Transformed man ... Will Smith in Six Degrees of Separation (left) and I, Robot
When the final tally of summer superhero movies is taken, it will be interesting to see where Hancock ranks. I'm talking about audiences' affections rather than box-office figures. With Will Smith, officially the world's second most bankable star (after Johnny Depp), in the lead role as an immortal being who happens also to be an anti-social, alcoholic layabout, the executives at Sony must already be dreaming about the zeroes on their end-of-year bonuses. But will the scuzziness essential to the role of John Hancock, everyman superhero, simply slide straight off Smith's wipe-clean persona?
The film is inspired by other flawed-superhero movies such as Mystery Men, The Incredibles and The Return of Captain Invincible. And you can see too the imprint of those lovely moments in Superman III when the Man of Steel turns beastly. (It also made me recall fondly Mike Myers' Saturday Night Live character Middle-Aged Man, who has the power to understand mortgages, or the Second City troupe's Apathy Man, who has the same powers as Superman but can't be bothered to use them.)
Hancock is interesting because it broaches the subject of how heroes and idols are made in the public eye. A PR whizkid (Jason Bateman) whose life is saved by Hancock comes on board as his image advisor, and launches a campaign to smarten up this reviled do-gooder and make him loved again.
The whole movie is dedicated to restoring before our very eyes the Will Smith that we have paid loyally to see in different get-ups, different scenarios, over the last decade or more. When we shell out to see a star vehicle, we are effectively paying insurance premiums which we get back in the form of more precious time with that chosen celebrity. If the star strays from the persona we have paid to see upheld - as Jim Carrey did, bravely and memorably, in The Cable Guy - audiences are likely to take it as an affront, rather than seeing it as a sign of creative experimentation.
What we're getting in Hancock is essentially a metaphor for the making of Will Smith. When he's grubby and unappealing at the start of the film, goosing women and boozing on the job, you could see that as the equivalent of making Six Degrees of Separation, Fred Schepisi's 1993 masterpiece in which Smith was so very good, but clearly box-office poison, as a gay con-man who charms and lies and screws his way into the homes of Manhattan's elite.
Just as Hancock squanders the public's initial goodwill to go his own way, so Smith's role in Six Degrees delivered a slap in the face to the family audiences who rooted for him on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Stars don't behave that way. Stars are soothing and reassuring. Many real-life equivalents of the PR in Hancock must have passed through Smith's life subsequently, instructing him on how best to put that whole Six Degrees lark in the past and become a box-office superhero.
And he is. It has already been proven that Smith's persona can survive the transition to any genre. He's been big in science-fiction, whether straight-up (I Am Legend or I, Robot), comedic (a brace of Men in Black movies) or action-oriented (Independence Day). He does shoot-'em-ups (the Bad Boys flicks), romcom (Hitch), animation (Shark Tale) and Oscar-baiting Proper Acting (Ali, The Pursuit of Happyness). Here is a man who strolled away unscathed from Wild Wild West: even on the rare occasion when the film flops, he doesn't. He's bulletproof.
The same thing happens in Hancock - the whole film is structured around the PR's attempts to finally get his client to be polite and respectable, to wear a nice slinky superhero costume, to play the game and toe the line. But some of us might see that as a compromise. Some of us liked him better at the start, when he was drunk and disreputable but impervious to the deadening gloss of PR.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Baltimore has taken a bold step in the direction of the franchise and have decided to rebuild their team. Baltimore traded two of its biggest names in SS Miguel Tejada and ace pitcher Erik Bedard. Bedard stayed in the AL by being traded to Seattle and Tejada made the jump to the NL with the Houston Astros. Both players have left big holes at their positions and also they left a lot of questions and uncertainties. You may be asking yourself who on this team will have a significant impact on your fantasy season? Well let us have a look:
Nick Markakis, OF: Markakis followed up his impressive rookie year with a fantastic sophomore season. He had 23 HR and 112 RBI for an Oriole club that was short on offense. Heck, he even threw in 18 steals. He is still young and developing so the skills he has now are only getting better. However, with Baltimore rebuilding, I can't expect Markakis to put up similar RBI and run numbers. He may be the only source of power and he also has the stolen base potential.
Pete's Prediction: 90 R, .290 AVG, 28 HR, 96 RBI, 16 SB
Brian Roberts, 2B: It is a fact, after Chase Utley, the 2B department is shallow. Second base is the 2nd most shallow position after catcher. This does not mean that you cant get quality at the position. Enter Brian Roberts. Last season, Roberts set career highs in hits (180), walks (89), and stolen bases (50). The increase in walks lead to the stolen base opportunities and I honestly can't see why Roberts can't repeat what he did last season. If he gets on base, you can expect 40+ steals easy. In the SportsofBoston Friends and Family League where we count doubles, Roberts moves up a few notches in the rankings. In three of his past four seasons, Roberts has 40+ doubles. Batting lead-off means he will have the most chances to score runs. However, on a rebuilt team, those runs are far and few between.
Pete's Prediction: 86 R, .285 AVG, 10 HR, 50 RBI, 41 SB
Jeremy Guthrie, SP: Wow, what happened here? Guthrie posted an ERA of 2.74 before the All Star Break including ERAs of 1.78 in May and 1.69 in June. He then proceeded to fall off the face of the earth where his ERA blew up to 5.03 post break. 2007 marked Guthrie's first full season as a starter and he once again joins an abysmal Baltimore rotation. Considering his May and June were outstanding and never again to be duplicated, I would advise not investing in Guthrie or any starter in the rotation. Frankly speaking, Guthrie is only being written about because I would have felt bad not including at least one starting pitcher in this report.
Pete's Prediction: 9 W, 4.40 ERA, 135 K
Adam Jones, OF: The big prize coming out of the Erik Bedard trade, Jones looks to be the everyday CF for Baltimore. The uber prospect played 101 games for AAA Tacoma in 2007 where he 25 HR and 84 RBI to go along with a .314 AVG. The majors were another story. Jones never got an everyday gig, but did manage to log 65 at bats. The problem with that was he hit .246 with only two homeruns and four RBI. Can he flourish in an environment that gives him regular playing time? I really don't think so.
Pete's Prediction: 62 R, .263 AVG, 17 HR, 71 RBI, 4 SB
Baltimore Relievers: It's draft day and you need a closer. You check all your sources and try to figure out who the closer for the Orioles is. Well it is anybody's guess at this point. Newly acquired George Sherrill seems to be the front runner. He had a good season in the Seattle bullpen going 2-0 with a 2.36 ERA. For those of you hoping for a quick recovery for Chris Ray, keep looking elsewhere. Ray is scheduled to begin a throwing program soon, but not in time to make a significant impact. The closer role seems to be by committee and that just means you should look elsewhere for saves.
Next up, the Toronto Blue Jays.
Tags: Adam Jones, AL East, Baltimore Orioles, Brian Roberts, Chris Ray, Erik Bedard, Fantasy, George Sherrill, Jeremy Guthrie, Miguel Tejada, Nick Markakis
Where is Daniel Cabrera? He'll be a monster!
Daniel Cabrera? If you want a guy who will walk over 100 batters in a season, then by all means draft him.
Several young pitchers might be worthwhile such as Troy Patton and Adam Loewen. Chris Ray should rebound somewhat as a reliever.
Sherrill is having a hell of a year so far. Let's hope he can keep it up!

