Work on plumbing by homeowner determined as cause of fire; $65,000 damage
Seattle Fire Department's Kyle Moore has released the cause of the fire on Oct. 22 at 9057 21st Ave. SW.:
"A Seattle Fire Investigator determined a fire that caused $65,000 in damage at a West Seattle home last night was accidental. The occupant of the home was working on plumbing when the heat from the plumbing work ignited the wall and extended into the attic space.
At 10:10 p.m., a call came in the Fire Alarm Center reporting flames coming from the wall of a home in the 9000 block of 21st Avenue SW. Engine Company 11 arrived to find smoke coming from the roof of the two-story home. The firefighters used an attack hose line to knock down the flames while the first in Ladder Company searched the residence for occupants and then headed to the roof to cut holes in order to vent the smoke and heat.
Firefighters discovered the fire inside the walls of the home. The flames extended up the walls into the attic. Crews removed two walls and brought down ceilings in order to completely extinguish the flames. It took approximately 30 minutes to completely knock down this fire.
There occupants safely evacuated the home and there were no reported injuries.
The damage estimate is $65,000 to the structure and $5,000 to the contents.

- Buying a home in London's Zone 3: Tottenham Hale and Stratford top new list of 20 best-value areas
- Where to buy in Zone 4: the best-value areas that are still tipped for house price growth
While a Zone 1 home typically costs £1.5 million, Zone 2 homes are priced at £723,000 on average. But many Zone 2 areas have average prices that are much lower — between £300,000 and £400,000.
"Some areas are significantly under-valued given the quick commute to the centre — they are an easy commute with a lot of price growth," says Jennet Siebrits, head of residential research at property consultant CBRE.

Best for transport: New cross
New Cross in south-east London is the cheapest Zone 2 address, with an average price of £317,000. This is despite the area's excellent rail connections — it takes six minutes to London Bridge, an Overground service, plus one stop to the Jubilee line interchange at Canada Water.
Once a Victorian village at the end of the tram line out of central London, the legacy of period architecture remains. There is a fire station, a town hall, landmark pubs and the splendid home of Hatcham Liberal Club, which has now been converted into flats.
Goldsmiths College, where Damien Hirst studied fine art, provides a student scene, while the cosmopolitan mix is wider than ever. Young singles and couples are moving in and families are putting down roots. New Cross has swathes of affordable Victorian housing, including Telegraph Hill conservation area, perched at the top of a slope with wide tree-lined roads, great views, two parks and Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School, one of the most over-subscribed in London.
New Cross resident Louise Eversley, a tax specialist working in the City, says the area has taken a long time to change and has reached the stage where people want to live there, rather than needing to because it is cheap.
"It's still scruffy, but it is smarten- ing up and attracting cross-river movers from the north bank," she adds. Spark, in New Cross Road, has flats priced from £290,000, with shared-ownership options available. Call Hyde New Homes on 0845 606 1221.
Not all good-value Zone 2 areas are quite as gritty. Some, such as Kennington — close to the river in Lambeth and where the average property price is £500,285 — have garden squares. Check out West Square and the enclave behind the Imperial War Museum.
St Agnes Place is a new addition to the area's compact network of Georgian and Victorian terraces. The 43-home scheme opposite Kennington Park has period-style four-storey townhouses priced from £1.3 million. Flats, some shared-ownership, will be launched later this year. Call L&Q on 0844 406 9000.
Best for value: Bethnal Green, Hackney Wick, Whitechapel, Stepney Green and Mile End
Bethnal Green
Bethnal Green tops CBRE's list of best value-for-money areas. At £430,000, prices are 40 per cent cheaper than the Zone 2 average, while travelling time to the main employment centres is just eight minutes. Coming soon is The Rex, a sensitive redevelopment of the classic Art Deco former cinema in Bethnal Green Road that was one of the first in the UK to show talking pictures.
The conversion into 21 flats is the creation of Maxwell Hutchinson, a former Royal Institute of British Architects president. To register, call 020 8874 1565.
Three-bedroom apartments with winter gardens offering impressive views are for sale at The City Mills in E2. Prices from £795,000. Call 0844 4069289.
Whitechapel, Stepney Green and Mile End
A similar case can be made for Whitechapel, Stepney Green and Mile End, which are up to 55 per cent cheaper than the Zone 2 average. Camden Town, about the same commute time, is twice the price.
Hackney Wick
Hackney Wick is another rising star. The area butts up against Stratford's sporting and leisure amenities and is also close to gentrified Victoria Park.
The redevelopment of an Anglican church, The Mission has brought 25 new homes, including a spectacular triplex apartment in the listed tower. Offers of more than £1 million. Call Fyfe Mcdade for more information on 020 7613 4044.
Best for potential: Holloway, Caledonian Road, Finsbury Park
Good-value pockets of north London include Holloway, Caledonian Road and Finsbury Park, where prices are up to 25 per cent lower than the Zone 2 average.
Four Hundred Caledonian Road is an imaginative redevelopment of a factory workshop and stable block into a courtyard scheme of 23 low-energy homes plus office studios. The project is the first in London to receive a prestigious Building for Life rating, a government-backed assessment that seeks to improve the quality of homes and amenities at new developments. Two-bedroom flats are priced from £635,000. Call Currell on 020 7226 6611.
Also check out XY Apartments, a collection of 273 sleek, Scandi-style homes on the former Maiden Lane estate. Call 020 7299 3091.
The Park Collection is the latest phase of homes at Woodberry Down, a new 64-acre housing estate being rebuilt and regenerated alongside Finsbury Park's giant reservoirs. It is a surprising waterfront setting for such an urban area — postcode N4 — with a nature reserve and landscaping. Prices start at £365,000. Call Berkeley Homes on 020 8985 9918.
What all these evolving areas have in common is the potential to benefit even more from the inexorable movement of people, businesses, development and infrastructure projects rippling out from central London.

