Putting a hole in a wall without getting electrocuted.
I need to install ventilation in my server closet at home. Which requires me to put a hole in my wall for the tubing. But i have no idea where the wires inside the wall are. I have a stud finder but im not sure if that will help with conduit and wiring.
how do i find where the wires/conduit are?
Some stud finders will locate AC in a wall. It will usually tell you on the device if it has such a feature. I do not trust them so I usually put a small hole in the wall and look around in the wall cavity with a mirror and pen light. I also have a small camera system with a USB powered LED I rigged that I can stick in the wall using my laptop. If this is an outside wall you will have insulation to deal with also.
It's not possible to use the wall stud bay, just as it sits, as a plenum?
I think you are suggesting or asking if using the stud bay without some kind of duct is possible. That would be a fire hazard in most cases. I know this was common practice in older homes but I believe it is against code today. Perhaps one of the HVAC guys could verify that.
I know that entire ceilings and floor spaces are used across hundreds of square feet of office areas for air supplies and returns in many commercial applications. If you are venting the closet to the outside, it could turn out to be allowable, maybe???
so i need to drill a 1 or 2" hole and stuck a mechanics mirror with a penlight and poke around?
You are just cutting with a hand held drywall saw....right?
Use some logic and finesse and you will be fine. Make the first cut inside the closet so a patch wont be evident incase something is in there.
Usually the Romex is protected by a nailing plate.
There is an expensive device called DrillStop or something that cuts the power to the tool.
Use a hand drill to drill the hole, in any case. It gives you better feedback as to what you're hitting.
If you do hit a cable, the drilled hole acts like a barrel so that the sparks are thrown out horizontally. :) Looks really cool. . .
If you're using a grounded tool you won't get a shock but it may trip a breaker. If not, stand on an insulator like wood or carpet or have rubber shoes on.
Buy a drywall saw for a few bucks and save much grieve later on.
Is there anything that makes you think there may be electrical in the walls?
20 years, no damaged wires
I run 2" vac pipe in blind walls frequently. Hope this helps.
Find your preferrred joist bay and mark you studs, Check the oppoposite side of the walls for receptacles. Generally if receptacles are strung across a wall the wiring will run at a height of 14-18". If they are fed from above or below they will enter and exit the wall within 1" of a stud and should be secured to it.
If you drill a fine marker hole in the closet floor at the stud location to the basement below you can inspect for wiring running from below in that joist bay. Also inspect your closet area for switches running up the wall to over head lites.
I do use a stud sensor with AC detector.
When I have to cut blind and can't inspect from below I drill a small circle of shallow holes at my centerpoint with a 1/8 masonary bit. Then do a shallow cut hole to hole with a knife. This alows me to perforate without slicing blindly into hidden wires. I then fish in a hooked coathanger and pull gently in several directions. If necessary feed in a mechanic's folding mirror or Rigid SEE SNAKE.
This should get you through the worst.
Transfer grille
Here is another thought don't know your heat and venting requirements requirements. What about a transfer grille setup. Cut into the bottom inside your closet. Then the top of the same joist space from the outside. This is called a transfer or transition? in Hvac to help vent an unvented room to the nearest return air vent. Post a note on the HVAC forum for proer details and you're away:thumbsup:
Just use a keyhole saw and go slowly and carefully. Avoid sawing right up against the studs and you should be fine. Using a sawzall won't allow you to feel what you're cutting into whereas a handheld saw will. This isn't a big deal and will likely be a piece of cake.

What the HELL happened to Springfield ¿

I had business in Springfield a few days ago. It has been many years since I was there and at that time it seemed like an ok city. I was driving through the downtown area looking for a certain address and lost my bearings. I drove around aimlessly and was in shock at what I was looking at. I felt like I was Kurt Russell in the movie "Escape to New York..What happened?
#2 Nov 25, 2010
Man .. I wish i could tell you .. My sister lives there and i worked there in the late 60s ... work was plenty full .. we partyed all night and worked all day ...
Now no jobs .. down town looks like the slums of no telling where ... I think its sad
#3 Nov 26, 2010
The same thing happening throughout the rest of our country - 1/2 of the population is scamming welfare benefits, illegal alien scab labor took all the low wage jobs, destroying the teen & young adult job market, and NAFTA enticed all the good jobs to Mexico.
Simple answer - we ALLOWED it to happen, and still are.
#4 Nov 26, 2010
abe ... you are Right ... Do you live in Springfield now ?
I left a Girl there in 1968 .. I am 59 now and i never got over her !!

what can the people do about illegal immigration when the goverment,all the way from local to federal,turns a blind eye and refuses to enforce immigration laws?
#6 Nov 26, 2010
You must VOTE OUT any politician that is soft on illegal alien immigration.
You must boycott all businesses that employ illegal aliens.
You must write, call and complain to our elected officials, constantly.
You must join a group like ALIPAC or NumbersUSA to keep up on all the sneaky tricks D.C. has up their sleeves.
You must DEMAND that your voice be heard - illegal aliens are doing all these things AGAINST us.
They can (and DO) vote illegally in our elections - and they vote for the candidate that will pander to their imported culture.
They only patronize Spanish owned businesses.
They join racist open borders groups like La Raza, LULAC, MeCHA & MALDEF.
They constantly pester our elected officials for favors, amnesty, and special treatment - that Americans cannot and do not demand.
They protest on STREETS THAT WE PAID FOR, waving Mexcan flags and demanding their "rights".
If you care about the country that your kids and grandkids will inherit, then you MUST get involved.
Now take a look at this link and think hard about what you can do before one of your family members is killed by DBI (Death By Illegal): http://ojjpac.org/memorial.asp
#7 Nov 26, 2010
Awww.....maybe you can reconnect with her. Good Luck!
#8 Nov 26, 2010
I just looked again at the Memorial to Americans killed by illegal aliens (see the link in my previous post) and I see how many more names have been added since I last looked at it.
If that doesn't create the desire in you to fight tooth and nail against illegal alien immigration, nothing will.
Here is the link to ALIPAC (Americans for LEGAL Immigration), hope you check it out.

lmao @ this being all blamed upon minorities...when springfield and this area are predominately white. So typical of bigoted idiots to blame all of their problems on anyone with color.
#10 Nov 26, 2010
Abe .. I have looked for her for years and Years .. and No luck .. I guess when i die i will have to give up
#11 Nov 26, 2010
Your view of our country is obviously extremely limited.
Guess what? Illegal aliens ARE mostly minorities.
FACTS are not "bigoted". Hilarious.
#12 Nov 28, 2010
welcome to the barrio and don`t get run over by the taco truck.jose has been drinking again.
#13 Nov 28, 2010
The answer is simple. Springfield was a hub of manufaturing and most of the population moved here from other areas seeking work in the manufacturing industry. Now manufacturing has dried up (both in the area and US as a whole) and there is no viable industry to replace it. Outside of law enforcement and health care, both which have also been affected by the economy, the are no viable careers in Springfield and Clark County outside of minimum-wage employment.
#14 Dec 23, 2010
springfield is a dying post-industrial town.only a fool would willingly live there.murders,home invasions,drugs and prostitution are the order of the day.

