Children's toys often tell us how times have changed.
Canada stopped making pennies last year, so saving money a penny at a time will soon be a problem in Canada.
The United States also may stop making pennies, since the cost of the copper in a single coin is more than 1 cent.
But, ironically, the cost of a 19th-century mechanical bank has gone up. A Speaking Dog bank set a record at $63,250 a few years ago. The girl with the dog on that bank was wearing a blue dress. Most of these banks have a girl with a red dress.
The bank was sold at Morphy Auctions in Pennsylvania in 2007, before the economic downturn in 2008. And the record bank had almost perfect paint.
But the Speaking Dog bank still is very popular. It sells today for prices that range from $150 for one with worn paint and rust to more than $14,500 for an excellent example.
But watch out; copies have been made. The cast-iron mechanical bank was made by the J.&E. Stevens Co. of Cromwell, Conn., in about 1895.
Place a penny on the tray in the girl's hand. When the lever is pushed down, the dog opens its mouth, swallows the penny and wags its tail.
Q: I have an electric clock that pictures the Trylon and Perisphere and the words "New York World's Fair 1939" in gold on the face. The clock is in the shape of a ship's wheel and is about 11 inches tall. It was made by Sessions Clock Corp. and keeps perfect time. Does it have any value?
A: The New York World's Fair opened on April 30, 1939, the 150th anniversary of George Washington's inauguration as president of the United States. It ran until the end of October that year, reopened in May 1940 and closed on Oct. 27, 1940.
Many souvenirs were made for the fair. Items that picture the Trylon and Perisphere are especially wanted by collectors. The three-sided Trylon and spherical Perisphere, symbols of the fair, were temporary structures made of plasterboard over steel frames.
Check the website 1939NYWorldsFair.com for more information on the 1939 fair. Value of your clock: about $100.
Q: I inherited an antique Chippendale maple dresser with four drawers. There's a large tag inside one drawer that's titled "Florian Papp." Handwritten information on the card says the dresser is a "genuine antique" made in New England and that it was sold by Florian Papp in 1927. I would like to learn more.
A: Florian Papp (1883-1965) was born in Hungary and immigrated to the United States in about 1900. He worked as a cabinetmaker and furniture restorer before opening a gallery in New York City, where he specialized in selling European antiques.
The Florian Papp antiques and art gallery is still in business, now operated by the third generation of the Papp family. It has always been a very important gallery, and the provenance on the card is a guarantee that the dresser was made in New England and is not a reproduction.
Q: I found a platter in my mother's china cupboard that doesn't match anything else she had, and I have no idea where it came from. The mark on the bottom is a circle with a crown on top. The word "Celebrate" is inside the circle, and "Made in Germany" is written below. Is this platter old and valuable?
A: The mark you describe was used by Geo. Borgfeldt &Co., a New York City importer. The company was in business from 1881 until about 1976. Geo. Borgfeldt &Co. imported china and earthenware, dolls, toys, glassware, novelty goods and other items from Europe and sold them to retailers in the United States.
The mark was used beginning in 1936. "Celebrate" is one of the trademarks owned by Borgfeldt. Your platter probably was made in the late 1930s, before the outbreak of World War II. It is difficult to sell a piece that probably was part of a set. Value: about $40.
Q: I have six issues of Ladies' Home Journal from 1898. They're in pretty good condition. I was thinking they might be worth something to a collector. What do you think?
A: The Ladies' Home Journal was first published in 1883. It's still on newsstands today. Issues as old as yours are especially interesting to collectors because of their old ads and photos. In general, 1898 Ladies' Home Journals sell online and at shows for $40 to $45 each.
Q: I have a small set of Candlewick glass, but three of them are cloudy. I believe this is from being washed in a dishwasher. Is there any way to make them clear again?
A: Cloudiness is caused by deposits of calcium carbonate left by new phosphate-free dishwasher detergents, especially if they're used with hard water. Manufacturers removed phosphate from their dishwashing products in 2010, after several states banned the ingredient because it contributes to the growth of algae in the environment.
To clear up cloudy glasses, put a cup of white vinegar on the top rack of the dishwasher and run the glasses through the cleaning cycle without detergent. To prevent it from recurring, clean your dishwasher every six months and use less detergent when you run the dishwasher. You also can add a little citric acid to the detergent.

