I've NOT been a fan of M$'s online apps (IE and Outlook/Outlook Express ... and IIS) for too many years to admit but [this article, Microsoft releases patch for newest IE bug, at TechRepublic only demonstrates why my security issues are not to be taken lightly. Rather than begin a new rant favoring [url=http://getfirefox.com]FireFox or [url=http://chrome.com]Chrome](http://www.techrepublic.com/article/microsoft-releases-patch-for-newest-ie-bug/#ftag=RSS56d97e7), let me just remind members that IE is tightly integrated with WinDoze so you need to update even if you are using "a good (secure and DOM-compliant) browser."
What's interesting is that Microsoft have decided to make the patch available for XP users as well, even though XP support has officially ended. I'm not sure if that's because of customer pressure, or because they think this threat is sufficiently serious to justify exceptional action.
Keep in mind--Microsoft is still supporting XP for paying customers on a limited basis. I'm guessing they simply released the patch from that channel to the public channel.
Good point.

Written by: Ted Vial
John Wesley (1703-1791) was probably the fifteenth child of Samuel and Susanna Wesley, his brother Charles (1708-1788) the eighteenth.When he was six, John was the last child pulled from their burning house, and was called by his mother "a brand plucked from the fire."Later, John was present at prayer services held (against her husband's wishes) in her kitchen.Susanna Wesley went to great lengths to educate and raise her children "methodically."
John graduated from Oxford in 1724, received his M.A. in 1726, and was ordained a priest in the Church of England in 1728.He spent two years assisting his father in his parish in Epworth, and then returned to Oxford to take up a fellowship.His brother Charles was by that time enrolled as an undergraduate and had formed a small group of students who met to try to deepen their faith and encourage each other to perform acts of service.This group was mocked by other students as "the Holy Club," "Bible Moths," and "Methodists."The group eventually asked John to take on its leadership.
In October 1735, John and Charles set sail to Georgia to serve the Colonial Anglicans there and to attempt to convert native Americans.The trip was not successful.He never got the chance to preach to Indians; his high church style did not go over well with the colonists; and he botched a relationship with Sophia Hopkey, niece of the colony's chief magistrate.He slipped back to England on a ship in December 1738.
On the ship to Georgia John had been impressed with the faith and courage of a group of Moravians on board.During a storm that threatened to sink the ship they calmly sang hymns and prayed.Back in London another Moravian, Peter Boehler, took John to a "society" or small group meeting on Aldersgate Street.The group was discussing Martin Luther's preface to the Epistle to the Romans.Wesley recorded in his journal: "About a quarter before nine, while he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed.I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation; and an assurance was given me that He had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death."
Wesley adopted from the Moravians many of the characteristic forms of Methodist worship and practice, their love feasts, watch night services, and hymn singing.In 1739 his friend George Whitefield invited him to preach to a group of thousands in a field near Bristol.It was highly unusual for Anglican priests to preach outside their own pulpit, and preaching outdoors was frowned upon.But Wesley finally agreed, writing in his journal, "I submitted to be more vile."The response to his sermon, including many conversions, convinced him of the usefulness of breaking out from standard Anglican practices.He started his own society in an old cannon factory dubbed "The Foundry" in 1740.Though Wesley was initially reluctant to allow women leadership roles in his movement, he later changed his mind.In 1742 Grace Murray became the band leader of the Foundry Society, and in 1752 Sarah Crosby became class leader.

