Very dirty, Ghastly soiled blankets ....
Sehr schmutzig, grauslich verschmutzte Decken....
Location, as described in ideal busier street, but quiet in the backyard. Reliable Agency, good description of where and how (in the Paris office) to get key. Housekeeping until shortly before 16 o'clock. Key must not be returned upon departure. Apartment was shown, but unfortunately poorly maintained and cleaned (hair and adhesive surfaces everywhere). Missing light bulbs, because of mold in the bathroom geeingnet not for allergy sufferers! Dishes ok because dishwasher available.
Lage, wie beschrieben ideal in belebter straße, aber ruhig im Hinterhof. Zuverlässige Agentur, gute beschreibung, wo und wie (im Pariser Büro) man schlüssel erhält.
Zimmerreinigung erfolgt erst bis kurz vor 16Uhr. Schlüssel muss bei Abreise nicht zurückgebracht werden. Appartment war wie dargestellt, aber leider nicht gepflegt und schlecht gereinigt (Haare und klebende Oberflächen überall). Fehlende Glühbirnen; wegen Schimmel im Bad nicht für Allergiker geeingnet!
Geschirr ok, da Geschirrspülmaschine vorhanden.
Nice and quiet apartment. It is little, but everything is there. The bathroom is very simple, and it takes a lot off time to fill the bath. The metro (pigalle) is about 500 meters. There's a carrefout and monop nearby.
Very dirty, despite paying cleaning, broken appliances, clogged kitchen drain leaking, a horrible musty smell, needs urgent reform. Maybe the situation at the foot of the Sacred Heart.
Muy sucio, a pesar de pagar la limpieza, electrodomésticos rotos, desagüe de la cocina obstruido con filtraciones, un horrible olor a humedad, necesita una reforma urgente. Lo mejor la situación a los pies del Sagrado Corazón.
All in all very positive! Expiration of the keys to the flat, everything went very well. The apartment is clean and in good condition! It is available to cater for all to yourself The only "downside" is that the apartment is noisy, which made me personally did not really care, and when an old building is normal too!
Alles in allem sehr positiv!
Von Ablauf der Schlüsselübergabe bis zur Wohnung ist alles sehr gut gelaufen. Die Wohnung ist in einem guten Zustand und sauber!
Es ist alles vorhanden um sich selbst zu verpflegen
Der einzige "Nachteil" ist, dass die Wohnung hellhörig ist, was mich persönlich aber nicht weiter gestört hat und bei einem Altbau auch normal ist!
We did enjoy our stay in this flat very much. It was very cosy and charming. No disturbing noices from outside during night. All the equipment worked good and linen and tovels were in place.
Sure, the floor was a bit asqew and squeaked when walking around, but that we thought was a bit of its charm during these five days we stayed.
And, just a tip, at the end on our street, there was this bakery where they sold very very tasty baguettes!
totally recommend you to stay here!
We were three and we had a pleasant stay. Everything is almost, comfortable bedding, bathroom / wc small. The big +: ideally located in Paris (50 m Republique Metro station), lively.
Nous étions 3 et nous avons passé un agréable séjour. Tout y est ou presque, literie confortable, salle d'eau/wc petite. Le gros + : idéalement situé dans Paris (à 50 m station de métro République), quartier animé.

hollow core cut off
I have a hollow core door that is wood, we installed carpet in a room that previouly had none and now the door won't close. Can i just cut off a strip of wood fromt he bottom? How thick is the wooden block on the bottom? Thanks, Dan.
Hi Dan,
I have generally seen the bottom block to be about 1 1/2" thick. But a couple of door I have worked with had thinner ones, or may have already been cut some. You could probably detect the solid block using one of the sonic style stud finders. If you do cut all the way threw the solid part. You can get veneer part of the cut off block off and size it to fit again in the hollow section of the door. Use good quality wood glue and clamps to re fasten it if need be.
Cut the Door
I've done it before, just cut it off but be carefull with the blade you use not to tear up and spinter the exterior surface which is very thin.. use masking tape over the outside, run your pencil line over the masking tape, cut thru the tape and door at the same time, will save the thin surface from splintering. the bottom filler is about 2" x 2" so if you cut more then that off the bottom will be hollow so just glue in the pice you cut off after you remove the thin facing. which may be glued and stapled on. or just cut another piece for it by ripping a 2x4 to size which is easier then trying to save the old piece. , go problem at all as long as you don't tear up the door or the finish.. while making your cut..