A visionary named Votee
This is another in a series of editorials on historic, unusual, exotic, beautiful, or just plain interesting buildings and places in North Jersey.
One day in 1927, a new man in town walked into the Teaneck municipal building to question the way his property was taxed. An irate official showed him the front door. So he formed his own Taxpayers League.
By 1932, the feisty and energetic Milton G. Votee was elected to the township government that had spurned him, and he was to serve it for nearly three decades during the time of Teaneck's greatest growth. Though he was mayor for 12 years during the Depression and World War II, his prime interest and greatest enjoyment was the township's planning board, which he chaired. Planning, he said "requires a mind that is extremely practical and ... far-seeing."
Milton Votee's farsightedness has been given a splendid memorial at the very center of the township. Fifty years ago, the 40-acre strip framed by Route 4, West Englewood Avenue, Queen Anne Road, and Palisade Avenue was little more than a mosquito-ridden swamp. People dumped their garbage there, rats ran wild, and health officials eared an outbreak of malaria.
Today it is a model municipal park, perhaps the most popular place in town. Early-morning joggers circle the regulation ballfields. There's a swimming pool, tennis and handball courts, sprawling lawns, exercise courses, and a lighted bandshell for summer concerts.
It was through Milton Votee's persistence that this and similar sites were designated as parkland in Teaneck's forward-looking master plan. To develop those parks the township won a $340,000 Works Project Administration grant from the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration. The land cost virtually nothing - thanks in part, Votee once explained, to the long-ago tactics of unscrupulous New York City land auctioneers.
In the freewheeling days around the turn of the century, auctioneers hired trains to lure customers to New Jersey, set up tents at the train stops, and served refreshments. Many customers bought property sight unseen, only to find that it was unbuildable swampland. Inevitably, the land reverted to the township through tax foreclosure. It was to become the basis of Teaneck's park system.
Dredging and draining and filling began in 1939 for what was then called Central Park, and it was dedicated in 1943. Sixteen years later, as 5,000 Teaneck residents stood and applauded their grand old man, the park was renamed for Milton G. Votee. He died two years later at the age of 81.
Milton Votee and his wife, Emeline, had no children. But a later mayor of Teaneck, state Sen. Matthew Feldman, said that his love for children stimulated his concern for parks and recreation That concern has received a lasting memorial in Votee Park. The township displays it well.

Feminism | Posted by janedoe225 on 03/11/2011
There is a married woman and her husband works long nights and doesn't return until the early morning. When her husband is away, the wife gets dressed up and goes to an island where she has affairs with random men. When these men get too close to her, like if they want to take their affair to the next level, she purposely gets in fights with them. Then she takes the ferry back home before her husband arrives. She's also really drunk.
So one night she does her usual routine. She goes to the island, has sex with a guy and then acts like a jerk so they can break up. As she is on her way back to the ferry she realizes …

About Pure Inventions Pure Inventions is the creation of lifelong friends Lynne Gerhards and Lori Mulligan both Certified Clinical Nutritionists and Nutritional Consultants. Founded in 2003, Pure Inventions is the true pioneer of nutritional, liquid supplements in the beauty industry and a trendsetter in the healthy lifestyle industry. The history of Pure Inventions parallels the growth of nutritional awareness in the United States and across the world. Lori and Lynne started their practice of clinical counseling in nutrition and soon became very aware of the increasing need for healthy alternative beverage choices. Combining their knowledge of nutrition with the science of liquid supplements they decided to develop their own line, thus Pure Inventions was born. The main goal of developing Pure Inventions was to achieve the wellness of the whole person in a way that was easy, convenient and would be simple to incorporate into a hectic lifestyle.

Lynne Gerhards, CNC, Co-founder, Pure InventionsLynne Gerhards worked as Director of Golf and Membership at a country club for 17 years, until one day she decided it was time to make a change. She was ready to go out on her own and enjoy more independence. Lynne had recently become fascinated with nutrition and holistic health, so when she learned about the Clinical Nutrition and Holistic Health program through the Academy of Natural Health Sciences (as well as an additional certification through the American Association of Nutritional Consultants), she jumped at the opportunity. (Even after learning it involved a year of weekend classes lasting 10-12 hours a piece!) Lori Mulligan, CNC, Co-founder, Pure InventionsLori Mulligan was soon to follow. With a degree in business and marketing, she too was interested in health and nutrition-especially in taking good care of herself and her two daughters. As a single mother raising her children, Lori wanted to be an example of discipline and independence for her daughters. So when long-time friend Lynne told her about the programs she was exploring, Lori was in. When they emerged from that intense but rewarding year, Lynne and Lori took their certificates as Certified Clinical Nutritionists and Certified Nutritional Consultants and co-founded a nutritional practice, "Nutrition First," in Red Bank, NJ, where they worked with clients referred to them by doctors, chiropractors, fitness instructors, acupuncturists and plastic surgeons. Many of these clients struggled with issues such as diabetes, weight gain/weight loss, nutritional deficiencies from immune disorders, MS, cancer recovery, high stress, sports nutrition and fatigue. Lynne and Lori counseled their clients on how to have a natural and healthy approach to their diet and lifestyle, including topics like prevention, nutritional supplementation, stress management, exercise and lifestyle practices. The Pure Inventions product line arose out of a need they saw for their clients to have more healthy options when looking for beverages. They felt it was important to offer their clients a beverage that had no sugar, no caffeine, no artificial sweeteners, no calories, no gluten and no sodium that was also all-natural and delicious. They now have 15 products in their Pure Inventions line, which all started with one green tea extract. Philosophy Pure Inventions has created a way for everyone to live well naturally: All of the good, none of the bad. Pure Inventions uses only the purest ingredients.

