2nd floor addition to existing garage
Hi All
I am in the process of planning to add a 2nd floor addition to my existing 20X20 garage.
This is going to be a no frills addition with just a dry in and unfinished enclosed shell, electrical, maybe 2 windows, an entryway and door into the existing 2nd floor and one door to an exterior stairway.
I am looking for the approximate cost per square foot I can expect to receive in bids from a framing contractor. I may act as the general contractor and sub out all of the needed work as I can do a lot of the work myself.
Any ideas of what the general cost per sq/ft might be?
This site is geared towards DIY, not towards cost estimates
Costs can vary widely by area
Your best bet is to get several local estimates & check references
Thank you

Ways You Can Fight Acne And Win
Aside from the obvious effects of embarrassment and self-consciousness, having acne problems may be a sign that your skin isn't healthy. If you want to preserve and improve your skin's health while you deal with your acne troubles, check out these tips. cystic acne home remedy
how to prevent cystic acne
In an effort to get clear skin that is acne free, you may want to think about putting tea tree oil on the spots that are acne prone. Tea tree oil can reduce the oil buildup responsible for your acne without drying skin.
Sometimes the temptation to pop a zit and drain the pore is nigh-irresistible. If you simply must do this, make sure that your hands and nails are clean and sanitized to avoid causing your skin further damage by adding more bacteria to the open pore. You should first try not to pop a pimple but if you must, do so responsibly.
Chamomile tea is proven to act as a very good herbal remedy for acne because of the herbs. Using cooled tea bags on problem areas can reduce swelling and redness in a few hours.
Do not mix acne cream. Some people get overzealous about their acne treatment efforts and use every lotion and cream they can find. Acne creams contain harsh ingredients that can greatly damage your skin if they are combined haphazardly.
cystic acne diet Keep acne at bay by changing your pillowcase daily. Just think about it! Consider the effects of rolling your head around in this mess. Avoid this by washing pillowcases on a regular basis and putting a clean one on your pillow every night.
Exposure to sunlight can help control your acne. Sunlight will help dry out your skin and remove excess oil. Be patient, as things might get worse before they get better. This should clear up within a couple of weeks and your dry skin should not break out as much.
The amazing, antioxidant powers of garlic can be used in your fight against acne. Garlic will get rid of toxins in your system and help new skin grow. Garlic is delicious and can be added to practically anything.
It is sometimes tempting, or a just a bad habit, to touch your face frequently. Remember you fingers contain oils and bacteria which are transferred to your face each time you touch it. Your pores trap the dirt which causes an inflammation that can eventually lead to pimples.
Wash your face immediately after working out or after you have sweated profusely. Keep facial cleansing wipes with you if you are away from home. This way, you will be able to clean bacteria and impurities easily. However, these wipes should not replace your facial cleanser. Follow your normal cleansing routine in the morning and evening, even when you supplement with wipes.
Be sure that you are not mixing acne treatments. Many people mix up acne creams because they are not sure which one works best. Acne creams contain harsh ingredients that can greatly damage your skin if they are combined haphazardly.
Wear weather appropriate clothes made out of natural fibers. Sometimes acne can flare up when you sweat. This is why it's important to wear the proper clothing. Stress resulting from extreme temperatures can worsen acne, but wearing proper clothing can mitigate this quite a bit.
As was previously mentioned, people of any age can be afflicted with acne. The best way to ensure clear, acne-free skin is to develop a cleansing routine that works well for your unique skin type.

Re: beginner question about syntax
For map to work you must be mapping over the elements of an
expression, be it a list like {a,b,c} or a generic expression like
in your first example :
Map[Function[x, x^2], a]
a is an atomic symbol, Map normally tries to apply the function to
level one of the expression but "a" has no level 1 this fails, what
you would want to use is:
Function[x, x^2][a]
In your second example what is going on is that a+b+c is really seen
by Mathematica as Plus[a,b,c],
Map[Function[x, x^2], a + b + c]
is really
Map[Function[x, x^2],Plus[a,b,c]]
and the function is applies to each element of the Plus statement
while keeping Plus as the "head" of the expression
an intermediate step might look something like:
Plus[Function[x, x^2][a],Function[x, x^2][b],Function[x, x^2][c]]