More Troopships
|Thread Tools
Troopships; the very designation evokes unthinkable thoughts. By 1950, enough random talk got around re the sinking of the 'Lancastria' and a host of other unnamed losses. So when I boarded the H.M.Troopship 'Dilwara' at Southampton middle January 1951, I was not unduly perturbed, except that the Korean War was beginning to get nasty, thus the 'DILWARA' was well packed with servicemen en route for the middle and far East and Japan. Besides, had I not worked on the loading documentation process of similar B.I. vessels at 21 Shed Royal Albert Dock, so she was familiar company. Unlike some servicement, who never having been near a ship before, were upon embarkation, all aglow, like young lads after their their first alcholic pint.
The ship left Sothampton. The weather was atrocious. A troopship is nothing more than a floating overcrowed barracks. It has its own military C.O. At 2200hrs the tannoy blurts out the Evening Hymn and Last Post. You get you head down and before you know where you are the same tannoy system is blaring out 'Reveille' followed by the stirring strains of the Sousa March 'Hands Across the Sea' (will I ever forget those strains). You wake, and you are immediatley conscious of the massed converted holds filled with scantilly constructed bunks, seemingly, as far as the eye could see, but more than this, the marked movement, up and down, side to side under what was an heavy swell.
What's all this leading up to; well in the follow up post I am looking into the highly probable liklihood that the H.M.Troopship 'Dilwara', upon hitting violent weather in the Bay of Biscay, was almost at the point capsizing under the intense pressure of a violent storm. Part 2 to follow:-
2nd Part.
I remember the 'Dilwara' passing the Ushant lights, the seas being quite reasonable. But later that evening, the ship ran into heavy seas; sea-sickness was now getting rife. Some concern was being shown by a member of the crew. "It's getting a little rough, the ship has just had a new messdeck fitted and it seems this has made her a little more unstable in a running sea. Fatty streaky bacon for breakfast in the morning lads".
The evening developed into the early hours and the ship was being tossed in a violent storm over a violent sea. Deep in those converted holds, servicemen were feeling too sea-sick to sleep and too ill to to worry about anything, even their own safety. You feel as though you want to die so "what the heck!" was the general feeling. In spite of this, they were clinging to the structures of their bunks as the sides of the hold were almost forced horizontal by the extreme rolling of the ship. Loose kitbags, equipment; even mess-tins were seemingly up there in the air one moment and falling down on the bunks and gangways, as the ship almost completed a 45 degree fall to the other side.
Whilst the heavy seas were running high up at least to Gibralter, there was no repitition of dreadful experience. It was the following day that it was announced over the Tannoy system, by the ship's Captain, that on three occasions the ship 'was in difficulties' but had safely ridden out the heavy storm. The general view, at the time, was that the H.M.T 'Dilwara' was in rather more serious peril and there were rumours that signal traffic had suggested that this was the case. The next morning it was reported that a Royal Navy destroyer was in near-by attendance to the ship.
I have often wondered if anyone who shared that experience is still around.
Was that particular problem in the Bay of Biscay ever documented anywhere.
It has aways been my opinion that it was something of a near-thing; this view was, at the time, shared by my fellow servicemen and by crew members and lascar seamen, who said that "they were more than a little worried".
One must always be concerned where a Troopship in involved. I am not aware how many souls were aboard that vessel but it is logical to assess the figure as being some 2000-3000 servicemen and crew. Mostly young 18-19 years old National Service personnel, some bound for Korea.
In later years, I saw this fine ship moored at 21 Shed, Royal Albert Dock.
I just stood and looked at her. "Incredible" I said to myself, without really knowing why I used that term.
Welcome Ward to the site.It looks as if you can tell a good descriptive story, any more to come. Nearly felt sea sick myself.
I have split your troopship postings into a separate thread as it deserves its own place in the correct forum.
Can I also draw your attention to an earlier thread started some time back by Billyboy - http://www.shipsnostalgia.com/showthread.php?t=2228
More Troopships
Being new to the forum, I am still finding my way around. Had I known of Billyboys Thread ' Troopships' then I would have most certainly posted my contribution there. Perhaps my post should be re-posted there as Billyboys Thread contains so much vital information on the subject of Troopships.
Having been alongside ships most of my life and having had family on such wartime R.N. ship as H.M.S. Dunnottor Castle, (AMC) H.M.S 'Shropshire' (Prior to transfer to R.A.N), H.M.S.Bellona (Cruiser-Russian convoys), my perception of ships was perhaps a little more acute than others around me on that voyage. As such, the experience has lived with me. I have always felt the need to 'tell', and this wonderful site is where the story should be related.
As for the rest of the voyage, this made up for Biscay experience. As the age group who were old enough to read and hear about the Western Desert Campaign, and who had dodged Bombs, V1's. V2 Rockets, it was something to see, with our own eyes, the Rock of Gibralter, the outline of the Atlas Mountains, Tripoli (from an off shore position, and the most impressive of all, Tobruk. The 'Dilwara' stood off-shore admidst the many wrecked, bombed ships lying around and outside the harbour. We watched as flat-boats carried Mauritius Pioneer Corps Troops from the ship to the shore. These images stay in the mind.
And then, the 'Dilwara' was saving one further surprise for me. We were moored at Port Said, having entered port at night. Early next morning we were up on deck. A ship was just leaving the Port cofines and entering the Med. The ships name was clearly visible. It was the 'PORT HUON'. by a strange coincidence the last ship I worked with prior to my leaving the Port of London to commence my National Service. Such strange coincidences always seem to happen to me!
Saw many ships, troopships, and others passing through the Suez Canal. But never will I forget those French Troopships passing through on their way to
Indo China. Never saw any make the return trip! They were packed from stem to stern with bodies in uniform. No noise, no waving no nothing. It seems that those poor guys knew what was in front of them and of course, Dien Bien Phu was awaiting them. Very sad images. As I said at the beginning of this post 'Troopships; the very designation evokes very deep thoughts.

