Wiring Outlet from Bathroom Light-Switch
Been doing my research and still having problems. The bathroom light switch is fed with black/white/cooper.
My understanding is black is power, white is neutral, and cooper is ground.
When taking apart the switch, I noticed the ground isn't connected to anything, however the light has always worked flawlessly.
I have a wall outlet to install however, I'm not getting results I expect or need. The closest I got tonight was turning on my test tool (my wife's straightening iron), and once I turned it on, the bathroom light came on as well.
Any help and/or guideance would be appreciated!
If you only have a single cable at the switch with a white, black and ground wire, you can not feed a receptacle from that location. That is a switch loop and there is no neutral present.
You meed to find another feed for the receptacle.
RJNILES is correct----you have Romex or BX wiring-- so the white is frequently used as a power carrier in a switch leg.
Get your own tester----:whistling2:--Never assume anything by the color of a wire---check with your tester first----use a two wire tester,the noncontact ones can not tell you if you have a neutral or a switch leg---Mike-----
BY FAR your best bet is to run a new home run.
With limited options, is there a way to add a neutral in a situation like this?
The power comes from the break panel. It then has to go through a switch in order to control a light. When you open a switch box and you see only ONE incoming cable, with just two conductors (and a ground in some cases) then you're looking at a situation where power went from the breaker box to the light FIRST and then just a switch leg was run from there to the wall. You cannot use this to power an outlet. Done, finito, not possible.
Your only option is to bring power from somewhere else. And that somewhere else should be from a circuit that can handle the added load. As in, you should not just pull it from any old location. You want to make sure where you get it from can handle the added load.
So your choice is to pull new wire. From where, well, that depends. But you're not getting it from that light switch cable.
Without more details it would be stupid to assume one way or the other.
But the question at hand has been answered: no you can't tie an outlet into the switch the way it's wired now.
Current code requires receptacles in baths to be 20 amps and can not be fed from another room except another bath if only receptacles are on the circuit. If lights and receptacle(s) are on the circuit,, it can only feed that bath. Receptacles must be GGCI protected.

Dervla Murphy
Learn more about Dervla Murphy
Dervla Murphy (born November 28, 1931, County Waterford, Ireland) is a female touring cyclist and author of adventure travel books.
In the midst of a record-setting blizzard in 1963, Dervla Murphy packed a pistol aboard Roz, her Armstrong Cadet bicycle and accomplished her first international bicycle tour - a completely self-supported solo trip from Ireland to India. In Yugoslavia, she began keeping a journal instead of mailing letters home. That journal was later published as her first book Full Tilt: Ireland to India with a Bicycle. In Full Tilt, she describes her adventures through Persia, Pakistan and Afghanistan. She particularly enjoyed Afghanistan and wrote lovingly of that country.
In the forty years since, she has bicycled through, and published numerous books on, Africa, the Balkans, Tibet, and Siberia. Generally travelling alone and unaided, she offers compelling insights into the cultures and the lives of the people she meets.
She famously (citation needed) avoids computers and wordprocessors for her writing, preferring instead to take a typewriter with her on her travels. In an interview (citation needed) she mentions that she hates gadgetry and "convenience technology", and mentions that she still does all her washing in the bath rather than using a washing machine; saying something along the lines of "It just seems better that way".

Many touring professionals and better amateurs have long carried a Titleist fairway wood. The Titleist PT (Pro Trajectory) 970 was highly regarded as one of the best fairway woods ever made. In fact, until Tiger Woods recently put the Nike T-60 fairway wood in his bag, he "had been using a modified version of the steel-shafted, small-headed Titleist PT 970 3-wood for several years."
Titleist attempted to follow up on the success of the PT with the 980F. The 980F held true to Titleist's heralded design theme - pear-shaped woods that inspire silent confidence at address. Unfortunately, the 980F failed when it came to more than looks and many pros kept the PT in their bag. The 980 - a solid club in its own right - simply could not overcome its predecessor.
Now we have Titleist's next offering, the 904F fairway woods. The 904F builds on the same traditional look while offering updated technology and a more refined function. This has resulted in superb handling and playability.
If you're not a fan of long reviews, I'll let you stop reading now: the Titleist 904F is the best fairway wood Titleist has ever made and is perhaps the best available from any manufacturer. If you haven't tried a 904F, you're doing your game - and your scorecard - a disservice.

Campaign to keep Welsh Cavalry
Politicians and former soldiers join forces in a campaign against reported plans to abolish the Queen's Dragoon Guards
Politicians and former soldiers join forces in a campaign against reported plans to abolish the Queen's Dragoon Guards
Defence Ministers have refused to appear before Welsh MPs looking into the MOD's plans for the future of the Army. As we reported a couple of weeks ago, Welsh Affairs committee chair David Davies had said he wanted ministers to explain their thinking about plans for the Welsh Cavalry:
Given our concerns, we have decided to do a short inquiry into this. We've asked the Ministry of Defence to come and give evidence and explain how these decisions will be taken. I understand they don't wish to attend, which I find very disappointing.
However it nows seems the announcement itself will be made on Thursday, which might explain the ministers' reluctance to appear. It's also thought that the Welsh Cavalry will survive the cuts but it's strongly rumoured that a battalion of the Royal Welsh regiment could be lost instead.
The family told ITV News that a mother, daughter, son-in-law and niece from the same family all work for the Tesco call centre in Cardiff.
A monthly report which looks at the way the NHS in Wales is working has said that 'NHS Wales performance is stable, despite growing demand'.
The clouds have gathered bring an end to the hot and sunny conditions for the time being!

R.D. Burman
Rahul Dev Burman (popularly known as Pancham) was born in Calcutta, India to the renowned music director S.D. Burman. In his initial years, Rahul learned the basics of rhythm from tabla maestro Brajen Biswas and sarod from Ali Akbar Khan and later Ashish Khan. He entered the bollywood music industry as an assistant to his father with Pyaasa being the first official film.
Rahul's first break as an independent music director came through the film Raaz. Unfortunately, the film was dropped and the unused songs were used for Chote Nawab. In 1966, Rahul gave music for the film Teesri Manzil which became his first box office hit.
In early 1970's, Rahul's became the most preferred music directors of his era with hits for films like Kati patang, Amar prem, Buddha mil gaya, Caravan, and Hare Rama Hare Krishna. The song "Dum Maro Dum" from the film Hare Rama Hare Krishna became a hippy anthem of its times and was used in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories soundtrack in 2006. Rahul also sang at times with his grunt bass laden voice; most notable of these being "Mehbooba Mehbooba" from the film Sholay and "Duniya Mein" from Apna Desh.
R.D. Burman gave some of the biggest hits of 1970's and early 80's including films like Aandhi, Kinara, Khusboo, Parichay and Golmaal. However, his career took a dip by late 80's with the advent of the disco styled dance music. Most of his music failed to make any significant impression on his audience except that of Sagar and Ijaazat. 1942: A Love Story; released after his death; won him his third Filmfare Award. ~ Bhasker Gupta