. . . . in Afghanistan.
Apparently being able to read and write is not a requirement to knowing when the SHTF is coming:
Gun Prices Soar As Afghanistan's Post-Election Crisis Continues - TIME
The reliable measure of stability in many countries is the value of the currency or the price of equities, bread or fuel but not in Afghanistan: Here, the key indicator on which nearly every Afghan keeps tabs is the price of a Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifle. And the bad news is that the market is bullish. The stepped-up Taliban offensive, and mounting discord over the outcome of last month's election, has seen the price of a Chinese-made AK smuggled in from Pakistan rise from $150 to $400 in just three months. "People are arming themselves," one western official in Kabul noted with alarm.
The surge in the Kalashnikov Index is likely to be sustained by the results of the August 20 elections, widely perceived by Afghans, diplomats and foreign observers as marred by fraud. Fictitious polling booths were set up, and in some places, vote-riggers were so brazen they did not even bother to remove the individual ballots from the booklets in which they were printed when marking them.
Most of the rigging favored the incumbent, President Hamid Karzai, and political uncertainty is rising over the question of how the opposition notably his leading rival, the ex-foreign minister Dr. Abdullah Abdullah, and the powerful coterie of Tajik warlords he represents will react to Karzai's flawed victory. In Kabul on Wednesday, the streets were empty since many residents thought that Abdullah's supporters might take advantage of the holiday honoring the death of the legendary Tajik warrior Ahmed Shah Massoud to launch protests. Massoud had fought against the Soviets and then against the Taliban before his assassination by al-Qaeda in 2001. Fortunately, this week the city has stayed calm.
The latest vote tally, with over 92% of ballots counted, gives Kazai 54% of the vote, well above the 50% threshold required to avoid a runoff. But U.N. officials monitoring the election process have confided to diplomats that if all the fraudulent votes were discarded, Karzai's total would sink below 50%, forcing him to face Abdullah in a runoff. Diplomats say that the West is divided over what to do next: Ignore the fraud and give Karzai his tainted triumph in the interests of stability, or subject Afghans to a another round of balloting, with all the potential for escalating political turbulence, that would probably result in Karzai winning anyway.
Despite the obstacles, many international sponsors, including the Americans, say privately that they want to see Karzai face a run-off, as a way of restoring the fairness of the elections. A second round, they argue, might clip Karzai's wings and make him more responsive to Western demands that he dismiss corrupt officials and mischief-making warlords. But in reality, a second round is a near-impossibility. Weeks from now, craggy northern Afghanistan will be blanketed in snow. The earliest a second-stage vote could be plausibly be organized is next spring, dooming Afghans to months of political turmoil. And Karzai may not play along. Says Haroun Mir, Director of Afghanistan's Center for Research and Policy Studies, "Karzai's not feeling very conciliatory. He thinks that despite efforts by the international community to undermine him, he's the victor."
Friends describe the president as isolated, except for an entourage of flatterers, in his gloomy Arg palace, the scene of many past assassinations. They say Karzai remains decent and well-intentioned, but that he is swamped by trying to micro-manage this chaotic country.
In keeping with an Afghan tradition of settling disputes by redividing the spoils, Karzai has sent out feelers to Abdullah, hoping to end the standoff by wooing him into joining the next government. So far, Abdullah has rebuffed Karzai, but observers believe the opposition candidate may eventually name his price as regaining his old job as foreign minister. (Karzai reportedly fired Abdullah from the post on the grounds that he was reserving plum ambassadorial posts for fellow Tajiks.) Abdullah's powerful backers, the northern warlords among them, will also want keep key cabinet posts, such as interior and defense.
The power-sharing option presents Karzai with a quandary, however: Many of the seats in his future cabinet are already promised to the regional power barons and warlords who helped him carry the election. Karzai's penchant for promising too much to too many also riles Western donors. They want to see Karzai's government competently run and delivering services and development, rather than being turned into a feeding trough for those to whom he owes favors. As Ashraf Ghani, an ex-finance minister who ran against Karzai in the presidential race, told TIME, "You can say that 5% patronage is okay, but not 95% as it is now." Whether the West and many Afghans like it or not, they are very likely to be stuck with Karzai for the next five years. And meanwhile, the price of a Kalashnikov is rising.

