Ceiling fan trouble wiring
I am new to this so please be patient. I am trying to wire a new ceiling fan. Out of the ceiling there are four cables, RED, WHITE, GREEN & YELLOW. From the fan there is BLUE, WHITE, GREEN & BLACK
how do I wire these? I have a 2 button switch one for the light and one for the fan.
Try this
Green to green
White to white
Black to yellow
Blue to red.
If the wrong switch controls the fan then try
Black to red
Blue to yellow
Blue = Light
White = Neutral
Green = Ground
Black = fan
If the two button switch is existing, this is how it's most likely connected.
Connect the white from the fan to the white in box.
Connect the green from the fan to the bare wire (ground) in the box.
Connect the black from the fan to the red in the box.
Connect the blue from the fan to the yellow in the box.
The yellow or red can be interchanged if the light comes on when the fan should come on.
Joed, you type faster than I can.....lol
To be sure about the ground : Check with an ohm meter which wire of the fan connects to its metallic parts. This one should be connected to the green from the ceiling
The other wires - try to connect them in one of the ways said above. Try to power it up. See what happens and correct if needed
First connect a lightbulb to red and white or yellow and white to assume which wire is from fan switch and which from light switch. I will call them fan live and light live
1. Fan works very slow and light is dim OR light is ok and fan off
if they both work when fan switch is on then swap light live and neutral
if they both work when light switch is on then move fan wires from light live to fan live / from ceiling neutral to light live / from fan live to ceiling neutral
2. Fan works very slow and light is dim OR fan is ok and light off
if they both work when light switch is on then swap fan live and neutral
if they both work when fan switch is on then move fan wires from fan live to light live / from ceiling neutral to fan live / from light live to ceiling neutral
3. Fan and light controlled by the wrong switches : swap light live and fan live
Ash, you got to realize this forum is mostly USA based users and "Live" is not a term used in the USA. It would help others greatly that you indicate your location, wire colors and functions differ greatly from the UK and the USA and giving someone the wrong info (which may be right in the UK) can be quite dangerous!
My answer is based on US NEC. 'Live' is equal to 'hot'
fungku, Never assume that the person who wired before you did it all according to code. A electricity for dummies book in one hand a and a pair of wire cutters in the other can be a dangerous thing. I've run across situations where circuits were wired with whatever was on hand (zip cord, 2 30A dryers wired off a single 12/3...). A couple of seconds can prevent an unpleasent surprise. pete

Statement by Ambassador Berger on the Signing of an Agreement on the 64th Annual UN DPI/NGO Conference in Bonn
(check against delivery)
Dear Under Sectretary General Akaska, dear Ms. Keher, dear Mr. Dodds, let me thank you for the opportunity to take part in this press conference.
Germany is extremely glad that Bonn has been chosen as the host city for the annual DPI/NGO-Conference. We are proud to be associated with this important conference and have contributed 850.000 USD.
In a couple of days from now, the city of Bonn and its citizens are looking forward to welcoming more than 1500 participants. And I can assure you Bonn is well prepared. As you know, Bonn is the German UN city: There is a strong (and I must say growing) cluster of currently 16 UN organisations and offices in the field of sustainable development and the environment. The most importants are UNFCCC und UNV, adding the other important dimension of the conference: volunteerism.
Also many relevant German government offices are located in Bonn to create the necessary synergies.
So I am certain the conference environment will be conducive to a lively and interactive event. This even more so as the city of Bonn has prepared a number of interesting side-events.
Less than a year before the Rio+20 conference it was an excellent idea to focus the conference on "sustainable societies – responsive citizens". My government is particularly fond of this event as sustainability is what moves much of today's political debate in Germany. And this comprises many dimensions: We could be talking about green economy or sustainable social structures. Germany has a very active civil society, focussing on sustainability, on the national as well as on the international level.
It adds to the popularity of sustainable development that sectors like environmental technology have become important industrial growth sectors. Green economy is a real job engine as we observe a strongly increasing demand, domestically and around the world.
However, none of the major challenges of the 21st century could possibly be tackled by government alone. And the advancement of sustainable development is more than an industrial strategy: The active support and the commitment of NGOs are absolutely essential to advance the course of sustainability.
This is a conference not only –for-- civil society, focussing –on-- civil society engagement, but also a conference organised to a great extent –by-- civil society. I am impressed by the substantial and extensive input and contribution from civil society organisations and activists – both here in NY and in Germany. Jointly with DPI and the City of Bonn they have managed to not only set up a comprehensive conference programme, featuring prominent civil society representatives from all over the world, but also an impressive number of exhibits and side-events to provide the participants with a wide range of opportunities for further exchange and information.
Germany considers this NGO conference an important contribution in preparation of the two-day special session of the General Assembly (on the 10th Anniversary of the International Year of Volunteers) in December 2011.
And let me finish by adding that the German delegation is prepared to introduce the conference outcome document to the General Assembly of the United Nations.
Let me conclude by thanking DPI for the excellent cooperation, but also UN Volunteers, the city of Bonn and all who participated in the preparation of this event. We wish the conference every success and all participants an inspiring stay in Germany.

