Bangalore: England captain Nasser Hussain conceded on Tuesday India was firm favourite to win the third and final Test in Bangalore, but warned against ruling his team out."I can't deny India is favourite to wrap up the series, but we will be up there as well," Hussain said ahead of Wednesday's Test on the newly laid wicket at the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore.Hussain's tourists, described as pathetic by former Indian great Sunil Gavaskar after the 10-wicket drubbing in the first Test at Mohali, showed remarkable resilience to draw the second at Ahmedabad last week.England, already without four top stars who chose to skip the tour, suffered a further setback before the Ahmedabad Test when star batsman Graham Thorpe withdrew due to personal reasons."We are a very inexperienced team and this tour is a great learning process for the boys," Hussain said. "I am delighted at the way the team has adjusted together to the conditions, but we all know India holds the aces when it plays at home."We are still in the series only because India did not wrap up the second Test. But now that we have a chance, we should make the most of the opportunities," the England captain said.Hussain believed the new wicket looked similar to the one at Ahmedabad easy paced with slow turn later on. "It should be good for two to three days, and then it will take turn," he said."It is important that we play the first innings well, so that there is no pressure later in the match." The Test will be the first international fixture since the square was dug up in June and re-laid with brick and mortar, adding to the suspense in both camps how it would play over the next five days."It's a sporting wicket," curator Kasturi Rangan said before letting the cat out of the bag, "It will turn from the second day." England will retain the same side that played at Ahmedabad, with off spinner Richard Dawson continuing to provide support to left-armer Ashley Giles.Giles will be encouraged by the fact that during the last Test played at this venue, South Africa's left-arm spinner Nicky Boje grabbed five wickets to lead his team to an innings victory.India will as usual bank on spin twins Harbhajan Singh and Anil Kumble to provide them a 2-0 score line in the series. Kumble needs one more wicket on his home ground to join Australia's Shane Warne, Sri Lanka's Muthiah Muralitharan and West Indian Lance Gibbs as the only spinners in the 300-wicket club.

The news is getting worse and worse on Dennis Pitta by the minute. Based on the latest update from ESPN's Adam Schefter, the clock has struck midnight for the Ravens tight end, who is reportedly out for the season after suffering a dislocated hip in Saturday's practice. Plugged in Ravens beat writer Aaron Wilson tweeted out that no determination on Pitta's status has been made. However, the Baltimore Sun writer also added via a source, "it doesn't look good." Immediate reports after the injury had the pass catcher out for at least Baltimore's season opener against Denver on September 5.
Fantasy Analysis:
No Pitta roaming the middle of defenses is a major blow to the Ravens, who would be without their first and third most targeted receivers from last season's Super Bowl team (Yes, Anquan Boldin had the most passes thrown his way in 2012). Not that Baltimore fans want to hear, this but it would be an even bigger blow to fantasy players seeing as the TE position is already limited with options. Projections put Pitta among the top 6-7, perhaps even a touch better in PPR, but the rankings really fall off after him.
However, not all is last for the Ravens and the fantasy world. Former third-round pick Ed Dickson caught 54 passes for 528 yards and five touchdowns in 2011. With Pitta taking a larger role last season, the 6-foot-4 target worked more as a pass blocker, finishing with 21 receptions in 13 games.
Ironically, veteran Visante Shiancoe visited the Ravens camp on Friday, leading to speculation he could be signed following Pitta's injury. Regardless, he's not of interest for fantasy thinkers.
Come draft day, Dickson won't look like a fantasy starter, but a TE2 candidate, for now. However, there could be more seeing as Baltimore already lacks a viable option opposite Torrey Smith, the one Ravens receiver worth owning. The speedy Deonte Thompson is generating buzz and Jacoby Jones will eventually return to action, but no doubt, the spot is unsettled.
That's probably not a far way to view the Ravens TE situation since Dickson has experience. It's just not looking as nice for fantasy players as it was starting the day.

Part of the latter effort includes the "Sustainable Slopes" program, a voluntary ski industry-sponsored initiative indorsed by 167 of the West's ski areas committed to a vision of self-regulated, environmentally sound development.
Sustainable Slopes follows a national trend toward industrial self-regulation, and is likewise praised as cost-efficient, flexible and capable of promoting "beyond compliance" protections. The program has also been panned by enviro groups claiming it's a "greenwash"—designed to make participating areas appear eco-friendly, but lacking the oversight and performance incentives necessary to force actual change.
Last week, scientists Jorge Rivera and Peter de Leon (of Virginia's George Mason University and the University of Colorado, respectively) published a report in the non-profit Policy Studies Journal slamming ski areas participating in Sustainable Slopes, saying that the compliance of member groups is poor, and that in many cases participating resorts are more environmentally harmful than their non-participating counterparts.
The report, "Is greener whiter? The Sustainable Slopes Program and the voluntary environmental performance of western ski areas," exhaustively researches ski areas and their adherence to the Sustainable Slopes mission of improved environmental integrity. While the report confirms that the program lends authenticity to resort efforts to appear "green" to skiers, it concludes that without deterrents to noncompliance, most Sustainable Slopes resorts have failed to develop environmentally sound growth strategies. (In Montana, Sustainable Slopes participants include Montana Snowbowl, Lost Trail, Discovery Basin, Bridger Bowl, Blacktail, Red Lodge and Big Mountain.)
Enviro-conscious skiers and snowboarders looking to patronize "green" ski areas can skip the industry's line and instead check the rankings applied by the Ski Area Citizens Coalition (www.skiareacitizens.com), a group offering an unflinching assessment of resorts claiming to work toward sustainability.
Hated almost universally throughout the ski industry, SACC's annual reports are regularly bashed by ski area execs—former Big Mountain CEO Michael Collins once described the SACC survey as "pathetic."
Of the Montana areas rated last winter, Montana Snowbowl received the highest score (B), while Big Sky and Big Mountain both received failing grades.