Born there in June, 1957.
Will always remember Jim's sandwich shop--the 'olive & nut.'
Wouldn't want to see the neighborhood where my dad's company was as it was on the outskirts of downtown.
Seems best to keep it this way, my memories of Jim & his awesome sandwiches.
I suppose the only place I'd go back to see would be the little white house on Sciota Street. I've many pictures in mint condition of those times. Good thing because the house is probably gone.
Everything changes, even Springfield.

A stalled expansion effort by the Missoula 3:16 Rescue Mission, which has been seeking a home for its residential program for homeless men, is vexing neighbors, government officials, mission representatives and clients alike. And while it's easy to laud efforts to help the homeless, questions about the mission's location and how it should be regulated have become increasingly thorny, with two distinct sets of concerns—one originating in the neighborhood, another coming from city hall—yet to be settled.
At the end of February, Missoula 3:16 began remodeling an old grocery store at the corner of Toole Avenue and Scott Street with the aim of transforming it into quarters for its Men's Life Regeneration Program, a yearlong program that houses a handful of homeless men while helping them develop the skills to rejoin society. To ensure the project's viability, the mission purchased the building only after securing a city building permit, says Missoula 3:16 Director Cassie Sorenson.
But soon after construction began, when concerned neighbors began questioning what kind of oversight the mission would have, city officials took a closer look at Missoula 3:16's permit. And after a few weeks of confusion, during which Missoula 3:16 halted construction, the Missoula Office of Planning and Grants (OPG) revoked the mission's zoning and building permits April 21.
"I just think the city's put us in an awful position. We didn't purchase the building, start plans or do anything until we had a valid permit in our hand," Sorenson says. "Now we have a building that we can't put anything into and $15,000 invested in our construction."
But Sorenson isn't the only one in an awkward position.
Missoula 3:16 applied for its permits as a "community residential facility," a state-defined and -regulated designation. Consequently, OPG told Missoula 3:16 to work with the state Department of Public Health and Human Services to ascertain whether it met appropriate requirements. Licensure Bureau Chief Roy Kemp assured Sorenson in writing that Missoula 3:16 qualified as a halfway house, one of the community residential facility categories. Based on Kemp's information, OPG granted Missoula 3:16 a zoning permit and the project moved ahead.
But problems cropped up when neighbors started asking questions. They wanted to know what activities would take place at the new center, how participants in Missoula 3:16's program would be screened and monitored, and whether staff were qualified to handle addiction issues.
When the city further consulted Kemp to clarify such issues, Kemp discovered that the state rules governing halfway houses had been repealed, thus his department has no authority or method for licensing Missoula 3:16 as such.
Once OPG realized its grounds for issuing the permit had dissolved—and that the mission might therefore not meet zoning requirements—the city had no choice but to put a hold on Missoula 3:16's progress.
"The bottom line here is that they have to be compliant with the law," says Mike Barton, OPG senior planner. "There was an error made here, but that doesn't then excuse us from upholding the law."
While OPG and the state have established that Missoula 3:16 doesn't qualify as a community residential facility, the burning question now is what, exactly, it does qualify as, and whether it meets neighborhood zoning.
Sorenson says she doesn't understand why the burden should be on the mission to obtain a new permit, but City Attorney Jim Nugent says the city can't help the fact that Missoula 3:16 applied under a designation whose qualifications it doesn't meet, though he acknowledges that the state's mistake and subsequent city approval compounds the problem.
"It's a tangled mess right now," Nugent says.
Missoula 3:16 and Mayor John Engen, along with Nugent and OPG, plan to meet mid-May to chart their next steps.
The neighborhood has a different—though intersecting—set of concerns, which residents discussed April 27 at a Northside/Westside Confederated Neighborhood Council meeting where 35 people turned up to air their reservations. Essentially, neighbors worry that Missoula 3:16 will invite dangerous men into the neighborhood without providing adequate safeguards. The mission's day center, where 30 to 70 homeless people find shelter, food and encouragement each day, has been located at 506B Toole Ave. for five years, and neighbors cite poor experiences with its clients as cause for concern about a second facility.
Sorenson told neighbors at the meeting that the Life Regeneration Program is fundamentally different than the day center: Eight men would enroll in a yearlong program where they would live onsite and attend classes in subjects like bible study, time management, résumé development and anger management before receiving help securing jobs and homes. The program has already been running for three years out of an undisclosed Northside apartment, she said, and has graduated about five men. Close supervision, random drug tests and the threat of being kicked out of the program ensure cooperation and safety, Sorenson said.
Neighbors say they're particularly concerned about drug and alcohol addiction issues and question whether Missoula 3:16's staff, who aren't medically trained, are qualified to run the facility. Some, like Heidi Boehm, said she'd be more comfortable if the mission were regulated, but Sorenson says she's averse to 3:16 becoming a licensed drug and alcohol facility because "while that may be part of what we're doing, it's not a crux of our activity."
Many residents question why Sorenson wants to open the mission in their neighborhood, to which Sorenson responds that "Part of their learning not to be chronically homeless is learning how to be a good neighbor, how to be a productive, independent citizen."
Matt Peters, 28, who's completed two-thirds of the Life Regeneration Program after being a homeless alcoholic for about 12 years, says Missoula 3:16 has helped him turn his life around. He wishes neighbors could look beyond their fears and stereotypes about homeless people to realize that Missoula 3:16 is helping resolve—not increase—homeless issues in Missoula.
But while neighbors seem to roundly agree that the program is positive, many aren't yet convinced that its location in their neighborhood is a good thing.
Regardless of neighborhood concerns, practical questions of zoning and city approval come first, and remain far from answered.
"We're all about being good neighbors, but we can't be good neighbors when we can't find a spot to fit in," Sorenson says. "We just feel stuck in every which way."