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton, the majors' leading hitter and a top AL MVP candidate, has two fractured ribs but has not been ruled out for the season.
The injury was revealed Tuesday. Hamilton has not played for the AL West- leading Rangers since crashing into a wall while making a catch Sept. 4 at Minnesota. The outfielder had already been dealing with stiffness in his back when that happened.
Tests found the "small stable fracture in the seventh and eighth ribs" that two previous X-rays and an MRI did not show on Monday.
General manager Jon Daniels said Hamilton was given an anti-inflammatory injection and an epidural nerve-block injection for pain.
Padres' Hairston back on DL with leg injury
LOS ANGELES - San Diego Padres infielder Jerry Hairston Jr. is going back on the disabled list, barely a week after he came off it.
Hairston, a key contributor for the Padres in their bid to win the NL West title, has a stress fracture of his right tibia and he will be out four-to-six weeks.
Hairston came off the 15-day DL on Sept. 12 after having a strained right elbow.
He said if the Padres advance to the NL championship series he might try to play.
Hairston is hitting .249 with a career high-tying 10 home runs and a career-best 50 RBIs. He filled in while shortstop Everth Cabrera and then second baseman David Eckstein served stints on the DL.
Mauer's MRI shows only minor injury
MINNEAPOLIS - The Minnesota Twins say an MRI on Joe Mauer's sore left knee shows only tissue inflammation and no structural damage.
Manager Ron Gardenhire says Mauer may need a cortisone shot to help with the pain, but only expects him to be out for a few more days. If he does take a shot, Gardenhire said the reigning AL MVP will miss four or five games tops.
It's a big relief for the Twins, who have been without slugger Justin Morneau for more than two months because of a concussion.
Mauer is hitting .331 and is a big reason for the team's surge to the top of the standings. He is batting .383 since the All-Star break.
The Twins entered Tuesday night's game against Cleveland with a magic number of two to clinch the AL Central title.
Cubs' Colvin remains hospitalized but stable
CHICAGO - Chicago Cubs outfielder Tyler Colvin remained in stable condition Tuesday in a Miami hospital after part of a broken bat punctured his chest.
The season-ending injury occurred during the second inning of Sunday's 13-3 win over the Florida Marlins.
Colvin was standing at third base when he was struck by a sliver of Welington Castillo's broken bat. Castillo doubled on the play and Colvin scored.
Interim Cubs manager Mike Quade said Colvin seemed to be "in better spirits" when they spoke Monday and that it "sounds like the prognosis is very good."

Boulevard Theatre
900 George Washington Boulevard,
1 person favorited this theater
The Boulevard Theatre was opened on May 17, 1945, and was part of the Boulevard Shopping Center.

On the below web sites I suspect that the Boulevard and 1944 Fox Boulevard are one and the same,
View link
View link
The Fox Boulevard Theatre was the corporate headquarters of the Amateur Poker League AKA WPTAPL from 2004 to 2009. In March 2009, it became the Boulevard Banquet Hall, LLC owned and operated by Blake and Erika Baty. You can visit our website at www.bbhall.com
It was a Gold's Gym back in the 1980's. Closed sometime in the 1970's.
Based on the 'flickr' picture above they really butchered the place. It kind of had an old english look.
The two 'towers' in front held the attraction signage, you can see where the sign was bolted to them. The building was made of red brick which has been painted. The smaller boarded up part would have been the boxoffice. The stores on the George Washington Blvd. side all had glass fronts. That would be the extent of the 'shopping center.' Parking was behind the theatre and you would walk through the breeze way between the stores and the theatre to get to the front of the theatre. A huge Sears store was directly across the street.
When I worked for Mann in Wichita this theatre was where the ads were created. In the upper left corner of the building was the ad room, and the manager, Buddy Brown, who was very creative, drew up the ads for all the Wichita Mann theatres. He would take a black pen that was dipped in ink and draw out the borders, some borders would be cut from the Mann borders and I would go in with rubber cement and cut and paste the title art of the movie to the page. In that office was an extensive library of probably 1950 to 1975 (when I worked there) newspaper ad slicks.
If you should happen to have a link to the article you are writing about please post it as I would like to read it.
I worked at one time in the district office for Mann out of the former Mall Cinema on East Harry street. There were numerous discussions about twinning many of the theatres in our district. In the discussions about the Boulevard it was decided that it would not be practical because the auditoriums would be very long and narrow, much more than the Fox Garvey in downtown Wichita. Adding an additional auditorium would not work because of the shops on either side of the theatre, not enough space. There was discussion about adding an auditorium at the back of the building, but that would cut into the parking lot. So if this theatre was actually twinned I am not aware of it, it was discussed at length, but as far as I not followed through with.
May 15 1974 and "BLAZZING SADDLES" is showing.at 7:40 and 9;30.
It was a stunning marquee, you can still see the upright 'poles' in the picture at the top of this page. Thanks for posting. —jw
The Boulevard opened on May 17, 1945. It's first showing was "Diamond Horseshoe", starring Betty Grable.