DIY? fix deep scratch on jet black 535i m-sport
Hey all. I had an unfortunate thing happen to my new 535 M Sport the other day. Someone had bumped into my rear bumper and left a very small dent where the screw hit my bumper and then a few other deep scratches. One scratch is particularly deep. Others, as seen in the picture, aren't as bad.
Now...I've taken my car to a few shops and they all want between $450-650 to fix the bumper and get it looking brand new again. However, this involves them taking off the bumper and sanding the whole thing down and then repainting it. To be honest, I am not sure how well they can reattach the bumper and I just feel like my car won't be the same after this. They all claim they can't do anything without removing the bumper because of parking sensors and whatnot. One shop offered to do it for $300 if I spend the time taking off the bumper and just dropping it off at their shop for sanding/painting.
Anyway, here is what I will be doing this weekend. I'm set on this so I am asking for some help and maybe even some talking out of it if the idea is just downright terrible
I plan on getting all the tools necessary to fix the bumper myself. The original paint, the HVLP paint guy, wet sanding, clear coat, etc. The whole 9 yards. My approach would be the following:
1) mask the area off around the scratch so I don't sand/paint the surrounding healthy paint and parking sensors
2) sand the area around the scratches
3) fill the scratches with some sort of a filler (still research this one haha) and hopefully keep applying this and sanding it down until everything is smooth and leveled.
***is there a good/effective/easy way to get rid of this tiny dent? or am i better off filling it with the above filler? ***
4) apply primer, then apply paint as many times as needed, sand it, do it all over again until it looks good
5) apply clear coat
6) wax it/buff it out so it can blend in with the rest of the bumper
Now...the above steps are oversimplified and are much harder than I envision. Could anyone give me any hints/ideas/products I should use? Anything at all that would be helpful?
I am not expecting to make my bumper look amazing and straight out of factory after all is said and done, but I would be happy with a good job...so it is hard to see from a few feet away. I just want the scratches gone so light isn't bent there. Then some touch up paint with a nice clear code and a good polishing job...hopefully will get me looking better than it is now.
Please tell me if I'm crazy for even thinking about doing this. I'm fairly handy with tools as I've been working on cars and truck my entire life, so I know what I'm doing (sort of).
Appreciate all the help, fellas. Thank you!!

I should point out that one shop also offered to fix the whole thing by masking off the sensors and sanding down the surrounding area and then blending it all in with the rest of the bumper. The guy said he can't guarantee the work because the paint might start peeling away because he can't cover the whole bumper and paint won't stick well to where the parking sensors are. He wants $200 for this. That isn't hard to swallow and I thought about doing this...but the whole paint might start peeling away thing is scaring me.
Can I do this and get a desirable result myself? Or should I not even attempt it? That essentially sums it all up
And I do see that there is a STICKY post here about deep scratches...however, the pictures from the original post seem to be gone...I'd love to see the damage and then the results this person got so if anyone has the pictures, I'd greatly appreciate that!

I can understand DIY on an old beater, but doing it on a new car?
Sorry, just pay the pros to do it properly.
You are crazy, I am not quite sure why you think an amateur (no offence) bodge will be better than a professional doing a bodge!
If you want to bodge it then fill in the scratches with some touch up paint, it will cost next to nothing, it will not look great but might be ok on a black car. Worst case you can take it to the shop and let them do it properly.
The other alternative would be to get a SMART repairer to come to your home. If you find a good one they are ex-paint shop people and use the same techniques as a paint shop, the guarantee their work so if it starts to peel they will come back and sort it out. It will only peel if they do not prep it correctly or they fill the gap between the bumper and the parking sensor but a sharp implement around the parking sensor will sort that. I have used SMAT repairer before for minor issues and they have been great.
Thanks for responses, guys. I am not saying/thinking my bodge will be better than that of a professional. I just want to try this out to see how good I can get it, and if I mess up...I'll just take my car to the shop and have them do it.
And they want to sand down half the bumper, no matter how they decide to approach this....and I'm hoping I can get away with sanding down just the part around the scratches.
I really can't see how bad I can mess this up, given it's a black car and given I get the same paint and use a professional gun to paint it and then coat it and buff it out to blend it in with the rest of the bumper. It has to look better than it does now.
Can it be done or no? I want to try...but if it can't be done, then someone please tell me so I don't even waste my time on this. I don't see it being too difficult. I'm not performing heart surgery here
The paint is 2-stages, a base color and then a clear coat on top of it. If you sand down the scratched/scuffed area and paint it with the base, and then the clear coat, you'l have areas where the paint is layered base->clear->base-Clear so you'll have 4 coats of paint and some will have Base-Clear-Clear with 3 coats of paint and it'll all look uneven and probably won't even match!
When the body shop does the repair, they will use a computer and mix up the paint exactly to match your paint. As well they will repair the dents/scuffs on the bumper and completely refinish it. Spending as much as 650 dollars for this at a reputable place isn't unheard of.
If you want to save some money, I suggest you just use some touch up paint and blob it into the affected areas and call it a day. If you aren't happy with it, you can always have it redone professionally since I HIGHLY doubt you have paint spray guns, the mixing tools and refinishing tools that the shops will have.