On some of my previous cars, I learned of a fairly simple hack to disable the seat belt warning chime - on a hunch, I tried the same procedure that I used for my Subaru, on my Cayman, and lo and behold, it worked. Now, in anticipation of the usual protests ("Why don't you want to wear your seatbelts?" . . . yada, yada) I issue the following:DISCLAIMER1. I always wear my seatbelts when driving.
2. I always make sure my passenger(s) are wearing their seatbelt(s) when I'm driving.
3. I strongly advocate that everyone always wears a seatbelt.
4. If you choose not to wear a seatbelt, then you are only proving Darwin correct.
Now, that being said, there are times when I remove my belt, e.g. at a drive-thru, ATM, etc. to get in my wallet, and don't like to listen to the incessant dinging. I also plan on using racing harnesses at the track, and would like to shut off the chime without resorting to other measures.
Now, interestingly, the procedure that I have used on previous cars was reversible; simply by repeating the procedure you could toggle the warning chime on and off. For some reason, I have been unable to restore the original warning chime, despite repeated attempts. (It probably could be restored by either disconnecting the battery or taking it to the dealer to have it reprogrammed - I don't know). Because of that please observe the following:WARNINGThe procedure described below may result in the permanent disabling of your seat belt warning chime as programmed at the factory. If you do not want to disable your chime permanently, then don't do it!
Okay, so here's the procedure:
1. Turn your key in the ignition to the On (second) position (don't start the engine). Don't connect your seat belt yet.
2. When the initial seat belt chiming stops, quickly insert and remove the seatbelt (you can hold down the release button to facilitate this - just make sure to insert it all the way) 10-15 times as fast as you can (i.e. less than 20 seconds).
3. Turn the key off, then start your engine and test to see if it works by driving over 10 mph on a safe side street without your belt. If it didn't work then try again with a different number of insertions.
Now, my chime does not come on at all if I don't connect my seatbelt before starting the engine (the little red warning light on the dash does come on however). If I disconnect my belt while the engine is running (like at a drive-thru) it will chime 7 times, and then stop.
I don't know how or why this works, but it is a big improvement to me.
LATE ENTRY (1/20/07): I have tried disconnecting the battery, but that did not return it to the original state.

Big 8th Inning Lifts Wings Past Pigs
Clete Thomas' eighth inning single broke open what had been a pitching duel, as the Red Wings defeated the Lehigh Valley IronPigs 5-3 Thursday night at Frontier Field. The series and homestand concludes Friday at 7:05 p.m.
On the mound for the Wings was Sharon Martis. After pitching a scoreless first inning while only giving up one hit, in the second the IronPigs scored the first run of the game off Martis after Cody Overbeck reached on an error by first baseman Chris Parmelee. Overbeck scored on a double play grounder; the unearned run would be the only given up by Martis throughout the first three innings.
In the fourth, the IronPigs managed two hits with two outs, but Martis was able to get out of trouble and get the final out without Lehigh Valley expanding upon their lead.
Tyler Cloyd was the starting pitcher for Lehigh Valley, and came out of the gate strong, throwing a no-hitter for the first four innings against the Wings, giving up only one walk in the second inning.
In the fifth, with a man on first, Brian Dozier made a spectacular defensive play, diving to get the out then throwing in time to get the lead-off runner on first, a double play and the first two outs of the inning. Rochester would get the next batter and final out of the fifth while keeping the score at 1-0.
Martis maintained his groove in the sixth, going three up three down and keeping the single run deficit from growing.
Cloyd continued his flirt with the no-hitter throughout the sixth inning, with some quality defensive plays being made all over the field.
In the seventh, Martis had another dominant inning, retiring all three batters he faced, two by strikeout. The Wings then added some offensive pressure when Tsuyoshi Nishioka got the first hit of the evening, thus breaking up Cloyd's search for the no-hitter. With Nishioka on base, Parmelee smacked a long home run into the night, scoring two runs for the Wings and giving them a 2-1 lead. This was Parmelee's team-leading 17th home run of the season, which is made even more impressive by the fact that he has only played in 57 games with the team this year. On the very next pitch, Wilkin Ramirez jacked another one out of the park, this one heading out of left field and expanding the Wings' lead 3-1.
Martis stayed in the game to start the eighth inning, and after giving up a hit and then getting an out, he was replaced by Luis Perdomo. The IronPigs scored a run on an error, then Pete Orr's home run tied the game. Thomas drilled an 0-1 pitch from Joe Savery to left field for an RBI single, plating pinch-runner Michael Hollimon.

Japanese artist Hikari Shimoda's child subjects are equally enchanting and disarming, and full of possibilities. Though her portraits feature anonymous starry-eyed children, they are also reflections of Hikari herself, who has amassed her experiences of traveling abroad and learning the English language into her new paintings.
Born and currently based in Nagano, Japan, but raised on Japanese animation and comics, Hikari herself is not unlike her characters, living on the edge between a place deeply rooted in its beliefs and traditions and an exciting, however uncertain, future.

Season 2 debuts tonight of The Americans, the FX drama centered around husband and wife KGB undercover agents (Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell as "Philip and Elizabeth Jennings") who live with their kids as ordinary Americans in suburban Washington, DC when Reagan becomes President.
In the next to last episode of the first season, at a scene in a restaurant sometime in 1982, a source tells "Elizabeth" she can trust a U.S. Colonel, who wants to pass on information about the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), because "he's completely disillusioned with the Chicken Hawks in the Reagan administration."
In the season finale aired the following week (May 1, 2013), "Philip" meets the Colonel in a Washington, DC park. The Colonel says the anti-ballistic missile program is "not credible" and, "at best, it's 50 years from being remotely operational." He asserts "the damn thing's a fantasy," prompting "Philip" to wonder: "Well, if that's true, then why the commitment from the Reagan administration?"