Ken (musician)
|This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (June 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Also known as
|KEN P'UNK, Kën D'Ark, ken
|November 28, 1968
|Maibara, Shiga, Japan
|Associated acts
Ken (born November 28, 1968 in Maibara, Shiga, Japan) is a musician and singer-songwriter, best known as guitarist of the Japanese rock band L'Arc-en-Ciel. He is also the leader, vocalist and guitarist of Sons of All Pussys (also known as S.O.A.P.) and has released a solo album entitled In Physical. While in L'Arc-en-Ciel his name is stylized as ken.
Two months before his graduation in 1992, Ken left the Nagoya Institute of Technology, where he was an architect major, to join L'Arc-en-Ciel at the request of his childhood friend Tetsuya. He has written a breadth of L'Arc-en-Ciel's music ever since his joining, including "As if in a Dream", "Vivid Colors", "Niji", "The Fourth Avenue Cafe", "Shout at the Devil", "Kasou", "Lies and Truth", "Lover Boy", "My Heart Draws a Dream", "Lost Heaven", "Daybreak's Bell" and "Twinkle Twinkle".
Sons of All Pussys[edit]
In 2002 Ken formed his own band, Sons of All Pussys (S.O.A.P.), as a result of a break in L'Arc-en-Ciel's activities, with ex-L'Arc-en-Ciel member Yasunori "Sakura" Sakurazawa as drummer, and Ein as bassist (a half Japanese/German model who appeared in a few L'Arc PVs). Each member contributed songs based on themes; Ken with love, Ein with desire, and Sakura with his experiences in jail, and together they released three albums; Grace, Gimme A Guitar, High! and one single, "Paradise". All S.O.A.P. activities have ceased since 2004.
Solo career[edit]
On August 23, 2006, Ken released a solo single titled "Speed", and has taken a new "clean" appearance similar to his early days with L'Arc-en-Ciel. In 2008, he began releasing more singles, including "Deeper" and "S", leading up to the eventual release of his first solo album, In Physical, in 2009.
Ken is currently an endorser for Fernandes Guitars and is usually seen playing these guitars live with L'Arc-en-Ciel. However he tends to modify his models instead of using them stock. For instance, in the past he used to use Van Zandt pick-ups heavily in his own personal guitars and has since moved on to Kinman pick-ups (this change having now been reflected in one of his more recent Fernandes signature models).
However he has also used many different guitars in and out of L'Arc-en-Ciel, including Gibson, Fender, and Steinberger models.
In 2010, he endorsed the American-based guitar brand Fender, Ken (together with Inoran from Luna Sea) was approached by Fender and signed the endorsement contract; his signature model is a Stratocaster.[1]

A One-in-a-Million Breast Cancer Diagnosis
September 22, 2009 · No Comments
Cynthia Savage, 53, of Vacaville, had less than a 1 percent chance of getting breast cancer. She was fit, healthy and had no family history of the disease. Yet in 2005, she was diagnosed with one of the rarest forms of breast cancer—Paget's Disease of the Breast.
"My left nipple had been chapped, like dry skin, and I had no luck with moisturizers," Cynthia says. She showed the spot to her primary care physician, Dr. Shanaz Khambatta, of the NorthBay Center for Primary Care, expecting to get some help choosing a topical ointment. Instead, Dr. Khambatta referred her to a surgeon, on the slight chance that her skin irritation was Paget's Disease.
Doubtful, her surgeon sent a tissue sample to the lab for diagnosis. When the results came back positive, he sent it out a second time. Paget's Disease is so rare that Cynthia is the only case recorded by NorthBay Cancer Center Tumor Registrar Charlene Thompson.
"It was a shocking diagnosis for both me and my surgeon," Cynthia remembers.
"As he gave me the diagnosis, I kept thinking 'I'm a nurse, I need to pay close attention to these details.' But at the same time, as a woman it was so mind-numbing that I couldn't take it all in."
Paget's Disease causes skin changes around the nipple, usually appearing as a rash or, as in Cynthia's case, chapped skin. It usually signals that breast cancer will be found inside the breast. She had an ultrasound and then an MRI, and both were clean. Then her surgeon performed a lumpectomy, reaching deeper into her breast.
The results gave Cynthia a diagnosis—ductal carcinoma in situ of the left breast.
Cynthia had a second surgery to make sure all of the cancer was removed, followed by six weeks of radiation. Today, she is cancer- free, but still gets checkups every six months.
"Throughout this ordeal, my family and friends were so supportive," says Cynthia, an inpatient case management supervisor at NorthBay Medical Center. "I guess someone had to represent that 1 percent who got Paget's Disease, and I was the one."

22 Accessible Road Trips: Driving Vacations for Wheelers and Slow Walkers
by Candy B. Harrington
No current Talk conversations about this book.
After some time, he reported to me this was an excellent resource and one that helped him make travel decisions based on his need for a walker.
In order to judge the content and recommendations, it is possible to choose a trip area with which one is familiar, then make comparisons between the information provided and one's own knowledge of the area.
In doing just that with three trips in the Mountain States region, as well a couple of trips in the southern and northern part of the Central States region, the book stands up well to the goals and objectives the author set for herself.
While recognizing that this book could not possibly cover everything along the routes chosen, a possible recommendation: a bit more cultural information related to several of the regions would have enriched the overall trip possibilities. For example, to tour the national parks of southern Utah without even the slightest reference to the predominant Mormon culture throughout the region is a definite shortcoming. The trip through southern Idaho has similar shortcomings. There are cultural references attached to other trips, but that may be an issue that needs attention should the book be reissued at a later date.
Otherwise, the book offers interesting insights for travel in the United States and compiles a series of trips that could be as attractive to the more mobile population as they should be to the target audience, the "wheelers and slow walkers."

No descriptions found.
22 Accessible Road Trips contains useful and detailed information about accessible travel, that's readable, informative and pertinent. The book is aimed at those who use wheelchairs, walkers or just have mobility issues. Organized geographically, the book is divided into 22 chapters, with each chapter detailing a loop driving route that can be completed in approximately 2-3 weeks. The routes are spaced throughout the US, with each route having a theme or a commonality. Each route begins in a gateway city with a major airport, so the trips can also be completed as fly-drive packages.… (more)

This is a discussion on Sent this to NRA a few days ago . . . within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Originally Posted by rednichols Fire needs fuel, air, spark. This latest shooting had mental illness, gaming, gun. Connection made. My local Maccas (McDonalds) is featuring ...
It's trying to pass blame somewhere else. A cheap tactic to point at the other guy. The blame is on the shooter and the failure of those who are supposed to watch over and protect and guide them. In the most recent case the mother had told people the child was uncontrollable and she had considered putting him in a home because she couldn't handle him. Yet she left firearms in someplace where he could obtain them. No disrespect to the deceased, but a red flag should have popped up immediately and those firearms put out of his reach. Safes, storage at someone else's home...something. It's not the gun and not the media. It's personal responsibility.
What you're saying is the exact thing we are complaining about. Let me lay it out...
Guy thinks AR-15s are dangerout and semi-auto firearms can cause too much harm to people. So he wants to regulate them and you say "no, wait...I'm responsible so is this guy. We never did anything wrong. What gives?"
You don't like violent games, you think they make people go nuts. You want to regulate them. I stand up and say "no wait...I'm responsible and so is this guy. We never did anything wrong. What gives?"
In the case of guns we have background checks, waiting periods, some areas have permits to obtain and fingerprints to do, we train, practice and preach safety. There are tons of literature freely available etc. Age restrictionstoo. It's up to the parents to teach their kids the proper safety and respect and decide what is appropriate for them.
In the case of video games you have to be of a certain age to purchase it just like a firearm. There are rating systems, free literature explaining the content of each title etc. Again it's up to the parents to teach their kids and decide what is appropriate and to discern reality from the fantasy game world.
Same exact thing!

