I will examine this unfortunate side effect, Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), of the Digital Age in this essay. It has probably affected someone you know. I hope this information will cause you to pause, look at your computer setup and initiate changes that make your computing safer and more comfortable. And if you've already experienced some of RSI's disabling and career-threatening effects, I hope that this article eases some of your anxieties by describing methods, approaches and treatments that have helped others.

Avoiding Repetitive-Stress Injuries: A Guide for the Technical Communicator
Writers and editors in particular put in an awful lot of miles at the keyboard every day. One serious problem is the risk of so-called 'repetitive-stress injury' (RSI)--simplistically, any injury that results from overuse of a body part without giving it time to recover. In fact, 'overuse injury' is probably a more immediately obvious term, and given how much time many of us spend using computers, overuse is indeed a risk.

Ergonomics As Customer Focused Risk Management
We often see investment in new working environments, expensive software and equipment wasted, because the real needs of the user and their tasks are not taken into account when the purchase or change is made.

Feng Shui for the Tech Writer's Workspace
It sounds like something from a late-night infomercial: Enhance your productivity by cranking out online help files in half the time! Increase your prosperity by being promoted to head of the documentation department! Improve your interpersonal relations so that Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are just waiting to review your documents. Ensure a long and healthy life, despite the stress of vaporware product launches! If an advertisement lurking in your emailbox claimed to have an ancient secret to give you all the above, you'd likely press Delete faster than you can say 'looming deadlines.' But what if millions of people--some as well-known and successful as Donald Trump--and major corporations, such as Virgin Airlines, The Wall Street Journal, and Citibank, attested to this 'magic' secret's power? In that case, you just might sit back in your office chair and listen.

How Can the Computer be Harmful to You?
In most of our articles, we discuss the importance of making technologies accessible. While doing so, we talk a lot about compensating for all types of disabilities. However, we'd also like you to know that there is a lot you can do to avoid long-term health issues which would later require you to use technologies for people with disabilities. Below we discuss these computer-related health issues and how you can minimize and avoid their negative effects.

Human Factors and Ergonomics Standards
This page lists the primary standards and guidelines for Ergonomics, Human Factors, User Interface Design, and Website Design.
One of the perennial criticisms of ergonomics consultants is that much of what we say is 'just common sense'. I do not see this as a criticism. Nowadays, there is far too little common sense evident in our daily lives. However, what critics really fail to understand is that what may seem obvious with hindsight was rarely that obvious beforehand.

One-Handed Thumb Use on Smart Phones by Semi-literate and Illiterate Users in India
There is tremendous potential for developing mobile-based occupational productivity tools for semi-literate and illiterate users in India. One-handed thumb use on the touchscreen of smart phone or touch phone is considered as an effective alternative than the use of stylus or index finger, to free the other hand for supporting occupational activity. In this context, usability research and experimental tests are conducted to understand the role of fine motor control, usability of thumb as the tool for interaction and the ergonomic needs of users. The paper touches upon cultural, racial and anthropometric needs related with the topic, which also need due consideration while designing the mobile interface. Design recommendations are evolved to improve overall effectiveness of one-handed thumb use on smart phone, especially for the benefit of semi-literate and illiterate users.

Patterns of Functional Loss Among Older People: A Prospective Analysis
Patterns of capability loss and disability onset among older people were investigated prospectively. With aging, the gap between personal capability and environmental demand becomes wider, resulting in higher levels of disability in daily activities. Data from a longitudinal, population-based study were obtained for analysis, which recruited a representative sample of 13,004 people aged 65 years and older from five sites in Great Britain. Participants completed a baseline interview during 1990 to 1994 and follow-up interviews after 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, and 10 years. Those who reported full vision, hearing, thinking, locomotion, reaching, and dexterity ability as well as no disability in cooking, housework, shopping, and transportation at baseline were included in a survival analysis. Locomotion was the first ability to be lost, followed by reaching, thinking, hearing, vision, and dexterity. Age at onset of disability was earliest for shopping, then housework, transportation, and cooking. Women were consistently younger at capability loss and disability onset than men except in terms of hearing and cooking. These findings suggest that capabilities required for product and service interaction follow a hierarchical pattern of loss, which has practical implications for design. Although interventions to reduce disability in the older population are likely to require changes that address more than one demand, capabilities lost early in old age should take precedence over those lost later. A potential application of this research is in the development of an overall design strategy to enhance older people's ability to live independently.

Statistics and Percentiles in Anthropometry
If you are more than 95th percentile height or less than 5th percentile, we predict that some everyday objects do not always seem quite the right size for you. Just as you were able to compare your height with others in a given population, it is also possible to make such comparisons for other dimensions such as arm length, hand grip span, seated elbow height etc. Those whose build puts them towards the one extreme or the other will be familiar with the problems of using awkward sized objects.

Black tail Reservoir
Share your Story:
This Pic was taken at Black tail reservoir this year. Jake was 8 years old. He gets rather bored if we're not catching a lot of fish. However you can see he was pretty excited about this one. There is such a wide variety of fish to be caught at Black tail. We fish here often due to the large amounts of small mouth bass here.

James Franco and Lindsay Lohan used to be friends - and only friends!
According to the actor, he shot down Lindsay Lohan's advances years back.
"You turned down sex with Lindsay Lohan, didn't you?" Howard Stern asked the actor on his SiriusXM show on Monday. "Back then when she was a lot hotter?"
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan's Mug Shots Over The Years
"Oh, gosh. Poor Lindsay," James said. "I haven't talked to her in a while. . . We were friends."
The "Oz the Great and Powerful" star told Howard that they met thought mutual friends while James was staying at one of Lindsay's favorite Hollywood haunts.
"My house in LA was being redone, so I did this thing where I just stayed at [Chateau Marmont], and she had been living there for a couple years," the actor explained.
PHOTOS: They Dated? Surprising Former Couples!
"And you turned her down sexually?" the shock jock pressed.
"I mean, I don't want to brag about it," James said. "I don't know how that got out."
According to James, he felt like Lindsay's personal troubles would have gotten in the way.
"[She] was having issues even then, so you feel weird," he said of the actress, who is headed to rehab for a 90 day stint. "Honestly, she was a friend. I've met a lot of people that are troubled and sometimes you don't want to do that."
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan: The Early Years
As for James' current love life, it appears he has his sights set on settling down.
"Let's say I'm dating," he told Howard. "I'm getting older. I would like a long-term relationship."