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: martinibuster
Paying $25 per page is just too cost prohibitive for sites of any size and waiting for Yahoo! to actually getting around to index a large site completely will likely take a few lifetimes at their current pace.
I think that the amount of revenue that Yahoo! would generate through their PFI program would rise dramatically if there were a way to insure that an entire site would be added to their index at one time. Think of the possibilities. This could be a win-win for both Yahoo! and webmasters. Yahoo would get a far greater number of sites joining their PFI program and webmasters would no longer have to sit and wait for their entire site to get indexed.
What would you pay to have your entire site indexed in Y? $100, $500, more?
Ink has Trusted Feed for 500+ page sites:
I'd guess Yahoo! will probably do something similar.
joined:Oct 27, 2001
votes: 0
Given that it is unlikely that Yahoo! will see the light and go to aggressive indexing of the web a la Google
They will if they want to compete.
Some sites are a work of passion with little monetization of traffic. They're essential and important to the general well being of the internet.
For these sites, I'm sure webmasters could fork up some $'s comparable to the cost of their hosting. Perhaps this is added to the hosting plan as a few dollars per month by the ISP. (Go McDonalds style with this one.. not Mortons'.)
Some sites are affiliate sites and while they monetize their traffic the ROI is not significant enough to justify trusted feeds, besides, do trusted feeds handle affiliate sites?
Again, I suspect webmasters would pay $'s which are a percentage of their earnings, pennies on the click? Figure out a way to get into the affiliate cut without taking the affiliates out. Keep in mind that many of the affiliates (perhaps a majority?) are hard working put their hearts and souls into their work.
Figure out a flat fee type deal for these folks. $150 per month per site. The site gets a review every quarter and the $150 pays for the bandwidth of the spider and the chunk of HTML spewed out in the serp.
Ecommerce sites would again have to pay comparable to their profits (not sales, mind you) on the click.
Now here's the fun part.. we run all three types of sites, they're essential to our diversification and our survival. Unfortunately, our audience is based in a small part in Asia, who, while they search the US engines for their widgets do not justify spending the huge $'s per page that is currently offered by the various PFI players.
Today we have to deal with a plethora of regional 'hoos and 'tomis and 'oogles which makes it extremely difficult to justify the spend online. We're better of doing PFI in dead-tree media for now. ;)
Add some geotargetting to the PFI and CPC type deals while you're at it -- i.e. if someone from Elbonia searches for black widgets a store selling black widgets in elbonia comes up number 1.
We're getting there slowly... its close, but its no cigar.
If I were Yahoo - and last night I was and people kept typing things into my skull (I work too much) then the only way forward would be to increase free crawling and develop better spam filters. I'm talking ridiculously strong spam filters!
Yahoo has enough commercial content already, what search engine doesn't though, to become more popular they need to return more non-commercial results for the amazing number of non-commercial searches on their search engine.
Google's problem was that they wanted to be the popular kid in the class so they kept listening to what webmasters wanted. As soon as they started pandering to what we want, they became unpopular with the regular users. Google's results are so commercial it's unreal. Yahoo can beat Google by not caring about their popularity with SEO's and just aiming for relevant results.
Yahoo, I feel that if you want a successful search engine that is popular with the world, start dumping your commercial content - 50 commercial results is just as useful to your searchers as 50,000 per search - and start giving users what they want. If that means that some of my sites don't make it onto your search engine, fine, at least when I want to search for something I'll have somewhere to go ...
Based on the cost of consideration into their directory, my big fear with Yahoo is they'll charge a huge fee that people with non-commercial pages or pages that just do smalltime advertising/affiliate stuff won't be able to afford.
Would they stop crawling whitehouse.gov because the PFI check did not come through?

A move to cap the number of restaurants and bars on Parkdale's popular Queen Street strip has cleared its first hurdle and is gaining attention as a model for controlling growth in other downtown neighbourhoods.
A proposed bylaw that would limit restaurants to 25 per cent of all businesses in four sections of Queen Street West between Dufferin Street and Roncesvalles Avenue was approved Tuesday by the Toronto East York community council. It will go to city council next month. The rules would replace a temporary freeze on new establishments imposed to allow staff to study the area.
The new rules are designed to moderate the spread of bars and restaurants in the trendy neighbourhood that has become a destination for late-night revellers. It's an attempt to strike a balance between the needs of local residents and existing stores and new establishments eager to move into the burgeoning location.
In the past two years alone, Chantecler, Grand Electric, Porzia, Keriwa, Electric Mud and Kanji have made their home in the neighbourhood.
Some downtown councillors say they'll be watching how the cap works with an eye to applying it to commercial streets in their area. Others, including Mayor Rob Ford, say the proposals go too far.
Local councillor Gord Perks says the new bylaw is an attempt to "lower the temperature" on Queen West and respond to residents who are woken at 3 a.m. by "a screaming mob" from local bars. It also aims to foster a mixed-use neighbourhood where everyday services such as groceries are within walking distance – something he says is under threat as more clubs and restaurants move in.
Mr. Perks points to an area between Dufferin Street and Brock Avenue where restaurants and bars account for one-third of businesses as an example of why growth needs to be checked. Under the proposal, existing operations would be allowed to stay, but no new restaurants could open in sections of the street where they make up more than one in four businesses.
Asked about the proposal, Mr. Ford said he does not agree. "I'm a capitalist as you know. I believe in free enterprise," he said Tuesday. "If people want to open up restaurants, more power to them. It creates jobs. It's fantastic for the economy."
Mr. Perks said the new bylaw – which could be challenged at the Ontario Municipal Board – is an extension of existing efforts to shape development. "We already have controls on the free market – that's what planning is," he said.
Several residents, enjoying the afternoon sun Tuesday, said the restrictions are a bad idea.
"I find it a shame actually. I'd like to see more of it to tell you the truth," said Darrah Mackenzie, 33, who lives near Queen Street and O'Hara Avenue. "There's great food, great drinks, a lot of nightlife and entertainment. I think it brings a lot to the neighbourhood."
Fatima Laabaidi, 63, has lived in the area for a decade and says any complaints should be targeted toward the drug dealers she sees in the area, rather than legitimate businesses. "There are many restaurants, but it's not a bad thing," she says.
Local businessman Jeremy Day, who works at the Cadillac Lounge and owns two bar properties in Parkdale, said it is unfair to say what kind of business can be opened, but says owners must take responsibility, as well. "If people are making money off people who are causing a disturbance, then the onus is on them to control that noise," Mr. Day says.
Mr. Day's boss and owner of the Cadillac Lounge says he supports the cap and bars should be more spread out because "it gets a little crazy on a Saturday night."
"There's just too many people that are getting out of the bars at 2 o'clock," Sam Grosso says. "Some of them are overserved, some of them are getting wild and some of them are just plain having a good time. And they don't realize that there's a family that lives just down the street."
Ana Bartula, head of the Parkdale Village Business Improvement Association, says it has members on both sides of the issue, and has remained neutral. If the bylaw gets council approval, she expects one or two local businesses to appeal it to the OMB, meaning the current freeze will continue until the legal challenge is resolved. Ms. Bartula cautions other neighbourhoods who are looking to follow in Parkdale's path. "It is not a perfect template, " she says. "This isn't a black-and-white issue."Report Typo/Error

