The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
To hear the industry tell it, anti-microbial soaps are humanity's last best option in a war against germs that lurk everywhere. On a site called Fight Germs Now—"the official source on anti-bacterial hygiene products"—the American Cleaning Institute sings their praises, warning that "sometimes plain soap and water is not good enough." The fast-growing market for anti-bacterials—most of which rely on an active ingredient called triclosan—is estimated at $1 billion. Triclosan is also in items such as socks, yoga mats, cutting boards, ice cream scoops, and pencils. No wonder the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that it's present in the urine of three-quarters of Americans.
But on December 16, the FDA issued a proposed rule that would require companies to provide "more substantial data to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of antibacterial soaps" before selling these products. The move is in response to the mounting evidence that triclosan might not be as effective as manufacturers claim. Bill Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University, points out that triclosan soap products are useless when it comes to most seasonal infections: They target bacteria, not the viruses that cause colds and flus. And they don't work any better on bacteria than standard soap—which also gets rid of viruses. In a 2008 review in the American Journal of Public Health, researchers scrutinized hundreds of hand hygiene studies and found "little evidence" that anything beat regular washing in reducing the symptoms associated with infectious gastrointestinal or respiratory illnesses.
Not only that, but there is strong evidence that anti-bacterial soaps contribute to antibiotic resistance. In 2004, a team of University of Michigan researchers found that exposing bacteria to triclosan increased activity in cellular pumps that the bugs use to eliminate foreign substances. These overactive excretory systems "could act to pump out other antibiotics, as well," says Stuart Levy, one of the study's authors and a leading researcher on antibiotic resistance at the Tufts University School of Medicine. That's a problem, since troublesome bacteria like streptococcus, staphylococcus, and pneumonia are already evolving defenses against our best weapons. Worse, there aren't enough new drugs in the production pipeline. Over the past 15 years, the FDA has approved just 15 new antibiotics—in the preceding 15 years, it approved 40. The World Health Organization now views antibiotic resistance as "a threat to global health security." And while triclosan's contribution to the problem hasn't been adequately studied, Levy believes it could be "significant."
Triclosan also gets into waterways, where it could harm aquatic life. A 2013 Loyola University simulation found that the chemical caused "dramatic" algae die-offs and altered the natural composition of bacteria in streams—a potential problem for higher species, including vulnerable frogs and salamanders. Other recent studies have found that triclosan disrupts hormone production in lab animals.
The public health implications of triclosan led the European Union to ban it in 2010 from any product that might come into contact with food. Two years later, Johnson & Johnson pledged to phase it out entirely. The Food and Drug Administration was supposed to deliver a ruling on the chemical's safety in 2012, but it still hasn't completed its review. Meanwhile, with traces of the stuff showing up in Minnesota lakes, lawmakers there are pushing what would be the nation's first triclosan ban.
After learning about all of this, I was worried I might have to abandon my habit of squirting Purell all over my hands every time I get off the subway. But there's no triclosan in Purell. In fact, most hand sanitizers rely on alcohol, which slays germs on contact instead of killing some and just weakening others, as the anti-bacterials do. Vanderbilt's Schaffner assures me that alcohol-based hand sanitizers "will absolutely not contribute to the problem of antibiotic resistance, since they are not antibiotics."
Elaine Larson, an associate dean for research at Columbia University's School of Nursing who has led dozens of studies on hand hygiene, argues that sanitizers can be more effective than soap and water, whose efficacy in removing germs depends on how thoroughly you wash. "If I wanted to clean my hands fast, I would use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer," Larson says. The CDC agrees: In its guidelines for health care workers, it notes that "alcohol-based solutions were more effective than washing hands with plain soap in all studies."
Note, though, that alcohol doesn't remove actual dirt—which is why the CDC recommends regular soap and water as the best all-around option outside hospital settings. And hand sanitizer won't work against the stomach bug norovirus or the armored spores of C. difficile, a serious and sometimes life-threatening infection most often found in hospitals: "You literally have to wash the spores off your hands and flush them down the sink," Schaffner says. But for virtually all other germs, alcohol is very effective. "During flu season I am in favor of abundant use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers," he says.
So if you're a germophobe like me, it doesn't hurt to grab a bottle of Purell for the road, but you might consider ditching those anti-bacterials. Contrary to industry spin, most of the time, plain old soap and water is good enough.

As anyone who read the Sony VAIO VGN-CS11S/W review will know, we were none too impressed with the last Sony laptop to pass through our doors. So it was with mixed feelings that we opened up the box of its NS20E/S, especially since at a measly £475 it's the cheapest Sony notebook we've reviewed.
Thankfully, initial impressions are very positive. Sporting a similar uniquely-textured finish as the NR21Z we reviewed last year, this silver laptop not only looks good in a chunky sort of way (no tapered edges here) but is also far more resistant to scratches than most with plastic finishes and of course doesn't pick up fingerprints at all.
Opening the NS20 up, the textured look continues on the laptop's lower half, though the screen bezel is smooth. Those who hate reflective bezels will be glad with the semi-matte finish, though unfortunately the screen itself makes up for it by doubling as a mirror.
Aside from one loose hinge-housing and a tad of flex if pressing down hard on the palm rest or the centre of the lid, the overall build quality is good - certainly a measure above some of the budget brands out there..
This quality extends to the tile-style keyboard, which is excellent. Keys have a nice amount of travel, a positive action and their shallow, flat profile is pleasant to type on. We had no problems with the layout either, leaving just a hint of flex as the only meaningful complaint here.
Likewise, the touchpad is first-rate. It is large, responsive and its smooth matte surface is easily differentiated from its textured surroundings. Its chromed touchpad buttons offer just the right amount of feedback and their flat profile prevents them from being slippery.
Above the keyboard is an unobtrusive speaker grille, below which are two physical shortcut buttons, a rarity in these touch-sensitive days. The first sensibly mutes the volume, while the second, marked 'AV Mode', calls up an XMB-like interface giving easy access to multimedia, Internet, the laptop's webcam and Skype - all simple to access in other ways, but some might prefer to use this.
Why is it you have to buy a more premium laptop so you aren't lumbered with a blobby, big boned, fisher price device?? They must deliberately make these low end models less attractive than the other ones. I'm sure they could sleek up these products.
Obvious answer - they want you to pay more to get more.
There are certainly ways they could sleek it up a bit but not very much without adding to the cost.
To be honest, most of us in the office rather liked the design. It's not sleek, but doesn't feel particularly chunky, and is FAR more rugged than most - how good is that glossy designer laptop going to look after three months' use with scratches and fingerprints all over it?
Ive got the VGN-NS11J/S of this series, i got it for £600 with a 2 year warrenty from john lewis and I love it. Granted however since i bought it more powerful laptops have come out for the price but hay thats just technology going out of date fast as usual.
I never really liked Sony's budget models, my advice is to get the cheapest version of their premium line you can get.
Back in December I got my dad an FW11E for £580. The best thing is I picked it up in Argos, LOL.
The NS sounds great! But looks like it just got replaced by the NW. The NW looks and sounds fantastic! And has great value too!
Do Sony still fill their machines with buggy bloatware and inappropriate software? The last Sony portable I owned (some years back) even had SQL Server running on it, grabbing 5% CPU now and again. Why? Who knows, but took days to dig it all out and remove it.
I have had one of these for nearly a year and agree with the above review, but am now experiencing one annoying fault -- the L key is malfunctioning. It has to be hit hard to produce a character.
The strange thing is that this seems ony to happen in Internet Explorer and Outlook -- not, for example, in NotePad. I suspect therefore that it's a software problem connected with processing time, as opposed to a poor quality key.
hi i went onto my vaio recovery centre and did a factory restore but now its saying "windows couls not complete the installation. to install windows on this computer restart the installation" so i clicked ok and it does the same thing over and over again. i also have vaio recovery discs which i bought a while ago but i can use them as i cant see anything on my laptop screen as its broke so ive been connecting it to a monitor. can someone please help me on what to do thanks x
I brought my one 5 years ago and it's still going - not as well anymore but I've had serious use out of it and it's been brilliant. Trying to decide what to go for next as a lot of the latest laptops look plasticy - I really like the silver bevel finish on the NS. I'll definately be sticking with Sony though as this was really reliable and no issues in the first 3-4 years I've owned it.

