SILVERSTONE: Frustrated Mark Webber admitted he ignored team orders not to overtake his Red Bull teammate Sebastian Vettel during the final stages of Sunday's British Grand Prix.
The 34-year-old Australian caught German Vettel in the final laps and despite instructions from his team telling him to 'maintain the gap', he mounted several unsuccessful overtaking attempts before settling for third behind winner Fernando Alonso.
Webber, who famously remarked 'not bad for a number two driver' after his victory at Silverstone last year, said he was unhappy with the team's decision and had decided to ignore them.
"I am not fine with it, no," he said. "If Fernando (Alonso) retires on the last lap, we are fighting for the win.
"Of course I ignored the team because I wanted to try and get a place. Seb was doing his best, I was doing my best. I wasn't going to crash with anyone.
"I try to do my best with the amount of one way conversation I was having - I was trying to do my best to pass the guy in front."
Webber played down talk of another favouritism row and suggested that if the situation had been reversed, Vettel would have responded in the same way.
When asked if he was feeling like the number two driver again, he said: "Not really.
"Four or five laps to go, they started to chat to me about holding my position. I wanted the points but I also wanted to get some more points as well.
"I just wanted to race to the end and I'm sure if it had been the other way round it would have been like that as well."
Defending drivers' champion Vettel, 24, said he understood why the team asked them not to race each other but conceded that he had enjoyed the battle.
"I try to stay ahead, nothing wrong with that," he said.
"If you have the cars quite isolated in second and third, with the first guy away and the fourth guy pretty far away, from the team's point of view there is no point racing and doing something stupid.
"The difference between second and third is not massive but we naturally try to race. I tried to hold position. I was struggling, Mark was faster and then there was the chequered flag."
Vettel added that he thought the situation had been blown wildly out of proportion.
"To me at this stage it is quite amusing," he said.
"If it was the other way around, there is no point - of course I would like to overtake Mark at that stage, so no point trying to do something stupid. I don't see why there is such a fuss."
Vettel finished second and now holds an 80 point lead in the title race, Webber is second with 124 points, with Alonso of Ferrari a further 12 points adrift.

text: CHERRY HILL, N.J. and PORTLAND, Maine, March 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank ®, today officially opened its corporate campus along Interstate 85 in Greenville, S.C., which includes a brand-new, modern Contact Center facility. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130315/PH78013-a )(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130315/PH78013-b )(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081031/NEF005LOGO-a ) "The TD Corporate Campus in Greenville is a major investment in the local economy, and is the result of a strong partnership between TD and local, regional and state officials," said Bharat Masrani, President and CEO, TD Bank. "This is a prime location that will support the continued growth of America's Most Convenient Bank in South Carolina and across our Maine to Florida footprint." TD's Greenville campus will serve as a regional center for company operations including credit card services, audit, small business, technology, employee training and customer service. To date, TD Bank has hired nearly 600 employees to staff the campus, and expects to bring on an additional 800 employees within the next three to five years. Located in the center of campus is the bank's new Contact Center, which will employ more than 500 employees and offer live customer service in the bank's Maine-to- Florida footprint. The Contact Center – TD Bank's third on the East Coast – previously operated in a temporary location on campus, taking its first call on Aug. 2, 2012. In January, the Contact Center reached its 1 millionth call milestone, and employees moved into the center's permanent location in Building C recently. "TD Bank's corporate campus in Greenville is a great asset to South Carolina, bringing hundreds of new jobs for our citizens," said Governor Nikki R. Haley. "When strong corporations like TD Bank invest is South Carolina it not only strengthens our economy, but it shows this is a great state in which to do business." "TD has invested in South Carolina through lending, providing jobs, giving grants to area non-profits and providing our unmatched convenience in banking," said Rob Hoak, Regional President for TD Bank in South Carolina. "Our campus grand opening is another TD promise fulfilled." The campus comprises three buildings with nearly 300,000-square-feet of office space situated on 67 acres along I-85. Construction recently was completed on the center building, which houses the Contact Center. The bank will submit the building for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification, a designation already achieved by the other two buildings. Among the facilities' environmentally friendly features are state-of-the-art lighting and climate controls, high efficiency water fixtures, recycled and low-emitting building materials and bicycle storage for employees.