Double Trouble attained grade I glory in her first try for trainer Bobby Frankel with a come-from-behind victory in the $245,000 Santa Maria Handicap (VIDEO) on Santa Anita's Cushion Track Feb. 9.
The Brazilian-bred 5-year-old mare had a perfect trip under Rafael Bejarano, coasting up on the outside of odds-on choice Tough Tiz's Sis and Somethinaboutlaura mid-stretch. She had to work to get the lead under right-handed urging, but she drew off in the final furlong to an easy 4 1/2-length triumph in the 1 1/16-mile event for older fillies and mares.
The final time was 1:42.46 on the renovated Cushion Track, which had been closed for the prior week for repairs. A scratched down field of four contested the Santa Maria.
Double Trouble, primarily a grass horse, is undefeated in two tries on synthetic surface. Frankel made it back-to-back victories in the Santa Maria after winning the 2007 edition with Stronach Stables' Sugar Shake. He was ill Saturday and did not attend.
A daughter of Wild Event, Double Trouble won a grade II race in Brazil in 2006 prior to transferring to the U.S. last spring. In her first North American start, she ran fourth in the Wilshire Handicap (gr. IIIT) on the Hollywood Park lawn April 25, her only prior graded race in this country. Patricia Bozzano's bay improved her lifetime record to 7-1-5 in 15 starts and increased her earnings to $332,204 with the winning purse of $150,000.
"I didn't know if she was going to like the track or not, but (Bejarano) just took his time when he saw those two horses going to the lead," said winning assistant trainer Humberto Ascanio. "Plus, Bobby never lost faith in this horse. He thinks she's a nice filly, and he made a little adjustment in her last two races. She's been lugging in, so Bobby changed her bridle and it helped."
Though the pace was slow -- :24.27, :48.58, and 1:12.11 -- no one appeared all that happy with their positions. Tough Tiz's Sis, racing between horses just off pacesetter Zardana, pulled jockey Victor Espinoza wide into the first turn and ended up angling toward the rail to chase the leader. Somethinaboutlaura was wide down the backstretch for David Flores before launching her bid on the far turn.
Double Trouble, meanwhile, avoided the battle up front while saving ground most of the way. She tracked the leaders from three to four lengths behind. The millionaire Somethinaboutlaura challenged Tough Tiz's Sis leaving the final turn to get a narrow lead while wide, but neither of the leaders could stay with Double Trouble.
"I was sitting with a lot of confidence because she relaxed so well," Bejarano said. "I was able to sit and save some ground around the far turn, and when we got out there at the top of the stretch, she won pretty easy."
Coming off a nose victory over Live Life and Shermeen in a one-mile optional claiming event on the Santa Anita turf Dec. 29, Double Trouble has done very well in nine U.S. starts. She has won four times with one second and two thirds and is yet to be worse than fourth. Haras Doce Vale bred Double Trouble, who is out of the Ghadeer mare Route Sixty Six.
The grade I winner Tough Tiz's Sis was coming off a second-place finish in the El Encino (gr. II) Jan. 13 for trainer Bob Baffert. The 4-year-old daughter of Tiznow , who has now finished second in her past three starts, carried high weight of 119 pounds.
"The slow pace didn't help me that much, and sometimes a small field like that can make it more difficult," Espinoza said. "I was down on the inside, and it's a little heavier down there. I just got stuck down there all the way around. I was holding as much as I could for the end, but it didn't help me much because they kind of slowed down on the first turn, and they were crawling. Just the same, she ran well."
The winner carried 115 pounds to victory, paying $8.20 and $3. Tough Tiz's Sis, the 1-2 favorite, returned $2.20. It was 1 3/4 lengths to Somethinaboutlaura in third, with Zardana trailing. Dawn After Dawn, entered in the La Canada (gr. II) Feb. 10, and Sweet Belle scratched.

Photos & 2 videos of fire plagued Twisp (Washington) from Jim Haverlock (Web Wizards)
My partner in Web Wizards, Jim Haverlock, lives in Twisp, Washington, which has been the focus of national and international media coverage due to the major fires raging nearby and throughout the region. At one point Wednesday (August 19, 2015) night the flames came menacingly close to Jim's place. A neighbor's son, Sean Wilson, shot the photos below during the afternoon and into the night using his cell phone.
At nearly 11 pm Jim and his neighbors were told to "peg out" (evacuate) by firemen manning trucks just outside his residence, which they did. After a fitful night in a motel in a nearby town, Jim found out the fires that were moving towards his street had been beaten back by firefighters. He returned to Twisp Thursday morning and, thankfully, found his little abode untouched by fire and his power, water, phone and Internet services still in play.
Jim, who has been battling multiple sclerosis for over 21 years, gets about in a motorized scooter. His trips to nearby supermarkets, his bank, local places of worship plus various outdoor markets and such, has made him a familiar sight (A "human landmark"?)

I am a Jew who lost eleven relatives in the Holocaust. My relatives could not escape death because European nations in the 1930s did not want Jewish immigrants. Israel today is faced with the presence of thousands of Africans who have fled their countries in hope for the economic safety of Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu seeks to develop a propoganda program aimed at African nations which portrays the dangers of seeking to migrate to Israel. These potential migrants will be warne that Bedouins in the Sinai Desert may kidnap or rob or rape migrants.
About sixty thousand are in Israel. Obviously, Israel can not allow unlimited migration of Africans or Bulgarians or Poles since this influx would change the composition of Israel society. However, using violence against Africans is not in the Jewish tradition. Jewish bullies set fire to a house of Somalian refugees and sent them to the hospital, including one pregnant woman.
A neighbor, Shoshana David commented: "they are really good people."
Most of these refugees are working. If they leave, who does the construction work–Israel Jews? There is need for a sensible immigration policy that recognizes the reality Israel needs such migrants. The issue is: how many?