Ashley MacIsaac
Cape Breton
Ashley MacIsaac has made albums which run the gamut from traditional Cape Breton fiddle music, to boundary busting rock 'n' roll-styled fiddle arrangements, to fronting a full on rock band as lead singer. One of the most celebrated Canadian roots musicians of all time, having sold in excess of 500,000 albums, Ashley has garnered international acclaim by playing the fiddle in that hard-nosed, traditional Cape-Breton style, while adding his own spin, mixing genres and updating Celtic music to appeal to a broader spectrum of fans. Ashley broke through to the mainstream with the double-platinum genre-bending Hi, How Are You Today? in 1995. International radio play for the single, "Sleepy Maggie", and a regular slot on MuchMusic made Ashley an instant Canadian icon. He has since experimented with musical styles and evolved into an award-winning performer, writer, and singer. Awarded an Honourary Doctorate from Cape Breton University in the spring of 2016, Ashley continues to surprise crowds, whether it's his new project, FIDLR with Jay Andrews (aka Sticks), or a traditional set with Maybelle Chisholm McQueen.

Maxxie:let the evening unfoldMature
Somehow, I managed to get through the day smiling and being bubbly the way I always am at work, in spite of my hangover and the ridiculous crushing disappointment that I wasn't on top of things enough to be my persuasive self when Cayden was attempting to leave.
As I'm closing up, I, for some stupid reason, want to go back to that club. Between needing another stiff drink to end the day and it being a favorite haunt of mine, I was shamelessly hoping that Cayden might turn up and that I might find a way to change his mind.
Or at the very least he would pick me up as his drunk for the night again.
So... that would be why I'm here again at the bar, looking around hoping Cayden might be there. Or even that blonde guy that was getting wasted. Y'know, I'm sure we took him back with us, but... I can't remember so good. He wasn't involved in the sex, though, that's for sure. Shame, really. I haven't had a good threesome in ages.
I give myself a mental slap. Stop being such a whore, Maxxie!
Anyways, I take my seat at the bar and order few vodka shots to get me going, just waiting to see how the evening unfolds.