Best view in Rio? Pushing limits of slum tourism
By Stuart Grudgings
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Rolf Glaser zips his motorbike up the twisting alleyways of Vidigal slum, past a bunch of cheerful, gun-packing drug traffickers, and emerges at a cliffside plateau next to some demolished shacks.
A scrawny dog barks angrily from a nearby rooftop.
This, the German developer says with a straight face, could be Rio de Janeiro's next tourist hotspot.
"Can you imagine sitting up here on a terrace with a glass of wine?" he muses, motioning toward the sparkling azure Atlantic Ocean that filled the view on a boiling summer day.
"Do you think you would miss anything?"
Many Brazilians, Glaser admits, think he is missing something by planning to turn one of the hundreds of Rio slums -- whose names are synonymous with violence, drug-dealing and poverty -- into a trendy new spot on the city's tourist map.
Slum residents, many of whom clean the streets and tidy the homes of the rich, are often criminalized in people's minds purely by association with the "favelas," which are often controlled by drug gangs armed to the teeth.
But blond-haired, blue-eyed Glaser is one of a small, bold band of foreigners going where most Rio residents fear to tread, catering to tourists who want to see the "real" Rio beyond the sleazy Copacabana beach district and trips to the Christ the Redeemer statue. Continued...

I had a nose job 7 months ago, in montreal, where I live. I told the surgeon I wanted to removed my bump and lift a little the tip of my nose which went kind of downward. The tip of my nose is fine now and the result is getting better with time and most of all very natural. However, the right side of my nose where was my bump appeared like a few days after I had the operation.I'm supposed to see the doctor on February 1st, 8 months after the operation. Can I do sometimes about the fact that I asked him to removed my bump but it stills a litttle there on one side? What are the things that I can do, not forgetting I live in Montreal. Do you thing I can get an other operation for free because I did asked him to removed it completely and it still appeared on one side. Thank you!

Citigroup Upgrades Pegasus Solutions to 'Hold'
Citigroup upgraded Pegasus Solutions (PEGS ) to hold from sell.
Analyst David Richter says he's upgrading on valuation and the company's moderate leverage to an eventual lodging industry recovery. He notes the stock has been weak, falling 30% since mid-September. As for an industry recovery, he says the third-quarter earnings per share announcements by a majority of hotel operators indicates a recovery could gain momentum by early 2004.
Richter is keeping his 42 cents 2003 earnings per share and 52 cents 2004 earnings per share estimates; he has a $13 target. He notes the 2004 earnings per share estimate assumes proceeds from the company's July 2003 convertible senior note offering are held in cash, which he estimates is 8 cents dilutive to full-year cash earnings per share.

Can. 1061 §1. A valid marriage between the baptized is called ratum tantum if it has not been consummated; it is called ratum et consummatum if the spouses have performed between themselves in a human fashion a conjugal act which is suitable in itself for the procreation of offspring, to which marriage is ordered by its nature and by which the spouses become one flesh.
§2. After a marriage has been celebrated, if the spouses have lived together consummation is presumed until the contrary is proven.
Can. 1141 A marriage that is ratum et consummatum can be dissolved by no human power and by no cause, except death.
Can. 1142 For a just cause, the Roman Pontiff can dissolve a non-consummated marriage between baptized persons or between a baptized party and a non-baptized party at the request of both parties or of one of them, even if the other party is unwilling.
A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,
but only in expressing his opinion.

BEACONSFIELD SYCOB boss Byron Walton insists all the pressure is on derby rivals Slough ahead of their play-off clash this evening (Thursday, 7.45pm).
The Rams secured their spot in the top five despite a final day defeat to Daventry. Northwood missed out on the chance to leapfrog them by losing at Leighton.
It has been a different story for the Rebels, who were still gunning for the title until two weeks ago and finished a comfortable second – 15 points above fifth-placed SYCOB.
But Slough's preparation for the end-of-season Holloways Park clash has been far from ideal. Their final game of the season at Woodford was postponed on Saturday and again on Tuesday, which means they have not played since April 21.
And they are without a win in their last three outings, conceding nine goals in the process.
Beaconsfield have won only one of their last five games themselves but Walton has challenged his players to take advantage of their underdog tag when they meet their tenants.
"The pressure is off for the Slough game to be honest," he said after Saturday's game. "It's really important that we give a good account of ourselves. The players will be raring to go for it and anything can happen.
"We were very nervy today because of the expectation. We didn't play particularly well but that doesn't matter – we have a chance in the play-offs now."
When the two sides met on Boxing Day, Slough came out on top but honours were even in a 1-1 draw between the two on April 9.
After finishing rock bottom of the Evo-Stik Division One Central last season, Walton has masterminded a remarkable turnaround that has seen The Rams in the top five for most of the season.
"It's an achievement to have at least reached the play-offs this year," he said. "Based on the whole season, we deserved to get there."
The winner of the tonight's game will take on Bedworth United in the final on Monday for a place in the Evo-Stik Southern Premier Division.