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie vetoed a bill that would allow transgenders to change their gender on their birth certificate. This is the second time the New Jersey legislature passed this legislation and it's also the second time the presidential candidate vetoed it.
For the second time in 18 months, Governor Christie on Monday vetoed a bill that would allow transgendered people to amend their birth certificates without proof that they had undergone a sex-change operation.
Christie's reasoning echoed his previous concerns about security and the possibility that the bill would create "legal uncertainties"
"Birth certificates unlock access to many of our nation and state's critical and protected benefits such as passports, driver's licenses, and social services, as well as other important security-dependent allowances,"
Christie wrote in his veto message. "Accordingly, I remain committed to the principle that efforts to significantly alter state law concerning the issuance of vital records that have the potential to create legal uncertainties should be closely scrutinized and sparingly approved."
Christie cited fraud and abuse as reasons for halting this change. Critics charge that this veto is politically motivated as he is running for President. Critics also say the veto would force transgenders to have a sex change operation since that is their only option if they want to legally be the opposite sex.
Do you agree with Governor Christie that your birth certificate should reflect the gender that you physically are? Please comment below.

Moving sailboat from Annapolis to Maine
We will be sailing/motoring a 40-foot sailboat with a 8-10 draft, deisel engine in April 2012 from Annapolis to Maine. Anticipated crew is captain plus 3. We're looking for objective information about routes, draft/ bridge clearances etc. Considering C&D canal vs going out the Chesapeake under the Bay bridge and hanging a left. If we take the C&D Del river to Cape May then NOT attempt any further inland passages given spar height of 53 feet, but stay off the beach of NJ and make a choice at New york to o up east river, and use Long Island sound vs outside Montauk. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Any insights on depth of C&D at low tide etc., etc. is greatly appreciated!
I suggest, having made the trip North a large number of times your best deal is to go through the C&D and then offshore to clear Nantucket Shoals and then North along the shore to your port of call in Maine.
You don't mention if time is a factor, or whether you just want to get there. Is this a new to you boat? If so, the trip down the Bay might be a good shakedown. Just some food for thought.
I agree with PB, if you are in a rush it makes sense to go outside but that assumes the boat is sorted out and ready for it. I would go through the C and D and Delware Bay and then outside to New York. With a really good forecast and the boat working well you can stay outside, but in general I would be inclined to go into NY harbor and then through Long Island Sound and Cape Cod Canal. A pleasant trip with many worthwhile places to visit on the way.
Having done this trip many times myself, I Would take SV Auspicious advice and head straight up the coast. My only qualm with doing that would be if you have not had enough time to shake your new vessel down. In that case I would do the coastal route and then the inside route through the East River and then the Cape Cod Canal.
The canal at Cape May has two bridges that I believe have 55 feet of clearance. Went through there a couple of years ago with a boat that had 53 feet to the top of the mast. Can do but pay attention to the tides.
If it is a new boat to you I would check it over carefully including going up the mast for an inspection. don't ask why I recommend this. :)
Have fun.
Plenty of water up my way. Take the Cape Cod Canal straight up coast, which can also be faster. Numerous deep anchorages unless you're looking for a straight shot.
Thanks, all we'll have a captain sailing it up, and time is not really a factor. This sould like great advice everyone! Fair winds, calm seas......
Re: Moving sailboat from Annapolis to Maine
Hello, justed happend to find this thread here and am looking into the same route end of June this year: Heading from Annapolis to Kennebunk Port in Maine...
Is there any input on how long your trips did take (those people who have done it already).
Would probably also go thorugh the Canals rather than sail outside, at least for the trip up, maybe stay outside on the trip back down...
Just trying to figure out a rough time estimate (And yes, I am aware that it makes a difference if you sail all day or anchor at night) I was just wondering what experiences other people made...
Thank you very much already!

Impact of US Quantitative Easing Policy on Emerging Asia
The adoption of quantitative easing (QE) policy by the United States (US) Federal Reserve Bank since early 2009 has aroused widespread concerns in Asia and elsewhere regarding its possible impact in terms of the weakening of the US dollar and stimulating capital outflows to emerging economies that might increase inflationary pressures in them. This report investigates possible impacts of US quantitative easing policy on Asian economies and financial markets.

Spider-Man features an upset Peter Parker cursing about "Mother Hubbard."
And then the front door was opened briskly and Old Mother Hubbard entered the room.
Mother Hubbard has gone to the butcher's and she'll get you a bone, I'm sure.
"O, yes'm; I'd be delighted," replied Mother Hubbard, a smile lighting up her face even to the floury tip of her nose.
We've had a lovely dance, Mother Hubbard, and now I must hurry home.
I have been blamed for printing and distributing "Mother Hubbard."
Mother Hubbard: "Let me see; I've had 'em—four girls and a half."
From this prompting came the illustration of Mother Hubbard.
"You poor dear girl," said Mother Hubbard, going up to her, and taking her hand.
The women wore plain Mother Hubbard dresses and straw sailor hats, and the men gingham suits.
Old Mother Hubbard, nursery rhyme, was printed 1805, written by Sarah Catherine Martin (1768-1826) but based on earlier material of unknown origin (the name is attested from 1591).