NSW Minister for Finance and Services Dominic Perrottet has announced the next 10 locations for Service NSW centres as the NSW Government continues to expand the one-stop-shop government network.
Broken Hill has been included on the list which will see the centre opened by June 2015.
Businessman Gary Radford was in line at the RMS yesterday when he learnt of the changes to take place and he is not happy.
Mr Radford does not believe the new facility will be convenient for residents and is not designed for bush people.
What does this mean for the current RMS centre in Bagot Street?

Can you help, i've recently got involved with managing a Youth hostel on a voluntary basis. Which is in an old Victorian House which is now used as a youth Hostel. The total number of beds is 56 on ground and first floors. It has only 2 exits - 1 front and one back. But no proper fire exits ie push bar to open doors. It has a new fire alarm system -but, where do I stand legally?
The same lack of formalities apply to things like risk assesments - hich are non-existant!

TLF, hopefully the technowizzard can let you know as I'm on the loosing end of computer knowledge. I wish I could help but...:crazy:
I think I can help- When you sign in,,, click the small box under the login name and password that says STAY LOGGED IN. that will keep you logged in until you click on the LOG OUT button. I typically just stay logged in because I'm the only one using my computer so I know no one else is going to get on here.
If you are on a shared computer, just remember to click LOG OFF when you are done.
Hope this helps
Thanks guys-appreciate it!!

Tobago Hill fish pond project now a white elephant
The hassar fish pond project embarked on by the Government of Guyana, through the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs to provide a livelihood for the remote Region One Amerindian community, Tobago Hill, has become a white elephant 3 years after its implementation.
During a visit to the community by Stabroek News on July 10 the ponds had to be examined from a distance because the bridge to access the area where the 4 ponds are located had floated away because of torrential rainfall. The hut that was built to house the caretaker of the project was also abandoned.
Toshao Patrick Thomas, who has held the post for the past two years, inherited the unsuccessful fish pond project from former Toshao, Edmund Santiago. He explained that when the ponds were first set up, there was much that went wrong in terms of construction, drainage and even the feasibility of such an activity given that the people were inexperienced in aquaculture. He said the first set of hassar fingerlings, some 2,000 or so, that were placed in the ponds in 2010 mostly died and that no benefit had been derived from the project since its implementation. While not calling it a complete failure, he said the government then told them to go and catch fish from the Waini River and put them in the ponds. This he referred to as a redundant move since it's just as if they were catching fish as per normal. He then explained that they were never able to fill the ponds with wild fish because of bad weather and no finance. The latter he elaborated would have been needed to buy fuel and materials necessary to catch the fish, keep them alive and take them to the fish ponds to be released. They were never able to successfully do this, so the fish pond project has been abandoned and there seems to be little hope of it being revived given the unfeasibility of such a venture.
The project, part of an $88 million National Secure Livelihood Programme, which was launched by the government in 2009 to assist Region One communities had been deemed a success by Amerindian Affairs Minister Pauline Sukhai. The Government Information Agency had reported that the minister commended residents for their hard work in preparing the fish ponds and caring and growing the fingerlings. In 2012, the minister had said that the Tobago Hill community would soon reap the first harvest of hassar reared under the project but this was never so.
The minister had disputed a report by Stabroek News on the then state of the project (2012) highlighting the problems faced by the community and the lack of fish in the ponds. The minister had insisted that there were fish in the ponds, but that they could not be seen because they were bottom dwellers. The report accused this newspaper of misrepresenting the situation on the ground despite the consensus of the villagers and Santiago, the then Toshao.
The current Toshao, Thomas, reminded this reporter of the incident and specifically asked that there be no more misconceptions about the project. He made it clear that there are no hassar in the ponds and that financial and weather constraints are preventing them from maintaining the project.

3-Ideas Presentation Setup Logistics
The 3-ideas poster presentations are scheduled during class.
If you plan to plot your posters using the 2.009 plotter, we will be arranging a plotter schedule for the day before the presentation. There is also a schedule for practice sessions with the communication instructors.
Your section should have one, two, or three presenters prepared to give 40 second summaries of the ideas. An equal amount of time should be devoted to each idea.
A two-minute time limit will be strictly enforced for each section — so if one presenter uses all two minutes for one idea, there will be no time to present the other ideas from your section! Your communication instructor will be happy to help you prepare. Over the term we would like everyone on your team to present at least once. If you are not sure about your public speaking, the 3-ideas presentation is a good opportunity for you.
Please make sure your section's posters and presenters arrive no later that 1:00. The best approach is to leave your posters in Pappalardo lab after plotting and we will bring them to class for you. We will be mounting the posters in the classroom once we can enter the room. We will provide the mounting arrangements but please be prepared to help with setup if needed.

Those who have followed Hortonworks since our initial launch already know that we are absolutely committed to open source and the Apache Software Foundation. You will be glad to know that our commitment remains the same today. We don't hold anything back. No proprietary code is being developed at Hortonworks.And indeed. I have asked this questions about HortonWorks using BigTop to power up their platform offering some time ago and later pretty much repeated it in the form of comment to Shaun Connolly blog. To his credit, my question has been answered directly:
As far as BigTop goes, we at Hortonworks are using parts of BigTop for the HDP platform builds, so thanks for the efforts there!I have meet the gentleman in person at the recent Hadoop Summit and we have a short yet nice chat about enterprise stacks and the role an open-source technology plays there.
So, it is time to put my initial question to rest as the fully answered one.
P.S. On a separate note: I have left a slightly different comment on Cloudera' blog. Somehow, the comment doesn't appear to be visible (at least I don't see anything but "2 comments" line) nor had it been answered publicly (again, perhaps, it has been but I don't see in on the page). In the Cloudera's defense I have to say that I got an answering email from one of their execs, which I can't publish for it was a private message.