The analysis may have been sound, and the followers, 134,000 or so, who could have seen the tweet Thursday may have even agreed.
What was surprising was the source.
A message posted to the official Twitter account of the Utah Jazz had weighed in on the firing of Brooklyn coach Avery Johnson and a possible successor. Mid-day Friday, the Jazz released a statement saying a team employee no longer had access to the account and faced further internal discipline.
"Phil Jackson won't go to Brooklyn," the tweet said. "He'll only go somewhere he can win a title. Not interested in good players, he wants great players."
Jackson, the former Chicago and Lakers coach, has been rumored as a possible successor to Johnson.
The tweet was quickly removed from the feed, which is generally reserved for team updates. A spokesman said the Jazz's marketing department operates the Twitter account, but declined to say how many people have posting privileges.
In the statement the team said, "The Jazz does not comment on other NBA teams transactions and furthermore, does not condone any negative comments about players, coaches, or front office staff throughout the league. It is simply unprofessional and unacceptable."
A Nets blog, Nets Take Over, posted a screen shot of the tweet, and wondered if the comment was a shot at former Jazz point guard Deron Williams, now in Brooklyn. Williams publicly panned Johnson's offense last week when the Jazz were in Brooklyn, saying he was more comfortable in the Jazz system.
Swell news for Williams
For Mo Williams and The Great Thumb Affair of 2012, the focus has turned to swelling, which Williams said has mostly subsided. Sidelined for the third straight game Friday with a severely sprained thumb, Williams now looks toward a possible re-evaluation when the team returns from Los Angeles next week.
"Still got some pain in it," he said, "a lot of pain. I wouldn't be able to catch a ball, stuff like that yet."
Williams aggravated the thumb, which he sprained earlier in the season, on Dec. 22 in Miami as he defended a play where Mario Chalmers drove the lane.
The last week the Jazz co-captain has been reduced to spectator.
"The most frustrating thing is you see your teammates out there playing and fighting," Williams said. "And good or bad you can't go out there and help."

Washington, D.C. - Today, the President and Vice President spoke to the Nation announcing 23 new executive actions and comprehensive legislation on gun control.
I believe in working with my colleagues in Congress towards a stronger, safer America, but not in a way that would infringe upon our God-given rights as protected by the Constitution. The President himself admitted that stricter gun laws will not stop these evil acts from occurring. Restricting the rights of law abiding citizens only reduces their ability to protect themselves, and will in no way deter those who act completely outside the law.
I am open to discussing formative legislation that will help protect the public from dangerous criminals, but I will not stand for diminishing our 2nd amendment rights.

The Excel Revolution: Your New Role in the Age of Data
Speaker: Rob Collie
Business Intelligence, Big Data, and Data Science: when we hear those terms, our first feelings are often things like "cutting edge," "business critical," and "exciting." But those terms also evoke words like "expensive," "arcane," and "specialized."
The surprising truth, however, is that the Age of Data will NOT be dominated by data specialists operating in their ivory towers. It will instead be dominated by a new breed of business specialists, and by the organizations that best learn to empower them.
By introducing tools like Power Pivot – industrial strength data crunching power aimed at Excel users - Microsoft has changed the rules of the game forever. Initiatives that used to be six-figure, six-month projects can now be executed in days, and for zero additional spend, while paradoxically delivering a higher quality of result.
In this introduction to the user group, Rob Collie, a former engineering leader at Microsoft and a leading proponent of this revolution, will:
- Explain what defines an "Excel pro" today
- Demonstrate the tools that will change the lives of Excel pros forever
- Expose the "dark matter" secret at the heart of the revolution, and why communication cost is the bottleneck
- Draw a roadmap for Excel pros to take their place in the revolution and achieve more rewarding careers
- Likewise draw a roadmap for organizations to develop and empower this new breed of specialist, thereby seizing a decisive competitive

Will 1976-81 firebird rear bumpers fit my '75 without trouble?
I was looking over my '75 formula today, and noticed my little rubber bumpers were getting pretty worn out. I always thought they were ugly anyways, so I got to thinking, maybe a rear bumper from a later second gen would work just fine. I'm pretty sure theyre interchangeable, but I wanted to know for sure.
Another thing, my front bumpers pretty worn out too... My uncle has the front bumper from a '75 Camaro, and I was wondering if it would fit my car without much trouble... A solid metal bumper painted to match the body seems like it could turn out quite nice.
I put a 81 bumper on a 78 with no trouble. The tail lights are a different story. The quarters are the same and the bumpers line up. The tail lights may or may not. I chose to change my tails for a newer look. But it was 15 years ago.