CLAREMONT - The Claremont city council determined its priorities for 2013 which features economic development, financial sustainability, sustainability and local water issues.
"I would recommend that we move Golden State Water to a priority since that is going to be a focus of our attention for this year," said councilman Sam Pedroza.
The city council priorities workshop started at 8 a.m. and ended close to 4 p.m. at City Council Chambers, 225 Second St.
The water item moved from the section of projects to priorities but there was no further discussion about the item.
City officials have been at odds with the San Dimas-based water company for some time after it asked the Public Utilities Commission to approve a rate increase of more than 24 percent for 2013 and additional increases in 2014 and 2015.
A negotiated settlement resulted in Claremont's 11,000 customers and ratepayers receiving a 15.1 percent rate hike in 2013, 2 percent more in 2014 and 1.8 percent in 2015.
In November, Claremont officials sent an initial offer of more than $54 million to purchase the company's local assets but Golden State officials have said no.
Additionally, the council also determined policies for 2013 of bike and pedestrian safety, a healthy communities model, long term management of urban forest, pedestrian friendly policy, public employee retirement system and wilderness park master plan.
The wilderness park master plan includes an access and parking plan, after residents said the two should be combined.
"We've seen the parking issue being dealt with piecemeal. We would prefer to have this be part of the master plan," said Lissa Petersen of the Claremont Wildlands Conservancy.
Council members discussed potential expansion of the wilderness park including the north terminus of Mills Avenue, specifically the expansion of the lot at the northeast corner of Mills Avenue and Mt. Baldy Road; the west end of Pomello Avenue; and the north end of the Claraboya neighborhood. The neighborhood would include Mountain Avenue, Via Santa Catarina and Highpoint Drive.
In addition, there is a possible addition of 46 perpendicular parking spaces on the west side of Mills between Pomello and Mt. Baldy to be reviewed by the Traffic and Transportation Commission and traffic surveys conducted to document spillover parking from metered parking lots on north Mills.
Metered parking lots on Mills should be open in February with an award contract to a consultant to study parking lot options in March, city officials said.
There will be parking studies of entrance areas in May and June and the results and recommendations will be sent back to city council in September.
But city manager Tony Ramos asked for some time to bring the combined wilderness parking and master plan item back to council saying the process had cost more than $500,000 on putting together the parking plan: "We only want to do this once. We may have to update it in the future and it may take a little longer but it will be done right."
Councilmembers also talked in detail about the need for a public safety facility despite a lack of funding available, the renaming of Cahuilla Park, and the decision to not pursue becoming a charter city.
"You can't solve anything by turning into a charter city," said councilman Opanyi Nasiali.
Councilman Pedroza said he was behind the idea, which would have moved Claremont from being a general law city to a one that can generate its own law in terms of any municipal issue as long as the laws don't conflict with the state constitution.
"What we want is independence," Pedroza said. "And the charter city status is an independent form of government."
City manager Ramos said the item would not go on the city's priority list at this time but could be brought back for additional direction.

Welcome to trapexit.org, the Erlang community site where you can read news and weblogs related to Erlang/OTP, discuss projects, issues and ideas with other Erlang developers, and read and publish articles and HowTos related to Erlang/OTP.
Trapexit News
What is Erlang and OTP?
Erlang is a programming language used to build server side industrial grade scalable, massively scalable soft real-time systems with high availability requirements. Some of its uses are in telecoms, banking, e-commerce, computer telephony and instant messaging. Erlang's runtime system has built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance. Originally developed at Ericsson, it was released as open source in 1998.
OTP is set of Erlang libraries and design principles providing middle-ware to develop these systems. It includes its own distributed database, SNMP and CORBA agents, debugging tools and release handling tools. These tools and applications distributed by Ericsson are complemented by numerous other open source project projects.
Here is an example of Erlang code:
-module(beersong). -author('BillClementson'). -export([sing/0]). -define(TEMPLATE_0, "~s of beer on the wall, ~s of beer.~n" "Go to the store and buy some more," "99 bottles of beer on the wall.~n"). -define(TEMPLATE_N, "~s of beer on the wall, ~s of beer.~n" "Take one down and pass it around, ~s" " of beer on the wall.~n~n"). create_verse(0) -> {0, io_lib:format(?TEMPLATE_0, phrase(0))}; create_verse(Bottle) -> {Bottle, io_lib:format(?TEMPLATE_N, phrase(Bottle))}. phrase(0) -> ["No more bottles", "no more bottles"]; phrase(1) -> ["1 bottle", "1 bottle", "no more bottles"]; phrase(2) -> ["2 bottles", "2 bottles", "1 bottle"]; phrase(Bottle) -> lists:duplicate(2,integer_to_list(Bottle) ++ " bottles") ++ [integer_to_list(Bottle-1) ++ " bottles"]. bottles() -> lists:reverse(lists:seq(0,99)). sing() -> lists:foreach(fun spawn_singer/1, bottles()), sing_verse(99). spawn_singer(Bottle) -> Pid = self(), spawn(fun() -> Pid ! create_verse(Bottle) end). sing_verse(Bottle) -> receive {_, Verse} when Bottle == 0 -> io:format(Verse); {N, Verse} when Bottle == N -> io:format(Verse), sing_verse(Bottle-1) after 3000 -> io:format("Verse not received after 3 seconds" " - re-starting singer~n"), spawn_singer(Bottle), sing_verse(Bottle) end.

"The Christian life is a person-to-person transforming encounter—betwixt believers and Christ, among believers, and with all the peoples of the world. The Christian gospel is not only an ancient and growing body of doctrine. It is also a transforming set of practices and a call to virtue, always in context, always personal and formational, and all for the common good in the Reign of God."
The road that brought me to ministry at Aquinas Institute of Theology involved almost twenty years of pastoral ministry at the Catholic Campus Parish of South Dakota State University, Brookings, South Dakota; Associate Pastor at Blessed Sacrament Parish, Madison, Wisconsin; Vocation Coordinator for the Dominican Central Province, Chicago, Illinois; priest for the St. Giles Family Mass Community, Oak Park, Illinois; and chaplain for Dominican Chapel/Marywood and founder and program director for Dominican Center at Marywood in Grand Rapids, Michigan. After completing my Doctor of Ministry in Preaching in 1991, I came to Aquinas Institute in 1994 to live in the formation community of Saint Dominic Priory and to serve as Director of Field Education and Assistant Professor of Homiletics. Now, a surprising twenty years later, I continue to serve as Professor of Homiletics, while serving also since 2007 as Academic Dean and Vice President. I now reside at Saint Louis Bertrand House near Forest Park.
My academic interests have to do with the theology of preaching, Christian healing, and evangelization —with a particular and longstanding interest in repairing the fractured relationship of men and women in our culture (Galatians 3:28).
I continue to take any opportunity I can to hike in the American West. Favorite places include Mount Rainier National Park in Washington, Zion National Park in Utah, Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, and the Big Sur Coast in California. I look forward this summer to exploring the coast of Maine and New Brunswick.