BALDWIN CITY, Kan. (11-5-11) – Audrey Richmond finished with 19 points in the second straight game as the Northwestern Oklahoma State University women's basketball team dropped MidAmerica Nazarene (Kan.), 64-59, in the second day of the Baker Classic.
Richmond's pair of 19-point performances was the second best scoring output of the tournament behind Alisha Fanshier of Baker. Just as the Lady Rangers finished 2-0 on the weekend, so did No. 24 Rogers State, while both Baker and MidAmerica Nazarene were winless.
Before taking over the lead late in the ball game, the Lady Rangers led the contest once before with 9:35 remaining in the first after a bucket in the paint by LaParis Newsom. Eventually, MidAmerica Nazarene would stretch their lead to 32-25 at the break.
On several occasions during the first eight minutes of the second half, the Lady Rangers found themselves looking up at a nine point deficit on the scoreboard. However, fighting and clawing their way back, a pair of Richmond free throws with 11:35 cut the lead to one.
Over the next several minutes, both teams traded baskets before the Lady Rangers were finally able to tip the scales back in their favor at 51-50 with 6:01 remaining after a pair of baskets by Taylytha Williams and Ronita Coleman bucket and free throw.
Williams was one of three other Lady Rangers in double figures with 10 points, while Autumn Klugh had 12 and Newsom had 10. Coleman finished with eight points.
Two lead changes later, the Lady Rangers tied the game at 59 as Richmond knocked down two more from the line, taking the for lead good as she knocked down another shot in the paint with 1:46 remaining.
All afternoon long, Northwestern attacked the glass from all over the floor as all but one Lady Ranger who saw the floor recorded at least one rebound. Klugh led the way on the boards from the guard positions with nine and Coleman added eight.
Northwestern continues their non-conference road schedule on Tuesday as they head to Weatherford to take on longtime rival Southwestern Oklahoma State at 6 p.m.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

SVT buying advice
So I never expected to be into the focus; however, I was buying my wife a new car and walked past one in the lot that really caught my eye. It was a newer Focus SVT...
We wanted to buy new and I am the lone paycheck maker of the house with 2 children so we went with the more economical fiesta. Got a hell of a deal and its nice for my wife.
Well, I drive an F-150 and commute a ton, the plan was for me to take her car to work and use my truck around town... well that didn't last, she doesn't like parting with her new car and I am never thrilled about her driving my vehicle SO...
I figured now is my time to swoop in an convince her I need an SVT for commuting, HA!
I had a ton of questions and I never trust dealerships so I thought I'd make an account and get some owners input. Is it worth going SVT over ZX3? I need to go used as I am now broke.. found a sharp looking zx3, 140k for about 4k... says one owner. whats the average life of these? will I regret not going SVT? and I am worried about a used SVT being driven hard and giving me headaches. I don't drive hard but I thought it would be a fun car to drive anyway. Last, any common issues with them that I should expect? My F-150, everytime there was a problem it seemed like it was common with every F-150 of the year. Brake lines wearing out, manifold bolts rusting out, ect.
sorry this was so damn long, but if you kept reading I'd appreciate input. Or if anyone needs a 4x4 I'd be happy to trade... my truck is worth a lot but I'm letting it go cheap.

As a strong fiscal conservative, I believe our government has grown far too large and spends too much money. As the great Ronald Reagan once said, "Government isn't the solution to the problem, Government is the problem."
Reducing taxes and reducing the size of government go hand in hand. It is time we start getting serious about returning government to its proper roles and reducing taxes on all Iowans.
I will be an advocate for allowing hard working Iowans to keep more of the dollars they rightfully have earned.
I will also work diligently to use common sense approaches to reduce the size of government.

Lightened pulley works the same as a lightned flywheel. For every 1lb you remove from the crank it is like removing 10lbs from the weight of the vehicle. Off boost throttle response is pretty noticeable especially once the car is in motion. Faster rev's=faster powerband. I like them and they are easy to pick up used for $50-$60. Removing weight from a vehicle doesn't increase HP but is the car faster? Absolutely..........
I ran 23.5psi on 93 octane with my vf22. I could have turned it up a little more, but at 23.5psi the IWG was being forced open. Of course that was with a lot of other mods..
i saw that it said the gains but i meant are they noticeable?
thanks i also just posted a thread with a few questions if anyone can help sorry OP not trying to thread jack just curious
Otherwise, I haven't personally done the modification myself. I wouldn't expect a night and day difference to say the least.

Yeah, it's not going to be a huge difference, but I still feel it's worth it. Since you have to remove the manifold, and obviously you're going to have to have the car professionally tuned to take advantage of the improved VE it's not something that is normally done just by itself.
When I had my TGVs removed and ported I also port and polished my throttle body and intake manifold, as well as installing phenolic spacers and +1mm valves with a radiused valve job. The most noticeable difference was off boost drivability. Fuel economy went up probably 3-4mpg and the car was much easier to drive around town.

Proving he is not just a pretty face, his fleece was the blue ribbon winner at AOBA 2004. Co-owned with Marcelo, Inez and Adolfo Games of High Peak Alpacas.

A strikingly beautiful fawn female - from black and grey lineage! Bred to Maple Brook Bolero for 2013.Neil Padgett of A Paca Fun Farm, well known for the top quality breeding program focused on grey and black, believes Clarice to be genetically black. (Her sire is a black Peruvian, and her dam is a silver grey, which is a black base coat color with the tuxedo grey pattern 'overlay'.) We suspect that there may be a similar genetic effect as when a yellow Labrador Retreiver is born to two black parents. Bottom line: when bred to black, Clarice should produce black!In addition to her beauty, Clarice's dense, soft-handling, uniform fleece and high frequency crimp has caught our eye. Sire - A rare black male of pure Peruvian lineage - and a two time Champion! Including the Great Western. Pictured in his senior years, Iguazu, like the famous Black Matador, developed grey coloration in his older years. His conformation remains strong, and he is still a proud, male handsome!Dam - Dona Sophia is a dark silver grey. According to current genetic understanding, this color is basically a black alpaca with the tuxedo grey pattern. At Inti, we are focused on white and light-fleeced alpacas of pure Peruvian lineage, but Clarice caught our eye, and the possibiblites for outstanding fleece - and a 50% chance of a color cria sired by Bolero - intigued us!A Paca Fun Farm has first right of refusal on her 2011 and 2012 crias! We are not even sure we want to sell her, but listed her as an example of the females here at Inti being bred to Bolero. Clarice delivered a handsome beige male cria by Bolero this spring.