By AutobotV
Sorry it took so long...very long...I will try to update!
It's the day you've all been waiting for! Wheeljack and Soundwave are off on their first...no wait...second date! I have been looking at all your ideas and I found some of them interesting...and I got some nasty ideas in my mind when I read them! So thanks for sending your ideas and enjoy! Right now Soundwave was waiting at the meeting point for Wheeljack, all polished and shiny. He left Frenzy, Rumble and Laserbeak at home because that lot always caused a hassle when he wanted alone time, complaining about leg room or something. He only brought Ravage but he was neatly tucked away inside of him, you never know when Bumblebee might be about. He wanted to impress Wheeljack since this was their official date and he even bought Wheeljack a...a...a...Soundwave what is that?
Soundwave: IT'S A ENERGON CUBE STUPID!
AutobotV: Ohhh...aww you even shaped it like a heart!
Soundwave: I DID?
Anyway Soundwave waited patiently for his date to arrive and his spark jumped a couple of beats when he saw Wheeljack running up to meet him. Wheeljack halted in front of Soundwave and straighted himself up, trying to make himself look at least presentable. By the way, he's wearing his face-guard again. Wheeljack seemed to give an expression that he was happy when Soundwave gave him the heart shaped Energon cube.
'Thanks Soundwave...why is it shaped funny?'
'Right...anyway...where do you want to go first?'
Wheeljack stared at him confused and Soundwave smacked his own head. He had told himself not to take advice from a human but did he listen to me? Nooo...he had to go and talk to Spike, that little brat! As Soundwave tried to recover from the mistake he had made Wheeljack shrugged and took Soundwave's hand.
'How about we start off with a walk? I know a cool little park!' offered the Autobot.
Wheeljack now felt stupid. It was a few miles off from where they were and Wheeljack forgot that Soundwave transforms into a cassette player not a car. Wheeljack could get there easy but unless Soundwave grew a set of wheels he wasn't going any where. Jeez this date is starting off well! Wheeljack tried to solve the problem and came up with a solution.
'How about you slip inside me and I can give you a ride?' he suggested.
At that moment Soundwave went red, really red. Jeez he's going redder than Cliffjumpers paint job! Then Energon started spewing from his nose and he began to freak out.
'W-W-W-WHEELJACK...W-W-WE HAVEN'T...E-E-EVEN G-G-GOT TO...THAT S-S-STAGE...YET!' he stammered.
At first Wheeljack was confused. What stage was he talking about? What did he say wrong? Why was Soundwave freaking out?Wheeljack replayed with what he said a second ago in his head to try and spot the problem.
'How about you slip inside me and I can give you a ride?'
After a few moments trying to figure it out he started going red himself. He had no idea he had said something so normal and yet it sounded so...dirty Soon both Wheeljack and Soundwave were freaking out and I just started whisling and wooing!
AutobotV: WOOOO! GO WHEELJACK, YOU NAUGHTY BOY!
Wheeljack: I-I-I didn't mean it like THAT!
AutobotV: Soundwave seems to think so! But the question is did the readers get it? If not I'll start off with...
Wheeljack: NO, NO, NO, NO! Just leave this one out OK?
AutobotV: Fine.
Wheeljack tried to clam Soundwave down. Soundwave was still freaking out and a fountain of Energon was spewing from his nose, running down his face. Wow, Soundwave's a perv...WHAT AM I SAYING! Excuse me I'm going to run off and hurt myself. Wheeljack shook Soundwave's shoulders a bit.
'Soundwave I'm sorry, that came out wrong!' he cried.
'I-I-IT'S FINE...WHY DON'T WE JUST WALK?' stammered Soundwave, who finally stopped spewing Energon.
'Sure, but are you OK? You look like a little stiff, do you need a hand?'
Soundwave spewed even more Energon and began to totally spaz out so bad he made Red Alert look normal. Wheeljack tried to calm him down after he figure out, again, what he had just said.
'I didn't mean it like that Soundwave! I'm sorry!'
Soundwave fainted after losing so much Energon and Wheeljack tried to wake him up, unaware that the couple were being watched from the shadows by a single Decepticon...no wait two...oh no wait three, yeah three Decepticons, who were all called Reflector...so basically it's just the one guy but he's split into three. They watched...or should it be he watched? Anyway they/he watched the couple from a distance. Then they all faced each other.
'OK here's the plan! We wait till Soundwave is distracted and then we grab Wheeljack!' said one of the Reflector bots.
'Why do we want him again?'
'We're of the same mind you idiot! We...I mean...I have been over the plan an hundred times already!'
'I don't remember.'
'You're an idiot.
'It wasn't me it was him! And you just called yourself an idiot you twit!'
'Hah! You called yourself a twit!'
'Wait if I'm remembered and you didn't remember then how did...'
At that moment a bolt of lighting shot down from the sky making the mechs jump in fear. They had clearly pissed someone off but who, I wonder. After a moment or so they heard the angelic yet demonic voice of the writer booming all around them.
AutobotV: This is getting confusing, from now on you guys shall be known as Reflector 1, Reflector 2 and Reflector 3! Got it?
Reflector: Who's Reflector 1?
AutobotV: YOU FIGURE IT OUT!
Reflector 1 sighed as he decided to go through the plan again with his other two comrades. He somehow pulled out a board with lots of pictures, maps and words. Clearly they had been planning this!
'Look it's quite simple. We kidnap Wheeljack, force him to make another FIL or pile of crap and then we make Optimus Prime fall in love with us! Happy now?'
'How are we supposed to catch him with Soundwave standing around? He'll kill us!' cried Reflector 2.
'We'll just wait till he passes out or something. We can't do it now cause it's not in the script so we just got to wait as the story progresses. Are we all cool?'
The Reflector bots were silent until one said,
'So I'm Reflector 3 right?'
Anyway Wheeljack had finally awoken Soundwave and the two began walking towards the park. It was quite a while away so I magically sent them there instantly however they had no idea that I did that because I promised Wheeljack no funny stuff. Wheeljack and Soundwave were now in a nice, peaceful, cute little park.
'We sure got here quick didn't we?'
As they walked around they then noticed a funny looking ice-cream stand that was called Energon Ices! Serving the ice cream was none other than Grimlock, our loveable yet dummy of a Dinobot. Wheeljack was surprised that Grimlock could run his own business, he couldn't run his brain half the time.
'Grimlock? What are you doing?' demanded the mechanic.
'Me Grimlock make Energon Ice cream! Couples get free scoop but me Grimlock not know what couple is!' boomed the dumb Dinobot.
'Well...we're a couple...I guess.' muttered Wheeljack, blushing when Soundwave glanced at him.
'OK...Me Grimlock will give you free scoop.'
The Dinobot then gave the couple a scoop of ice cream, which seemed kind of pointless since they were wearing their face-gurads. As Wheeljack took his ice cream, Grimlock suddenly held out his hand.
'That's 4.98.' he demanded.
'WHAT? YOU JUST SAID THEY WERE FREE!' cried Soundwave.
'No, me Grimlock say couples get THREE scoops!'
'We only got two!' argued Wheeljack.
'That's because Grimlock got the third scoop!' snickered the Dinobot, as he tried to force the ice cream in his non-existing mouth.
Wheeljack just sighed and was thankful that Grimlock was too busy trying to figure out how he was going to eat the ice-cream. He looked at his ice cream, almost forgetting that he had his face-guard on. As he quickly slipped it off he glanced over at Soundwave and went bright red when he saw that Soundwave had also removed his face guard was was licking the ice cream. Wheeljack just stared and his own ice cream melted in his hand.
AutobotV: Aww Wheeljack...you being naughty again?
Wheeljack: N-no. I just never saw his mouth...I mean full face before.
AutobotV: Yeah I bet you wanna taste of that!
Wheeljack: S-shut up!
Soundwave noticed and stopped licking the treat, looking at Wheeljack with concern
Then he sent Wheeljack a cute little grin, even I'm turning into putty just thinking about it. Wheeljack went bright red when Soundwave spoke.
'Is something wrong?' he asked...wait a minute.
AutobotV: Soundwave what happened to your voice?
Soundwave: Oh that? It happens when I take the face guard off. Plus I was getting annoyed talking in capitals...why?
AutobotV: Oh I'm not complaining, you just sound so sexy right now. Well you sound sexy with it on but you know what I mean.
Wheeljack just continued staring, his face getter redder by the minute when Soundwave tried talking to him. Wheeljack was holding his ice-cream so tight it melted into his hand. Soundwave even noticed that Wheeljack was getting redder and hotter by the second.
'Are you OK? You have a fever or something?'
Then Soundwave did something that I taught him how to do by the way! He pressed his forehead up against Wheeljack's to check his tempeture. Now Wheeljack was getting hotter and even more redder. Soundwave was face to face to him and their lips were inches apart! Wheeljack was freaking out and sort of tried to get near but get far from Soundwave as possible. I just decided that this was going no where so I gave Wheeljack a little push! Wheeljack thought he was going to explode when he somehow ended up kissing Soundwave! Soundwave also went red and jumped back. Wheeljack forced a cheesy grin before running off.
'I just using going to the loo's!' he cried.
Soundwave cocked his head in confusion.
'Since when did we ever use toilets?' he pondered.
Wheeljack slammed the door and tried to stop his spark from jumping out of his body, he was that nervous. He pictured a rather hot and smutty moment between him and the Decepticon, but due to ratings I cannot release that information. I just giggled like a little school girl and sent him back out there, but he has no idea that I've done that. Wheeljack looked around in shock to find himself with Soundwave again and tried to think of something to rid his mind of dirty thoughts.
'So...er...where do you want to go next?' he asked.
'The movies?' suggested Soundwave.
Wheeljack flushed, I told him that's where couples go to make out and stuff! The mechanic nodded and the two mechs left Grimlock all alone, who was still tyring to figure out how to eat an ice-cream, even though he doesn't have a-
Grimlock: I know, me Grimlock will transform!
AutobotV: He does have brains!
Meanwhile Wheeljack was trying to figure out what to watch with Soundwave, looking at a long list of movies. Wheeljack wanted the Decepticon to pick the movie since he had no idea what to choose.
'Er...what do you want to watch?' asked the nervous Autobot.
'How about that film about an empire of machines that enslave mankind and feed off their energy while they dream and think that they are alive in a made up world and a puny human, who has strange powers, has to stop them!?'
'Sorry, Prime says I can't watch that film...it confused him.'
'Okay, how about the one where machines have taken over the world but they have to send one back in time to kill the mother of a human who could stop them?'
'Prowl told me it was a film meant for Decepticons.'
'How about we watch the one where aliens come down to Earth and ride around in giant robotic tri-pods and destroy man kind?'
'The old one or the crap one?'
'The crap one.'
'...What the heck...anything with Tom Cruise.'
As the mechs entered the building to buy popcorn and soda, they were unaware who else had entered the cinema to watch the crap film! Earlier on it was Optimus Prime, OP Jr and Prowl.
Optimus, is this wise? OP jr is still too young for a violent movie like this!' sighed Prowl
'Nonsense, he needs to learn how we Autobots fight Decepticons...I'm just gonna tell him that the big giant tri-pods are Decepticons so he'll grow up to hate them!'
'That's not it! That movie is crap and terrible!'
As they entered, they were shortly followed by the Reflector bots! After seeing both Wheeljack and Optimus prime enter the building they got rather excited...or should that be HE got excited?
'Hey, I saw Wheeljack and Optimus Prime come in here!'
'Sweet, this will be like hitting two Starscream's with one stone! We get Wheeljack to build the FIL and get Optimus Prime to make sweet, hardcore love to us!'
'Don't you mean Starscream and Sky Warp?
'Shut up Reflector 2!'
'I'm Reflector 3!'
As they ran in, and while I was recovering from a bad mental image, Megatron arrived and he was carrying a pregnant Starscream. The red Seeker was still whining and knitting as Megatron carried him into the cinema, thinking a movie might make Starscream's water burst.
'Hurry up Megatron! This is supposed to be a good film!'
'Yeah right, anything with Tom Cruise is bound to be dull.'
'But it has man killing machines in it! You like man killing machines!'
'We ARE man killing machines! Besides that's the only part I'm looking forward to!'
As all the mechs entered the building to watch the film, Wheeljack sat close to Soundwave, not noticing that the cinema had gotten dark or who else is in there...jeez what is going to happen next?