'"I'd be lying if I said I didn't look back with some regrets," he said. "I probably should have been more involved in the process than just allowing my agent to handle things. I should have made it more clear how much I wanted to stay. There's things in life you look back on and wish you could change, but you can't. You just hope to learn from them."'

yay... another apple maps article...
Consumer Reports: Apple's Maps App Still Provides a Good Solution for Standard Software "in New York" might be more accurate title !!! Cos it sure ain't where I live....
They need to do a better test. How about they test an iPhone 4 with IOS5.1.1 and an iPhone 5 with IOS6.0 in Australia. They will see how bad the new maps really is.
I've done some tests with my iPhone 4,JB IOS5.1.1 and iPad3 IOS6 and the iPhone4 is heaps better when it comes to just about everything. Not just maps but nearly everything is faster on the iPhone4 and its jailbroken so it should be slower but its not. The iPad3 is heaps slower now, slower than the iPhone4 which is the main reason why I'm not going to upgrade the iPhone 4 as it will be nearly unuseable on IOS6.
There are many factors when it comes to iPhone vs Android so do a real test with iPhone vs iPhone, IOS5.1.1 to IOS6.0, then you will see the true results.
Next time I see my brother I'll do some real tests. He has a iPhone4 and iPhone4S both on IOS6 so I'll test them against my iPhone 4 on 5.1.1 and give some real proper results.
In the UK Apple Maps have failed miserably every time I've tried to use it.
The lack of Street View would have been bad enough, but the lack of 'satellite' images is appalling. Together with the lack of being able to find even basic places and some gross inaccuracies make it farcical.
Anyone who wants turn by turn navigation will already have something like CoPilot which is a far better solution anyway.
I will not be updating my iPad as the new features (including Siri) in no way make up for the appalling loss of functionality in the Maps app.
Stop assuming your one device represents the world. I work on these devices daily, they are no slower. (especially 4s's and ipad 2's) I've updated them en mass for the place i work, and don't see your issues.
The only thing that reminds me of what your talking about is early iOS 6 beta's. Which if you flashed them, not being a dev, you need to DFU your device and go stock.
now, please tell me:
did your iOS 5 maps have turn by turn?
what features in iOS 5 maps are missing in the google maps html 5 version? (which is getting street view, something we never had)
please no more nub reviews. We see this enough.
I am glad this map issue happened to Apple, They deserve it! There is no reason why they couldn't work with Google on maps. Who cares if Google's android OS is selling better. It's Apple's own fault for not innovating faster. It's called competition, live with Apple....& fanboys.
The HTML version is slower and nowhere near as usable as the google maps in previous iOS.
What do you mean we've not had steet view before?its been in iOS Google maps for ages.
You must be dumb or read only what you want to read, Google would not let Apple use turn-by-turn on their device saying its an Android on;y feature. Apple was pretty much forced to create their own maps. Using the term fanboy makes you sound like one yourself so your not any better.
PS. none of this has to do with Google's OS selling better and the only reason why they sell better is 1 they flood the market (which most of the phone's are crap) 2 Google's OS is on every single carrier, a lot of people like pay as you go which you can't do with an iPhone
I STILL DONT see what the ios Maps issues is. I live in Atlanta and have been using the apple/ios maps since IOS 6 beta 1 and haven't had any issues using it PERIOD! its accurate, fast, and turn by turn works. The 3d maps didnt work in Atlanta till the ios6 GM was released but i have the 3d maps and they look good. i guess some people will complain about anything, but i have nothing to complain about on my end. Is it flawless NO but neither was Google maps, or my Garmin 265lmt or the first versions of google maps on the first few iPhones either
You live in America, it works for you so it must work for the rest of us?
I guess I'm just whinging for nothing and Apple Maps aren't totally useless here then.
I really dont see why apple didnt just put the tom toms app in the iphone for free haha.. I mean they would use the same ui and directions and places tom tom uses in supported locations but for places like china where that other company uses software they should use that. I feel like apple has this great technology pre-built and they only needed to mold it into one app and they failed..

WATCH: Nick Swisher Hits Walk-Off Grand Slam
(Cleveland, OH) -- Nick Swisher's two-out grand slam in the bottom of the 10th inning powered the Indians to a 5-3 win over the Angels at Progressive Field. Albert Pujols singled in two runs in the top of the inning to give Los Angeles a 3-1 lead. After Scott Atchison surrendered the lead in the top of the 10th, Kyle Crockett came on to get the final out and get credit for the eventual win. Ernesto Frieri served up Swisher's slam after Cam Bedrosian loaded the bases. Bedrosian was tagged with the loss. Starters Justin Masterson and C.J. Wilson each pitched seven innings of one-run ball in a no-decision.