QKShooter to be fair, that isn't the type of game that brings out that emotions, it's the competitive aspect compounded by the fact that some people get their jollies off of your humiliating defeat. Kind of like trash talk on the football field or the kid who throws the board game when someone is beating him.
I play foosball semi-competitively and let me tell you, that gets crazy and we're all over 30 lol. Some people can't handle it, I got a laugh out of it though. I know people like this online.

Summer, berries and ice cream are synonymous. It is time to immerse in to this silky smooth and blushing ice cream with a hint of Amaretto. Nothing else speaks summer more than a freshly made berry ice cream.
Is it time for the backyard BBQs yet? With friends and food, pretty dresses, sweet smelling breeze, smoking grills and lazy swaying branches? Granitas are just perfect for such times! Crunchy, frosty, vibrant with juicy fresh fruits, it is as much of an adult's summer dream as that of a child.
Summer is quite incomplete without a crisp or a crumble. There is no better, easier or quicker way to savor these luscious gifts of fruits and berries that nature endows on us during this time of the year.

Research on Herceptin as maintenance medication?
- Question from marejo: Any trials done or research done into using Herceptin as a maintenance drug? I am 4 years out (HER2 positive, stage 2B) and often wonder why we couldn't use Herceptin as a bi-yearly or yearly maintenance protector.
- Answers - Nicholas Robert, M.D. The issue about how long to give Herceptin (chemical name: trastuzumab) in the adjuvant setting remains unclear. The standard now is to give Herceptin for 1 year. Interestingly, there is a small study where Herceptin was given for only a few weeks, and there was a benefit. There is a much larger study evaluating 1 year of Herceptin vs. 2 years. The results of that study are still pending. There has also been the strategy of using another drug that interferes with HER2, the target for Herceptin. This is an oral drug called Tykerb (chemical name: lapatinib) and there has been a study completed where this drug was given to patients after completing their standard treatment. This was given to some patients 2-3 years after their diagnosis. We will see from this study whether there is any benefit from this approach. There is a new study using another HER2-targeted drug which will be given to women with early breast cancer who have been treated with Herceptin, and they will be given this new drug. We will be able to see if there is any benefit to giving additional treatment to patients who had HER2-positive tumors. So right now, the standard is 1 year of Herceptin but you should know that people are looking at other approaches to see if we can improve the outcome for patients who have been diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Updates From the 2009 ASCO Annual Meeting featured Nick Robert, M.D. and Beth Baughman Dupree, M.D., F.A.C.S. answering your questions about the newest findings on risk, screening, treatment, and more.

Lubna Al Qasimi participates in "Investment in Iraq's Kurdistan" forum
UAE Minister of Foreign Trade Sheikha Lubna Bint Khalid Al Qasimi recently participated in the "Investment in Iraq's Kurdistan" forum held at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi. She was joined by Kurdish Prime Minster Dr. Barham Salih and a number of businessmen and investors from the UAE and Iraq.
In her speech, she welcomed the Kurdish economic delegation and underlined the deep brotherly relationship between the UAE and Iraq. She pointed out the mutual support provided by their countries in order to uplift trade and economic ties. She also referred to the appointment of the UAE ambassador in Baghdad, which she said affirmed the UAE's commitment to strengthening ties with Iraq at all levels, especially in terms of security and the economy.
Sheikha Lubna also pointed out the significant growth in trade between the UAE and Iraq over the past few years, saying that bilateral exchange increased by 28 per cent between 2006 and 2008 to reach more than USD 3 billion. This, she underscored, proved the effectiveness of government and private sector efforts to enhance trade and economic ties between the two countries. Her Excellency also discussed the significant increase in non-oil exports to the Iraqi market, which rose more than 89 per cent over 2007 to hit USD 358 million in 2008. She added that re-exports from the UAE to Iraq fell 5.7 per cent but still amounted to a high USD 2.6 billion, despite the global downturn.
The UAE Minister emphasized the need to further enhance exchange and maximize investment prospects as well as leverage incentives such as geographic location, historic bonds and growing economic activities, even if both nations already enjoy excellent bilateral trade channels. She pointed out the importance of efficiently providing key facilities in areas such as taxes and customs to companies from both sides.
She further referred to the advantages enjoyed by UAE companies that adopt a culture of world-class quality, reliability, transparency and commitment to swift project implementation, in line with highest international standards. She confirmed that the Emirates is currently directing investments towards Kurdistan, as UAE companies are highly capable of exploring promising investment opportunities and maintaining competitiveness in the regional and international markets. Moreover, she said that Iraq is one of the most important Arab destinations for UAE investments in the near future, as part of the Emirates' reform plans and agenda of greater economic openness.
Sheikha Lubna commended the economic reforms and expanding openness being witnessed in Kurdistan and throughout Iraq despite numerous challenges and encouraged the continuity of this trend. She explained that this would be in line with international economic efforts to motivate investors and businessmen to sustain their search for opportunities and develop mutual cooperation.
The Trade Minister concluded by underlining the importance of the forum in facilitating the sharing of experiences and best practices, especially from the prominent businessmen and investors attending from both countries. She expressed her hope in seeing more similar initiatives aimed at highlighting the best mechanisms and tools needed to reinforce mutual cooperation at all levels.
For his part, Dr. Salih also commended efforts from the UAE to support Iraq's investment environment, calling out for more mutual cooperation in exploring promising sectors such as oil, gas, agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, hospitality, banking, financial services, infrastructure, and construction.

Even auctioneers at Sotheby's gasped when the owner of Bhs and Arcadia made his record bid for the shirt, said to have been worn by England's Ben Kay.
But as Green was presented with his purchase - mounted in a glass case and in pristine condition - Kay denied the shirt was his.
The England lock said he wore two shirts during the game, both of which were ripped and dirty. He kept one and gave the other to his opposite number.
He said: 'It's fantastic that an England shirt has raised that. I would like to thank Philip Green for his generosity, but it's not my shirt.'
Green, who bought the shirt at an auction at the Natural History Museum for the Rainbow Trust, at which more than £2m was raised, said: 'For me who it is from was not relevant. I was bidding for an England shirt from the final signed by the players - it's something special.'