Oddly enough, all of the above characterize Boston's Old North Church, though it hails from an era almost 200 years before any of the above could cross anyone's mind. After all, brick, wood, stone and slate were the available building and finishing materials, and Georgian was the design model. Yet Puritanism put a check on the ornamental excess of the kings of England.
|Photo by Victor Grigas, courtesy of Wikimedia Commons
And this is evident the moment we enter Old North. What greets us is not a hefty eyeful of cherubs, scrolls, leaf-moldings, rosettes, frescoes and statues, but a lithe dance of arches, vaults, lines, squares and slender columns that clearly reveal not only the church's structural system, but also the thinking behind the purity and simplicity.
In the name of the Anglicism with which Henry VIII had declared his independence from the Catholic church, Old North's designers and builders forswore the ornamental indulgence that characterized the abbeys, basilicas and cathedrals of European Catholicism for a clean back-to-basics feel that followed Massachusetts' established Puritan aesthetic, blended with the lowliness of North End residential architecture, and saved money to boot.

In the woods of Williston over the weekend, the hunter became the prey.
"You can see them landing on your hands, you know, looking for veins, watching them walk," Jim Savard said.
Savard was looking for deer, but it was the ticks that found him instead.
"I probably had 70 to a 100 maybe. Big ones, small ones, you know, inside my coat, outside my coat," he said.
Savard thought he got them all off until he starting finding them on his dog that didn't even go on the hunting trip.
"She goes, 'Oh my God, hon, there's one in her head,'" Savard said.
He's been hunting since he was 5.
"And I'm 60 now. So, that's a lot of years. And never, never seen ticks like this ever," he said.
Savard's not alone. Vermont's chief warden says his staff is reporting really high tick numbers, especially in the Champlain Valley. And the state's former entomologist, Jon Turmel, is seeing the same thing.
"We've have mild winters and extremely good weather for the tick populations. And we're also seeing an increase in deer populations. So between the both of them, yes, we are seeing a significant increase in tick populations."
With the increasing numbers of ticks the primary worry is Lyme disease, but researchers are discovering a new crop of diseases they say are equally as concerning.
One that's following in Lyme disease's footsteps across New England is called babesiosis.
"Babesiosis is a different critter. Lyme disease is a bacteria, the babesiosis is a protozoan, just like malaria," Turmel said.
In fact, it's called malaria's first cousin. The disease spreads by ticks and Yale researchers say they're seeing a major increase in the number of cases. Here in Vermont, the Health Department says there have been 11 confirmed cases of it in the state since 2005 and two confirmed cases this year alone.
Turmel says removing a tick properly is paramount: "Using a matchstick or a cigarette or smothering them or just grabbing hold-- that will cause the tick to regurgitate."
Regurgitate those diseases right into you.
Lifelong hunter Jim Savard says the ticks this year are so bad; he's calling it a year.
"It's so bad I said, nope, I ain't going up there," he said. "I'm scared to go in the woods."
Sitting this season out in the pickup truck.
Turmel expects the number of Babesiosis cases to rise in the state as more doctors start to recognize the disease, which has long-lasting, flu-like symptoms and can be deadly if it's misdiagnosed or left untreated.

Sixx:A.M. announces new album's release date
Sixx:A.M. announced that their next album will be released October 7.
The band, featuring Motley Crue and 97.1 the Eagle host Nikki Sixx, has already filmed a video for the first single, "Gotta Get It Right."
Last year, Sixx told Revolver that the new music is different than the band's previous work.
"When we did The Heroin Diaries, it was the soundtrack to a book," Sixx said. "And when we did This Is Gonna Hurt, there was a lot of inspiration that drew from the photography in my book 'This Is Gonna Hurt' as well as the band members' personal experiences and how they related not only to the characters in the book, but what they'd gone through growing up. Without meaning to, it hinted at this whole concept of bullying. ... We feel like between [those two albums], we've exposed a lot of wounds, and we've talked about how to recover from them, but we haven't had a chance to really celebrate. I think this album is a celebration."