A plethora of jazz/blues recordings from Telarc/HeadsUp
The Word Is Out, Jaco Pastorius Big Band
Is it possible that Jaco Pastorius' name is becoming more widely known than during his relatively short but brilliant career? A brilliant fretless bass player, Jaco did far more including composing and by forming/leading a large band, called "Word of Mouth". Here again, the word, "Word" is used in a resurrected Jaco Pastorius orchestra's album title. Pastorius died in Fort Lauderdale Florida not far from where I live. In 1981, his orchestra joined with the Peter Graves orchestra (including 14 horns) for a memorable 30th birthday concert for Jaco Pastorius. Peter Graves is the producer and conductor for this new release. Most of the compositions are Jaco's. One that is not is Blackbird by Lennon and McCartney and was on Jaco's Word-of-Mouth orchestra's first release 25 years ago! There is a real bonus here on the last track, Reza, courtesy of modern electronics such as bringing Nat Cole and his daughter together. Here the departed Jaco Pastorius is once again heard playing with the "Jaco Pastorius Big-Band"! Graves extracted Jaco's bass playing of Reza from a 24 track remote recording done on Sanibel Island, Florida 20 years ago. So, the liner notes* clearly list: Featured Guest: Jaco Pastorius-Bass!
This album is definitely big-band sound. It can range tonally from bright when featuring trumpets and alto Saxes to downright luscious when featuring trombones, flugelhorns, and baritone sax. You are privileged to get to hear almost a dozen of the very best jazz bass players and their unique styles. Remember as a bass player and composer these compositions were originally written with Jaco's bass featured and supported by a full orchestra. Many of the selections feature new arrangements. Up-tempo swing combined with a large dose of jazz-fusion forms the basis for this recording with plenty of variety. Both versions of this release feature good solid audio quality though perhaps not quite the equal of Heads Up best examples. As usual the SACD disc played as two channel was slightly, but noticeably superior to the regular two channel CD recording when compared in my reference stereo system. The bass range is not quite as tight and solidly detailed as I have heard at times with Heads Up and Telarc and when the trumpets and alto saxophones are playing loudly in their upper ranges, lower-fi systems will probably not avoid adding some harshness. There is a fine blend of many styles here, particularly the fusion of big band swing and jazz. It would be difficult to put a better large group together.
Who Let The Cats Out? Mike Stern
This outstanding production features the best and most informative liner notes (six pages of them) that I have seen in a long time. The background and information about the music and how it is played, plus information about the musicians themselves, is superbly done. Bill Milkowski wrote it and his credentials are impeccable. Buy the album, play it while reading his notes and you will be satisfied, gratified and far more knowledgeable than ever! Highly recommended almost for just the liner notes themselves—though there is much more than that. Far more, with a particularly full rich and naturally detailed audio quality this disc has become a favorite of mine when in the mood to listen to a guitar led group. The Heads Up recording label has added another feather in their collective cap with this debut album by the celebrated three-time Grammy nominated guitarist, Mike Stern. Stern composed all 11 tunes on this release and with specific musicians in mind for each and eventually it worked out as planned. There are 14 musicians spotlighted on this release, typically either five or six on each track. Bass players are represented more than any of the other instrumentalists at five. Richard Bona doubles up with vocals on two tracks. Other instrumentalists play piano, organ, synthesizer, saxophones, drums, trumpet, and harmonica. In addition to the truly excellent music making, the tunes offer a great deal of interesting variety ably augmented by a variety of similarly sized groups on each track. Things go from up-tempo swing, to straight-ahead jazz, to blues, to fusion, to simply ballads. The group sounds like a slightly smaller version of big-band jazz with a full and rich tonal balance—sometimes almost a bit too much so.