It's tempting to take a glass-half-full reading of this week' selloff in euro-zone bonds. After all, they have, for once, moved cohesively in the same direction.
At the height of the euro crisis, German bunds used to rally at the first sign of nerves in Spanish, Irish or Italian bond markets, a safe-haven response that emphasized the stark divisions between "peripheral" and "core" countries and which highlighted the risk of the monetary union's eventual breakup.
But now, as renewed flight from higher yielding bond markets drives the 10-year Spanish bond yield up over 5%, German bund yields are also spiking, with the 10-year yield adding more than two thirds of a percentage point since early May. It seems as if investors are saying that the various measures to strengthen the euro zone have forced its members into the same boat and that the unity of their group is now beyond question.
But the presence of a glass-half-full view always points to an alternative, half-empty interpretation.
In this case, the pessimists hold that the revival of positive market correlations reflects an unhealthy "balkanization" of the euro zone's financial system. As the crisis progressed, German and French banks that had previously bet heavily on higher yielding countries such as Spain and Italy pulled out of those markets and repatriated their funds. Meanwhile, the European Central Bank set up long-term refinancing operations, or LTROs, via its member national central banks, which led the commercial banks of Spain and Italy to fill the breach and take on bigger proportions of their governments' debts.
The only reason bond markets are now correlated, these people say, is because banks in both the core and the peripheral countries are separately pulling out of their respective domestic markets in response to the global pressures set off by the Federal Reserve's threat to wind down its monetary stimulus. From this perspective, the correlation of euro-zone bond markets is a sign of division, not unity.
The optimists will counter that, although rising yields in Spain and Italy increase the effective cost of borrowing for these countries' governments and companies, it won't get out of hand because of ECB President Mario Draghi's "whatever it takes" pledge to buy sovereign debt in the event of a meltdown. The fact that the euro itself is holding up reasonably well suggests that this powerful "outright monetary transactions" program from the ECB is expected to work — or so argue the glass-half-fullers.
Of course, the pessimists will have another retort, and that is that balkanization has left Spain's and Italy's domestic banks holding an unbearably larger burden of the losses from falling bond prices. And given the crisis they've just come through, they're not in good shape to absorb any big hits right now.
Spain's banks, torn asunder by a brutal housing crisis, have been partly recapitalized as the government drew down 41.3 billion euros from a 100-billion-euro credit line from the EU. And as financial conditions deteriorate, it may have to tap more of it.
But the euro-zone's finance ministers decided last week that member countries could not transfer prior loans granted for bank bailouts over to the European Stability Mechanism, the new common bailout fund. And that could make Spain balk at taking on more debt. In its hesitation, Spanish banks' balance sheets could come under attack.
The "home bias" in banks' holdings of Spanish and Italian debt means that that "an increase in the borrowing costs or difficulty to roll over the paper … has the potential to trigger again the downward spiral between bank and sovereign credit risks," says Viral Acharya, a professor of economics at New York University.
We tend to think of the euro-zone crisis as a sovereign-debt crisis. But at its heart, it was a banking crisis — or at least a result of the unholy, systemically risky relationship between sovereigns and banks. That problem has not been fixed.

Certainly possible to remove a borrower from a loan, assuming the remaining borrower can qualify based on credit and income. However, if you're in a community property state, you can't just do a quit claim (if hubby would sign one) and take hubby out of the picture. As long as you're married, he has spousal rights to ½ the home. You'd have to get new deed as "Jane Doe, a married woman"…..if son is 18, he could be added to title, assuming hubby would consent.
It's quite possible to remove your husband's name and add your son's name, if your son isn't minor then surely can be added to the title. But what making you change the title and bringing your son into it, let him carry on with his career and why are you snatching those spousal rights from your hubby. And if having any refinance problem with your mortgage then quickquid can assist you with solutions.
Payday loans are both exceptionally expensive and can harm your credit. They should only be used as a last resort!
Good Morning. I'm curious to know if you've made any progress on your loan application and the title changes you want to make as I would be happy to help you directly with both issues. Let me know if I can be of direct help! Thank you!

My adoptive brother is my parents' biological son and is six years younger than I am. (I wrote about some of the circumstances of his arrival in our family yesterday.) I can remember fighting with him about who was taking up more space in the back seat on long car rides, but for the most part we got along well. We were rarely competitive with each other, in part because of the age and gender difference and in part because we were naturally drawn to different sports, activities, etc. One thing we have in common is a shared appreciation for a good story. We like to relive moments from our past, such as the time we flipped a canoe in frigid waters. Over the years, some of these stories have, shall we say, improved in the retelling, with little exaggerations slipping in. My brother has no use for computers, refusing even to create a facebook account. As adults, we are friendly though not extremely close. He still lives in the town we grew up in; I see him when I go home, but we make few efforts to keep in touch in between. About a year ago I called him to ask a major favor. I emphasized that he could take his time to think it over, but didn't need any time. He said yes in a single beat. Because we're family.
My biological brother knew from the age of 10 that he had a sister out there, somewhere. At moments in his life, unbeknownst to either of us, "somewhere" was very close by; for a time, we lived close enough that we could very easily have walked by each other on the street or in the grocery story. By the time we met, he was in high school and I was a young professional working in publishing. During my first reunion visit, our mother watched us talking to each other from across the room and decided that if we had grown up together we would have had our own language, so similar were we. I agree that he and I are very much alike (except that he is much smarter and hipper than I am). We are similar in our political and spiritual views. We each work, in our own way, to create social change. We read, we write, we post, we tweet. We live both in the world and in our computers. We grew up apart and we now live on opposite sides of the country, and yet I do feel close to him.
I feel conflicted about many aspects of my adoptive experience, but in matter of siblings I am simply doubly blessed.

We've released the first ever screenshots from our upcoming episodic game series, Tales from the Borderlands! Set on Pandora AFTER the events of Borderlands 2 from Gearbox Software and 2K Games, the Telltale series will premiere for download later this summer.
Featuring two playable characters, the story is told from two unique perspectives that will alternate as the story progresses. These characters include Rhys, a scheming, low-level data miner within Hyperion who's plotting his own grand ambitions; and Fiona, a clever and classic fast-talking con artist born and raised on Pandora, out to pull off the grift of a lifetime.
While they themselves aren't vault hunters, both Rhys and Fiona will also come across vault hunters such as Zer0 and other characters from the world of Borderlands 2 throughout the series, as all events in Tales from the Borderlands will be part of the official Borderlands story canon.
Check out this Official PlayStation blog post from Adam Sarasohn (Producer on Tales from the Borderlands) for a few more details on the series!

Freud raised panel bits?
I just received a Rockler order today. One of the items was a Freud Quadra-Cut Ogee Raised Panel Bit with Backcutter. Item #38231. As I started to install it, I noticed it had no bearing between profile and back cutter. I have about 15 of these type of cutters, lots of different brands, they all have the bearing. This is my first Freud of this type.
If any of you have used this set, does it have a bearing or did you have to install one. Or use it as is, seems to me it will burn, when I cut the arches. I doing the tombstone arched doors, in red oak! The straight cuts will be no problem as I can use the fence.
Do not want to ruin a $100.00 bit!
Their data sheet shows it with no bearing.

Banks were once more the main talking point in the market, but this time because they were showing some signs of life after their recent traumatic share price collapses.
Royal Bank of Scotland, hit hard on concerns that it could end up being fully nationalised, recovered 2.2p to 12.5p. However, it must be pointed out the bank's shares stood at more than 50p at the start of the month, not to mention their peak last year was nearly 360p.
Lloyds Banking Group was lifted 0.3p to 45.1p, HSBC rose 30.5p to 515.5p and Standard Chartered closed 76.5p higher at 766p. But Barclays failed to join in the revival, losing 6.8p to 66.1p. However this was a marked improvement on the day's low of 47.3p.
An early 150-point rally on Wall Street helped pull the FTSE 100 briefly into positive territory. But with the US market slipping back as London closed, the UK's leading index ended 31.52 points lower at 4059.88, its lowest level since 5 December.
Energy companies were among the leading fallers as oil hovered around $41 a barrel on growing concerns about future demand in the face of a prolonged recession. BP lost 12.25p to 485.75p, Royal Dutch Shell B shares dropped 44p to £16.11, while BG fell 15.5p to 870p.
But Tullow Oil, the FTSE 100 exploration and production company, added 25p to 625.5p as it confirmed a share placing and unveiled a reasonable trading update. It is raising £402m by issuing new shares at 600p each, after the collapse of the sale of a stake in its M'Boundi oil field in the Democratic Republic of Congo for £285m.
Software group Autonomy added 57.5p to £10.33 as its full-year results came in ahead of forecasts, with profits up 84%. The company said it was "conservatively optimistic for the remainder of 2009".
Pubs group Punch Taverns was unchanged at 32.25p despite a sell note from KBC Peel Hunt but transport group National Express dropped 20.25p to 381p as Citigroup slashed its price target from £12.80 to 443p.
Lower down the market parcel delivery group Business Post was steady at 250p after it issued an upbeat trading statement helped by a good performance from its UK Mail division. Analysts at Oriel Securities said this was positive news for its rival City Link, part of Rentokil, up 0.75p to 40.75p.