Chocolate Banana Cream Pie
Excellent My husband and Grandchildren really loved it.
Great pie
I made this pie for my family first and they loved it, then I took it to my company's luau. The head boss raved at how good the pie was and told me he was working on his 3rd slice. My only complaint was that I had a hard time cutting it due to it sticking despite using cooking spray to grease the pan.
cream pie
My sister loved it..
Great Pie
This pie is so good. I used a graham cracker crust instead of the cookie crust--delicious!
I made this pie for my family, and it was declared an instant keeper!

actually, not my idea. that said, i was changing oil on a 08 mercury milan 4cylinder and noticed a out of place plactic tube runnning from the top of the cooling fan to the back of the motor. well, where do you go? right over the heat shield for the top most cat. takes air from the electric fan and pumps it right down the downpipe.
i can think of doing this two ways. mod a existing piece(probably from the same vehicle...ive never seen another that i can remember pre wrx anyway) or install a small 12v fan in the space between timc and right strut tower. i have a bit of room running factory turbo/timc. around town i can see that helping push under hood temps down, but the hot side of the turbo needs to stay hot right? like blanket and shield hot? so the forced air would have to be routed past the turbo and pointed down the back side of the downpipe.
course, this could be solved with a ceramic coated and wrapped grimmspeed downpipe, which is on the list of course. just chewing on ideas whilst working away.

U.S. air raid hits Islamic State in Libya, 43 dead
By Ahmed Elumami and Aidan Lewis
TRIPOLI (Reuters) - U.S. warplanes launched air strikes against a suspected Islamic State training camp in western Libya on Friday, killing more than 40 people, likely including a militant connected to two deadly attacks last year in neighbouring Tunisia.
It was the second U.S. air strike in three months against Islamic State in Libya, where the hardline Islamist militants have exploited years of chaos following Muammar Gaddafi's 2011 overthrow to build up a presence on the southern shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
The Pentagon said it had targeted an Islamic State training camp. The facility in the city of Sabratha was linked to Noureddine Chouchane, a Tunisian blamed by his native country for attacks last year on a Tunis museum and the Sousse beach resort, which killed dozens of tourists.
"Destruction of the camp and Chouchane's removal will eliminate an experienced facilitator and is expected to have an immediate impact on ISIL's ability to facilitate its activities in Libya, including recruiting new ISIL members, establishing bases in Libya, and potentially planning external attacks on U.S. interests in the region," the Pentagon said, using an acronym for Islamic State, also known as ISIS or Daesh.
U.S. officials said Chouchane is most likely dead but White House spokesman Josh Earnest said he could not yet confirm the results of the air assault. He said the raid showed U.S. willingness to fight Islamic State.
"It's an indication that the president will not hesitate to take these kinds of forceful, decisive actions," Earnest said.
In Libya, photos released by the municipal authorities showed a massive crater in grey earth. Several wounded men lay bandaged in hospital.
The mayor of Sabratha, Hussein al-Thwadi, told Reuters the planes hit a building in the city's Qasr Talil district, home to many foreigners. Continued...

It came back to haunt me. When I was one I started to limp and an exam showed an arthritic condition in my front left shoulder. At that age, rest was prescribed - I was an over-the-top tennis ball chaser - and it worked - until recently. I'm now almost nine and the limping is back along with two of those fatty tissue lumps.
First things first: we're tackling the joint problem by eliminating my ball chasing; I'm to take walks instead. Oh,thrill! Then there are the injections Dad has learned to give me for a couple months to improve that squishy liquid between joints to make it less painful to move. I don't care for those at all.
Meanwhile the vet suggested a new med for joint disease. It's a combination joint support to reduce inflammation and discomfort due to normal daily activity without the side effects and worry of affecting the liver or kidneys. At least that what it purports to do; blood tests for kidney and liver functions after prolonged use are not necessary according to the vet and manufacturers. Mom remains a bit skeptical but is willing to try something more gentle than the other things out there on the market.
So now I have rounded up 31 tennis balls and Mom has put them away; I've turned in my frustration to chewing on sticks I find. And we take more walks - that's good. BUT I MISS MY TENNIS BALLS..............
Love, Jesse
Mom thinks I have a minor case of obessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). She always thought so and then read an article in BARk about it and said she was sure glad I didn't have it as bad as many of those dogs. Ok, Ok, so I do get a bit into "Where is my tennis ball? Can we play again with my tennis ball? I know we've done it many times already today but there's still some daylight left. I know your arm hurts and you've gone through several Chuck-Its, but I'd really, really like to play AGAIN. Last time today.Promise. Maybe.
Hey why'd you get a retriever if you didn't want to have sore arms? "
BUT YESTERDAY I had to be rescued when my penchant, ok, passion, for retrieving all the tennis balls I find got me stuck under the back deck and Mom couldn't fine me cause it's all closed in with lattice. I was whimpering and whining as loudly as I could and Mom was calling and walking around and starting to get a bit anxious. Where could I be? After passing me several times without noticing me, a light bulb came on over herhead - you should have seen it. It was really funny. I heard her say," No, there's no way he could get under there, but............" She put her eyes to one of the holes and there I was - hoarding two balls I had taken in with me to protect them so the other three dogs wouldn't DARE get t hem - and trying to get one loose from the frozen ground I ofund under the deck. I CAN do three balls in my mouth at once. But not four.
She walked all around and pouched on the lattice to determine where I in my OCD enthusiasm could possibly have pushed through. She found no loose place. She plowed through a couple feet of snow on the north side, past a giant ice stalagmite, and found a small opening a rabbit could get through.
She called me, but I wouldn't leave those two loose balls behind and besides I couldn't fit through that hole going OUT, only IN. Off she went. Was I to be abandoned?
No, she brought a saw back and cut through the lattice to enlarge the opening, called me over, took the two ballsaway from me told me to FORGET the one frozen to the ground, grabbed me by the collar and pulled. She showed little mercy, I must add. She'd make a terrible nurse. But then she had to pull me UP to get me OUT, so it was kinda hard.
Shaking her head in amazement and worried I'd re-enter to try and extricate the third ball, she found a cardboard box to block the now- larger hole and rolled the now- broken stalagmite of ice to hold it in place - until it melts - which probalby won't be anytime soon.
I heard her say she's going to visit the vet today; hope it's not for some Prozac. Oh, I just heard her tell Zoe it was her turn to be examined by the vet, so I'm safe. I think I'll cool it for awhile............and stay away from under the deck. Or not. Probably not. Definitely NOT. I hear the call even now...
It was routine. A walk to the mailbox located down on the back road. We do it everyday. As we approached there were trees blocking our view of the road itself and there were high piles of snow limiting our view as well. All of a sudden, this large, very large white and black dog with a curly tail with the look of an Akita mix appeared in front of us, staring at us intently.
We were still on our side of the fence and gate and Mom was getting concerned. FOUR dogs - us - against one HUGE dog would not be good. Then the neighbor's dog from across the road appeared near all of us and just stood and stared at the scene - undecided what action to take . Normally, she barks her head off (isn't that a silly metaphor - what dog would actually do that?) to warn away potential visitors. Anyway, she decided to remain quiet and so did we. Actually Mom was the only one making noise, calling us back to her to make a retreat. The big white dog seemed to have a presence about him that none of us wanted to challenge or even investigate. I think he had what they call CONFIDENCE. So much for that walk to the mailbox. On the way back to the house Mom kept muttering lines from some poem about "Two roads diverged in the woods and I , I took the one less traveled by and that made all the difference. " I don't get it. Do you?

