Both sides recommend sparing killer's life
(Columbus) — Cleveland prosecutors say they are not confident they could obtain a death sentence today for a condemned killer facing execution next month.
Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Matthew Meyer told the Ohio Parole Board that without that confidence, his office can't recommend that Billy Slagle be executed for the 1987 stabbing death of a neighbor.
Meyer said Monday that the position of the office on capital punishment has changed with the election of new prosecutor Tim McGinty and a new set of criteria are being applied to both old and new cases.
Meyer says the decision to recommend mercy was not meant to diminish the heinous facts of the killing of Mari Anne Pope, stabbed 17 times while two young children she was watching were in the house.

Editor's Note: This story was updated at 6:38 p.m. ET with clarification on the budget figures. The story initially listed third offset funding as $35 million. A senior defense official contacted Defense News to clarify that was only for science and technology funding. This story has been updated to reflect that.
BRUSSELS — The Pentagon's fiscal 2017 budget request includes $71.8 billion for research and development, a 4 percent uptick from the previous year's enacted $69 billion.
Included in that is $3.6 billion in fiscal 2017 for the so-called third offset technology push, with $18 billion spread over the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP), a senior Pentagon official told Defense News.
According to the official, over the FYDP the Pentagon plans to spend $3 billion on Anti-Area/Access-Denial (A2/AD) technologies, $500m on guided munitions challenges, $3 billion on submarine and undersea challenges, $3 billion on human-machine collabroation and teaming, $1.7 billion on cyber and EW issues, and $500 million on expanding wargaming and operational concept tests and demonstrations.
In a series of public events leading up to the budget, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter emphasized that the department's spending would focus on advanced technologies and capabilities, something he reiterated Tuesday while in transit from Washington to Brussels for a series of meetings with US allies.
"We have a wide spectrum of challenges, and one of them is to make sure the American military remains the first with the most when it comes to capability," Carter said.
Carter repeatedly used the word "deterrence" when discussing the strategic mindset which shaped his budget choices, including the need to deter both North Korea and Russia from making moves against the US or its allies — largely through the development of new technologies they cannot counter.
In December, Deputy Secretary of Defense Bob Work laid out the key components of the third offset program, which included autonomous "deep learning" machines and systems, human-machine collaboration, assisted-human operations, advanced human-machine teaming and semiautonomous weapons. Those are largely futuristic concepts, which require significant R&D.
Last week, Carter revealed a list of programs that the Strategic Capabilities Office is developing. Those include putting sensors onto bombs to create better targeting capabilities, swarming autonomous vehicles, the installation of a projectile developed for the electromagnetic railgun on existing weapons and an "arsenal plane" that would be based on an existing, older platform.
In contrast to Work's third offset development, the technologies Carter listed in the SCO are more near-term.
Overall, the budget requests $12.5 billion for science and technology funding. That number is $200 million more than the building requested in its FY16 request, but $500 million less than it received from Congress last year.
It includes $45 million for the Defense Innovation Unit-Experimental (DIU-X), a cornerstone of Carter's desire to reach out to Silicon Valley. It also supports $137 million for six DoD-led Manufacturing Initiative Institutes, part of a White House-directed program to establish a national network of manufacturing centers.
And while the third offset may be getting a relatively small $35 million in the S&T budget total, the budget directs $902 million to the Strategic Capabilities Office, which was largely unknown until Carter featured its work in his Feb. 2 speech.
The term "third offset" has been used interchangeably to include all technological developments, something Ben FitzGerald of the Center for a New American Security in a Feb 5. discussion with Defense News.
"While the Secretary did not use the term offset strategy explicitly in his budget preview speech, the impact of offset thinking is clear in the budget decisions he unveiled," FitzGerald said. "From a capability perspective, investments in Virginia-class submarines and payload modules, nuclear capability, arsenal planes, and swarming autonomous vehicles all support the underlying thinking of a third offset strategy.
"The secretary may not wish to brand his investments with the third offset label, which is totally fine — it's important that he owns this push regardless of the label," he said. "[Carter's] discussion of high end threats, inflections points, increased lethality, prioritizing capability over capacity and the need to take a long-term view are all in alignment with the needs of a third offset strategy."
On Tuesday, Carter downplayed the difference between the third offset push and the work being done by the SCO.
"They're both trying to do related things, obviously they have different projects, but they're all contributing to the high-end, high-technology," Carter said. "Basically trying to do the same thing, namely make sure we maintain the qualitative edge in advanced capabilities."
In Washington, Pentagon comptroller Mike McCord also downplayed the money being labeled directly as third offset, saying: "There is not a tag in our budget system that says this program is a third offset idea and this one is not or could not be, so it's a little less precise than saying what is connected to the submarine program."

Red Ochre Days
Roussillon and around
25.07.2012 - 27.07.2012
(On the ochre trail, Roussillon)
July 25
Today, from Roussillon (our home base), we drove to Aix-en-Provence (pronounced X) and parked in a big underground parking garage. "Aix" is actually a much nicer, more prosperous-looking city than, say, Avignon, although it is much smaller. We strolled down Cours Mirabeau, their famous pedestrian-friendly street, past La Rotonde, a gigantic traffic-circle fountain. We had their city's specialty patisserie item, "calissons," and ate them outside, near one of the smaller fountains, moss-covered from centuries of neglect.
(Aix-Rated fountain)
We also had a cafe break at "Aux Deux Garcons," once the favourite of Cezanne. It's been there since 1792, and among the others who ate there are Churchill and Picasso. We did a lot of shopping (at least for us), especially Anica, who bought earrings, a scarf, and a hat (all skull-themed in their own unique ways). Lunch was in Richelme square, where Jenn and I had the "suggestion" of the day, a lamb "plat."
At dinner, back in Roussillon, Jenn didn't feel well, so just the four of us went out, choosing the Bistrot de Roussillon again (like the first night we were in town). We enjoyed the dinner, but the smoking and the dogs beside me are starting to overshadow the pleasant aspects of the patio experience. I won't miss all the smoking when we leave France!
July 26
Out time here is winding down a bit, but we still got off on our early start today to beat the heat and the crowds. Today is a drive up Mont Ventoux. We can see it from Roussillon - we can see it from half the places we've been in Provence, actually. It's a 1912-metre peak, made extra visible by its chalky, deforested cap, and lighthouse-looking observation tower.
(Summit Approach, Mt. Ventoux)
The road up is all about cyclists. They challenge themselves to cycle to the summit, which is often part of the Tour de France. A British cyclist died here in the 1960s, and we saw his memorial marker. The road is written or painted with messages of encouragement for the cyclists going uphill. We did our part by not running any of them over.
(Like a lunar lansdscape)
Today there was a haze, probably from the extreme heat, but you could still see a long way in all directions.
We came down a different road, to Sault, where we also got out and looked around. It's the centre of the lavender industry, and there's plenty of lavender fields around Sault.
(Sault What? Anica contemplates the lavender)
(Get your lavender here)
It was still only about noon and we'd just had a snack (including "Lion" chocolate bars), so I suggested we take the "Gorge de la Nesque" road. Despite the fact that we'd been to the Gorge de La Verdon recently, this was an impressive sight. The problem was that there was no good way out, and we eventually had gone 30 km and were only 10 or 20 from Sault.
We headed "home" to have a hot dog/sandwich takeaway lunch from "Le Petit Snack" across the street, before having a relaxing afternoon. Jenn and I went and got groceries in Apt for dinner and lunch tomorrow. We made a car back up to get out of our way on the road/ramp to the parking lot, but I'd had to do that a couple of days ago, so ha!
July 27
The last full day in Roussillon - it's been wonderful. In the morning today, we did the famous ochre walk. You pay a couple of euros and enter a landscape like Mars. It's down the side of the cliff in a trail laid out, and the formations are partly natural and partly from the former quarry. So red! It's what many of the buildings are made with, and the palette extends through oranges and yellows and many shades of red. It makes Roussillon unique.
(What a bunch of ochres...)
After more swimming, reading, shopping (Anica), we went out to dinner at Comptoir des Arts. It's a little more expensive, a special final dinner in Provence.
We've been doing so well with our French. I think it really helps. We always start in French, and stick with it unless the people we're speaking with switch to English. We've found none of the "rude" French stereotype, not here and certainly not in Paris. In fact, I would generalize the opposite: the French are exceedingly polite, we've found. Perhaps reserved, perhaps somewhat formal, but the opposite of rude.