Very disappointed!
We stayed here on a Saturday following a night out as we needed to be in London early on Sunday.
The location was perfect, near to a couple of tube stations but that was it's only positive. On arrival there was no staff present, after a few minutes of waiting a cleaner who couldn't speak English went off to find someone who could check us in and he told me I was lucky as the manager was just about to go out. The room was disappointing, it was clean however very outdated and in need of decorating, a lot of damp on the ceiling. There was a tiny bathroom with loose taps, no soap or shower gel and the thermostat on the radiator was broken so was constantly pumping out heat in an already warm room. There was also no kettle, tea of coffee in the room. On the way out there was again no staff at reception to ask for any soap. We hadn't booked breakfast but we were surprised to see a poster on the door of our room saying a continental breakfast was included for all guests, we went down to the "bar/restaurant" to find it is used as a store room for some table and chairs, building equipment and car baby seats. Again no staff present to ask so we just left and had breakfast elsewhere.

Do not stay at this hotel
No-one should pay to stay at this hotel.
It was not only dirty, but dangerous. There was broken glass on the stairway, ladders left out in communial areas, dirty carpets with plaster dust around - it was not in a fit state to be occupied. The reception was unmaned and I waited over 5 minutes to be greeted, the room was tiny with a poor layout, there was a nasty smell in the bathroom, insufficient toilet roll for a nights stay, no soap or hower gel, dirty shower, and incredibly uncomfortable bed. Absolutely disgraceful

re: receptacle replacement
I recently replaced an old receptacle (two prong) from 1950's to a new three prong receptacle.
there is no ground wire in the box, and I did the multimeter a/c voltage test to the box to see if the box was grounded. it was not. (with no ground wire)
I did not realize until after i installed it that I was supposed to use a GFCI.
I want to understand the reasoning for the GFCI preference in this application.
The questions are:
1. is what i did dangerous? I don't really see how much has changed from my old plug to my new (both are not protected)
2. the plugs that go into this box are all two prong. Does that make a difference, that i don't have 3 prong plugged devices?
3. Do GFCI achieve the same effect as a grounded plug? ie. if i decided to plug a three prong device in the future, will a GFCI actually "ground" or "protect" my plugged in devices.
4. If i discover on future installs, that there is no ground wire, but the box is grounded through the multimeter test, what is the best method to proceed? standard three prong with ground wire to the box? or GCFI with a ground to the box. (is it worth spending the $15 for every receptacle.
5. if anyone knows any exceptions or differences for the Canadian code, i would be interested to hear that.
thanks in advance

If the plugs are all two prong then you should have just left the two prong receptacle.
It is only dangerous if someone plugs in a grounded device and it has a fault.
GFCI protects the user in case there is a short that energizes the metal parts of the unit. If someone touches the metal frame and starts to receive a shock the GFCI will trip before they know it.