DVD reviews: 'Bad Words,' 'The Raid 2,' and 'Jodorowsky's Dune'
"Bad Words" (2014, R, 89 min., $29.98) Jason Bateman makes a successful feature-length directorial debut with "Bad Words," a dark comedy about a 40-year-old man who enters a national spelling bee because he wants to publicly humiliate the gentleman who runs it. Bateman also plays the lead role of Guy, a professional proofreader who takes advantage of loopholes in the spelling bee's rules to gain entrance. No one knows why Guy is going through with it, but he's promised his story to a reporter (Kathryn Hahn) who's traveling with him. Guy has a real talent for spelling, but he faces a tough road to the finals, what with the enraged parents, embarrassed spelling bee coordinators and a sudden friendship with one of the contestants (Rohand Chand). Written by Andrew Dodge, also making his debut as a screenwriter, "Bad Words" has a good share of uncomfortably funny moments, not to mention a lot of heart in a well-told story. Everything comes together in an original comedy that's definitely worth a look. Standard DVD and Blu-ray packages feature commentary with Bateman and a handful of deleted scenes. A making-of featurette that explores the production of the film is worth a look. 3 Stars.
"The Raid 2" (2014, R, 150 min., $30.99) In 2012, "The Raid: Redemption" knocked action movie fans off their feet. The hard-punching Indonesian picture gained plenty of praise for director Gareth Huw Evans. So when it was announced that "The Raid 2" was due out in 2014, there was plenty of excitement. Evans had more money to make "The Raid 2," and what he delivered was the same kind of action as its predecessor, but with a more expansive plot. The feature has super cop Rama (Iko Uwais) going undercover to expose a crime syndicate that has police officers and politicians entangled. Rama does a prison stint to gain some street cred, and then starts working for the son of a mob boss. Rama gets inside and learns the business, and that's when things get dangerous. "The Raid 2" isn't as fast-paced as the original, but it allows for more character development. It's all good, as Evans' film plays out like an excellent crime saga with indelible action sequences. Choreography and fight featurettes are exclusive to Blu-ray sets, along with a special deleted scene. An interview and commentary with Evans are available on standard DVD and Blu-ray packages, along with a featurette on shooting a sequel. 3.5 Stars.
"Jodorowsky's Dune" (2013, PG-13, 90 min., $40.99) Alejandro Jodorowsky's big-screen adaptation of Frank Herbert's science-fiction classic "Dune" could have been one of the biggest films ever made. Unfortunately, the cult film director never really got the chance to follow through. Frank Pavich's brilliant documentary covers the doomed production of Jodorowsky's film. As a filmmaker behind offbeat midnight movie classics like "El Topo" and "The Holy Mountain," the director set a goal to make "Dune." Acquiring a cast that included Mick Jagger, Salvador Dali, Orson Welles and David Carradine and production talent like H.R. Griger, Dan O'Bannon and Jean Giraud, Jodorowsky was all set to go. Then, there was really no interest from Hollywood in making the film. Pavich does a fantastic job of telling the story, mixing in interviews from all the key players and materials from the problematic project. This is certainly one of the better documentaries from the last few years. Special features are just OK, and include only deleted scenes in Blu-ray and standard DVD packages. However, there are a fair amount of deleted scenes, amounting to more than half an hour. 3.5 Stars.
"Nymphomaniac: Vols. I and II" (2013, NR, Vol. I: 117 min., Vol. II: 124 min., $26.98) Controversial director Lars Von Trier's latest drama tells the story of Joe, a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac. The two-part feature is not for everybody, based on its abundance of explicit scenes. The cast includes Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgard, Uma Thurman and Shia LaBeouf.
"Stage Fright" (2014, R, 88 min., $26.98) Jerome Sable wrote and directed "Stage Fright," described as a musical thriller. The backdrop is a performing arts camp, and it's being terrorized by a brutal killer who hates musicals. It follows a teen (Allie MacDonald) who has aspirations of performing on Broadway, but her first role's cut short by the killer.
"The Class of '92" (2013, NR, 99 min., $19.99) With the World Cup capturing just about everybody's attention, it's a perfect time to catch up on some soccer history. Benjamin and Gabe Turner's documentary follows the rise of six incredible soccer players, including David Beckham and Nicky Butt, and their time with the legendary Manchester United.
"Kid Cannabis" (2014, NR, 110 min., $24.98) Based on a true story, "Kid Cannabis" tells the tale of Nate Norman, an Idaho teen dropout who put together a million-dollar marijuana business with a few of his pals. Working with a deadly dope czar and a former government grower, the boys get in over their heads running drugs across the Canadian border.
"Watermark" (2013, PG, 92 min., $24.98) Jennifer Baichwal, Nick de Pencier and Edward Burtnynsky follow up their successful 2006 documentary "Manufactured Landscapes" with "Watermark," a film that explores our relationship with water. The doc tackles stories from around the globe, using beautiful shots to detail our ties to this great resource.
"Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa .5" (2014, NR, 76 min., $15.99) Following in the footsteps of Johnny Knoxville's 2013 hit "Bad Grandpa," this second helping includes a whole new collection of pranks, gags and stunts. Basically, all of the stuff cut from the original film is here, including hilarious performances from Spike Jonze and Catherine Keener.
"Ragamuffin" (2014, PG-13, 96 min., $19.99) Contemporary Christian music singer and songwriter Richard Mullins is the focus of this moving film written and directed by David Schultz. The picture details the upbringing of Mullins and his meteoric rise to stardom. Once on top, the singer walked away from all the fame to live on a Navajo reservation.
"Rigor Mortis" (2013, NR, 105 min., $24.98) A washed-up actor at the end of his rope moves into a darkly depressing apartment complex where he attempts to end it all. He's stopped by his uncle, but his dark thoughts have awakened some of the sinister spirits that reside in his new place of residence. Now, he has a whole new problem on his hands.
"Wings: Sky Force Heroes" (2014, PG, 84 min., $19.98) A sequel to the 2012 high-flying animated tale "Wings," this next adventure has a cocky young hero named Ace finding a new adventure when a fire breaks out at the mines he's working in. Voice talent for "Wings: Sky Force Heroes" is provided by Josh Duhamel, Rob Schneider and Hilary Duff.
"Helix: The Complete First Season" (three discs, 13 episodes, $55.99)
"Walker, Texas Ranger: One Riot One Ranger" (1993, NR, 94 min., $14.99)