The playing and recording is mutually very sympathetic overall with a great deal of unforced realism. Mike Stern, as would be expected, is spotlighted more than the others on this audibly beautiful recording. I have two minor quibbles. The trumpet, at times sounds as if it is placed a few feet further back (too muted?) than Mike Stern and as a result it just does not quite cut through as it would in a club setting. It does not always get its due. In addition, on some other tracks the harmonica sounds even further back, as if it was at the rear of the room. That particularly bothered me as I love hearing a reasonably close-up well-recorded harmonica—same goes for the rarely recorded ocarina. Those minor quibbles are not usually found in Heads Up recordings and in all other ways this release deserves a top recommendation.
Dressed To Chill, Marion Meadows
Michael Broening wrote most of the songs on this cool recording or Broening assisted by Marion Meadows. Saxophonist Meadows is naturally highlighted, usually playing the soprano or tenor saxophone. For even greater variety, on a couple of tracks he is heard on the alto sax, flute, or bass clarinet. Broening is heard on keyboard or piano. A number of guitar players are heard on various tracks but the bass seems to be consistently by Mel Brown. There is a bit of vocals thrown in, either as a vocalist or a background group (far in the background on three tracks); one of the background singers is the rather famous Vanessa Williams. As might be expected, there is a great deal of consistency, but not repetitiveness on this new release. There is also quite a bit of interesting subtle variety apparent to attentive listeners. As expected the general musicianship is at a professionally high level. The compositions will not be familiar to most listeners but are entertaining in this album in what is probably best described as cool or fusion jazz. Dissonances or harshness are conspicuously absent here earning the title description of chill (cool) though not quite as cool (relaxed/almost easy listening) as the new release by Cyrus Chestnut also on the Heads Up label. Incidentally, like Cyrus, Marion also attended Berklee College of Music.
The sound quality is quite fine and consistently so. I was particularly impressed by the outstanding pickup of Meadows when playing the tenor saxophone-simply beautiful. There are no drawbacks and no unusual spotlighting and highlighting and all sounds are very naturally reproduced. The group is not quite as full and rich sounding as the larger Mike Stern's group previously mentioned but comes close. However, it is natural sounding and with realistically placed performers and all realistically sized. Very enjoyable listening featuring and led by saxophonist Meadows and as such it must be recommended highly.
Genuine Chestnut, Cyrus Chestnut
Cyrus is one of the younger featured artists that I have reviewed recently. I often mention famous musicians that the featured artist has performed with earlier in his or her career. In this instance, something in Chestnut's biography caught my attention and I'm simply going to repeat that information. While earning a degree in jazz composition and arranging from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, he was awarded the following. The Eubie Blake fellowship, the Oscar Peterson scholarship, the Quincy Jones scholarship, and the Basie award. What a prestigious group of awards! Cyrus says that Betty Carter significantly affected his approach to music and his iconoclastic instincts. As would be expected with a degree in jazz composition, most of the appealing melodic selections on this fine disc were written by Chestnut. Low-key variety and subtlety are definitely highlights here. Bass and drums form a trio here with Cyrus's melodic touches on piano. Percussion accents are found on more than half the tracks and very nice guitar playing is clearly heard adding variety on four tracks. The bass is picked up very clearly with natural detail. Chestnut does not try to attract attention and keeps "playing into the keys" so that nothing is lost. Everything fits into a very nice and consistent pattern on this release. The emphasis is on subtle almost background-like playing at times or reproduction usually with no emphasis or spotlighting. My notes repeat the phrase, very relaxing. All five of the players are treated equally and the overall effect or sensation of "cool" is further aided by a slightly lower than usual volume level. Raise your gain (volume) control a bit more than usual and be treated to a sound quality of exceptional fidelity, while often being downright relaxing. That has to make an absolutely top-quality recommendation that is actually even "cooler" than the above Dressed to Chill recording that I reviewed. The beauty of this release is that a kind of subtly sneaks up on you and almost engulfs you before you realize what has happened.

