel, il would suspend commu- nication and hold Ihe coed in- definitely until Ihe status of Rc- miro and Lillle changed.

I fix computer networks for a living and only do car repairs as a hobby - I must echo what others are saying - unless you have a couple weeks you can park this vehicle that you can learn electrical troubleshooting on, and following a wiring diagram - your asking for trouble.
If you simply don't have the money at all then go to a wrecker and cut the fan plug off an existing fan harness, unplug the fans on your car, plug in the wrecking fan plug and wire it directly to the battery with a switch, you can run the wires into the passenger compartment for the switch. then manually turn the fan on when you start the car and turn it off when you stop. Hopefully your diagram will show + and - on the fan.
It will probably reduce your gas mileage with the parasitic drain but it will keep the car engine from melting down while you screw around with it.
You need more than the wiring diagram you also need the diagrams that say where the wires are located in the engine compartment and what harnesses they are run inside of. Hopefully your wiring diagram you bought includes that.
I am very familiar with troubleshooting automotive wiring from a tech manual and going in cold this would be at least a 2-3 hour job for me if it wasn't the fan resistor (which of course I would check first). If I was a mechanic doing these all day long in a dealership it would be a 20 minute job because I would know exactly where all the failure points are. And yes I know that if it does take the mechanic 20 minutes to find it your still going to be charged book time of an hour or two or whatever it is - that is how service departments make money - it may seem unfair - but they do have to warranty their work and it is not uncommon for electrical problem fixes like this to fail again.
Most of the time when I've done these things if it's not an easy fix (like the resistor) I end up starting off by following all wiring carefully - about half the time the wiring is chafed, or melted on a header or some such, and even if you know a particular circuit segment is dead by testing with a multimeter, it still takes ages to find the physical wire and follow it through from the diagram.

text: Hi guys! New to this forum I wanted to share this new ongoing painting project I started called "Mary Jane Girls" They're five sexy weed-loving pinup ladies that each have their own personality and stories. So far I've completed the first two girls and the third should be coming out later today. I thought it would be fun to create pinups with personality and combine one of my favorite pastimes. Let me know what you think!

Nero 7 has evolved to become more than just a burning program and while it isn't quite perfect, it's ease of use and innovative features make it a great buy.
Nero has been the most popular media burning software for many years and when we heard that a new version was coming out, naturally we were looking forward to it. We were slightly dubious as to whether it would be any different from the previous iterations but are happy to report that Nero 7 Premium is no longer just burning software. As people have become more obsessed with collating and manipulating their multimedia collections, the need for a complete multimedia package has pushed Nero into evolving. Their answer is to create a clone of Microsoft's Windows Media Centre while also providing various video and audio editing options. Unfortunately, it seems more of a step sideways than a step up, as their first foray is not without its problems.
The tried and true Nero Burning ROM works beautifully and of the 20 discs we burnt in various formats, we had no problems at all. Nero has perfected the burning element of their software and it cannot be faulted. Interestingly, Nero 7 also supports the upcoming HD-DVD and Blue Ray formats, though naturally we couldn't test them yet.
The old programs like Drive Speed, DVD-CD Speed, Cover Designer, BackItUp and ImageDrive remain the same and work much the same as pervious versions too. It is in the new additions to the suite that warrant the most scrutiny.
The biggest change is the inclusion of Nero Home, an all in one extension to your multimedia PC. Nero home is separated into categories, much like Windows Media centre and has very similar functionality. It is driven by Nero Scout, a program that indexes files from your PC to be used in Home. You can also use it to record TV and configure pre-set recording times. All the content is then available to play using a mouse to select the files or a remote control, if you have one set up. Nero home itself works really well and can be customized with backgrounds and various skins. However, the downfall of this program is that it relies heavily on Nero Scout which performs rather poorly. Scout doesn't tend to find all your files and has no individual calibration options. You can't tell it where to look for files. It just sets out on its own and looks through your PC. We had many times when Scout crashed the program, even when testing on more than one PC.
The audio editing software in the package includes Nero SoundTrax and WaveEditor. Both these programs are very easy to use and extremely basic sound editing components. They don't have the power of Soundforge or any of the other audio editors out there but are good for amateur use and perfect for people who don't know a lot about audio editing. For what they are, the work rather well and perform within their design limitations.
A very basic photo editor, PhotoSnap tackles most of the common image related tasks like resizing, simple colour corrections, brightness and hue in a very simple interface. It is very easy to use and works perfectly. It also has some interesting, if gimmick-like effects and has a little more depth than first appearances would lead you to believe. An example is that rather than just have simple resizing options, you can choose the type of process used when resizing whether it be the cloning of the nearest neighbouring pixels, Bilinear or various other resizing techniques. The intuitive interface will have even the most inept novice looking knowledgeable with simple click buttons enabling most effects.
When it comes to video, Nero 7 has Recode, Showtime 2 and Nero Vision working in unison to solve most video tasks. Recode is used to encode DVD films with Nero Digital MPEG-4 files or from one DVD to another. It is rather slow to use, but works quite well and the slow speed is to be expected so as to not sacrifice image quality.
Showtime 2 is Nero's software for viewing video and audio content. It is a very simple player and contains appropriate codecs for many video formats including a DVD decoder. It also integrates with Nero vision when viewing your video projects before committing to a DVD burn.
NeroVision is a single program for all video encoding whether it be to a DVD or CD. Through a series of wizard screens you can easily create a DVD of your favourite video content, transcoded into the appropriate format, complete with DVD menus. It is extremely basic and certainly not professional, in any way, but for most people, it will be perfect. Grabbing some video files from the net and making a DVD to watch in the lounge room is extremely useful and handled beautifully by Nero Vision. Again, you should be warned that the entire process is painstakingly slow, especially when transcoding video for the DVD, while setting up the DVD to burn is very speedy the actual burn process can take in excess of an hour for about 40 minutes of video. We did quite a few test burns, including a 2 hour film which took about 4 hours to burn.
For a novice, the best feature of the entire package is easily the smartstart wizard. While it is not new to Nero, the current version is comprehensive in the choices it gives you. If you don't have a DVD burner, it won't give you the option to burn a DVD but will give you the option to burn a VCD instead. It is this intuitive design and ease of use that gives Nero the deserved reputation for quality programs which happily extends to this version as well.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