I got the call yesterday that is every mother's nightmare. As many of you know, I go over to my daughter's house every morning at 6:00 when she leaves for work to get Triniti off to school and bring Tierni back home with me. Krissi walks out the door and everything goes perfect. Until yesterday.
She had only been gone about 30 minutes when I got the call on my cell phone. Krissi was involved in a horrible wreck and was being sent by ambulance to the hospital. She takes I-70 to work everyday and some idiot (believe me, that's the least I have called him) was driving 100 mph in rush hour traffic and rear-ended her while she was sitting still. There were 11 cars involved in all, but Krissi took the blunt of the %$^&&* stupidity. She was in the far right lane and ended up with her car going the other way on the median. The police have no idea why her car didn't roll. She was on two wheels for 150 feet.
I know why, God was with her the whole time. That's the only explanation. She should not have been able to climb out of the passenger side window over the engine that was sitting there and still be alive! Thank you, God, for saving my daughter!
She's alive and okay. Severe bruising and sore. The airbag came out and her face is swollen with two black eyes and can't move hardly at all, but no broken bones, that we know of yet. She's out of the hospital and goes back today for more x-rays. She's alive and that's all that matters!
The idiot that hit her is in jail and the police have been wonderful to her! There were so many loving and kind people that took care of her when it happened before the ambulance got there that it gives us all hope in mankind!
I guess what I'm trying to say in this post is don't ever take anything for granted and kiss and hug those closest to you anytime you walk away.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA - Assemblyman Curt Hagman now has a dual role on the political stage as chairman of the San Bernardino County Republican Party.
The county party's Central Committee chose Hagman over former San Bernardino County Supervisor Neil Derry, the only other candidate, by a vote of 30-12 on Thursday night at the party's organizational meeting at Hilton Garden Inn in Rancho Cucamonga.
Hagman, serving his third term in the Assembly, announced his plans to seek the party chairmanship earlier this month. It appeared as if he would have to challenge Robert Rego for the post, but Rego announced Jan. 24 that he would not seek another term as the local GOP's leader in order to pursue a volunteer position with the state Republican organization.
During his pitch for the chairmanship and after winning the night's vote, Hagman said California Republicans' comeback after the party's poor showings in the 2012 election can be accomplished via aggressive efforts to organize party events, get donations, reach out to young voters via social media and recruit volunteers and candidates.
"It's not going to be policy issues as much as blocking and tackling," Hagman said.
The assemblyman was more or less the establishment choice at the meeting.
An alternate Central Committee member standing in for Rep. Gary Miller nominated Hagman, and San Bernardino County Supervisor Gary Ovitt offered his second.
Lane Schneider, founder of the Redlands Tea Party Patriots, nominated Derry for the leadership post.
Derry said before the vote that the San Bernardino County Republican Party has allowed itself to become divided and has not done enough to work with Republican women's groups or conservative Tea Party contingents from the Redlands and Yucaipa areas.
"What we need to do as a party is come together," Derry said.
Derry offered his support to Hagman after the vote was in.
Prior to selecting the county GOP's new chairman, former Inland Empire legislator Jim Brulte addressed the Republican audience. Brulte is campaigning for the chairmanship of the California Republican Party and is expected to be a favorite for the post.
Whoever leads the state GOP will do so after what can only be considered a ruinous year for the party. The Democratic Party won veto-proof supermajorities in both houses of the state Legislature in the November elections and the GOP's registration is shrinking.
Brulte said Republicans need to motivate donors and grassroots members and grow diversity in the GOP. He said California Republicans already have more black, Latino and Asian Americans than most people realize.
"It's axiomatic, in a neighborhood election, the candidate who looks like, sounds like, shares the same values, has the same experiences, tends to win," Brulte said.

Use steel-belted washer hoses to avoid floods
If your washing machine is connected to bare rubber hoses, you're risking thousands of dollars' worth of water damage. Under constant water pressure, these hoses are prone to leaks or even bursting. That's why building codes say that the water supply should be shut off when the washer isn't in use—unless it's connected to no-burst hoses.
No-burst hoses are encased in a woven metal sleeve that prevents weak spots in the rubber from developing into leaks. The hoses are available at home centers, and installing them is as easy as connecting a garden hose.