Beijing • China's Cabinet office for the Internet says it will step up scrutiny of information technology products for possible security flaws.
Thursday's announcement comes amid tensions between Beijing and Washington over U.S. criminal charges of cyber spying leveled against five Chinese military officers.
The government's Xinhua News Agency said government experts will scrutinize products and services to be used for national security and other public interests. It gave no details of how the examination would be conducted.
Xinhua said the inspections would apply to both foreign and Chinese products. It said makers of products that fail the examination would be barred from selling them in China.

Wine drinkers, listen in. If you think your sipping spectrum is restricted to red, white and pink, you need to get out more; for orange wine, the oenophile's secret that the rest of us have never heard of, is quietly poking its nose into London's wine bars.
If you haven't heard of it yet, it's probably because orange wine is part of an ongoing debate about 'natural' - minimally manipulated - wine, which occupies the more complicated end of that spectrum; Zeren Wilson, London-based wine consultant, says the subject of orange wine is "still in the throes of being tossed about during high falutin' wine debates, amongst those of us in the wine trade…"
Made in the same way as red, only with white grapes, the fruit, skins, pips and stems are mashed up and stored together in an amphora – a large jug - for a particular period of time - anything from seven days to six months. Georgia is generally considered to be the mother of this process, and the trend has spread out to vineyards in Slovenia, Croatia and northern Italy – before steadily making its way over to natural wine bars and restaurants in London.
To Wilson, the most interesting and "palate shocking examples" are those wines made with skins that have been macerated over a year or two. "Tasting white wines with heavily present tannins is a bit of a head spin, but in many ways the kind of palate juddering experience that can excite and provoke discussion," he says.
Certainly a discussion is taking place at Soho's Ducksoup restaurant, where the all-natural wine list now includes an amber offering. Its co-founder Clare Lattin explains that while orange wines have been on sale there for quite a while, they're not well known about: "they have a bit of a following for those in the know," she says. Meanwhile Lattin's business partner, Rory McCoy, says it's become an unusual talking point because its flavours are not in tune with normal wine drinking palettes due to their higher acidities, higher mineralities, and much stronger, unique flavour characteristics.
"People don't often know they're going to like it," he says. "We have one which is like a peach syrup – it has a sweetness on the nose but it's quite dry. We eventually put out the orange wine and people started trying it. At £7 they were willing to try it; at £10 they weren't... Now people come in on recommendation from friends... It's a good talking point."
Emma Dawson, wine and spirits buyer for Marks and Spencer is surprised by the reaction to the store's recent stock of orange wine, which sells at around £8.99 per bottle. After putting it on sale for the first time last October, they sold 1800 bottles and are currently waiting for a second shipment to arrive in the coming weeks.
"It was a new style so we didn't know how it was going to go. We felt it was a bit of a risk. But we're delighted… we sold out of a year's stock in three weeks because of unforeseen demand… there is no data to say exactly who is buying this wine – but the entire range of wine from those interesting countries is being bought by more adventurous consumers; for example people who are looking to explore the world of food."
It's time to order a glass of the house orange.

text: NORTHVILLE, Mich., Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gentherm (NASDAQ-GS: THRM), the global market leader and a developer of innovative thermal management technologies, and Intercoil International, the Dubai-based sleep products manufacturer and retailer, announced today the signing of an exclusive agreement to launch a line of specially designed, heated and cooled memory foam mattress products in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) starting in 2013. The mattress products will feature Gentherm's Climate Control Sleep System™ (CCSS™) technology, which is a variation of the Company's highly successful Climate Control Seat™ (CCS™) technology offered in the global automotive market. Gentherm will supply Intercoil with CCSS thermal conditioning systems to be installed in specially designed memory foam mattresses manufactured and sold by Intercoil International. The CCSS mattress products will be available to purchase through Intercoil International stores and distributers throughout the UAE in 2013. The CCSS mattress products will be sold under the Intercoil brand and be available in double, queen and king sizes. "Intercoil is pleased to bring the latest mattress technology in the form of Climate Control Sleep Systems to the UAE," said Hassan A. Al-Hazeem, Intercoil International Managing Director. "The launch of CCSS in the UAE gives consumers the choice to adjust their personal sleeping climate to the temperature they desire without having to heat or cool the entire bedroom or home." "Intercoil International is a leading producer and retailer in the UAE mattress market. By combining strengths, we believe we can offer consumers in the UAE a new level of sleeping comfort that they have never experienced before," said Gentherm President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel R. Coker. "Since the launch of CCSS two years ago in the U.S., this technology has been well accepted and is increasing in demand as the rollout continues nationwide. We expect further launches in new markets in 2013." About CCSS The Climate Control Sleep System (CCSS) is a highly-efficient, solid state thermoelectric device that thermally conditions ambient room air which is then distributed by high performance blowers to the surface of the mattress. Each side of the mattress can be operated by remote controls independently by the occupant to 5 levels of heating or cooling comfort. A clock and timer are also included in the master control unit to allow for preconditioning of the mattress and cycling in minute or hour increments for up to 8 hours of individualized comfort.