Yes in a rare instance what you did could be fatal. You now have a chance to plug in a grounded item to where there is no ground.
Lets say you plug your vacuum cleaner in and there is a problem and the hot wire inside the vacuum gets shorted to metal part of the vacuum.
With a proper ground it would short out and trip the breaker preventing any harm.
With out the ground there it will short out but have no place to go. Once you grab it the vacuum and complete the path to ground you will get electructed.
A GFI will be able to tell if the current on the hot wire is different then the current on the white wire. If it sense this it will trip itself before causeing any injuries.
So yes it can be dangerous and it also against code to do that. I believe you can buy two prong outlets still, you may need to look online or go to a wholesaler.

I have a 1950's house also. When I moved in, I noted that the metal boxes were grounded, however there was no ground wire inside the box. The ground wire was wrapped around an outside screw on the box. It is possible that some of your outlets are grounded this way. Of course, when you checked the existing cable, if it was two wire with no ground, that would indicate that the specific outlet was not grounded. I don't know exactly what "voltage test" you performed with your multimeter, however just because you read 120 volts between the hot leg and the box does NOT indicate that your box is properly grounded. A properly grounded box requires a ground wire to run from the box to the service. It is possible, perhaps unlikely, that a box may be touching metal in the house, say a copper water line, which is "grounded", although not to code, in which case the voltage between the hot and the box could indeed read 120 volts.
Is what you did dangerous? Well it clearly did not change the existing condition, i.e. you still have an ungrounded outlet. However, it does present the illusion that you do have a grounded outlet, so a person might in fact use the outlet under the mistaken impression that it is grounded. Using an ungrounded outlet is more dangerous than using a properly grounded outlet, I leave it to the philosophers to determine if a three prong, ungrounded outlet is more dangerous than a 2 prong, ungrounded outlet. It might violate Canadian code, I would not know.
A GFI works regardless of whether your outlet is grounded or not. The GFI monitors the difference between the incoming and outgoing current, i.e. the difference in amperage between the hot and the neutral. I believe most of them are set to trip at about 5 milliamps, which is well below the danger threshold for humans. Installing a GFI provides a much safer outlet than one without GFI protection, especially in conditions where the person might be wet (bathroom, garage, outdoor outlet, kitchen). However, the GFI per se does not ground the outlet, so if you do install a GFI, you need to label the outlet NO GROUND, at least in the states.
I ask the impossible!
In the '50's you may find that you have metal junction boxes which are bonded by way of metal conduit, be it metal conduit pipe or flexible metal conduit, with 2-conductor wire that does not have a ground wire.
On what basis is it that you believe you need GFI? GFI use requirements are based on location, generally it is in required in wet locations and these are generally the bathroom, kitchen, basement and garage. Laundry and outdoor as well.

so from what i understand from these posts, please correct me if i'm wrong, with no ground, the GFCI will protect me from shorts, but it will not protect my equipment from a sudden shock because i have no ground form - like a thunderstorm?
also, i mentioned, that none of the plugged items in those receptacles have a ground, like a tv, radio, lamp
but in the future that could change.
I am already convinced to get one, for the safety factor.
Is it ok to wait until i start using three pronged items in those particluar receptacles, or should I replace the newly installed ones right away with a GFCI?

A GFCI protects people, not equipment.
Yes, you should replace it now, while it's still fresh in your mind to do. 1) It's a code violation 2) do it for the protection of people it offers. A GFCI receptacle…10 bucks, an person injured or killed…priceless.
Just because you can, doesn't always mean you should
I ask the impossible!
With all due respect, I can't help but feel a little worried giving this advice when I get the sense that he's not comprehending the basics behind what is being proposed.
For my part I'm a layman not an electrician, and what I do know is based on NEC and its application in the US, I know little enough about Canadian code to say I might as well not know anything... So with that in mind, here's my concerns:
1) I don't know what location these outlets in question are - if it's not a wet location, is AFCI the more appropriate protective mechanism than GFCI? I've gathered that according to code that is, but I'll admit that I don't actually understand the rationale and as such I could only make recommendations based on following what I know of NEC.
2) The poster keeps talking about replacing the outlets he put in (plural) with GFCI, which implies to me that he isn't aware that he only needs one GFCI outlet so that all downstream outlets in the circuit will have GFCI protection. I was similarly unaware on my first electrical permit project, wired a basement workshop and bought a dozen GFCI.... This was new wiring so it had the advantage that I could easily identify the first receptacle in a circuit, I didn't learn that I only needed 1 until I called for rough inspection - in the mean time I also installed outlets on wires before rough (again because it was my first time, and I didn't know exactly how much I needed to do before calling for rough other than that I was not to cover walls with drywall), and as such it took me a lot of trial and error before I even figured out about putting load wires on the load side of the GFCI and line wires on the line side of the GFCI - Imagine how much I was tripping GFCI's on top of GFCI's. (And at the risk of showing what a noob I was, I even started off wiring the project as a MWBC... Don't ask, I got it right later and redid the whole thing)
Before the poster starts installing GFCI, we really need to establish if he can identify the first outlet in the circuit.
3) If there is difficulty establishing clearly that the box is not grounded and not being sure what outlet is electrically closest to the panel, it probably would still be best to replace the 2 prong receptacles with new 2 prong receptacles. The original problem was that the wider neutral prong doesn't fit into the older receptacles. New 2-prong receptacles will resolve this issue.

***new information collected***, mystery ensues.
These two receptacles in the living room are the only two I have encountered with no ground (i didn't check before i bought the new receptacles assuming there were grounds like the rest of the receptacles I have replaced in the past). I probably replaced 8-10 in the house so far. They all had grounds. These two in the living room are the only ones that did not have it in the box.
I have just done some more investigation (edited this post). I looked at the cables attached to the breaker panel. THey all look the same. The cables are marked "Triangle Triex 14/2 with Ground" . That means there should be a ground wire throughout the house.
I just want to know the better method, two prong or GCFI or other method and if they are legal. that's it. Is it possible someone cut off the ground? leading to the box. that means if I could only reach it somehow and reconnect it.
suggestions appreciated.
these two outlets are in the same room, but are on different breakers. One of these two has two sets of neutral and hots. I think that means it could be the first receptacle in in the circuit, but not necessarily.
The reason for wanting to install a GFCI is I am just trying to follow recommendations from posts in this forum. I would like to point out, that the reason why I bought standard 3 prong outlets, is because in other ares in the house, I have found grounding wires when those receptacles were replaced (maybe have done 10 so far).
WillK: This is a forum of advice to "do it yourself" getting advice from other people who are experienced in this particular topic. I know you are trying to help, but at the same time, your not helping by going way off topic for the questions I posted. First of all, posters should address what they have to say to the poster, and not to "the rest of the group". Frankly, I find some of your remarks condescending, implying that I am not aware of basic electrical. If you read the posts from top to bottom and don't understand what I said. If i was not clear on a description, ask a question on what I meant rather than making that assumption that I just don't know. That is rude. You should not school anyone on an obscure bit of information that the laymen don't know, that is only slightly relevant to this topic and holding it over my head. This is a thread killer and helps no one. It seems you were not trying to come off as rude, so I don't take offence to it.