Each Thursday, Brian Rice will take a look back at the Lowe's #DefiningMoments. This week, November has been magic for the Volunteers, never more so than in 1998.
By Brian Rice
The month of November has long been a strong point in the story of Tennessee Football.
Since the 1985 Volunteers used a 5-0 month of November to clinch the SEC Championship and a spot in the Sugar Bowl, UT teams are 95-16 in the month. 17 times in that span, Tennessee has gone undefeated in the month, with those perfect months leading to conference or division titles in 1985, 89, 97, 98, 2001 and 2007.
Even more impressive are the SEC numbers in that stretch. Tennessee lost to Kentucky at Neyland Stadium on Nov. 24, 1984, but would not lose another SEC game in the month of November until a trip to Fayetteville, Ark. On Nov. 13, 1999. At home, the SEC November streak continued until Nov. 19, 2005, when Vanderbilt claimed a 28-24 win, the first by a conference opponent in over two decades.
On Nov. 14, 1998, Tennessee needed a little bit of November magic to keep the streak going, along with another win streak that was a little more significant in the present tense.
The Volunteers entered the meeting with the Arkansas as the newly minted No. 1 team in the country, a perfect 8-0 after a win over UAB a week earlier. Across Shields-Watkins field stood the Razorbacks, also 8-0 under first-year head coach Houston Nutt and ranked No. 10.
UA jumped out to a 14-0 lead midway through the second quarter as Razorback QB Clint Stoerner tossed a pair of touchdown passes. After a Jeff Hall field goal finally put UT on the board, Stoerner struck again with his third TD pass, his second to Anthony Lucas, to put Arkansas up 21-3. Tee Martin found Peerless Price for a 36-yard TD with 2:03 left in the opening half to cut the lead to 21-10.
Arkansas extended its lead with a third-quarter field goal. But as the stadium lights took hold on a cool and rainy late fall afternoon, the game began to turn back Tennessee's way.
Martin cut the lead to seven with a four-yard TD run and Hall cut it further with a 21-yard field goal with 57 seconds left in the third. A blocked Arkansas field goal gave Tennessee great field position inside the UA 30. The Vols went backward instead, but were able to pin Arkansas on its own 1-yard line with a David Leaverton punt.
The Tennessee defense stood tall and forced a punt, but the ball never reached the hands of punter Chris Akin. The snap sailed over his head, leaving Akin with no play but to boot the ball backward to his own end zone for a safety.
UT took he ball at midfield after the ensuing kick, but a run and three incomplete passes ended the drive, and, it appeared, the perfect season. Enter November magic.
Leading 24-22, Arkansas needed only one first down to run out the clock. On second-and-12 with 1:43 to go, Stoerner rolled to his left, but the push from the Tennessee defensive line caused Stoerner to trip on the foot of offensive lineman Brandon Burlsworth. Stoerner attempted to use the football to steady himself, but as he stumbled, the ball came free from his hand, and Billy Ratliff lept on top of it to ensure UT would have one more shot at keeping the dream season alive.
From there, it was all Travis Henry. The sophomore ran for all 43 yards picked up on the five plays of Tennessee's final drive, with the final play described this way by the Vol Network's John Ward:
"They need to go to Henry. This will be Martin, this will be Henry, he dives...GIVE. HIM. SIX. That's all. TOUCHDOWN TENNESSEE...TRAVIS HENRY!"
Henry's 43 yards on the drive gave him a career-high 197 on the afternoon. An understandable excessive celebration penalty led Phillip Fulmer to call for a kneel-down instead of a long extra point try and a final score of 28-24.
As you may recall, Tennessee blew out Kentucky and Vanderbilt in the following weeks, 59-21 and 41-0, respectively to cap a perfect November and regular season. After a 24-14 win over Mississippi State in the SEC Championship Game, the Vols won the first BCS National Championship with a 23-16 victory over Florida State in the Fiesta Bowl.

Danny Koevermans is on a roll. The 32-year-old forward struck for both goals to help Toronto FC to a 2-1 victory over the defending MLS Cup champion Colorado Rapids at BMO Field on Saturday.
The Dutch native, who made his Toronto debut a scant two months ago, has scored six goals in seven league games to equal Brazilian Maicon Santos, who was traded to FC Dallas in August, and grab the joint lead in team goals.
Since returning from a hamstring injury, Koevermans has scored four goals in his two matches and was named MLS Player of the Week for his efforts.