Cabana Girl
I love renting little cabanas. The pools are always private, and I hate to have to be nice when I get slicked up in oil and go to the pool. See my waterside fun here in these photos. You can watch me strip off my cute white bikini and oil up. Then I pull out my glass dildo and have a bit of fun in the sun. I get so wet before I ever even get into the water. You can't have fun like this at a public pool. I know you guys wish you were my pool boy and could watch this show. You can see the rest from where you are over at Dream Kelly where things get much hotter.

Target: Simon Coveney, Irish Minister of Agriculture, Food and Marine
Goal: Stop Ireland from opening a cruel live export trade
Many cows are raised for slaughter in Ireland, but they are protected under animal rights laws that regulate their quality of life and ensure a quick, humane death. However, thousands of cows are in danger of being shipped off to a different kind of slaughter in Libya. The Irish government is considering reopening live export trade with Libya and shipping approximately 2,900 cows to northern Africa to face a brutal death.
Not only will the animals be brutally and inhumanely put to death, but they will have to endure a 10-day voyage by boat, in which living conditions are appalling. The animals will be crammed into a tiny space where they will live among their own waste for more than a week, often without sufficient food or water. Since cows are intelligent animals with the capacity to feel fear and anxiety, the journey takes a massive toll on their nervous system and overall wellbeing.
Once offloaded in Northern Africa, the cows will be put to death in a manner that would be illegal in the European Union. Investigations of some of the slaughterhouses in Northern Africa and the Middle East showed animals who were stabbed in the eyes and dragged to their deaths without any attempt to stun the frightened animal. Once Ireland sends a shipment of livestock, it will have no control over the animals' welfare.
Tell the Irish Agricultural Minister to forego live export trading, as it could open the floodgates to more livestock being shipped in the same manner. Irish cattle farmers have been regarded for their humane treatment of livestock and sending the animals to be grotesquely killed would be a massive step backward for Irish farming.
Dear Mr. Coveney,
Live export is a cruel practice that causes animals prolonged suffering. The boat journey alone is a terrifying ordeal that causes undue stress and fear, not to mention the lack of control the government has over that animal's welfare once it is delivered to its final destination. That is why I was disappointed to hear that Ireland is considering opening live cattle trade with Libya.
Not only will the cows be forced to endure a 10-day journey in which they will be crammed onto a ship and living in their own waste, but the standards of care for livestock in Northern Africa are a far cry from those which Irish farmers have worked so hard to uphold. Slaughter houses in that region are known to kill animals barbarically with blunt knives without any attempt to stun them.
Opening live export will set a precedent for future trades, and would be a step backward both for animal rights and Irish cattle farming. The reputation of the industry as well as your nation is at stake if you decide to go ahead with the trade. Please do not approve live export trade, and spare your nation's livestock from an inhumane and disturbing fate.

Local women wrap-up typhoon donation pick-ups
Desert Humblebees receive incredible response of donations, no longer offering pick-ups
CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. - UPDATE: The Desert Humblebees in Cathedral City will no longer be "picking up" or accepting donations for their Philippines donation drive, due to the incredible amount of calls and difficulty to pay for the gas to get to every donor across the desert.
The Humblebees will deliver the donations they've collected to board a Long Beach cargo ship on Sunday, Nov. 24.
The Humblebees thank the community for their support and hope to provide clothing and warmth to the thousands of people affected by the typhoon.
ORIGINAL STORY: Sifting through plastic bags of donated goods, six best friends in Cathedral City are teaming up to help those whose livelihoods were swept away by Typhoon Haiyan.
"It's sad knowing one day you can have your home, the next day everything is gone," said Janette Orozco, of Cathedral City.
They call themselves the "Desert Humblebees" and they're collecting clothes, shoes and blankets for men, women, infants and children. The group decided it wanted to do more to help locals help the Philippines.
"Let's make it convenient for people that don't have the time to drop it off at my house or their house, and we'll just pick it up," said Racquel Ruiz, of Cathedral City.
Donating is as easy as packing up any new or used items of yours in bags or boxes and simply placing them on your driveway for pickup. All the Desert Humblebees need is your name, number and address and they will designate a time to come to you.
The drive is now picking up speed after posting a flier around town and blasting it over social media.
"We initially thought it was going to be just us and our families," said Ruiz. "Then we put it on Instagram and instantly got hits. People said, 'I have boxes. I'll send you my address.'"
The women will then deliver the items to Long Beach. The items will board a cargo ship headed straight to the Philippines.
"I love the feeling that people are coming together around the whole Coachella Valley," said Orozco. "People that I don't even know are reaching out to me through text messages and email. It feels great that we get to help out a foreign country."
You can also make monetary or gas card donations to the Desert Humblebees to assist the group with their pickups and the final delivery of the items.