Stove wiring help
I had a bathroom floor repaired and tiled . When cutting out the old sub floor the wire to the stove was cut into . I found that the builder stapled the wire onto the sub floor instead of on a joist center . My house has two floors so at the moment there is a big open spot down stairs in the ceiling . What is the best way to fix this wire? I have read i can not install a junction box unless it is able to be opened aka showing on the ceiling . The wire is long as all hell and in a bad spot to try and replace. What are my options for fixing this ? The wire reads xhhw-2 600 volts . The stove is a 3 prong plug .
You either need to replace the wire, or pull the ends of the wires back to somewhere where an accessible JBox wouldn't look so obtrusive, then replace the wire in between the two boxes.
What can be done is splice wires in a box above the ceiling and than install a access cover on the cieling. Many times a ac return grill is used to cover the hole in the ceiling. This make it is just a air return and it belong there.

Novell Inc. today announced that it has purchased Ukiah Software Inc., a developer of network management software that it hopes to incorporate into a new networking product by the end of the year.
Ukiah, a privately held company in Campbell, Calif., produces software that controls the pipeline that routes data information within business networks and over the Internet, enabling the allocation of network bandwidth within the company.
A company can use the software to ensure critical operations, such as an online financial service, are allocated enough bandwidth, said Jonathan Cohen, a Novell spokesman, in a telephone interview.
Novell plans to integrate the product with its directory services software. Terms of the purchase weren't disclosed.

But after offseason elbow surgery to clean up a bone spur from his left elbow, Sabathia said he can easy feel the difference between health and not healthy. "I definitely feel a relief," he said. "Just having that range of motion back and not having that ache at the end of my extension. I felt that right away, so hopefully I can just continue to get better and continue to feel less. After last year, going through what I went through pretty much the whole second half, playing catch so far, it feels a lot better."Joe Girardi also commented on his ace lefty:"He wasn't 100 percent last year," Girardi said. "Any time you need surgery at the end of the year, I think it's fair to say that you weren't 100 percent. But probably 95 percent of the players that go out there every day aren't 100 percent. That's part of the job. You're going to play with bumps and bruises and injuries that you can still compete with. But I feel better that we were able to address the problem and he's coming into spring training healthy. He wasn't overworked last year, so I feel better about it." Even today, Sabathia called the elbow issue an "excuse," while also acknowledging that it was "always there." Elbow surguries are generally less concerning than shoulder operations, and Sabathia's was relatively minor, so he's expected to be fully healthy for this season. Even in a down year, Sabathia reached 200 innings with a 3.38 ERA last season. "I just want to concentrate on staying healthy," Sabathia said. "Any kind of numbers I feel will be there if I'm healthy, so that's the only thing I'm worried about."I don't have to tell you, but having a healthy CC Sabathia for the entire season will be huge. With their aging lineup, the Yankees are going to need CC--and the other four starters--to be on top of their game if they want to once again compete for the AL East crown.