I remember when my children were younger and got frightened during thunder storms, I used to tell them that the house we were in had stood there for fifty years and never been struck by lightening, so why should it be hit now? I suppose something similar could be said about ships. Not much comfort when you are in the middle of a rough one,but the ship must have experienced similar such weather in the past and survived.
One point in your estimate about the passenger numbers. A more realistic figure would be nearer 1500 aboard ship in total. Those ships normally carried betwen 800 and 1000 troops on the troop decks with a further 300 Officers, SNCOs, and families in cabin accomodation. With ships company a total of 1500, give or take 100 would be nearer the mark.
I belive HMT L11 is The Dilwara
and in this photo in the Australian War Memorial Is the Captain of the ship
H A Moore I have been searching for 4 years information about the captain
as he was captain of SS Duchess of Atholl when torpedoed 10/10/1942
my father was onboard at the time
and from the ships list
was a 11,080 gross ton ship, length 516.9ft x beam 63ft, one funnel, two masts, twin screw and a speed of 14 knots. Accommodation for 104-1st, 100-2nd class and 1,157 troops. Built by Barclay, Curle & Co, Glasgow, she was launched as a permanent troopship for British India Steam Nav.Co on 17th Oct.1935. She took part in King George VI's Coronation Review and then trooped mainly to South Africa and Suez. In April 1941 she took part in the evacuation from Greece, and in 1942 was converted to an infantry landing ship. She was involved in the Madagascar landings, and in 1943 took part in assaults on the Burma coast where she was damaged by a mine. She trooped between Singapore - Calcutta - Andaman Islands, and Siam - Penang in 1945. Rebuilt to 12,555 tons in 1949-50 and hammocks replaced by bunks, she could then carry 125-1st, 96-2nd, 104-3rd class passengers and 790 troops. She took part in the Suez Canal landings in Aug.1956 and in Nov.1960 was bought by the China Navigation Co and renamed KUALA LUMPUR. Refitted, she was used as a pilgrim ship to Jeddah and was eventually scrapped at Taiwan in 1971. [Merchant Fleets by Duncan Haws, vol.11, British India S.N.Co.]

I went to Hong Kong on the Dilwara as a babe in arms. Came back on her when I was about three years old. I come from an Airforce family. Any idea how long the journey would have taken? That was 1950 - 53 ish.
When I was a cadet I sailed on the training ship Empire State IV, which had originally been built in 1942 as the U.S. Army troop ship Henry Gibbons. On one occasion, in Antwerp, we invited the public on board and I was amongst those delegated to conduct guided tours. I vividly recall one very interested German tourist who finally remarked, "During the war I used to sink these things in my U-boat!"

These are the 16 best they could find?
The quality of opponents this season is a joke. Except for maybe 4 guys, the rest are horrible. I'd even go out on a limb here and say I could kick Bowmans ass and I don't even train!
Are you telling me outa all the people in the US, this is the best 16 you could come up with? People with 0-0 records? WHAT?!
We have yet to see one even half way close match. They've been very one sided. It's blantantly obvious that over half of these dudes were chosen for pure camera entertainment value.
Just had to get that off my chest.
The best 16 that are unsigned perhaps.
there are good fighters
Mac Danzig
George Sotiropolous
Tommy Speer
Matt Arroyo
Ben Saunders
TUF should go on 2-year hiatus and let the unsigned talent pool replenish. I feel that they're somewhat scraping the bottom of the barrel. Yeah there's always a chance of hitting a jackpot and finding raw/potential talents, but the overall quality of the future batches of TUFers as whole won't be as good.
Half of these guys make me want to fly out to Vegas next time they have a LW audition and try out, it's getting ridiculous.
Not sure if anyone listens to the Jordan Breen show, but he listed off about 30 LWs who are either unsigned or with smaller organizations (which usually aren't exclusive) that could be on the show instead of most of the guys they have.
[QUOTE=xAmRiT]there are good fighters
really? i thought he was horrible, he looked scared to get hit IMO.
What the **** ever. How were they supposed to know that Dorian Price, with over 10 years Mui Thai kickboxing practice, would suck? How would they know Serras boy Joey Scarola would suck? How would they know that J-Rock, Miles, and several others would just get their asses handed to them? the ONLY person I can see being a joke is Bowman (And I COULD beat his ass) everyone else seems like they have potential.