Replacing cedar shingle roofs. Need help!
We recently had some bad storms go through our area (VA). We had severe winds, hail, trees down, etc.. We have a barn, garage, and barn, which all have cedar shake shingle roofs. The roofs are about 15 y.o.. The barn had a large white oak go through the top of it, and all three suffered hail and wind damage. The insurance company is only paying to repair the damage. Every contractor that has come out to give an estimate, has said that the roofs are within just a few years, if that, of needing replaced. So, I have decided to go on and replace the roofs. The next thing, is that I have received bids for all different roofs. I've decided to get away from cedar shingles, due to cost and maintenance. I have quotes for GAF, CT, IKO, TAMKO, cedar, and metal. Because I've previously have had cedar, I was looking at CT Solaris, which reflects the solar rays, and is cooler. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Am I heading in the right direction??
The SRI (Solar Reflectance Index) numbers are great on the Certainteed solar reflective products, but they come at a cost premium.
Whether or not they would serve any benefit or should even be worth the expense depends on your attic and roof style.
Can you post some pictures or tell us more about the home in general?
Have you looked at any of the metal products that look like shakes? You home is going to loose a decent bit of it aesthetic appeal (what that is worth depends on the set of eyes looking at it) when you got to asphalt.
While metal is a premium over asphalt, it is worth it to quite a few customers.

I am including pictures of the house, garage, and barn. The house was built in 1978, the barn shortly thereafter, we purchased the property in 1986. The garage and all 3 cedar shake roofs were put on in 1997. All three structures all stained cedar siding. They were also damaged by the hail, (the pic of the garage shows one side that was), and they are all going to be power washed and restained. They are overdue.
I would make the argument with the insurance adjuster or inside adjuster that due to the age and overall condidition of the cedar shake roof a repair is not possible and a full replacement is the only option. Worked several claims for insureds were they are first offered a repair or half a roof only and they end up getting a whole roof.
Of course with cedar shakes being fairly expensive insurance companies will try to repair before replace.
Last time I spoke with my CT rep about the Solaris brand was told the only way to purchase was by the semi load or 160 some squares... They are also very expensive!
If you want to put on one last roof just go standing seam. Of course hail will damage it but it's rare for hail to damage it so it's water shedding capabilities are effected.
Good Luck!
I am still in discussion with the insurance company on the roofs, as well as other things. Hopefully, we can get enough to help cover putting on vew roofs, and it will be the last roof that I put on. Given the style of the house and other buildings, what's your thoughts on how CT Solaris shingle would look?
I am not sure it would really fit the look of the home.
That is just my opinion but I would hate to see asphalt on that roof where shake looks so at home.
What would you suggest? Replacing it with Cedar Shake?? Cedar shake is much more expensive, and requires a lot more maintenance. I agree with the aesthetics (eye appeal), but it doesn't really help the resale value. And, I am probably looking at putting this property on the market in the next 2-3 years.
Steel shakes.
Decra makes a nice Shake XD.

I always like reading posts about the information found by the company Skyhigh, which looks inside enterprise firewalls to see what apps are really being used. The latest report from Nancy Gohring over at CITEWorld quotes Skyhigh claiming that users are accessing 10 times as many cloud apps as IT thinks.
That's a lot of denial.
The so-called personal cloud services are booming for a reason: They are simple to use, and they let people work in a mobile fashion with greater flexibility than they could before. They're not using these apps to be sneaky or to subvert their employers. They're using public cloud apps because they don't require you to jump through hoops of multiple, slow authentication schemes. They're using cloud apps because they are fast and generally work with most devices.
Can you say the same for your internal apps or corporate network?
The good news is, vendors are stepping up to the plate and starting to develop more ways to bring corporate control to the cloud services already being used. One interesting announcement today has our site sponsor Citrix making its ShareFile service more Microsoft-friendly by adding integration with SharePoint and supporting the ability to store data on Microsoft's Azure service. We've also heard noise from suppliers like Box and DropBox about making their services easier to manage from an enterprise IT standpoint.
There have been headlines about some firms banning the use of such consumer online services, but I don't think those kinds of actions will hold water for long. Are you a cloud controller or a cloud embracer? Which do you think you will be 5 years from now?

Currently stationed at Scott Air Force Base near St, Louis, Missouri, Lieut. Col. Pat Castle wanted to combine his love of athletics with pro-life work. In conjunction with his friend, Rich Reich from Patrick Air Force Base in Florida, he founded LIFE Runners (LIFE stands for "Living In Faith Exchange").
The group's 154 members, located in the U.S. and abroad, participate in one half or full marathon a year. Money raised supports women experiencing unplanned pregnancies.
In addition, LIFE Runners also serves as a self-help group of sorts. Members support one another through grueling marathon training. As Castle explained to National Review columnist Kathryn Jean Lopez, "Training for marathons requires great discipline…and affords quiet time for prayer."
Inspired by Castle's enthusiasm, Lopez observes, "Any of us, runners or not, can work harder to apply what we say we believe in practical ways. People who say they support life can challenge themselves to make that a daily and real activism—looking for ways to support women and children and families."
Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. (Jeremiah 1:5)
Guide us, Creator, to find ways to support the value of life.