The people responsible for making sure that our food is safe have been sloppy about getting tainted imports out of supermarkets and restaurants, a government investigation has found.
As The New York Times reports, a federal inspector general's audit of 17 recalls of imported foods revealed that the Food and Drug Administration often has failed to ensure that the contaminated products were taken out of the food chain.
In one case, more than three months passed from the time the FDA learned of the contamination until when a recall was launched. In addition, in five instances, investigators found, the FDA never conducted an audit to make sure that the recall actually was carried out. In the 12 other cases, the follow-up audits were late or incomplete.
The 17 recalls included salmonella-tainted cantaloupes from Honduras, listeria-infected mussel meat from New Zealand and frozen Korean fish containing the bacterium that causes botulism. While a major food safety law signed in January by President Obama gives the FDA more authority, proposed budget cuts could limit the use of the new powers.
As a separate Times story based on a special report from the FDA suggested, the agency is struggling to keep up with booming imports. The FDA is supposed to police what this year is expected to be 24 million imported shipments of food, drugs and medical devices, up from 6 million 10 years ago. In the food industry, that means nearly two-thirds of all fruits and vegetables, and three-quarters of all seafood, consumed in the U.S. is imported.
The challenge of monitoring imported drugs also is substantial. More than 80 percent of the active ingredients for drugs sold in the United States are manufactured overseas, mostly in Asian factories that are rarely inspected by the FDA. Many medicines, including aspirin, are no longer produced anywhere in the Western world.
The FDA's commissioner, Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, has proposed creating coalitions of international regulators to enhance product safety. The agency also will develop a global data information system to help regulators communicate with one another.

Asian stocks rise on Fed relief, dollar dips
Jul 10 2014 , Tokyo
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan gained 0.2%.
Tokyo's Nikkei rose 0.1%, despite a sharp drop in machinery orders reported minutes before the opening bell.
Japan's core machinery orders unexpectedly fell 19.5% in May from the previous month, casting doubt over the outlook for a pickup in capital spending.
But markets were more focused on the Fed.
According to minutes from the last Federal Reserve meeting released on Wednesday, the central bank acknowledged the recent strengthening in the US economy but suggested it was unlikely to raise policy rates until the second half of 2015.
"The Fed Minutes did not deliver anything new. In practice this is dovish as almost all market participants who expected a shift from the statement/press conference were on the hawkish side," strategists at CitiFX wrote in a note to clients.
"No one expected a more dovish message so the hawks are caught offside."
The absence of a more hawkish message from the Fed eased worries over interest rate hikes and helped Wall Street snap a two-day slide on Wednesday, while driving US Treasury yields lower.
The dollar slipped 0.1% to 101.58 yen, weighed by lower Treasury yields. The yen was little fazed by the machinery order decline.
The euro stood little changed at $1.3643 after gaining more than 0.2% against the greenback the previous day.
Traders were also awaiting China trade data due around 0200 GMT.
The data will give the markets a chance to gauge whether a recovery is taking hold in the world's second-largest economy following a flurry of government stimulus.
China's exports are forecast to rise 10.6% in June from a year ago, faster than May's 7% expansion and the best showing in five months. Imports likely snapped back into positive territory, growing 5.8%, after May's 1.6% drop.
In commodities, crude oil extended losses after falling on faltering US demand for gasoline and a Libyan oil field resuming output.
US crude fell 0.45% to $101.83 per barrel.

Comparing the two, I cannot see too many differences between the reading experience. Yes, this screen is whiter than mine and the contrast is better and it doesn't refresh after each page but in terms of usability are very close.
The built quality is the obvious improvement as mine seems a lot cheaper when compared to this one. It's light, the battery lasts for ages, very very easy to use if you pair it up with Calibre and comfortable to hold in your hand.
I also like the fact that amazon maintained this product as an ebook reader and didn't fall into the trap that so many manufacturers and designers jump in these days: let's put a camera, and bluetooth, and apps and stuff. Moreover, Amazon decided to strip it down even further - this generation of Kindles doesn't have speakers, keyboard and audiobooks features and so on... compared to the previous generation - all the better.
So yes, I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading and only reading.
P.S.: I do recommend getting a proper cover for it which you can get for as little as £10.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
I bought the Kindle for my wife, who is not such a big reader, because of the now competitive price and also gives me the opportunity to compare the two products.
OK one has a touch screen, one doesn't. But realistically this is the only difference on the actual mechanics of the reader.
If at a later date I was to upgrade my reader, I would go with either, depending on what deals were available.
There are a large amount of books including best selling novels and some that are slightly less well known. Only certain novels can't be found and have to be purchased as a paper copy. Some of these books include: Very old, obscure and some very old/obscure educational fiction and non-fiction.
I took mine on holiday with me, and found it really easy, I love the fact it can just slip into your bag but has no extra weight. It isn't bulky and is so easy to use. I also love the fact I was able to read while sitting in the sun for ages and there was no glare at all.
Seriously would recommend to anyone who is an avid reader, hates carrying loads of book around with you and hates trying to see in the sunny weather.
Did not want one as I love books not just for the story but the feel of them. But now I have been given one I am so glad.