Why Apple Had To Do Maps: A Mobile Engagement Analysis
Posted by Ted Schadler on September 21, 2012
- 731 Recommendations
- 3 comments
I was pretty sure that the v1 (beta?) Apple Maps would have gaps and gaffs, and of course it does. Mapping is hard to do as this excellent analysis from Adrian Covert at Gizmodo makes clear. (If Apple had it to do over again, it might have pushed harder to keep the Google Map app in place while Apple launched a beta map alongside it. Maybe it still can.)
But Apple had to do maps. It had no choice, really. The reason is simple: maps are the place where mobile matters most. Here's the logic:
- First, maps are where the physical context of our daily lives and reality intersects the digital intelligence we access online. It is precisely because maps are where the physical best intersects the digital that Apple had to offer maps. Maps are extremely valuable to customers, hence to Apple. It couldn't outsource it to Google forever if it wanted to develop a unique mobile engagment experience to customers. For that matter, Microsoft has to do (and is doing) exactly the same. It's also why Nokia purchased NAVTEQ in 2008 for $8.1 billion.
- Second, developers are finding fabulous ways to exploit maps in their applications. Overlaying just about anything on a map makes the map more valuable. Shoppers benefit. Cyclists benefit. City planners benefit. Even the military benefits. Anybody dealing with physical locations needs maps in their app. And that means great APIs to access the map, a way to put layers over the map to show important things, and a way to crowdsource new information. Flickr's photos on maps in a great way to explore a vacation spot before getting on an airplane. All because of great map apps.
- Lastly, maps start with roads and locations and transit, but they quickly fractal inside building to wings and rooms and aisles. Pointing someone to a Wal-Mart store is one thing. Walking them down the aisle to the product of their choice is a whole better thing. But both rely on the same mapping APIs.
So Apple has a lot of hard work to do to get this beta product to v1 and beyond. And Apple customers will suffer some in the meantime. But for Apple to focus on making its ecosystem of developers and apps uniquely valuable, it had to own maps. Just as it will ultimately have to own identity (AppleID), voice control (Siri), wallets (Passbook), and probably a whole bunch of other core engagement services. Which services do you think Apple must own?
Maps and mobile wallets
Comment from JP Gownder on Fri, 09/21/2012 - 12:30
Of all the engagement services, I think mobile wallets might matter the most vis-a-vis maps. If your iPhone becomes your mobile payment mechanism, then integration with maps grows more critical: Promotions (coupons, other special deals) can be integrated into the map, creating the opportunity for richly realized location-based mobile commerce (and, hence, payments when you get to those locations). So I would say that Apple is looking a few years ahead and seeing Google differentiate Android with a better mobile wallet offering based on maps. Strategically, it makes sense. That said, Apple should have launched a far better initial maps experience.
Wallet will need maps to really be interesting
Comment from Ted Schadler on Mon, 09/24/2012 - 11:58
I agree with that!

But yeah, I think what he showed in the video is quite good. The WAY he showed it could have used some improvement. You know, showing more enthusiasm, explaining how awesome he is, what invaluable experiences he has, and gaining nostalgic bonusses by showing clips from highlights of the old games he did.

Hoggard puts brakes on West Indies
Page Tools
Manchester: Matthew Hoggard took two wickets for two runs in four balls to stem a West Indies fightback on the first day of the third Test against England at Old Trafford on Thursday.
The West Indies were 6-275 when bad light and then heavy rain forced an early close after Yorkshire quick Hoggard removed top scorers Dwayne Bravo, out for a Test-best 77, and Shivnarine Chanderpaul (76).
The duo had put on 157 as the West Indies recovered from 4-108 after their captain Brian Lara won the toss.
Lara, still seven runs short of becoming only the fourth batsman to 10,000 Test runs, said there was still plenty to play for.
"It's pretty even. Chanderpaul and Bravo batted pretty well. If we can get to 325 plus it will be a very good effort."
Lara came to the crease in sight of becoming the batsman to score the fastest 10,000 Test runs, with India's Sunil Gavaskar and the Australian duo of Allan Border and Steve Waugh the only others to reach the mark.
But Andrew Flintoff responded by bowling Lara behind his legs with a leg-stump yorker for a five-ball duck as England looked to extend their 2-0 lead in the four-match series.
Meanwhile, in Colombo, Sri Lanka coach John Dyson backed his spinners to win the second and final Test against South Africa at the Sinhalese Sports Club.
"It is sad that [Muttiah] Muralitharan is not playing, but surely the others can make up for him," said Dyson.
Muralitharan missed the match with a shoulder injury.
South Africa were 3-116 in reply to the home side's 470 at the close as Sanath Jayasuriya struck twice late in the day. Sri Lanka are looking to win their first Test series against South Africa after the first Test ended in a draw last week.

Guys I need some help. My grandfather just recently passed away and my mother found an old gun in his house in which she passed on to me. I am not sure what kind of gun it is. Need some help. Here is the info.
The gun is a twelve gauge side by side double barrell with the name Wards Triumph model 52 on it. Who made this gun, how old is it, and what might it be worth. I also found a bunch of boxes of shells that are the paper shells instead of the plastic. Are they worth anything. Thanks for the help.

Please contact Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn to object to his recent decision to sign an infrastructure improvement bill" which allocates $40 million or more to religious organizations. The bill allots $31 billion to statewide infrastructure improvement projects but also uses taxpayer dollars to fund at least 97 religious groups in Illinois.
Despite severe budget deficits in social service programs throughout the country, Illinois' political leadership has decided to squander taxpayer dollars to promote the advancement and financial security of religious organizations. This irresponsible and unabashed decision crosses the constitutionally-defined boundary between church and state. Among the most offensive grants are $50,000 for a housing project by the Lawndale Christian Development Project, $100,000 each for renovations at three Catholic schools, $250,000 for renovations at Friendship House of Christian Service, $700,000 for capital improvements at St. Malachy School (though the bill fails to specify which St. Malachy school), $150,000 for a Jewish Community of Chicago religious summer camp in Wisconsin Dells and $75,000 for library improvements at the Chicago Bible Institute. The bill language barely restricts the use of the funds, which leaves the churches and other religious organizations power to use the money as they choose.
Possible talking points include: the process of selecting which religious groups receive money seems altogether arbitrary and favors certain religions, particularly Christianity and more particularly Catholicism; the unclear and unspecific bill language allows these groups to use the funds for almost any purpose, including promoting their religion; violates the Constitutional mandate that government "shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"; makes no sense in normal financial times but is especially fiscally irresponsible during a recession; this money could have and should have instead been used to revitalize the crippled public (and secular) social services sector; and this bill unfairly uses taxpayer dollars to promote religion, offending and excluding growing numbers of nonbelieving Americans.