"Every game I am so tired. Such a tough week, also with the Champions League in it, you have to travel so much," Koevermans said. "I'm tired but a lot of guys are also tired, a lot of guys are struggling. Today we get the points and when you win you don't feel it."
Koevermans struck in the 52nd minute. Midfielder Eric Avila sent a pass down the left side to Ashtone Morgan, who launched a cross into the middle of the penalty Koevermans, who scored. Eight minutes later, Koevermans connected with yet another cross -- by Nick Soolsma -- as he headed home a shot past goalkeeper Matt Pickens.
Late in the match, German midfielder Torsten Frings was moved to defense to help preserve the victory.
"Torsten's a midfield player," Toronto coach Aron Winter said. "We are lucky that he can play also there because when he wants to go up during the game, he's always free."
Toronto is six points outside of a wildcard playoff berth, but has only four games remaining. So, the Canadian club would have to run the table to have any chance to reach the post-season.
"If you watched the game, we were out there to win. It was a good game, especially after the tough game that we had this week in Mexico City," Winter said. "It was good what we showed against one of the teams that are going to play in the playoffs."
Timbers drop outside of final playoff spot
Diego Chara, Kenny Cooper and Darlington Nagbe tallied for the Portland Timbers in their 3-0 home victory over the New England Revolution. However, Portland didn't get much of a boost from other teams in their quest to capture a playoff berth. Two of the teams competing with the Timbers for the eighth, ninth and 10th playoff spots won their games and pushed the Timbers to 11th place in the playoff standings.
Houston rallied from a one-goal deficit to defeat San Jose 2-1 at Robertson Stadium and move to 39 points, three points ahead of the Timbers. Will Bruin scored in the 80th minute, his first goal since April 29, to give the Dynamo the comeback victory. Jamaican international Khari Stephenson gave the Earthquakes the lead, but Brad Davis converted a penalty kick for Houston.
On the plus side for Portland, Houston has played two more games than the Timbers and two of their final four games are on the road, where they are winless in 15 games this season.

The New York Red Bulls won at Dallas 1-0 allowing them to jump past Portland for the 10th and last playoff spot. The Red Bulls and Timbers both have 36 points, but the Red Bulls have the better goal differential.
Despite playing without stars Thierry Henry (Achilles injury) and Rafa Marquez (yellow-card accumulation), New York snapped an eight-game winless streak that lasted 73 days thanks to English striker Luke Rodgers, who started for the first time in more than two months and scored the lone goal in the 36th minute.
Portland's archival, Seattle, were the only team to help the Timbers. Alvaro Fernandez struck twice as the Sounders cooled off hot D.C. United with a 3-0 home triumph. Mike Fucito added a goal. D.C. United is now two points behind Portland, but they have played two less games than the Timbers. Seattle can clinch a playoff spot with a win over Vancouver next weekend.
LA continues to cruise atop the West as Philadelphia beats best in the East
Mike Magee scored two goals and Irish international Robbie Keane added one and set up another as the LA Galaxy blanked the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-0. The win moved Galaxy coach Bruce Arena into sole possession of second-place on the MLS all-time coaching wins chart with 125 as LA registered its 16th shutout this season.
Sebastien Le Toux tallied in the 32nd minute and the Philadelphia Union made sure the goal stood up in a 1-0 home victory over the Columbus Crew, which broke an eight-game winless streak. On Wednesday, the Crew and Houston Dynamo both snapped two-game losing streak in a 2-2 draw in Columbus, Ohio. Calen Carr connected for the equalizer in the 82nd minute for Houston, which also had a goal from Jamaican Je-Vaughn Watson. Argentine Andres Mendoza converted two penalty kicks for the Crew.

Defender Nat Borchers connected the lone goal in the 54th minute in Real Salt Lake's 1-0 win over Sporting Kansas City, which was denied an opportunity to move into the Eastern Conference lead. RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando made late saves on Jefferson and on C.J. Sapong. Salt Lake could secure a playoff spot by beating New York on Wednesday.
Dominic Oduro connected in the 85th minute to lift the host Chicago Fire to a 3-2 win over Chivas USA Saturday at Toyota Park. Cory Gibbs and an own goal by Chivas USA striker Juan Pablo Angel boosted Chicago to a 2-0 lead, but the visitors equalized behind Angel and Nick La Brocca.

Philippe Petit becomes a bird
Last week I hoped Man on Wire, a documentary about Philippe Petit's 45-minute walk, or dance, across the expanse between the World Trade Center towers in 1974, would make it to Seattle soon. It'll be here Friday. I won't be able to see it then — family coming to town — but next week for sure. Here's Moira Macdonald's interview with Petit in yesterday's Seattle Times. A nice graf:
"I remember absolutely everything," said Petit of the walk. "I did stop a few times, and I even sat down and observed down. The plaza was empty because it was still under construction. I saw some people looking up; after a while, a gigantic crowd." He remembers a seagull that hovered quite close to him for a few minutes, "gliding about me, looking at me as if to say, 'What is this guy doing here? What is this false bird invading my territory?' "
And I never get tired of this picture:

Marga Gomez
Marga abandoned teacher's college, felt unqualified for Spanish showbusiness since she didn't speak Spanish, and was unimpressed with Hollywood and its lack of Hispanic enlightenment. In 1976, she relocated from the Big Apple to San Francisco, seeking independence and the hippie life. Her initial stints, with theater groups Les Nicklettes and The San Francisco Mime Troupe, were brief; subsequently, after seeing a performance by feminist theater company, Lilith, Marga liked them so much that she auditioned and was hired. Thus followed 5 years of performing and touring which took Marga throughout the United States and to Europe. Her success with Lilith convinced Marga that she could make it on her own as a performer.
In 1982, Marga Gomez began her career as a solo act. And, she was rewarded early and profoundly: nominated for the San Francisco Cabaret Gold Awards "Outstanding Female Comedy Solo" in 1984, Marga went on to win in 1986, 1987, and 1988. 1988 was an especially good year for Marga; she not only won the "Outstanding Comedy" award but also "Entertainer of the Year," appeared on PBS' "Comedy Tonight" with Whoopi Goldberg as well as in the made-for-cable "Good Time Cafe." Most recently, Marga did VH1 "Stand-Up Spotlight" with Rosie O'Donnell in the summer of 1991 and co-hosted a benefit with Lily Tomlin. ~ Laura Post