Every week, we will seek out expert advice to help a small or medium-sized company overcome a key issue it is facing in its business.
Fifteen minutes here, 15 minutes there – it's the kind of time that plenty of workers might take to grab a coffee or spend stuck in a traffic jam, ending up late to work.
It's also the kind of time that Ben Zlotnick wishes he had a better handle on when that happens with his workers.
Mr. Zlotnick is the founder of Toronto-based Aden Earthworks Inc., a commercial and residential landscaping company, with four-fifths of its 50 employees out in the field and paid on an hourly basis.
It might seem insignificant, he said, but "with our business, everything is pretty scheduled." There are times when productivity suffers because a worker is late, putting holes in the scheduling for that job and others. Often, instead of ending the day at 5 p.m., workers will be required to put in a couple of more hours that Mr. Zlotnick hadn't factored into his calculations.
"Being 15 or 30 minutes late can have a massive snowball effect on productivity," he said.
If he knew for certain exactly how much time an employee spent at a job site, not on a break -- and, of course, breaks are allowed, he just wants to better track them, he said – Mr. Zlotnick could better plan how long a job would take and how much work the company could take on.
Part of the problem is that Mr. Zlotnick said he has not found a good way to track employees' time. He hands out forms at the start of the week and workers return them at week's end, with their hours filled in.
Mr. Zlotnick has installed GPS technology on company trucks to allow him to better track time spent at a job, but he only looks at the GPS logs when he is concerned productivity is lagging, he said.
"The GPS is just one part of the solution," said Mr. Zlotnick, whose company generated $5-million in revenue last year. "There's got to be more to it."
The Challenge: How can Aden Earthworks' boss better track and manage his employees' time, and maximize productivity?
Elaine Pantel, Principal with advisory and accounting firm Shimmerman Penn , Toronto
One way to increase productivity is to hire a roaming supervisor who can show up at any work site. They're not just there to make sure someone's on a job site; they can also check the quality of the work. Employees need to know that they have someone watching. It's just human nature.
He could also create teams of employees based on area; different managers or supervisors would be responsible for an area or a team.
He should also consider offering incentives for good work. That will help motivate the team. But don't make it complicated. He could give them Tim Hortons gift cards or bonuses if they do things on time or under budget.
David Ossip, president of workforce management firm Ceridian Dayforce
People will work harder, and within a specific schedule, if they're allowed to specify their availability. Give them the option to say what hours they can work in a day. If you don't allow that and they have a doctor's appointment in the middle of the day, they're still going to go and the manager might think they're still on the job.
People require some sort of flexibility from an organization, so make it easy for them to be able to take time off – or make up the hours somewhere else – if they need to.
Allan Guinan, managing partner of architecture and design firm Figure3 , Toronto
We've had the same problem – we need to track how many hours are spent on a variety of projects. There is some good technology out there, including a program we use called AjeraComplete from Axium. It's an electronic time sheet that people can fill out using their mobile. Management can then view, in real time, how much time it's taking to complete a project.
Any software has to have the ability to do some analysis. You need to be able to track hours on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. We also use the software to track unattributed time, such as travel or administrative time – the non-billable hours. We determine how much time should be attributed to non-attributed time. If someone's spending more time, say, at lunch, then maybe it's a signal that work isn't being assigned properly.
Three things Aden Earthworks can do now:
Hire managers
Hire roaming supervisors to visit job sites.
Be more flexible with time
Seek worker input into what hours work best for them; allow them to take time off for appointments without repercussions.
Turn to time-tracking software
Investigate time-tracking technology on the market. Make sure chosen software has analysis capabilities.