You could turn on "The X Factor" any Thursday this fall and see Indiana's Zach Beeken, whose country-singing group Restless Road soared to popularity as it continued to advance through round after round of voting.
Restless Road survived 10 weeks on the singing competition on Fox, all the way to the semifinals before being voted off the show earlier this month.
The group was seen by millions of people each week, and they've had a No. 1 hit in the country genre on iTunes with "Wake Me Up."
And along the way, Beeken had a loyal following at weekly watch parties as his group moved on through the competition.
The son of Ryan and Jennifer Beeken, of Indiana, he graduated from Indiana Area Senior High School in May.
But just because the group was voted off the show doesn't mean it's the end of the road for Restless Road. Beeken said earlier this month he expects the group to get a recording contract.
"We're going to keep going with it. … We've written a couple of songs together and, whether we get signed or not, we're going to still take charge and try to make it happen."
While Beeken certainly garnered national attention with his appearances on the show, there were a few more current and former Indiana Countians who appeared on national TV this year, too.
In March, David Eldridge, of Blairsville, along with business partners Mike Kane and David Artuso, of Westmoreland County, pitched their invention, Cellhelmet, on the ABC primetime reality show "Shark Tank." The product is designed to help your smartphone survive a fall. In fact, they guaranteed it will.
The men got a chance to show off the Cellhelmet in front of business-savvy millionaires Mark Cuban, Daymond John, Lori Greiner, Kevin O'Leary and Robert Hershbeck, who grilled Eldridge's partners on their claim and business model. In the end, none of the "sharks" bit on the idea.
Nonetheless, Eldridge said he was happy with the attention: "I'm excited by the idea that we just exposed our brand to 7 million-plus viewers," he said.
For Lucernemines native Christopher Catalano, the price was almost right on "The Price Is Right."
Catalano — who said he's been a lifelong fan of the show — made it all the way to the Showcase Showdown on the long-running daytime CBS game show in an episode that aired in April. But he was outbid by his opponent, losing his chance to win a trip to France, an expensive watch and other prizes.
He did come away with several prizes for making his way off Contestants' Row, and meeting host Drew Carey was a thrill, he said.
Catalano, who now lives in Philadelphia, is the son of Karen and Dennis Catalano, of Lucernemines.
An Indiana native and his partners in the operation of a popular North Carolina barbecue restaurant appeared on "BBQ Pitmasters" on Destination America last summer.
Robert Moreau, a co-owner of Bibs Downtown in Winston-Salem, competed for bragging rights as America's best barbecue restaurant. While they made it through the first round of the competition on a program that aired in June, they didn't advance on the episode that aired in early August.
Amber Holmes, originally from Indiana, opened up her Paris home to viewers of HGTV's "House Hunters International" in an episode that aired in June.
Holmes, who graduated from Indiana High School in 2002 and Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2006, moved to Paris a year or so ago to become a fashion designer. That's after stints as an investment adviser at AXA Advisors, Fidelity Investments and J.P. Morgan in New York City.
The show followed Holmes' transition from her ritzy lifestyle on the Upper East Side of New York to life in the capital of France, said Holmes. She is the daughter of Brenda and Tom Holmes, who still live in Indiana.
Harold and Kris Eisenberger, of White Township, showed off their massive collection of more than 3,000 Santa Clauses on an edition of TLC's "My Christmas Obsession: Christmas Collection 2" earlier this month.
What started as a modest collection of about a tenth of its current size has grown over the years to fill about 60 large plastic tubs that the couple stores in their basement for most of the year. Setup usually starts around Halloween, Harold Eisenberger said.
With filming in April, the Eisenbergers had to push aside their collection of 500 Easter bunnies to instead festoon their North Sixth Street house with Christmas decor in the middle of spring. Sound equipment used for shooting was so sensitive, he said, the film crew had to ask neighbors to refrain from mowing their lawn.
All of that Santa paraphernalia again fills every nook and cranny of their home for the holidays.

By Joe Saunders, Special for USA TODAY
Editor's note: Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Joe Saunders will document the weeks leading up to opening day in an online diary for USA TODAY. Saunders, an All-Star in 2008, has a career 57-39 record. He helped lead the Los Angeles Angels to three consecutive postseason appearances (2007-09) before being traded to Arizona in 2010.
Let me get this out of the way first.
The Virginia Tech men's basketball team got dogged again by the NCAA selection committee. They never get any love from them this time of year. This is ridiculous.
Tech beat former No. 1 Duke and beat Florida State and made it to the semifinals in the ACC tournament ... but still nothing. Can you tell I'm a little heated? That's my rant for the week.
Last week was a tough one for me. My family was sick and lo and behold I got sick too. I ended up missing my scheduled start on Friday against the Los Angeles Angels because I was in rough shape. I wanted to pitch against my former teammates but didn't have a choice.
I'll make up for missed time with a bullpen session this week and should be back on the mound sometime by the end of the week. It's getting closer to opening day, so I'm ready to get back on the mound.
One of the biggest problems I have when I get sick is that I tend to lose weight. I worked hard this offseason to gain a few more pounds before camp opened but lost a lot of it last week. And I enjoy eating, but I guess I'm blessed with a quick metabolism, so it's hard for me to put on the pounds.
March 8: Saunders takes the mound against his former team
Feb. 28: Relishing a big Hokies win and spring games
Feb. 21: Trying to play gracious host at home, in clubhouse
Feb. 15: A new ballgame for D-backs' Joe Saunders
My teammates used to bug me about that. Figgy (Chone Figgins) and Howie (Kendrick) used to always crack jokes about how much I ate. But seriously I had too because it was a struggle to keep weight during the season.
One of the best things about the Diamondbacks and the new facility is the food. I order the most amazing breakfast burrito every morning when I get to the park. In the afternoon, the club puts on a nice spread before the game and another one after. I certainly eat well during the spring. And good food definitely makes the day go by faster.
One of my favorite meals on the road is in New York. When the Angels played the Yankees, I always had the clubbie make me a the best cheesesteak.
With all this talk about food, I'm getting hungry. I'll keep y'all posted on the weight gain.