2003 Dodge Durango Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2003 Dodge Durango based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
On the 4.7L V8 engine, the Camshaft position sensor failure can cause the engine to crank but not start or it can cause intermittent stalling. A new camshaft position sensor will be needed.
A ticking type noise may develop, most noticeable when the engine is cold. This is commonly caused by one or more broken exhaust manifold bolts. Our technicians recommend to replace the broken bolts as needed, also the exhaust manifold gaskets should be replaced at this time.
Some vehicles may develop a musty odor coming from the HVAC system, Dodge has issued a cleaner/disinfectant and a coating for the evaporator designed to inhibit bacterial growth.
External oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets (front or rear), and the rear crankshaft seal area are common. The rear main seal is an unlikely source. Normally, leaks in this area are from the bearing cap mating surfaces as well as the sealing surface between the oil pan and bearing cap.
On vehicles with a 3.7L V6 and 4.7L V8, water may pass by the cowl screen (at the base of the windshield) in heavy rain or a car wash. This can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. A revised cowl screen may be available to fix this problem.
Rerouting the ignition coil wire and spark plug wires can help solve a misfire and/or surge problem that occurs at approximately 45 mph. A service bulletin was published that outlines the specifics of the repair. It states the rerouting procedure should be performed before other repairs are done for misfires, surging or spark knock.
Front and rear differential pinion seal leaks are common. A leaking pinion seal will require replacement.
If the door locks intermittently lock and unlock without pressing the door lock switch, the door and liftgate lock cylinder switches may need replacement. This may occur more often when driving in damp conditions like the rain or through a car wash.
A whining noise heard driving at freeway speeds (more than 55 mph) can be normal noise from the rear axle which is being transmitted through the body. A body/frame damper is available which may help with this concern.
On 3.9L V6 and 5.9L V8 engines, the intake manifold gasket may leak and cause increased oil consumption and a spark knock during acceleration; the gasket should be replaced.
Poor AC performance or no cold air blowing from vents is commonly caused by a refrigerant leak from the AC condenser. Road debris like rocks or pebbles can damage the condenser tubes.
If the transmission delays initial gear engagement after being parked overnight or longer, it may be due to a suspect transmission cooler return filter. If the transmission was recently serviced and the part number for the cooler return filter contains an "AB" suffix at the end, a new filter should be installed.
The upper ball joints may fail due to moisture damage. Our technicians tell us 2000-2001 models were recalled for this issue. For more information on this recall, please click here»

Being An Ally Is About More Than Your Own Identity
In the wake of the Orlando mass shooting and throughout this month of LGBTQPIA+ pride, I have seen an immense presence of online support and love for the LGBTQPIA+ community — support for which I am incredibly grateful. But I have also seen a number of perhaps well-intended, yet ultimately offensive, comments from self-identified "allies" — the majority of whom are apparently white, cisgender, or heterosexual/heteromantic. In this time of both tragedy and pride, it seems useful to discuss what it really means to be an ally.
Allyship is not just an identity — it requires action. An ally to the the LGBTQPIA+ community is someone who uses their cishet privilege to lift up the silenced voices in that community. Allies are allies because they do …

Submitted to: Soil Science Society of America Journal
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 7/3/2002
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Environmentalists and conservationists use computer models to evaluate ecosystems. Soil erosion, for example, is normally evaluated using an erosion model. For example, when a farmer goes to his or her local county conservation office, the conservation officer in that office will use an erosion model to help him/her select the type of management practices for the farm which best conserve the soil resource. In order to develop better models of erosion which give the user more information, we need to understand more about the erosion process. In this study we were looking at the amount of sediment that can be carried by surface water runoff as might occur during a rain storm. In particular, we were interested in how much soil can be detached by the surface water flow, and after it is detached, how much can be carried. Ultimately, this research will provide erosion models that tell us not only how much erosion occurs on a field, but where the erosion is most severe. Since we will know where severe erosion is occurring, we can target those areas and spend less money to conserve more soil. Society will benefit from better and more ecoomical conservation of soil resources used in growing food and less water pollution from farmlands.
Technical Abstract: The understanding of soil erosion processes and the development of accurate erosion prediction models require understanding of detachment, deposition, and sediment transport in rills. The objectives of this study were to determine whether sediment transport capacity is a unique value for given soil, flow rate and slope, and to determine if the equilibrium sediment concentration in the flow obtained by detachment was different from that obtained under depositional conditions. Experiments on a Carmi loam (fine, mixed, mesic Typic Hapludalf) simulated rill erosion under net detachment and net deposition conditions. Two discharge rates of 6 and 9 L min-1, and two sediment input regimes of 0 and excess of transport capacity were tested on soil beds with lengths of 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8 m at 7 % slope. Sediment load reached steady state conditions within the 8-meter distance on the rill. At 9 L min-1 discharge, 8 m length, and excess sediment added to the flow, sediment delivery was 71 g L-1 versus 31 g L-1 for the case with no sediment added. Overall for the tested conditions, rill flow transported 2 times more sediment than it could detach. The flow did not reach its maximum potential transported load through detachment of particles, due in part to changes in the sediment size distribution under deposition and possibly to the protective action of bedload particles moving along the rill bottom and/or changes in flow turbulence associated with sediment laden flow.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Junior catcher Ryan Messex smacked two doubles, drove in two RBI, scored a run and was stout defensively behind the plate for WKU Tuesday night at Nick Denes Field as the Hilltoppers defeated Austin Peay 5-2.
The win marked WKU's seventh in the past nine meetings with Austin Peay (10-18) and snapped a five-game midweek losing streak. The victory also improved the Hilltoppers to 15-14 on the season.
Messex finished the game 2-of-3 at the plate, caught two Governor runners stealing and picked off another. His gun down ability ended the fourth, fifth and sixth innings for Austin Peay. Messex got WKU's scoring started with a two-out RBI double in the fourth inning to knot the game at 1-1 and put WKU in front 3-1 with a sacrifice fly in the sixth. It marked the 25th time in Messex's career that he posted multiple hits in a game and ninth occasion he drove in two or more runs.
Freshman starter Sam Higgs picked up his team-leading fourth win of the year after working a career high five innings of one-run baseball. After surrendering a sac fly in the first inning, Higgs responded by retiring 10-straight batters and finished his outing with just four hits allowed.
WKU trailed 1-0 until the fourth inning when Messex and sophomore outfielder Anderson Miller gave the Hilltoppers a 2-1 advantage with back-to-back two-out RBI. Messex's double put WKU on the board and scored junior first baseman Ryan Church while Miller followed with a single that plated Messex.
The Hilltoppers led 3-1 after Messex's sac fly in the sixth and tacked on two big insurance runs in the seventh when senior second baseman Scott Wilcox roped a double down the right field line to score junior shortstop Cody Wofford and freshman third baseman Leiff Clarkson. Four of WKU's five RBI came in two-out situations and the Hilltoppers led 5-1 after Wilcox came through in the clutch.
Junior reliever Tate Glasscock worked a season-high two innings and struck out a season-high three batters in the sixth and seventh innings. Closer Ian Tompkins, who didn't toss a single pitch at No. 1 Louisiana-Lafayette over the weekend, worked 1.2 innings and struck out five while surrendering a run. Junior Brennan Pearson picked up his first save of the year and third of his career with a game-ending, bases loaded strikeout.
Austin Peay starter Caleb DeLee tossed six innings for the Governors, allowing seven hits and three runs in his second loss of the year. WKU finished the game with 10 hits, which gives the Hilltoppers at least 10 hits in 17 of 29 games this season.
WKU returns to the diamond Wednesday to host Lipscomb at 4 p.m. (CT). Wednesday's game will feature $2 weekday specials, which includes $2 tickets and concessions specials by Centerplate and on the party decks.