Get Technical
Service could get pretty stormy for San Mateo, California-based PageDNA customers if it wasn't for cloud computing.
Cloud computing allows a retailer to rent Internet-based computing power and data storage to support its Web business. PageDNA recently migrated a lot of its offerings to Amazon Web Services.
"What this means to our customers is that we've ensured best-of-class business continuity for them," said president Doug Ballinger. "For example, should an earthquake or other disruption hit our datacenter in San Jose, Calif., Amazon takes over our hosting. In the same way that we believe our software allows our customers to focus on their strengths (selling printing), the cloud allows us to focus on creating great software rather than maintaining IT [information technology] infrastructure."
PageDNA and other companies such as the Beverly Hills, California-based EonCode are doing whatever they can to better serve customers, including using the most up-to-date technology.
For instance, PageDNA developed an online quoting technology that provides instant quotes. It also has a file upload tool aimed at the "sweet spot" of today's print market—short-run digital, Ballinger touted.
"Show me a customer who doesn't want an instant quote and the ability to upload files directly to [his or her] provider," he continued. "Let's face it, we live in an instant gratification world and print buyers are no different. If the quantity requested, or the job specifications dictate an offline quote, the specifications are sent to the provider. Our 'hold for quote' feature complements instant quotes by providing an uninterrupted shopping experience for customers (if they have other items to quote) while providing an online channel for the provider to handle more complex quotes."
Another new feature by PageDNA is its best of class variable print tool.
"Recently, we've created a mash-up between our quoting technology and our variable print solution to allow customers to easily upgrade paper stock or coatings and change prices on the fly for variable items," he said. "We are also rolling out new reporting options that should give our customers a much more robust and flexible tool that will satisfy their most inquisitive customers."

Using flex duct for return.
I am thinking of adding a second return duct to our house, mainly to reduce drafts and even out temperatures. System is a 3 ton heat pump, ecm air handler with 1200cfm max flow.
Our existing and only return is at one end of house and starts from 20x25 ceiling mounted filter/grille and elbow, reducing to 20x14 metal duct about 25ft long and terminates with sweep elbow leading into box at entrance to horizontal air handler. All of this is in unheated attic in Canada.
What seems the best option for the additional return will require a take-off off the existing sweep elbow, a 45 elbow, a straight run of about 12 ft. and a 90 elbow before entering new ceiling filter/grille boot.
Using pre-insulated flexible duct (12 or 14in) would likely be easiest install. Otherwise if metal is used, sealing joints and insulating will have to be done in place in a very tight area.
My questions:
- Is flex duct suitable for a return duct where pressure could be -0.5"wc ?
- Are there different grades of flex duct? Different materials ? Some of the stuff in box stores doesn't look too good!
- Insulation will need to a minimum of R12. Is flex duct available with R12? If not, would it be practicable to add a second layer or perhaps use uninsulated duct and pre insulate?
If I do this, I will be helped on a weekend by a tinbanger friend who works days on commercial HVAC jobs.
Any help in getting me up to speed would be appreciated!
Flex duct doesn't come in an R12 version, so you will have to wrap it.
Its fine to use for a return.
Did some Googling. Found one type called Quiet Flex that has a pressure rating of negative 0.5" and then Hart & Cooley with negative 0.75" . With almost new filter, we see -0.25", but this should drop with extra return. Seems -0.5" would be OK, but 0.75" better.
Quiet Flex is owned by Goodman and made locally, like Goodman, here in Houston.

I dont go to stores that place a minimum or charge a fee for CC. Especially when they charge a fee, or are charging more for gas. A business having a credit card is not required but is a luxury for the business. With that luxury comes cost. It is a cost of business. If they have a problem with the charges, stop accepting CC's and go back to cash only, then see how slow your business becomes.
There is sub shop that I used to frequent near my house, the last time I went there were signs stating that there is a .35 fee for CC use. I refuse to go back there unless I have cash which is rare. Imagine if they didnt accept CC's, how many people would not go there. They have lost my business.
The CC brings people into the business, it should already be factored into the price, as well as the electricity bill, or marketing costs.

By Chrystall Kanyuck
After the first serious "visuals" brainstorm of the Latinos in the Military project — with Andrew Long, Jason Manning and N21 fellows Chris Cameron and myself (Chrystall) — I'm thinking a lot about data, and how data tells a story.
When I think and read about data visualization, it's mostly about the aesthetics of the information and the way the user navigates through the information. As much as we want our data to look nice and be user-friendly, our story lends itself particularly well to what I think is a next step for journalism — a marriage of data visualization and narrative storytelling.
One way we might do this is to invite people into the narrative stories — videos in our case — with pieces of data. For example, the user could enter a page that says there are 1.1 million Latino veterans, then they see a million little dots representing the people, and then a few people pop up to represent the specific veterans in our story. This part might look a little like the 'Did You Know?' video we (at ASU at least) all love so much.
Another way we're thinking about the marriage of data and narrative is in relation to Faces of the Fallen. WashingtonPost.com shows us essential stats of all the folks that have died in the current conflicts, which is powerful because of its scale. Our approach might be an inverse of that; going much deeper with far fewer people.
Inspiration is on its way. I can feel it.

The internal affairs ministry plans to overhaul the system for auditing local governments' uses of state subsidies, it was learned Wednesday.
The ministry intends to have a panel of experts propose concrete improvements this year and seek revised laws, sources said.
Inspections by the Board of Audit of Japan in 2008-2010 determined that state subsidies were used for unintended purposes at all 47 prefectural governments as well as 18 designated big cities, with over ¥5 billion in such funds misappropriated.
Such misconduct should have been identified by the local government-level auditors, but because they are made up of local-level assembly members and experts, appointed by local government heads, their actual independence is in doubt.
The ministry panel is expected to discuss various reforms, including that auditors be appointed by assemblies and not include any members of such bodies, unlike the current situation, in which many prefectures and municipalities consider such postings as honorary, the sources said.
Also on the agenda may be better compensation and other measures for long-time auditor secretariat workers, who face frequent job changes at the local government level, according to the sources.