BMW 6 conv. warning lights
I bought a new BMW 6 Convertible 2011 in THAILAND on the grey market (NOT from Official BMW dealer).
From the first day when I started the car 4 warning lights were burning.
---Restraint system
---Pedestrian protection system
---Steering drive moderately
---Parking brake only partially available
The power steering works half and several other things don't work also. (Like cameras, soft top roof etc.)
After a few minutes, now much longer until 4 hours, the lights disappear and the car drives perfect.
I don't have it every day but it seems that with rainy days the problem is worse.
Now about 9 month later, and several checks at a high class garage (BMW dealers don't service cars bought from grey market), the problem still exist.
Anybody have an idea, it makes me crazy?
Thanks, hope you can help me.
By the way, is there an official BMW forum (from the factory) where I can ask my question?
Fred Majoor
Holy cow, in Thailand the dealer will not service a car sold from a non-BMW-dealer?? :yikes: Crazy! I love how they call it "grey-market", as if it's only semi-legal to privately sell a BMW to another individual. I can't imagine how BMW would not honor a warranty on such a new car. Are there no laws protecting you there when it comes to warranties?
1) For the seatbelt error I would check your connections under the seat. Water may have caused corrosion in the connections or maybe someone removed the seat and did not properly re-connect the plugs. Here are instructions on removing the seat that shows the plug. Move the seat all the back to see the connection. You may also have an issue with the switch in the seat belt buckle receiver - where you plug in the "male" end of the belt when buckling up.
2) No idea what the pedestrian protection system is. I guess you have backup cameras from the factory? We don't get these in North America.
3) I would guess the steering error is related to low power steering fluid. Have that checked (or do it yourself). The reservoir is on the right hand side of the engine bay when standing in front of the car with the hood open. If the fluid level is OK then it could be the steering angle sensor (located in the steering column), the power steering pump, belts, a sensor or a problem with the steering rack.
4) Is that an error you are getting on the dash about the parking brake? Or are you having problems applying the brake so it holds the car when on an incline? If the brake is not engaging properly the cable can be adjusted (at the lever inside the car). The parking brake also uses a separate set of brake shoes located inside the rear disc brake rotors. Those might be worn if the parking brake cable cannot be adjusted to hold the car.
Most of your problems seem electrical-related due to the high temps and humidity in Thailand. Hard to believe you could have so many problems on a 2011 though. Maybe the car was flooded?
Thank you Yorgi!
Thanks Yorgi for your fast and professional advice.
One thing I don't understand is that after a few (5 to 15 minutes) driving suddenly all the lights are going out in 1 time. Looks like 1 big problem in stead of 4 smaller problems.
After a few minutes when the lights are out, all the systems work properly.
That's what surprises me.
By the way, the normal price for my "6" in the showroom is 400.000 US$.
Grey market price (new car from UK), less than 300.000 US$.
There because!
That sounds promising. I am now almost certain you have a power issue.
It is most likely a bad battery. When multiple errors occur at once it's a very good indicator of a weak battery or an alternator issue. The alternator is probably OK, it seems like it charges the weak battery after you've driven the car for a while clearing the power related issues. When you let the car rest the weak battery drains and problems return.
I would have the battery tested for starters. If it's OK then have the alternator checked.
If both are OK I would still change the battery to be safe - it's cheap insurance.
If a new battery does not help have the IVM checked. This is a module that controls power distribution to the car and will cause errors like you are having but it is the more expensive and rare to fail part compared to the battery and alternator.
Great help
Thank's Gorky,
I have sent your comments already to the Grey Market Dealer in Bangkok. THE GALLERY BY UNITY. See website.
Miss my car, now already 3 weeks in the garage.
They ordered some parts from Germany but in my opinion your advice is the best.
I remember they gave me a new battery when I bought the car. The car was unsold for about 1 year. With changing the battery maybe they made a mistake or they did not change the battery at all. (SURE!!!!!)
Hope helps!
When you come to Thailand I buy you a "Heineken", haha.
Fred (from Holland).
SORRY, very early here, YORGI
:) Fred
Yorgi is on point with his diagnosis. It seesm you do have a power issue. Sine you say they may have replaced the battery, then that could be true but they may not have "Registered"the battery properly to the car. Based on what you mentioned regarding the lights going off after a few minutes after driving, I sense that the alternator brought the charge to a level to erase the lights. Do as Yorgi mention by checking the alternator and the battery then check to make sure they did a proper battery registration. :thumbup:. Still cannot get over the cost of these cars in your country. That is crazy.
Thank you Pablo
Greetings from sunny Phuket, Thailand.
34C here.
Thanks for your comments, will inform the dealer. Never heard from battery registration.
Let you know the results!
Beautiful car!
BMW 650 cost a fortune here. 340% tax.
640i is the maximum I can afford. Have also a new BMW5 for my wife.
For the rest is Thailand very cheap compared to US or Europe.
Wonderful life, friendly people, great food, international healthcare.
Fred Majoor
I would start with the battery, & then start looking at the alternator. When installing the new battery, run a 12 hour charge cycle to make sure the battery is fully charged. Then run the registration with a battery charger connected. This will keep the battery fully charged while running any diagnostics.
Being in Thailand, it might be in your best interest to learn how to work on the car. The BMW software is very easy to find, but sometimes hard to install on a PC. If you are handy with the tools, the software will save you tons of money. Checkout the link below for more!
Good Luck!
Still not ready
Dear all,
Thanks again for your advice, I sent it directly to my dealer in Bangkok. I live in Phuket, about 900 km from Bangkok.
The communication with the dealer (grey market) is not great.
What I understand, (translation from my Thai wife!) is that they put a new battery in the car, also registered the new battery. (What they did not do the first time, I presume).
Still the same problem. Now they ordered already 14 days ago an IVM from Germany.
Hope helps. I miss my car!
Fred Majoor
Dear all,
After 6 weeks in the garage in Bangkok I have my BMW 6 Conv. back.
The problem was a shortcut in my ECU. Christmas and New Year holidays did not help also.
Thanks for your help anyway, car drives perfect!
Fred Majoor
Good to hear they figured it out, ECU problems are rare and difficult to diagnose. Hopefully you can enjoy the car now.

Thanks Yorgi, I will. It is the only one on the island so everybody looks and enjoys.
340% tax? Wow. Almost same for my home country Vietnam, I got a Toyota Camry, bought it brand new at almost same price with brand new 6 series here. People even have to pay an add on tax called luxury car tax for car has MSRP price over $80,000. Like an extra $20,000 tax on top of the 300%
I have a friend in Singapore that spent about $80k US for an 2007 528i with no nav! :tsk:
A new 5 series will run you about $150K there. He saw my car and found out what I paid and he was sick. : puke:
Convertible roof BMW 6, 2011
Convertible roof BMW 6 don't work. Dashboard says "problem power window" One of the small windows does not close proper.
Somebody have a great tip? Grey market dealer test and test, but no results yet.
Fred Majoor
"With the window up all the way, hold the button down while lowering the window and continue holding it down for 5 seconds after the window hits bottom. Immediately raise the window by holding the button up all the way for 5 seconds after the window hits the top... "
window/roof BMW 6, 2011
Told my garage in Bangkok and hope they will try and reset properly.
Thanks for speedy reply. Let you know the results.
Anybody knows about a recall because overheating? Water pump change?
Bottom line, we are very lucky to probably have the lowest MSRP for cars in the U.S.
I'd take a brand new 6-Series in the States over whatever they're paying for brand new lower-end models in (insert country name here).
From what I know, I do not know anything about a recall on the F12/F13.
window/roof BMW 6 Conv
Bangkok tried to reset. No result. They are busy now for 1 week and can't find the problem.
They asked factory now for help.
Their diagnose computer says "no problem at all"!
Wait and see. Until now not lucky.
Have also a BMW 5 2011, no problems at all!!!!