So you have an iPhone 4 and one of Apple's impressive iPad 2. That's nice. But as we all know, buying a product is only the first step of the Apple experience, and that one will need a variety of third-party accessories in order to get the most out of his or her Apple product. Which is precisely what Andino's Denim Texas iPad 2 Leather Case and PowerPlus II Lite battery pack are designed to do for Apple's iPad 2 and iPhone 4.
When one pays good money to purchase devices that are designed specially to appeal to the fashion-conscious, it goes without saying that such devices could always use some form of protection in the form of third-party cases and bumpers. After all, with luxury products like Apple's iPhone 4 and iPad 2 tablet devices costing a lot more than most of the competition, users will definitely want to ensure that their drool-worthy, Steve Jobs-approved fashion statements remain well protected from the likes of nicks and scratches.
And if you are going to invest in protection for your iPhone and iPad 2, why not spend a little more and get some protective gear that not only shows off your individuality, but comes with some added functionality at the same time? Which, coincidentally, happens to be what Andino is offering to owners of iOS-powered devices with its Andino Denim Texas iPad 2 Leather Case and PowerPlus II Lite battery pack for the iPhone 4.
Andino Denim Texas iPad 2 Leather Case
According to Andino, the Denim Texas iPad 2 Leather Case is a protective case which has been designed to cater to the fashion-conscious and utilizes high-quality denim for its exterior. In addition, the Denim Texas iPad 2 Leather Case also has a built-in "inner spine" which enables the case to cater for both landscape and portrait viewing (as shown below).
PowerPlus II Lite battery pack
According to Andino, the PowerPlus II Lite mobile battery pack is "an enhanced-capacity battery case" which is said to be capable of doubling an iPhone 4's uptime on a single battery charge. Designed to serve as both an iPhone 4 bumper case and a mobile battery recharger at the same time, Andino claims that the PowerPlus II Lite mobile battery pack was created to cope with the "increasing demands of smartphone users" while offering additional protection for the iPhone 4 at the same time.
Both the Andino Denim Texas iPad 2 Leather Case and the PowerPlus II Lite battery pack are currently available for sale at the retail price of S$59 and can be purchased at the following flagship stores:
- Love Mobile – The Cathay @ Dhoby Ghaut, #01-10

This Alternative Funeral is a Festive Farewell
Would you be caught dead in a colorful, zip-up coffin?
It's over. You have shuffled off this mortal coil, and everyone has come to pay their respects. They approach you as you repose in your fire-engine red coffin, to bid their final farewells. The funeral director opens the PVC lid.
On the assumption that you only get one chance to make a last impression, the Dutch design team of Visser and Meijwaard have reimagined the coffin—indeed, the entire funeral—to make it less drab and impersonal.
Instead of a pine box or a gunmetal grey casket, Steven Visser and Vera Meijwaard envision a cover of bright, primary-colored PVC on a stand made of oak. The cover can be opened by means of a zipper. The departed is wrapped and laid upon a stretcher, and the cover placed over them. The cover is removed before burial or cremation and can be reused, making funerals cheaper and more environmentally friendly. The effect is a clean, contemporary look, less somber mortuary than "mourning by IKEA".
"The majority of coffins are uninspired, old fashioned and expensive," Visser and Meijwaard told Dezeen. "They don't meet the growing modern idea that the last farewell doesn't have to be that depressing anymore and should be more personal. With the zipper we got rid of the claustrophobic idea of getting nailed into your coffin." The designs, titled "Kassiewijle", were created as part of Dutch Design Week 2015, and included flowers by Linda Nieustad and ceramics by Studio KnockOut.
"Kassiewijle is a colourful alternative for the farewell," say Visser and Meijwaard. "A setting in which you do want to be found dead. For the departed, nothing but the best!"

