A guide to carbon
Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause brain damage. It deprives the brain and all cells in the
body of oxygen. It also has more complex and toxic effects. All of which can traumatize and damage cells, affecting
their [ongoing] ability to function properly.
People respond differently to the same level of carbon monoxide exposure. Because of this, [ongoing] after
effects of carbon monoxide poisoning can range from nothing to severe in people with the same level of
Carbon monoxide poisoning is dangerous because it
deprives all cells in the brain of oxygen and poisons them. It has the ability to damage and affect virtually any
aspect of brain functioning.
The brain is an astonishingly complex mix of cells, blood vessels, neurochemistry, neural networks,
electromagnetic signals, and more. It is soft and has the consistency of pudding or tofu.
The brain is extremely delicate and can be damaged and affected much more easily than most people realize. It
does not take much to cause damage that leads to all kinds of subtle (and not-so- subtle) physical, mental, emotional and behavioral, and
social problems.
The health and functioning of a persons brain shapes their life - all day long, every day of their entire
A persons external world is reflection of their internal world, that is, their brain and its ability to function
in a healthy way. The way a persons external world is organized and functions is a reflection of the way their
brain is organized and functions.
When a brain is damaged, even subtlety, "the wiring" in the affected areas of the brain can change. When the wiring changes,
thoughts, behavior, emotions, moods, responses, personality, coordination and a lot more can change - sometimes
subtlety, sometimes significantly.
"Changes to the wiring" caused by carbon monoxide poisoning can alter the way the brain is organized and
functions, making it more disorganized and more chaotic in its ability to function properly.
Even with mild brain damage it is common for [varying degrees of] disorganization and chaos to begin to surface
in a survivors life. This can be a reflection of brain disorganization caused by carbon monoxide injury, however minor the trauma may
A survivors life may seem to start falling apart without the survivor, their family, or their health care
provider making the connection back to carbon monoxide poisoning as the turning point in their life.
While a survivor may think they are fine, their brain may well have been damaged. People with mild brain damage
are usually not aware that they are living with a brain injury and that it is affecting them.
People with not-so-mild brain damage are usually aware that they are living with a brain injury
and that it is affecting them however, they may not be aware of the true extent.
Ironically, the absolute worst time to be learning about the effects of a brain injury is when a person has one
yet that is the very time survivors are required to learn about it. Their carbon monoxide
recovery depends on it.

The Echostar HDT-610R has been unveiled. It doesn't have a catchy name, but it does have a catchy tagline. It claims to the slimmest digital TV recorder in the world.
Just 14mm thick, the Echostar HDT-610R is only about as chunky as a tablet or smartphone, letting it piggy-back on top of other components in a TV stand or rack. It's a powerful device, though. It packs a 500GB hard drive to store recordings from its dual Freeview HD tuners. That's enough room for 300 hours of SD programmes, or 125 in HD.
It also offers some connected features, with BBC iPlayer and Box Office 365 built-in. You'll need to connect the Echostar HDT-610R to your router with a cable though, because there's no Wi-Fi here. The software packs an 8-day EPG, and Echostar promises new features in upcoming software updates. Fingers crossed that'll include Netflix and LoveFilm streaming.
From the site it looks a bit like a laptop that's had its lid ripped off...
Hardly surprising given its dimensions, the Echostar HDT-610R boots out old connections like SCART, packing an HDMI port to connect to a TV, as well as an optical audio out should you want to connect directly to an amplifier. Two USB 2.0 sockets are on its back, presumably used to update its software - we're checking whether you can play media or archive recordings at the moment.
The Echostar HDT-610R will be available to pre-order from tomorrow, May 4, price to be confirmed.

Mathematica uses the assumption that the data is a sample (size is small),
hence it gives the sample variance, not population variance.
The formula in this case changes. You need to divide by (n-1) not (n) where
n is the sample size.
In[5]:= r = {1., 2., 3.};
Out[6]= 1.
In[13]:= m = Mean[r];
n = Length[r];
Sum[(r[[i]] - m)^2, {i, 1, n}]/(n - 1)
Out[15]= 1.

Del Rey's designers are trying something new… (About time.) I like it! Get the full impact under the cut.
Whoah, crazy. Personally, I really liked the old art, w/ the reflection in the visor and everything. But this is certainly attention-grabbing.
Hmm… the old version certainly looked a lot like the TCW novelization cover. Given that they're both by KT, do you think they worried about confusion? But the O66 cover was a heck of a lot better than the TCW cover, so… I dunno.

I like this so much more than the previous cover art.
This actually looks like someone thought about the layout and the design of the cover instead of coming up with some art and slapping the SW logo at the top, the name of the book below that and the authors info at the bottom.
Plus, this seems to borrow some of the conceptual ideas from the vintage eastern european propaganda posters. I'm digging on this, hard. Kandosii.
Agreed, Paula.