There are no customer reviews yet. Be the first to write a review!
John Smolens's matter-of-fact narrative style pairs ideally with this gritty yarn about a convict who, after fleeing a work detail in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, sets off through a snowstorm to reclaim the life he'd enjoyed before his duplicitous family sent him to prison. Here's an example of Smolens's style from early on in Cold, when escapee Norman Haas is involved in a trucking accident. Rather than save the trapped driver from his rig's explosion, Norman steals a van from a stranger who has stopped to help them both. "As he pushed in the clutch and shifted into first gear," Smolens writes,
he realized there was a familiar smell in the warm van. The ashtray was full of rolls of Certs; he picked up one and began peeling back the paper. In the rearview mirror he could see the burning truck. The flames now rose high above the cab, and thick black smoke blew into the trees alongside the road. Norman put a Certs in his mouth. The taste reminded him of inside, where he'd sucked on Certs all day long. Wintergreen.
In the frozen reaches of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, fierce winter storms can hit without notice. In the white opacity of one such blizzard, Norman Haas simply walks away from his prison work detail without detection.After agonizing days of blistering cold, Norman finds himself at the farmhouse of a lonely middle-aged woman who gives him temporary shelter while keeping him at a comfortable distance with her late husband's shotgun. When she tries to turn him in, he escapes again. Thus begins a riveting story of Norman's journey back to his past, back to the woman he loved who betrayed him, back to the brother who helped put him away, and back to a dangerous web of family allegiances, deceptions, and intrigue.On Norman's trail is Del Maki, the hard-working sheriff of Yellow Dog Township, a fork in the road on the way to Canada. Cold takes us deep into an intricate, fascinating tale, where love, greed, and the promise of a last chance compel six people toward a chilling and inevitable reckoning.

Improvised Shakespeare Company to Riff on the Bard
Posted by Cassie Hall '13, Brookings, SD on Friday, Nov. 2, 2012
Event Date/Time: Friday, Nov. 16, 2012 7:30 pm
Location: Edson Auditorium
The Improvised Shakespeare Company (ISC) will perform on Friday, November 16, at 7:30 p.m. in the Student Center's Edson Auditorium. This is the third event in the University of Minnesota, Morris's 2012-13 Performing Arts Series. Hailed as "one of the funniest, most amazing things I've ever seen" by the Charleston City Paper Online, ISC promises an evening of off-the-cuff comedy that should not be missed.
Inspired by audience suggestions, ISC spontaneously crafts its plays using the language and themes of William Shakespeare's plays. Any given performance could feature a mixture of doomed lovers, political power struggles, disguises, asides, and sword-fights: all that audiences have come to expect from the Great Bard. Nothing is planned, rehearsed, or written, so each of the plays is entirely new.
Prior to its evening performance, ISC will hold an improv workshop from 3:30 until 5 p.m. in Humanities Fine Arts 125. This workshop is free and open to the public.
Founded in 2005, ISC has been performing its critically-acclaimed show every Friday night for over six years at the world famous iO Theater in Chicago, and it continues to entertain audiences around the globe with its touring company. The company has been featured at a number of festivals, including the prestigious Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal and Chicago. It has been named Chicago's best improv group by both the Chicago Reader and the Chicago Examiner and has received a New York Nightlife Award for "Best Comedic Performance by a Group." ISC was recently honored by the Chicago Improv Foundation as its "Ensemble of the Year."
Further information regarding ticket sales and the Performing Arts Series is available online or by calling 320-589-6077. Single-event and season tickets for are available for purchase online, by phone and mail, or in person at the Office of Student Activities, Conferences, and Special Events.

