Budding actors are frequently advised to learn another trade, and if precedent is any guide, then carpentry makes a very good Plan B. Harrison Ford was building cabinets for George Lucas when the director cast him in American Graffiti. Thanks to Lucas's later films, Ford is now – judged by the box office receipts from his movies – the most successful actor of all time. The sixth name on the same list also belongs to a former carpenter, though his success has not earned him Ford's name recognition.
And yet this actor's films have collectively grossed over $3bn. He was in The Empire Strikes Back alongside Ford. He was in the first two Superman movies. He has worked with Ken Russell, Richard Attenborough, Milos Forman and John Schlesinger. And he's the only actor to have lent his larynx to a character in every single one of Pixar's 11 films – including the forthcoming Toy Story 3. You probably know John Ratzenberger best as Cliff, the bar bore from one of the most successful sitcoms of the Eighties, Cheers. "When I think back on all the historical events I was involved with without realising it at the time," says Ratzenberger, now 62, "it takes my breath away how fortunate I've been."
Ratzenberger grew up in a factory town in Connecticut where, he recalls, "family vacations for us meant going out in the back yard." In 1969, while he was doing some casual building work in Bearsville, New York, he heard that there was a large outdoor concert taking place nearby, whose organisers needed some heavy lifting done. Ratzenberger signed up to drive a tractor ferrying supplies around the site at, yes, Woodstock.
A couple of years later, he was in Britain to visit a friend in London. He planned to spend three weeks here, but ended up staying for a decade. During that time he established his own improv comedy troupe, Sal's Meat Market, and acted in 28 films, including Attenborough's A Bridge Too Far. On his return to the US, he soon picked up his role as ego-crazed mailman Cliff Clavin in Cheers. "Cliff was my baby," he says. "I auditioned for the part that became Norm, but I invented the character of Cliff during my audition instead."
Not many actors get to experience the collegiate atmosphere of a lengthy working relationship with a single team. Ratzenberger has had that joy at least twice, with both Cheers and Pixar. "And what unites them both," he explains, "is the quality of the writing. In Cheers you could never see the joke coming. Most other sitcoms you see it coming from five minutes away. If they weren't happy, the Cheers writers would change the entire ending of an episode while we were filming. Pixar are perfectionists as well – they'll work three or four years on a story before they start animating it."
Cheers and Pixar also share at least one other similarity – the artists are in control. On the former, says Ratzenberger, "They wouldn't allow any studio executive into the writers' room. There was a piece of tape in the hallway outside and if any studio exec crossed it the writers would just get up and walk out. The studio understood that the writers were sacrosanct."
Pixar's boss, meanwhile, is the director John Lasseter, and Ratzenberger describes the studio's headquarters with delight: creatives are allowed to work in offices of their own design, hence one has built his cubicle entirely from cardboard boxes, and another works in a tipi. "John's office is full of toys. It's like going into a big playground, but look at what they achieve at the other end of that. When I started at Pixar it was six people. Now it's a huge studio that took over Disney's animation. One of the beautiful ironies is that when he worked for Disney, John kept talking to his bosses about computer animation and they showed him the door. Now he's back and running the place."
Ratzenberger had never heard of Pixar when he was asked to voice Hamm the piggy bank in 1995's Toy Story. But by the time they asked him to take a cameo in their second film, A Bug's Life (1998), everyone knew about Hollywood's hottest animation team. P T Flea, the circus ringmaster in that movie, remains Ratzenberger's favourite Pixar role, "because everything in his life is a crisis – he always makes me laugh." Before the recently Oscar-nominated Up was released, Ratzenberger was ranked number 11 in the chart of highest-grossing actors. He's now up to number six – so Harrison Ford ought to watch his back when Toy Story 3 emerges in July.
Nowadays the studio writes roles to suit Ratzenberger. His part in Up was as a construction worker, and they cast him as Mack the truck in Cars, he explains, because his father was a truck driver and drove a Mack truck. His working-class heritage is reflected in his life outside the movies: he co-founded the Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs Foundation to encourage young people to learn a trade.
"Because I grew up in a factory town, I understand the value of being able to put a nut and a bolt together. The rest of us can't do what we do otherwise. If you're a surgeon, you'd better have a good plumber around, because if there's no hot water coming out of the tap, you're not doing any surgery. We're running out of skilled workers in the US and the same is happening here in the UK. So we started running camps to teach kids those skills. Hollywood has taught people that if you're a carpenter or a plumber or an electrician then you must be stupid. I wanted to give some respect to people who actually make something for a living."
That's not to say he doesn't admire Pixar's work ethic. "Until Finding Nemo," he says, "it was impossible to animate water and have it look like water. That was the chore they gave themselves. In The Incredibles, they'd never had fabric blow in the wind properly, so they set out to do that. The fur in Monsters, Inc was new. Every one of their films breaks a barrier. They could've rested on their laurels by now, but they never will. They view each film as if it's their first. That's why they're Pixar."