I have been having Botox for years with good results and no side effects. The last botox I had was with someone I noticed was a new girl and she gave me a small amt. in the side of the nose, in addition to my regular injection sites. I had headaches, followed by double vision and then my eye crossed a month or two later. Does Botox have an age limit? Thank You Barbara
After Having a Reaction to Botox, It is Safe to Ever Have Botox Again?
Doctor Answers 10
Botox and age
There is no age limit to the adminstration of neurotoxin. The amounts/units given may vary over time. I'm sorry to hear that you had these side effects, and happy to say that they are temporary. The Botox was not admistered correctly. You are not likely to have this problem with a board certified cosmetic physician.
Issue with Botox
Your issue has to do with the unwise placement and an inexperienced injector, and nothing else. I've injected Botox on people who are 18, all the way up to people in their 80s. It doesn't have a thing to do with age, but it absolutely has to do with the injector and injection site.
Reaction to Botox
You had a side effect to an unwise placement of Botox. Avoid the new girl and that area and you should be OK to continue. No age limit to Botox. Botox is like a scalpel. You can do amazing things with it but you can cause problems as well. Fortunately all the problems are temporary. Good luck!

How to avoid Botox complications
Dear Barbara -- Botox, like any other procedure, has its risks and complications. In my practice, I feel Botox has the lowest risk and rate of complications, compared to lasers, surgery, and fillers. As a patient, I recommend you seek out a Board Certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon that has been performing this treatment for several years. Make sure the physician does the injections and doesn't delegate it to anyone else on the staff. Like most things in life, there is no substitute for training and experience. Take care, Dr. Groff
Age Limit for Botox
There is no age limit for Botox. The double vision may have been caused by nonstandard placement of the Botox.
Botox and placement
It sounds like you need to follow up with the provider or just wait out the treatment. If there was just a small amount injected, it shouldn't last too long.
Reactions to Botox
The reaction you had to Botox does not at all sound like an allergic reaction, but rather related to the injector or injection technique. I highly doubt you'd have this problem again in the hands of an experienced and trained injector such as a dermatologist.
Age Limit to Botox?
There really isn't an age limit to Botox. The reason you had unwanted side effects was because you were injected improperly in the wrong locations by an inexperienced, likely unqualified injector. I have patients ranging from in their twenties to eighties having Botox injections, all of whom are happy with their results.

Florida's Catholic bishops on Wednesday urged Gov. Rick Scott "to demonstrate mercy and commute" the death sentence of inmate William Frederick Happ and give him life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Happ, 51, is scheduled to be executed the evening of Oct. 15 at Florida State Prison near Starke.
He has been on Florida's death row for 24 years. Happ was convicted in 1989 in the kidnapping, rape and murder of 21-year-old Angela Crowley of Lauderdale Lakes. He received the death penalty as well as three consecutive life sentences.
In their statement, the bishops said the Catholic church "views all individuals, even those who have caused great harm, as possessing a human dignity that is sacred and instilled in us by God."
"A respect for all human life is recognized by those around the state who will gather prior to Mr. Happ's execution to pray for his victim, Angela Crowley, and all victims of violent crimes and their families, for persons on death row awaiting execution, and for the end of the use of the death penalty," they said.
The statement was released by the Florida Catholic Conference, based in Tallahassee. It is the public policy arm of the Catholic bishops.
Catholics and other members of the community were invited to "to gather in solidarity" and prayer at various services.
The statement included a schedule of prayers services taking place Oct. 13, 14 and 15 at various locations in in the Miami archdiocese and the dioceses of St. Augustine, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Pensacola-Tallahassee, Palm Beach, and Venice. Parishes and various Respect Life offices were among the sponsors.
In the diocese of St. Petersburg, Spirit FM 90.5 WBVM, a Christian radio station in Tampa, scheduled time for prayer on the air.
"The vigils and prayer services held in each of Florida's dioceses prior to an execution demonstrate a growing sign of unity against state-sponsored killing," said Michael Sheedy, director of public policy for the Florida Catholic Conference.
"The bishops are hopeful that these activities will continue to grow, and a groundswell of those who oppose capital punishment will move our government leaders to rethink their position and take the steps necessary to end the use of the death penalty in Florida," he said.
New reports said Happ told the Florida Supreme Court on Sept. 18 he did not want to fight his execution date and asked that no one file motions or appeals for a stay of execution on his behalf.
In 1989, he was extradited to Florida to stand trial for Crowley's murder after he spent three years in a California prison on a conviction of kidnapping and robbery. While in prison, authorities found evidence that tied him to the scene of Crowley's murder in Florida, so he was extradited to that state. His first trial ended in a mistrial. His conviction came at his second trial.

A SHADOW Government minister met parents and toddlers duding a fact-finding tour of a Rowley Regis children's centre.
Lucy Powell, shadow minister for childcare and children toured the Rowley Hall Happy Faces Centre, to see the work it does to help families.
Such centres were a flagship policy of the last Labour Government and the centre, run by Health for Living was graded 'good' by Ofsted inspectors in April.
The MP spoke with families who use the centre, which provides services ranging from baby massage classes to cook-well sessions.
She also joined in with a 'stay and play' session before meeting representatives from Health for Living, which manages eight children's centres in Sandwell.
Miss Powell said: "It was really interesting to visit Happy Faces Children's Centre. I heard about all the great work they do supporting families in the area.
"The Labour Party hugely invested in children's centres and the vital work they do. The staff I met clearly do a tremendous job and the parents I talked to value this a great deal."