Skip to comments.Landlords could be punished for underage tenants' drinking (MN)
Posted on 09/25/2009 3:16:06 PM PDT by WOBBLY BOB
St. Paul may soon pass a social host ordinance that punishes adults who knowingly allow parties, where minors are drinking. That includes adults who aren't even there, including landlords. "They bear some of the responsibility to ensure it doesn't continue," said St. Paul Council Member Russ Stark.
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.citypages.com ...
I'm surprised the National Park Service rangers don't arrest you.
Liberals never make other Liberals take responsibility for their actions. It is easier to put the blame on some poor hard working schmuck who is just trying to make a living.
I saw 10 colleges/univ in St Paul. Presuming that they have dormitories, those Pres could be held liable as the 'landlord'.
My neighborhood association in conjunction with the police have used these types of laws to great effect. It is significantly easier to rid your neighborhood of the renting drug dealing/prostituting/pre-teens breaking into houses type using these laws than letting the cops handle it.
Well then they shouldn't be surprised if anyone refuses to rent to anyone with kids in the 11-21 age group! If this were law and I was threatened with being held responsible I would refuse to rent to anyone with kids in that age range.
And it is always better to take the easy way out right?
It would already be a crime for a landlord or any other adult to be involved in providing alcohol to a minor- right?
So then what is this all about. This is about finding someone else to punish for a crime that the landlord in fact very well may have no control over it, and is a victim of a tenant gone bad as well. The landlord has no recourse in an event like this other than paying a lawyer a couple of thousand to try and evict the tenant. Of which liberal laws now assume that the tenant is always the innocent party. And if the tenant is of lower income then they can get county lawyers who won't charge them a cent. It is called legal aid.
Now if the cops were to charge the landlord with such a crime as this then the landlord would have to launch a legal defense to prove there innocence. This would cost a huge amount more money. The Law here is making one guilty of a crime by simply maybe having any knowledge about it. know who can say what the knowledge even really is or isn't. The landlord might very well have no personal relationship with these tenants at all.
Underage drinking is a crime. Providing alcohol to a minor is a crime. If those laws were enforced then the problem is solved. But that is not enough. So lets make everyone guilty. Lets make all the neighbors guilty who know and do not report it. And if grandma and grampa have any knowledge then throw them in jail too. And if the mailman maybe sees something then lets make him guilty too.
You can have your new America, and its way of viewing the world. It is not for me. And when they lock up the people who don't have health care, and fine away every cent they have, then you can cheer that on too.
Excellent points...
Well, the best I can do is assure you that this type of action is only taken in severe and on-going disruption. Landlords around here are MUCH more careful about whom they rent to.
I have neighbors who have spent the last 3 months taking shifts at night to watch and protect their own and the property of their closest neighbors because the police insist that if they didn't see it, it didn't happen. Kids under the age of 15 are given less than a wrist slap. One kid stole a neighbor's car and set it on fire. He is 13. A girl planted a pipe bomb next to someone's house. She is 12.
It was after the pipe bomb next to the house that the neighbors started keeping watch. Tell me you would put up with this on your street without using everything at your disposal to stop it.
By the way, the Police Chief dismisses our concern because we don't have anyone being shot. Yeah? Not yet.
having been 18 and a senior in high school in that year or so when 18 was legal in this state i have to say it is kinda hard, drinks or sports, or both? LOL There is also the problem of having friends a few months younger whom you want to party with and you are the one who can get the stuff, so 19 probably would be a better age, 99% will be out of high school by then and less likely to buy for younger classmates and underclassmen.
tickles, I myself was 18 once...when the legal drinking age was still 18. In fact, I became legal to drink a total of 3 times here in NY.
When I turned 18 in February, I became legal. NY state changed the law, and on December 1 of that same year...POOF! I was illegal again, until February. Two years later, the same thing happened. Legal, not legal, legal, not legal, legal. It was utter and complete nonsense then, and it's nonsense now.
BTW...I was a junior in college on my 18th birthday, and was firmly established in a career by the time I was 21. I was an adult in all things except my ability to drink beer. Sporadically.
The point is, we need to make a choice about the age of majority. Shall it be 18? 21? We need to decide, because this article illustrates what can happen when the Law of Unintended Consequences shows its face.
PS: If you recall, most states changed their drinking ages only under the duress incurred by the Fed sticking its nose in where it didn't belong (as usual). I doubt very much they would have done so without that particular extortion. It was among the only things I didn't like about the Reagan administration.
Quick tell acorn that property ownership strategy they advised might not work.
So then your real problem is that the police are not doing there Job.
Agree. My kid and I have "split" a beer since she was just a little thing.
Well giving him a bear might harm him, but a cold beer might be ok:)
That may be true, it is not against the law for a landlord to NOT be aware of the crime being committed, I.E. Alcohol being served to minors. As a landlord that only visits tenets occasionally to see if the property is being kept up and to order needed repairs, why should I be liable if a parent allows their underage teen to drink? You are a fool if you think that is a fair law.
Absolutely. I suspect that is why these laws get passed.
The landlords should refuse to rent to anyone under 21 OR anyone with kids under 21. They should send out notices to their tenants with children under 21 that should the law pass their lease will not be renewed.
Prime example of why the drinking age should be lowered to 18 or 19. This is a stupid nanny-statist law that will do more harm than good.
You are right! The drinking age should be 18. The neo-prohibitionists and statists want the government to run everyone's life.
How about kicking people out of public housing if their underage kids drink, do drugs, commit crimes?