Gillette Fusion ProGlide With FlexBall Technology
Revealed: The Razor That Gives You The Closest Shave
Originally, we shaved with razors that were inflexible. Then Gillette innovated to the point where the cartridge holding the blades flexed front and back (or up and down). That was pretty handy for getting around the jawbone, but there was still room to improve. That's where the advancement of the FlexBall Technology comes into play, because it allows the cartridge to pivot side to side and up and down, which means the blades are able to meet the curves of your face much better.
Since the cartridge is flexible (i.e. it can move in multiple directions), you'll find that you can take longer strokes with it. There's less of a need to pull it off your face and change directions since the blades make better contact with your face more often. The head is made to pivot to catch those problem areas like around the Adam's apple, which isn't something that's offered out there on the market. The other option is to take those short strokes in each direction with a less flexible razor.
Keep in mind that the change is in the handle itself and not the cartridges, which means you can still use the classic Fusion cartridges with the new handle. It comes in two versions — manual and power.

From 1st July 2007, all retailers of electrical goods must comply with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) legislation.
This is a scheme to prevent all such waste being disposed of in general landfill sites and to promote recycling of components and materials. The legislation aims to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic equipment on the environment by creating products with recycling in mind and encouraging reuse, recycling, and recovery of WEEE.
How do I know what product is "WEEE"? The definition of a WEEE product is one whose primary function is dependent on electrical currents to carry out the main function, e.g. a toaster. However, some product, such as a child's soft toy with an electric circuit, is not classed as WEEE as its primary function is a toy. For further details on product definitions, please click here.

So, can an Imirie shim or similar item be placed on the brood boxes with honey supers over it, or does this create too large of a space between top brood box and honey super?
If this is OK would the bees use the shim notch entrance for their "honey" loads?
TWB,Not sure why you'd want to place an Imirie shim there; you'd be better served to place a slatted rack there (added space, probable function as a non-harmful queen excluder, etc) and use a top entrance.
I was looking for that Honey Run inner cover mentioned in this thread. Is that the same as the "all season inner cover" that they sell?all season inner cover Anyone else have experience with these?

UTEP Suffers First Loss Of Season, 102-77, To Georgia Tech
Dec. 20, 2013
Like UTEP Women's Basketball On Facebook
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico –The UTEP women's basketball team put up a good fight but Atlantic Coast Conference power Georgia Tech had simply too much firepower, as the Miners sustained their first loss of the year, 102-77, inside Guillermo Angulo Coliseum at the Puerto Rico Classic Friday.
Jenzel Nash (18 points), Kayla Thornton (15 points) and Cameasha Turner (career-high tying 14 points) keyed the attack for the Miners (9-1), who scored the second-most points against the Jackets (8-2) on the year. Only perennial power and then #4 Tennessee (87 points on Nov. 17) has put up more points vs. Tech in 2013.
Problems arose, though, in trying to slow down the Jackets' one-two punch of Kaela Davis (26 points) and Tyaunna Marshall (23 points).
Davis, the number one high school recruit in the country from a year ago and the daughter of former UTEP men's basketball star Antonio Davis, tallied 17 points in the first half while Marshall netted 16. That effort helped Tech stake a 54-38 advantage at the break.
UTEP regrouped and played even (33-33) with Tech over the first 16 minutes of the second stanza. The Jackets closed the contest out on a 15-6 push, though, to account for the 25-point margin.
Points in the paint (59-28), points off turnover (25-8) and rebounding (52-42) all favored Georgia Tech, with its athleticism and size giving the Orange and Blue fits.
The Miners did well to get to the free-throw line (21-of-31) while also connecting on 44.4 percent (8-of-18) from three-point range but a rare turnover-heavy game (20 giveaways) afforded Tech's high-octane offense more opportunities than needed. Another factor was the Jackets crashing the offensive glass, with 23 of their 52 boards coming at that end.
The Miners enjoyed advantages in points from the bench (33-27) and fast-break points (12-7). Anete Kirsteine (eight points) and Irene Gari (seven points) contributed to the attack, but it proved to be a moot point with the way Tech was operating on offense.
The Jackets connected on 48.1 percent (39-of-81) of their shots while becoming the first Miner opponent since 2003 and just the third overall during the Keitha Adams era to top 100 points.
There was a frenetic pace to the game early, with Davis scoring the first five points. The Miners struck back and were down just by seven (29-22) with 9:47 to play in the period. Tech went on a 10-1 run, though, in a span of only 2:19, and UTEP could never recover.
The advantage grew to 23 (52-29, 2:18) late in the half but the Miners scored nine of the final 11 points down the stretch to whittle it back down to 16 heading into the locker room.
UTEP and Tech traded baskets over the majority of the second half, but the Orange and Blue couldn't trim the deficit to fewer than 15 before the late run.
The Miners will wrap up the Puerto Rico classic against Belmont at 12:30 p.m. MST Saturday. Belmont fell to Western Kentucky, 66-46, in its first game of the event.

New Court Date for Crump, Adams
A court document on file in federal court indicates that a judge has set another new trial date for the two Toccoa men charged in an alleged plot to attack the U.S. government.
The document, filed on July 15, states that Samuel J. Crump and Ray H. Adams, both of Toccoa, are now set to go to trial on September 23 in U.S. District Court in Gainesville before Judge Richard W. Story.
The two were scheduled to go on trial earlier this month but it was continued for a second time. It was originally set for trial in February before a first continuance.
Adams and Crump are charged with conspiring to possess and produce the biological toxin ricin and attempted production of ricin.
They were arrested back in November 2011 along with two other men, Dan Roberts of Toccoa and Frederick Thomas of Cleveland.
According to federal authorities, the four men were charged with being part of a fringe militia group that was planning attacks against citizens and the government.
In April 2012, Roberts and Thomas each pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to obtain an unregistered explosive device and silencer.
They were each sentenced to five years in federal prison back in August 2012.
FBI agents were in Stephens County earlier this month, reportedly conducting a search warrant at Adams' home.