The July 27 episode of the WTF podcast has an excellent hour-and-a-half interview with Cheech and Chong. It turns out they had very interesting lives before they got together to form the incredibly successful comedy duo. Tommy Chong was the guitar player in a Motown-label rhythm and blues band, and Cheech Marin was a music journalist and Vietnam war protester. I imagine both of them are close to 70 years old now, but they sound exactly the same as I remember them on their LP records from the early 1970s. This was a delightful interview.

Ranchi, March 8: Deputy election commissioner of the Election Commission of India Alok Shukla was in Ranchi today to review preparations for the Lok Sabha polls.
At a meeting attended by deputy commissioners (DCs) and senior police officers at ATI, Ranchi, he said that maximum number of Form 6, used for inclusion of names in voter list, must be made available during special camps at all polling booths in the state tomorrow. The DCs, also returning officers for the elections, have been asked to complete verification of the forms within 10 days.
Stressing on the need to connect the polling booths with the EC, Shukla asked officials of the cabinet (election) department the ECs counterpart in Jharkhand to arrange for micro-observers, video cameras, still cameras, web cameras. Identify places where the voting percentage was less during the previous elections and conduct awareness drives there. Rope in self-help groups, NGOs and local artistes for generating awareness, Shukla told the officials.
The DCs were also instructed to ensure drinking water, ramp for disabled, shades and other facilities at the booths. Arrangement should also be made for power back-up.
Pointing out that media has a huge role in creating voter awareness, he directed the DCs and electoral officials to hold press conferences on every alternative day or identify an officer to do the same or release press briefs.
He also directed the officials to keep a tab on all reports appearing in the media with a special eye on paid news.
The meeting was attended by chief electoral officer (Jharkhand) P.K. Jajoria; additional chief electoral officer K.K. Soan; IG (operations-cum-nodal officer) M.L. Meena; commissioner of South Chotanagpur K.K. Khandelwal; and joint chief election officer A.K. Rao among other senior officials of the cabinet (election) department.

The controverisal 28-year-old found himself the centre of attention once again last weekend when he was stamped on by Arsenal's Alex Song and then slapped by striker Gervinho.
But Pardew, who only included transfer-listed Barton in the team last Saturday after receiving assurances about his focus, will have no qualms about throwing him in once again at the Stadium of Light.
The manager said: "In a game-plan, it would get a mention, if I am honest.
"Joey has been in the press a fair bit this week - more than Joey would have liked and more than I would have liked - but the other thing they will be focussing on is he is a very good player, of course, and they need to stop him.
"Probably that is more of a worry to [Sunderland manager] Steve [Bruce], I should think."