Hi, I'm Tina.
The baby of the Islands Collection
Create a splish-splash of colorful life anywhere, even in the tiniest of spaces. Islands are perfect for your office, dorm room or yacht! Meet Tina, the little sister in the family of Islands. She has five sides and is perfect for planting your favorite orchids, herbs, ferns and succulents. She loves to be the center of attention, so use her as a living centerpiece at your next big event. She's super lightweight and can easily be moved from the table to the bookshelf as you wish!
Plants are our natural friends, so let's give them a cozy home they'll love and thrive in. Made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, Pockets are soft-sided, breathable, modular and infectiously fun! And they're made right here in the USA by our Woolly little Family.
It's not rocket science, it's Pocket Science!
In a regular pot, plants tend to get root bound, coiling inwards and eventually strangling themselves. Tina's breathable sides allow excess moisture to evaporate. Letting plants aerate helps them to breath and grow strong, healthy roots.
Tina has a moisture barrier that wraps all the way across the bottom and up the sides. This ensures floors do not get wet.
The moisture barrier also creates a reservoir of water – much like a self-watering container – that allows plants to drink at their leisure. The soil stays moist for a longer period of time, and keeps plants healthier and happier. The barrier also conserves water and keeps soil's nutrition inside the Pocket.
Pocket Dimensions
5-sided shape, no zippers
Height = 10cm
Diameter = 23cm
Soil Volume = 0.006m3
How to Grow with Tina?
1. Unfold Tina, and fill her 30.5cm from the top with high-quality potting soil.
2. Choose your favorite full-sized plants or herbs and get creative. Tina works great as a living centerpiece, so fill her with basil or oregano and invite her to your next Italian-Style meal.
Smart Watering
What you've heard is true, most indoor plants that kick the bucket do so as a result of being overwatered. However, we've done a few things to our Islands to help stop that from happening.
What Kind of Water, How Much and How Often?
We recommend watering Tina with filtered water. How much and how often you will need to water depends entirely on the plant you choose. As a guide, one cup of water per week is good for Tina. Scale up and down from there by paying attention to your soil. It's important your soil gets a bit dry in between watering, in general you want your soil to feel like a moist brownie mix.
Tina likes to be watered slowly. Use a long-spout watering can or a wine bottle, and aim for the center of the Pocket. Take your time with the watering so that the water sinks into Tina's soil and makes its way down to the reservoir.
Should you overwater your Island, you will see small beads of water form at the sides. Fear not, just stop watering! We've equipped all of our little guys with breathable sides so the excess moisture will be able to evaporate out of your Pocket's sides. To be extra careful, bring Tina to a sink for the weekly watering.

Mumford & Sons Likely For Fifth #1 Week For Babel
After the Grammy Awards impacted this week's Billboard 200, next week's chart is expected to be slower. Mumford & Sons' Babel is expected to stick around at #1 for a fifth non-consecutive week with 60,000 copies sold. This will be the longest run at #1 for a duo or group since Outkast spent seven weeks on top in 2003-2004 with Speakerboxxx/The Love Below.
This would also be the lowest sales week for the top-selling album since August, when Zac Brown Band's Uncaged was #1 with 48,000. There have been two weeks below 100,000 at #1 on the Billboard 200 this year: the Les Miserables soundtrack (January 19, 92,000) and Chris Tomlin's Burning Lights (January 26, 73,000). Babel sold 185,000 copies last week, a 242% increase.
Nearly every other album in the top ten will fall in sales after the Grammys-heavy chart. There will likely be large sales drops all around except for Alabama Shakes' Boys & Girls album. That will sell around 30,000 copies (up 130%) thanks to both being nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys and performing on Saturday Night Live.
Here are the predicted top ten for next week, with last week's rank in parenthesis.
1. Mumford & Sons – Babel (#1)
2. Bruno Mars – Unorthodox Jukebox (#3)
3. Josh Groban – All That Echoes (#5)
4. Now 45 (#8)
5. 2013 Grammy Nominees (#2)
6. Alabama Shakes – Boys & Girls (#20)
7. The Lumineers – The Lumineers (#6)
8. Rihanna – Unapologetic (#15)
9. Pitch Perfect soundtrack (#16)
10. Tim McGraw – Two Lands of Freedom (#12)
It should be noted that the Building Chart reflects the first four days (Monday through Thursday) of SoundScan's tracking week (which ends Sunday) as reported by six major merchants: iTunes, Trans World Entertainment, Best Buy, Starbucks, Target and Anderson Merchandisers. Billboard estimates that they make up about 85% of all U.S. album sales.

About Me
Music I love - Nick Drake, Van Morrison - especially the Moondance album, Simon and Garfunkel "Scarborough Fair", Kate Bush "Running Up That Hill", Todd Rundgren "Hello It's Me", and much more.
I love Keane because I find their music to be beautiful and uplifting, thought-provoking and spiritual.
Listening to Keane has inspired me to sing, play guitar and write.
I believe there is a whole side of life that we cannot see but that is out there - the invisible forces of science, nature, God and the mind.
Life is beautiful! Love and peace. T