A visitor wanted to know how to save attachments and then open them without opening Windows Explorer to find the attachment. This VBA code is based on the code sample at our Outlook-Tips site: Save and Delete Attachments. We removed the lines that delete the attachment from the message and added the file path to the message body, using the file path to open the message using Window's ShellExecute command.
The macro at Save Attachments to the hard drive is the original macro this code was built from. It saves attachments on the selected messages but does not open them.
Save and Open Attachments VBA Sample
To use this code sample, open the VBA editor by pressing Alt+F11 keys. Paste the code into the ThisOutlookSession module. If it does not exist, create the directory path on your hard drive then update the code with the path.
Select one or more attachments and run the macro.
For more information, see How to use VBA Editor
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias _
"ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Public Sub SaveandOpenAttachments()
Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
Dim objMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Dim objSelection As Outlook.Selection
Dim i As Long
Dim lngCount As Long
Dim strFile As String
Dim strFolderpath As String
Dim strExePath As String
' Get the path to your My Documents folder
strFolderpath = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SpecialFolders(16)
On Error Resume Next
Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objSelection = objOL.ActiveExplorer.Selection
' Set the Attachment folder. (Folder must exist.)
strFolderpath = strFolderpath & "\OLAttachments\"
For Each objMsg In objSelection
Set objAttachments = objMsg.Attachments
lngCount = objAttachments.Count
If lngCount > 0 Then
For i = lngCount To 1 Step -1
strFile = objAttachments.Item(i).FileName
strFile = strFolderpath & strFile
objAttachments.Item(i).SaveAsFile strFile
'use ShellExecute to open the file
'this may not work with zip extension if you use Compressed folders
ShellExecute 0, "open", strFile, vbNullString, vbNullString, 0
End If
Set objAttachments = Nothing
Set objMsg = Nothing
Set objSelection = Nothing
Set objOL = Nothing
End Sub
Use with 64-bit Outlook
To use this with 64-bit Outlook, replace the Declare line with this:
Private Declare PtrSafe Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias _
"ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Open hidden attachments on Outlook.com items
To use this to open hidden attachments on Outlook.com items, change the objMsg line to this:
Dim objMsg as Object
Use the Temp folder instead of My Documents, delete
strFolderpath = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SpecialFolders(16)
and replace
strFolderpath = strFolderpath & "\OLAttachments\" with this:
strFolderpath = VBA.Environ$("Tmp") & "\"
More Information
To save and open specific attachment types (for example, only open doc and xls files) as the messages arrive, see Attachment: Print received attachments immediately. Change "print" to "open" in the ShellExecute line of that code:
ShellExecute 0, "print", sFile, vbNullString, vbNullString, 0
ShellExecute 0, "open", sFile, vbNullString, vbNullString, 0

Deputies search river for missing Catawba County man
CATAWBA COUNTY, N.C. - Deputies with the Catawba County Sheriff's Office used a kayak and canoe to search for a 70-year-old man missing for a week. Deputies searched a two-mile stretch of Catawba River for six hours Thursday.
Ken Mohler went missing last Thursday from his job at Gregory Wood Products. Investigators suspected foul play when they found his truck at the business and his cellphone and keys covered by dirt.
Deputies said they won't stop searching until they get answers. They want to rule out the town of Newton as a possible location someone could have taken the 70-year-old because it's so close to Gregory Wood Products.
"We're not going to give up," said Sgt. David Eckard with Catawba County Sheriff's Office. "We're not going to stop. We are doing this for the family. It is important for them. It is important for us."
Several family members of Mohler came from Pennsylvania to help with the search.

Effective Jan. 1, the city's weekly trash collection service changed and the sole carrier became Republic Waste Service. Distribution to residents of a 96-gallon cart for trash and a 65-gallon cart for recycling has begun. Many residents have already received their first quarterly billing for $41.70 ($13.90 per month) for the category "unlimited service," which resulted in a reduction of $6.42 to last year's quarterly rate (or $25.68 annually).
Unlimited service entitles residents to unlimited weekly household trash and recyclables. Residents may place additional bags of trash or recyclables at the curb as well as those occasional bulk items without any extra charge.
In addition to this service, the city administration has asked that a "low volume" service also be provided to residents. As a result, Republic has added this service effective Feb. 1 and the cost will be $31.85 ($9.92 per month). Residents choosing this "limited" service will be allowed to put one 30-gallon can or bag of trash at the curb each week. On occasion, if residents place more than one bag or can of trash at the curb, the driver will make note of it and a $2.25 per bag charge will be added to the next bill.
Also, should residents have large bulk items (sofa, chair, table, mattress, etc.) they will be charged $5 to $15 per item. Residents must provide their own bags or cans. Included in the low-volume service is a 65-gallon recycling cart that will be collected at the curb every week. Residents who presently have a Republic Services 96-gallon trash cart may switch it for the smaller container if they choose to switch to the low-volume service.
Those who would like to make changes to their present service are asked to call Republic at 800-247-3644.
An additional note: the carts are the property of Republic Services. Should they become damaged, residents are asked to contact the customer service department at 800-247-3644 and a supervisor will repair or replace the cart at no charge to the homeowner. If a resident moves from the city, they are instructed to leave their cart at the side of the house in view from the road and it will be removed by Republic. If carts are missing, a $75 charge will be added to the resident's final invoice.

Curious George at the Aquarium (edition 2007)
by Margaret Rey, H. A. Rey, R. P. Anderson, Anna Grossnickle Hines (Illustrator)
Work details
Curious George at the Aquarium by Margret Rey
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book is about George the monkey and how he went to an aquarium to look at different types of sea animals such as sharp toothed piranhas, seahorses, red octopi, starfish, and an urchin. George was also very curious so at one point in the story he place in hand in one of the tanks and a crap came up and bit his finger. From that point on George did not like being at the exhibit. He still was curious so he ended up in the penguin living area where he accidentally let all the penguin escape. In all the commotion George saved one of the baby penguins from drowning and became a new hero at the aquarium. This was a very cute story and is a great book for teaching students different animals and even personification as well as fantasy verse realism.
George and The Man with the Yellow Hat visit an aquarium, where George has lots of opportunities to be curious. While the man is buying tickets, George hears enticing noises and can't restrain himself; he jumps over the wall and starts exploring. He sees whales, piranha, a cranky crab, and eventually scrambles into a penguin enclosure. The workers aren't happy about his being there, but when George opens the door to leave, all the penguins escape instead. Everyone is so busy catching them that they don't notice the baby penguin fall in the water. Good thing George is there! He jumps in and saves the chick that can't yet swim. George is a hero again.
The story follows typical Curious George formula: he follows his curiosity, falls into trouble, and performs some good act that makes everyone forget his mistake. This story, though, was wordier than the book about taking a train. The action took too much time to develop. Nonetheless, I do love aquariums, so I appreciated George's desire to wander through all the wonders. Also, my daughter's attention never wavered, and she is a picky critic. Clearly, the story isn't boring, even if it could be more concise. A typical book of the series. If your child likes Curious George, this is an easy choice.
This book would be good for teaching ELLs because it offers text in both English and Spanish. They could work on their comprehension by having both their first language to refer to when they do not understand.