Chronic Drinking Disrupts Liver's Circadian Clock, Contributes to Alcoholic Liver Disease
Tampa, Fla. (September 10, 2015)—The activity of an organ in the body changes through the day and is governed by its internal clock, also known as a circadian clock. Staying on a circadian schedule is important for health, and disruptions lead to disease. Previous studies have supported that chronic drinking damages the liver by compromising the mitochondria, the site in cells where molecules that power the body's processes are made, slowing down the production of these molecules. New research presented at Physiological Bionergetics: From Bench to Bedside reports that the damage occurs because of the effects of chronic alcohol consumption on the liver's circadian clock.
In this study, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham observed that the levels of proteins involved in mitochondrial function and energy production changed cyclically in the livers of healthy mice. In contrast, alcohol-fed mice had rhythm changes, and the rhythmic cycle of one particular mitochondrial protein, cytochrome c oxidase, was completely lost. According to the researchers, the data support that liver mitochondria can adapt to changes in metabolic demands because of their internal clock. Chronic alcohol consumption disrupts the clock and makes the mitochondria less flexible and prone to dysfunction, contributing to the development of alcoholic liver disease.
Jennifer Valcin, MS, doctoral researcher at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, will present "The liver molecular circadian clock in chronic alcohol-induced mitochondrial dysfunction" as part of the symposium "Mitochondria on the Move: Networking in Health and Disease" on Thursday, Sept. 10, at 11:25 AM EDT in the Harbour Island Ballroom and at the poster session later that day from 5:30 to 7:30 PM in Terrace of the Westin Tampa Harbour Island.
This work was conducted in the laboratory and with the mentorship of Shannon M. Bailey, PhD, professor of pathology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Physiology is the study of how molecules, cells, tissues and organs function in health and disease. Established in 1887, the American Physiological Society (APS) was the first U.S. society in the biomedical sciences field. The Society represents more than 10,500 members and publishes 15 peer-reviewed journals with a worldwide readership.
Released March 23, 2017 - Statin drugs are widely used to manage high cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. But in a new review of more than 50 studies, researchers cite reductions in liver inflammation and improvements in other related factors as reasons why statins make good candidates for treating chronic liver disease. The article is published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology—Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology.
Released September 9, 2015 - A number of chronic diseases that have widespread effects on worldwide populations, such as cancer, neurodegeneration and cardio-metabolic syndromes, are known to have a connection to mitochondrial bioenergetics, the process by which cells create and use energy. "The bioenergetic health of an individual or group can serve as an early warning or the 'canary in the coal mine' to determine those with susceptibility to pathologies which stress the mitochondrion. It is clear that we urgently need new clinical tests to monitor changes in bioenergetics in patient populations," said Victor Darley-Usmar of the University of Alabama at Birmingham and organizer for the "Physiological Bioenergetics: From Bench to Bedside" conference. The bioenergetic health index has the potential to be a new biomarker for assessing patient health for both prognostic and diagnostic value.
Released May 12, 2016 - Chronic exposure to alcohol interferes with the pancreas' ability to absorb vitamin C, potentially predisposing the body to pancreatitis and other pancreatic diseases, a new study in the American Journal of Physiology—Cell Physiology reports. The findings provide a link between chronic alcohol use and poor pancreatic health.

Michael Vick got a congratulatory call from an old boss after his elevation as the Philadelphia Eagles' starting QB last week.
Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank told ESPN he called Vick after hearing the news that Eagles coach Andy Reid had promoted him on Tuesday.
"I just wanted to congratulate Michael on the promotion," Blank told ESPN. "He was very humble, very grateful. I've always told him everyone deserves a chance for redemption and this is about his life, not just the football field."
Vick played for Blank's Falcons for six seasons before his conviction on a federal dogfighting charge sent him to prison for a year and a half in 2007. Blank said he was blindsided by Vick's involvement in dogfighting.
He later wished Vick well upon the completion of his sentence but said he could not play for the Falcons again.

replacing thermal coupler
The furnace I have does not turn on, the gas is on and the guy that turned on the gas relit the pilot and said it didn't stay on, and that he thought i needed a new thermal coupler. i know nothing about furnace stuff and was wondering if this is something I can do, and how to do it. I am fairly handy around the house but haven't done any furnace work (haven't had to as of yet). The heating companies I called said it is at least 80$ just to come out.
Thanks much.
Hello bryansauer. Welcome to the Heating Furnaces forum topic and the Do It Yourself Web Site.
The thermocouple is an element that is secured into the pilot assembly where the pilot flame is. The pilot flame is heating it. The other end of the thermocouple is screwed into the gas control valve.
A thermocouple is generic except for it's length. Thermocouples are made in different lengths. Measure the removed part or take the one you remove to any hardware store and replace it with an exact duplicate in length. The parts cost is very nominal.
New thermocouple packages will contain complete do-it-yourself installation instructions and pictures. The package also contains additional clips of various assortments. None may not even be needed.
Not all the parts contained in the package with the thermocouple will be needed. The packages contain an assortment of holding parts and clips that are generic and designed to fit a wide variety of applications.
Install new T-Couple into pilot assembly exactly as the existing one is installed. Element end must be placed exactly the same height as the exiting one. Reinstall pilot assembly as found.
Gently thread nut end of T-Couple into gas control valve, starting threads by hand to insure threads will not cross thread and become damaged. Tighten nut snugly but do not overtighten. Just snugly until lightly bottoms out.
Be sure the pilot flame is all blue and no yellow. If any yellow or doubt pilot flame is correct or maybe dusty, clean it out. Blow out pilot flame & allow assembly to cool. Use can of computer keyboard canned air cleaner to blow out the entire assembly.
Relight pilot and note the result. Test the pilot again note any changes. Also be sure the T-Couple is correctly installed in the pilot assembly. Only the tip of T-Couple or about top 1/3 should be heated. Must be glowing a bright cherry red color.
If you need further assistance, use the REPLY button to add any additional information or ask additional questions after attempting the correctional method or methods offered.