Jaden Smith
Teaming up for a fancy fashion fete, celebrity siblings came out for the 2016 MET Gala in New York City on Monday night (April 2).
Always up for some red carpet action, Kylie Jenner and her sister Kendall Jenner got all gussied up for the star-studded shindig.
Jaden Smith has been introduced as the new face of Louis Vuitton.
The fashion house's creative director Nicholas Ghesquiere announced the news via Instagram on Saturday (January 2), revealing Jaden Smith will front the company's Spring/Summer 2016 womenswear collections.
Growing up as the offspring of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Jaden Smith definitely experienced a unique childhood, and his new GQ interview is nothing short of fascinating.
The "Karate Kid" hunk spoke of both his own life and that of his sister Willow Smith- "Me and Willow are scientists, so everything for us is a scientific test upon humanity. And luckily we're put in a position where we can affect large groups of human beings at one time. It's fun, bro. That's what a lot of people don't realize. It's fun. It's so much fun. It's the best thing."
Looking to change things up a bit, Kendall Jenner and her buddy Jaden Smith rented Citi Bikes and cycled around Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon (June 16).
The 19-year-old "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star wore her gym attire as she pedaled herself around the trendy SoHo neighborhood as shutterbugs snapped up photos.
With two famous parents and DNA chock full of creativity, Willow and Jaden Smith were bound for stardom before they were even born.
In a recent interview with the New York Times, the "Whip My Hair" singer and the "After Earth" star discussed their view on art and career.
They may not be able to legally purchase alcohol, but the guys and girls on Time's 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014 are making a difference in their world.
The newly-released list cites reality stars Kendall and Kylie Jenner, "Mad Men" actress Kiernan Shipka and "Royals" songstress Lorde as some of the youngsters creating a cultural stir these days.
Relaxing with friends, Jaden Smith and Moises Aries hung out together in Calabasas, CA on Monday night (July 21).
The young Hollywood duo chatted it up with plenty of pretty ladies as they rocked matching dreadlocks and goofed around on the outdoor patio.
Stepping out for some delicious eats, Kylie Jenner and Jaden Smith met up at a Calabasas, California restaurant on Tuesday night (July 15).
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" dame wore a striped dress and black jacket as she arrived to see her guy pal, who showed off his muscular physique in a pair of spandex shorts.
She's never been too traditional and Kris Jenner didn't mind in the least when Jaden Smith wore a non-conventional getup to her daughter Kim Kardashian's wedding last month.
While chatting with HuffPost, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" mastermind declared that the "After Earth" stud's Batman costume was actually pretty great.
He's always on the go these days, and on Friday (May 23) Jaden Smith showed up at LAX International Airport to find fans and paparazzi eagerly waiting.
The "After Earth" actor kept a cool attitude and scurried through the terminal wearing an all-black ensemble.

Carrier Hot Surface Ignitor
I was working on a 90 Plus Propane gas furnace, The original complaint was that the blower motor was running constantly, but no heat. The induction motor was not running and I ordered a new board for it and stilll no induction motor. I diconnected the high limit switch and now the blower motor and the induction motor comes on but the hot surface ignitor never gets hot. I have checked line voltage at the male/female connector and their is no voltage present. Question # 1 Why does the blower run constant and Question #2 Why does the hot surface ignitor not get hot..... I have also made sure the t stat is set to auto and not on.... Thanks in advance cause this is driving me crazy.....:eek:
He knows the answer, as do I , but maybe you're getting in over your head?
LP is even more hazardous a than NG.
Can you tell me what the sequence of operation is? Might be helpful.
Do you have voltage where it needs to be? Did you have voltage to the original motor? From the board you replaced?????:whistling2:
LMFAO at you too. I am in a warm house....:laughing:
Okay, I feel a bit sorry for him and will help. You have the limit switch disconnected so what do you think it does? It turns off the burner when the furnace gets too hot. Check if you are getting 24 volts from G to C on the board. If you are then the fan will run all the time and the tstat may be faulty or you got a short. Try do some research into furnace sequence of operation instead of parts changing and your life will get easier.:yes:
If the wiring diagram is there on the back of the door carefully study it and see where the limit switch is. Uusally the induction motor won't run if the limit is open but some of the older units where wired differently and it may be in series with the gas valve and igniter. Patience my friend will get you there.
I have checked, both the limit switch/rollout switch and the High Limit for the fan. and both of them Ohmed out. And yes to the other Jack Wagon's on here I know the start the sequence of operations. What really crazy is its been about two years since I have been on this site and nobody gave me a hard time, my how times have changed. Mostly people on here would give all kinds of good Ideas, not negative statement. Once again Thankyou Yuri. As a matter of fact I remember your username and I believed you have answered alot of my questions in the past. I went under a different username back then though.

Navigation on my XLR
I just purchased an 08 XLR and would like to obtain the latest version Navigation disk. I called the number on my disk (25861392 ver 7) and was told that 2009 was the last update and was told that they wanted $199 for the 2009 (Ver 9) disk. I find this totally outrageous for a high end car. Does anyone have an updated disk available or a better solution to offer?
Thanks, Bill V

Re: Navigation on my XLR
I am having an identical experience with a newly purchased 2004 XLR! Will watch for any help you may uncover.

Re: Navigation on my XLR
It is what it is. The XLR was discontinued five years ago. GM isn't obligated to support any vehicle not in production with updated software or firmware, or hardware. Unless it's a safety/liability issue, there's no profit in it.
You can pay the $199 for the last updated disk or spend the money on a Garmin or similar GPS which can be updated online. I use both, not because the roads I travel aren't on my nav disk, but because there's more (and current) information available on my Garmin. I'm able to update it for free, online too. Nav disks are the least of our worries. Wait until you need out-of-stock parts replaced to keep the car running. It's already starting.