This advice applies to England. Change country
Changing your name
There's no legal way to change your name - you simply start using a new name.
However, if you want to use your new name on documents like passports and driving licences, you'll need to get evidence of your new name.
The best way to do this is by making a deed poll.
You won't need a deed poll to change your surname after marriage or a civil partnership - you'll just need a marriage or civil partnership certificate to apply for documents in your new name.
Changing a child's name
There's no legal way to change a child's name - the parent simply starts using the new name.
You can get evidence that a child's name has been changed by making a deed poll.
To change a child's name, everyone with parental responsibility must agree to the change.
If you object to a child's name being changed but don't have parental responsibility, you'll need to acquire parental responsibility through a court order to prevent the name change.
If there's a child arrangements order in place, the name can't be changed without the written agreement of anyone who has parental responsibility, or the permission of the court.
If you're under 16, your consent isn't needed for your name to be changed.
If you don't want your name changed you can apply for a court order to prevent it.
You can't change your surname without your parent's consent.

Popular New Year's Resolution — Divorce
Most people's New Year's resolution is to lose weight or work harder. One year, mine was to have more fun. People are predicting the big one this year will be the big D.
You don't think of divorce as a happy New Year's resolution, but apparently it's on a lot of people's minds. The beginning of the year has been known to have the most divorce filings after couples trying to stick it out for their families through the holidays. The New Year is a time that they feel that they could start fresh! I'm not trying to put ideas in anyone's heads in any way, I just thought this was interesting.

Recovery plays offer the tantalising prospect of making substantial returns over short periods. Buying shares in a company that is priced for failure but actually primed for revival can result in the double whammy of substantial earnings growth and a whacking re-rating as the recovery story takes hold. But investors attempting to buy nascent recovery stories before the rest of the market has cottoned on are playing with fire. The market is only likely to price a stock for failure when failure is a real possibility.

Tony & Joe's Celebrates 25 Years
Tony Cibel knows how to throw a party, inviting old friends and some new ones, offering all kinds of seafood, of course: oysters, clams, lobster tails, soft-shell crabs, and letting the drinks flow. It's great to have local politicians stop by and give congratulations and even cooler to have a former Mayor of Washington, D.C., sing for you at the end of the evening. Yes, Marion Barry can headline a band, too.
Tony's admirers were at Tony & Joe's restaurant at Washington Harbour, next to the Potomac, on Sept. 13 to celebrate 25 years of the popular eatery as well as to see the renovations that had to be done after the April 2011 flood. The restaurant has set the culinary bar higher with its new executive chef David Stein, just as the waterfront complex itself is revamping and turning up the place-to-be notch with a lighted, water-spouting fountain that will convert into an ice-skating rink in the winter.
"The post-flood redesign truly puts the word 'tony' in our name," Tony & Joe's says. "The sleek and airy remodeled dining room has been configured to offer vast event options. Sweeping floor to ceiling windows allow diners to enjoy panoramic views from every seat in the house. To one side, take in the Potomac River and Kennedy Center. To the other, enjoy the Washington Harbor's new Las Vegas-style fountain. The overall effect is spectacular"
Native Washingtonian Cibel has been a player on the restaurant scene with his other places, such as the Dancing Crab, Nick's Riverside Grille, Kaufmanns Tavern, Cabanas and the Rockfish. The patriarch of the Oceanside Management Family of restaurants has two sons and two nephews involved in his business operations, "making sure that a family member pays attention to the numberous details so necessary to operating restaurants," he says.
Councilman Jack Evans got caught up in the evening's excitement as he welcomed Councilman and former Mayor Marion Barry and said, "He'll always be mayor." Tony Cibel added to the quips, saying that Washington Harbour should have a casino instead of National Harbor. Everybody else was just happy to be there to take it all in.

The co-founders of digital and social-media agency Outside Line cashed in today by selling to advertising giant Saatchi & Saatchi for an estimated £8 million.
Ant Cauchi and Lloyd Salmons own a majority of Outside Line, which was founded in 2000 and had revenues of £3.7 million last year. Clients include British Gas, Lurpak and Virgin Galactic.
Saatchi & Saatchi is buying the Farringdon creative agency as part of a wider shake-up, as it looks to increase its digital presence and prepares to quit its Charlotte Street base in Fitzrovia.
Outside Line's 68-strong team will move in with Saatchi & Saatchi's staff of around 280 in a new, as yet-unidentified, office.
This is the latest acquisition by Saatchi & Saatchi's parent company, France's Publicis Groupe, which bought Soho agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty in July.
Ingenious Media Active Capital used to own Outside Line but sold to management last year.