The Bourne Braves are a collegiate summer baseball team based in Bourne, MA. The team is a member of the Cape Cod Baseball League and plays in the league's Western Division. Bourne currently plays its home games at Doran Park in the town of Bourne. The Braves are owned and operated by the non-profit Bourne Athletic Association, and, like other Cape League teams, are funded through merchandise sales, donations, and other fundraising efforts at games such as fifty-fifty raffles.
The Braves won the Cape Cod Baseball League's Western Division Regular Season title in 2007, finishing the year with 52 points and earning a playoff berth for the first time since 2005. Bourne would be swept in the playoffs, however, by the Falmouth Commodores, two games to none.
On August 12, 2009, the Braves defeated the Cotuit Kettleers, 5–1, to win their first ever Cape Cod Baseball League Championship.
The Pre-Modern Era[edit]
Bourne's baseball history is one of the longest of all teams on the Cape, dating as far back as the 1860s when the town was still part of Sandwich. Bourne's own baseball team first joined the Cape League in 1933 and, when the league reformed in 1946, was represented by two teams, the Sagamore Clouters and the Bourne Canalmen.[1]
The Modern Era[edit]
Bourne was eliminated from the first round of the playoffs in 1963, the first year of the Modern Era. The team would not qualify for the post-season again in the next ten years and would cease operations in 1973.
The present-day Bourne Braves were re-formed in 1988 when both they and the Brewster Whitecaps joined the Cape League. The next year, the Braves qualified for the post-season after winning the Western Division Regular Season crown for the first time. The Braves would be swept in the Western Division Championship Series by the Hyannis Mets two games to none.
Bourne would qualify for the playoffs three more times between 1997 and 2001 after finishing in second place in the Western Division each year. The Braves, however, were eliminated each time in the Western Division Championship Series by the division champion Wareham Gatemen.
The Braves finally broke into the championship series for the first time in 2003 after they defeated the Hyannis Mets two games to one to win the Western Division Post-Season title. The Braves, however, would be swept in two games by the Orleans Cardinals, dropping the series two games to none. Bourne would make the championship series again in 2005, only to fall to Orleans a second time, losing two games to one. In 2009, Bourne defeated the Orleans Firebirds in the opening round of the playoffs, and went on to sweep the Cotuit Ketleers two games to none to secure their first Cape League Title.[2]

Lavishly illustrated, this is the first autobiography of one of the most revered and popular soccer players of the modern era Paul Scholes is one of the most celebrated footballers of today, both at home and internationally. A one-club player, he has served Manchester United for more than sixteen years, making over 600 appearances in that time--the fourth highest number of appearances by any player for the club. He also represented the England national team for seven years, winning 66 caps that included two World Cup and two European Cup campaigns. Throughout this time, Scholes has always played a decisive role in his teams' fortunes. As well as the technical brilliance that makes Paul Scholes such a breathtaking player to watch, it is the determination and integrity which he demonstrates both on and off the pitch that means he is a fascination to fans of the sport. In an age of overpaid, workaday players, Scholes has become an icon of professionalism and club loyalty, admired by fans everywhere. Now, for the first time, Paul Scholes shares his story--from his beginnings at United under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson as part of the "golden" youth team, to the treble-winning season and twice capturing European Cup glory, the importance of family and friends in keeping his feet on the ground, as well as his many triumphs and tribulations with England.

This post is for the four legged heroes who are working hard trying to locate victims of the earthquake in Reggio Emilia, Italy. I wanted to recognize their invaluable contribution to the recovery efforts.
Aftershocks are still occurring. Areas that are badly damaged have been designated as "zone rosse" meaning red zones. To insure safety, people and pets have been displaced from all red zones. They are not allowed to go home, and many have no home to go back to. How awful is that?
You know, I have experienced a hurricane, or two... a few tornadoes, momma knows about earthquakes, she mutters "Mondo Cane" [no I have no idea. She says ... movie, then she gets all weird... so we don't talk about it...] None of these things are any fun. They are messy, nasty, inconvenient and deadly.

European Stocks End Lower
European markets ended lower Tuesday, though well off their worst levels of the session. Equities sank in the early going in a carryover of Monday's decline, as weaker than expected reports on household spending in France (Europe's third largest economy) and consumer confidence in the Netherlands further damaged already weakened sentiment. The major bourses managed a partial recovery after a better than expected report on U.S. consumer confidence.
In London, the Financial Times-Stock Exchange 100 index closed off 68.30 points, or 1.83%, to 3,671.10, as Prime Minister Blair pressed the case for attacking Iraq, which helped drive oil prices sharply higher. The biggest contributors to the decline in the FTSE included BP-Amoco, AstraZeneca,and banking concerns Royal Bank of Scotland and HSBC Holdings.
In France, the CAC 40 finished down 51.50 points, or 1.84%, to 2,742.81, as French consumer spending fell 0.1% in August, and a published report says French social security deficit will rise in 2003.
And in Germany, the DAX Index was lower by 41.04 points, or 1.41%, to 2,873.21, on Iraq war fears and negative corporate earnings news.
In Asia, the markets finished lower. The Nikkei fell 159.44 points, or 1.68%, to 9,321.64. on growing pessimism over U.S. equities and the country's cooperate earnings. The market players expressed disappointment as the Japan's Council on Economic and Fiscal Policy (CEFP) has decided to wait until the end of October to announce any specific measures to boost the economy and reform financial systems, according to MMS. In Hong Kong, the market lost 117.19 points, or 1.26%, to 9,197.68.

Metering options include the usual centre weighted, evaluative and spot metering options, alongside two further spot metering options, Highlight and Shadow. Although not new to Olympus, these two are extremely useful and worth pointing out. When used with dark or light subjects, the camera will automatically compensate for the subject to enable accurate exposures. Of course the camera also has exposure bracketing over 3 frames alongside white balance bracketing and flash bracketing. A supplemental mode is shadow adjustment, a dynamic range tool to compensate for backlit subjects or very contrasty scenes.
As for the exposure options, the camera has the full complement of Manual, Program AE, Shutter and Aperture Priority AE and auto as well as a wide range of scene modes. The most common scene modes are available from the top mode dial, with a further more specialised collection available in the Scene menu.
Olympus has maintained the cameras drive speed of 3.5fps, which allows 8 frames of Raw images, or around 20 fine JPEGs. There's also the choice of 2 or 10 second self timer, whilst the anti-shock mode, ensures mirror vibration is eradicated when taking long exposures by leaving a gap of between 1 and 30 seconds in the time the mirror is lifted and the shutter is opened and closed.
As well as the mandatory built-in flash the E-520 now accepts wireless flash units, Olympus new FL36R and FL50R, allowing communication between camera and off-camera flash. This is a nice addition and something Olympus has been a little slower to implement than some other manufacturers.

I was going to buy the E-510 as it has come down so much, but the features on the 520 seem worthy of serious consideration. I've read where some people complain the 520 does not deliver as sharp of pictures or as color saturated as the 510. Anybody heard anything about that?

text: PPS mags are really, really hard to find. None of the local stores have them, not even the gun shows. At least here in FL. They may not be particularly cheap but the only place I have been able to find them in stock is at the Walther USA website through S&W. I just checked and they are $58.80. Sorry didn't check the in-stock status. Warning: what ever you do, do not order from Tactical Gun Armory. They will let you order as if they are in stock and they will immediately charge your credit card. You will soon get a backorder email and that is the last you will ever hear from them. I finally had to complain through my card company which worked but it took several months to go through their investigation process. If you check BBB and other online rating services you will see what I am talking about. It was very worth it to me to pay the few bucks extra at the S&W online store, at least you know they won't cheat you.