Gas Lighting: Messin' With Your Mind
- From: pautrey <rpa20523@xxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Sat, 7 Aug 2010 14:48:53 -0700 (PDT)
Victims and Survivors of Psychopaths
from victim to survivor
Gas lighting: Messin' with your mind
with 23 comments
Gas lighting is written about in Women Who Love Psychopaths: Inside
the Relationships of Inevitable Harm. J. Reid Meloy writes about it
in The Psychology of Stalking: Clinical and Forensic Perspectives.
The term "gas light" comes from the 1944 movie Gaslight, in which a
gold-digger sweeps a woman off her feet, marries her, then
deliberately sets about making his new wife and other people doubt her
Gas lighting is a form of psychological warfare that is deliberate and
progressive in nature. Gas lighters first start with subtle
psychological warfare to diminish the victims self-confidence, to
upset their sense of reality, and to make them doubt themselves. They
want to break the victim down a bit before engaging in more direct
attacks, so the victim is in a weakened state and will be less likely
to figure out what is going on and take action to protect themselves.
Occasionally you may mention something the psychopath has said and he
may deny ever having said it. Perhaps you can't find your purse, and
the psychopath helps you look for it. Finally it is located in the
refrigerator. He laughs and gives you an affectionate hug, telling
you that you just must be stressed. A week or two later you're
hunting your car keys that you are positive you left on your computer
desk because that is where you always leave them. After searching for
an eternity, you finally find them still in the car ignition. Dear
God, the psychopath says, someone could have stolen the car right out
of the driveway due to your carelessness and forgetfulness! You
scratch your head and begin to think Hhhmn, maybe my memory is
slipping. It must be you, right? Because who would ever suspect
someone who professes to love you is deliberately doing these things
to you? But psychopaths are masters at gas lighting.
Gas lighting is written about in Women Who Love Psychopaths: Inside
the Relationships of Inevitable Harm. The authors, Sandra L. Brown,
M.A. and Liane J. Leedom, M.D., say the psychopath will do all sorts
of devious things to try to make the victim think they are mentally
deficient or having a nervous breakdown, and that the psychopath
enjoys the process of inflicting psychological damage.
J. Reid Meloy writes about it in The Psychology of Stalking:
Clinical and Forensic Perspectives, giving an example of a 70 year old
man stalking his 71 year old girlfriend. One of the things this man
did was to gas light his girlfriend by sneaking into her backyard in
the middle of the night to rearrange her patio furniture. Meloy also
asks the reader to imagine the frustration of a victim of gas lighting
trying to convince the police that a perpetrator broke into her home,
yet did nothing more than move the candlesticks to the bathroom.
Eleanor White has written a review of a book by Victor Santoro: Gas
lighting: How to Drive Your Enemies Crazy. In the review she points
out that the harassment techniques are both subtle and devious and
indicates stalking victims will immediately recognize the techniques.
Some of the techniques in the book talk about how to cause
disorientation in the victim by sneaking into their home and subtly
moving items around, or stealing an item then putting it back at a
later date. There is advice on starting a whispering campaign against
the target, so multiple people help damage the target's reputation.
There are also techniques in the book designed to alienate the target
from family members, friends, neighbors, employers, etc. and to make
them doubt the target's sanity. Here are a few chapter titles from
the book:
Gas lighting Philosophy
Causing Disorientation
Building Paranoia
Destroying Your Target's Reputation
Provoking Confrontations
This is nasty stuff and the psychopath does not need a book to go by,
as he is a natural at it.

Proposed Regulations, Gaps in Coverage for Homeless Youth
February 7, 2013
Some 15 percent of vulnerable homeless people were in foster care at some time in their lives, by at least one estimate. That's what the 100,000 Homes Campaign finds in communities where the campaign is engaged in housing the most vulnerable people. This data point squares with what the Alliance has seen and what child welfare experts find. Youth aging out of foster care are more likely to have mental health problems, histories of trauma, and other potentially disabling conditions, compared to the same age group in the overall population.
So it is disconcerting that the the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which is responsible for implementing health care reform wants to limit Medicaid eligibility under one of the more promising Affordable Care Act provisions for youth. In short, starting in 2014 the ACA allows former foster youth to remain in Medicaid until they are 26 years old. (Age of emancipation varies by state, from 18 to 21). For access to health care, this policy puts them on the same footing as others in their age group, for whom the ACA guarantees continued coverage under a parent's private health insurance policy.
Under regulations proposed by the CMS, former foster youth could encounter trouble when they find themselves in need of service outside the state where the foster care ended. There is no certainty that Medicaid will continue to pay for their services in another state. Rather than making Medicaid coverage portable from state to state, CMS proposes to give states an option whether to cover people from another states.
The public comment period ends on February 21 for this and a number of other regulatory proposals regarding the implementation of the ACA. For suggestions on how to advocate for Medicaid portability for former foster youth, contact firstname.lastname@example.com before COB February 18.
Among the most vulnerable youth, who reach adulthood with housing difficulties, they run the risk of becoming homeless frequently or for long periods of time. A growing body of research tells us that these homeless youth need services and supports along with access to housing where they can stabilize their lives and avoid the label "chronically homeless."
Homeless youth are more likely to move around, pursuing jobs, education, and community. That means they are more likely to find themselves in other states. So CMS's approach makes for significant service gaps when former foster youth are homeless.
Early success in supportive housing and in life may depend upon access to Medicaid supports, wherever they eventually access housing and community aid. And for the agencies reaching out to help them, the uncertainty of Medicaid coverage strains resources and hampers planning to address homelessness.
For former foster youth, Medicaid can be critical. Medicaid allows them to stay in treatment for physical and behavioral health conditions, funds medications that help them function, gives them the opportunity to visit a doctor and learn to manage their own health care as they juggle other practical demands of young adulthood. It was good news when the ACA granted those few extra years of Medicaid to former foster youth.