Like what?
It uses the same lh2 that the STS and srx used. Parts are readily available for that motor.
Re: Navigation on my XLR
It takes more than an engine to keep a vehicle in proper operating condition. The 4.6l N* isn't the issue. XLR-specific parts are. There are modules on six-month back order, among other things. The 1st Gen STS and SRX had much higher build rates, and have larger part inventories as a result. Total XLR production was around 15k.
Most of said modules are shared with the vette power train is STS/SRX. Only things really xlr exclusive other than trim panels are the top. None of that prevents it from running. Still see Allantes and they are far rarer.

|Quinton Andrews
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Quinton Andrews figured the best way for him to stay focused and become the best football player he could possibly be was to go far away. That's why the Opa Locka, Fla., resident signed with West Virginia University instead of such in-state schools like Florida, Miami or Florida State.
"My mindset was to get away," he said recently. "It has turned out pretty good. I made the decision to come up here and I can just focus on what I have to do."
Morgantown, W.Va., doesn't quite have the diversions a place like Miami offers, where Hurricane football players sometimes have a difficult time resisting the local temptations. Just the other day a Miami football player was shot in the buttocks after being involved in a disturbance in South Miami.
"The guys that stay home sometimes don't have the self-control to keep out of trouble," said Andrews, sporting a new mountain-man bearded look. "There are other guys that just want to have fun and that will also get them into trouble.
"I sometimes think about what I could be doing back home, but I also think that I'm up here for business to become a better player and help my teammates win," he said. "This is something I like doing and it's for a good cause."
Andrews, a rock-solid 5-foot-11-inch, 205-pound freshman safety, is giving those close to the Mountaineer program cause to rejoice.
Andrews was easily the most impressive newcomer last spring, his bone-crushing hits reverberating throughout Milan Puskar Stadium. People are still talking about a one-on-one encounter with Owen Schmitt when Andrews actually got the better of the burly 250-pound fullback.
Schmitt is now a believer, labeling Andrews the one player in the program that is going to surprise people this fall.
"That makes me feel good, especially knowing that it is coming from a player like Owen," Andrews said. "When I was on scout team I always went up against Owen and we had a couple of encounters."
Andrews fits in well with a West Virginia program full of competitive athletes. What is starting to set this program apart from others is just how competitive things can get sometimes.
"Everything we do here is competitive," Andrews says. "We get after each other and try to do our best in everything – even it it's coming to the weight room and lifting weights or running sprints. We're always trying to bring the best out of each other."
Andrews will be locked in a competitive battle with senior Abraham Jones for the starting free safety job. If Andrews wins it, he will give the Mountaineers a 205-pound guided missile in the secondary. Mountaineer coach Rich Rodriguez, a head-hunter in his own right during his WVU playing days, likes his safeties big and mean. Andrews fits the bill.
Once during skeleton drills in the spring a charged-up Andrews delivered a big shot on starting quarterback Pat White that got both the offensive and defensive players going at each other. Andrews had forgotten that White was wearing a no-contact yellow jersey.
"That was my fault," he said. "I shouldn't have done that."
And while Rodriguez isn't too keen on Andrews laying out his starting quarterback, he doesn't mind his freshman laying out opposing wide receivers this fall. Despite trimming down 10 pounds from 215 to 205, Andrews believes he will be able to generate even more force when he hits people this year.
"The hit is more about momentum," he says. "As long as I can bring more force, more power and more speed into a hit, I think I will be able to deliver a better blow."
|Freshman Quinton Andrews has already developed a reputation for being a big hitter.
All-Pro Photography/Dale Sparks
Because Andrews is so keen on hitting, he sometimes gives up an opportunity to go for the interception to instead get in the big kill shot. He says it's an instinctive thing.
"You have to think about it, but when you get real good at the position making that decision becomes second nature," he said. "It happens so fast and you're really not thinking; you're basically reacting."
Andrews is young for the position, only playing two years of safety in high school and spending last year as a redshirt freshman behind senior Jahmile Addae.
"I really didn't know that much (about the position)," Andrews said. "I just played off my athletic ability.
"I was able to make plays but I really didn't know a lot of keys. My high school defensive back coach taught me a couple of things but with high school a coach really doesn't have enough time to sit there with one player. Now that I'm in college I had Jahmile and now Coach (Tony) Gibson who can talk to me."
Like all young safeties, he must by mindful of his keys so that he doesn't get sucked up into thinking a play is a run when it is actually a pass. If a receiver gets behind Andrews, he's behind everybody.
"You get your run read and some offensive linemen are good at giving you a run read and it's actually a pass," he admitted. "You see it happen before it happens so you can get them before they get into the open field trying to be real eager to make a play. That is something all defensive backs have to work on."
Andrews says if he guesses, he better guess correctly.
"You've got to be 99 percent sure that your guess is right," he said. "You're the last guy and if they get past you it's six points. There is no room for missed guesses."
Because he's inexperienced, Andrews is going to make mistakes and there may be times when he blows coverages and he lets receivers get open. But the upside of what he brings to the table – his exceptional size, instincts, athletic ability, speed and willingness to hit – outweighs any inexperience he presently has.
"The corners have come up to me and told me that they have a better chance of being more aggressive if they know I'm over top and they can make a play on the ball," Andrews said. "The linebackers have told me that if someone gets past them by mistake they know I'm back there to make a tackle.
"That kind of gives me a little confidence when I heard that they have confidence in me for playing the safety position."