#2879 closed Feature Requests (fixed)
[asio] Handling of unix signals
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Boost 1.39.0
|Boost 1.38.0
This proposal suggests adding to asio the ability to invoke a handler whenever a unix signal arrives.
- The extension lets the user have a unix signal handler of an arbitrary signature.
- The extension also removes the "async-signal safe calls" restriction from a handler of a unix signal.
The extension is supposed to be used like this:
void on_signal(boost::system::error_code const& error) {
if (!error)
cout << "sigint received" << endl;
int main(int argc, char const* argv[])
boost::asio::io_service ios; boost::asio::posix::signal_handler<SIGINT> sigint(ios); while (true) {
ios.reset(); sigint.async_wait(boost::bind(on_signal, _1)); ios.poll();
The original proposal on the mail list can be found here. http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2009/03/149890.php
Please find the implementation and examples in the attachments.

I would like this as well.
comment:3 Changed 8 years ago by anonymous
There was also interest aside from the mail list. So, i made a small library out of this proposal. The library can be found here http://github.com/dgoncharov/libunixsignal/. The library uses autotools. So, basically all you need to do is to type ./configure; make install.

Signal handler based on Boost.Asio design guidelines
comment:5 Changed 7 years ago by anonymous
The implementation proposed in the last comment is incorrect. It uses async-signal-unsafe syscalls like locking a mutex inside a signal handler.

Updated signal handler (based on Boost.Asio design patterns)
comment:6 Changed 7 years ago by bschaeling
I've updated the signal handler's implementation. Can you (who you are anonymous :-) please check the new version? It uses a pipe now (there is only write() called in the signal handler function). The tests are still all passed.
comment:7 Changed 6 years ago by chris_kohlhoff
- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
As of [72428], the release branch contains the new signal_set class.

After Connie Lee earned her bachelor's degree in communications from the University of Calgary, she travelled overseas while completing a master's degree in international marketing and brand management in Sweden. She admits that when she came back to Calgary, her future was uncertain in a wobbly economic environment.
"It was definitely a very uncertain time," says Lee. "Everyone around me for a really long time didn't really worry about having a full-time job."
That was during the height of the boom.
Then she stumbled upon an opportunity in an industry she had overlooked: the retail food industry.
Loblaw Companies Ltd., which owns the Superstore chain of grocery stores, is on a hiring spree to recruit 1,000 recent grads in the next five years through its grad@loblaw program.
She applied and was hired into the unique program in April, which takes recent grads into an 18-month training cycle. Lee went into the store management stream.
"In the beginning, I had never really saw myself in the retail food industry, but that's because I didn't really know a lot about it," she says. "But there's something for everybody."
One grad, who worked at a Loblaw-owned store while earning his biochemistry degree, even ended up being recruited into the program's store management stream and is doing great, says senior director of recruitment and diversity Nan Oldroyd.
"We look at setting up this program as a long-term approach to investing in our future talent," says Oldroyd."We get access to some of the best and brightest grads."
The program begins with a six-month rotation in a grocery store to learn every facet of the frontline operations. They then spend three months in the merchandising department and move into their destination department for the remainder of the program.
During the entire time, they are full-time "colleagues" with full benefits, while other streams include finance, IT, marketing, merchandising, supply chain and human resources.
"There really is a wide variety of streams," says Oldroyd. "We're looking for grads who are well-rounded with strong experience or interest in customer service, perhaps some volunteer work throughout school and having graduated within the past 24 months."
The first cohort of 100 grads was hired in April via its loblawgrad.ca web site. The second round of applications closed Oct. 9 for January hiring, but the next 100 will begin to be recruited shortly for the following June hiring. Lee was amazed at the amount of hands-on experience she has gained in only her first six months as she moves into the second rotation, noting that having exposure to senior management talent throughout the process has helped her learn valuable skills.
She plans on a long future with the company, hoping to move into various roles as she progresses along her career path.
"My goal is to continually be challenged (and) where I'm challenging the people around me," says Lee. "This is a way to train myself to be more fearless and be able to take risk and adapt to a changing environment."
At a time when job opportunities for recent grads is not as bright as it used to be -- unemployment is highest among 15-to 25-year-olds right now -- this hiring spree is a welcome opportunity for people like Lee.
The unemployment rate in August for that demographic was 16.4 per cent, according to Statistics Canada -- the highest rate for students since 1977.
"We're going to continue to be going out to the marketplace and recruiting for the best and brightest," says Oldroyd.
The grad@loblaw program has attracted attention from universities across Canada during a time of tough economic conditions.
"It is exciting to see this type of program being offered to graduates interested in pursuing a career in retail," said Elizabeth Evans, director of the Ted Rogers School of Retail Management at Ryerson University.

EURUSD: Sees Bearish Momentum Extension, Eyes The 1.2587 Level
EUR continues to weaken breaking below the 1.2874/56 levels to close the week lower. This now leaves the risk of further weakness towards its Sept 2010 low at 1.2703 where a breach will pave the way for further declines towards the 1.2587 level, its Aug 2010 low. Further down, support stands at the 1.2479 level. Its daily and weekly RSI are bullish and pointing lower supporting this view. Alternatively, on any recovery, the 1.2874/56 levels eroded the past week will be targeted where a reversal of roles as resistance is expected to turn the pair back down. However, if that zone is taken out, more weakness is likely towards the 1.3074 level and then the 1.3197 level. Above here if seen will aim at the 1.3212 level, its Nov 25'2011 low. All in all, EUR has resumed its medium term downtrend as it looks to weaken further.

timers for lights
Are all timers the same? My work schedule is such now that my lights are on nearly 12 hrs a day. I use a 48" shop light on my low tech 125, and I'm starting to see algae on the glass as well as some hair algae within the tank. I have a Coralife on my 29 & no algae so far, but still I'd like to use a timer on it.
I see timers at Petsmart made by aquarium companies, but I work at Walmart and we have a large selection of light timers - aren't they all basically the same?
I grabbed a few of those 3-5 dollar timers from wal-mart and have been using them for years on my tanks with no issues. I think sometime the more expensive timers have additional features, but a lot of times you end up paying for a brand name. I just want mine to turn my lights on and off, so the cheap guys work for me.
Thanks, that's all I want, too - on & off!
I have had nothing good to say about those cheap crap Brinks timers. I have gone through probably 4 of them in a year. I just keep bringing them back and exchanging them. The leds go out, or they lose time, or if you unplug them for 2 minutes they lose settings.... If I were to do it again I would avoid them like the plague. I am talking about the $5, 6, 7 ones. Emailed the company - never heard back. YMMV
We have other brands too - I'll look them over before Brinks...
I have the Brinks timers on my tank and they have been working great for almost a year with no issues. Yes, you'll have to spin the timer around if it gets unplugged for extended times/there is a power outage, but that takes maybe 5-10 seconds to adjust.
I'm sorry - I didn't specify. These are the digital units, not the mechanicals..
I use a digital timer from Lowes and HD. It's a "heavy duty commercial" unit that runs about $17. Has 2 outlets on it but I have a strip plugged in and run about 6 off that.
I use the white and gray $10 timers. Never found a cheaper one and wouldn't use them anyway. Had my two for 2.5yrs, no issues with them.
Lowes, Walmart and Petsmart have them. Backs say "Marineland aquarium" or "aquarium" on them, depending on where you get them. Didn't realize they did until I just checked them to get a picture....
I also buy a three plug to put into the timer, since I have two fixtures on each tank.
These are the POS I'm talking about:
target has good ones with 3 prongs. Its not digital so it wont reset in a power outage. They also have a button to over ride and turn on for servicing.
I use the digital timer power strips that you can buy from Home Depot - http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...1#.UMSCovWPV8E
amazon also sells it for alittle cheaper - http://www.amazon.com/Globe-Electric...er+Strip+Timer
The digital ones are the worst idea ever, they don't realize that maybe it will be a dark space behind the entertainment center that it is plugged in, and oh yea you have to crawl back there and hit 100 buttons to program it. And when the power flicks off, guess whos crawling back there again! Get the brinks mechanical "mini" timers. It's like $4 for the non grounded and $5 for the grounded and you get 15 min intervals. Found at a walmart.
I have to agree on that one. No backlight, and they're SUPPOSED to have battery backups that keep the settings for a short time WHEN THEY WORK. I'm inclined to bring these 3 back to Walmart and trade them for mechanicals. On my list of things I'll probably never get around to doing :-)