New strain of Parvo
Just saw this on Facebook. Does anyone have more information?
"FYI huge parvo outbreak in SoCal we have lost two dogs and have a third in er... Our vet said to warn all rescues about it as there's a new strain that attacks and kills dogs rapidly worse than all other strains. Yesterday, Romeo a five mo old pup we have went into full blown seizure and bled and peed all over. I took him to our vet to get checked out for lethargy and we ended up with him seizing and having blood and urine come out of his body from both ends he went up to a 107 temp from seizure and passed away on the vet table after trying everything to bring him back he wouldn't come back he is the second one to contract the virus from my rescue that hasn't lived... Three other rescues also had dogs die this week. He is sending samples of their blood to be tested to try to help get a cure in the future for dogs. There is NO vaccine for this parvo strain immediately start vet treatment if dogs show following signs: excessive drooling, runny nose, weight loss or loss of appetite, kennel cough, immobility, fever... The photos below show a rapid decrease in health within only two days time frame watch your dogs for any signs of sickness and take them in immediately with even the slightest problem!"
Orange County I believe. All the rescues I follow have had parvo pups in the past week or two, and one recently died. :/

Thanks for the heads up and very sorry about the losses . Certainly not good news but thanks for the heads up!
Oh okay, yeah that's no where near me... Feel sorry for the pups that didn't make it though

About Me
I'm a photographer that also specializes in photoshop and special effects makeup. On the side I do a lot of digital illustration and design. Just working on building up my portfolio while still in town, and hoping to utilize some of the incredible scenery here. A lot of my work is really eclectic, and I'm always into new looks and ideas. Creativity is everything. I do all kinds of projects from anything artistic to weddings, family portraits, and a whole lot of headshots (My specialty). Hoping to hunt down some new people to shoot, and hopefully set up some networking while doing so.
A lot of my other work is posted to a free online gallery at guyleroy.deviantart.com and I'm looking to get a legitimate website up and running as soon as possible.
My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Feel free to contact me about any kind of project, I love a challenge, and I'm more than willing to tackle any idea. Hit me up!

February 9th, 2010
Has anyone else noticed any kind of cognition or poor decision making after having bypass surgery and/or treatment for prostate cancer which included radiation and hormone therapy in someone else or yourself?
My father had heart bypass surgery about 2 years ago - 4 bypasses. Additionally he has undergone hormone therapy and radiation for prostate cancer. The prostate cancer treatment ended in August '09. His PSA level is back to normal, zero.
Approximately 2-1/2 months ago his brother, I'll call him James started bugging me about father. James says he thinks father is using poor judgement in decision making and that father is also claiming to have had conversations with him that never took place. One such conversation was where father accused James of having an affair with one of father's female friends. I've spoken with both James and the female friend who have assured me that there is no truth to that accusation.
My sister and I have been keeping an eye on father but haven't seen any unusual behaviors. However, James keeps calling me demanding that I do something.(What he wants me to do, I have no idea). Also, until about 1 week ago James refused to talk to father at all. James has finally talked to father but he says father has denied ever having the conversation about the affair.
Father and James have "butted heads" all of their adult lives. They, along with some other siblings, own a small business and the two brothers disagree on most decisions.
I'm desperate for help. James is driving me crazy! Should I talk with father's doctor to see if there may be something going on here? HELP!

IT WAS fairly obvious from the beginning, but now, it's finally official.
DNA tests have confirmed a pair of identical twins who were separated at birth, raised in different continents and spoke different languages are in fact blood relatives.
Samantha Futerman and Anais Bordier grew up 5000 miles apart but started their journey together in South Korea in 1987 when they were put up for adoption by their parents.
Border spent her childhood in France while Futerman lived in New Jersey, US. Neither knew of each other's existence.
But when Futerman posted a clip on YouTube chronicling how it felt to be adopted, she never realised what would happen next.
"I don't think about it all the time, I'm not like little orphan Annie," Futerman said in the clip.
"I was born in Korea and four months later I arrived at JFK airport, where apparently all babies don't come from ... and I met my family for the first time."
Little did Futerman know that her identical twin saw the clip and noticed similarities between the two of them. So drawn was Bordier to Futerman, she found her on Facebook and sent her a message that would change their lives forever.
"My name is Anaias, I'm French and live in London," it read.
"About two months ago, my friend was watching one of your videos ... and he saw you and thought that we looked really similar."
The 26-year-olds soon discovered there were too many similarities not to ignore, including the fact they were born on the same day and in the same city. Until then, neither knew the other existed.
"When I looked at her photos I was completely blown away. It was like I was looking at myself ... except it wasn't me.
"I have been given a chance to start a new journey in life ... one that includes my first living blood relative and my potential identical match".
So they met in London three months later and again in Los Angeles and New York and though they were convinced they were blood relatives, felt they needed medical confirmation. So they sought a DNA test ... and history was made.
But what of their parents? Nobody is quite sure yet, they're whereabouts and identity are still a mystery.
In any case, the pair are making a documentary of their incredible discovery. Through online crowd-funding site Kickstarter they have raised just over $73,000 from their $80,000 goal.
"I never thought I was missing anything", Futerman told NBC news.
Until now ...