I was thinking the other days while I was looking at the images of the new Female Mandalorian from The Clone Wars - Season IV, that I can attempt to do this helmet. From the existing images I was able to do this so far:
Not perfect, but OK for a good start. I need to widen the helmet to achieve the proportions from the cartoon character. The side and the back part of the helmet might be the same as of Death Watch's helmet (without the rangefinder) and in lack of other reference images I will stick to what we have so far.
What you say?
Just finished the helmet, but the result is not too good. For a prototype is OK and this is proof that this helmet can be done and after more image will surface the bulding process will be easy. I used what I found in my office to paint the helmet: a blue ball-pen and some correction fluid:

|Mild to Medium
A very nice comfort blend or for the occasional coffee break type of smoke. Drier than most but behaves well and doesn't overheat unless pushed. The logo reminds one of the 18th Century, as does the tin note. Looking forward to trying Vengeur Silver next. I have noticed in other reviews Rowland is being used for RYO. The tin states for pipe use only. So Rowland is not a pipe cut mixture/interchangeable, unless you are willing shred down to a finer cut. This might explain why people are having problems with filling their cigarette tubes or using rolling paper and being turned off by the flavor. Although Platinum has a very nice room note. Smoked properly it is very rewarding.

Reviewing as RYO or MYO tobacco. Very moist, chunky pipe cut, difficult to inject. Mine required extensive drying, does not seem to effect the flavor. For RYO tobacco, has a very heavy topping. Research says cocoa. I get more of a fruit type smell and taste, I guess plum/prune like. Research often likens to Marlboro in taste, I think not at all. Long but not unpleasant fruity aftertaste. For me, more of a pleasant "change of pace" smoke, too fruity for mass consumption. Gets an extra star for balance/body/smoking comfort, I think it's best attribute. Three stars overall.
Edited 5/28/12: Sampled second bag. No way near as much "fruity" bag aroma or taste, just cocoa like this time. Crazy "night and day" difference. Same moisture/cut. Overall, I like this much better, decent flavor/good balance. Dilemma is product consistancy. First bag a weak 3 stars, this bag a strong 3 stars. Second time I have had consistancy/quality problems with D&R flavored blends, must downgrade to 2 stars for this.

Alessandra Ambrosio's Pumpkin Patch Puppy Love
Enjoying the warm California autumn weather, Alessandra Ambrosio treated daughter Anja to a trip to West Hollywood's Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch on Tuesday afternoon (October 23).
The Victoria's Secret model mommy donned gam-baring denim shorts and boots as she walked about the squash-filled grounds with her face painted princess.
Putting her inner animal lover on display, Miss Ambrosio at one point was seen holding a rescue dog named Bubbles who was close to death when One Dog Rescue, a non-profit animal rescue group in Los Angeles, saved her life.
Aside from the pumpkin hunt and puppy love, Alessandra took advantage of the sunny west coast weather by spending time with the kids outside the family abode.
The 31-year-old Brazilian beauty took to Twitter to share a photo from the precious play-date, adding a caption reading, "Perfect day by the pool :)"

Kukla's Korner Hockey
No Need To Move Ovechkin
by Paul on 02/07/13 at 11:23 AM ET
Comments (2)
from Neil Greenberg of the Washington Post,
I get it. The outlook is grim. The Capitals are in last place in the NHL with a 2-7-1 record and will likely miss the playoffs. They have a minus-13 goal differential (worst in league) and have yet to score more than three goals in a game. Their penalty kill is ranked 23rd in the league, which is compounded by the fact they have been shorthanded 47 times (tied for third worst). Faceoffs, once a hallmark of head coach Adam Oates's career, is also floundering at 47.8 percent. But that doesn't mean Alex Ovechkin should no longer be a member of the team.
Sure, his production is nowhere close to what it was when he signed the first $100 million deal in NHL history back in January 2008 — a $124 million, 13-year contract extension that runs through the 2020-21 season — but it still doesn't make getting rid of Ovechkin the right move.
Filed in: NHL Teams, Washington Capitals, | KK Hockey | Permalink
Ovechkin is always double- or triple-covered. It is up to his teammates to either score, or create something where he can get open. It doesn't help that Backstrom is having and off season so far and Semin is gone. Caps are now a one-line team.
Posted by Thag from DC on 02/07/13 at 12:06 PM ET
Not a very good analysis by Bloomberg.
First off, this
For one, the economics of a buyout do not make financial sense. According to CapGeek, when a player is bought out, the team still takes a cap hit for the player over a period of twice the remaining length of the contract. So, using CapGeek's buyout calculator…That means a $3.8 million dollar cap hit on the books until 2028-29. Don't see that as sound fiscal policy.
Is not true. The Capitals would have nothing on their cap ledger if he were to be bought out this summer.
And this:
In theory, any team would love to have him, but who would be willing to give up the value necessary and take on a $9.5 million cap hit for the next eight years?
is a misunderstanding of market forces. The "value" of trading Ovechkin could, at this point, be argued to be the willingness to accept his contract. It's like selling a failing subdivision of a larger business to another company for the assumption of debt. That is something that businesses sometimes do and benefit from.
But to be clear, I'm not taking a stand on whether Washington should or shouldn't do anything with this guy.