Jennette McCurdy Loses her Mom to Cancer
She's only 21 years old, but Jennette McCurdy just suffered the devastating loss of her mother to breast cancer.
On Friday, Debra McCurdy finally succumbed to the disease. In a Statement, the actress's rep shared, "Jennette has suffered an unimaginable loss. Please respect her and her family's privacy at this time of mourning. She appreciates the love and support of her fans."
The "Sam & Cat" star wrote about her mother's battle in the Wall Street Journal in 2011, sharing, "If you're reading this and you were one of those people who thought, 'young actors have perfect lives,' I hope that you will think differently now. We do have challenges. We do cry. We are experiencing difficult things. But we will continue to smile and crack jokes because, as entertainers, even if we're privately struggling with painful trials, our job is to make others forget theirs."
Originally diagnosed in 1995, the big C returned in 2010 and spread throughout her body. On Saturday, Jennette was scheduled to host Nickelodeon's Worldwide Day of Play.

Ok, well, title says it all really. I've got so many things running side by side that I can't see myself ever getting them all done, and now I decide to start a Blog. Whoops... :wacko: Seems like there's never enough time, and the more you have to spare, the faster it leaves you behind. What's that about? My Wood Elves are an ongoing project, being entirely complete although I'm steadily going through a process of replacing all the units in the army with indentical (but better painted) ones. Oh yeah, and I'm busy converting a Highborn on Forest Dragon. As far as gaming goes, they're up to the task, and are getting better at it, except for the occasional blip - I recently suffered horrendous defeats against Dark Elves and Ogres. Alongside that, I've got Orcs & Goblins who have yet to see much action, and I've got about 500 points of stuff to get painted, but I'm getting nowhere. Similarly, I've got a 1,000 Point Empire army that is entirely unpainted, saving a hero on foot, and the mounted general's horse, that are currently just gathering dust on the shelf. And now they bring out new Dark Angels. It's a shame you can't just put your life on hold for a month to thrash out all those niggly little hobby tasks that need doing. Painting over chipped areas on well-used metal models, green-stuffing the arm of your general because his sword fell off and won't glue back on, converting that new general you've been planning for months and months but will probably never use for fear of breaking it and because you'll rarely get to play a game with a hight enough points limit - those kind of jobs. And there comes a point when they are jobs and not fun anymore. Oh well, I suppose I'd better stop procrastinating, and get on with them, eh? Have a good one. GS EDIT - corrected some typos.

POV ceremony today … what else happened in the BB house? Continue reading to see and join our forums for more!
I'd love for Julie to say "Rachel, I'd like to play a game with you called WWJCD. Actually, there's no reason to explain the game. You already lost." ~ Kristin [re: Thursday's eviction]
Around 910am BBT, it looks like the houseguests were being told to get up for the day. Throughout the morning not much more than Saboteur talk was happening. Talk about production/Saboteur and if he/she goes around listening to conversations to see what can cause the most drama. Talk then shifted to Rachel dancing on the table last night. Classy discussion….POV ceremony was scheduled for 11am BBT. More on that in a minute.
She [Rachel] treats him [Brendon] like a leftover dirty blanket with dead cat hairs and roadkill smell on it and he's so nice to her. ~ Grandmamichelf
During the ceremony Brendon had some choice words for Britney, referring to her as a spoiled brat and in a number of alliances in the house. It seems as if Brendon's plan is to get people pissed at him from that so that they keep Rachel in the house. On the flip side, it looks like the house will try to make Brendon and Rachel think Brendon is leaving and surprise them when Julie says Rachel is evicted. Meanwhile the Brigade plans on keeping Kathy around to the final 5 and getting rid of Brendon/Britney/Ragan next.
When Brendon is still there on Thursday night, I hope Britney says, "I'm used to getting what I want since I'm a spoiled brat and what I wanted was for Rachel to leave the house. Looks like I won again." Then I want her to win HOH just so we can see Brendon kiss her ass. ~Kristin
Not long after, we were back to the usual lounging in the BB house. As the evening rolls around, small talk/chit chat was intertwined with speculation on what Thursday's HOH comp will be. Everyone seems to think it's going to be a "Before or After" competition. Most of the HGs are sitting thinking what could be questions, as well as trying to figure out how much paint the bucket in the last HOH comp could hold.
I've got them [Rachel & Brendon] muted. Are they thinking that one of the HOH comp questions will be "Did Rachel give Brendon a blowjob before or after Kathy got stuck in the caramel?" ~ Kristin
And ladies and gentlemen, I do not kid when I say nothing has really happened since the little "tiff" after the POV ceremony. How exciting is this house?? I guess you can find out tomorrow with another Yakdate.
Thanks again to our screencappers and updaters for providing material for today's recap!

You're the man! This is awesome
What happened to the total amount on referrals? I'm only getting my percentage but can't see the amount deposited by the user. or is it just me?
At first, I was skeptical about this bundle working for my benefit since I don't have any of my files in it. But I'm surprised my sales are even better today than previous weeks. I guess It did bring more buyers that are getting interested on buying other stuff along with the bundle.
Congrats to those who were picked.
Welcome to the Hive Robert.
That is good news. Congrats
Dont!!! You'll be breaking forum rules. Also, there's pirates always on the lookout for those kind of links. You wouldn't like contributing to that.
Mocarg said
I would love if Videohive made some PDF Help template for us authors to use…
My help files are really simple and easy. Just a simple plain *.txt.
Example:Hey! Welcome to my new file! It's pretty simple to edit just follow these steps:
Edit text: -Go to "Project Panel" -Go to "Edit" folder -Open up "Intro Text" folder -Open up each composition and edit text
Edit videos/images: -Go to "Project Panel" -Go to "Edit" folder -Open up "Images" folder -Open up each composition and import your footage below the layers
Render: -Open up "_Final 720p" and render it out!
Nothing fancy…-m.
Same here. Just a simple .txt file with a short description, general editing info and rendering tips.
I've noticed that many buyers ask questions that are already answered in the help file. Makes me wonder what % of them actually read through it.
Ilyon said
When do you get the video for videoholders with e.x. athletic men, dancing people, singing girl, talking men,... all these that we can see on the most VH project? Maybe I've missed something?!
I'm not sure if it is allowed to post the link here. Check your email.
Congrats Mocarg!
Very well deserved. Congrats!