choosing right bulb and trim kit combo for recessed
hope this is the right forum:
a bit frustrated yesterday after trying to fasten trim kit to recessed can. I chose the "open" style http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...015+502806+491
because i thought it would be a bit more forgiving to slide a half inch to left or right to cover my not-so-great hole cutting capability. the problem with this trim is that it uses SPRINGS to fasten it to the inside of the can and the springs PULL THE CEILING TILE UP out of the grid. clearly this style is meant for sheetrock and not ceiling tile.
So i tried lowering the can down to be flush with the tile so the springs can't pull it up, but now my "long" bulbs hang down too far? Clearly the amateur in me didnt know the pre-planning involved in my bulb and trim kit combo choosing. Am i forced to choose a "baffle" trim kit http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...015+502806+491
with ceiling tiles? But i think if i use this trim then i need to get "short" bulbs. So now my dozen long bulbs are useless?
Man, i thought i was a pretty hand desk-job type of guy but this trim kit issue has me regretting this ceiling tile project. ugghh..
And lastly if someone has some tips on a trim kit that is a bit "wider" to cover some errant hole cutting (i was in a rush to get done before carpet guys came) i would be indebted to you.
As always.. much respect to the pros.
Those links don't work so I can't see exactly what you have. But in most recessed lights, the bulb socket is adjustable when using an open trim. There should be a small wingnut on the inside of the can you can loosen.
Lay the can flat on the ceiling tile. :jester:
There apparently are a lot more things to these lights than first appear. I was reduced to throwing away the metal ring, springs, etc. I cut the hole a little large, then I used the metal clips enclosed in the bag which lowed the can enough to be flush with the ceiling. I then used a screw through each clip to secure the can. Lucky I was using 1/4 paneling on the ceiling so the cans could be attached and pulled down hard. Didn't have small enough screws, so I used 1"in drywall and cut off the protusion with my Dremel tool.

There's no denying that Beyonce and Jay-Z form one powerhouse couple and now Vogue Italia is claiming the same. They recently named the artists, who've been married for three years, "THE Iconic Pop Couple."
"Beyoncé and Jay-Z are an 'aristocratic' couple: no scandals, very little gossip, low-key profile (that is, as low as the profile of a man with a penchant for gold chains can be...) buckets of happiness and any 'dirty linen' – if there is any dirty linen at all – rigorously 'never washed in public' but kept private," the magazine says. "A rare example of extraordinary grace and composure even, and most of all, compared to those couples who are aristocratic by birth."
Do you agree with Vogue Italia that Jay and Bey are the fiercest It couple right now?

Recently my company bought new computers and I am wanting to get y'alls opinions on if I will need to do further upgrading of my new system for MS Visualizations that I will be doing.
The project that I will be working on will be a New Highway (we have a 5 mile stretch) with one interchange. The visualization will be 3D with a drive through of the 5 mile section that we have.
Computer Profile:
Windows 7 (64-bit)
Intel Xeon Quad-Core 2.80 gig-hertz (W3530)
Memory: 12 GB
Card: NVIDIA Quadro FX 580 (Memory Size: 512 MB, Memory Interface: 128-bit,
Memory Type: GDDR3)
After reading the Microstation V8i System Requirements and Hardware Recommendations page I am beginning to think that my new computer is grossly unequipped to handle the 3D visualization.
My questions to y'all is based upon your experience do I need to upgrade my computer hardware? If yes then what would be the minimum upgrade (just enough upgrade to make working livable), mid-level upgrade (important upgrades that would improve my computer so that I will not see much of a slow down), and maximized upgrade (what it would take to optimize my computer but does not include all the extra bells and whistles that are nice but would not necessary)? I know I could follow the Bentley (best of the best) recommendations but being the private consultant world my company will not pay for the best of the best. I am really needing to know several options that I can take to my company to show them the cost of upgrades.
I think the setup you have is fine. You have to remember that your drivethrough isn't rendered in real time - you click to build it, then your computer chugs away for awhile before it's finished. So maybe the dual socket xeon with 24GB could build it during lunch instead of overnight, but maybe not. You just need to plan on building the drivethrough as few times as possible, preferably overnight while you're relaxing at home.
In reply to Tim Clark:
engregenold -
I just ordered a Dell Precision T7500 workstation for rendering, with dual Xeon X5680's and 48 GB of RAM. If you like, when it arrives I would be happy to render a scene of your choosing and report the rendering time to allow you to compare it to what you have. It probably won't help much in terms of knowing which pieces provide the best bang for your buck, but it would provide an overall picture of exactly what the difference is between your kit and the 'best of the best'.
I simply went off the recommendations from the page you linked, and went high-end since I ran into some issues with large TINs and large aerials that I was trying to drape onto them.
Should be here in about a week.
MicroStation 08.11.09.714 & GEOPAK 08.11.09.845
In reply to Adam Wuellner:
Your config is not bad, if you know there are large models, expand the memory, if you need to render faster get another CPU, Windows 64 is a must.
I would have chosen another grafic, but it depends on your needs and money, a 2GB card can utilize more memory to hold textures when working in shaded modes. There is no need (IMHO) for a Quadro but some vendors only offer this type of cards - if so try to get the next generation (Quadro600) instead this old 580. But has nothing to do with the viz-result/time.
In reply to Michael Stark:
Right now I am experiencing a lot of slow down when I open files with images or 3D data and it takes about twice as long to print anything with my new system. Also, when sometimes when I open up a program like V8 none of the buttons render. I have to move the program window off the screen to get it to refresh that graphics. All of my graphic card settings are maximized to but still this happens. I have a memory and CPU monitor up on my screen and it never even come close to reaching 30% used on either one of them but still I have major slow downs. So my only guess would be that the video card is undersized to handle what I am doing.
I would just upgrade the video card and see if that works but working for a private firm makes it hard to get the funds to try anything. So I need some hard data or someone who can tell me that upgrading my video card would defiantly speed up my computer or upgrading something else would help me out.
In reply to Matt Regenold:
engregenoldIt takes about twice as long to print anything with my new system
Twice as long as what? As your previous system?
The symptoms you describe, such as buttons not appearing, indicate that the driver software for your graphics card may not be up-to-date.
Go to the
NVidia site
and download new drivers.