Youth Work Ireland works with a number of leading European based youth organisations to create opportunities and collaborative activities for young people. Our work strengthens relationships between young people and youth workers and offers young people the chance for exchange visits and valuable learning opportunities. This work empowers young people and youth organisations to joinly tackle issues that affect all European youth.
Youth Work Ireland has formed a strategic partnership with youth services from across Europe who use music as a tool for supporting the development of young people. These partners include; UK Youth, Youth Cymru (Wales), Samfés (Iceland), Youth Scotland, Lithuanian Children and Youth Centre and Youth Action Northern Ireland, with Youth Work Ireland as the lead partner. The most recent achievement of this partnership has been the successful funding of a KA2
Erasmus + project entitled Youth Work ‐ Music and Cultural Entrepreneurship. The end result of this project is the design of an online toolkit/site on how to use music as a tool for engaging and retaining young people in youth services, as well as creating an online community of other youth services from across Europe that use music. Learn more>>
As part of this collaboration a special edition of Scene Magazine was published which sought to capture the experience of a diverse range of youth organisations and practitioners and to provide ideas about practice that can support Irish youth work practitioners in developing their own practice.
Youth Work Ireland, KDYS, UK Youth, ERICYA (Luxembourg), Norsensus Mediaforum (Norway) & Agenzija Zghazagh (Malta)
This event saw the Governing Body of ERYICA (The European Youth Information and Counselling Agency) meeting in Killarney as part of an enhanced engagement in Ireland. The meeting was organised by KDYS and Youth Work Ireland, and examined a variety of EU wide topics relevant to young people and youth services today.
The main focus of ERYICA is supporting and promoting quality general youth information policy and practice at all levels, a process which KDYS lead on in Kerry and Youth Work Ireland nationally. The meeting and an associated seminar in Dublin worked to further develop critical areas of youth information provision in Ireland and throughout the EU. ERYICA is composed of national bodies (non-governmental or governmental) which seek to guarantee the right of young people to full and reliable information, which helps them make the choices they face in their lives, and which promotes their autonomy and their active participation in a democratic society.
This project aims at identifying, developing and sharing best practice approaches for engaging with, retaining and working with Young Travellers.

Hi there!
I want to list images from nextgen gallery using tags. Which is not a big deal BUT in this case I need images belonging to multiple tags:
pseudo example: get_objects_in_term_intersection(array("141","144"), "ngg_tag");
So I only need objects which belong to BOTH 141 and 144 (or any number of tags passed through the array). Nextgen uses `get_objects_in_term()` from `wp-includes/taxonomy.php` from line 494. I guess I should change the sql query in the function but this is way out of my league.The original function:
function get_objects_in_term( $term_ids, $taxonomies, $args = array() ) { global $wpdb; if ( ! is_array( $term_ids ) ) $term_ids = array( $term_ids ); if ( ! is_array( $taxonomies ) ) $taxonomies = array( $taxonomies ); foreach ( (array) $taxonomies as $taxonomy ) { if ( ! taxonomy_exists( $taxonomy ) ) return new WP_Error( 'invalid_taxonomy', __( 'Invalid taxonomy' ) ); } $defaults = array( 'order' => 'ASC' ); $args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults ); extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP ); $order = ( 'desc' == strtolower( $order ) ) ? 'DESC' : 'ASC'; $term_ids = array_map('intval', $term_ids ); $taxonomies = "'" . implode( "', '", $taxonomies ) . "'"; $term_ids = "'" . implode( "', '", $term_ids ) . "'"; $object_ids = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT tr.object_id FROM $wpdb->term_relationships AS tr INNER JOIN $wpdb->term_taxonomy AS tt ON tr.term_taxonomy_id = tt.term_taxonomy_id WHERE tt.taxonomy IN ($taxonomies) AND tt.term_id IN ($term_ids) ORDER BY tr.object_id $order"); if ( ! $object_ids ) return array(); return $object_ids; }
Thnx in advance!
Thanx for the reply!
Your analogy is rather funky but the attribute approach is what I need Then I guess I can display the attribute on front`s list view instead of the original price. Thnx Again!
Hi there!
I`m setting up a Magento shop for a floorcovering retailer. I need to display product prices based on square meter but selling them in box which contains various amounts of boards. for example one box is 2.75m2. So when you increase quantity in the cart is actualy in 'boxes/cartons'.
A similar example can be found here: ukflooringdirect.co.uk
Questions: - Is this possible to achive 'out of the box' ? - If not, is there a (RELIABLE) plugin for that ?
If anybody has the interest helping me out or showing me the right direction, wheter for free or for money please contact me or drop an answer here.

Book of dark China jokes tickles readers in Taiwan
By Ralph Jennings
TAIPEI (Reuters Life!) - Chinese officials have it hard because they drink themselves nearly to death. Soldiers earn so little they can't even afford to beat their wives. Natural disasters help control China's population growth.
A book of these dark jokes and more about contemporary China is stirring laughter in Taiwan, which shares a language with China but lacks Beijing's censorship rules and regards the butt of this humor as a long-time political rival.
The book, which goes by the English title "China Jokes and Behaves," carries quips on corruption, leadership largesse, environmental degradation and a host of social problems, from lazy students to marital infidelity. Some jokes read like classic Chinese poems; others are short dialogues.
Taiwan-born author Huang Wen-hsiung gathered 200 pages worth of jokes from ordinary Chinese citizens who often circulate them at parties, via mobile phone text messages or the Internet.
The jokes are seldom published in the Chinese media, which is controlled by the government.
"Once in a while a newspaper or magazine will publish a couple pages of jokes, but they get into trouble fast," said Zhang Zuhua, a Beijing-based political author. "Jokes are a type of information and should be freely circulated, but I don't know whether readers in Taiwan will find them funny."
Yushan Publishing, which released the book in late August, has so far printed 2,000 copies of the book in Taiwan and received orders for more. Hong Kong bookstores have ordered an additional 200 copies, supervisor Wei Shu-chuan said.
"Taiwan and China are very close, and Taiwanese understand the other side's political situation," she added. Continued...