Alright, so if this is for 2 outlets in a living room on 2 different circuits, one of these outlets clearly has additional outlets in some other room on the same circuit.
I think both of your options are legal, the new 2-prong solution is more straightforward obviously, and my story was intended to illustrate the challenges I had on a previous project which are the kind of challenges one might face without understanding what they are getting into.
I'll focus on informing regarding GFCI:
First of all, your installation is error-resistant because GFCI are shipped with the breaker tripped and you can't reset it until you have it connected correctly with power on... If you have a wiring error you won't be able to turn it on.
So as you know, it offers additional safety. It would be your decision if you want to choose GFCI or conventional 2-prong receptacles, so consider the drawbacks which generally relate to the fact you're adding something that might cut off power. Two things to consider:
1) You had said someone elderly will be in the house, I don't know the people in your house, but I'd consider whether they'd be comfortable with resetting the GFCI. It's a small button and the location of the receptacle might be somewhere low to the ground that might be difficult for some elderly to bend down to reach.
2) For the outlet that has other outlets on the circuit, a GFCI trip might disable other outlets and someone else in the house not familiar with how the house is wired might be confused and unable to figure out what is going on. This might be prevented if you only wired the GFCI line side and pigtailed the wires so whatever else is on the circuit doesn't need to connect to the load side of the GFCI.
Being that we're talking about a living room, if this was being done to current code, arc-fault protection would be appropriate rather than GFCI. This can be done without rewiring, it is a matter of replacing a circuit breaker in the panel. If you consider this a third option, I'd point out that it would be the most expensive of the 3 options. I'm just pointing this out because I think you should understand it well enough to weigh it as an option.
I'll also point out the drawbacks of AFCI. For AFCI, the neutral wire in the panel connects to the breaker rather than the neutral bar, and then there is a white wire from the breaker that connects to the neutral bar. It is a larger breaker and it might be difficult to install in some areas.
And as far as your 2 outlets not being grounded, I'm not sure you've really presented enough information to conclude that they are ungrounded. I understand that there are not ground wires. I had a house built in 1950 and I had outlets that did not have ground wires, but they were grounded.
If these outlets are in junction boxes that are not metal, and you have no ground wire, I would agree that definitely means it is ungrounded - but I don't think non-metallic junction boxes were in use in the '50's so that seems unlikely.
You described an AC voltmeter check. I'm assuming you are working with a multimeter. With the circuitbreaker off, you could check with your multimeter set to read resistance and put one lead on the junction box and the other on neutral. If the resistance is 0 or a low number, then your junction box is most likely grounded and your 3-prong outlets are okay. If it doesn't give a resistance reading, then the box is not grounded.
I'd do this check to both wires going to the outlet, just in case the neutral is not the wire that you expect it to be. It wouldn't be the first time hot and neutral were switched, I had that in the kitchen of my current house.

In fact, you should probably assume that if I post a "before" picture, I am posting it because I am soliciting advice on a proper replacement for one of MANY things done wrong by a previous owner.

If all the other NM cable in the house has a ground wire, then I suspect the wire was either cut or broken off in these two boxes. If you have enough slack in the wires, you may be able to pull more wire into the box and find enough bare wire to make a connection. You stated that one box had cable entering and leaving the box... if there is really no ground wire there, then the box(es) downstream should also check as ungrounded.
The NEC gives you the option of installing a two prong receptacle, a GFCI labeled with "no equipment ground", or running a new ground wire from there back to the panel or the grounding electrode conductor. I think the CEC may be very similar.

Just a note. When replacing a 2-prong, ungrounded receptacle, you do not have to install an AFCI breaker, whether that jurisdiction now requires them for a particular room or not. Replacing a receptacle is considered a minor repair, and would not warrant any such 'upgrade'. Also, changing from a 2-prong to a standard 3-prong and adding a AFCI's still would not make it compliant. AFCI do not work the same as a GFCI, and are not a suitable replacement. AFCI's help protect the building from fire, GFCI's protect people from shock.

I checked one of the other outlets on one of the circuits (it is in the basement under the living room). that basement box has a ground wire, and I believe the ground wire is functioning.
I would be the only person "in charge" of this sort of thing in the house. I have to assist that elderly person on a regular basis.
They are metal boxes for sure.

I ask the impossible!
Grounding protects anything, the idea is that if electricity is trying to go somewhere other than where it's intended, it will go on a wire because it is the easiest path for it to take. Without the ground wire, the electricity might try to go through a person causing injury or through something like the house where it might ignite a fire. Grounding systems are compatible with and used simultaneously with other protection methods.
If something happens where the ground wire has to carry electricity so that it isn't going through a person, this tends to draw a lot of current and will hopefully cause the breaker to trip.
GFCI shuts off power when there's a difference in the electricity through the hot wire and the neutral where it is intended to be returning. This is something that happens when people become electrical conductors as might happen because their wet and holding something electrical like a hairdryer.
AFCI is electronic and looks for changes to the alternating circuit signal that indicate that there's some sort of arc that might start a fire.
I look at all of these as things that protect people and equipment and the house in a way...
I think code wants GFCI in wet locations because people getting shocked is more likely in those locations while code wants AFCI in other locations because the fire risk is the more likely thing to happen.