Originally written on isportsweb.com | Last updated 10/28/14
The sport of Horse Racing experienced it's own Christmas miracle when owner Ahmed Zayat recently announced that 2012 Haskell Invitational winner Paynter would be sent back to trainer Bob Baffert's barn on Dec 29 to resume training and his racing career. If you recall Paynter, by the gorgeous Awesome Again, led most of the way in the 2012 Belmont Stakes before being gunned down late by Union Rags. He bounced back several weeks later to manhandle his foes (Dullahan and Gemologist for starters) in the 2012 Haskell Invitational and a star was born. But it was not to be….after the Haskell Paynter contracted a virus that escaladed very quickly. The virus (basically) turned into to colitis, which in turn, caused the beginnings of laminitis in three of his four hooves and before we knew it, (his weight plummeted to below 1,000 lbs) Paynter was fighting for his life. With round the clock care, the resilient Paynter eventually defeated the colitis, and got the laminitis under control, but was still "spiking" fevers. He was sent to the New Bolton Center in Pennsylvania, where it was discovered that on top of the colitis and laminitis, Paynter had an infection that was partially blocking his intestines. Put into surgery almost immediately, doctors removed an eye popping 15 inch abscess from his digestive tract. Several days after that, he went to Fair Hill to recover. To say that Paynter's recover has gone well would be the understatement of the year. Paynter put on over 100 lbs (I know how he feels, I've also put on that much weight during the holidays) and is now reportedly up to almost 1,100 lbs…his fighting weight sort of speak. Mr. Zayat tweeted: Paynter has made it very clear to me, my family and his vets and all his caretakers that he is ready to go back to his trainer (Bob Baffert) to resume what he love as a Thoroughbred which is racing and being around all his friends. After getting the green light from all his vets and him passing yesterday's physical examination and ultrasounds that were done at the NewBoltonCenter with flying colors. It was decided that he is ready to ship to California. After searching all possible flights, we found out that the best direct flight will be on December 29th from Newark airport to LAX. My family and I are extremely excited and proud of our warrior. We have made plans to personally travel to CA to be the first to welcome our special colt back to his old home and to make sure that he is settled safely and happily On a personal note, I'd like to openly apologize to Paynter because I, for one, thought for sure his career was over and thought probably his life as well. I underestimated the soon to be four year old's heart, sheer will to survive, guts and determination. This is certainly not the first time a horse has proved me wrong and it certainly won't be the last time either…but you know what?…. I'm so glad he did. Thanks for reading Paynter… this year's Christmas miracle

2011 Draft
Pirates' Draft Is An Impossible Situation
2011 Draft
70% of you said that you'd take Rendon first overall.
In less than three weeks, the Pittsburgh Pirates will make the important choice of who they want with the first overall pick in the MLB draft. Normally, the number one pick is a gift for a team in need. This time last year, if the Pirates had the number one overall pick, they'd be set to take one of the best young talents in the history of the draft: Bryce Harper. If they had the pick two years ago, they would be in position to take Stephen Strasburg, one of the best college pitchers ever. In fact, when the Pirates "clinched" the 2011 number one pick, they were in prime position to take Anthony Rendon, a sure bet to win the NCAA Player of the Year award in back to back years.
Instead, the first overall pick seems to be a c...

But it wasn't always that easy, and it certainly wasn't that pretty. The Mountaineers didn't move the chains in the first quarter, were out-gained 179 to 19 in terms of total yardage in the same span and trailed 6-0 early in the second period.
Even after grabbing a 10-6 edge on an 18-yard pass from Geno Smith to Devon Brown, WVU found a way to give it right back, allowing Norfolk State's Ryan Estep to hit a pair of field goals in the last 90 seconds of the half and take a 12-10 lead into the halftime break.
West Virginia (2-0) was serenaded by loud boos from the 51,911 in attendance on the way to its locker room.
"Obviously, I'm not really pleased with the first half," said head coach Dana Holgorsen, who indicated he understood why those fans saw fit to boo.

Player of the Game
|Tavon Austin: six receptions, 82 yards, TD; four punt/kick returns, 111 yards, long of 64
He went on to indicate his coaching staff changed nothing schematically during the break. But whatever happened inside that locker room apparently worked.
A far more efficient team emerged in the second half. At halftime, WVU had gained 143 yards on 33 plays. It added another 137 in the first 15 snaps of the second half.
All told, the Mountaineers scored on nine of their final 11 drives. They only punted once after the first quarter ended and went a second-straight game without turning the ball over via fumble or interception. The only other non-scoring drive beside the punt in that span was the final possession of the game, when they ran the clock out.
"I don't know if we're trying too hard or if it was a coaching error [in the first half], but either way, I'm proud of the way we came out in the second half," Holgorsen said. "We got a lot of great snaps, and hopefully it will make us a better team."
Indeed, while the offense was shoddy enough to draw early boos, it still managed to outpace even the best game of Holgorsen's predecessor, Bill Stewart. West Virginia gained 533 total yards on Saturday. Stewart's best offensive game in terms of yardage, a 2010 win over Rutgers, saw WVU tally 523.

"He plays well," Holgorsen said of Smith. "He gets tempo, and he plays with some bounce and some enthusiasm. He has a voice on the sidelines, and he's one of the only voices on the sidelines with his experience and leadership."
His receivers must be pleased with that leadership. Five different players caught touchdown passes (including Brad Starks, who snared a 30-yard strike from backup QB Paul Millard to set the final score).
Smith threw three touchdowns in the decisive second half, hitting Tavon Austin, Tyler Urban and Ivan McCartney for scores of three, 12 and 39 yards, respectively.
They sandwiched those scores around rushing touchdowns from Vernard Roberts (a 3-yard run on the first drive of the second half to give WVU a 17-12 lead) and Dustin Garrison (a 1-yard plunge that blew the game open at 31-12).
But while the running game, like the rest of the offense, improved in the second half, it was awful in the first -- gaining only 39 yards on 15 attempts.
Roberts got the lion's share of the carries, with 17 attempts for 64 yards. Garrison ran only three times, but gained 19 yards -- almost doubling Roberts' 3.8 yards per carry average.
Thus, that position battle may still be wide open heading into a road game at Maryland next Saturday.
"We didn't really think they could run on us, which they couldn't," said Norfolk State head coach and WVU alumnus Pete Adrian, in a telling quote from the coach of a team that was 4-4 in the Football Championship Subdivision's MEAC and lost 31-0 to Rutgers in 2010.
"Our run game was not good," Holgorsen agreed.
But if West Virginia can pass like it did Saturday, it may not matter.
Austin led all receivers with six catches for 82 yards. Brown, a Wake Forest transfer, had 109 yards on his four grabs. McCartney added another 79 yards. Nine Mountaineers caught at least one pass, and seven had multiple receptions.
For Norfolk State, (1-1) Chris Walley was 16-of-27 passing for 136 yards. Nico Flores added another 61 passing yards on two completions.