Mayhem # 2608519
About Me***Now looking for TFP in Chicago Area!! My schedule is clear May 1-16 so please contact me if you'd like to shoot!!! ***
Modeling has always been a dream of mine.. Now I'm looking to make this dream into a reality! I am very open minded, and not afraid to try new things. (However I do not shoot nude!)
I offer a very unique and versitile look that showcases my heritage, Native American and Irish. I have been modeling for two years and have gained great experience. I travel quite a bit and I love to work with new photogs from all over. In the next few months I will mostly be traveling between the Caribbean (USVI) and Northeast USA (Mostly Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland). I am currently living in Chicago, IL and would love to work with the talented photographers in this area. I have not had time to shoot much in the last few months due to work and travel, but I am trying to dive right back into the game! :)
In most of cases I prefer to do my own hair, makeup, and typically find my own wardrobe unless a specific wardrobe is provided. However I would not be opposed to working with a MUA/hairstylist if it is wished by photographer.
I also consider travel, as long as I am compensated, and it is not too long of a period of time. I need to book shoots at least 2 weeks in advance so I will be able to adjust my schedule around the shoot.
If you are truely interested in working with me, it may be easier to contact me on my Facebook page, as I check that more frequently.
I look forward to continuing to expand my potential, increase my modeling knowledge, and build my portfolio with the help of some amazing photographers!

The arts benefit Tucsonans of all ages, are an essential part of K-12 education, and help attract tourists and employers to our region. Here are some ways the Mayor's Office is promoting the arts.
Mayor announces Tucson Festival of Films, a "best of" 7 local festivals
At an October 2014 press conference, Mayor Rothschild announced that 7 local film festivals had agreed to combine forces to create a "best of" festival, with promotional assistance from Visit Tucson, the agency charged with increasing tourism in the Tucson region. The goal is to further establish Tucson as a destination for film and filmmakers—attracting tourists and industry professionals while raising the profile of individual festivals.
The Tucson Festival of Films is set to take place October 8-10, 2015 at the Temple of Music and Art.
Featured festivals
Arizona International Film Festival
Arizona Underground Film Festival
Native Eyes Film Showcase
Tucson Cine-Mexico
Tucson Film & Music Festival
Tucson International Jewish Film Festival
Tucson Terror Fest
Mayor appoints Poet Laureate to promote writing, literacy
From a panel of finalists selected by the Tucson Pima Arts Council and the University of Arizona Poetry Center, Mayor Rothschild appointed local poet Rebecca Seiferle as Tucson's Poet Laureate. The decision was announced at a September 2012 press conference. Since then, Ms. Seiferle has taught writing workshops in local classrooms and held two poetry contests, open to all Tucson K-12 students. The position is a voluntary one.
Mayor's Gallery exhibitions feature local artists
Currently, the Mayor's Gallery exhibition features local artists Jerry Cagle, Sheryl Hester, Linda Merz, Vivian Rayford and Jessie Shinn. Visitors to the office can enjoy the artworks, which are also available for purchase. The exhibition will be up until April 2017.
Mayor's Gallery exhibitions are curated by the Tucson Pima Arts Council.

Recruit: Deng Adel
Position: Small forward
Location: Bradenton, Fla., Victory Rock Prep School
Height: 6-7
Ranking: No. 18 nationally; five-star; No. 2 small forward
The scouting report: "A high-level athlete, Adel is a native of Australia that arrived in the U.S. the fall before his junior season. Adel, a 6-7 SF, plays with effort and energy on both ends. He's a strong driver and finisher in the paint, as he's physically strong and is an impressive leaper. Off the catch, he's a good shooter to 22-feet. If he's going to deck it, he's likely to drive all the way to the rim. He's a good rebounder and potentially a good defender" - Scout.com
Quotable: Evan Daniels, Scout.com "Adel is an exceptional athlete and has very good size for a wing at 6-7. He's quick, can make shots off the catch to three and is improving as as mid-range jump shooter. He also plays very well in transition and in space. Adel is a good fit for Louisville's system and should be effective in their press. He has a lot of potential on the defensive end because of his lateral speed, length and overall athleticism. He takes that end of the floor seriously."
Overall analysis: Adel is a great start to the 2015 class for the Cardinals. He was the top target for about a year or so and assistant Mike Balado put in a lot of work. Adel is ready to play right away and should be able to thrive in the Rick Pitino system. He's a no non-sense player with a high motor. Fun to watch.
The rest of the class:Look for the Cardinals to put the full-court press on the guards in this class. U of L is after about 6-7 and will try to narrow down that focus this week. A guard and a big man are likely adds.

" Much faster than external USB Zip "
In the past year I've been using external, parallel port Zip drives and found them reliable, affordable and hassle free. I'd always found them a bit slow when using large files (i.e. 10-20mb). This improved with the release of the USB Zip, which was much faster than the old parallel Zip and cheaper too. External Zip drives are great for offices or for people who need removable storage on different machines. But what about for home users? Removable storage is priceless for people who want to back up system data, game saves (some game saves are 5mb each!)and all those new drivers and patches you spend so long downloading. As Windows operating systems are a lottery at the best of times, you'll never know when you have to format the C: drive and start all over...for those times an internal Zip drive is ideal. The drive only costs £40 and blank 100mb discs are £6 in the high street. My drive was actually a Panasonic which Zip markings. You can also get an internal 250mb drive for around £100-£120 and blank 250mb discs for £10-15. I didn't need that much storage as you can use 2 or 3 100mb discs instead of trying to fit everything onto a single 250mb disc. Fitting was very easy, although I needed an adaptor bracket to fit this 3.5" drive into my spare 5.25" bay (bracket and screws cost £4). Plug the internal Zip into an EIDE socket on the motherboard, plug in the power (from your PC's PSU) and off you go...it's that simple! You don't need to install software, Windows recognises it as an internal drive called "Removeable Disc". I was pleased to find it considerably faster than the USB Zip drive (which wasn't slow to start with); in essence it's like having a small hard drive. That's it really, very simple and effective: only £10 more than a cd-rom drive and you get a cool 100mb of fast, removable storage. Great for backin
g up your Deux Ex game saves, your Detonator 3 drivers, or for taking your latest photoshop creation to the local printers.