How to extend HVAC ceiling vent through new soffit?
I framed a new soffit around HVAC ducting in the basement, and I need to somehow now extend the vent in the ducting through the new soffit and upcoming drywall. It looks like a "standard" size vent in the ducting (approx 4" x 10"?), and would need to be extended down ~3" only.
Do any of the big box stores sell something like this that would work or do I need to make something myself out of sheet metal? Big thanks for any help!
How do you attach that to the HVAC to the trunk if the vent is currently just an opening cut in the main trunk with the vent then screwed in via sheet metal screws? (I was looking for the same thing this weekend, Mike)
As agreif said, I have a roughly 10"x6" opening cut into the trunk, with the register that was attached straight to the rectangular trunk via sheet metal screws. Would I have to get a flat ~10"x~6" piece of metal, cut a smaller opening in that, and attach that flat piece to the trunk, and seal the edges?
With the extensions, how do you attach them to the trunk and attach the new register to the extension? Finally tried tackling it this weekend.. Thanks.
I looked at the little take home guide from Menards this morning and found a starting collar 230, that looks like it should work, but it looks like they are just a smaller size than the vent each of us probably has. I would be inclined to seal the hole I have with a piece of metal and then move it over a foot and put this in, but would love to hear about it from someone who knows.
The fitting I linked to assumed you already had a takeoff from the duct to the register. Since you don't have a takeoff, you need to get one. The big box stores mostly sell takeoffs that are designed to transition to round duct. Guessing that you want to keep the drywall soffit close to the existing duct, you'll need to find a sheet metal supplier in your area or online to get what you need. Check "duct register box" at this site http://www.sealtitehvac.com/product_rd.asp to give you an idea.
Thanks ACD that helps a lot. I didn't quite know the terminology so found it hard to find things/understand exactly what I need, when I was fiddling around with different pieces at the local big box store this weekend. The big box store has a limited selection, and for mostly round ducting. I guess I'll have to try someplace locally that sells more variety.
After looking at different things and fiddling around, I see now that the "takeoff" has little "fingers" (that you bend inwards) which are bent into the trunk which hold it on the inside (vs. regular ducting lacks the "fingers"). I didn't quite "get it" but now that makes perfect sense. Thanks!
Edit: Oh ya.. I realize too now (might be the same for you too agreif), it might be easiest to just seal off the old 10"x6" hole made in the trunk (with a metal plate, screws, and tape) and cut a new hole a foot down the trunk. Trying to find a takeoff piece of ducting to fit that largish hole might not be possible, and perhaps it's likely more trouble than it's worth to try and make it work.
Are sheet metal suppliers homeowner friendly? I found a couple in my area (United Refrigeration and Johnstone Supply). Would I be best calling them up first or just driving down there and telling them I needed a "duct register box?"
You ever get your ducting all finished? Did you have a local supply store with the takoff piece and register box you needed?
Guys/gals, Step one- get the measurement from the existing box to the drywall. Step 2- Go to a local HVAC shop that makes their own metal fittings and have them make one up. A simple extension we would knock out in 2 minutes and likely give it to you free of charge.
I would gladly pay someone (and it looks like it's fairly straightforward), but what is a "local HVAC shop?" Is that the same as a "sheetmetal supplier?" I'm not sure how to find the local shop via google or the yellow pages. I've tried calling a few local shops (one was a wholesaler), but no luck finding someone short of just calling an HVAC guy and probably paying him a fortune to come out for a service call. Thanks!
HVAC = heating,ventilation and air conditioning business. The guys you use to fix the furnace and air or install a new system. Yea you'll pay through the nose to have someone come out and measure for you so call and ask if they make duct. If they do take the measurements to the shop and have it made. If they don't then call another place.
Marty, great point. I'm going to look into that and also see if I can just bend a square piece out of some of the sheets they have at the big boxes and attach accordingly by making some bent flanges off the ends.
send me a picture, I can walk you thru step by step
I never posted back, but I got a 10"x3.5" rectangular piece of ducting from the local big box store and made it work. With tin snips, you can cut "fingers" in the metal. Then I attached it via screws and sealed it with that mastic stuff. It's solid and air tight. I only needed to bring it down 3" so it wasn't too difficult. The old opening I sealed up with a piece of sheet metal and mastic. I'll try to post a picture later.