A SCHOOL has commemorated the centenary of the First World War by re-enacting the famous Christmas Day truce football match of 1914.
Pupils at Argoed High School in Mynydd Isa decided to stage the Remembrance Match in honour of the soldiers who gave their lives in the conflict as they continue to raise funds for various services charities.
Complete with a handlebar-moustached referee, they took to the school playing fields to represent Germany and the Allied Forces – and the whole school turned out to cheer them on following a minute's silence to remember the fallen.
Pupils played the parts of soldiers who took part in the famous match, when gunfire temporarily stopped and fighters ventured out of the Trenches and played a friendly against their enemies on no man's land.
The event was part of the school's marking of the 100 year anniversary of the break out of the Great War.
Argoed High assistant headteacher Alan Coppack, who played the part of the referee, complete with baggy shorts, blazer and hip flask, said: "You have to do something as a school to commemorate the centenary of the First World War.
"Pupils have done a good bit of work on the topic in lessons and in school assemblies.
"We've got two GCSE history classes and they decided to come together to re-enact the Christmas football match.
"But the whole school is taking part in events to mark the centenary."
The match was arranged by pupils who have become 'history leaders' at Argoed, taking history into the community and promoting learning about the past.
The event included the national anthems complete with live commentary.
Before the kick off, the history leaders took time out to explain their decision to stage the game.
Thomas Hayes, 15, said: "It's important to commemorate the First World War and we thought this was something everyone would enjoy."
Jack Davies, also 15, added: "The soldiers emerged from the Trenches during the first Christmas of the war.
"There was an unofficial ceasefire and we wanted an activity to commemorate that."
History teachers Leon Southgate and Sarah Salisbury confirmed the school has so far raised more than £1,000 this year through a series of activities for the Royal British Legion and an appeal by veterans' charity Combat Stress.
Pupils have also helped count up more than £10,000 from poppy donation boxes for the area's Poppy Appeal.
They were raising money at the football match through the sale of refreshments, many of them made by the pupils."

Please apologize if my question might be stupid, but what reason could there be not to process the first XInclude on the server, but to process the second on the server? I think it's very confusing if Cocoon would be using another namespace for XInclude than the one defined by w3. If you want your example work as you describe it, then I think you can still do it the other way around, which means the initial XML would be as follows: <blah> <bi:include xmlns:bi="http://www.apache.org/cocoon/browserinclude" href="blah.xml"/> <xi:include xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="blah.xml"/> </blah> then you send this XML through the XIncludeProcessorTransformer of Cocoon and receive something like <blah> <bi:include xmlns:bi="http://www.apache.org/cocoon/browserinclude" href="blah.xml"/> <blah> blabla </blah> </blah> then you send this XML through some XSLT (Transformer) which is replacing the bi:include by the xi:include <blah> <xi:include xmlns:bi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="blah.xml"/> <blah> blabla </blah> </blah> and then you send (serialize) it to the client. Or did I misunderstand your example? > > So, IMO, the best long term solution would be: > > 1) deprecate both XIncludeTransformer and CIncludeTransformer > 2) change CIncludeTransformer to IncludeTransformer > 3) make IncludeTransformer work just on a cocoon-specific namespace > > what do you think? If you don't want to decide what namespaces, elementnames, attributenames you want to choose for the future, IMO it makes sense to make the IncludeTransformer configurable with the regard to the "names", such that it can process all types of "includes" as for instance <xsl:include, <xi:include, xlink:href, etc. One Cocoon specific remark: I really learned to appreciate the "cocoon:" protocol supported by the current XIncludeTransformer. But it is a little bit "dangerous", because nobody else is supporting this protocol yet. In case you want to replace Cocoon by something else ;-) you will run into troubles because it won't work anymore. Therefore IMO it makes a lot of sense to use another namespace if you use the "cocoon:" protocol together with XInclude. But concerning the code base I think it makes a lot of sense to merge the code of the exsting ones. I am currently refactoring my own XIncludeProcessor, and as soon as it is more "cocoonish" I will post it as a patch as Ivelin was suggesting it. Maybe it helps someone.

Médias / Actualités Produits et SAV / Atlas Copco ES Millennium allows for 24/24h service and energy savings
Atlas Copco ES Millennium allows for 24/24h service and energy savings
Antwerp, Belgium and Stockholm, Sweden – 02 May 2002 -- With the new ES Millennium, Atlas Copco Compressor Technique introduces a total, but flexible solution for managing multiple compressor installations. Through a novel 24h service concept, intelligent machine control and extensive remote monitoring, Atlas Copco can take on full responsibility of the entire compressor room. At the same time, significant energy savings are obtained by optimally controlling the individual compressors.
To many industrial facilities, quality compressed air is a vital resource, but managing a compressor room is considered to be a non-core activity. To meet with this trend, Atlas Copco can now offer a highly automated 24 hour monitoring service, combined with a strict service level agreement. Because each individual compressor's operational data can be sent via the Internet to a secured central warehouse, Atlas Copco specialists can analyse those data, pro-actively plan for maintenance, avoid damage or production loss before it happens, suggest improvements to the overall compressor setup and propose energy optimisations.
The ES Millennium family
A key component in the new service approach is the ES Millennium central controller and monitoring system. Depending on the options, this system will optimally control all compressors in the compressor room and offer remote monitoring via the LAN (Local Area Network), via the Internet, or both.
The ES Millennium series is built around proven microprocessor technology and a flat TFT touch screen, without any moving parts, for extreme reliability. The system is highly modular and field upgradeable. A wide variety of communication options range from simple RS-232C and current loop interfaces to Modbus, Profibus or internet connections.
Smart control reduces the cost of air
The control software behind ES Millennium is extremely sophisticated. The built-in algorithms continuously compute real-time data and combine those with customer preferences, machine parameters and compressor room specifics. A scoring system, based on artificial intelligence techniques, allows every compressor room to be highly optimised, whatever the configuration.
Because the ES Millennium maintains the optimal mix of compressors, based on the measured air delivery, the required pressure band is a fraction of a non-regulated system. Since each bar in reduction saves 7% in energy consumption and lowers the average leak losses in an air system by 13%, the energy savings are significant.
In addition, the ES Millennium will ensure the exact pressure without under- or overshoots, allowing for much tighter limits and more energy savings. It will select the most suitable compressor combination at all times and guarantee that each compressor operates in its optimal working zone.
Additional information on these and other products of the Atlas Copco Group can be found on the website: www.atlascopco.com.
Atlas Copco is an international industrial Group with its head office in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2001, the Group had revenues of SEK 51 billion (EUR 5.4 billion), with 98% of revenues outside Sweden, and close to 26,000 employees. The Group produces and markets compressed air equipment and generators, construction and mining equipment, electric and pneumatic tools, and assembly systems and offers related service and equipment rental. The Atlas Copco Group includes famous brands such as Atlas Copco, RSC, Milwaukee Electric Tool, Chicago Pneumatic, and AEG Power Tools.