Mortar Color
About a week ago, I repaired a mortar joint between two bricks that had deteriorated. I spent several weeks trying to match the color by creating samples of mortar by mixing a mortar pre-mix with charcoal concrete coloring to get a specific shade of grey. Once I was happy with the color match, I went ahead and mixed up a small batch, but instead of using water, I used an acrylic admixture in place of water to be sure the new mortar bonds well. Well, it's been a week now, and the mortar has yet to lighten up from what currently looks nearly the same color as the wet mix! The mortar is dry and hard to the touch but looks to be nearly the same color as the wet mixture! I've never had this issue before. It is winter time, but it hasn't been freezing down here in the south. The temperature hasn't really gotten over 50 farenheit though so could that be the reason the color is still dark???? Any thoughts are appreciated!
segal -
You did not use the same materials in the final batch as in your test samples - You used a chemical dispersion (acrylic) instead of water that can have a different effect on the pigment (or dye if you are cheap). Dealing with grays, there are several materials to use - carbon black (soot) that is mechanically locked into the cement matrix, but can wear off in time with weathering or black iron oxide, which is a pigment and is much stronger (tinting strength) and more permanent. Black iron oxide is not usually readily available in small quantities.
If you find a color you are happy with, use the same materials in the real batch.
You did use a good pigment - synthetic metallic oxide. Synthetic oxides are very good as opposed to natural oxides because the impurities and salts have been removed from oxides by the high temperatures that are used to get get different colors.
Apparently, the acrylic does something different than water regarding the curing. Pigmented concrete lightens (even with synthetic oxides) because the curing process of the cement always leaves some free lime in the matrix that makes the appearance lighter. A little free lime is not bad since it becomes cementing material over time with moisture and carbon dioxide exposure.
Hopefully, the shorter life of the acrylics are just delaying the curing process.
When you make samples, use the same materials in the real job mix and hopefully the test samples are allowed to cure well to get their final color.
Well, I decided to grind out the repair because I didn't see an end in sight for the mortar color lightening up. I don't think I'll be using the acrylic latex admixture when I perform this repair again. I prepared a new sample with the admixture and another with just water, and in just one night, the mortar with 100% water went 4 shades lighter while the one with 100% admixture didn't even change from the original wet mortar color. Both mortars were hard to the touch, so it didn't seem like a drying time issue. Both were sitting on cardboard, which does seem to accelerate the normal drying time. Very strange IMO.
Why would you think it strange?
Why does it lighten up? The answer is because it loses moisture. Acrylic and latex additives work as an integral sealer to reduce moisture loss, so the mortar retains both color and moisture.
Just as an FYI for those who may read later, the easy way to match mortar is to use a piece of plywood and make thin smears. The plywood sucks the moisture out rapidly, "drying" (though not curing) the mortar.
Do not make samples with small amounts use full batch mixes. See next point.
Start with minimal color and work up to the degree of color depth required. Use an accurate scale, not volumetric measures for the pigments.
As a starting point, wet mortar will be about twice as dark as dry mortar.
Most importantly, new mortar colored to match old mortar will not match it down the road, so make it a shade darker than matching.
When you are finished patching and the mortar has set, get a handful of dirt and rub it into the patch then wash it off and it will match.

I am 22 years old. 2 years ago, I took the depo birth control shot which caused me to gain 20 lbs and look very puffy and bloated, espcially in my face. Since stopping the depo, I managed to lose most of the weight but I have had minimal loss on the puffiness in my face.
My cheeks and chin are disproportionate to the rest of my body. If one were to only see my face in a picture, one would think I'm overweight, but I'm not. I was considering Lipodissolve but I am worried about the depressions, lumps and other possible side effects appearing somewhere as visible as the face.
Exercise and diet is only helping my body. What would be the best option for someone of my age to lose the fat in my face?

i see that you're in canada. in the states that's a fair deal, in canada i would guees that it's a great deal, that's my take on it
Hi folks;
Would anyone know what this little revolver is worth. It's in excellent condition and the owner want $450.00 for it. What do you think guys? Good deal, fair, or too much money?
Comes with the original box and the paperwork.
Many thanks for your help.
i see that you're in canada. in the states that's a fair deal, in canada i would guees that it's a great deal, that's my take on it
That is less than current auctions for lesser revolvers without a box and goodies,it is a good deal on a very good revolver.
Well guys, I knew you'd all give me the right advice so I bought it just now. It does indeed have the original box and all the original paperwork
that came with it so I guess I just bought this little Colt for about $300. if you take the value of the box and paperwork. Although the box is in pretty sad shape, it's better than no box I think.
Many thanks to all of you that replied and to those who were thinking about it. My God, another gun I have to go out and shoot. Where will I find the time?
Great deal on a great revolver. Congratulations
Detectives, and Cobras, and Agents
Oh My!
Great deal. eh. Enjoy. If you don't like it , I will buy it for the same price. Look at it this way. If that gun were made today, it would retail for around $800 or so. They last forever and beyond. Add a set of Wolff springs. It will lighten the double action to the same or better than a Mark V.

Sunday, Aug. 21st
America's cult culinary event, Heritage Fire by Cochon555, returns to Charles Krug Winery in St. Helena on August 21st, 2016. Entering its eighth year of existence, Cochon555 events continue to attract sold-out crowds, most recently at Heritage Fire Snowmass during the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen. The greater goal of the Cochon555 family is to promote honest food prepared by singular artisans; to celebrate family farming; and to shine the gastronomic spotlight on the hard working people who are responsibly (though often silently) raising heritage breed animals.
The Heritage Fire event promotes the relationship between local farming and emerging chef and restaurant communities, which grapple with having to pay premium prices in order to serve their guests safer, more responsibly raised, and flavorful food that is also raised locally. Heritage Fire – a premiere, whole animal, live-fire, and outdoor food-and-wine event – features whole animals roasted over open fires and prepared by top area and national chefs paired with premium wines, beers and ciders. The event also benefits Piggy Bank, a farm devoted to providing free heritage breed pigs to small farms in exchange for transparent business plans that are posted online. The all-inclusive ticket is now available for sale for $125 (includes beverage pairings, tax and gratuity). If you are not sure, watch the mouth-watering Heritage Fire trailer and video below.
Heritage Fire Napa Valley will showcase over 50 notable chefs and butchers, each grilling heritage breed animals en plein air amongst the area's impressionistic hills and vineyards. The event features responsibly raised food prepared with traditional outdoor cooking techniques, free-flow wines from more than 35 boutique producers, craft beers from Magnolia Brewing, and small-batch Common ciders. The list of heritage and heirloom foods includes dry-aged beef, whole pigs, lamb, goat, squab, rabbit, duck, fish, chicken, artisan cheeses, oysters, and heirloom vegetables.
In addition to the meat-laden feast, the event also offers The Pop-Up Butcher Shop featuring Rob Levitt of Butcher & Larder (CHI); Tracy Smaciarz of Heritage Meats (SEA); and David the Butcher of Marina Meats (SF) alongside Master of Cermonies Billy Harris (LA) leading the butcher demonstration in raising money for Piggy Bank. Guests can help raise $5,000 by bidding on including rare bottles of wine, monster steaks, etched cutting boards and custom knives from Town Culter. In addition this year, Wines of Germany presents the Wood-Fired Ramen Bar featuring a notable chef, a Tartar Bar from Creekstone Farms, Wood-Fired Artisan Cheese Bar with California Artisan Cheese Guild and Foie Gras from Hudson Valley amongst many other delights. This is the eigth year in a row Heritage Fire has made its way to California. It is the nation's only hyper-local, whole animal, live-fire outdoor culinary event cooking and serving 3,500+ pounds of heritage breed animals in celebration of agricultural and animal diversity.