text: I have called the cops because a group of thugs threatened to shot my 16 year son and the police never came. I called three times without results, then called the commandant of the station and clearly explained to him that I was retired from the military and an excellent marksman up to 1/4 mile (the distance to the corner of the block). Also I told him that if I ever saw that group of guys coming down my block I was going to shoot indiscriminately in their direction. Two minutes later two Officers showed up at my house to talk to me, because I was the mennace. I told them not to bother, I had the telephone records when I called the police three times and they were "no show" and I scorned them for having that lacksy daisy attitude. Anyways now I realise my safety and that of my family lays on my shoulders. This is insane, specially when my taxes are paying for this so called protection.

Huge problem with Insulation in Cape style
SO Last year I had major Ice Damns with all that snow, the roof leaked and mold was discovered in teh crawl space on the front roof slop of my cap code style house. Due to improper instalation of insulation. Had the mold remediated, and had severl contractors with different opinions on how to re-insulate and ventilate the crawl space and the small attic above.
Went with a cotractor who installed Spray Foam insualtion in the soffit and up the roof deck on the front of teh entire house to "seal the area like an envelop". He felt this was the best option as part of the wall had built ins and this way he couls insulate behond it. He also installed soffit vents along back side of the house for ventilation.
Fast forward one year.... New mold was discovered in the attic area, most likely the emergency/mold company failed to notce that the roof leak also affected this area, the moisture remained and now new mold. They say the have to remediate mold, and remove 2 the feet celulose insulation. OK
Now During the same week, we got our first substantial snowfall. I am watching the snow melt from the top of my roof line right up to where the end of the foam insualtion ends. Obviously this is going to create a new ice damn at that point which is well above the water and ice barrier. The contractor said he did nothing wrong, The house has heat leakage in th attic that needs to be addressed. I now know we should have went with soffit and baffle vents and only insulated the interior walls, but now it is too late... It would be near impossile to remove the spray insualtion.
Does anyone have ANY ideas on what I should do when they put this all back togehter? I need to get that attic area ventilated and cold on the front top half of the roof slope.
I'm having a hard time picturing what you trying to expain.
How about a picture.
Is this living space or just an attic?
What insulation type, and how thick is it behind the knee walls.
What's on the back side of the knee walls?
Ah yes, the classic case of the spray foam cure all.
It is tough to tell what the recommendation would be in this case without a better description of the layout, what was done, and/or some pictures.
If you brought a kneewall into the envelope but eliminated the soffit air to the upper roof, that is a huge mistake. Is that what was done?
Yes that is exactly what was done......
This is a drawing of he side view of house
1 Attachment(s)
Here is the best drawing I can do of the side view of the house
you need more soffit vents in the attic.
he should have sprayed the knee wall and th floor not the underside of the roof and the soffit.
more vents
so you think it is feasable to put larger or continuos soffit vents in the back of the house and maybe a larger ridge vent to allow more cold air in and hot air to escape.
Did you see my drawing?
Do you think more vents in the back of the house will create enough air flow to keep the front attic ceiling cold?
Since I can not undo what was done, would you consider removing all of the insulation and spray foaming the entire roof deck? (that is one remedy someone has suggested)
1. How thick is the SPF?
2. Asphalt shingles? Light or dark color?
3. Is it air sealed under the knee wall?
4. Is there HVAC in attic?
5. Where are you located?
answers to questions from gary
The SPF fills in the joists.
Asphalt dark color
Air sealed under knee wall? Most likely not
No HVAC in attic
I am in Massachusetts
Your :censored: spray foam contractor monkeyed up your roof ventilation and design.
Big N8 is dead on.
Call that joker back and tell him he is on the hook for the roof and leaks.
The spray foam needs to be removed from the soffits and the underside of the roof where it meets the kneewall.
The kneewall should have been foamed as Big N8 says and the joists underneath the kneewall should have been blocker'ed and sealed.
Adding more vents is fine if you want to add them midway up the roof where the roof meets the kneewall with something like a shingle over vent (http://www.airvent.com/homeowner/pro...-theedge.shtml).
I would tell the contractor he is on the hook and make him fix it.
The roof hasnt leaked yet, I jsut know it is going to. we had one small snow storm and I could see the potential for the probelm at midway up the roof. Fortunatly the temperatures stayed warm and the snow melted, but I could see how the snow formed little damns already.... I took many pictures.
There is going to be no way to remove the foam unless I take the roof off, given the construction of the house and built ins in the kneww all etc.
The contractor is insisting he did nothing wrong,t here was no way to put in baffles to get the ait from the soffit.
But now he wants to put on a larger ridge vent, and more soffit vents on the back roof to get more air flow. Or remove emerything and do icynene. I dont want him back in my house to be honest with you....
Is that vent you mentionted something that can go under the shingles? Was your thought that I could put it above the foam in the roof line to get the air on that part of the roof and leave the foam?
I have my original roofer coming today so hopefully...
By building inspector, do you mean the town building inspector, or someone who inspects home when youa re sellign them etc?
If I could get that money back, it would at least help reduce the cost of what it is going to take to fix it!
That or a roofer that understands ventilation.
The spray foam contractor basically UN-engineered what was a working system.
Without the questions asked, I couldn't establish if your SPF could still cause you diffusion problems adding mold to the sheathing for your location by just leaving it in place. According to science, you are fine because of the thickness; see the chart for your Zone 5A- same as Chicago--- if only 2" thick and high indoor humidity- you would be at risk: http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...d-roof-systems
1. Do you know the brand name of the ridge vent, or does your roofer know the NFVA of it? This would tell you if a larger vent is required….
2. Describe the existing soffit venting.
3. He SPF the entire ½ roof (including the slope ceiling) and where is the cellulose with the mold located? In that small knee wall attic? He was correct in SPF of that whole side, so long as the attic air cannot reach the small attic space. Did he block/spray the top edge of the SPF sloped ceiling, air-tight? Is the rest of the attic ventilated enough: http://www.airvent.com/homeowner/pro...it-specs.shtml
4. Does the cellulose have attic air above it (vented) everywhere it is installed?
"I am watching the snow melt from the top of my roof line right up to where the end of the foam insualtion ends. Obviously this is going to create a new ice damn at that point which is well above the water and ice barrier. The contractor said he did nothing wrong, The house has heat leakage in th attic that needs to be addressed."-------
The ice dams/snow melt are from not air sealing the attic floor before installing the existing insulation. http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...d-135-ice-dams
For other readers: http://www.wag-aic.org/1999/WAG_99_baker.pdf
"The contractor said he did nothing wrong, The house has heat leakage in th attic that needs to be addressed."-------
Correct. He did SPF the roof deck to create a "conditioned attic"; Fig.2, see chart: http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...rchterm=attic+
He was right-on with the warning he gave, did you do anything with the air sealing?
Your SPF installation is correct, leave it alone. You need to air-seal under the cellulose to stop the air leaks by chases/elect./plumbing holes vs. diffusion: pp.17 in article: http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...researchreport
Ideally, you would have discussed air sealing and had him do that as well as under the knee walls with SPF when present; http://www.familyhandyman.com/DIY-Pr...s/Step-By-Step
I can't stress the importance of air-sealing enough: http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/...stop-air-leaks
Have your roofer fix the roof leaks and do a quality inspection of the whole roof, (also check your NFVA), as you learned- any leak on the cellulose from above without enough ventilation will mold.