Tiger Hitting Attack Too Much For Wildcats
April 13, 2003
Baton Rouge, La. - The University of Kentucky softball team had a season-low 15 at bats Sunday as they fell in five innings to the 11th-ranked LSU Tigers (33-11, 11-6), 11-1. Senior Nikki Jones had the UK's only two hits of the day as Kentucky fell to 9-34 overall and 1-22 in the SEC.
Nikki Jones led off the game with her first hit of the series, a single to center field. After Lori Melchi sacrificed her to second, Lyndsey Angus drew a walk to put runners on first and second with one out. Following a Rachel Friberg foul out, Amy Kendall walked to load the bases. But Jessica Nance popped up to the third baseman to end the early threat from Kentucky.
In the bottom of the inning, the Tigers put the first run on the board. With runners on second and third with two out, Blair Smith singled up the middle. Sara Fitzgerald scored easily from third but with Tessa Lynam trying to get home from second, centerfielder Jessica Nance scooped up the ball and threw a strike to catcher Lyndsey Angus who tagged out Lynam at home for the third out.
LSU added a two more in the bottom of the second on two doubles and two singles. Fitzgerald got her fourth hit and fourth RBI of the series to give the Tigers the 3-1 advantage.
Jones led off the top of the third inning. With the outfield playing shallow because of her reputation as a slapper, Jones laced a triple over the right fielder's head, her team-leading third three-bagger of the season. Following a groundout by Melchi, Angus earned her second walk of the day. Friberg came up and laid down a bunt with Jones taking off from third. The squeeze worked to perfection as Jones slid safely into home for Kentucky's lone run.
As was the case in both games Saturday, LSU had a big third inning, scoring three runs on three hits, a walk and a Kentucky error. The Tigers had an even bigger fourth inning, putting the game out of reach by scoring five more runs and led 11-1.
A one-two-three fifth for the Cats meant the second straight mercy rule win for LSU over the Cats.
The Cats will have a couple days off before traveling to Bloomington, Ind., to take on Big Ten opponent Indiana in a doubleheader, Wednesday, April 16. The first game will begin at 3 p.m. CT, which is a change from the original 2 p.m. start.

As for the front stress/strut bar, I'd move that to lower on you list.. It makes very little difference to daily driving, our front strut towers are tied in nicely to the firewall and dont have too much movement. Leave that for down the road, same for the rear stress bar (although that one is slightly more beneficial.) Best gainers in real handling help will be new struts/shocks and stiffer springs , and what you linked to will be a great $/performance gainer (especially sicne the stock suspension has 80k+ miles on it.) Getting those Sparco wheels and some sticky rubber will also be a great addition. I'd also double check to see if your model came with a rear sway bar, crazy as it sounds some models didnt include one.
CFM 'dog bone' is on the list.
My Subaru is a manual tranny as well, so when I drive the Focus, the slop in the stick is appalling. You can find polyurethane bushings for every pivot point on the Subi 5MT, does the replace,ends not exist for the focus?
Tracking the dog bone will help firm up the driveline making shifts better (Subi has the same thing, just higher up called a pitch stop), but it won't do away with the sloppiness in the shifter.

Grandma is typing on her old-fashioned typewriter when a teenage girl in knee highs enter the room. She takes off her panties and stands in the shame corner. After a while grandma takes hold of the girl's ponytail and bends her over the arm of the couch. Then grandma takes out the birch and spanks the girl until her bum is blistering red, and she learnt a lesson.

Lahore - Pakistan's Twenty20 captain Shahid Afridi defended himself on Thursday after a row with a television journalist that prompted the media to briefly boycott coverage of an ongoing training camp, saying he "always respects others".
Afridi was asked by Dunya News journalist Sanaullah Khan at the camp in Lahore on Wednesday how he would improve his captaincy after a recent 3-0 loss against England in the United Arab Emirates saw Pakistan plummet to sixth in the world Twenty20 rankings, from a high of second.
A miffed Afridi retorted: "I expected you to ask such a pathetic and low question, someone ask the next question please."
The dismissive reply on live television ignited anger among journalists, who boycotted the remainder of the planned events on Wednesday and demanded an apology.
Khan, who had asked Afridi a similar question in November and received a similar answer, even took to Twitter with a live #AskSana question-and-answer session about the incident.
On Thursday, Afridi defended himself and accepted responsibility for the humiliation in the UAE.
"I always respect others and demand the same from others," he said.
"It's under my captaincy that the team rose to number two but we made basic errors to lose against England and that affected our rankings."
Team manager Intikhab Alam managed to pacify the media, who returned on Thursday to cover the final day of the camp.
"I have talked to Afridi and he has reiterated that he respects the media, so hopefully such an incident will not happen again," Alam said on Thursday.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said the incident should not be blown out of proportion.
"It should not have happened," PCB chairperson Shaharyar Khan told media. "We will look into it but don't take it as something big."
Afridi has led Pakistan since Mohammad Hafeez stepped down in 2014, winning six of the last 10 matches.
Pakistan will fly to New Zealand on January 10 to play three Twenty20 matches and as many one-day internationals, the first in Auckland on January 15.
Afridi said he was sure the players would improve their rankings during the tour.