We've reached that critical juncture in the yuletide season when the novelty of hearing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Jingle Bells" everywhere you turn has not only worn off but is fast approaching serious bah-humbug territory. But we have a solution! Take a listen to the terrific compilation of funky, Motown-era ditties, In the Christmas Groove.
The album has 12 tracks, many of them obscure 45 B-sides from Christmases past. There's the rollicking "Christmas Present Blues" by Jimmy Reed; the '60s-drenched "Christmas Morning" by Zebra; the Soul Saints Orchestra's bluesy "Santa's Got a Bag of Soul"; and (our personal favorite) "Funky Funky Christmas" by Electric Jungle.
The songs are catchy, festive and—best of all—entirely fresh. Plus, Amazon is offering the whole album as MP3 downloads for just $5. Now there's some of that Christmas spirit we were looking for.

HAYDEN LAKE, IDAHO -- The Kootenai County Sheriff's Department says two people, who went missing from Camp MiVoden over the weekend, were found dead Monday evening, September 6.
The two campers, 64-year-old Virginia L. Acker of Pasco and 40-year-old Gary E. Otterness of Onalaska, were reported missing Sunday when they failed to show up after a motorcycle ride on Saturday.
Richard Parker, camp director, says, "We contacted the Kootenai county Sherriff department as soon as we became aware they were missing."
An extensive search took place throughout the day on Monday utilizing volunteer Search and Rescue members, Kootenai County Sheriff's Deputies and helicopter support from Spokane County Sheriff's Department.
Around 7:15 p.m, a volunteer searcher spotted a motorcycle crash along Hayden Lake Road near Rhapsody Lane, and upon further inspection, found the bodies of the missing campers. Both the rider and passenger were found about 100 feet down a steep embankment in the timber.
The Kootenai County Sheriff's Department says both riders were wearing helmets at the time of the crash. The Kootenai County Traffic Accident Investigation Team has been called in to help reconstruct and investigate the crash.
Parker says, "We're deeply saddened by this tragic accident. Please keep the families of these two individuals in your prayers."

New Fred Meyer stalls at early design meeting
The planned replacement development for the Greenwood Fred Meyer was sent back to the drawing board after the Northwest Design Review Board didn't see enough options at the July 13 early design guidance meeting.
The board is requiring that the $77 million project be submitted to a second early design guidance meeting because they felt the designers presented only one viable plan for the project, not three, as is required.
Project architects GGLO presented three design options, though little time was spent on the first two options, which were rejected as not viable by both the design review board and the public.
Plan A was a 40-foot-high, 170,000-square-foot big box store with surface parking along Northwest 85th Street and some extra retail space.
Plan B was a big box store of the same size along 85th with a parking garage to the north. Morrow Lane would be lined with retail, and housing would be placed on top of the garage.
The preferred Plan C was presented to the community last week. It is a sunken Fred Meyer along 85th with surface parking and a garden store on top. 85th would be lined with extra retail space and two-story housing, which would also line Third Avenue Northwest.
A three-story parking garage with three stories of housing topping it and townhouses along its side would be at the northeast corner of the property.
The board said the first two plans were not as well-developed as Plan C and were not viable because they don't meet the Phinney/Greenwood neighborhood design guidelines. The public said the first two plans were already thrown out by a neighborhood process.
"I don't think we are truly seeing three concepts," said one board member.
The board instructed the designers and developers to come back for a second early design meeting with a Plan C that takes the board's and public's comments into account and also a plan for a two-story, instead of single-story, Fred Meyer building.
Tom Gibbons, Fred Meyer director of real estate, said a two-story building would not likely happen because it hurts sales.
"There won't be a two-story store," developer Bruce Lorig said. "The economics don't work."
The board said it would like to see a two-story plan even if Fred Meyer will never build it to see what is possible with the site and in the long-shot that Fred Meyer would like the plan so much they would consent to build it.
One of the changes the board and the public would like to see in Plan C is a re-establishment of the natural street grid – either an east-west Northwest 86th Street through street or a north-south Second Avenue Northwest through street.
The board is also interested in seeing a better and more thought-out public spaces included in the design and more work on moving the bulk of the project's massing – the 60-foot-high garage/housing combination – away from the northeast corner and the neighboring single-family homes.
The board also wants to see each plan comment on the soil ecology of the site, which sits on a peat bog.
According to Fred Meyer, construction on the project is set to start in fall 2011 and be completed in 2013.