Repositioning a door latch / striker plate
1 Attachment(s)
Hello, we moved into a home where the builder might not have had a straight eye... A lot of the doors do not latch in place because the position of the striker plate is too high/low.
Obviously the easy way would be to drill a new hole and position the plate accordingly. The problem is the correct position of the plate would end up having a screw in the middle of the current hole.
I was wondering, would wood filler be enough to hold it in place? Or do I need to chisel out a long strip, put in a strip of wood and then start as if I was doing it from scratch?
Or is there a better way?
The red on the image is where the new screws have to go if the above was not described correctly :)
Nice PIC! Seems like alot of settling (opinions from the carpenters?) Check your exact strike position with some lipstick.
- I would check the door hinges first to see if it needs to be rehung/adjusted.
- I have used two part wood epoxy to built up this sort of thing - using poplar dowels to give some structure as needed.
This isn't an uncommon problem. Most of the time the people at the factory rout the strike recesses in the wrong place. The installer then installs the strike in the factory recess which is mis-aligned. Wood filler won't hold the screw well enough. Recut the recess for the strike in the correct location, then use a screw that will reach into the stud behind the jamb. Usually a 2" or 2-1/2" #8 screw will do it. Use filler where the old recess can't be hidden. If you spray some teflon lube on the back of the strike plate and the screw, before you install them, you can take them back off after the filler hardens so you can sand it smooth. That way you won't lose your proper location.
Glue and toothpicks normally will work. However, I really feel something else is going on here. Are most of the doors this far off? As Leah suggests above, checking hinges, plumbness, square opening?
I am assumming these are pre-hung doors, and it appears to me that the hinge side has slipped down or the house has shifted.( at least with this door in the pic) When the door is closed, is the gap (the reveal) around the door (top & sides) all the same? Do the doors self open or close when not latched? Re-aligment of the door itself maybe a better solution, it appears the molding either has been taken off, or never installed. Now would be the time to hang the door properly.
Btw, hanging a door improperly isn't all that uncommon either.
i keep toothpicks and golf tees in the toolbox for that very problem. little glue, tap in lightly with a hammer, cut it off, good as new.
Thanks for all the replies
The picture I just took off the internet and MSPainted it to show where they needed to be. Sorry if that caused confusion
I guess I exaggerated... there are only 3 doors that are this way, home built in 2002 and we are not the original owners so I'm not sure how the doors were made
If I open the door and put a level on the side and on the top, they look level. The door stays shut (until the dog pushes it open). The hinges look OK, flush on the door and on the frame, but not sure what exactly I'm looking for. I dont have a proper square, but using a hard cover book the frame seems square
So for the toothpick/golf tee/dowel and glue solution, just break those up and put in the hole with the glue and let sit? Thats pretty simple and clever hehe thx :)
No, you slobber glue on the full peices. Then you tap then in solidly with a small hammer. Let it dry, then cut the "T" or whatever you used flush with the surface.
But you drive it in whole to be sure you got it well packed in there.
ah lol, good thing I came back here to check just incase... that would have been a disaster
thank you
You would need to plug the latch hole with a piece of solid wood or a plug of plywood. The toothpick/golf tee scenario is for enlarged screw holes.

Microsoft User CAL Changes: What it means for you
As the nature of the cloud evolves, so too does its licensing models. In the past, organizations were set up with licensing on a "per device" basis, but with the ongoing consumerization of IT and the proliferation of new devices (mobile phones, tablets, ultrabooks, etc.) in the workplace, many organizations are looking to cut costs by shifting focus to the user rather than the device.
To address this shift, Microsoft is raising the cost of its User Client Access License (CAL) licensing model. Effective Dec. 1, 2012, the cost of the following User CALs will increase 15 percent:
- Bing Maps Server CAL
- Core CAL Suite
- Enterprise CAL Suite
- Exchange Server Standard and Enterprise CAL
- Lync Server Standard, Enterprise, and Plus CAL
- Project Server CAL
- SharePoint Server Standard and Enterprise CAL
- System Center 2012 Client Management Suite
- System Center Configuration Manager
- System Center Endpoint Protection
- Visual Studio Team Foundation Server CAL
- Windows Multipoint Server CAL
- Windows Server CAL
- Windows Server Remote Desktop Services CAL, Terminal Services CAL
- Windows Server Rights Management Services CAL
What does this mean for you? Continue Reading…