2014 Outlook for Closed-End Funds
With many of 2013's headwinds behind them, the outlook for closed-end funds in early 2014 is increasingly positive. Here is a review of some of the various challenges presented last year, and our view on the year ahead.
2013 Challenge
2014 Outlook
|IPO Activity
|After a strong start in 2013, the number and size of closed-end fund IPOs faltered mid-year. A decades-long emphasis on bringing to market funds that offer attractive income was hurt when long-term interest rates began to rise and share prices of newly issued funds fell to discounts shortly after their launches.
|We expect very few closed-end funds IPOs in early 2014 as issuers and underwriters struggle to come up with offerings that will be popular and fulfill investors' needs. An eventual rebound will be tied to diversity in the types of new funds offered and retail acceptance of the products. We predict new offerings will focus less on income and more on growth objectives and alternative strategies.
|Distribution Rates
|The declining trend in interest rates over the past few years put closed-end fund distributions under pressure during most of 2013. Not only were fund holdings generating lower earnings, but some of the most attractive holdings were being called away and/or refinanced. The result? Dividend cuts across many income categories.
|The rise in long-term interest rates has some benefits for investors. We expect closed-end fund distribution rates to be more sustainable in 2014. In fact,some funds may even increase their payouts. Although long-term rates are higher, short-term rates remain low. This results in a steeper yield curve which can enhance a fund's ability to boost income to common shareholders using leverage.
|Discounts to NAV
|A sell-off in all types of bond funds began in mid-May 2013, impacting the net asset values (NAV) of leveraged closed-end income funds the most, while widening discounts for almost all funds. Poorest performing sectors were hit with another wave of selling pressure at year-end as investors took losses to offset gains realized from other investments. As equity funds paid out unusually large capital gain distributions for 2013, investors further intensified their selling of bond funds to offset these unexpected taxable gains. The widest average discounts of the year occurred in the third week of December.
|The urgency to sell losing positions to realize tax losses has passed and discounts have already begun to narrow. Furthermore, investors are enjoying a relative degree of certainty surrounding the Fed's policy towards interest rates after a year of nervous guessing. Experts speculate that there is still a tremendous amount of cash sitting on the sidelines earning little or no dividends or interest. Investors' unfulfilled desire for income and the urge to get back into equity markets, which made record gains in 2013, should lure investors back to both bond and equity closed-end funds in 2014. We expect the added demand should continue to narrow discounts along the way.
|Discount Narrowing Actions & Dissident Activity
|Considering the strong prevailing valuations in early 2013, with many sectors trading at narrow discounts or even premiums, there was little need for fund managements to take action to narrow discounts. As a result, it was a slow year for tender offers and only three funds took the most aggressive action—liquidation. The most prevalent initiatives were new and stepped up open market repurchase programs. As discounts widened in the second half of the year, however, some large shareholder groups began contacting managements and requesting more aggressive discount-narrowing action.
|We expect more dissident activity and discount-narrowing initiatives in 2014. Fund managements have become increasingly proactive in managing persistent discounts over the past several years, but have favored only moderate actions. We predict funds will take more aggressive approaches, including an increased number of tender offers and perhaps even some open-endings and liquidations over the coming year. In addition, we believe dissident activity will focus more on bond funds and less on equity funds as the popularity of the two asset classes has inverted.
|Investment Positioning
|The long-term passive equity fund investor came up the winner in 2013, in spite of the fact that closed-end equity funds were out-of-favor throughout much of the year. However, 2013 was the exception rather than the rule.
On the other hand, after riding a wave of good performance from the end of the financial crisis until early 2013, the buy-and-hold strategy failed for bond fund investors.
|Equity funds are starting 2014 at relatively wide discounts and, as a result, we believe they will receive increased investor attention as a good way to participate in the equity rally at bargain prices.
After a year of uncertainly with regard to interest rates, we also expect somewhat more confidence in the stability of bond markets. But it will be a combination of discount pricing and attractive, stable distributions that will help entice investors back to closed-end bond funds.
Dual Approach in Evolving Environment
Historically, a trading strategy that seeks to buy closed-end funds with wide discounts and to sell when discounts narrow, increases returns and helps reduce risk by maximizing exposure to undervalued funds and minimizing exposure to those that are overvalued. Extreme discount widening at year-end 2013 suggests that there may be an equally dramatic "January" effect, as discounts typically narrow in the absence of tax-selling pressures.
While such a scenario might appear to make the case for active trading, the extreme nature of closed-end fund undervaluations and potential for more sustainable earnings support a longer-term focus for certain categories and individual funds. Therefore, we view this as an ideal time to select well-managed funds trading at attractive entry prices to establish them as core holdings for the coming year.

Tomas Villa Update
By Lee Bates
UPDATE: Matchmaker John Beninati has informed that Tomas Villa was signed as an opponent fight a Gary Shaw Productions fighter, but has not inked to a GSP promotional agreement.
A source has confirmed that featherweight Tomas "El Norteno" Villa (20-6-4, 13 KOs) has signed with Gary Shaw Productions. Villa's last bout in November 2008 was a thriller where he was stopped for the first time in his career in the 10th and final round by Rogers Mtagwa. Villa previously was with legendary promoter Don Chargin with whom he was riding a 12 bout unbeaten streak prior to the Mtagwa loss.