Djerba–Zarzis International Airport (French: Aéroport international de Djerba-Zarzis, Arabic: مطار جربة جرجيس الدولي) (IATA: DJE, ICAO: DTTJ) is the international airport serving the island of Djerba in Tunisia.[5] The airport began operation in 1970[6] and today is an important destination for seasonal leisure flights.
Airlines and destinations[edit]
Accidents and incidents[edit]
- On 6 August 2005, Tuninter Flight 1153, a Tuninter ATR-72 en route from Bari to Djerba, Tunisia, ditched into the Mediterranean Sea about 18 miles from the city of Palermo. 16 of the 39 people on board died. The accident resulted from engine fuel starvation that resulted from the installation of the wrong fuel quantity indicator. The fuel quantity indicator installed had been calibrated for the smaller ATR-42 aircraft and showed significantly more fuel than was actually in the tank of the larger ATR 72. When the aircraft ran out of fuel, the indicator still showed 1800 kilograms of fuel remaining thus confusing the crew for several minutes. Both engines stopped and the crew was forced to ditch the airliner in the sea.[8]
- The airport was a stopover for Air Berlin chartered flight AB7377, which was involved in a bomb scare. During loading at Hosea Kutako International Airport in Namibia, a suitcase was discovered that contained a clock, batteries and a firing mechanism. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the object was part of a test to assess the quality of airport screening procedures. The A330-200 aircraft was examined with an explosives sniffer dog, before it was allowed to fly to Munich Airport, via a stopover in Djerba.[9]

USAFA, Colo. – Senior Kristy Ardavanis finished sixth overall on 1-meter with a 12-dive total score of 551.35 to lead NAU on the second day of the NCAA Zone E Championship hosted by the Air Force Academy. Based on platform results on Saturday, Ardavanis' 1-meter finish could earn her a berth in next week's NCAA Championships.
"She dove great; there were a couple spots where she could have been a hair sharper but that's how the meet goes," NAU diving coach Nikki Huffman said. "After prelims she was 12th and she brought herself all the way up to sixth. To finish sixth against a deep field of 49 is really great."
Ardavanis qualified for the final in 12th place with a prelim total of 266.40 before jumping six spots with a 284.95 score in the final round. Her cumulative total of 551.35 was just .55 behind the fifth-place finisher as Ardavanis' sixth-place finish put her 15th on the priority list to potentially earn one of nine qualifying spots available at the Zone for the NCAA Championships.
If three specific divers - from Pac-12 schools USC, UCLA, and Utah – finish as the top three on platform on Saturday then Ardavanis would become just the second diver in NAU program history to qualify for the NCAA Championships. If those three aren't the top three platform finishers then Ardavanis would be an alternate. The scenario is based on the priority list used by the NCAA to select nine divers from the zone and the finishes of those three divers in the 1-meter and 3-meter competitions.
"I had a kind of rocky prelims but in finals I did really well," Ardavanis said. "I'm really excited that I did well and I'm happy with it but it's really stressful that it's completely out of my control if I go or not. I'm praying that everything works out but I can't be sad with my performance and if this is the end I ended it well."
Freshman Chelsea Jackson made her first career Zone final on Friday as she finished 15th overall with a 520.15 total. She scored 261.70 in the final to move up three positions after placing 18th in the prelims at 258.45. Junior Gwen Smithberg rounded out NAU's competitors on 1-meter as she placed 46th overall.
Ardavanis will not compete on platform but Smithberg and Jackson will dive in the platform competition on Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. Arizona time.

Citation: Katzav-Gozansky, T., Boulay, R., Vander Meer, R., Hefetz, A. 2004. In-nest environment modulates nestmate recognition in the ant Camponotus fellah. Naturwissenschaften. p. 1-10. Interpretive Summary: A key element in the success of ants is that a colony's queen(s) is usually shielded from outside intrusions of pathogens and parasites by large numbers of sterile workers. Nestmate recognition (recognition of other members of your colony) maintains this colony insularity, thus workers from each colony of a given species may behave aggressively toward workers from another colony and compete for territory and resources. Our understanding of the nestmate recognition system is still rudimentary. Scientists at the Center for Medical, Agricultural and Veterinary Entomology, Gainesville, Florida and the Department of Zoology, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel, through a U.S.- Israel Binational Science Foundation grant demonstrated for the first time that nest-volatiles affect nestmate recognition, and that the nestmate recognition process is governed by more than hydrocarbons found on the cuticle of worker ants. This work broadens the search for compounds that modify nestmate recognition behavior. Understanding nestmate recognition in ants may lead to better ways to get pathogens and parasites past the formidable defences of pest ants, such as the fire ant, Solenopsis invicta.
Technical Abstract: Multiple behavioural and chemical studies indicate that nestmate recognition cues are low-volatile substances that reside on the cuticular surface. We tested the hypothesis that nest environment, in particular nest volatile odours, can modulate nestmate recognition-mediated aggression. Workers of Camponotus fellah were isolated within their own nest by confining them in small cages composed by either single (SM) or double mesh (DM) screening. Individual workers isolated outside their nest served as control. SM workers could maintain limited physical contact with their nestmates, while DM workers were exposed to nest volatiles only. When reintroduced into a group of 50 nestmates, the totally isolated workers were treated as alien ants whereas the SM workers were treated as nestmates. Aggression towards DM ants depended on the period of isolation. Only workers isolated for over two months were aggressed by their nestmates, which did not significantly differ from totally isolated nestmates. Cuticular hydrocarbon (HC) profiles did not completely correlate with the behavioural data. Contrary to prediction from the bioassay, the profiles of both SM and DM ants were clearly distinct from that of the non-isolated ants. However, they were also distinct from the isolated ants. This indicates that nest environment affected label-template mismatch through modulating aggressive behaviour, as well as the direction at which cuticular HCs diverged during the separation period. In a second experiment we tested whether alien odour habituation can modulate nestmate recognition. Queenright (QR) and queenless (QL) groups were housed together with or without limited contact and odour flow between the groups. Both QR and QL resident ants were equally aggressive towards alien ants with which they had no prior contact. However, when limited contact and odour flow were possible, QR, but not the QL workers showed highly elevated aggression, compared to the non-contact ants. We suggest that nest volatiles modulate the ants' aggressive behaviour in a queen-dependent manner, either by affecting their motivation or by affecting nestmate recognition cues. This study demonstrates for the first time that factors other than label-template mismatch affects nestmate recognition, and directs attention to nest-volatiles as possible modulators.