Let's not mince words: though Windows RT's simplistic camera interface is nice, the HD cameras on the Surface are rubbish. This is the only aspect of Microsoft's tablet that left us genuinely disappointed. Both front and rear units support 720p video that's fine for video-chatting, but you really don't want to take any important snaps using Surface.
Compared to the fast glass, high fps shooting, quick AF, 1080p video and LED flash support on some rival tablets, the cameras here are pitiful. Even relatively well-lit stills lack detail, decent contrast, good focus and all the other essentials for a nice pic. Arguably this is not a big deal as there's always your phone or dedicated camera, but it's far from ideal to be so far behind the competition on what is, after all, Microsoft's only tablet for now.
Windows RT is virtually indistinguishable from regular Windows 8, and that's a good thing. All the advantages over 'vanilla' Android and iOS operating systems are present: proper multi-tasking, universal split-screen, a 'desktop' Windows interface familiar to those used to Windows 7, and more.
Read the full Windows 8 review here
For example, you know Adobe's Flash? The iPad has never been able run it, and since Android version 4.1 AKA Jelly Bean, Google's OS no longer plays nice with it either. But Windows RT still supports it – albeit with some caveats. Microsoft keeps a 'white list', to which websites need to apply before they will work on RT. Mind you, this is not totally a bad thing, as it means that all Flash content that'll work on the Surface won't crash your tablet.
Then there's how everything just works. Not just popular Flash websites but pictures and documents in all kinds of formats will happily be read by Windows RT - and if the OS can't read it, it will present you with apps that can.
On multi-tasking, in the tile interface formerly known as Metro you can view two apps simultaneously with a 1/3 – 2/3 split. It's not always ideal and obviously it doesn't work that well for all the Windows Store apps, especially given the Surface's 1,366 x 768 resolution. However, it's great for keeping an eye on things like IM, news feeds, twitter, notifications and the like. And if you fancy traditional split-screen multi-tasking, just pop into the Desktop interface.
No other tablet OS lets you do this, though Samsung has modified Android on its Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet and Galaxy Note 2 phablet to allow a semblance of it for a limited number of apps.
In the desktop mode you can also tinker with Windows' innards like no other mobile OS, calling up a command prompt and even going so far as to mess around with the registry (simply type 'regedit' into Run). This allows you to mess with the guts of the OS, and there are apps that will let you make significant changes too. As mobile operating systems go, Windows RT is a geek's wet dream.
Perhaps best of all is that you can plug in so many of the same peripherals you're used to using with your computer or laptop and they just work. No hacks, tweaks, apps, drivers, adapters or any hassle: simply plug in a mouse, keyboard, printer, webcam and the like and, chances are, it will work flawlessly within seconds. The same goes for game controllers.
You do need to keep in mind that Windows RT has been designed for ARM devices, and your legacy X86 software for Windows XP/Vista/7 etc won't work on RT – nor will new apps for Windows 8 until they're ported. There's also a major lack of choice on the Windows app store, especially compared to Android and iOS. But with apps being easy to port from Win8 and lots of developer incentives to get behind the latest versions of the world's biggest OS, we don't think the app drought will last long.
Our only major complaint with Windows RT itself (and Windows 8 when used on a mobile device) is that there is no way to see remaining battery life in a percentage without going into the desktop, something Microsoft will hopefully fix soon with an update.

I'd love one of these but at either price it'll be a bit too rich for my blood. I was hoping Microsoft would have at least one smaller model that would compete with the Kindle Fire in terms of pricing, but with full Windows functionality; clearly the two markets they're aiming at instead are iPad/Transformer-level Androids and Ultrabook/MacBook Air laptops. Fingers crossed the forthcoming Google Nexus tablet is more in line with my limited budget...
FYI, on the spec sheet it says it does have a microSD on the RT model and a microSDXC on the Pro.
@Mathieu D:
Who knows, maybe my pricing estimates will prove too high, or perhaps Microsoft will introduce a cheaper tablet down the line. With quality sub-£300 tablets coming to market, either/both seem likely enough.
(awesome user name btw :)
Thanks for the comment - amended.
Wow, the pro version is almost perfect. It's what I have been waiting for; one device to replace everything.
By including a micro-DisplayPort they have done what nearly all ultrabooks have so far failed to do; support 1080p+ resolutions for external displays!
My only concern is the weight. Maybe too heavy for a tablet, for my usage anyway. I already find the iPad 3 too heavy for prolonged use. If it's too heavy then may as well get a laptop and separate lighter tablet.
A couple of unanswered questions: memory does it have and screen quality?
MSFT has probably decided these form factors are the future of personal computing - hence Windows 8, and it's probably right. But I still want a bigger screen on my desktop and a smaller screen for a mobile/tablet. I don't think I'm alone in this and Win 8 as it stands doesn't effectively bridge that divide. I think the next couple of years are going to be interesting, but tricky ..
If Microsoft get the pricing right, they could potentially take on Apple and Android. The design looks good and I just hope they don't cut corners. This could finally bring Microsoft into the tablet arena and hopefully design their own phone as well (assuming they have their eye on Nokia as a potential purchase).
I really hate the look and feel of Windows 8. I really like the look of these tablets.
Having just returned my 3rd TF300 tablet (dodgy screens) and been issued a refund, I'm now looking around again for another tablet in future months. A jailbroken iPad 2 or 3 has appeal, but these 2 MS tablets would be preferable for my intended use.
Sadly, with no proper hands on time being given to hacks, virtually no concrete specs (or intended specs), no intended release dates and nothing due for sale for a long time, this has the makings of vapour-ware written all over it.
I hope they get made. And in time to still be relevant in a market that evolves day to day, waiting 4-5 months for availability is just not going to work.
Indeed, I'm thinking the same - IF that stylus is pressure-sensitive :)
Regarding DisplayPort, actually HDMI 1.4 (which is what the Ultrabooks you mention have) supports resolutions higher than 1080p too - and the Asus Zenbook [http://www.trustedreviews.c...], for one, had both HDMI and DisplayPort...
As to the unanswered questions, I've updated the article with some speculation regarding those - have a read if you like :)
Let me ease your concerns: these tablets are very far from vapour-ware, they're the flagship product from one of the biggest companies in the world with a proven track record in hardware (Xbox, Zune, Mice, Keyboards, etc).
They've undergone extensive testing and engineering. All specs aside from RAM have been confirmed, as have the estimated release dates - they're in the article. ("a few months" is definitely less than 4-5 btw).
Good summary of what essentially is an unreleased piece of kit. No one at the briefing actually held/touched one of these- lest touch the keyboards (which may be great). The demo was pretty light on actual software. Reminds me of when RIM released the PlayBook to speculative fanfare. Let's judge these when they ship or when you get a chance to use it without MS's PR flacks hovering.
@Ardjuna I see this very differently to you.
These two products are nothing but vapourware until they are actually available to purchase. Neither of these products are available for journalists to test today, nothing is for sale, no sales dates have been announced, everything is up in the air. The tablet even froze up and had to be swapped out in the live presentation! I'd view this move more as a market manipulation exercise in the short-term.
In the long-term, these products may come to market...if they can create enough space in the market and generate & maintain a level of hype that as yet, Microsoft has never achieved before, whilst juggling the moods of the OEM manufacturers without annoying them too much to the point where they just ditch W8.
If these products were to both come to market in say, 12 weeks time, then maybe, just maybe they would have enough relevance to gain traction in the market - IF they are priced very competitively.
Then there's the issue of the hardware / apps:
'Surface' will run only Metro W8 ARM compiled apps = None (yet)
'Surface Pro' uses at Full HD display on only 11.6" and supports all older windows programs. I don't know about you, but I think that using a keyboard and mouse and stylus will be necessary to be productive on such a small screen! Preferably using the HDMI out to a bigger screen too.
All they seem to have done is move all the gubbins of an ultrabook from under the keyboard to behind the screen, thus making it impossible to use on your lap. Which is silly because it ain't exactly light!
Interesting times ahead. That's for sure :)
ElectricSheep:"@Ardjuna I see this very differently to you.