Paneling :(
My boyfriend and i just got a house, its our first one. and it has paneling through out most of the first level.:( we're not too fond of the paneling and cant afford to hang drywall or anything over it quite yet. any ideas on how to make it look a little better for a little cheaper than redoing the walls?
Welcome aboard.
How is the paneling attached to the wall? If it is nailed with finishing nails it would be easy to remove, patch the holes and paint. If it is glued that is another issue.
We had a rental property that had paneling and I painted it. First with a good sealer/primer and then paint. It looked good. Brightened up the room.
My dad also painted his panelling, (you know that faux wood look, oh so 70s), and it really looked nice.
He painted his an off white.
Agree with minconst. it really does brighten the room up.
Wallpaper is another choice if you like it that is but painting is a good inexspensive way to fix this up. I suggest you do one room first to see how you like it.
If your house is very old and you decide to try tearing down the panelling, do a small section first. I lived in an old house with panelling and when I started tearing it out, I discovered there was very old, very crumbly plaster underneath. Not drywall, which is easy to replace and/or patch, plaster. I decided to put the panelling back up and paint it. MUCH easier (and cheaper) solution. For something different, you might try painting the lower half of the panelling, papering the top half and installing a chair rail at the middle. It will look like you have wainscoting. Good luck!
You can clean it a bit, then give it a light sanding. Fill in the little lines with joint compound until smooth, then re-sand.
Apply a good stain killing primer and paint over it. Aside from the exterior trim (Corners and ceiling) - It won't look like old style paneling after that.
KILZ fill and paint works fine
Hi Atlantic
What is a stain killing primer?
What is KILZ?
YM they are first coat primers that hide or cover stains and paint.Like if your room was painted dark blue and you wanted to paint it say off white you would use Kilz first as your primer and the darker color will not come through same for stains sorry for the hijack
Thanks clasact!
A paint contractor told me to use Bullseye 123, not Kilz. Fine sand lightly, clean with asitone (spell?). Use two coats of 123, rather than of final finish. Have store tint 123 with same tint as final finish. Use the small white sponge paint rollers for smooth finish.

Egypt ex-interior minister to be tried with Mubarak
By Yasmine Saleh
CAIRO (Reuters) - A court postponed on Monday the trial of Egypt's former interior minister over the killing of protesters until next week so that he will be tried alongside ousted President Hosni Mubarak.
The ruling followed a weekend of clashes involving protesters demanding swifter reforms and faster prosecution of Mubarak and his officials. Demonstrators clashed with stone-throwing men who blocked a march to the Defence Ministry.
Many Egyptians believe the army is reluctant to speed up the trial of Mubarak, its former commander-in-chief, and say it wants to prevent his public humiliation. They also accuse the army of delaying other reforms.
Judge Adel Abdel-Salam ordered the trial of Habib al-Adli be postponed until August 3 so it was "joined with the case related to the trial of the former President Hosni Mubarak", adding that the evidence and charges were the same.
Six others in the Adli case will be tried on the same day.
Sources had earlier said Mubarak's trial could be held in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. But merging the case with Adli and other officials could complicate moving the trial from Cairo as all defendants may have to be in the same court, legal experts said.
"The cases have been merged together: where Mubarak is tried, Adli is tried," Judge Ahmed Mekky, the deputy head of Egypt's Appeal Court, said.
Further delays in the case or shifting it to another place could stoke public anger as many Egyptians are particularly keen to see Adli convicted after police used live ammunition, rubber bullets and teargas to try to quash anti-Mubarak demonstrations. Continued...

Re: The cuts keep coming for the Colts
Painter's not bad as a backup QB.
Forget anything past 4 weeks of service, but just about every team is screwed in those long-term backup scenarios anyway.
IMO, he will make it somewhere as a backup.
Perhaps Pittsburg, that appears to be backup needy now.
Re: The cuts keep coming for the Colts
Dallas Clark and Reggie Wayne would be a nice, package along with Peytron, no matter where he lands.
Miami, Denver, Ariz?