Curly underneath, Straight on Top!
Hi! I'm new here because I googled my problem and it took me here!
My hair has always been naturally curly. It's diminished in curl over the past few years. I used to be a solid 2b but then it went through a few phases of not wanting to curl after a short haircut. Now that it's growing out and I've challenged myself to not straighten my hair for a month, the curl is returning.
However, it's returning in weird places. The back of my hair is extremely curly. Definitely a 2b. However the front of my hair is maybe a 2a possibly even just straight. It lies flat and with a little bit of hairspray will create volume, but definitely not curl.
Does anyone else have this problem? I love the curl in the back but can't seem to get it to happen everywhere. I usually end up waving the front a bit with my straightener to make it look more even.
I use Tresemme Shampoo and only condition every other wash (I wash every other day). I use Aussie Curling Mousee, Big Sexy Hair mousse, and a dot of a thick gel. It starts off kinda crunchy while it's drying but softens out during the day.
Ditto. My hair seems to be curlier on the bottom than the top. Do you ever tie your hair? Maybe it's pulling out your curls? I've also noticed that my hair is curlier when wet, then straightens out when dry. Does your hair do that too? Now, I don't feel so alone.
Just wondering why you condition so infrequently? Curly hair loves moisture!
my hair does this too! 2a on top/in the front, curls up nicely in the back. ugh. so frustrating. sorry, no tips here, i'm new to all this. but thought i'd share my similar experience
My daughter has this issue, super wavy hair underneath a layer of straight hair on top. She is only 5 though so I don't do anything to encourage the top to be wavy and just let it be.
You could try using those curl tubes from Sallys, I forget what they're called, but they're no heat curlers. You put your hair in the tube and it curls it. Maybe if you sleep in them when you wake up in the morning your straight layer will match the rest of your hair? Just a hairspray and go kind of thing? The only other way I know to encourage curl is scrunching or try blending your straight layer with clumps of curly layers and twirling them together to encourage the curls. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do though, like my daughter she's got the top straight layer that makes her hair look straight, but then you pick up that layer and there's all these waves underneath.
This is my hair as well. I would say that it's 3a underneath, 2c in the canopy towards my face, and 2b in the canopy in the back. Frustrating!
Do you people ask your hairdressers to cut accordingly for this? I.e. your canopy needs to be cut a bit shorter than normal because the hair underneath will shrink so much more when drying?

Utah State corner Will Davis had a rough start to his week of practice at the Senior Bowl, but as the days went on, various media observers pointed out that he improved.
He took the biggest step on the last day, getting an interception and returning it 25 yards during the Bowl itself. It was one of the signature defensive plays for the North, which ended up falling 21-16.
Although BYU's Ezekiel Ansah took home top honors as the games' most outstanding player, Davis held his own in competition. Yahoo! took a moment to talk with him after the game.
Utah State cornerback Will Davis not only grabbed an interception and returned it 25 yards, but showed some nice hitting ability for his size (5-foot-11, 182 pounds).
"They wanted us to come out here and be physical," Davis said of the Oakland Raiders' staff, who coached the North team. "That's what they wanted to see, and you're never going to have this experience again."
Part of the experience that helped Davis was that the North cornerbacks were very strong all the way through the lineup. Washington cornerback Desmond Trufant and Florida International safety Jonathan Cyprien had especially strong weeks, and that made Davis and his comrades even more intent on keeping pace.
Many NFL Draftniks concentrate on the padded practices and drills rather than the game itself, which led Eagles' blogger Tony Pauline to label Davis a "Stock down" candidate after some subpar showings early in the week.
Still, Davis is viewed as an early round talent. Packers.com's Vic Ketchman called him one of the top corners in the Draft, and both ESPN and SI.com grade him as a top-100 to top-150 prospect.
Next up: The NFL Combine.

AKM....if you are still around PM me and I will hold your hand through this difficult process. LOL!! BTW, if you have the pics saved as a bitmap (bmp) they will take forever to load then will be too large. You have to save them as a JPG file. Forget the PM, I'll try to walk you thru it here. First off make a folder on your desktop. To do that shrink the Hotrodders screen to half size. To do that click the double square between the - and the X in the upper right hand corner. Now using the mouse, RIGHT CLICK on your desktop. Then click on NEW. Then click on FOLDER. Now name this folder "Pics to Upload". Now enlarge the HotRodders screen to full size by clicking on the square again. Also here is a little tip...if the screen is not maximized just double click the title bar at the very top and it will maximize. OK hold on now here we go. If your pics are not a JPEG here is what to do....
1. Open up Microsoft Paint
2.FILE, OPEN, then at the bottom where it says FILES OF TYPE click on ALL FILES.
3. Double click on the picture.
4 Then FILE, SAVE AS, Save in (scroll thru until you find Pics to Upload) and Save as Type- JPEG File Interchange Format (*.jpg *.jpeg)
Do this for any pic that is not a JPEG. Note that after the first pic you save the others that you click SAVE AS will default to your folder. Just make sure they are JPEG.
Now to Upload Photos
1. Go to the Photo Album
2. Right above the Recent Post pics look to the right where it says UPLOAD PHOTOS and click on that.
3. When that window pops up look to where it says Photo to upload: and click on Browse.
4. When the Choose File window pops up...where it says look in...click on that until you find DESKTOP and click on that, then find the folder PICS TO UPLOAD and click on that.
5. Double click on the pic you want to upload. This should now go back to the Browse and should say C:\ and the name of the pic
6.Now scroll down a little bit and hit UPLOAD/SUBMIT
7. You should now be good to go.
If you have any other questions let me know and I'll see if I can simplify some more. Good luck.

Pre-certification Review
UL's pre-certification review take the guesswork out of designing for compliance and help to streamline the certification process.
Early consultation with a UL technical expert enables businesses to become familiar with the testing program and its requirements and may enable the identification of potential noncompliance issues and other obstacles before they become the source of costly and timely delays.
Pre-certification reviews, also known as gap assessments, Stage 1 assessments, proactive reviews or preliminary reviews, are conducted by UL technical experts early in the design process either at the UL test facility or on site at a manufacturer's facility, typically to assess conformity to applicable standards for the desired markets. This service does not result in a UL certification.
Customers can arrange for a pre-certification review as early as the design concept stage and straight through to the last stages of the product development cycle. UL offers two service options: formal and informal.
Formal pre-certification reviews include a complete engineering evaluation of a product with a comprehensive report of the findings, providing actionable insight into how a product's construction may or may not meet the requirements of all applicable standards.
During an informal pre-certification review, a UL engineer provides expert insight, but no formal documentation (letter report) is issued. Informal pre-certification reviews can be conducted in person, over the phone or online via web chat.
Custom deliverable, depending on customer's needs