1) repairing things without making changes is the least confusing
2) rebuilding things as it would be built in new construction is more confusing
3) repairing old electrical but not completely replacing it is the most confusing

Apsara - The Stranger
Apsara arrived at the scene just as the stranger fell on to the ground and began to laugh. Tarlock, the village's leader, stopped behind her. He was a young man in his early thirties. He had a muscular build and looked as if he could kill someone with his bare hands. His dark green eyes always showed his hidden smile at all times. He raised an eyebrow as he watched the stranger. He leaned down to Apsara.
"I think this one must have hit his head one too many times." Tarlock muttered with a very amused voice. Apsara couldn't help but smile at the comment.
"And I thought I had problems." Apsara replied still staring at the stranger. Though his clothes were worn and torn you could still tell they were expensive. Where had he come from?
"Hey!" Umiah's voice screeched, interrupting their conversation. "Will you two buffoons quit smiling and help me out over here?" Apsara felt her smile vanish as she limped over to the stranger. She began to lean down to help him up when she felt something grab her arm. "Oh no you don't young lady. Not with that leg of yours."
"Umiah, it's been almost a year since-" Umiah cut her off with a wave of her hand.
"No. Go inside and get the room ready." Umiah said firmly. Apsara opened her mouth to protest but turned it into a sigh. Umiah gave her one last look before turning to snap her fingers at Tarlock. "Get him inside but watch his leg." Apsara went into the house as fast as she could and made her way into the spare room where Umiah kept her patients.
She moved the sheets and pillows in the way she had done many times before. Shortly after, Tarlock entered with the stranger. Umiah followed behind. Apsara helped Tarlock as he laid the man on the bed then set to work.
"Apsara grab the bandages from the cupboard along with the Balm of Gilead, Saffron threads and the Hyssop." Umiah ordered as she pulled up the man's pant leg so she could see the brake better. "And get me some sturdy sticks I can use to splint this leg!"
"On it." She went over to the medicine cabinet and located the herbs then limped back into the room.
"Apsara, I need you to keep him occupied. This is going to hurt." Umiah said, not taking her eyes off the leg. Apsara nodded and walked to the other side of the bed. She sat on the stool that was always kept there.
"Hey, my name is Apsara. What's your name?" she asked with a smile once he'd made eye contact with her. She was surprised he hadn't passed out yet. There was a pause before he opened his mouth to speak.

Dennis Rodman -- I Helped Kenneth Bae Get Released ... Here's the Proof
- published: 09 Nov 2014
- views: 975
Dennis Rodman says he played a crucial role in bringing imprisoned American Kenneth Bae back home from North Korea ... because he begged Kim Jong Un for the guy\'s release -- and he\'s got proof. Rodman tells TMZ ... he sent a letter to the dictator back in January after returning home from the DPRK ... pleading with Un to let Bae return home so the Worm could go back to North Korea without getting bashed. In the letter, Dennis states, \"I understand the crimes [Bae] committed, and ask you my dear friend, the highly respected Marshall Kim Jong Un for his release to show my country how loving and compassionate you and the DPRK can be.\" Rodman continues, \"I ask for your mercy to prisoner Kenneth Bae and would be eternally grateful for his safe return and make a big step towards bridging the gap between our two nations.\" According to reports ... Bae is currently on his way home -- after the North Korean government contacted U.S. officials out of the blue saying they\'d discuss his release. He\'d been held there for 2 years, 7 months. http://www.tmz.com/2014/11/08/dennis-rodman-kenneth-bae-kim-jong-un-release-proof-letter-north-korea/ http://www.wochit.com...

The Bristol Selectboard faces an interesting question concerning its proper role in the upcoming Act 250 board's ruling on the proposed Lathrop gravel pit. It is common for town selectboard's to contribute to such hearings with information concerning how the proposed development fits in with the town plan and any other matters that may contribute to the board's over-all understanding. The dilemma facing the Bristol selectboard is how strongly they should present the controversial nature of the proposal and the public's opposition to it in a letter to the Act 250 board.

As Middlebury bids John and Bonnie McCardell its fondest farewell and best wishes in their new venture, there is yet one more reason to treasure their arrival in town (separately) more than 30 years ago: with a new challenge to meet emerging needs through the United Way, the McCardells have again set the bar a notch higher in ways to give back to one's community.
BP's oil spill in the Gulf Coast has prompted older stories of BP's mismanagement to rise to the fore. The stories are of political favoritism involving the White House, Department of Justice and the EPA, all undermining the good work that was trying to be done by bureaucrats doing their job.
As Gov. Douglas contemplates vetoes of last-minute bills passed by the Legislature, many of his supporters over the past eight years are appealing for his support of H.485, a bill that reforms the Current Use law. Douglas is considering a veto presumably because it restricts a landowner's ability to enroll the land in Current Use for a short time to avoid higher taxes, then take the land out of the program to sell it at a premium. It is, in short, a loophole in the 30-year-old law that was created in the 1990s when a "development penalty" was weakened.
Note to voters: Vermont State Auditor Tom Salmon has a hot temper, is crude, doesn't think doing things that are illegal is any big deal, and is not very smart.
But don't take my word for it.
You be the judge.
The Middlebury selectboard's decision Tuesday night to create an ad hoc committee to study ways to boost the local economy is a welcome move that offers much potential, first by pushing more aggressively for economic development, and secondly, by doing more to help promote the town's events and activities that helps keep Middlebury's businesses vital and greatly enhances the town's quality of life.
Nor is it a moment too soon.
As seniors in high schools across the country approach graduation and fateful decisions about their future, it's interesting to note that more students than ever are continuing their educations in college. It's not surprising, as the world economy is becoming more knowledge driven and the prospects for labor-intensive jobs diminish, though the difference in wage opportunities are worth careful study by all prospective graduates.
Trust in government is at a recent low. The Pew Research Center made national news recently with its annual survey revealing that four in five Americans said they had little faith that government could solve the nation's problems and that they had little trust that government would do the right thing on any major issue. The impact of those findings, the report said, could have implications in mid-term elections this fall.
Political cartoonist Jeff Danziger nailed public sentiment recently when he captured the outrage Uncle Sam, and the nation's taxpayers, feel after bailing out the largest national banks and financial firms only to now see them wallowing in obscene profits. The cartoon shows a fat-cat banker sporting a sinister grin with his arm around Uncle Sam's shoulder and a coin poised on thumb and forefingers ready to flip the coin. The caption says: "C'mon… You're a sophisticated investor. Heads I win, tails you lose…"

Type: Bug
Status: Closed
Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: None
Component/s: core/termvectors, modules/highlighter
Lucene Fields:New
If you are using term vectors for fast vector highlighting along with a multivalue field while matching a phrase that crosses two elements, then it will not properly highlight even though it properly finds the correct values to highlight.
A good example of this is when matching source code, where you might have lines like:
one two three five two three four five six five six seven eight nine eight nine eight nine eight nine eight nine eight nine eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen
Matching the phrase "four five" will return
two three four five six five six seven eight nine eight nine eight nine eight nine eight eight nine ten eleven
However, it does not properly highlight "four" (on the first line) and "five" (on the second line) and it is returning too many lines, but not all of them.
The problem lies in the BaseFragmentsBuilder at line 269 because it is not checking for cross-coverage. Here is a possible solution:
boolean started = toffs.getStartOffset() >= fieldStart; boolean ended = toffs.getEndOffset() <= fieldEnd; // existing behavior: if (started && ended) { toffsList.add(toffs); toffsIterator.remove(); } else if (started) { toffsList.add(new Toffs(toffs.getStartOffset(), field.end)); // toffsIterator.remove(); // is this necessary? } else if (ended) { toffsList.add(new Toffs(fieldStart, toff.getEndOffset())); // toffsIterator.remove(); // is this necessary? } else if (toffs.getEndOffset() > fieldEnd) { // ie the toff spans whole field toffsList.add(new Toffs(fieldStart, fieldEnd)); // toffsIterator.remove(); // is this necessary? }