The Skinny
While most of the supposed experts out there are questioning if Jay Cutler has the tools around him to succeed in the passing game, they're forgetting that the Bears feature one of the best one-two punches at tight end in the league.
Desmond Clark played all 16 games for the fourth straight season, catching 41 passes for 367 yards and a touchdown as the starter. Former first-round draft pick Greg Olsen, who technically wasn't the starter but was on the field just as much as Clark, bettered those numbers with 54 receptions for 574 yards and five TDs. The only disappointment at the position this past year was rookie Kellen Davis, drafted in Round 5 to be the third tight end in short-yardage and goal-line situations but proved to be a much better pass catcher than in-line blocker – he was pulled from the lineup in favor of offensive tackle Chris Williams around midseason.
With blocking specialist Michael Gaines signed as a free agent and Fontel Mines still on the roster at this point, there should be some quality competition among this quintet throughout training camp.
Reasons to be Optimistic
Nobody thinks that Devin Hester and Earl Bennett are as good as Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal, who Cutler threw to in Denver, but the strong-armed signal caller got the ball to Tony Scheffler and Daniel Graham quite often, too.
Scheffler and Graham combined to catch 72 passes for 1,034 yards and seven scores in 2008, so Cutler knows how to get his tight ends involved in the passing game. And Olsen is just as much a receiver as he is a tight end these days, splitting out wide or in the slot as often as he puts his hand on the ground. Davis may have failed as the new and improved John Gilmore during his rookie season, but he's a tremendous target at 6-7 and 262 pounds and always seems to make some great grabs in practice – he may turn out to be a serious receiving threat one of these days.
Gaines was brought in because of his blocking.
Warren Wimmer Photography
Even though it's hard to justify four roster spots set aside for the tight end position, the Monsters of the Midway might do that if Gaines turns out to be the road-grading blocker offensive coordinator Ron Turner needs every now and then.
Causes for Concern
Having a pair of tight ends that can help pick up first downs and keep drives alive is a nice asset to have, but it's difficult to assemble a top-notch aerial assault in the NFL unless the wide receivers are making plays down the field.
If the safeties aren't concerned with the likes of Hester and Bennett doing damage outside the numbers, suddenly Clark and Olsen won't have much room to operate in the middle of the field. And while very few offenses rely on the No. 3 tight end, it's easy to underestimate just how important Gilmore was when he put on a Chicago uniform – he was essentially an extra tackle in the ground game and could catch the ball when necessary. Unless Gaines can do that job or Davis makes a commitment to be a better blocker, then the roster will have a minor hole all season long.
Plus, the mere fact that this team might have to keep four tight ends means another position will likely be a man down.
Clark has been an underrated player ever since he rejuvenated his Windy City career in 2006. Olsen is a star on the rise and an early candidate to make his first Pro Bowl in the NFC. Either Davis or Gaines will have an opportunity to contribute aside from just special teams when the time comes.
It's impossible to project whether or not strength at tight end trumps weakness at wide receiver, but the Midway Monsters have the depth required to find out in 2009.

MAKING EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS MOTION TO PROCEED -- (Senate - November 15, 2007)
Mr. COBURN. Mr. President, I heard the majority leader's speech. I wanted to put him on notice that I will object to the bringing forward of this bill. It was introduced September 19 and reported out of the Banking Committee on November 13, 2 days ago. We received notice, via hotline, that they were attempting to clear the bill by unanimous consent yesterday afternoon.
This bill addresses a very delicate and complicated area of housing policy on which we cannot afford to make mistakes. I know many Senators, including myself, are strong advocates of how we can help those who find themselves in trouble now. I know the authors of the bill would like to pass it expeditiously. However, it is a big bill. It is an important bill. Under the unanimous consent request, that would mean we would not debate it and offer amendments. For those two reasons, I object, as a Senator from Oklahoma, and I know several other Senators would as well.
The problem with hotlining bills is they don't get due deliberation. Here is a stack of bills that were offered by unanimous consent in the Senate before the August break. Most of the Senators had never read the bills, didn't know what was in the bills. Thankfully, many of them were objected to by Members of the Senate. It is not a good way to legislate.
This is an important issue. We seem to have a tendency that we are afraid to do the real work we need to do because we will be criticized as the one stopping the bill. I am not afraid to stop a bill. I believe we need to get things right. It is not about not wanting to help those in need today, but there are several significant things in this bill.
First of all, the bill changes it so that if you have a $417,000 home, you can get a mortgage; if you are in trouble, we are going to take care of that. That is twice the median price of a home in this country. It lowers the downpayment to 1.5 percent. It exposes American taxpayers to $1.6 billion over the next 5 years. We can solve this problem. We cannot solve this problem by blowing a bill through here without good debate, rigorous discussion of the issues, and alternative options, via amendments, which will address, No. 1, how we got where we are in terms of the subprime mortgage mess; No. 2, how we restore confidence in that market; No. 3, how do we work to secure better oversight on the mortgage industry that put people in the position of owning property they could not afford; and the predatory lending practices Senator Reid talked about. We can address those. Doing it under a hotline, under unanimous consent, where we don't have an option to study the bill and think about what other options there can be or how many hearings were held on the bill and what is the response, is not the way to legislate.
I believe the President has not said he would not support this bill. I may be wrong, but I seem to recall that from the past.

Did you know?
Silk: Is known for its softness and comfort and beautiful draping and lustre. A natural fibre, it dyes easily and so is especially known for its vibrant hues. While luxurious and soft, it is very strong and because it is absorbent it is warm to wear in the winter as well as cool in the summer. Depending on how it's been treated, it may need to be dry cleaned, hand washed, or could be machine washable so please read the care instructions.
Jersey: is a knitted fabric that most often has an extremely fine surface which is distinguished by its high degree of elasticity. The resulting comfort is what makes jersey so popular.
Viscose: used to be known as 'artificial silk' because like silk it has superb drape, is soft to the skin and can be dyed in rich colours. A man-made fabric, it's made from wood pulp and blends easily. You will often find it blended with other fabrics to add softness, lustre or absorbency (it's highly absorbent and so cool to wear in the summer).