You may know them as mild-mannered Jim and Vicki Sullos, but beneath their quiet exteriors lies the fantasy world of Tarzan and Jane.
"Except for the leopard loin cloth, Jim and I have had pretty much a Tarzan/Jane relationship for 40 years," Vicki said gleefully from their home in Bixby Hill. "He beats on his chest, and I respond with my point of view, which usually prevails."
Jim smiles at his wife's characterization of their married life.
The Sulloses are having a little fun at Tarzan's expense, but Jim is no nonsense in his late-in-life, second career as caretaker of the literary legacy and business empire of Tarzan's creator, Edgar Rice Burroughs.
In his first job as a longtime accountant and managing partner with the powerhouse Long Beach accounting firm Windes and McClaughry, it would have been hard for Jim to imagine that he one day would be making deals and decisions affecting the image and business potential of one of the superstars of pop culture and literature.
After mandatory retirement from Windes and McClaughry, Jim became president of Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. on May 1, 2008.
"It's the best job in the world, but it's a killer commute," Jim said. Three or four days a week, Jim makes the daily 1 1/2-hour trip each way to his ERB office in, where else, Tarzana, the city Burroughs carved out from a 555-acre ranch he bought in 1919.
Jim's office is in the same Spanish-style bungalow built by Burroughs and set back from Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley. The office is filled with Burroughs' memorabilia, including the author's walnut desk decorated with Moorish figures.
It's like living in another world for Jim, who was born and raised in Long Beach, where he graduated from Poly High School. He became a Long Beach community leader active on many boards and nonprofit organizations and is chairman of the board of International City Bank.
His wife also is active with the Assistance League of Long Beach.
"My ERB job is exciting and really interesting," Sullos said as he outlined details for the Tarzan Centennial Commemorative celebration to be held Aug. 16-18 at the Warner Center Marriott Hotel in Woodland Hills next door to Tarzana.
A keystone of the celebration will be the Dum Dum Convention, the annual fan event of the Burroughs Bibliophiles, a nonprofit organization formed 60 years ago to further the literary legacy of the most prolific author of the 20th Century. Burroughs wrote more than 70 novels and 40 short stories and is referred to as the Master of Adventure and the Grandfather of Science Fiction.
Burroughs was a failure at every job he held until he struck gold with his stories. He was a railroad watchman, a Sears manager and a stationery store owner, among other endeavors.
In 1912, at age 37, Burroughs decided that his latest job as a pencil sharpener salesman wasn't bringing in enough money to support a wife, two children and a baby on the way. He had been reading stories in pulp fiction magazines and figured he could write stories better than those and actually get paid for them.
He received $400 for his first novel, "Under the Moons of Mars," written under the pseudonym, Normal Bean, because he wanted this science fiction story to be more credible if written by a "normal" person.
Later in 1912, he wrote another novel, this time under his real name, about a boy who grows up to be "Tarzan of the Apes." He received $700 for this story, which ran in All-Story magazine.
"The rest is history," Sullos said. "It's estimated that over 100 million copies of his books have been published around the world, and with books, movies, comic books, comic strips and merchandise, he reached over a billion people at his peak."
Burroughs, who never expected his writing to amount to much, was overwhelmed by the positive response he got from his early stories. In 1923 he did a very smart thing. He had the foresight to start Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. to protect the copyright of his literary creations and to market them as he and his family wanted.
Sullos' path to Tarzan was much different.
After graduating from Occidental College and Columbia University, Sullos started working "as a baby accountant" for Windes and McClaughry in 1960. By coincidence, one of Windes and McClaughry's accounts was ERB Inc. and guess who was assigned to that account? Young Jim Sullos. When he retired from Windes and McClaughry, it was a relatively easy decision by the Burroughs family to put him in charge of ERB.
Now, it is Sullos' job to not only protect the copyright and legacy of the Tarzan name, but also to expand on his popularity. He spends a lot of time dealing with copyright issues and negotiating contracts for and licenses for everything from Tarzan hats to video games in Las Vegas casinos, one of the most popular new games of its kind on the market.
He also is fiercely aggressive in stopping "infringers," those people who want to use the Burroughs creations illegally.
"The Internet has helped us worldwide to discover people who are violating our copyright," Sullos said. "We've gone after some people making pornographic films using the Tarzan name."
"Tarzan has become a big international business, and different copyright laws in different countries makes our job more difficult," he said. "For instance, there's Tarzan soap in India, Tarzan fertilizer in Pakistan and Tarzan cosmetics in South Korea, just to name a few."
Sullos said if you want to use the Tarzan name for anything, you have to follow various rules instituted by ERB.
"For example, Tarzan doesn't smoke," he said. "Tarzan doesn't drink. He's not mean to people, except the bad guys."
It's sort of like Tarzan's l0 Commandments.
Sullos' job is a demanding one. He's working on so many projects it's hard to understand how he has time for all of them. Sullos is working now on the release of a new book, "Jane, the Woman Who Loved Tarzan," by Robin Maxwell. Other Tarzan books, written by Andy Briggs for a young audience in England, soon will be published in the United States. And then there are more movies to plan and, oh yes, the centennial celebration in two weeks.
The three-day centennial event will feature a convention with fans, collectors, actors, authors and artists. A special guest speaker at the dinner Aug. 18 will be Dr. Jane Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute.
Goodall credits Burroughs' "Tarzan of the Apes" novel and other stories as the source of her lifelong interest in primates. She began reading Tarzan stories when she was 11.
Sullos said ERB also will be unveiling newly commissioned statues of Tarzan in fighting garb, done by artist Joe DeVito. The painted version will sell for $225, the bronze version for $425. If you would like a solid bronze statue, you can buy one for $7,500, but there are only 10 of those, so move fast.
In other Tarzan news, Sullos said the U.S. Postal Service will unveil an Edgar Rice Burroughs commemorative stamp Aug. 17 at 11:30 a.m. at the Tarzana Community & Cultural Center, 19130 Ventura Blvd., Tarzana.
All of these activities should guarantee that the famous Ape Man will continue swinging from the vines with the help of Jim Sullos and his Jane, Vicki.