Awww, take a look at the Oscar winners here in the press room. They're making their Oscars kiss, the way that my sisters and I used to do with our Barbies and Ken doll. That's right, we only had one boy doll and everyone had to share the lovin'–it was very "The Girls Next Door."
When they weren't playing orgy with their golden statuettes, the Oscar winners were dropping some pretty awesome sound bytes. Javier Bardem, best supporting actor winner said of his portrayal of a psychopathic killer, "Thank you to the COENS for being crazy enough to think that I could do that and put one of the most horrible haircuts in history over my head." Luckily, though, his hotness and good acting shone right through.
Speaking of hotness, congrats to Diablo Cody, who is giving her Oscar a big fat kiss. And a lap dance later.

Photography is fun. Interesting. Sometimes even rewarding. More and more people begin to realize that, and the opportunity's Internet offers to showcase their photo creations. And WordPress is an excellent platform to showcase photos – because of the flexibility and well documented stability, and the huge amount of specialized plugins and themes.
To set up a photo gallery on WordPress you could use some of those nice gallery plugins – or, by using a specialized gallery or photo blogging theme, sometimes simply referred to as Multi Media Themes. Whatever solution you prefer, you sure will have a huge and very exciting selection to choose from – it shouldn't be a problem to find a photoblog solution that suits you exactly as you wish.
Cashrevelations presents six WordPress photoblog solutions that are free and relatively easy to set up even if you know more about photo than WordPress or blogging.
3 WordPress Photo Plugins
Plugins is a good solution if you don't feel for changing the appearance of your WordPress blog. There is a lot to choose from, but we would like to mention these three. We could also have mention Cincopa For WordPress, an excellent media plugin – but there could be some fees involved. The Best WordPress Gallery Plugins is a nice post that offers you some reviews and guidance of a few more good WordPress photo gallery plugins.

We feature these three, because these three represent an adequate and good alternative and also because we think they are not so well known.

Columbia County Commission Chairman Ron Cross will seek a fourth term of office this November, he confirmed Monday.
Cross said his desire to stay on as chairman is linked to a number of "unfinished" projects he hopes to see through to completion.
"Really, there's just so much going on, just so much unfinished business," he said. "There is never really a good time to quit, but there seems to be a lot hanging over from the last eight or so years that needs to be completed."
A new arm of law enforcement hit the streets in Harlem on Friday.
Volunteers in the Har-lem Department of Public Safety's newly formed Citizens On Patrol program began patrolling city streets.
"This is not a response to any overwhelming crime trend," Chief Gary Jones said, adding that the program is part of the department's commitment to community policing. It's a tool to help "promote transparency, cooperation and partnership with the community."
A dozen people volunteered to become COP officers and patrol the city in four-hour shifts.
It's finally happening... soon.
Officials say the plan for widening a three-mile section of Washington Road in Evans will start in the spring.
Ronnie Hutto, the pre- construction engineer for Columbia County, said the project, which is budgeted at $24.6 million, is being paid for by one-cent sales tax funds. He said it could take up to three years to complete.
Months before it filed a bid to build a hospital in Columbia County, Doctors Hospital of Augusta attacked the very loopholes it now wants to exploit to put a facility there.
Doctors, University Hospital and Georgia Regents Health System have filed bids in response to Columbia County's Request for Proposals to build at least a 100-bed hospital with a trauma unit in the county, the state's largest without a hospital.
The owner of a Martinez hamburger joint called police Tuesday to have a group of former employees who were seeking back pay removed from the property. Six former employees of St. Louis Original Hamburgers went to the Furys Ferry Road restaurant to get back pay they say the owner, Gregory A. Glover, owes them.
"As we walked up to the door, he came up and locked it," said Jarrod Coffey, the unofficial leader of the group, all of whom say they worked at the restaurant and were not paid.
The following accounts were taken from Columbia County Sheriff's Office incident reports:
Computer is hacked
A Martinez woman recently told deputies that a teen hacked her computer and stole her personal information.
The 32-year-old woman said an Appling 14-year-old called her 13-year-old son just after 11 p.m. on Jan. 12 and yelled profanities at him. The woman said she took the phone and asked the teen caller what the problem was.
For a half a century, Martinez Elementary School pupils got the building blocks of their educations in the same school building on Flowing Wells Road.
Now, the foundation of a new school is being laid on the same site.
Principal Wade White said his staff and pupils are settled into the former Belair Elementary School building, their temporary home during construction of the new $16.5 million school. They opened in the new Belair school location – and with about half of that school's population – in August.
Growth in Fort Gordon's cyber and intelligence missions will bring thousands of new personnel to the post over the next five years and hundreds of new students for Columbia County schools.
That was the message Fort Gordon Garrison Commander Col. Sam Anderson gave to members of the Columbia County Board of Education this week. Anderson, who has been regularly attending board meetings in recent months, said he wanted to give school officials an idea of how much growth they could expect as the post takes in between 3,700 and 4,000 additional personnel by 2019.
Some of the equipment woes of Harlem Department of Public Safety will be cured this month when it receives additional radios for its reserve officer program.
Thanks to a $2,310 donation by the Deputy J.D. Paugh Memorial Foundation, the department will be able to purchase three Kenwood NX200 portable radios, which come complete with lapel microphones, additional antennas and batteries, and service plans.
Anyone with chili-cooking prowess is asked to come cook their special recipe Saturday for the third annual Chilly Chili Cook-Off.
The event will be from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Evans Towne Center Park.
"You don't have to be a business or a pro chili-cooker," said Kelly Garcia, an event organizer and office manager for the organization. "If you think you've got a good recipe and you want to join, it's just fun."