Is this true or should I wait for a specific amount of time?
thanks for your time ;-)

Looking for advice on the insurance adjuster process for hail damage
Hi all,
We had a State Farm adjuster stop by today due to hail damage. He wrote out two checks for replacing the north siding, roof, window screens, and a few other things. He suggested getting in touch with our mortgage company first as they are included on the check. Then he recommended we get in touch with a contractor to fix the damage.
A few questions:
1) How much is too much to point out to the adjuster? The south side of our house also has a few small cracks and dings. An amount is included for the screens on that side, but not the siding.
2) Is the correct process the one he suggested, or am I accepting State Farm's amount by proceeding with contacting the mortgage lender about the check?
The amount itself seems decent, so I'm just not sure if I'm maybe being *too* picky. Any thoughts or advice?
- Matt
Did you mention any of this to him while he was there?
If not and your that concerned call him back and ask for him to come back. They miss stuff all the time and would just need some pictures prove the loss to write up an amended claim.
Hail damage and contractors that service it can be a total scam. There are contractors that literally chase storms right behind fools that look for tornadoes. The contractors move into hail damaged places, print business cards, stay in nice hotels, and milk the unsuspecting.
Do not cash the adjustment checks until you get real estimates from real local contractors. State Farm is not bad with claims but their actuaries factor in these gypsy contractors into what things cost. You can and probably deserve more than the band aid the adjuster has offered.
State Farm and all insurance companies make money settling and having you sign off quickly. Sometimes it works out. Usually holding out for reasonable estimates will serve you better. I know you do not want your house looking like it was hit by a space alien baseball team but be patient if you can. You paid premiums all these years right?
roofer told me never say anything to an adjuster during a walk around as i had complete roof ripped after a nor'easter keeping my mouth shut he threw in the garage roof $2500,$3000 for a fence that coat me $200 to install,3 ceilings repainted $500 each one from water drips.... your premium will increase by years end also with this claim.i ask the claims guyat the end on pointing stuff out? he said it is the worst thing a home owner could do,and that he does it as his profession and it does effect the final amounts

Making a waterproof/weatherproof enclosures for a network camera & its power hub
I recently bought a network camera that I put on a tripod and set up outdoors to record outdoor time lapse videos as part of a project. The camera itself is "splash-resistant" (IPX4) and can be used outdoors but is meant to be installed under eaves or something similar, not fully exposed to the elements. The camera is powered by two ethernet cables and an AC adapter; the first ethernet cable runs back and plugs into one end of a "Power Transfer Unit" which is a small lightweight box-like thing about 3 inches square and a second ethernet cable plugs into the other end of the Power Transfer Unit and runs back to plug into the router inside. The AC adapter also connects to the Power Transfer Unit and then plugs into any ordinary socket.
I'd like to be able to weatherproof the camera and the Power Transfer Unit so that they can remain outdoors without any major worries; what would be the best way to do this?
I don't think the camera itself has to be fully enclosed, it just should have something above, behind and to the sides of it (while still allowing enough room to adjust it as needed). The Power Transfer Unit and its AC adapter are not waterproof and are meant solely for indoor use but it would be a lot easier to keep it outdoors since otherwise I have to have the ethernet cable running through the entire length of my house. I was thinking of some kind of Rubbermaid storage container that I could put it in with three holes; one for the first ethernet cable, one for the second and one for an extension cord that I'd plug into the AC adapter inside the container and then have running back out to the nearest outlet. I'm just not sure how I'd waterproof something like that, or how I'd easily cut the right sized holes. Another important factor is that none of these things can be permanent, i.e. no silicon spray or permanent sealant/adhesive that would keep either the camera or the power transfer unit permanently enclosed; I've got to be able to take them out again in case I need to return them or when I want to use the camera indoors or in a tight location where the enclosure might get in the way.
Thanks in advance for any ideas and help!
btw here's a pic of the camera & power transfer unit for reference:

Lara, over at Life, the Ongoing Education, tagged me for a crazy 8 meme. I've done this before on my personal blog, but I thought it might be interesting to try it with my professional life in mind. I've taken the liberty of changing some of the questions a little to suit my work, and I've left off the last "tag eight people to do this" bit. Ready? Here we go:
Eight Things
I Am Passionate About About Which I am Passionate
1. Grammar and its proper use.
2. Education, both mine and everyone else's.
3. Reading. Not only do I enjoy reading, but I find that I learn a lot from the process.
4. Writing. Sometimes, I don't know what I think about a topic or idea until I start to write about it.
5. My students. Some of them make me absolutely crazy, but I care deeply about all of them, even the ones who couldn't give a crap about me or what I have to teach them.
6. Improvement. I'm rarely content with "good enough," and I try to model for my students that the effort it takes to make something better is always worth it.
7. Standards. I'm committed to making my students rise to the bar I've set for them, and I don't think that it's unreasonable to set that bar higher than it's historically been set at TCC.
8. Discussion. I learn so much, from both my students and my colleagues, when I engage them in conversation. The viewpoints and ideas they offer me are exciting and challenging, and I come away from our discussions a smarter, better informed and thoughtful person.
Eight Things I Want to Do Before I Die
1. Earn another degree.
2. Teach at a bigger school.
3. Earn a full-time position.
4. Have an office of my own.
5. Work on a committee that sets curriculum and standards.
6. Take cooking courses at TCC.
7. Teach a Lit. and Film course.
8. Establish a well-founded Diversity Club at TCC.
Eight Things I Say Often
1. "Seriously? You don't have a pen?!"
2. "Listen up; this is important."
3. "What do YOU think it means?"
4. "I do not accept late work."
5. "Remember; films and books are separate works of art."
6. "Have you done the reading?"
7. "Okay, but how did you get from there to here?"
8. "Um…yeah… NO!"
Eight Books I've Read Recently (edited to include short stories and poems)
1. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Lewis Stevenson
2. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
3. Brother of the Mount of Olives by Paul Monette
4. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
5. Courting a Monk by Katherine Min
6. Hamlet by William Shakespeare
7. Sympathy by Paul Lawrence Dunbar
8. The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe
Eight Songs I
Could Listen to Over and Over Again I Use in My Lessons
1. "Cold as it Gets" by Patty Griffin
2. "The Stranger" by Billy Joel
3. "The Soul Cages" by Sting
4. "The Downesaster Alexa" by Billy Joel
5. "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot
6. "Raven" by Dave Matthew's Band
7. "The Rhythm of Life" by Edwin McCain
8. "Driving the Last Spike" by Genesis
Eight Movies I
Have Seen Eight Times Use in Lessons
1. Frankenstein (the Hallmark production)
2. A Christmas Carol (the Patrick Stewart production)
3. Hamlet (the Franco Zeffirelli production)
4. Glory
5. Nuremberg (the TNT production)
6. Mississippi Burning
7. The Last Samurai
8. Ever After
Happy Monday, Everyone!

HTC 's Peter Chou is generally a rather softly spoken guy, happy to let his products do the talking for him. However, following a ruling against HTC in a patent battle with Apple, the Taiwanese chief executive has issued a warning to the Cupertino company.
Last week the International Trade Commission (ITC) made a preliminary ruling that HTC was infringing two Apple patents in relation to smartphones. HTC is set to appeal the decision, and Chou is fully confident it will win. "We have enough patents to make a stand," Chou told the BBC. He added that the "war" for smartphone dominance should be fought in the market place and not the courts.
The final decision of the full ITC panel, and not just one judge who made the preliminary decision, is due on 6 December. Chou's confidence may stem from the recent purchase of S3 Graphics which is part-owned by HTC co-founder and chairwoman Cher Wang. While HTC is a large player in the smartphone market, it only holds a couple of hundred patents, making it very susceptible to patent lawsuits. However S3 Graphics holds 235 further patents, a couple of which Apple has already been found to be infringing upon.
To send Apple a message, Chou chose the medium of Chinese parable (as you do): "We all have been living in this village for a long time, making war. But one day this powerful man came and took all weapons and said these are my powerful weapons. But this war belongs to all and nobody has a right to ask other people to leave. "
"What it means," explains Chou, is "we started making smartphones before him... We don't want to copy anyone, we want to be a premium product. This world, this market is very big... is for all of us. Nobody should tell other people to leave and we should compete in the market place, let consumers decide... rather than in court."
The battle with HTC is just one part of Apple's growing battle with Google's operating system as a whole, and analysts are predicting a large patent war brewing between Apple and the entire Android ecosystem – which should be fun.