Tankless Heater for DHW and basement heating
My hot water tank crapped out I am having to reset it about 4 times per week to get hot water,. The beast is a rental and I am thinking of going tankless.
My problems are:
1) Which is better gas or electric I know gas is more expensive
2 Would it be a good idea to use one unit to supply hot water for potentially 2 showers at the same time plus heat a small basement ( hydronic) 25 by 20?
My original plan for the basement was a small gas stove about 20,000 btu
Definitely install a gas water heater, whether you go tankless or storage. They'll cost a few hundred more upfront, but you'll recoup that cost fairly quickly. Electric prices are sooooo high lately!
I don't know whether you can use the same tankless unit for DHW AND hydronic heating. I'm interested in that too, so hopefully someone with info will chime in.
Tankless water heater
Here in Ontario gas prices have been spiking I think we are losing the advantage of gas over hydro. The gas unit requires a vent adapter which is pricey and the efficiency of gas peaks out at 85% , for electricity is efficiency rates are higher.
That being said I probable would install a cartridge on the water line to remove scaling elements otherwise the electric unit could crap out.
Simple answer, yes and no!:):( The no first. The International Residential Code, and common sense, do not allow hydronic water to be mixed with domestic water, so you should not (must not) connect the piping so water from one system also flows through the other system. Now for the yes. There is no reason you cannot use the same heat source to heat both hydronic and domestic. All you do is run the water from one system through one side of a heat exchanger and the water from the other system through the other side. I'm not sure how practical this will be with a tankless heater. I have my doubts that tankless buys you anything at all for hydronic heating except higher cost, more complication, and possibly a more temperamental system! In fact I'm not sure how much tankless buys you for DHW unless it's installed right at the point of use.
I really don't know much about tankless but what I will say is if the heat input into the water can be varied to fit a variable load, i.e. the faucet is part open or full open, then they probably work OK. If the heater is built so that the heat input is either full on or full off, then there has to be some sort of storage volume in the heater to smooth out the heat input to fit the heat load.
My understanding is that the tankless heaters vary the flame to keep the output temperature constant, regardless of flow or input temperature.
The use of a heat exchanger sounds inefficient here, and I don't think it would work at all with a tankless heater because the tankless only operates when the water is flowing, so you'd have to run your shower whenever you wanted the floor to heat up. So you really can't use a tankless to do both.
However, I'm interested in hearing from pros about the idea of using a tankless to do hydronic heating alone. I'd love to add hydronic to our bathrooms, but our central heat is FHA, so no hot water to pump around.
Do you have a boiler or hot air furnace?
63 Attachment(s)
You could probably figure out a way to make a single tankless do both DHW and hydronic heat but it wouldn't work well. DHW runs around 110F while heat runs around 180. The only way I can figure to make this work efficiently is if you use it to run an indirect water heater.
When I lived in Korea we never had anything but tankless. They were always LP. I suppose certain places also had natural gas but propane was more common. Anyway, for this discussion they are similar.
The tankless heaters were very good at heating water for both showers and floors. Asia is really big on hydronic floors. Forced air is incredibly uncommon in homes. Anyway, two different heaters connected to the same fuel line. I don't think trying to figure out a way to run both systems from the same heater is worth the effort.
We never had a problem getting hot water/floors as long as we didn't run out of fuel. I've heard the newest electric models are even better at heating efficiently as the heating elements are directly in the water. I also think that the logic behind electric ones is better, but I haven't been able to find a direct unbiased comparison of the two. Gas is cheaper but the unit is only about 80-85% efficient. Electric is nearly 100% efficient at the tank (but you pay more because the process that provided the electricity in the first place was less efficient).
I suppose there are many variables that factor into a direct comparison between tank heaters and tankless, but type of use and location are probably the most important. If you use hot water 20 gallons at a time at frequent points throughout the day, then I see a tank heater as being the better choice. Running 20 gallons of cold water full throttle through a tankless heater is the most inefficient way to use it. The unit is trying to maintain constant line temperature so running the hot line at half throttle is better, especially with gas heaters. Pulling 20 gal out of a tank heater is no big deal and the unit is set to supply much less fuel to heat the incoming water as warming doens't need to be instant. The problem of course is that the tank heater also wants to maintain that water temp during non-use.
Also, where I live the winters get down to -10*F for extended periods. This means that ground water is getting really close to freezing. It takes quite the tankless heater to convert 45* water to 120* instantly if it is used by a large family and always under high loads. Gas tankless heaters are more powerfull than electric and might be required depending on the circumstances. Gas units cost more in terms of installation and are often installed in less desirable locations because of venting requirements. This increases their inefficiency. In Korea they were always located outside for safety reasons. The hot water needed to be piped to the faucet and would lose much heat in the process. Electric heaters are designed to be placed very close to point of use which increases efficiency and reduces installation costs.
A large family should probably consider a tank/tankless combo. The tank heater is at a very low temp setting to maintain 75 gal or so of warm water. When the faucet is turned on, the tankless brings the pre-warmed water up to temp instantly, but the load on the system is much lower. Not hard for a tankless to bring the temp up 30*F. The problem with tank systems for a large family are that few units are even capable of heating water fast enough to keep up. After a couple showers or a load of laundry/dishes, the water coming from the showerhead will be lukewarm at best. The tankless units never run out of hot water, but at these levels will be expensive to run. If you have a 75 gal. tank preheating the water to 100*, the tankless unit will bring it up to 130* quite easily, and the last person showering will never be stuck without hot water. The tank unit won't be wasting so much energy during non-use either.
Anyway, there are obviosuly many variables, but my personally opinion is that nice electric units are better. There are many ways to obtain electric energy that don't consume natural resources, and many of these are becoming much less expensive. I think that solar is the only viable fuel source long term. Within 5-10 years it should be very affordable too. The debate between gas/electric will be over at that point until over supply of fossil fuels causes prices to plummet. And I think that tankless or some type of combo system will win the other debate too. It just makes more sense.

Noah's Ark and Baha'u'llah's Letter
Two plays about religious zeal, one Christian and one Baha'i.
Footprints on Water, Matt Cameron's new play about a Noah-like character who is readying his ark to save the faithful in the coming cataclysm, explores religious zealotry and ethnic bigotry, with large doses of black humour. Up Award-winning Melbourne playwright, Matt Cameron talks about the demons he's been wrestling.
The Baha'i faith is a religious movement which developed out of Persian Islam but which is considered to be completely independent. The founding figure is Baha'u'llah (1817-1892) and the spiritual centre is in Haifa. Baha'is believe in the oneness of God, the unity of religions and the unity of humanity. There is no priesthood.
The Kingfisher's Wing recounts the true story of the martyrdom of Aqa Buzurg, who delivered a letter to the Shah of Iran from the imprisoned founder of the Baha'i Faith, Baha'u'llah. The play was written and performed by American multi-award winning Bill George, who explores the familial and political conflicts into which the early followers of Baha's were plunged.