How do you get rid of cigarette odor from a car?
I am considering buying a BMW e60. I have found one car that I like. However, the previous owner smoked in the car. Is there any way of getting rid of the awful smell of cigarettes from the car's interior?
DrivePur Smok- is very effective at eliminating cigarette and other odors. It has the ability to penetrate, seek out and react with the components of tobacco smoke (tar and nicotine) dissolving and converting them into gaseous molecules without causing any damage to fabrics, materials or hard surfaces.
Allergen, Odour and Germ removal Systems - http://www.autopia.org/forum/guide-d...ml#post1459219
Or try and find someone w an ozone generator
Clean Air
Wad up a dryer sheet (Bounce) ad stuff in the ash tray.
It will absorb most odors. However, if the previous owner smoked a lot in the car, carpets/upholstery may need to be replaced to remove all the smoke damage.
ZorbX, get it at Lowe's
urine odor in floor of my car
The floor of my BMW smells like urine and I haven't the slightest idea how to get it out. I really need help with it. It smells bad.
Un-Duz-It - is a concentrated, professional quality formula that utilizes enzymes to digest the bacteria, it utilizes bio-enzymes the complex organic substances formed in the living cells of plants and animals as catalysts for the decomposition of organic-related odours and stains. -It is effective on all water-safe surfaces including carpets, rugs, drapes, upholstery, mattresses, wood, plastic, clothing, vinyl, trash containers, concrete, tile and more. TOTL
I rented an ozone machine from a local rental shop and ran it overnight inside the car. It did a pretty good job but when winter arrived and I turned on the heater it all came back worse than ever. I traded in the car the following day.
You need to get a good detailer that has a O Zone machine...He can do a detail on the inside this includes cleaning the air ducts with a chemical that eliminates the odors that are trapped in there, then run the O Zone machine over night and that should take 99.9% of the odor.
wash down entire interior with ammonia solution. Do a deep wet scrub of the carpet where smoke is absorbed and use a wet vac to pickup the water. Leave windows open forever and drive with the heater full blast. One day, the smell will be gone.

Beautiful villa in relaxing and peaceful location
We were so impressed when we arrived at this lovely villa. Blanka and John were so hospitable and Blanka presented us with a much appreciated food platter and drinks. The villa had everything you would need for a stress-free and relaxing break. Everything you would find at home was right there. The property was so spacious that everyone could have their own area and not be under each others feet. The bbq room was a great place to cook the amazing selection of meat from the little butchers in the village. Time can be spent around the pool from which you have an amazing view of the mountains, valley towards the sea and small town below. We could not fault a thing. We had a truly amazing holiday and did not want to go home. Thank you Blanka and John. Also for the recommendations, advice on places to visit and restaurants and John's expert travel directions. We would thoroughly recommend this property.

Lovely and relaxing!
Our stay at Villa Blanka was everything we hoped it would be -- charming, peaceful and relaxing -- and all thanks to Blanka and John. They are wonderful, caring hosts who made us feel very welcome. Blanka and John gave us lots of good tips on places to visits. Our holiday was only short, but we took their advice and managed to explore Split, Omis and Trogir, all worth the visit.
The villa, itself, is beautiful with loads of room inside and out. It is well-maintained, very clean and the kitchen is well-equipped. The gardens around Villa Blanka are beautiful and perfect for whiling away the afternoon. And the views are stunning!
We hope to return to Villa Blanka for a nice, long holiday!
The perfect Croatian gem
We spent a glorious week at Villa Blanka for our family summer holiday. What can I say? It's perfect!
The villa has everything you need - all of the home comforts that make a family holiday run smoothly (washing machine, dishwasher, satellite TV, wifi); a beautiful, large swimming pool - which our 2 sons LOVED and spent most of the day splashing around in; different spaces to relax in the lush, well-tended garden (there are 3 hammocks, so no one need miss out), multiple options for al-fresco dining around the villa - including a really special BBQ area, and lots of space inside. My husband and I made the most of having our own 'wing' in the villa, while the boys enjoyed their own bathroom and sitting room. It was such a treat!
The view is spectacular. The villa looks out over the valley, and the dramatic craggy hilltops and sea view complete the vista. There are plenty of beautiful beaches within a 20 minute drive, including one of Croatia's few sandy beaches - a rare find!
Blanka and John are wonderful hosts; genuinely warm and welcoming (really, nothing is too much trouble), but never intrusive. Blanka made us a delicious welcome lunch and we were also lucky enough to be left a gift of local cake, part-way through our holiday.
We are starting to consider our 2016 summer holiday, and I can't imagine we could ever find somewhere as wonderful as Villa Blanka. If we visit Croatia again, we will definitely return! Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
A lovely quiet spacious Croatian retreat
The Stone Villa Blanka is a wonderful retreat just south of Split in the hills above a lovely small village. Blanka and John were wonderful hosts who met us when we arrived and gave us some valuable information about the area and sites to see and then left us to unwind in the serenity of the Croatian countryside. They were warm and welcoming and it was great to know that they were at the end of the phone if we needed them. Blanka prepared some delicious food and drink for our arrival which we were very grateful for after our long journey. The villa is at the very end of a narrow winding road and took a bit of getting used to but it was a very quiet and peaceful location with only the sound of the cicadas and birds during the day as you relaxed by the pool or in one of the hammocks in the beautiful grounds. The villa is spacious and there was plenty of room for our family members to find a quiet area to chill or use the communal areas to play card games or eat. There are 2 tables outside where we ate breakfast and an amazing room at the top of the property with a open fire/oven and eating area where you can enjoy an indoor barbeque. The village is a couple of miles down the hill and has all of the shops that you would require including butcher (great meat), baker (wonderful custard squares), grocery store so you can get your provisions. There is a river that runs through the village and a path that runs beside it. one way goes to the sea and if you go up the river a few hundred metres you will come to an old mill. We wandered in here and the owner Marko made us welcome and served us some of his home made flavoured water and it was brilliant. This mill was used for filming Game of Thrones and is quite a little gem. We went back one evening and Marko cooked a traditional Croatian meal for us which was delicious and very good value. The villa is about 20 minutes drive from Split and there is plenty to see and do in the area including boat trips from Split to the islands and 90minutes from Krka national park. It was a wonderful holiday and the whole family enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you very much Blanka and John.
A fabulous rural retreat
We have spent three very happy holidays at Villa Blanka. It is a charming traditional Croatian stone house with views of the Adriatic in the distance. The accommodation is very comfortable with an outside terrace for eating and a lovely swimming pool. The gardens are lovely and well looked after by the owner. The house is convenient for Split and a good base for exploring the area. The owner is very helpful and happy to give good advice on local restaurants, places to visit etc. We have enjoyed our stays so much that we keep returning! It feels like home.
A fantastic place to stay!
We spent a fantastic 10 days in the Villa Blanca last month - the weather was great and the villa well placed for day trips along the coast and to the islands. The owners were very helpful and had lots of suggestions of places to visit in the local area. We also spent a number of days just relaxing in the beautiful garden or swimming in the pool. All the rooms were tastefully decorated and very comfortable, and there was everything provided for a perfect family holiday. If you are planning a trip to Croatia, we would definitely recommend staying at the Villa Blanca!