President Mohamed Morsi entered leadership of Egypt with an excellent opportunity to move his nation forward by revamping its economy, fosteringt a democratic political system that allowed those of diverse ideas to come together, instead, he pushed the Muslim Brotherhood agenda which opposed those with secular views and ensured that clerics would run society, not technocrats with economic and political knowledge. The result is massive riots in major cities, over 50 dead people and at least a thousand wounded. General
Abdel Fattah al-Sisi warned that continued violence threatened the very existendce of the Egyptian nation. In theory the Morsi Constitution lessens
Army control and, in so doing, provides the armed force an opportunity to allow civilians to fail and then ride to the rescue.
The army is passing the buck, but there will come a moment when chaos reigns and the Army is needed to restore law and order. Many in the streets warn if the
Army arrives to crush their protest it would only spark greater protests. A new group has emerged-the Black Bloc– which is anti Muslim Brotherhood and ready for violence. Such is the legacy of Mohamed Morsi!!

Republican border patrol hawk Sheriff Paul Babeu, who is also running for Congress in Arizona, just got hit by a huge scandal. Babeu worked with Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign but has since stepped down as Arizona co-chair.
Babeu became the face of Arizona border security nationally after his show of opposition to illegal immigration/undocumented workers. Unless he's having a sexual relationship with one of them apparently. For years.
This was a coming out party of sorts.
Babeu's now ex-boyfriend came forward with accusations that the Sheriff threatened to deport him if he disclosed their relationship. Photos and text messages manifested to bring credibility to the accusations.
Phoenix New Times broke the story:
…threatened his Mexican ex-lover with deportation when the man refused to promise never to disclose their years-long relationship, the former boyfriend and his lawyer tell New Times.
The latest of the alleged threats were made through Babeu's personal attorney, who's also running the sheriff's campaign for Congress in District 4, the ex-lover says.
He says lawyer Chris DeRose demanded he sign an agreement that he would never breathe a word about the affair. But Jose (New Times is withholding his last name because Babeu and his attorney have challenged his legal status) refused.
Huffpo reports, "According to Jose's immigration attorney, Babeu's lawyer falsely claimed the central Mexico resident's visa paperwork had expired" adding "He did come in and retain me late last year based on threats and intimidation, and he wanted an attorney to help protect him."
The scandal plagued sheriff has also been a Fox News regular and appeared in John McCain campaign ad, "Complete that danged fence" stating, "Senator, you're one of us." Hmm…there's too many jokes here.
And then there's his little white supremacy problem.
Tucson Citizen reports:
We remember that the newly elected Sheriff shot into the national headlines after he went on a white supremacist radio show. Some people were appalled by this; yet for others this is what they needed, a new Fox News right-wing star to replace the aging Arpaio.
Complete with Mexican-hating and skin-head.
Except for when Paul Babeu doesn't hate Mexicans, but loves them all night long.
As I said, too many jokes, too little time. But, I can post tweets by @FakeDanSavage:
Bright side:
#Babeu was intercepting illegal sperm before it could make any anchor babies. There's more than one way to protect our borders!
Make sure there's a glory hole in that danged fence.

I have a got hotblast coal furnace that I've been burning wood and bit coal in since September. I bought 3 bags of nut coal ( biggest size the had) to try out.
This stuff seems like a pain to light but it burns pretty. The only way I could get it to light is th start a small bit fire then add this to it.
I got about a 8 hour burn time to the one bag I loaded last night. Anybody got any tips? I get about the same if not a lil longer burn from my bit coal. But that's all I've ever burned so I'm a newbie. To this hard coal.
Any tips would be great. Thanks.

Good for the CHP.
Cracked me up when one dummy said in the interview that he knew one of the suspects who was shot, and that she was pregnant.
Sad that babys mom and dad are already scum.
Either that, or she should start picking better friends.
The street urchins everywhere are escalating their actions as they must feel they have nothing to lose.