BOSTON -- Gregg Popovich had just watched Ray Allen fillet his San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night to the tune of 31 points, connecting on 13 of 16 shots.
"I think Ray needs to work on his shooting a little,'' Popovich said.
This was Popovich at his dripping, sarcastic best. But the Boston Celtics guard was 100 percent in agreement with the Spurs coach.
"Right now, I want to go to the gym and shoot free throws,'' Allen said after the Celtics held off the Spurs 105-103 at TD Garden. That's because Allen inexplicably bricked a pair of freebies with 8.1 seconds left, giving the Spurs one final possession to tie or win the game.
The Spurs couldn't come through -- and Allen was off the hook. He had bricked a pair of free throws at a similar critical juncture in a game in Cleveland in November 2007. The Celtics lost that one. You remember these things because they happen about as often as North Korea changes its leader.
On a night when Allen missed only three from the field in nearly 39 minutes, matching his season high of 13 baskets, he was still kicking himself afterward for the two he missed from the line. He'd missed only 10 all season before Wednesday night and only once, on Nov. 21 in Toronto, had he missed two free throws in a game.
"I will personally shoot 100 free throws [today],'' Allen said.
You believe him. The Celtics don't practice Thursday but you can bet the house and children that Allen will be out at the workout facility, shooting freebies.
It was the 13 baskets that Allen made that helped the Celtics eke out a win in the much-anticipated battle of NBA heavyweights. Before the game, Popovich was talking about his team's lamentable defensive effort the night before in New York and noted that his players were slow coming off screens. He compared it to being late on Allen coming off a screen. (Or, as Johnny Most might have said, "too late.")
Popovich turned out to be prophetic. He had to call two timeouts before the game was four minutes old, as Allen came out firing, scoring 10 points in the first 8:09. He came off screens for eight of those 10 points, Rajon Rondo setting him up each time.
"If it was practice and you did pin-downs and you came off of that -- I don't know if anyone in the league could make 13 out of 16. He does it in a game," Popovich said.
The Spurs switched their defense to try to contain Allen and, for a time, it worked. But Allen was a perfect 6-for-6 from the field in the second half and had two big hoops (a 3-pointer and a driving layup off his own steal) in the final 97 seconds to help the Celtics pull away.
"Ray does that better than anyone in basketball,'' Popovich said, referring to Allen's ability to get open and make big shots. "He's difficult to guard that way. He knows all the tricks in the book. He understands spatial relationships. He knows how to freeze his defender."
The Celtics are 11-0 when Allen scores 20 or more points. This was his second submission of more than 30; he had 35, still the high for anyone on the team this season, in the Nov. 11 victory in Miami.
He wasn't the only one who was hot. The Celtics shot 61.3 percent from the field, the second time this season they've shot better than 60 percent. Paul Pierce was 7-of-10. Rajon Rondo was 6-of-10. But it was old, reliable No. 20 who seemed to drive the stake into the heart of the Spurs.
There was no bigger hoop than the 3-pointer he made with 1:37 left and the Celtics nursing a two-point lead. Pierce had the ball at the top of the key and saw that Manu Ginobili and George Hill were trapped inside. One was supposed to be on Allen. Pierce quickly passed it to Allen, who was in front of the Spurs' bench. Ginobili popped out but, as Allen recalled, "He had that 'Oh [expletive]' look.'''
And for good reason. The ball hit nothing but net. It was Pierce's only assist of the night. Popovich said his team "imploded" on defense on that play.
"I am always surprised when I'm open, especially for a 3,'' Allen said. "I always feel that if I am in better shape than the guy that's guarding me, then their team is going to need help. Someone is going to be open if we move the ball."
Allen's second hoop of the quarter, a layup off his steal of Hill, gave Boston a 105-96 lead with 56.8 seconds left.
Ballgame? Not if you allow the Spurs to score seven unanswered points in 17.5 seconds. Then came the deliberate foul on Allen with the aforementioned 8.1 seconds remaining and the Celtics leading by two.
The first one rolled off the rim. Allen said he did nothing different between the two shots, but the second one was long. There was a stunned silence in the TD Garden with fans having quizzical looks.
Did we just see that?
Allen admitted that missing the first probably led to him missing the second but, as he added, "Those are the things that perplex me. I guess you can chalk it up to the percentages."
He said he told his teammates he owed them. He vowed to make his next 16 in a row. No one will be surprised if he lives up to his end of the deal.

Ripoff Report
SEM Value PlusInternet, Minnesota United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
SEM, Value plus membership services has been charging my credit card sinceApril 20,2010. Due to a string of personal family illness, I just paid my bills and did not go over charges until now. $24.95 addes up fast when you don't have a job and illness prevents you from doing everyday tasks.
I am aware of such companies that attach themselves to a card, just as they attach themselves to phone bills.
The month prior I purchased a book from an infomercial, and was wondering if anyone else bought the "Free Money Book" the month before their fraud began? I am not accusing, just wondering if the two could be related.
I do not just give out my information to anyone.
I also found it strange that when you call the number on the bank statement, the recording automaticaly sends you to the www.programstop.comwebsite. This is a sure fire sign of fraud.
You can bet I will be at my Credit Union tomorrow with all my information, and the ripoff website address in hand!

RIP Stack Bundles
Yes another rapper is dead... shot down well before his prime. It's a story that hip-hop seemed like it was almost ready to outgrow. There hasn't been a marquis rap homicide since rapper Proof of D-12 died in a hail of bullets in a gritty Detroit afterhours club last year. But as of early this week, Dipset affiliate and mixtape standout Stack Bundles is laying in the morgue, and he didn't die of old age. Dude was just 24. He caught two bullets--one in the head, and one in the neck. And another life is wasted. It's a sad story and, of course, details are still emerging. But what other genre has to deal with this shit so often? Why are rappers proned to getting shot so much, yet the police NEVER solve those cases. The nostalgia is bothering me. Some of us music journalists have covered this story one too many times. When are folks going to wake up and stop shooting each other over drama and verbal conflict? The fact that he was an MC has nothing to do with it.