Mental Illness Affects 1 in 5 U.S. Adults, Survey Finds
Latest Mental Health News
FRIDAY, Nov. 30 (HealthDay News) -- One in five adults in the United States, or 45.6 million people, had a mental illness in the past year, according to a federal government report.
The rate of mental illness was twice as high among people aged 18 to 25 (nearly 30 percent) than among those 50 and older (about 14 percent), and women were more likely than men to have had a mental illness in the previous year, 23 percent versus just under 16 percent, the findings showed.
The 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health defined mental illness as having a diagnosable mental, behavioral or emotional disorder. The survey included more than 65,000 people aged 12 and older in the United States. The report on the survey was released by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
Among the other findings:
The survey also revealed that 2 million youth aged 12 to 17 (8 percent of that population) had a major depressive episode in the previous year. Young people who had a major depressive episode were more than twice as likely to use illicit drugs during that year than those without major depressive episode, 36 percent versus about 17 percent.
"Although mental illness remains a serious public health issue, increasingly we know that people who experience it can be successfully treated and can live full, productive lives," SAMHSA administrator Pamela Hyde said in an agency news release. "Like other medical conditions, such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes, the key to recovery is identifying the problem and taking active measures to treat it as soon as possible."

Katy Perry announces world tour
Listen to Katy Perry on iHeartRadio
Katy Perry has lined up her next tour.
On Sunday, the star sent out a series of caps-locked tweets announcing a worldwide trek in support of her latest album Prism. Official tour dates arrive on Monday. The star says she plans to play "all of your favorite songs AND all the brand new ones."
Katy's 2011 "California Dreams" tour was one of the highest-grossing tours that year. While she's been intent on distancing herself from the candy-colored look of her "Teenage Dream" days, Katy's promised fans to deliver the same level of entertainment for her "Prism" tour.
This week will also bring a new music video from the star. Her video for "Unconditionally" is set to premiere on Tuesday night.

Dana White briefly took some shots at Mayweather's fight last night and boxing in general. Did anyone see the fight? I didn't but I think watching 12 rounds of defense would be very boring. They say Mayweather didn't even look like he just fought 12 rounds. Awesome. Would love to watch a fight where guys don't fight.

Lawyer For Jets Fan Who Brawled With Patriots Fans: 'They Should All Have A Beer Together'
(Jen Chung) Last month, a Jets fan and three Patriots fans found themselves in hot water after a video of a brawl at MetLife Stadium went viral. Jets superfan and convicted killer Kurt Paschke, plus Pats supporters Amanda MacDowell, Jaclyn Nugent, and David James Sacco, were charged with charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct. However, a second video apparently shows more of the altercation.
According to the Bergen Record, "The new footage was screened privately Wednesday night inside East Rutherford's municipal court for the attorneys of four people charged in the fight. Taken from security cameras inside MetLife Stadium, the video revealed for the first time in court contains an additional eight to 10 seconds of the melee."

|XFS, Quotas and Samba
|"Giddings, Bret" <bret@xxxxxxxxxxx>
|Wed, 5 Sep 2001 14:57:39 +0100
I am investigating whether I can replace my expensive Compaq Alphas file servers with cheaper (and invariably faster given my budget) Intel based ones. I have so far been pleased with the ease with which xfs has installed and run on my hardware of choice. To make my life easier, I have picked up the pre-built RedHat kernels with xfs support. Everything appears to be fine except that when connecting to a share from Samba, the amount of free space reported is the amount of free disk space left on the device rather than the amount of free space in the users quota (this is on a disk mounted with usrquota and a quota set for the users). The usual tools (edquota, setquota work as expected). I have downloaded the source rpm for samba and it appears that RedHat build their smbd to support quotas. I have also checked whether /usr/include/sys/quota.h is modified by installing your updated quota rpm (quota-3.01pre8) and it isn't. So, is there another reason why quotas don't appear to work with xfs/samba?

Forum:New Uncyclopedia Theme
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Abbreviated NUT
Thanks to Lyrithya, I now have a brand-new shiny sparkly .css for our
Wiki site; check it out here, it's pretty awesome. That was the theme used for SOPA, with some modifications to enhance the overall appearance.
Now I know that I just voted against having a Turkey Ball '12, citing that we as a site should not be making any more content due to our feud with Wikia, but I digress. I was thinking of a program or side-job (sort of like UnNews) where users would constantly try and make better themes for the site, to enhance functionality, navigation-ability and the color scheme. These could be full-fledged HTML mods, or just new CSS-es for the site.
Good or bad idea? I would be more than happy to found, run and contribute to the program, and maintain it by myself, as to cause no hassle to anybody else. →A (Ruins)01:04 21 November 2012