Welcome to GEFRI
Do LBO funds create value for investors
Over the last twenty-years the number of private equity funds concentrating on leveraged buyouts (LBO) has increased dramatically. These funds focus on buying companies with moderate price earnings ratios and stable cash flows. Such buyouts are typically financed with 75 to 80 percent debt. After the firms are acquired they are reorganized and/or liquidated. The LBO fund managers typically receive significant management fees and profit participations. This paper focuses on a comparison of the realized returns generated by LBO fund investors as compared to those that could have been achieved by buying shares in a portfolio of similar companies and financing such portfolios with 75 percent debt (i.e. "synthetic LBO funds). The study will shed important insights into the question of whether LBO fund managers in general create added value for their investors. It will also assess whether certain LBO funds tend to significantly out perform other LBO funds. Finally the study will assess alternative strategies for the optimal selection of securities for inclusion in "synthetic LBO funds".
We have to date identified and obtained access to data sources for undertaking the study. In addition programs have been completed to allow the identification of companies that meet typical SIC code, price earnings ratio, and cash flow stability criteria for LBO's. These programs have been implemented with the identification of potential LBO companies yearly over the 1985 to 2005 period. Current efforts focus on developing the programs for estimating the returns on various LBO funds.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- General Information (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-information/)
- - Give me some witty comebacks for those "bigger is better" GSD people. (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-information/425010-give-me-some-witty-comebacks-those-bigger-better-gsd-people.html)
Give me some witty comebacks for those "bigger is better" GSD people.
I'm not sure why this type of stuff still bothers me, but it does, so I need to be able to deal with it better. I was at Home Depot yesterday with the male GSD I'm adopting, and one of the HD workers says to me "my 7 month old is as big as your dog." My dog, Ozi (soon to be KamiKAZE), looks to be at the max end of the standard. I haven't weighed or measured him yet, but he's a big boy. He is slightly underweight, which I will work on once he's mine. I don't believe that he's oversized. I just don't understand why people feel they need to start out a conversation, or a compliment if you can call it that, with the whole bigger is better mindset. So his dog, at 7 months, will obviously be larger than Ozi, who is 2 years old and should be fully grown already. So was he bragging that his dog is/will be bigger? How is that complimenting my dog. It's not like it was done in a way that the worker was saying "my dog is oversized and outside of the breed standard, whereas your Ozi is perfectly within standard and a better representation of the breed!" Haha.
I would never pass comment on someone else's dog that their dog is "so small" (insulting) or "WOW, YOUR DOG IS SOOOO HUGE" (an unnecessary potential ego booster). I would find a way to comment/compliment without the possibility of coming across in a negative way, or I just wouldn't say anything at all. I'm not witty with on-the-spot comebacks, and I wouldn't want to comeback with anything negative. I guess I'm just looking for a neutralizer. With this guy, I looked at him and said "oh yeah?!?" and walked away unimpressed. But the comment kept weighing heavy on my mind, as I couldn't figure out if he was complimenting Ozi, thinking he's also another HUGE GSD, or if he was insulting me. I think it's not the size comment itself, but the fact that I can't figure out if I should be happy or upset over what was said. I just don't get these people.
What would you have said if you were in my shoes? Again, I'm not looking for insults. Just something to make the guy back off and understand that bigger isn't better when it comes to dogs, especially our GSDs. They are supposed to be within standard for a reason, and good, solid breeding should help to preserve the working ability of these magnificent dogs!
It all depends how much into a conversation you want to get, and likely with an individual who won't listen. My boy happens to be quite large - larger than most gsds - and I still get the 'my uncles friends sister had one that was 150lbs and was way bigger than your dog'. Whatever, Eli is 95lbs, huge and there aren't that many out there that are truly bigger than him. It's not worth the argument most of the time.
If I have the time and desire to try to talk someone through why bigger is not better I give this image "try to imagine a police officer carrying a 95lb german shepherd on their shoulders". The dogs are meant to be versatile, and small enough to travel with in rough situations. Smaller dogs are quicker and more agile, and easier to handle. Kind of like MMA fighting versus sumo wrestling.
But usually, it is not worth my time to get into it.
For the record my boy is big but we didn't plan for that. Both his parents are standard size, he just kept growing :)
Eh, water off a duck's back, just let it roll.
My old guy, Banjo, was MASSIVE. Tall and long with a chest that was equally impressive. He wasn't nimble, not to say he wasn't blindingly fast in some respects, but the smaller framed GSDs of friends could make him look silly when playing. He had a nice topgear, but needed some real distance to catch back up to the better proportioned dogs.
My female now, Allie, is on the small end of the scale. Just nudging 50 pounds, great leg length and overall structure. She has some serious leg muscles too. She can cut and run so easy, she makes daredevil moves look like she's gliding on skates. She regularly makes my bigger male, Cable, look like an idiot when they play. Cable is stout, compact and heavily muscled. He's in the lmid 60s weight wise, sorta stubby legs with a big beefy thick chest. He's easily twice as powerful and Allie still makes him look like he has 4 left legs.
Going from my old freakish mutant gazelle with canines to these more svelte dogs has made me appreciate the idea that the smaller ones are the sports cars of the breed. They move more easily, with more grace and can do some pretty cool acrobatics when the mood strikes.
How about, "Yeah, Kaze really is the perfect size for a standard GSD. Thanks." Then just walk away.
The most hilarious question I received was " why she ain't big?". My husband and I had to resist laughing in the kid's face.
I would have said.." wow , really? have you considered a diet"?
Haha I get a lot of comments, especially from the nice grandpa sort of guys who admire him and say "wow he's going to be big! I had a GSD that was 120lbs!" I try to be nice, but I always try to tell people that even though he's bigger than standard, I try and keep him lean because it's better for him. He gets a lot of compliments about how lean and fit he is too, which i'd rather hear than "he's thin!" which we get pretty often too.
If someone says your dog is too small, I'd just say "actually he's standard height and weight! They aren't supposed to be that big!" And keep walking. :)

-----" But the comment kept weighing heavy on my mind, as I couldn't figure out if he was complimenting Ozi, thinking he's also another HUGE GSD, or if he was insulting me. I think it's not the size comment itself, but the fact that I can't figure out if I should be happy or upset over what was said. I just don't get these people."--------
He is telling you about his own fears and insecurity far more than he is telling you anything about Ozi. He's telling you that he has a compulsive NEED to be "better" than anyone else because he feels inferior. So, he gets a big dog because that is the only basis of comparison he knows. And, if there is anyone else should happen to not know that he has the biggest dog---he will be the first to point it out so that everyone in the vicinity will know what a wonderful person he is because he has a big dog.
Actually, the whole exchange has nothing to do with you or with Ozi. The guy is just fishing for attention and verbal props for his own ego from you.
No matter WHAT you say, you are not going to change what is going on in his head, so insults and arguments are useless. Just recognize that it has nothing at all to do with you or Ozi.
Come backs that I used to use to end such self serving conversations:
"Yup, sounds like you have a really big dog alright, I'm glad you are paying his food bills and not me."
"Yeah, Ozi isn't turning out to be as big as I thought. So, I decided to work on training with him and go for smarter instead of bigger. So far, it is working out pretty well."
If all else fails, there is always the old reliable, "How high can he jump?"
I'm always more curious as to where they got their GSD and would just respond by asking them this. Sometimes a conversation might open up an opportunity to politely enlighten them. No matter, it's not a worth getting worked up over.
No response is best. By responding you are just giving them satisfaction, feeding into their rudeness.
We have an oversized female, 90lbs, we had rude comments about that and other things. Some people just need to feel superior, just ignore them.

Chelsea are optimistic that Ashley Cole is winning his battle to recover from a rib injury in time to face title rivals Manchester City on Sunday.
Cole has been sidelined since he aggravated the problem during the League game against Norwich earlier this month.
The 32-year-old returned to training earlier this week, but he did not travel to Germany for Chelsea's Champions League game at Schalke so that he could concentrate on his rehabilitation.
Manager Jose Mourinho has picked Ryan Bertrand and Cesar Azpilicueta in Chelsea's last two matches, but hopes Cole will be ready to line up against City.

The 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games are expected to draw 11m visitors from around the world to the UK's capital for seven weeks, and 3m extra car journeys are anticipated on the busiest day.
The team of researchers [from the University of Leicester] will use their CityScan technology, which gathers scattered sunlight to scan whole cities and take readings of air quality, to investigate the impact of this extra traffic on pollution.
Rather than existing technology, which can only give an accurate reading for certain "hotspots," CityScan can show the air quality over every point of the city - including individual roads, playgrounds and other buildings.
It will also reveal the days and times when pollution levels are at their highest.

This fall, the University of Florida department of urban and regional planning in the College of Design, Construction and Planning will launch a new online master's degree in urban and regional planning with specializations in Geographic Information Systems, or GIS, and sustainability.
An online advanced certificate program offered by Long Island University (LIU) for mobile and Web GIS is up and running.
The one-year 12-credit Advanced Certificate in Mobile GIS Applications Development, approved by the New York State Education Department, trains students to create mobile applications for iOS and Android devices. Each class is offered online during a 10-week term, with classes limited to 20 students to ensure frequent and personal interaction among faculty and students. The two required courses are Introduction to GIS and Introduction to Computer Programming. Students learn the key concepts, technologies and skills at the intersection of these growing fields that they will later use to develop geospatial apps. Students complete the program by taking two of three elective courses, Mobile GIS Applications Development for iOS, Mobile GIS Applications Development for Android, and Geographic Web Application Development. In these courses, students will use iOS and Android software development kits to create their own apps.