China Steel Futures Soar Back To April High As Tangshan Vows Supply Cuts
China's industrial metals futures, from steel to iron ore, have rebounded this summer.
Rebar futures, the most traded in China, soared 4% to 2,654 yuan per tonne ($402) today, its highest since April 25. Hot-rolled steel futures jumped 4.1% to 2,831 yuan per tonne, also hitting the year-to-date high we saw in late April.
Tangshan, a major steel production hub in the north of China, re-iterated its call for supply cuts today, saying it intends to cut steel capacity by 40 million tonnes by the end of next year. Tangshan also said it would slash production by 30-50% starting today through the rest of August to curb pollution in the area.
The rally in steel futures also lifted iron ore futures, which rose 3% today. This is great news for Australia's iron ore miners. Year-to-date, Fortescue Metals Group (FMG.Australia) has soared 154.5%, BHP Billiton (BHP.Australia/BHP) has gained 19.4%, Rio Tinto (RIO.Australia/RIO) is up 14.5%.

Damien: the people I turn toMature
Kyle and Danny are gone. And despite myself, I actually end up missing them. About two days after Danny's let out, I just pick up my stuff and go. Well, I discharge myself first. But that sounds less dramatic.
Campbell calls home the moment he hears I've discharged myself, to find out what's going on and lucky for him, I'm the one that picks up.
"Damien, why have you discharged yourself? Your observation period isn't over yet."
"Because that place was making me feel worse. I was on my own, and I had nothing to do. I'll be fine. I'm still alive, aren't I?"
"Listen, Damien-" but I'm not listening. I'm hanging up. I don't know what to do with myself now I'm free from that bed.
Heroin is the first thing that springs to mind. I didn't take any methadone out with me, so heroin seems like the logical conclusion.
I slide the needle in my vein and wait for that orgasmic rush, the safe, warm feeling of the drug comforting me as I sit there on my dealer's floor. I feel his eyes on me, but I ignore him.
There's nothing.
I wait.
Nothing happens. Nothing at all.
I look up at my dealer like he's just betrayed me.
I could cry.
I find myself knocking on Kyle's door. I don't know where else to go. He takes forever to answer, and when he does open the door, I'm greeted, not with the "hey, faggot," that I would normally expect, or even just a "hey". I get welcomed by a thoroughly miserable looking Kyle.
"Um..." I hesitate. He might be miserable, but fuck it, so am I, "can I come in?" he nods and I hesitate again, following him through to the living room. He flops on the sofa and I watch him. He's gotten thinner. And he really doesn't look so good. "What's happened?"
"You look like you've not seen the light of day for a week. Something happen?" Actually, I think he just looks like how I feel.
"He left me," he mumbles. Again? I sit down next to him.
"How comes?"
"'Cause I'm disgusting," he still mumbles, and I kinda strain to hear him.
"You're not disgusting." At least, I don't think you are. Not that my opinion really counts for much.
"I am, though. I'm all the things he said." I bite my lip a little. I might have lost my heroin, but even in this state I can kinda tell that he's the one who really needs the hug. He doesn't react as I slide my arms around him.
"I don't think you're disgusting. He was just hurt, right? I think it's pretty obvious that he's not a rational thinker." He still doesn't do anything and I sigh, burying my head in his shoulder. Sure, he might not appreciate the hug as much as I thought he might, but even if he doesn't need it, I fucking do.
A few moments of deafening silence pass. And then they're broken by the sound of his stomach rumbling. I lift my head enough to speak. "...Have you eaten?" that's a pretty stupid question, now I think about it. Of course he hasn't eaten. He wouldn't be so skinny and sick looking if he'd eaten.
He shakes his head.
"Want me to order a pizza or something?" He shakes his head again and I frown a little. He curls up.
"I don't deserve it."
"Sure you do. S'up to you, man. I'm not gonna force you to eat."
"Don't deserve it," he mumbles and I close my eyes, trying to ignore the cravings that are slowly building up inside my skull, rattling around like those sharp stones you get in your shoe. Why are the only people I have to turn to all as fucked up as me? Do I just attract fuck ups, or something?
"I'll be back in a minute," I mutter, getting up. I wander into the kitchen and get out my phone. Pizza and some methadone from my dealer, if he still has any. He fucking better.

The same problem in Marble
with default Gnome 3 style it works for me, could you try to switch back to it and try again?
Hello Jaroslav,
You are correct in that it seems to be a problem with the style. Note that the style changed from the default after an earlier Mutter crash.

Andrew is special
Oct 27, 2016
I am ridiculously sensitive to people's energy AND find it hard to be attended to rather than serving others. Besides giving the best massages ever (and not talking during!), Andrew's energy is so clean and unintrusive. If you are a Highly Sensitive Person, I can highly recommend him! Well, of course, if you AREN'T sensitive, you will STILL love Andrew!
Providing Essential Work/Life Balance
Oct 16, 2016
Orenco Wellness has been my go-to for massage therapy thanks to a generous health benefit my job provides. It works out quite well as my job can be demanding often requiring long hours that can put strain on my body. The therapists at Orenco Wellness provide an essential service for my body and well-being that is professional, knowledgeable and therapeutic. I couldn't physically do what I do without Lazette, Andrew and the team.
so rejuvenating!
Oct 14, 2016
Lazette has the gift of healing in her hands. I have had several massages from her, and every time she is able to skillfully incorporate different techniques into each session, depending on my needs... everything from deep tissue, to lymphatic and thai massage. I have left every session feeling deeply relaxed, restored, and rejuvenated. Highly recommend this place!
Long time Zettz client