Thanks Chris Earle, could you boil this into a small test case showing the issue? You can model it after on of the existing tests... and then use "svn diff" to make a patch with that test and the proposed fix? Thanks!
Vijay Kamabathula yes please!
Would anyone object to me having a look at this?
Test case and fix based on examples and source code provided in problem description. I started with the proposed fix and modified it quite a bit to get something that should get the job done. Also expanded on the proposed test cases to include things like phrases that span entire values.
Thanks Nik Everett, patch looks good, I'll commit shortly...

Cars are cool because they are essentially big, strong robots that you can get inside and control. The world is better than you thought with this Groupon.
The Deal
- $140 for window tinting on the full vehicle (up to a $300 value)
Certified technicians work with cars of all sizes, including SUVs, as they attach SunTek window-tinting film that blocks up to 99.9% of UV rays and 82% of heat.
A-1 Tint Pros
The skilled techs behind A-1 Tint Pros draw on more than 20 years of experience as they laminate panes of glass with SunTek window films. Their trained and certified automotive tint installers apply each sheet of window film in one piece, bringing it all the way to the top edge to avoid unsightly gaps. They give residential and commercial windows the same meticulous treatment while preventing dirt and air bubbles from creeping into their work and obstructing views. A-1 Tint Pros also offers security films that physically bond both film and glass to the window frame. This prevents windows from shattering when assaulted by strong winds, intruders, and the crescendos of Bohemian Rhapsody.

6th Annual Forensic Genealogy Institute to be held March 7-9, 2017, in San Antonio, Texas
The Council for the Advancement of Forensic Genealogy (CAFG) is proud to announce two first-time tracks--unique to CAFG--being offered at the 6th Annual Forensic Genealogy Institute to be held March 7-9, 2017, in San Antonio, Texas.
The first track, Applying Genetic Genealogy to a Forensic Specialty, will be led by Debbie Parker Wayne, CG, and offers a unique focus on genetic genealogy for forensic genealogists. This three-day workshop is based on Genetic Genealogy in Practice, with additional material customized for forensic genealogists. Genetic genealogy is a complex topic requiring practice and study to master. Each student will be required to purchase and have in-hand a print copy of the textbook that will be used in the course: Blaine T. Bettinger and Debbie Parker Wayne, CG, Genetic Genealogy in Practice (Arlington, Va.: National Genealogy Society, 2016); available online at http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/cs/home.
The second track, Becoming an Expert: Law and the Forensic Genealogist, will be led by Judy Russell, JD, CG, CGL, aka The Legal Genealogist. From the standards that govern genealogical research to the rules that govern courtroom evidence, the law requires expertise of the forensic genealogist. In this three-day, hands-on program, current and aspiring forensic genealogists will learn more about becoming that kind of expert, from applying the Genealogical Proof Standard to finding the applicable law to understanding the legal processes that govern expert witnesses in forensic cases.
CAFG is the leader in education for forensic genealogists. Registration will open October 15. http://www.forensicgenealogists.org/institute/

The RSPCA has welcomed growing support for CCTV in slaughterhouses, including new recommendations from the Farm Animal Welfare Committee (FAWC), which advises government on the welfare of farmed animals.
The recommendations come in the wake of secret footage by animal rights group Animal Aid was recently released that allegedly showed abuse at a slaughterhouse in Yorkshire.
The group also launched an e-petition calling for mandatory CCTV in slaughterhouses, which has reached the target of 100,000 signatures needed to gain consideration for Parliamentary debate.
Julia Wrathall, head of the RSPCA's farm animal science department, welcomed the support.
Dr Wrathall said: "The RSPCA submitted information that contributed to the report and we welcome the clear message of support for CCTV, although it is disappointing it stopped short of urging the introduction into legislation of mandatory CCTV in abattoirs."
"We firmly believe CCTV in slaughterhouses can be a valuable tool to help improve animal welfare. This is why it is already a requirement in RSPCA farm animal welfare standards, meaning all abattoirs that are members of the society's Freedom Food scheme must install and use CCTV cameras throughout their premises."
FAWC's recommendations include:
- All slaughterhouses should install CCTV in all areas where live animals are kept and where animals are stunned and killed.
- All assurance schemes, food retailers and others in the food chain should require CCTV be installed in the slaughterhouses associated with them.
- CCTV footage should be retained by the slaughterhouse for a period of at least three months and be made available to authorised officers.

Twinsters- 2 Women Raised on Different Continents Find Each Other
Janill Gilbert stashed this in Social Media
Stashed in: Social Media, Korea, Awesome, Stories, Social Media
Oh cool:
My blood pressure dropped and my eyes opened as wide as they physically could on her date and place of birth: South Korea. I turned to my friend on the bus and excitedly shouted,
"She is born 11/19/1987!!!!"
"So what?" he casually asked.
"I am born 11/19/1987!!!!"
Her name and surname sounded like she would have been adopted too. Then I found her YouTube video: "How It Feels to Be Adopted.".When I first saw the video, I thought that my American accent sounded amazing! Then I realized… oh right… NOT me. I immediately thought of The Parent Trap, except that it was reaI life.
I decided to get in touch with her.
Here's the video:
You're welcome. I do think a feature-length film from them could be very compelling.
And they have a Kickstarter:
I don't think they have done a DNA test yet. They have the same birthdate, were both adopted from the same country, have many similar likes and dislikes, but before raising all this money, and making a big project out of it, shouldn't they do a DNA test first? or did I miss that part, and they already did?
They don't say whether they have or not.
Clearly they feel a kindred relationship toward each other regardless.
I would want to know, so my heart didn't get broke due to getting so attached ;)
Yep, I would guess so, this experience is making them close, and they still have a lot of shared experiences ;)
And a lot of tastes in common too, it appears. In food, music, clothes, and movies.
Nightline last night stated that they were tested, and they are a match, they are sisters!