Not vaporware... :D
Did you mention battery life, Ardjuna? I can't see it anywhere.
Interesting that the TR reviewer considers this device light in weight - whereas TR has in the past made much of the lighter iPad range feeling heavy!
But moving on from TR's editorial spin ;-)
It still seems to me that Microsoft have completed confused the general population - the number of people who assume Windows RT is just Windows 8 and will run all their normal desktop software may become a significant hiccup or mis-fire for MS.
I'll be watching closely - but certainly your average Joe doesn't understand that and ARM-based device wont be suitable for managing their photo library in Photoshop Elements and their music collection in iTunes!
Perhaps MS should have followed the "Windows Phone 8" precedent and gone with "Windows Tablet 8" to make the distinction somewhat clearer than "Windows RT" does.
Thanks for the comment, Hans.
I didn't, as I'm hoping to update with the full review soon rather than giving an estimate based on components and capacity.
Actually I use light in relation to the metal rather than the tablet :)
It all depends on what you compare to too, don't forget the Surface is closer to an 11-inch tablet, while the iPad has a smaller-than 10-inch screen.
As to the confusion thing, you're spot-on there, and the RT suffix isn't particularly enlightening. But yeah, apparently Microsoft wanted to use our initials backwards ;)
@Arduna - 5 months after my original comment & 2 years late to market with a confusing line up of (not cheap) products & software...no, it's no longer vapourware but this will be a rocky road to success.
I still don't see any appeal in W8. I just can't get passed the Fisher-Price tiles. Horrid. The RT based tablets, whilst a good design, are overpriced considering the limitations of the OS. The Pro Surface tablets are not going to be far off the price and weight of a decent Ultrabook.
I think i'll do a Vista on the entire next generation of Windows products, and sit this one out ;)
The above comments are all based on the preview, just to avoid any possible confusion :)
I have seen alot of comments about how windows rt eats into a significant part of you storage space meaning that the 32gb version actually has much closer to 16gb of space. That reduces the value equation significantly vs its ipad and android rivals. How much did you find that to be the case?
As I mention in the review on page 3, Windows RT AND Office 2013 plus the other pre-installed apps use under 12GB, so you'll still have more available free storage than a 16GB iPad or Android tablet. It's also worth remembering that you can expand the storage using microSDXC.
Hope that helps :)
The big downside for me seems to be the inability to use the keyboard in portrait orientation. I do a lot of text work, so abandonned laptops will their fixation on widescreen for an iPad, which I can use any orientation I like. I'd seriously consider moving back to MS but only if this too has the flexibility to type with it in portrait.
I don't know of many devices that let you use a (good) physical keyboard in portrait mode...
If you're talking about a virtual keyboard, then the Surface - or rather, Windows RT - will let you use it in any orientation you please, including portrait :)
We have a Microsoft surface tablet, we are in Peru & no wi if connection. We have bought a dongle which apparently isn't compatible with the tablet .. How can we get Internet connection?
I need help with my cover keyboard and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but it's not working! I've connected it properly, I can assure you that and it's new. It worked for about two days and now for the past week or two, it just stopped responding. Please reply! So frustrated.
I had a similar problem and finally 'refreshed' the tablet after which everthing functioned well
And with jump drive (flash drive)

Quality Mandarin teachers – from great teachers come great students
When it comes down to learning Mandarin it is the quality of the person sitting alongside you and how they help you that is most important. Here at Beijing Mandarin School we do a lot to make sure you get the best possible mandarin teachers. So here is how we do this.
Recruit the best teachers of Chinese
All of our teachers have spent at least 4 years studying at a university and all are degree qualified. Most of our teachers have studied Teaching Chinese as a Second Language at the respected Beijing Language and Culture University. Other teachers come from well recognized institutions such as the Beijing International Studies University, the Capital Normal University and the University of International Business and Economics.
An outstanding new teacher training program
We really believe that our teaching methods set us apart. Because of this, every teacher that starts with us receives at least 2 months of training, no matter what their previous experience. During these training months they learn about our teaching methods and systems, meaning our teachers are united in their approach. Our trainee teachers also teach at our Free Public Classes so they gain more 'face time' with students. Until we know that a teacher meets our own standards, we don't let them train paying students. It's that simple!
Regular teacher workshops
As well as daily teachers briefings, we also hold an all day workshop every month which is attended by all teachers. These workshops focus on different parts of the training process and we often use videos of the training process in action to help structure our ongoing learning.
A dedicated Head of Teacher Training.
We think the quality of teachers is so important that we have a staff member dedicated full time to the development and training of teachers. Sandy puts her many years of language teaching experience to good use and does a great job with new teachers.
Teachers with specialist skills
As well as having teachers that also speak English, Japanese and French, we also have teachers that have specialist teaching areas.
We give you choice
We have over 60 teachers so we try to match you with a teacher that we think is suited to your needs. Because we have a large team of teachers we are always more than happy to let you change teachers if you feel you need something or someone different.

Too little, too late!
is a response to the University administration's plan
(Almanac February
18) to deal with a possible terrorist strike,
near or inside of the Penn community. I, as a staff
member, find this letter too little, too late. Why?
It seems that the University did not want to inform
us in the beginning of this on September 11, 2001
when the World Trade Center was brought down by terrorists
and the continued threat to harm or kill more people
by Al-Qaeda and their Cell members in this country.
Yet President Judith Rodin and her administration
has a plan in place to evacuate her staff if there
is an attack near the Penn campus. It seems that the
rest of us are on our own.
have always thought that the faculty and the staff
and even the students should be better prepared to
deal with a potential attack, yet nothing was done
about it. How come the administration has not conducted
any type of "Training" to deal with a potential
emergency? It would be a good idea, a training program
is warranted. The Department of Homeland Security
has informed all employers to help prepare an Emergency
Plan for its employees and to inform them not only
by a "Website" but to conduct seminars also.
They do it for other matters, why not emergency planning?
is always the same story, if there is a serious problem
developing, it is time to rely on oneself to make
the decisions and take charge, but this Emergency
Plan is too little too late. It is up to us to make
the best out of a situation instead of relying on
those who finally "Wake-up" out of their
sleep and tell us, the staff, faculty and students
that Penn has an "Emergency Plan."
Charles F. King, Jr. Employee,
Facilities Services
Out welcomes reader contributions.
Short, timely letters on
University issues will
be accepted by Thursday at
noon for the following Tuesday's
issue, subject to right-of-reply
guidelines. Advance
notice of intention to submit
is appreciated. --Eds.

The Florida Department of Transportation engineers have figured out a way to make the Dock/C Street bridge, one of three to be replaced, 3 feet higher than the current bridge and to install a temporary bridge during demolition and construction so businesses on Dock Street don't suffer a loss of business.
And the good news is that the plan for construction of the $4.6 million structure will begin in Fiscal Year 2019 that begins on July 1, 2018, instead of the previously mentioned FY 2021.