I have been going to Zettz and working together with a couple of the masseuses for almost two years. Massage therapy has helped me to address a previous injury and with advice from thrapist prevent further stress and pain by improving my muscle usage and posture in my day to day. With a high demand on my physical ability both at work and at home, my massage therapy enables me physically to be more confident, relaxed and productive. Lazette is a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Nets' Williams open to 2014 basketball worlds
Associated Press | Last updated September 10, 2012
Two-time Olympic gold medalist Deron Williams of the Brooklyn Nets says he would be ''definitely open'' to playing for the United States in the 2014 World Cup of Basketball. Williams, who helped the Americans win the gold medal in Beijing in 2008 and defend their title last month in London, says he loves representing the U.S. and wouldn't rule out returning for a third Olympics in four years, when he would be 32. For now, the All-Star guard is focused on the Nets' debut in Brooklyn. He posted a picture of players working out Monday on his Twitter page and expects the team to be strong in its first season since leaving New Jersey. Williams decided to stay with the Nets in July instead of joining his hometown Dallas Mavericks.

Last year, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed into law a Paid Family Leave (PFL) Program, which will provide New Yorkers job-protected, paid leave to bond with a new child, care for a loved one with a serious health condition or to help relieve family pressures when someone is called to active military service.
Changes to Your Disability Benefits Policy
PFL will be added to your policy effective January 1, 2018. All employees of NYSIF disability benefits (DB) policyholders will be automatically covered for PFL under their NYSIF DB policies. NYSIF DB policyholders should have received a letter from NYSIF in late April 2017 with preliminary information on the program. More information will be provided when it is available from the regulatory agencies.
The cost of the coverage will be set by the Department of Financial Services later in the year, and will be fully funded through employee payroll deductions, which may begin on or after July 1, 2017. To be eligible for PFL benefits with NYSIF, an employee must have worked for the NYSIF policyholder for 26 weeks full-time or 175 days part-time.
The benefits of this program initially offer up to 8 weeks of paid leave at 50% of the employee's average weekly wage (AWW) up to the maximum benefit of 50% of the New York State AWW. The program will be fully implemented on January 1, 2021, and will offer up to 12 weeks paid leave at 67% of the employee's average weekly wages, up to the maximum benefit of 67% of the New York State AWW.
For more information regarding Paid Family Leave, please refer to the following New York State resources:
- New York State Paid Family Leave Website
- Paid Family Leave Help Line: (844) 337-6303
Additional Information
To review the proposed PFL regulations, visit the following New York State websites:
The Notice of Proposed Rule Making was published in the February 22, 2017, edition of the State Register. Comments on the proposed rule will be accepted for 45 days. You may submit comments on the proposed regulations by completing this survey.
These materials are based on rules contained in regulations that have been proposed for public comment. The final version of the rules may change based on comments received. Materials will be updated to reflect any changes.

I totally understand your point. At no point have I said it cannot be done. I am stating that over the internet I cannot see nor judge what the situation is. I take nothing away from the abilities or spirit of any DIYer. I would feel it's inappropriate of me to give advice to someone who may not be familiar with the circumstances of making that decision. In this case, I have to assume most people would not be able to make that judgment call without further information. It is not a cut and dry situation. Just because tile is still adhered does NOT mean it was installed correctly. I feel if someone really wants to follow through with the procedure, they have heard from someone who installs tile for a living that it is not the preferred way to install tile....although it is possible. Now, on their own, they can search for the precautions and procedures to move forward. I do not want to spend the time talking about something I myself would not do. Make sense? If I were hired to do this job, I would do it only under the stipulation that the original tile was removed. Simply because it's the only way I can guarantee the new installation.
So you want MY reason for not thinking it's a good idea to tile over tile? I'll answer that with a question of my own. Can you be 100% sure the original tile was installed correctly? Unless I installed the tile myself, my answer to that question is "no". Plain and simple.

Tile over tile can be, and is being, done all the time. Of course there are (or should be) qualifying factors for the original installation. If the original install is stable and satisfactory that's all one can hope for in most cases.
Scuffing the surface of the old tile is a plus. The use of unmodified thinset (dryset) mixed with a separate additive would produce a stronger bond (in a thinset) than using a modified thinset off the shelf would normally do.
I'm not going to argue the specific qualities of individual thinsets, I'm talking in general terms.
Even the TCNA allows tile over tile under the right circumstances so poo-poohing the idea is a matter of personal preference.
Can it be done?

I don't think there's really a debate on whether or not it can be done. Across the board, I believe everyone agrees that it can be and it's an accepted practice under the right circumstances.
However, are you going to recommend it to someone asking you if it can over the internet?
So now that the debate about IF is over, anyone that wants to give the OP advice on what and how to do it, have at it. I'm steering clear.
Good luck.

I guess the point I wanted to make the loudest is not whether it's best to tile over tile. I think every DIY'er would recognize that there would be issues with tiling over tile that wouldn't arise if he/she were tiling over new tile backer board, so there'd have to be consideration given to those other issues.
The point I wanted to make the loudest is that what people come in here for, and indeed what we come in here for is not just the asking of simple questions and the giving of one word answers, but an explanation of the WHY's and WHEREFORE's behind those answers. I, for one, find it darn near impossible to learn anything by the rote memorization of facts. Once I understand the underlying principles, then everything falls into place, much like a tool, that I simply use to determine the answer.
Now that some knowledgable people have hashed through the issues, all the newbies in here have also learned the principles and know that it's not just sufficient strength and rigidity that's needed in a good tiling substrate, but dimensional stability as well. THAT is so much easier to understand and remember.
Kudos for sharing your knowledge in here. But, if you had the extra time, wouldn't it be great to also explain the whys and wherefores behind the answers you give.