Andy Flower, Andrew Strauss and the England selectors should tell Jimmy Anderson to take his missus and kids on holiday for the next few weeks and sit out the final Test.
And Jimmy should take them up on the offer, knowing that the series against the West Indies is safely in the bag and that he has done more than his fair share towards accomplishing that.
And if anyone asks any questions over why England's leading strike bowler is being left out, Flower should take the Sir Alex Ferguson stance and say 'because I say so.'
For fast bowlers in the modern era – with the amount of international matches played now – managing your body is key. And with the hectic 12 months England have ahead of them, Anderson should take every opportunity offered to him to rest up, whether he likes it or not!
But there is another reason England should shake things up a bit for the final Test at Edgbaston – they need to see more of Steve Finn.
The Middlesex bowler was close to getting the nod at Trent Bridge ahead of Tim Bresnan. The fear is, if England continue to play an unchanged side, any injuries could leave them exposed and having to play inexperienced players.
And that's the last thing you want, especially with a Test series against South Africa later this summer.
So the more games they can give Finn before then, the better because he isn't going to learn anything carrying the drinks.
Jimmy was centre stage at Trent Bridge for more than one reason as he shared a few verbals with West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels on the opening day. We could hear what was being said on the stump microphone in the Sky commentary box although there was nothing too strong.
There has been a clamour for the stump microphone to be streamed live into the broadcast, but that is never going to happen.
Jimmy Anderson set for rest in third Test
Red Rose face Durham crunch
While there have been a few bust-ups on the cricket field and some, shall we say, industrial language used, there has never been anything too bad. But even so, it can be bad enough for us not to want it to go out live!
Anyone who knows Jimmy will tell you off the field he is a calm, mild-mannered guy. But there is something about him – and Stuart Broad for that matter – that when they get their whites on, they change.
But that is what you want from your fast bowlers. You want some aggression and some frustration when they aren't getting wickets.
There will be some people scoffing at the fact Lancashire lost to Holland on Monday. Let me tell you, there is no shame in losing to the Dutch. It is not all clogs and tulips when you go over there to play cricket nowadays. Holland are an international team who have played in World Cups and are a decent side – as they are showing by topping Group A in the CB40. Plenty of other teams have, and will continue to, struggle against the Dutch.
Not many people would have expected this week's Championship clash between Lancs and Durham to be deemed a relegation battle, with both clubs in the bottom three. But from their last few performances, Lancashire look to be on the up and I am positive they will be okay. There is an awful lot of cricket still to be played.

This is two of the head bolts. As you can see they have NO aluminum on them. I did not see any of them with aluminum on them.

This is two of the head bolts. As you can see they have NO aluminum on them. I did not see any of them with aluminum on them.
This is one of head gaskets. It really fell apart. This had a lot of stop leak in it
This is some of that bunching I talk about
This part did not look that bad, but It has a lot of stop leak.
This is some rust on the head gasket
This stop leak really attacked the gasket
More of that stop leak build up.
The stop leak was so thick it plug the holes in the head gaskets and in the heads. Stu (the tech) had to use a drill to clean out the steam holes.
GM will not warranty the Big Timesert or Norm's. GM states that if the bolt hole has erosion you can not TimeSert it and you must Replace the short block.
From my understanding all 1998 cars are now out of Warranty. With in a year all 1999 will be out they will not have any more 1999 and older Certified cars left under warranty.
I would never purchase a 96 to 99 Cadillac unless it was a 98 or 99 Seville and that maybe limited to a STS.
You can buy a 2002 or 2003 Seville for $6500 with 100K+ miles. A 99 Deville maybe worth $3k to $6K. Subtract the $3000 to $6000 for head gaskets and you have JUNK.
A 99 STS with 100K will go for $9000 now you can fix the car.
The reason I say up to $6000 in head gasket repairs is because of the cam shaft failure in the 93 to 99 models.
the pictures are 4 years old. We had a higher level of zinc then.