Super Foods For Healthy Weight Gain
The key for healthy weight gain resides not only in how much you eat, but most importantly, the types of foods you consume.
I've been on a weight gain program for a while now, and I've been seeing gains of about 1lb a week (also touted as a healthy rate for weight gain).
Download this ebook: Nutrition 101: Your Building Blocks For Optimal Health – and discover the step-by-step process I use to gain weight healithy.
Calorie dense foods are the goldmine for gaining weight in addition to having a good bodyweight training programme. Attending the gym isn't necessary; however it will give you somewhat better results depending on your goals though.
Below is a list of 'super foods', foods that are densely packed with the nutrients you require for weight gain and a healthy body.
Don't be afraid of the high fat content present in these foods. Most of the fat is unsaturated and is perfectly healthy for your heart and body.
Peanut Butter
- Regarded as a super sports food.
- Contains a decent amount of protein for growth, and fibre to elevate constipation.
- Calorie-Dense: 588 Calories in 100g (72% fat, 12% carbs, 16% carbohydrates.)
- Hosts a variety of disease-fighting substances: Manganese, vitamin E, folate, tryptophan, vitamin B3, and copper.
You don't need to go to the extremes like some other people do; by eating directly out of the jar, that'll just make you pack on some serious fat!
I consume peanut butter just by spreading it over two slices of rye bread in the morning, and on top of my bagels in the evening. It's an easy way to consume calories.
- An extremely great source of protein and fat.
- Rich in omega 3 (monounsaturated) fat and alpha-linolenic acids.
- Regularly touted as a bodybuilding food, because they burn fat too!
- Calorie-Dense: 700 Calories in 100g – that's about 28% of your RDA.
- The most powerful food for weight gain in this list.
Walnuts are described as the king of tree nuts, and I couldn't agree more.
Recent studies have insinuated that Walnuts may provide a boost to the number, quality and overall vitality of sperm cells in men – great for people trying for a baby.
I can tell you from experience, there is no way on earth that you'll fail to gain weight if Walnuts are in your diet and you're eating them regularly.
I consume about 50g of Walnuts per day with a tin of baked beans. That's a total of about 700 calories!
Pumpkin Seeds
- Extremely high levels of manganese and magnesium. The French recommended daily intake for magnesium is about 410-450mg, research states that most men are only getting 353mg. Additional research also concludes that men who have the highest levels of magnesium in their blood had a 40% lower risk of early death.
- Nutrient-dense super food that keeps you full for longer. Pumpkin seeds can actually assist in weight gain when eaten regularly.
- 150 calories in only 25g.
- An incredibly excellent source of protein and fat.
I'm not kidding when it comes to the power of pumpkin seeds – they potentially have the highest nutritional value for protein, out of all seeds and nuts. Sprinkle some pumpkin seeds into your salads and atop of your sandwich spreads.
- High fat content – excellent source of monounsaturated fat. Increases the absorption of other carotenoid-rich foods like fruits and vegetables – best eaten with a salad.
- Average avocado contains a minimum of 200 calories! – that's 10% of a 2,000 calorie diet
- Fruit that was made specifically for your skin. Avocados are rich in vitamins A, D and E. Great for eating and for application on the skin.
Regardless of whether you're trying to gain, maintain or lose weight. Avocados are a food that you should consistently eat for the health benefits alone. I've recently fallen in love with avocados.
Initially I thought avocados would taste revolting, purely because it felt like I was holding a green, slimy, foreign substance from Planet Namek! Now I have one once a day.
As you can see above, I have listed the top 4 foods I personally know helps with weight gain. Eat them regularly in conjunction with a balanced diet, and you will be making all kinds of gains. All kinds.
In addition to the above, I recommend adding sunflower seeds, eggs, oily fish such as salmon or tuna and olive oil to your diet. These foods are ALL good sources of fat and protein that will help promote healthy weight gain.

Movies I tend to go for anything, although I'm particularly fond of Benjamin Button. I'm not a huge TV person these days.
Music I listen to everything from classic to dubstep to pop to industrial and anything in between. If it sounds good, I'll check it out.
Food is good.

A bit of breaking news for you folks. It's been announced that Chris Rock will be the host of the Oscars. Yes, the comedian/actor has been selected to lead the 88th Academy Awards telecast, marking the second time that Rock has been given this prestigious job. Not everyone wants to do it more than once, or accepts it when offered, so this now puts him into a small club of returning hosts. I didn't include him in my recent speculation about how could get the gig, so it just goes to show how unpredictable things can be. It's his job now, so let's discuss that for a little bit…
First up, for comparison's sake, here's the other folks who are in Rock's club of hosting the Academy Awards at least twice:
Bob Hope (19 times)
Billy Crystal (9 times)
Johnny Carson (5 times)
Whoopi Goldberg (4 times)
Jack Lemmon (4 times)
Jerry Lewis (3 times)
Steve Martin (3 times)
Conrad Nagel (3 times)
David Niven (3 times)
Jack Benny (2 times)
Chevy Chase (2 times)
Sammy Davis Jr. (2 times)
Ellen DeGeneres (2 times)
William C. deMille (2 times)
Jane Fonda (2 times)
Goldie Hawn (2 times)
Walter Matthau (2 times)
Richard Pryor (2 times)
Frank Sinatra (2 times)
James Stewart (2 times)
Jon Stewart (2 times)
Add in Rock to the two time club and those are all of the men and women who have been Oscar hosts more than once.
One thing to keep in mind about that above list is that a lot of those names that you might not have realized were hosts (let along hosts more than once) are there because they were part of a group that co-hosted the ceremony. I've often wondered if that could be something that the Academy goes back to for their show one day, but so far, they've just gone with two hosts of less in the modern era. There's nothing wrong with that, especially since I've never especially disliked their choices, but I'd be thrilled to see them just have a group of stars co-host again one day. It'd be different, that's for sure.
As for Rock, I enjoyed his last time around back in 2005, but I didn't think he was the best choice ever. He's not the worst either, and that's the thing here…you rarely get raves or pans. Most just think of the job as a necessary evil. I'm a bit more generous, thinking that everyone pretty much has been fine so far, with a few doing slightly better than […]

This item is available in two different styles of Decibel Headphone Hoodie or PressPlay Headphone Hoodie in black.
If you like the hoodie style, but don't need the added bonus headphones, we've also got a classic zip-up version of the red Decibel Hoodie.
$laurenkitsune prefers her sick noise canceling headphones so she sports the regular Decibel Hoodie!

How the Headphone Hoodie Works
Hoodie contains a standard headphone jack in the front pocket that plugs into any headphone-compatible device, like an MP3 player, iPod or iPhone, or other mobile device.
Once plugged into the device of your choice, the audio travels through embedded cables within the hoodie to the headphones, which are built in to the ends of the drawstrings.
Plug in to your hoodie wherever you goat the gym, on your way to work or on the plane. It's machine washable in cold water, even the headphones. Hang up to dry. Your built-in headphones are always tangle-free and ready to rock!
NEW High Decibel Tee
Our super cool DJ style tee is also pretty rockin'. Available in wearable asphalt the High Decibel Tee is a perfect complement to these other musical styles.Shop High Decibel Tee