Sicklerville (NJ) Timber Creek prospect Kareem Ali, one of the nation's most sought-after cornerbacks, is planning on making his college decision known on Thursday afternoon and Louisville is in the mix.
Rated as the No. 41 corner in the nation by Scout.com, the 5-foot-10, 180-pound Ali holds about two dozen scholarship offers. In addition to the Louisville offer, Clemson, Florida, Maryland, Michigan State, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Virginia, West Virginia and others made up his impressive list.
Ali recently narrowed his list of schools and spent recent days visiting those high on his list, spending Tuesday in the Derby City.
While reports surfaced prior to the visit that indicated Ali eliminated Louisville and West Virginia from his list, they may have been premature when it comes to the Cardinals. The nephew of former University of Louisville defensive back Josh Minkins, Ali has long hoped for an offer from the Cardinals and his recent visit has the Cardinals now under heavy consideration.
Time spent reaching out to the Louisville coaching staff by Timber Creek head coach Rob Hinson was rewarded when Cardinals offensive coordinator Garrick McGee responded with an offer for Ali and 2016 four-star wide receiver teammate Cameron Chambers.
"Louisville has always been a dream offer for him, because his uncle (Josh Minkins) played there," Hinson explained on Wednesday. "The previous staff never responded to our efforts to get Louisville involved in his recruitment. I was finally able to contact Coach McGee, who immediately extended an offer to Kareem and Cameron."
The relationship between McGee and Ali, which strengthened during his visit, has the chances of Louisville landing his commitment trending upward.
"Coach McGee's ability to connect with Kareem and convey Louisville's strong interest despite the lack of interest from the previous staff," Hinson said.
According to Hinson, Ali will make his decision known on Thursday at 2:10 p.m., with the Louisville, Maryland and Pittsburgh making up the finalists.
"He just spent several days in Louisville, and had all positive reviews of the school, team, and staff," said Hinson. "So, I believe Louisville should like their chances."

Various sized ZnS nanocrystals were prepared by treatment under H(2)S atmosphere. Resonance Raman spectra indicate that the electron-phonon coupling increases with increasing the size of ZnS. Surface and interfacial defects are formed during the treatment processes. Blue, green and orange emissions are observed for these ZnS. The blue emission (430 nm) from ZnS without treatment is attributed to surface states. ZnS sintered at 873 K displays orange luminescence (620 nm) while ZnS treated at 1173 K shows green emission (515 nm). The green luminescence is assigned to the electron transfer from sulfur vacancies to interstitial sulfur states, and the orange emission is caused by the recombination between interstitial zinc states and zinc vacancies. The lifetimes of the orange emission are much slower than that of the green luminescence and sensitively dependent on the treatment temperature. Controlling defect formation makes ZnS a potential material for photoelectrical applications.

3. LifeProof Nuud Waterproof iPhone Case
The Nuud case is unique because it has no screen protector. The case fits snugly around the screen, creating a waterproof seal that doesn't interfere with the sensitivity of your touchscreen display. It looks really cool, but some people are reluctant to trust a case that is essentially missing a side, despite the high number of positive reviews from users. This smooth case costs around $89.99, but you can usually find it online for less. We like LifeProof because they have such a wide range of cool case accessories, including exercise armbands or flotation devices for water photography.
Do note that the iPhone 6 Plus version of this case has been released, but it can be hard to find as LifeProof struggles to keep up with consumer demand.

LifeProof cases are really expensive, but they are rugged and feel comfortable in your hand. If you have the cash to spend, this is one of the best iPhone cases out there. In addition to being waterproof, they're also snow-proof and shockproof. The only caveat? You might want to stock up on spare adapter cables if you are prone to losing them.

Fishing 10122 January 2007
This evening we took the kids to the river for a brand new adventure : fishing! We wanted to test drive the boy's new fishing rods. And to teach the kids about fish, bait, life cycles etc. We didn't actually plan to catch fish.
Now the humour in all this is : the last time either my husband or myself went fishing… was probably 20 years ago. We're both fairly outdoors/active kinda people. And we would love our kids to be the same. But I'm not exactly huge on catching marine wildlife – fishing, crabbing, abalone catching, prawning etc.
In fact, I would probably consider myself to be a bit eco-friendly, with a save-the-wildlife kinda conscience. I don't like to kill things. Why are we bothering these fish anyway? What's the big deal? I seriously don't understand this whole male bonding, hunter/gatherer, beer at sunset thing.
Anyway. This was a test drive. Bait went on the hook. Dad cast the line into water. Dad passed the rod to the 3½ year old kid. Kid slowly reeled in the line. Oh look! Fish on the end of the line! It was textbook.
Callum caught 3 fish. He was terribly excited. Even though all 3 were blowfish. We even made a big point to let them all go. But the last one got a hook stuck deep within its guts. I'll save everyone the gory details, but lets just say I was overtaken by the Chinese chef in me and there was a LOT of explaining to do to the 3½ year old who saw everything.