Anyone that gets advice from an online forum assumes all the responsibility of applying that advice to their own situation. These forums are ripe with idiots that really know nothing but just want to post SOMETHING on an Internet forum. No one knows who any of us are or what true credentials we may have.
Those of us that do this regularly in an effort to help DIY's and save them from themselves in some cases do so for absolutely no compensation what-so-ever from the forums. Hell, we don't even get a "Thank You" or a "We're glad your here" from the guys that are reaping all the rewards.
Some DIY's are thankful some are demanding some are just plain stupid and will never get it. Most post the identical question on every forum they can find not realizing that there is only a handful of guys and gals that answer questions with some real experience behind them but in some cases use different handles on different forums to disguise who they are. It's the same people everywhere!!!
For someone like Nestor to come along and expect everyone here to write an entire book in response to a brief question is a suggestion that has not been thought out thoroughly enough. That idea is not even reasonable. Many of us here will stick it out when a DIY'er continues to chain questions endlessly. BUT, they have to want to know the answers and be interested enough to pursue their own line of questioning, and we have to be sure we aren't replicating other threads simultaneously. That is a waste of every-one's time.
The bottom line is...You get what you pay for. The cost of admission in places like this is a whole lot less than going to a big box and buying a superficial book that doesn't offer any personalized service what so ever. And a lot of bad advice. The truth is...most of the information coming from places like this is coming from seasoned pros and is up to the minute for the industry...but we still get little respect from some and some go a little further and want everything explained in detail while they themselves are contributing nothing.

Well that was kinda my point. My reasons for volunteering my opinions here are my own. I don't need to thoroughly explain my every comment. If I did, this would become a job and I already have one of those.
Now, if we're talking about THIS thread....the OP asked if you could tile over tile. I said yes but I wouldn't recommend it. They replied with a "thanks". As far as I was concerned, thread over. Then a debate started on whether or not it's possible to tile over tile. I didn't remember anyone saying it COULDN'T be done so I'm not sure why the debate continued. If we stay within the context of this thread, the OP never asked any further questions (to which I would have replied) nor did they offer ANY information about this particular situation. What kind of tile? Is it a basement? Is it over wood framing? Is it a bathroom? Is it an exterior location? If over wood, was there enough structure to begin with? What's the deflection rating? How were the original tiles adhered?
Get MY point?
I feel I volunteered enough information to make the OP happy. If I didn't, they have every right to ask for further opinions. It's no big trade secret us "pros" are trying to hide about tiling over tile. ANYONE with a few clicks on Google could find out the THEORY about tiling over tile. As for the individual situation that determines whether it's feasible or not, THAT'S what should be discussed. The OP didn't ask. Done.

I believe that people appreciate not only the knowledge, but the understanding. They're not willing to pay one extra red cent for it, but that's the nature of lots of fine people. I get nothing for spending the extra time, but it's a productive way to waste my spare time. Also, I'm kinda new here, and it's ALWAYS a hassle coming to a new forum because all the regular "experts" don't know if I know what I talking about until I prove it. So, posting a longer response that explains the background information allows me to prove it without direct confrontation. That way, I don't find myself the focus of an insult barrage from the head honcho if I disagree with something he/she posts.
Bud Cline: People that are confident in their knowledge and understanding will most frequently post under their own names, or shortened versions of them. The information we give is free and maybe that's what it's worth, but I for one want to get what little credit there is to be gotten for myself, and not for some non-existant entity known as #qxzv# or something. And, I've posted on quite a few DIY forums on the net, so I find that sometimes people will know me when I start posting on a new forum.
Anyhow, nice to meet you guys.

I've enjoyed this thread. It has been educational. Nestor, I am brand new to this forum too. I jumped right in and so far nobody has yelled out, "you know nothing idiot."
Although I have been here a week, I can tell that Bud and Angus are good guys that know their stuff, way more than I. (I might beat them on carpet subjects though )
I hurriedly chose my user name, I never realized how much anamosity (spelling) there is to HD though.
I still recommend a call to California to the techs at Custom building products. Very helpful and I know they won't shoot you down for tile over tile.
I agree with adding your own admix to an unmodified t'set is better than fortified t'set. But if not use Flexbond.

I also believe that most newbies would prefer to know the why as well as the what, when and how.
Nice to meet you too, HomeDepot23.

To add additional additives to already modified thinset can wreck the intended chemistry of the product and in turn cause an installation failure.
Home Depot is notorious ( as are all the major home centers) for their workers giving out really bad information. Very few of them are in fact the experts that the companies portray them as being. A lot of them were super-sizing meal deals a week before they began work there.
I have seen hundreds of cases where one of those apron-ed experts gave someone advice and a job failed or they sold them the wrong products and created a catastrophe for the DIYer. Maybe you should consider contacting the Webmaster here and changing that User Name to something a little more less offending.
Having said that - keep in mind that no two jobs are exactly alike. It is at that point that special attention is required and we are all glad to participate at that time. Considering what it costs to get the information I see nothing wrong with expecting a DIYer to do a little research on their own before they use a lot of our time asking questions that have already been asked and answered a million times.
If you stay around you will one day understand this and grow weary of the repetitive nature of these forums.

I did my own wall tiles. I royally screwed it up. But somehow it came out kind of rustic and the Mrs Loves it. When I showed her how it was supposed to turn out, she said she would have hated it that way.
She's an oddball, hates conventional stuff, or she just was trying to make me feel better.