Richfield • Sometimes sports become a metaphor for life, a crucible of obstacles to overcome, a drama of triumph and tragedy.
Such was the storyline of tiny Bryce Valley's basketball season, a year that began with the death of the coach's son and one that ended with the lows and ultimate high with a 68-59 double-overtime victory over Duchesne.
"There was a lot of meaning here," said Bryce Valley coach Eric Jessen, who lost his son Jesse when the 6-foot-7 junior starter was driving home from basketball practice in August. "It was not about basketball. It was about overcoming obstacles."
Jessen tried not to make the season about Jesse, a kid affectionately known as "Big Red." He tried to get his players to not dedicate the season to his son, but they kept asking. He asked the cheerleaders not to chant his name during introductions, something they honored until the game was won, when chants of "Jesse! Jesse! Jesse!" echoed through the Sevier Valley Center.
After all, he wasn't the only person in the tight-knit communities of Cannonville, Henrieville, Tropic and Bryce Canyon city that lost a family member this year.
"There were a lot of deaths in the community, and it affected the kids in the school," said Jessen. "They were struggling in their personal lives. I am a counselor and I am a P.E. teacher. I have these kids in the classroom. I feel for them."
In the end, the championship game proved to be a microcosm of an emotional year. Bryce Valley raced to a big lead and watched a Duchesne team motivated by the retirement of its revered coach Stan Young, who was coaching his last game, come back to lead much of the second half. Ultimately, the Mustangs needed a miracle or two to pull out the win.
The first of those came with time running out in the first overtime when Logan LeFevre banked in a shot as the buzzer rang to tie the game.
"I didn't know it was coming to me," said LeFevre, who had to be the Mustangs' big man when Jesse Jessen died. "Somebody tipped it to me. I just turned and let it fly. It felt good when I let it go."
He said Jesse was always on the team's mind.
"He's always been there for us when we've been down," said LeFevre. "When we got down after that second half, I thought we were done. But we pushed through and kept pushing and never gave up. We had a little help from above."
The second unlikely happening came with 52 seconds left in the game and Bryce Valley nursing a one-point lead. Out of nowhere, freshman Kix Roundy launched a 3-pointer that was too much for gutty Duchesne to overcome.
"I decided to shoot it for some reason," said Roundy. "It was open, so I took it. I don't think a freshman would ever do that, but I guess I did."
Jessen admitted that it was one of those "Oh no! Oh yes!" moments.
He knew just how good a Duchesne team was that came from 12 points down in the first half to lead by as many as eight in the second half. The Eagles' Trent Roberts and McKade Nielsen burned Bryce Valley from inside, and Kaden Moon hurt the Mustangs from outside.
So Jessen turned the game over to Braxton Syrett, an emotional and quick senior leader who responded with 23 points, 10 rebounds and four steals and just would not be denied a championship.
"I am so happy for my team, for the community and for everybody who stepped up in the game," said Syrett. "I couldn't ask for anything better than this."
As for Jessen, he knew this game was about much more than basketball.
"Jesse is in his spot where he is at now," said the emotionally drained coach. "These kids have to live their life and go through challenges. It's about them living their life and becoming better people."
It was obvious Saturday night that Bryce Valley fans lived their lives to the fullest. People like Jesse Jessen would be remembered, but there was still much to celebrate.

Award honors the efforts of groups working together to make a significant contribution to the built environment of Los Angeles.
(Los Angeles, California) October 25, 2013 — The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Los Angeles chapter has recognized the Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX, designed by Fentress Architects, as the 2013 Presidential Honoree Building Team of the Year. The annual AIA Los Angeles Design Awards and Exhibit honors excellence in work by Los Angeles architects and is one of the most prestigious awards a designer can win in the Los Angeles design community.
Selected by the AIA Los Angeles Board of Directors, the Building Team of the Year Award acknowledges the efforts of a variety of entities successfully working together in the formation of a significant contribution to the built environment of Los Angeles. The collaboration must demonstrate success in both design and social impact and must be an inspiration for future collaborations that will enrich the architectural heritage of the city.
"In addition to Fentress Architects as the Design Architect, the project team for the Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX included more than 40 consultants. Because of their years of contribution to this project and deep understanding of what it takes to build a project of this magnitude, the new Terminal truly embodies the character of Los Angeles and creates a remarkable sense of place. It is unmistakably LA," said Curtis Fentress, FAIA, RIBA, principal-in-charge of design for the LAX modernization.
The modernized terminal is the largest public works project in the history of Los Angeles. It took more than 500,000 architectural man-hours to complete the project. Additionally, there were more than 550 contractors and Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) personnel with over 9,900 workers logging nearly 6.5 million man-hours on the construction of the new terminal.
The design was inspired by the Pacific Ocean, with a flowing roofline that recalls the rhythm of waves breaking on the beach. An open and spacious 100-foot-tall Great Hall suffused with natural daylight acknowledges Southern California's temperate climate, while aluminum ceilings arch over the column-free structure. This design creates a single cohesive architectural theme that unifies the entire building, inside and out. The new terminal has already won several architectural design awards and is expected to become a new iconic structure for Los Angeles alongside the historical LAX Theme Building with its parabolic arches.
In addition to reinventing the travel experience for passengers, the new Tom Bradley International Terminal is a vital economic engine for Los Angeles. According to U.S. Representative and former Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn, "Every daily round-trip overseas flight at LAX generates $623 million annually." In addition to the revenue generated by overseas flights, 4,000 construction-related jobs were created during the project's four-year construction schedule. Once the terminal officially begins operations later this summer, 2,000 permanent concessions-related jobs will be created.
The total cost of the project's construction, architectural and engineering designs, permits, and related expenditures is $1.9 billion and remains within the forecast budget. No monies from the Los Angeles general fund were used. Instead, the project was funded from LAX's operating revenue, capital improvement program funds, fees from airlines, and airport revenue bond proceeds.
"The modernized Tom Bradley International Terminal is a new gateway for LA," said Fentress. "The architecture was inspired by the people and geography of LA, but the functionality was inspired by LA's economic needs."

Hookup Culture Is a Myth
(NEWSER) – You know the whole hookup culture of casual sex that's so prevalent on college campuses? Turns out, it's not so prevalent. Or at least, no more prevalent than in an earlier generation, a new study suggests. The key stat: About one-third of college students have had more than one sexual partner in the last year—the same as those surveyed between 1988 and 1996, reports Time. "College students today are not having more sexual partners [after] age 18, more sexual partners over the last year, or more sex than their parents," says a sociology professor at the University of Oregon that led the study.