W-2 Form FAQs
W-2 Form Best Practices
1099 Form FAQs
1099 Form Best Practices
1095 (Affordable Care Act) Reporting
Federal & State Filing Deadlines
If an error is discovered on a return that has been filed with the Internal Revenue Service, it must be corrected as soon as possible by filing Copy A and Form 1096 with the Internal Revenue Service Center for your area. Follow the detailed instructions provided by the Internal Revenue Service to correct errors. Do not cut or separate Copies A of the 1099 forms that are printed two or three to a page. Submit the entire page even if only one of the forms on the page is completed. Do not submit corrected returns to the Internal Revenue Service if you are only correcting state or local information. Contact the state or local tax department for help with this type of correction. Corrected statements must also be provided to all recipients.
The 250 electronic filing threshold is based on the calendar year, not each reporting submission. For example, if an error is discovered and 200 Forms 1099-DIV must be corrected, these filings can be filed either electronically or on paper. If, at a later date, additional errors are discovered and another 150 Forms 1099-DIV must be corrected for the same calendar year, 50 forms from the second batch could be filed on paper; however, the remaining 100 forms must be filed electronically. Any additional 1099-DIV corrections for that particular calendar year would also be required to be filed electronically.
For 1099 forms, the 250 e-file requirement is based on form type. For example, if you have 200 Forms 1099-DIV to be corrected and 200 Forms 1099-INT to be corrected, neither type of form is required to be filed electronically since the number to be corrected is below the 250 e-file threshold for each form type.
Corrections do not have to be filed in the same manner that the originals were filed; however, any filer with 250 or more 1099 form corrections per form type during a calendar year must file them electronically.
You may request an automatic 30-day filing extension by completing Form 8809, Application for Extension of Time to File Information Returns, and sending it to the address listed on the form. You must file Form 8809 by the due date of the return in order to be granted the extension.
You may request a second 30-day extension by filing another Form 8809 before the end of the first extension period. However, this extension request is subject to review and will not automatically be granted. The Internal Revenue Service will review the request and notify you of its acceptance or denial with a written letter of explanation.
These extensions will only extend the due date for filing returns; you must still provide the 1099 forms to the recipients by the due date. You may request a 30-day extension to furnish the statements to recipients by sending a letter on or before the due date to:
Enterprise Computing Center - Martinsburg
Information Reporting Program
Attn: Extension of Time Coordinator
240 Murall Drive
Kearneysville, WV 25430
Your letter must include:
Yes, Copy A of Forms 1099 and Form 1096 must be filed on preprinted red drop out ink forms when filing on paper. All other copies of 1099 forms can be printed in black ink.
There should be no horizontal perforations separating the Copy A forms on each page. However, 1099 forms must be 8" wide. If the 1099 forms are perforated vertically at 8", the perforated tab must be removed when filing Copy A with the Internal Revenue Service. If you use continuous red drop out ink forms, separate into 11" height pages and remove pin feed strips before filing with the Internal Revenue Service.
Perforations are required between the forms on all other copies of Forms 1099.
A Form 1099 is used to report a number of different types of information, including taxable income to the Internal Revenue Service. Depending on the type of information being reported, there is a specific 1099 form (e.g. 1099-MISC, 1099-R, etc.) that is required.
Any person or entity who files a Form 1099 on paper must also include Form 1096, which is used to transmit paper 1099 forms to the Internal Revenue Service. A separate 1096 should be used for each type of 1099 form being submitted.
Complete the Form 1096 following the instructions provided by the Internal Revenue Service. Boxes 3, 4 and 5 on Form 1096 should contain the totals from the 1099 forms that are being submitted with it.
Group the 1099 forms by form number and transmit each group with its own Form 1096. For example, if you must file both 1099-DIV and 1099-INT forms, complete one Form 1096 to transmit your 1099-DIV form(s) and another Form 1096 to transmit your 1099-INT form(s). Submit Form 1096 with Copy A of Form(s) 1099 to the Internal Revenue Service.
Reminder: do not staple, paper clip, or tape the forms together as it will interfere with machine reading.
If filing on paper, Form 1096 should be enclosed with Copy A of 1099 forms and sent to one of the following addresses:
February 28, 2011 - Send Copy A of Form W-2 with Form W-3 to the Social Security Administration:
Mail to:
Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service Center
Austin, TX 73301
Mail to:
Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service Center
Kansas City, MO 64999
January 31, 2012 - Generally you must furnish the appropriate copies to each recipient. The due date is extended for Form 1099-MISC to February 15, 2011 if substitute payments are reported in box 8 or gross proceeds paid to an attorney are reported in box 14.
February 28, 2011 - Send Copy A of Forms 1099 with Form 1096 to the Internal Revenue Service.
If you file electronically, the deadline for filing Copy A of Forms 1099 is April 2, 2012.
If I found additional 1099 forms that need filing, do I need a new Form 1096?
If, after you file Forms 1099, you discover additional forms that need to be filed, you must file these forms with a new Form 1096. Do not include copies or information from previously filed returns.
Form 1099-DIV is used to report distributions, such as dividends, capital gain distributions, or nontaxable distributions, that were paid on stock and liquidation distributions. A 1099-DIV must be filed by any individual or entity that has:
Complete the information on Form 1099-DIV following the detailed instructions provided by the Internal Revenue Service. Create and distribute the following copies:

Form 1099-MISC is also used to report direct sales of at least $5,000 of consumer products to a buyer for resale anywhere other than a permanent retail establishment. Lastly, Form 1099-MISC must also be filed for each individual from whom federal income tax has been withheld under backup withholding rules.
Complete the information on Form 1099-MISC following the detailed instructions provided by the Internal Revenue Service. Create and distribute the following copies:
Form 1099-R is used to report distributions from retirement or profit-sharing plans, any IRA, insurance contracts, and IRA re-characterizations. A 1099-R must be filed by any individual or entity that has:

Complete the information on Form 1099-R following the detailed instructions provided by the Internal Revenue Service. Create and distribute the following copies:
Form 1099-S is used to report gross proceeds from the sale and exchange of real estate and certain royalty payments.
Generally, Form 1099-S must be filed by the person responsible for closing the real estate transaction. If no one is responsible for closing the transaction following the detailed instructions provided by the Internal Revenue Service, the person responsible for filing is, in the following order: a) the mortgage lender, b) the transferor's broker, c) the transferee's broker, or d) the transferee.
Transactions that are required to be reported consist in whole or in part of the sale or exchange for money, indebtedness, property, or services of any present or future ownership interest in any of the following:
Complete the information on Form 1099-S following the detailed instructions provided by the Internal Revenue Service. Create and distribute the following copies:
Yes. In fact, the Internal Revenue Service encourages e-filing as the preferred method of filing all 1099s.
No. The payer is responsible for reporting the information and for the accuracy of the data, so no signature is required from the payee.
Yes. The Internal Revenue Service uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) communications protocol and 128-bit encryption to ensure data is transmitted securely over the Internet. This is a highly secure standard and is used by government agencies, software developers, and financial institutions.
Most software companies work with the Internal Revenue Service to offer a 1099 e-filing option. Refer to your software package for the specific steps to e-file.
Depending on the application used, you should retrieve submission statuses either from your software provider or directly from the Internal Revenue Service throughout the filing process. The receipt of your submission will likely be acknowledged with statuses such as "Good", "Bad", or "Not yet processed".
The Internal Revenue Service does not publish all of the situations that will cause a filing to be rejected. However, some common reasons for rejections are:
If you receive a notification indicating that your submission was rejected, you must fix any errors in the form and resubmit the data in the same manner as the original submission. You have 60 days from the date the file was first transmitted to file an acceptable file.
If filing electronically would create an undue hardship, the Internal Revenue Service may waive the electronic filing requirement if you can show cause. To request a waiver, you must apply 45 days before the due date of the return using Internal Revenue Service Form 8508--Request for Waiver from Filing Information Returns Electronically. The waiver, if approved, will provide exemption from the electronic filing rule for the current tax year only. You may not apply for a waiver for more than one tax year at a time.
If you fail to file a correct 1099 by the due date, and cannot show reasonable cause, you may be subject to a penalty. Penalties apply for:
The amount of the penalty is based on when the correct 1099 is filed:
If filing on paper, use prior year 1099 forms to report a prior year's information following the detailed instructions provided by the Internal Revenue Service. For example, file 2010 1099-MISC information on a 2010 1099-MISC form. Note: You must file the prior year 1096 that matches the year of the 1099 forms being filed.
If filing prior year information electronically, follow your software provider's instructions for filing prior year information.
Advantages of electronic filing:
Advantages of paper filing:
For 1099 forms, the 250 e-file requirement is based on form type. For example, if you must file 200 Forms 1099-DIV and 300 Forms 1099-INT, Forms 1099-DIV do not need to be filed electronically since they do not meet the threshold of 250. However, Forms 1099-INT must be filed electronically since they do meet the 250 threshold.

By Cate-291547
This Lent I would finally like to follow the pope's suggestion that we fast from our dependence on technology. I am taking a 40-day fast from a particular social networking site, which I suspect I've become slightly addicted to.
I knew I was spending a lot of time on the site, but I realized the issues went deeper than time wasting. I became uncomfortable when my friends and I would collectively trash a musician, mock some fallen celebrity or engage in negative political discourses.
In the words of one of my favorite Jesuits, Rev. James Martin, I feel I've become one of the people who forgot "Jesus' words in our digital age, when snarky blogs, terrible texting, snotty Facebook posts and mean-spirited Tweets zip around the Web and cause serious harm."
This perfectly encapsulates the discomfort I felt. I tended to think of celebrity-trashing as a victimless crime, because obviously famous people aren't reading my posts. But it's a matter of being charitable and empathic in speech, no matter who is being discussed.
My quasi-addiction to social networking also revealed another issue: It served as a painful reminder that I had time to waste because I had no spouse or children to attend to. In a sense, I felt stuck in a second adolescence, having time to hang out online with no responsibilities.
But I'd often had a distant, nagging feeling that I should be doing something more useful. Of course, that feeling usually faded the minute a friend logged on to chat or posted a video clip that interested me. And while the teenager within me was satisfied, the adult remained unproductive…and unmarried.
Knowing that the Lenten season is a threefold attempt to remind us of Christian ethics, I also plan on adding to my prayer life and to works of charity. So I'm going back to the practice of Centering Prayer.
My work schedule doesn't allow me to attend the weekly meetings – and I'm lucky to live near the parish where Centering Prayer began – but I will try praying on my own for Lent.
Finally, I plan on visiting Potter's Field, a cemetery for homeless New Yorkers. I'm going with a non-denominational charity who goes bi-monthly to pray before the unmarked graves for all the souls of the forgotten.
Reflection question: In what way have you extended adolescence?

We've got two things to say: 1) in the future, you might read this on a device called a "computer," and 2) the future is today!
You may have notieced that we launched Computers.Woot, the eleventh tentacle of the retail octopus known as Woot.com! (It's an octopus that's been genetically modified a few times.)
That means all your laptops, desktops, tablets, and that stuff will be over there! Meanwhile, here at formerly Tech.Woot, now Electronics.Woot, we'll be slinging all the non-computer technology you can handle. We're talking TVs, home theater accessories, and assorted gadgetry.
So get psyched to buy some stuff we've been selling all along! Just organized a little better than before!

I broke my nose recently and had nose manipulation surgery. It has now been 4 months since the operation, and although my nose does appear to be very straight, there now seems to be a bump on the right and left side of the bridge of my nose which makes my nose look thicker and kind of square at the top in certain lights and mirrors.
I have read that our bones develop callous to 'fix' the bone together, and then the bone remodels itself to its original shape over time. Is this true for nasal bones? I also read on other websites that bumps can develop permanently after injuries, so I am finding the whole thing really distressing. Please can someone tell me if these bumps do eventually resolve themselves? I would be so grateful for a reponse.

Three bidders fight over London 2012 Olympic village
LONDON (Reuters) - A medical charity which said last month it was considering buying London's Olympic Park was named on Wednesday as one of three bidders shortlisted to run part of the Olympic Village once the athletes have left.
London-based trust Wellcome Trust was invited to submit a final offer for the purchase and long-term management of that part of the village currently owned by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), the body responsible for building the Games' infrastructure.
The other two shortlisted bidders were the international corporation Hutchison Whampoa and Delancey and Qatari Diar, a consortium involving the property arm of the Qatar Investment Authority and London-based real estate investment adviser Delancey.
"The quality of the three shortlisted parties is a vote of confidence in the Olympic Village, demonstrating both UK and international interest in first-class British property," ODA Chief Executive Dennis Hone said in a statement.
Nearly half the 2,818 new homes, to be converted from athletes' quarters after 2012, are owned by the ODA, along with six future development plots in the village with the potential for a further 2,000 new homes.
Triathlon Homes, a joint venture company involving developers and housing associations, has bought the other half for affordable housing.
Politicians hope the 9.3 billion pounds ($15.21 billion) invested in the Games will help regenerate what has been one of the most deprived areas of Britain.
The area in Stratford, east London, will also have education and healthcare facilities, new parklands, public squares and open space, as well as good transport connections.
The private homes will range from studio apartments to four-to-five bedroom houses. Continued...

The Arabian Gulf in Antiquity vol. II picks up the study of the archaeology and history of the region from the end of the Iron Age and covers the period after the arrival of Alexander the Great.
From the Preface
The book was intended, from the outset, to be a comprehensive study of the archaeology and history of the region from prehistoric times to the Islamic conquest. As the work progressed it became clear that the book must be a fairly lengthy one if justice were to be done to the many sub-areas involved, their sites and finds, and the historical sources which pertained to them. However, a natural division in the manuscript seemed to emerge at the conclusion of the Iron Age and the arrival of Alexander the Great on the Western Asiatic scene. Thus, I began to think of the work in two parts, and when the final revisions were being made some colleagues suggested that publication in two volumes might be advisable. For despite the fact that my goal had always been to present the entire pre-Islamic past of the Arabian Gulf as a single entity, and indeed encourage readers to take a broad view of the region's history, it seemed undeniable that there were bound to be some readers whose interests would lie either in the early or in the late periods, and who might only wish to purchase one or the other volume. Thus, the decision was made to publish in two volumes.