You readers probably know I don't think very highly of the youth pastors I had while growing up.
To be fair, it's not necessarily their fault. Youth ministry wasn't their specialty. They went to school to learn to shepherd adults, not kids; they didn't know squat about child psychology, or any psychology; and the church didn't give them the freedom to really lead us properly. Plus, at that time in my life, I was an awful kid. Still, knowing what I know now, I can look back and conclude that yeah, they really didn't know what they were doing.
So I wrote a poem about it. Like to hear it? Here goes.
I was all of eleven when Father sat down
And directed me right to his side,
And the gloom in his eyes had awakened my fear
That I'd sinned—he was after my hide.
"No it's not that," he said, "but whatever that was—
Well, we'll talk about that once again.
No, it's something more difficult I must discuss
Since you're now at an age over ten.
"In this next year, you'll go into (gasp) junior high
And the misery found in those grades.
And you'll look to the church for what comfort you can…
But you'll only find sports and charades."
"I don't follow," I said. "Well you see," said my dad,
"In the sixth grade you're known as a Youth.
Not a boy, so no Sunday School class anymore.
Therefore now I must tell you the truth.
"Son, a Youth is distracted by things of this world:
What is 'cool,' what is stylish, or 'it.'
If the church can't keep up, we may lose you for good.
So we altered our standards a bit.
"First, we parents abandoned our leadership roles
Because kids don't respect us as 'cool.'
And since that is their standard for leadership, we
Have adopted this 'cool' as our rule.
"But we found that they just won't accept us as cool.
This is odd, and we can't figure why.
We said all the same slang and we wear the same clothes!
Yet the Youth think it's odd, or a lie.
"So our church sought a person authentically cool—
One the Youth would accept and obey—
Thus we hired a Youth Leader to do the job
And instruct them to go the right way.
"First, he tries to determine what's 'cool' with the kids.
Then he tailors himself to their fad.
In this way, he'll distract them back into the church!
—But my son, his theology's bad.
"See, to find us a leader the Youth will accept,
Our church hired a leader so young
That he's barely emerged from his own Youth himself.
So he's lacking in wisdom, and dumb.
"His poor brain was quick-crammed with theology from
All those schools he's so fresh from. And so
He's been shown each historical route Christians take,
But he hasn't a clue where to go.
"In this state, he is hardly a leader of men.
(He's half heretic, to tell the truth.)
We can't trust him to deal with maturity well.
So… we put him in charge of the Youth.
"Now my son, I've discipled you. You know your stuff.
So I must warn you way in advance
Of the sort of Youth Leader we've hired to lead.
He's a risk, but we're taking a chance.
"See, the first guy we hired was a bit of a nut.
He drove out thirty kids with his ways!
He told them, 'If you're halfhearted, you'll go to hell!'
Half the Youth group was gone in ten days.
"Then the next one we hired: He'd take in any freak—
Even kids who came in from the slums!
He was hired to babysit our kids, not them!
Now he's gone, serving meals to those bums.
"The Youth Leader last year was a heck of a guy.
His defect was that he was too wise.
He got picked as lead pastor in some other church.
We can't hold on to quality guys.
"Now the current Youth Leader is not like the rest.
Sure, his reasoning isn't quite sound,
But the elders got sick of debating the rest,
And this guy… they can push him around.
"So at times he might tell you you're going to hell,
Or he'll threaten you till you obey.
He might frappé the culture with things of the Lord.
So watch out for some things that he'll say.
"When you have any questions, please go to your mom
Or to me; we will both help you out.
Yeah, you won't find us 'cool' enough. We understand.
'Cause it's why our church hired that lout."
"I don't get it," I told Dad. "Have you put my Youth
In the hands of a heretic, Dad?
If he's kind of a fool, as I think you've described,
The results can be nothing but bad!"
"It was not my idea," said Father to me.
"But I think we can yet see God's plan.
Every Youth must determine for her or himself—
In the most honest way that they can—
"Whether they'll be a Christian, or they'll turn away.
And the thing which provokes them the best
Is the garbage the Youth Leader feeds them each week.
It's the ultimate form of a test.
"He will frustrate them, force them to really seek God,
And maturity will have been won!
—Or they'll chuck the whole system as stupid and weird,
And we'll have one less hypocrite, son."
So I went through the Youth program in my teen years,
And the Youth leaders came, and went on,
And the things which some taught would send them to the stake
If they'd taught them in 1301.
In the end, it turned out like my dad has foreseen:
Many Youths turned away from the flock.
But a few realized God was here nonetheless,
And that Jesus was always our rock.
But what always nags at me is one little thing:
Is this really the best Youth can get?
Are Youth destined to follow each flake, loon, or nut
When adults can't be led by them yet?
There has got to be better than this for our Youth.
For our Youth, after all, are the church.
It's not will be, but are. This the adults ignore,
And abandon the Youth in the lurch.
Now, to all the exceptions: God bless you. You're great.
And to all the good leaders: Fight on!
And to everyone else: Please consider this fact.
Why are so many former Youth gone?