Bud: You said:
Now SEE!!!! That right there is a sign of someone giving advice that has no idea what the hell he is talking about. That's the kind of thing that gets unknowing DIYers in trouble and they don't deserve that type of bogus information.
To add additional additives to already modified thinset can wreck the intended chemistry of the product and in turn cause an installation failure.
I fully understand that you're not supposed to modify anything for fear of having a problem, but...
My forte is paint, and fortunately understanding how latex paints form films also provides a lot of insight as to how other slurries (like latex additives) "cure". (Truth is they don't really cure chemically, there's a physical transformation that takes place.)
All those white latex additives will be milk white in the jug, but dry clear. There's only one way that can happen, and that is through the film formation process that also occurs in latex paints. Lemme explain it, and you will see why I can have confidence that one latex additive is compatable with another even though the ONLY thing I know about them is that they're both a milky white colour in the jug, but both dry clear.
We all learn in these forums, and now it's your turn. (round smileyface).
A latex paint is a mixture of solid CLEAR PLASTIC particles (called resins) and clear, white or coloured particles (called pigments) all suspended in a solution. That solution contains a water soluble solvent called a "coalescing solvent" dissolved in water.
When you spread the wet paint on the wall, the first thing that happens is that the water evaporates. As that happens, the clear plastic resins find themselves surrounded by that water soluble solvent at ever increasing concentration. As the concentration rises...
Hang on, I have to go somewhere and will continue this explanation when I return.

Sorry, back now.
So, as the water in the paint evaporates, the solid, hard, clear plastic resins find themselves surrounded by that coalescing solvent solution at a steadily increasing concentration.
That coalescing solvent will "dissolve" (kinda) the plastic that the resins are made of, making them get very soft and sticky. It is during this phase of film formation that the paint film actually adheres to the substrate, but the purpose of the coalescing solvent is far more important than just adhesion. Surface tension and capillary pressure then cause those soft sticky resins to coalesce and stick to one another. Those forces are strong enough, and the resins now soft enough, to cause the resins to deform so that if you could see into that paint film at the coalescing resins it would look like the interior of soap bubble foam where the planes between resins are FLAT surfaces, and each resin has as many such "facets" as it has neighbouring resins. As the coalescing solvent then evaporates from the paint film and leaves that "newly painted smell" behind in the room, the now continuous SOLID plastic film becomes hard and rigid again.
NOW, something happened to change the colour of the paint during that process. Initially, there were all kinds of clear plastic blobs in the paint (the resins) and all the water/plastic phase boundaries would have reflected and refracted light, thereby creating what amounts to a giant bingo machine for photons of different frequencies (colour), and your eye sees a mixture of all colours as the colour "white". When you mix the colour white with any other colour, the result is a lighter version of that same colour. Thus, the paint was artificially a whitened colour when it was in the can, but when the phase boundaries in the wet paint are eliminated, the white discolouration disappears and you see the true colour of the paint.
EXACTLY THE SAME THING HAPPENS in every slurry or emulsion which is white in the jug and dries clear. It is the solid/liquid or liquid/liquid phase boundaries that causes the slurry or emulsion to appear white to begin with, and the elimination of those phase boundaries during the film formation or curing process that causes that white discolouration to disappear.
NOW, if two latex additives are both white in the jug, and both dry clear, AND if you mix the two together and that white liquid dries clear, then you know that they are compatable. The coalescing solvent in the one will soften the resins in the other sufficiently to cause those resins to be soft enough to allow the forces of surface tension and capillary pressure to deform the resins sufficiently so that you have complete elimination of all the void in the solid film. Because, if there were any voids in that film, you would have a air/plastic phase boundaries inside that film, and no matter how tiny they were, they would still reflect and refract light, giving the film a milky white appearance.
This is why I said: "So, if it wuz me trying to make a sticky thin set mortar, I'd throw the warranty to the wind and add anyone's latex additive for thin sets to anyone else's polymer modified thin set. If a small sample of it mixed up OK, hardened up OK and stuck OK, then I'd use it, warranty or not."
Because if anything was interfering with the process by which these slurries or emulsions "cure" (physically transform), then the resins wouldn't get as soft and sticky as they need to to coalesce properly, and so you wouldn't get:
a) as good adhesion to the substrate (cuz the resins wouldn't have gotten as soft and sticky during coalescence), and
b) proper coalescence of the different resins to each other, resulting in it drying to a powdery solid instead of a cohesive solid, and
c) discolouration of the thin set because of the existance of tiny voids in the plastic component of the slurry. The result would be that the thin set would have a whitish appearance because of the reflection and refraction of light at every phase boundary surrounding every void.
So, if two latex additives dry to a clear solid when mixed together, then both coalescing solvents worked properly on the other kind of resin so they're compatable.
If a polymer modified thin set mixes up and appears to work as intended
with a different latex additive, then the two are also compatable enough to be used together. Otherwise you'd get a whitish powdery substance formed that doesn't stick to the substrate well.
PS: The reason why paint darkens as it dries is NOT the same as why your blue jeans are darker when they're wet. That involves a different principle of optics. But, it's an "optical illusion", nonetheless.

I'm not going to read all that stuff but maybe you should stay with giving advice on paint and not tile which you have little knowledge of.
P.S. 40 WPM isn't that impressive, I do that with two fingers. Now if it were 70 WPM then you'd have a noteable talent.

On Mac OS X (10.5.7) the environment charts are all 'squashed' - that is, data appears to be coming down to the browser, but it's all squeezed into the the top 2mm of the display area.
This behaviour is consistant on Firefox 3.0.10 and Safari v3 and v4.
It looks perfect on IE8.
It would appear plain that it's a 'Windows' plugin - but since most of my work is Mac based, it would be great to find a resolution to it.
Appreciate any thoughts people may have.