Broward Chief Judge Speaks Out Amid DUI Controversy
Amid the DUI arrests of three judges, Broward County's chief judge trys to restore faith.
Judge Peter Weinstein releases a statement to reassure the public following the May 27th DUI arrest of circuit judge Lynn Rosenthal.
"I want to assure the people of Broward County that the judges serving you are hardworking, conscientious, and do not condone in any fashion any sort of impairment or substance abuse the would prevent their handling of each case that comes before them with upmost care, consideration, and attention that every case deserves," said Weinstein.
Judge Gisele Pollack was already charged for DUI earlier in May and circuit judge Cynthia Imperato was arrested for driving drunk in Boca in November.
Weinstein says that Broward judges responsibly handle their jobs.
"We recognize that judges make serious decisions affecting people's lives each day they are in court and that with that weighty responsibility comes a duty to be fully accountable," said Weinstein.
Pollack was previously on leave from the bench and the other two judges have already been reassigned off of criminal cases.

Four foot fence would make me very nervous but...if your dog is properly trained, and you avoid dog parks and "I though my dog was friendly encounters" that will greatly mitigate her picking up behaviour issues to begin with more here:
And as long as you "never" allow her to go over the fence with a good bond between your dog and you she should be quite content to stay in her yard.
GSD-proofing yard (potentially)
Hi all,
We are in the process of *hopefully* being approved for a rental house (vs. the rental apartment we have been in for the last several years). The house has a big yard that is fenced in, but it's a privacy fence on three sides and a ~4 ft chain-link on the other.
Anyway, eventually I'd like to have the option to occasionally let her out with minimal supervision (right now all her potty breaks are on-leash walks since we live in an apartment). What has worked well for you all? I was thinking my options would be...
1) Offer to do the manual labor to build a privacy fence all the way around (add value to the rental/re-sale price for the owner + ask for $$ off rent in exchange for labor)
2) Buy & install a dog run, maybe 10x5 and 6 feet high?
Again she will be supervised -- this will just be for occasional use, like if I am running late but want to give her a second chance to potty before I go to work, etc. She's always done well having free run of the apartment so we will let her roam the house (IF we get it) and she'll still get her normal exercise.
Thanks for any input!

Dental implant treatment has become an accepted standard in dentistry today. In addition, patients are often well informed and seek specific treatment options. Consequently, patients not only expect a reliable and predictable replacement of missing teeth with dental implants, they are also interested in optimal solutions to suit their individual needs.
In dentistry today, ceramic materials are widely accepted in prosthetic reconstruction. Contrary to this, implants made from Zirconium-dioxide are not yet part of the standard treatment but can be an attractive alternative to titanium. Daniel Thoma will give deep insight into the current status of dental ceramic in prosthetics and implant therapy.
Fully edentulous patients who require reconstruction are often suffering from resorbed ridges. In these situations the placement of dental implants can be challenging, expensive and may also require additional invasive augmentation procedures. As a result, patients require a restorative treatment option that is both cost effective and reliable.
Some patients accept implant treatment only if it can be done with the least possible surgical intervention. Reduced diameter implants may help to avoid the need for bone augmentation and a new and unique implant material enables this option further. In his presentation, Stephen Chen will summarize the scientific evidence with TiZr implants, while also highlighting the possibilities in clinical practice.

I didn't have my tails done, so idk how much he'd charge. But he did an excellent job on my windows and visor strip for $200. He also did my fathers '96 vette strip & re-tint, my father-in-laws '02 vette, my wifes outback, and a few of my friends tints.. They all came out perfect. I'm sure he would have no problem with tail lights. Hempstead is kind of a hike for a tint shop, I'm sure you can find someone more local. But if you'd like, I'll shoot you his info.

replacing a major pipe
I have a pipe that runs from the flat roof on my old house ( acts as a rain water pipe from the roof) through three floors and connects to the sewer pipe under the basment floor. It is completely behind walls through all three stories of the house, however there are small access panels near it on all three floors. The kitchen sinks on the second and third floors are also connected to this central, vertical pipe. It now has developed a snaking, hairline crack above the basement ceiling but below the floor in the first floor apartment. The water from the rain (and the sinks) now leaks out and collects behind the wall in the basement where the pipe goes into the ground creating pooling water and making the sheetrock wet and moldy. I have tried various devices to soak up the water and some plumber's putty on the crack itself but I fear the solution is to replace the pipe,either a section of it or the whole thing from roof to ground. Is this as big a job as I fear, or I am letting worry run wild? can you advise? thanks
We are going to need pictures of this one----you are describing a main stack vent--that is being used improperly to drain a flat roof--I think?--
Is the pipe cast iron or PVC?
More info needed-----Mike---
Where are you located ?
In most areas its illegal to dump rainwater into the sewer pipe
Fines can be $1500 or more
Legal or not, you'll need to replace the part of the pipe that is cracked. Not easy if cast iron; I think it is plumber time.
The roof drain should be replaced entirely and kept clear of the domestic plumbing!
If the cast iron pipe is cracked in one location, it may be weak or cracked elsewhere, and cause more problems in the future.
In the hospital I work at they have replaced horizontal sections of the cast iron roof drain system with PVC of the same diameter and hubless couplers.
When you say it collects rain water, does it actually collect the rain water, or is it just venting out the roof and allows some rain to get in?
How big is this pipe and what kind of material is it? If it's the main stack and cast iron, you are looking at a decent amount of work here, but you don't mention any toilets flushing to it, so I am hoping that it is just a 1.5" or 2" drain that vents out the roof. If this is the case, it may not be as much work as you think, but you will probably have to touch up on your drywall skills.
Its illegal, they catch it they fine you
And he clearly has stated that other plumbing fixtures DO tie into it
They've had several amnesty programs where they will assist in rerouting these systems
Theres many old apartment and commercial buildings in the omaha area built back in the 20s-30s that still have roof drains tied into city sewers,generally its not a big enforcement issue untill remodeling or other repairs bring the city inspector into the building.
As I said normally no other plumbing fixtures are tied in with the roof drains but it does happen.

Inside The Newly Revamped Corvette Stingray
Chevrolet's new vehicle has a series of updated technologically advanced features.
The 2014 Corvette Stingray has been creating a lot of buzz for its update on the classic car. The vehicle has many new tech features and shares only two of the same auto parts with the previous generation of Corvette. It features an all-new frame structure and chassis, as well as a completely redesigned interior and exterior. General Motors' North America President, Mark Reuss, said:
Like the '63 Sting Ray, the best Corvettes embodied performance leadership, delivering cutting-edge technologies, breathtaking design and awe-inspiring driving experiences. The all-new Corvette goes farther than ever, thanks to today's advancements in design, technology and engineering.
The new Stingray features dual 8-inch infotainment screens, a five-position Drive Mode Selector that tailors 12 vehicle attributes to the fit the driver's environment, and a seven-speed manual transmission with Active Rev Matching that anticipates gear selections and matches engine speed.
The all-new 6.2L LT1 V-8 engine includes direct injection, Active Fuel Management, continuously variable valve timing, and an advanced combustion system that delivers more power while using less fuel. The vehicle's aerodynamic exterior features advanced high-intensity discharge and LED lighting.
Mashable notes that the 2014 Corvette, which goes on sale in the third quarter of this year, also has a retracting LCD screen on the dashboard that can reveal a hidden space when you press a button. You can keep small objects like a smartphone in there and a USB port lets you charge it up while it's inside.