In the year the Queen celebrates her Diamond Jubilee, Centre for Cities looked back at the shape of urban Britain in the final year of her grandmother Queen Victoria's reign. What we found was that while the geography of our economy looked very different in 1901, the patterns of city performance that we still see today were already emerging.
The industrial revolution was built on northern powerhouses such as Manchester and Liverpool. By 1901 the industrialised parts of the north and Midlands accounted for nearly 35% of England's population, compared to around 25% today.
Many of our cities in these areas were reliant on heavy industry such as ship building, textiles and dock working. But much of this employment was cyclical and more susceptible to wider changes in the economic climate than other industries. The casual nature of employment in these sectors meant the typical response of employers to downturns was to either cut wages or lay off workers.
With the exception of Blackpool, heavy industry accounted for at least 45% of total employment in every city north of Mansfield. In Bradford it hit 59%, in Middlesbrough 64% and in Burnley it hit a high of 68%. So while heavy industry was a big source of jobs, it did not usually provide stable employment for its workers. Instead, it created periods in and out of employment for many people working in the north.
The reverse was observed in towns and cities in the south of England. These cities were much less reliant on cyclical employers; in Reading just 33% of workers were employed in these industries. Southern cities also had a greater proportion of service jobs and had a higher share of workers in professional occupations. In Bournemouth, for example, there were 10 times the proportion of men employed in professional occupations than in Nottingham.
The industrial profile of the towns and cities in the south meant that they were in a better starting position to adapt to changes in the structure of the national economy throughout the 20th century. Services overtook manufacturing as the largest employment sector as early as the 1920s, and today it accounts for 84% of all jobs in England and Wales. Manufacturing accounts for just 9% of all employment, down from more than 40% in 1901.
The pace of this change varied hugely across cities. In 1901, services were already a bigger employer than manufacturing in Bournemouth. But it wasn't until the 1970s that services employment overtook manufacturing in Rochdale.
Despite these employment trends, UK manufacturing is and will remain important to our economy. It is a big investor in research and development, and some of our manufacturers are world leaders. Nevertheless, looking at urban development over the last century tells us two things about future patterns of economic growth.
First, manufacturing is highly unlikely to be a net contributor to the jobs growth that the country needs. In order to remain competitive in the global marketplace, manufacturing is continually improving in productivity, producing more goods with fewer workers. The UK is not alone here; even Germany has seen manufacturing's share of total employment halve in recent decades in response to global competition.
Second, cities need to continue adapting to changes in the national economy. Many cities have grappled with the impact of structural change in the second half of the 20th century and some of this industrial legacy continues to manifest itself to this day.
The answer is not to attempt to turn back the clock. The assets that helped cities thrive in the 1900s are no longer the economic strengths they were. Instead cities need to focus on the distinctive assets that will help them thrive in a 21st-century economy, and to invest more generally in skills and transport, which our work shows to be important for growth and prosperity in the 21st century.
Looking back at the last 110 years of urban development shows that history matters for a city's economic performance. The challenge for current and future policy makers is to ensure that cities are not beholden to their past, but instead make the most of their assets as they look to the future.
Paul Swinney is an economist who leads on data analysis for Centre for Cities

what is under my carpet ?
My husband and i are in the process of purchasing a house. When we did the walk through we found a small section of the carpet in the closet missing. This was great for us since we were curious if there was hardwood under that white carpet. With a dog and a cat it would bed impossible to keep clean and I love the look and feel of hardwood. Lo and behold, beautiful dark hardwood floors! Upon closer examination there does not seem to be the traditional carpet padding under the carpets. There is some sort of foam board that is 1/4 inch or so in height possibly less. Here are my questions since I can't find the product in my searches.
1. is this peel and stick or nailed in?
2. If peel and stick how the heck would I remove it without damaging the beautiful hardwood underneath ?
3. The contractor we are purchasing from is more than a little shady so did he even use the right product or is it manufactured for a different application ?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
We will need pictures to have any idea. Otherwise, the only idea I can come up with is maybe it is rubber or Kanga back carpet.
Re: what is under my carpet.
I couldn't get a clear picture without ripping up a section of the carpeting and since the house is still a week away from being officially ours I was hesitant.
I checked out the kanga carpet and that isn't what this is. The carpet and foam board are independent of one another.
This is the best I can describe it:
Wood floor on the bottom
A board of some sort, it appears to have a yellow paper cover on the top with blue or green writing (illegible from what little I could see) . The best way I can think to explain it is that it looks like rigid, thin panels that have been adhered to the floor in some way. I was able to see one small area where they had cut a piece of it to fill in a small gap and it seems very stiff and hard, not like traditional carpet padding that you roll. I think it was bought in panels like you would dry wall and cut to fit. I just have no idea what I am dealing with here and without knowing what to call it my research has been fruitless.
Thanks Rusty for your quick response. :)

Red and Black Bean Pies
No pie crusts needed, just prepared polenta slices.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 8
Source: Everyday Food, October 2006
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 scallions, white and green parts separated and thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, in juice
- 1 package (16 ounces) plain prepared polenta, patted dry
- 1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, plus more for garnish (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco
- 1 1/2 cups coarsely shredded pepper Jack cheese (6 ounces)
- Salsa (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium; add white part of scallions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes. Add beans, tomatoes with juice, and 1/2 cup water. As you bring to a boil, mash about 1/4 of the beans with the back of a spoon against side of pan to release starch. Reduce to a simmer; cook until mixture has thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, brush eight 10- to 12-ounce ramekins or custard cups with remaining oil. Slice polenta crosswise into 8 rounds; place 1 round in each ramekin.
Remove bean mixture from heat. Stir in green part of scallions, cilantro, and hot sauce; season with salt and pepper. Spoon bean mixture into ramekins; top each with cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with cilantro, and serve with salsa.