my graphic drivers are up-to-date. I takes twice as long to print as my old system.
Sometimes my tool buttons do not draw, I go to the tools menu and deselect "Main" then select it again and the buttons then update correctly. Intel Core i7 980X, Windows 7 x64, ATI 5770 video card, latest drivers, 24GB ram.

Are you up for the splash? Experience the Scandaga River with the best guides in the biz, while paddling with the newest and best equipment. Your adventure ends right at your car, no nasty second bus trip. Have a score to settle with a family member? SOC is the only outfitter with water cannons and buckets, guaranteeing you'll have the wettest water fights between rafts and anything else floating down the Sacandaga River, i.e. tubers and kayakers. All is fair game.
It's the perfect family adventure, with excursions departing every hour from 9am-4pm. Our photographer will capture images of your adventure for your entertainment and proof of your bravery. You'll delight in the waves and be able to play around in the swim sections along an Adirondack Mountain backdrop, as our skilled guides keep you moving and laughing along the Class II and III whitewater, which are guaranteed by dam releases 7 days a week. The weather may change but the water will be as powerful and amazing along this 4 mile stretch of the Sacandaga River every day of the season.
Is the Adirondack weather a little dreary during your vacation? Don't get lost in the arcade, mall, or movie theater. You will forget about the clouds as soon as you hit our first large rapid. We have the proper gear to make all the difference.
Whether it is a basic paddle top, wet suit, or dry suit that is needed, we will have your size ready for you clean and dry. "Rain or shine we run, for one reason, it's a ton of fun." Whether you come for a birthday party, a scout gathering, a corporate retreat or a church outing, or even to cap off singlehood with a bachelor or bachelorette party, we'll make it 2 very memorable hours. We'll also make sure you have everything you need with drysuits, GorTex socks, gloves, videos, photos and tshirts available in our shop..
*This trip is for ages 5 and up. Don't worry if you have children as young as 2 years of age, we can offer the Schroon River Tube Float. For more information click on Schroon river float.
Fun for all Ages
Looking to enjoy the incomparable beauty and ruggedness of the wilderness along the Hudson River Gorge with your family without feeling hurried or intimidated? Our Summer and Fall trips along the Hudson are ideal for families, creating the access to the same incredible Adirondack scenery withmilder whitewater, still guaranteed to give the whole family a great ride without the cold, intimidating water of the spring Hudson trip. Kids 10 and over can enjoy, along with their families, swimming and mild rapids guided by a NYS licensed guide. We'll take care of lunch, you just bring sunscreen and excitement.
And don't worry, anything you might forget, we can help you with in our outfitters shop.
Our Most Adventurous Ride
If it's extreme thrills you are seeking, look no further than this 17 mile raft excursion along the Indian and Hudson River Gorge. Travel the "Last of the Mohicans" historic region via the headwaters of the mighty Hudson River made mightier still by the spring rain and winter snow-melt.
The 3-4 hour trip is offered 7 days a week from early April through late May. Ideal for adventure seekers in good physical condition and over 14 years of age, prior raft experience is helpful, but not necessary. Having the desire to paddle with a group of people, yelling, laughing, and cheering required. For this all day outing SOC is the only Outfitter to offer dry suits at no additional fee along with a gourmet lunch served on the river. We can also arrange for a dinner or barbecue at our Outfitter base at the confluence of the Hudson and Sacandaga Rivers, with an awesome bonfire included at no charge.
Can't swim? Don't let that stop you! Every guest wears a PFD (Personal Floatation Device) and we have the best guides in the business, not to mention a variety of trips to suit every ability level. For the more extreme helmet-wearing rafter, our Spring Hudson River Gorge Rafting provides some of the most challenging white water around, while the less aggressive Hudson River Summer and Fall trips, as well as our rafting trips on the Sacandaga River, offer exciting but family friendly experiences. Alcohol consumption is not permitted prior to your trip. Please note, we do everything possible to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip. Because of the nature of outdoor activities, we cannot be responsible for personal injury or lost or damaged articles. Participate at your own risk. Release Form.
Up the river without a paddle? Not at SOC. Our rafting trips are like nothing you have ever experienced, and our rafts are self-bailing, so forget the bucket, and be prepared to join in the paddling. For all rides, each rafter will be equipped with a raft, paddle guide, and PFD. For our more adventurous Spring Hudson River Gorge Rafting trips, rafters will also sport a wet/dry suit, and helmet.