Robert Jobe Jr. is a retired lineman for Southwest Central Rural Electric and a former union steward of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers who is completing his first four-year term on council. In the spring he won a Republican nomination for re-election.
"I think I've done some good" on council the past four years, Jobe said. "I would like to see we keep the taxes down in the borough. There are a lot of people in the borough on fixed incomes. They live from payday to payday, or from pension check to pension check. There are a lot of people really hurting. They can't afford to have high taxes."
Jobe is assigned to council's Public Safety Committee and sometimes attends other committee meetings and as many as four council sessions a month.
"You like to know what's going on in the other committees," he said.
In his first election campaign in 2009, Jobe said he was running for council because he felt the borough needed to be more conservative in its spending.
"I think they're watching it a little better," he said recently. "I think things are going pretty good" generally in the borough.
Jobe was one of eight council members who voted in July to repeal the borough's traditional neighborhood development overlay zone ordinance. It was created to encourage developers to build high-density student housing complexes near the Indiana University of Pennsylvania campus, but some opposition to it arose because it allowed high-density structures to be built in some R-2 residential zones.
The TND overlay ordinance is being evaluated and some parts of it may be incorporated into the borough's zoning ordinance.
"Stopping this until they get it straightened out" was one of council's achievements during his first term in office, Jobe said.
He sympathizes with residents whose homes have become surrounded by student rental properties. The residents' homes, by ordinance, cannot be converted into student rentals too, and the owners can't find buyers who would want to move a family into them.
Jobe said he feels those surrounded property owners should be given the same opportunity to sell their homes as were owners who sold homes to make room for high-density student housing projects.
Jobe said other concerns among his constituents are taxes and the disruptions caused by IUP Homecoming celebrations. After previous homecoming weekends he had a few beer cans to pick up around his Blairton Avenue home.
"This year it was bad," he said, but adds, "It's not the whole university that's giving you problems. … Without the university, we're dead."
He also supports efforts to keep the Indiana Free Library in the borough-owned Community Center Building.
"I think it should be here," Jobe said. "We need the library. There are a lot of kids who cannot afford computers" and can use those available at the library.
And Jobe is satisfied with a 12-member council.
"I don't think they should shrink it," he said.

Opinion: Trump Took My Advice to Fire Himself from the Newsmax Debate
Late last week I took to Twitter and the airwaves to urge Donald Trump to fire himself from moderating his own Republican debate. Judging from the press accounts yesterday, he followed my advice.
With unemployment near 10 percent, housing prices depressed all across the country and a sense that 2012 might be harder in most households across America than 2011, the last thing voters needed was a reality show posing as a Republican presidential debate.
Well done, Mr. Trump. Americans appreciate you providing entertainment for them on their television screens and Trump Tower is always an easy stop to take family and friends visiting New York City from out of town. But injecting yourself into a Republican debate was a little much for all of us – by firing yourself now, you'll find many more fans in the days to come. I promise.
Watch: Donald Trump explains why he cancelled the 'Great Debate'

What other sports hold their pinnacle events in countries where no-one is interested? To the people who say that F1 is a world sport and it should be held across the globe, I would agree, but there are around 200 countries in the world, and about 190 of them have more interest in motor sport than South Korea, and there are less than 20 GPs to go around. To the people who say we need to develop the interest, you don't do that with your premier event.

- In 1370, the Turco-Mongol warlord Timur (also known as Tamerlane in the West) conquered much of present-day Iraq, Iran, and Central Asia and established the Timurid dynasty. His descendants may have lacked Timur's military prowess, but they were among the most active patrons of architecture and the arts of the book, which reached unprecedented levels of sophistication during the fifteenth century.
Nizami's Khamsa (Quintet), one of Iran's literary masterpieces, was particularly favored during the Timurid period. This folio is from the second poem, known as Khusraw and Shirin and is devoted to the romance between the last Sasanian king, Khusraw II (reigned 590628), known as Parviz (the Victorious), and Shirin, the beautiful and independent-minded Armenian princess. It depicts the first encounter between Shirin and the third central character of Nizami's text, the sculptor Farhad, who also falls desperately in love with the Armenian princess. Intimate in scale, the painting's meticulously rendered, stagelike interior and jewel-like palette are characteristic of early Timurid aesthetic refinement.

At 228k miles, the transmission needs to come out for the third time in 30k miles. I'm no mechanic, but mine said its fatal. The bearings need to be replaced, the transmission split and all those beads of sweat in between.
I didn't give up when the heater core and spider gears nearly explosively blew on the same work commute at 197,197 miles.
I kept at it when some misaligned clutch part nearly explosively disintegrated 12k miles later.
I can't in good faith pay for a third transmission limbo at 228k miles. My dramatic plea for help would go here, but even then I'd probably sell it next year.
From 12/12/2000 to today, you've been my faithful daily. The car I met my wife in. The car that served through a decade of I-90 sprints to Alpental. We even drove coast to coast that one time.
Dusting Whale will find a new home, hopefully one that lasts another decade. I built, and payed for it to last so. Too bad for that "budget" transmission rebuild at 197,197k miles.
Keep throwing the V, be kind to your kin, I'll make room for you on the on-ramps.