Hi Clive,
What version of Spiceworks are you running? What version of Flash?
Jun 9, 2009 at 4:04 UTC
See the attached screenshot. Most the developers here at Spiceworks use Macs.
I am running Flash 10. When we originally added the flash charts, it was tested with Flash 8.
We do not officially support Safari, though for the most part it works great.
Jun 10, 2009 at 12:41 UTC
Thanks for the replies gentlemen.
I should have noted this at the time ... apologies.
Spiceworks 3.6 running from a Vista VM to a Mac 10.5.7 with Safari 4 and Flash 10.
With you confirming that Macs are 'OK', and my Firefox also behaving the same way - I have now found a mac (10.5.7/Flash 10) here with is 'OK'... I suspect that the issue here is font related; I run a graphics orientated system and manage fonts away from the default install - this strikes me as the major difference between the systems.
I'll investigate further and report back.
Thanks again.
Jun 10, 2009 at 12:56 UTC
Well that was easy :-)
The chart requires Arial (Roman, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic) - I've just have to remember to activate them when using Spiceworks.
Thanks again.

Great news, but sorry about that Arial requirement :(

BRITAIN'S Got Talent mimic Marea Smithson wants to quit her job as a medical secretary – to work on sketch shows.
Marea revealed she can do plenty more impressions – including the stars from TV hits The Only Way Is Essex and Benidorm.
She said: "It would be my dream to work on sketch shows or on the radio.
"I've been looking at some of the TOWIE people but I'm not quite there yet."
The single mum even has a few famous MALE voices in her repertoire but joked she would "steer well clear" of spoofing Simon Cowell.
Marea's nervous stage entrance failed to impress the judges on Saturday's show.
But then her send-ups of The Weakest Link presenter Anne Robinson, Corrie's Deirdre Barlow and Audrey Roberts, and former Strictly star Ann Widdecombe left both the panel and audience in hysterics.
Simon told her: "You've got a confidence issue." But Marea revealed Little Britain comic David Walliams was the judge she most wanted to impress.
She said: "I felt he got what I was doing. It's more what he does himself.
"If he had not been very keen that would have been a real zap."
Marea grew shy in her teen years but decided to try to conquer it by doing a show for work colleagues.
She said: "I thought, 'I've got to do something' and I just took some props to work one day and did some impressions.
"I did one of Dame Edna Everage with a feather boa and hat. They were amazed and said, 'You should try a talent contest.' So I have."

The second time Michael goes through his birthday, his mom asks him to help her with his cake. When he goes to her, you see they're outside, but the first time of Michael's birthday, they were inside.
In the scene where Michael is dreaming, he opens the door to the room the Cuckoo clock is in and begins to scream. But we hear the scream a split second before his mouth opens.
The first time when Michael's dad tells Tara not to touch the clock, you see she has bangs on her forehead, but when she turns around to stick her tongue out at Michael, her bangs are gone.
When it shows the episode name, you see that they put it in white. However, the rest of the episodes' names are in green.
(Michael is now six years old but doesn't realize it yet.)
Mrs. Webster: What is it, sweetie? Are you having bad dreams? Oh, I know what it is, your just excited because it's your birthday tomorrow! (She looks at the clock which says 12:01 AM.) Oh, actually it is tomorrow already! Happy birthday, Mikey! My big boy is six years old!
Michael at Six: Six?! (He runs to the mirror and sees that he is six.) Ahhh!!!
Mr. Webster: (walks in with a full head of hair, unlike when Michael was twelve.) What's wrong, little buddy?
Michael at Six: Hair!
Tara: Gotcha! (She throws a fake dinosaur head at Michael.) Ha ha ha, what a krej! (pronounced "credge")
(Tara turns to her friends.)
Tara: I told ya he was a krej.
(Tara turns back to Michael.)
Tara: That's "jerk" spelled backwards, you krej!
Michael: What's your problem, Tara? What have I ever done to you?
Tara: (Squirts ketchup from a bottle at Michael)Ha ha!
(As Michael opens his present, which is a CD.)
Josh: (Sarcastically Gosh, Henry, I wonder if it's a CD.
Henry: (Sarcastically) No, Josh, it's a football!
(Both Josh and Henry chuckle, and Michael sees it's a CD.)
Michael:Awesome. Thanks, Mona. I don't have this one.
Tara: 'Course not! You said it was lame and you threw it out, but now he'll probably like it...now that he's in love!
(Everyone laughs except Michael,and Mona blushes.)
Based on Book #28.
This episode was adapted into Goosebumps Presents Book #2.
This episode, along with "The Girl Who Cried Monster", on their original premieres had a special opening theme in which there was a ten-second remix when R.L. Stine is walking through the grass with the briefcase. When the G passes the dog, that part of the music is played with a different instrument. There were also different scenes from the show when the door opened.
When Michael looks in the mirror at age 6, his scream and facial expression is exactly the same as Macauly Culkin's scream in the Home Alone movies.

The tie-up between British Airways (BA) and Iberia has been rubber stamped with Norton Rose and Slaughter and May landing the UK mandates.
Corporate partners Steve Cooke and David Whittman led the Slaughters team acting for BA. The team also featured competition partner Betrand Louveaux.
Iberia turned to Norton Rose for advice on the UK aspects of the deal, with corporate partner Nick Adams taking the lead.
For Spanish aspects of the deal, Uria Menendez advised BA, led by corporate partner Juan Francisco Falcon. Iberia turned to a Garrigues team fronted by co-managing partner Fernando Vives.
Clifford Chance is acting for Iberia in merger proceedings to be heard later
this year by the European Commission, with competition partner Miguel
Odriozola leading.
The £4.4bn merger is slated for completion later this year after the UK and Spanish civil aviation authorities gave regulatory approval. The deal will create the world's third biggest airline, to be known as International Airlines Group. Both carriers will retain current operations and their individual brands.
The new entity will have premium listings on both the UK and Spanish stock markets.