4 Errors to Avoid With EHRs
Here are four common mistakes to avoid.
1. Confusing patient records. When physicians look at identical screens for each patient, it can get confusing to keep them straight and entering information into the wrong patient's file can occur. Double check the name on the screen to avoid errors.
2. Ignoring alarms. A vast amount of alarms are included in EHRs to alert staff to patient allergies, medications and more. But studies show physicians often close these windows without reading them and missing important details. Read all the alerts to ensure patient safety isn't compromised.
3. Cloning. Cutting and pasting information, or cloning, may seem like a time saver, but it should be avoided at all costs. Cloning is a red flag for auditors looking for potential fraud, and it can perpetuate a single mistake over multiple visits if wrong information is copied.
4. Losing focus on patients. EHRs can be time consuming to master, but that doesn't mean physicians should spend more time focusing on the programs than on the patients. Be aware of how much time is spent making eye contact with patients versus looking at the computer screen. Do not let the laptop create a barrier to clinical service.

Wahoos manager Delino DeShields gets first ejection of the season
By Tommy Thrall / Pensacola Blue Wahoos | April 26, 2013 7:36 PM ET
The Pensacola Blue Wahoos threatened late against the Tennessee Smokies, but fell short 5-3 at Smokies Park in Kodak, Tenn. on Friday night. Tennessee has now won the first two games of the five-game series. Blue Wahoos manager Delino DeShields was ejected for the first time in 2013 when he argued an appeal play at first base in the fourth inning. First base umpire Matt McCoy ruled that Devin Lohman didn't touch the base on what would have been a two-out double to left field.
Pensacola got on the board first in the second inning when Tucker Barnhart scored from first on an RBI double from Lohman. The Smokies scored two runs in the fourth inning to go ahead 2-1 and had the Wahoos playing catch up the rest of the way. Ty Wright came home for the first run when Rubi Silva reached on an error by Lohman at short stop. Rafael Lopez brought home the second run with an RBI single later in the inning.
The Smokies delivered a big blow in the sixth. With Jae-Hoon Ha aboard, Silva launched his fourth home run of the season, a two-run shot, to make it a 4-1 Smokies lead.
Theo Bowe singled home Lohman in the seventh inning to chip away at the deficit. It was the first run batted in for Bowe on the season. Ryan LaMarre nearly tied the game, but his long fly ball to right-center field was flagged down on the warning track by Ha at full sprint to end the inning.
The Blue Wahoos answered a Smokies seventh-inning run when Brodie Greene singled home Steve Selsky to pull Pensacola back within two, but that was as close as Pensacola would get.
Daniel Renken (L, 1-2) took the loss after getting charged with two earned runs, four total, on six hits over 5.2 innings. He walked a season-high four batters and struck out two.
Alberto Cabrera (W, 3-1) earned the win for the Smokies with six strong innings. The Wahoos got to the Tennessee starter for one run on three hits. He walked three and fanned six. Trey McNutt (S, 2) worked the final four outs to pick up the save.
Pensacola and Tennessee continue the series at Smokies Park on Saturday night. The Blue Wahoos will send RHP Daniel Renken (1-1, 3.57 ERA) to the mound against Smokies LHP Eric Jokisch (3-0, 1.11 ERA). First pitch is slated for 5:15 p.m. CT.

Well-traveled Weber flirts with no-no
Blue Jays farmhand holds PawSox hitless for seven innings
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com | June 15, 2013 6:17 PM ET
Once a player gets a taste of the Major Leagues, he obviously tries to stay there. But if you wind up being one of the guys who shuttles back and forth to the Minors, the only clear way to keep getting chances in the bigs is to dominate at Triple-A.
Thad Weber, who's already had a couple of cups of coffee this year, took care of that second part on Saturday night.
The veteran right-hander pitched seven hitless innings, striking out eight batters and walking just one, as Triple-A Buffalo held on for a 2-1 victory at Pawtucket.
"Anytime I have success, whether it's this good or any other time, I think it's due to me having a good mix and throwing strikes early in the count. And that was the case tonight," Weber said. "It's a lot of fun [to pitch like that] in a tight ballgame, especially, where you really need the win. That's what you're out there for, competing at its best. So it was a good night and a good team win."
Weber (1-0) has made four different stops this season, first with Triple-A Tucson, then a brief stint with San Diego before he was claimed off waivers by Toronto late last month. He started with Buffalo, got a handful of appearances in the Majors with the Blue Jays and returned to the Bisons at the beginning of June.
In each new setting, the 28-year-old has experienced some success.
Between his two trips to the big leagues, he's recorded a 2.08 ERA over 13 innings in seven relief appearances. In 50 2/3 innings at Triple-A, he's notched a 3.38 ERA with 41 strikeouts against only six walks.
"[All the moving around] is definitely new for me. It's certainly been a learning experience," Weber said. "Just trying to adjust to new players, new staffs, new cities, all that kind of stuff, but I'm enjoying it. Anytime you get a chance to pitch in the big leagues and compete up there, I'm gonna take it.
"Would I want to stay up there? Obviously, anyone who pitches in the big leagues wants to stay there. But right now my role is to go back and forth and hopefully, yeah, I get a chance to get up to the big club and stay and help them. But right now I need to do the best I can to get in a routine and just put myself in a position to do well on the mound."
That routine has been made more difficult as Weber shifts between cities and levels and starting and relieving. It's another thing he said he's just happy to do, if asked.
"I've started almost my entire pro career, but I enjoy pitching out of the bullpen, too. I've done that every time in the big leagues and I like it," he said. "In the end, I prefer to start, but any opportunity I get to pitch in the big leagues, I'm gonna take it."
Facing a lineup that features the Red Sox's top three offensive prospects, Weber retired the first 11 batters. After walking Ryan Lavarnway with two outs in the fourth, he set down 10 in a row before handing the no-hitter off to Buddy Carlyle.
Making his first appearance since Tuesday, Carlyle recorded two outs before giving up a solo homer to Alex Hassan. It turned out to be the PawSox's only hit of the game.
Eugenio Velez homered and scored both runs for the Bisons.
Brandon Workman took the tough-luck loss in his second Triple-A start. The Red Sox's No. 12 prospect gave up two runs -- one earned -- on seven hits and three walks while tying a season high with nine strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings.