I had forgot about this company until I got a phone call last night.
AJ, are these aftermarket gaskets?
Very interesting writeup AJ, well done. My 98 SLS blew the gasket, but for a different reason than the one that you showed. The metal on my block was great, no pits or corrosion, hell the threads didn't even pull out, what killed mine were two gashes in the surface of the head, near the water jacket. I assume that they were a factory flaw from the factory, but I never did find the reason. In your estimation, since the block was in good shape, no powdered shavings, or pits, what are the chances of my 98 blowing a head gasket again?
AJ, It's too bad that CF doesn't pay an hourly rate. Thanks for the extensive homework. The complete set should be a Northstar or Tech sticky.
Thanks for the info, I will watch more carefully when I do another one. Maybe I'm lucky so far!
I did realize there was a difference on some holes when I drilled them but didn't record or check them as well as you have.
My bad holes were very obviously different from my good holes. The good ones snapped really hard when they broke loose and the holes and bolts were dry. The bad ones were wet with coolant (I think). They was a slimy - and silvery coating - it was almost like anti-seize compound on the bolt threads. I think only one of them was completely stripped, but I drilled and inserted them all. I don't recall seeing any powdery aluminum - maybe I missed it.
I have given this a lot of thought, and I think (just a theory - just an opinion) the head gaskets let go first, allowed coolant & exhaust gases into the bolt holes and that degraded and corroded the aluminum to the point where the bolts let go, and the exhaust then entered the cooling system in a big way.
excellent write up this is a very good read if you are a northstar owner.

Posted by Steveson R Ramkissoon
I am a school teacher with a wife and a child who came to NY 24 years ago for medical care both for my daughter and myself. Our medical situation is guarded. I could not return to my country. I had to find work, the only available legal way to find a job was to get legal status. I then found an attorney in New York who successfully got Asylum for me and my family. The attorney was questionable and disbarred from practicing law in New York. When my work permit expired after five years i could not renew it, both for my wife and myself. My family and i lived a life of terror not knowing what will happen to us. Thank God by word of mouth Mr Charles R Conroy Esq was recommended because of his excellent reviews. I have no regrets in hiring this attorney since 2014 to date. I was scared, Mr Conroy made my family and me very comfortable.He was easy to talk to and gave me a sense of security that every thing will be OK. To date my family and me have been issued permanent residence status (green cards). For any one wanting legal status or have issues. please contact Mr Charles R Conroy Esq. He will fix it and make you feel like a friend. On behalf of my family and myself, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 5 STARS WELL DERSERVED

After looking for an Immigration lawyer on the internet for a considerable time I found and decided to go with Charles. I must say I had no regrets. He's very good in his field and he took careful timeout in helping me along the way with my case. He's professional, reasonable, reliable, has a good rapport and very understanding. I urge anyone looking for help with Immigration to contact him as soon as possible cause he's definitely worth every penny. Thanks again Charles.

I definitely recommend Charles Conroy because of how he helped me win my asylum case. I feel like I've known him my whole life and can call him for any legal advice even though he is no longer representing me. Today I have the opportunities in life that I couldn't have otherwise, all because of how Charles dedicated himself to my case and understood it so well, better than others who thought it was impossible to win. I remember the day I won my case so clearly and will be forever thankful for the work Charles put into it. The judge even said that he is one of those lawyers that makes a hard case easy for him to grant. Charles cares about my success in life and always asks me how I am doing with my education and never forgets to ask about my little boy, whom Charles reminded me to think about when I wanted to give up on myself. I am able to feel free and confident today because Charles made me feel important and showed me how to take one step at the time, and he told me that we are all the same in the eyes of the law and do not deserve to be treated differently. I am so grateful that he was my lawyer and recommend him to anyone who has a legal issue with immigration. He is the best at what he does and would care for you just like a friend.

Charles Conroy was a big part in helping to change my life. Charles represented me when I was afraid to go back to my country because of my gender and sexual orientation. He is a very positive person and cared so much about helping me, even taking the time to travel from Orlando to Miami for my asylum interview. He was there for me through my entire process, and was always straightforward and honest. Because of Charles, I won my asylum case. Even after he left to practice immigration law in New York City, he still called me and gave me great references to help me move forward with my life. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs an immigration lawyer.
Posted by Rachelle & Max
I applied for political asylum and Charles Conroy was my lawyer. Charles is a great lawyer, he helped me with my case. Charles was on our side all the way. Without Charles, I don't think I would be here today with my family. Charles never gave up on the case, he stood by our side and helped us.
So we want to tell Chuck thank you. When we originally went to the trial, the judge didn't approve our case. Charles did not give up - he sent an application for review by a higher tribunal. Six months after they sent the case back to the same judge, Charles walked with us again and we won.

(from Turfway Park report)
Straight Line seeks back-to-back stakes win Saturday in the $50,000 Forego Stakes at Turfway Park, but the competition promises to be stiff.
Twice a grade III winner at Churchill Downs, Straight Line also has two wins on Polytrack, one the Holiday Cheer Stakes at Turfway in December and the other a strong optional allowance at Keeneland last fall. He can win on the lead or will come from off the pace but would appreciate a clean trip. With Eclipse Award winner Julien Leparoux in the irons, Straight Line should get what he needs. Harvey Vanier trains.
Seven line up in opposition for the 6 1/2-furlong Forego. Leading them is Will He Shine, a lightly raced 5-year-old from the barn of trainer Dale Romans. Will He Shine has four wins in seven career starts and has never missed the money. In his most recent race, the Gravesend (gr. III) at Aqueduct, he was beaten just a length to finish third behind grade I winner Bishop Court Hill. Since then Will He Shine has posted two bullet works at Churchill's Trackside training center. He gets the benefit of leading rider Miguel Mena in his Polytrack debut.
Six-year-old Yucatan won the Forego last year and since then has raced almost exclusively -- and competitively -- in stakes company. In 14 starts last year he won four times, including three stakes on turf or dirt, and was second or third seven times. Rafael Mojica Jr. rides for trainer Leroy Simon.
Rebecca Maker sends Buddy Got Even for his first stakes appearance with apprentice Alonso Quinonez to ride. Buddy Got Even was two-for-four last year and won his only start this year, each time with a long late run. He has three Polytrack wins, two at Keeneland and one at Turfway, and has been in the money in five of seven career starts.
The 10-year-old gelding Twilight Road, a multiple graded stakes winner to be ridden by Phil Teator, helps make this an interesting event.
Eyeforglory, five-for-nine at Turfway and a winner last out, has Bill Troilo in the saddle.