Starting body work- help requested!!!
Now that I got your attention- thank you all for a great and informative website! This is my first post here- wanted to get some answers before I dig in too deep and get in over my head. BTW, found your site on another forum.
I am working on a 77 (early) Ford Bronco. It was a crawler for a while and has its share of scrapes, dings, and dents. I don't have much body work experience (other than piddling with it). After reading the info on the SPI paint forum about their epoxy, I'm considering using it. My plan is to sand to bare metal, pound some dings out, epoxy prime, fill, prime, then epoxy prime again before top coat. From their website, it sounds like not much (if any) sanding is required. Is this accurate? Also, can the epoxy be laid on the bare metal and left for a month or so before body work is done without changing that strategy?
A few questions. The body is dented. How close do I need to get it (how much bondo is good vs. bad)? Some of it was filled already and I've run across about 1/4" of it in spots.
Next, should I take it all to bare metal? Why or why not? I have been using aircraft paint stripper and then a DA with 100 grit. I'm concerned about the aircraft stripper screwing with the new paint. What is the best way to neutralize it? I am planning on using the water based SPI prep-sol.
I am planning on replacing this tail light bucket as it is dented and the metal behind it isn't straight. I'm not sure that it is able to be fixed (by me) without fixing the metal behind it and then welding a new bucket in place. Your thoughts?
Finally, I plan to do the mud work and priming here. I just have a few HF HVLP paint guns. Nothing fancy, nor do I have a way to keep the dust/gnats out of the finished product. Do most paint places make me use what they want, or can I bring paint/material to them? Not looking for something super fancy, nor will I spend 100's of hours on it. I do plan to try and get it pretty flat using a long board, but I don't really need it to be perfect. It will see trail use.
Oh, and who makes a good filler? I have used some that don't harden well, others that don't spread well, and I always seem to get air bubbles in it- my fault there. Do you guys mess with any sort of glazing compound/icing overtop of the bondo? Any tips are welcomed!!

If a contractor is overcharging me, am I obliged to pay?
Question Details:
I hired a contractor to tile 70 sq. ft. of floor space in our bathroom and laundry room. Before he did the job I asked him for an estimate and let him know that the subfloor around the toilet was sinking and would probably need to be replaced. He gave me an estimate for everything - $275 labor cost. When I called their office to pay for it, they told me that I owe them $650. What should I do? By law, am I obliged to pay the $650 or just the $250? We don't have any written agreement. I haven't signed anything.I still have his voicemail on the original quote he gave me.
We recommend that you consult with an attorney in your area, but for a person in this situation in our state, we would generally recommend that paying the bill would be less costly than going to court. Good luck.

Health complaint commissions in Australia : time for a national approach to data collection
Walton, Merrilyn, Merry-Smith, Jennifer, Healy , Judith, & McDonald, Fiona (2012) Health complaint commissions in Australia : time for a national approach to data collection. Australian Review of Public Affairs, 11(1), pp. 1-18.
View at publisher (open access)
Health complaint statistics are important for identifying problems and bringing about improvements to health care provided by health service providers and to the wider health care system. This paper overviews complaints handling by the eight Australian state and territory health complaint entities, based on an analysis of data from their annual reports. The analysis shows considerable variation between jurisdictions in the ways complaint data are defined, collected and recorded. Complaints from the public are an important accountability mechanism and open a window on service quality. The lack of a national approach leads to fragmentation of complaint data and a lost opportunity to use national data to assist policy development and identify the main areas causing consumers to complain. We need a national approach to complaints data collection in order to better respond to patients' concerns.

Matthews claimed Gore is an "elitist from the Northeast"
On the February 11 edition of NBC-syndicated The Chris Matthews Show, host Chris Matthews claimed that, if the Democratic Party "do[esn't] bring in some elitist from the Northeast [as the party's 2008 presidential nominee], which you had ... the last two times," Democrats "may well carry the country." Vice President Al Gore, the Democratic nominee for president in 2000, is not from the Northeast [1]. Gore was a senator from Tennessee when he successfully ran as the vice presidential nominee in 1992.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Tennessee, Gore's home state, is part of the census region [2] identified as "South."
From the February 11 edition of the NBC-syndicated The Chris Matthews Show:
MATTHEWS: How about -- how about a simple theory that all the Democrats have to do is do no harm? In other words, don't present a candidate with a terrible personality --
KLEIN: Yes.
KAY: Yes. Yes.
MATTHEWS: -- who's a stiff --
KAY: Right.
MATTHEWS: -- and they can pick up states like Ohio, where working people are looking for a Democrat to vote for. They can pick up Iowa. Just don't bring in some elitist from the Northeast, which you had in the Democratic Party the last two times, and you may well carry the country.
O'DONNELL: Well, and one of the ways to judge is, look at how the Democrats won back the majority in the Senate, for instance, for the six seats that they won.
MATTHEWS: The guy with the crew cut from Montana -- the tractor.
O'DONNELL: Right -- Claire McCaskill from Missouri who campaigned in rural areas.
MATTHEWS: Regular people.
O'DONNELL: Regular people who appealed -- the authenticity issue.
KAY: And that's the authenticity issue that you were quite right about.
MATTHEWS: Bob Casey. You think this -- that Hillary does transcend the elitist candidacies of the last two times?
KLEIN: Only if this is an election about who you are and about what you believe and what experience you have. Hillary Clinton's only shot is if they don't think of her as someone from New York.