i am having a bit of trouble installing this thermocoupler. i have removed the old one, however i cannot get the new one in the pilot bracket. the old one only was removed because the copper wire and end near the pilot became unattached (ie. the copper wire was probably cracked and when i moved it it just split into two pieces). then i pulled the old coupler end out as if it would be going thru the pilot flame if it was lit, but my directions said i should pull it out the other way (which i couldn't do, but didn't have to because the copper wire/coupler broke). Now, the new thermal coupler cannot be inserted up thru the pilot bracket, it is too big, and i can't make it go thru the other way becasue the end of the if has the threading unti to attach to the gas valve. anythoughts? the pilot bracket seems to not be unattachable so i'm not sure.
See if there is a nut there on the bottom of the pilot for the T/C take it out and see if it works. On the card that the T/C was on should show you how it goes in. Most fit lots of different pilots.

thermocouple replaced, furnace now working
Dear Ed and website hosts,
Thanks for the free info on what a thermocouple is and how to replace it. I replaced the one on my mom's Montgomery Ward wall furnace and it is now working great. It saved her a lot of money.

Like his countrymen in so many fields of endeavor, he was a free agent, not an agent of the state.
"Peter called agents for me, and people came to see me in that play, and I ended up getting an agent from it," she says.
From the stand, Flemmi mentioned the name of H. Paul Rico, a now-deceased FBI agent of great renown in the annals of the bureau.
"Max, [my] agent, make me rich," she says, the crowd roaring.
Later they found a Lebanese-American agent who spoke some Arabic.
His business was to act as agent for American purchasers and European dealers.
Something in the agent's attitude of literary absorption aggravated him.
The agent seemed disappointed, but he gave Nat the directions.
I was given a note of identification to the Paris agent of the bank.
On reaching the Casino he found that he would have no difficulty in seeing the agent.
late 15c., "one who acts," from Latin agentem (nominative agens) "effective, powerful," present participle of agere "to set in motion, drive, lead, conduct" (see act (n.)). Meaning "any natural force or substance which produces a phenomenon" is from 1550s. Meaning "deputy, representative" is from 1590s. Sense of "spy, secret agent" is attested by 1916.
1610s, from agent (n.).
agent a·gent (ā'jənt)
A force or substance, such as a chemical, that causes a change.
A substance that can bring about a chemical reaction or a biological effect. Compare reagent.

Neat Products and Great Web Page!
, December 05, 2012
We discovered SHS's great looking coffee mugs while on our annual Fall foilage trip to Vermont. My wife bought two. The regular size immediately became her favorite mug for coffee. Unfortunately I broke it shortly after returning home. Went to SHS's web page and found it to be very easy to use. I especially liked the ability to see the actual color of the products. I ordered six more to make sure we had a good supply! Cheers to SHS for their great looking products and easy-to-use web page.

KIEV – He has chocolate factories galore, is a self-made billionaire and has been both Cabinet minister and occasional revolutionary.
Now Ukrainian oligarch Petro Poroshenko is the favorite to become president in a make-or-break election, pledging to find a diplomatic way out of the country's crisis and put relations with Russia back on track.
Opinion polls give the 48-year-old pro-Western nationalist a resounding lead over his nearest rival, Ukraine's "Iron Lady," Yulia Tymoshenko, who is considered a much more polarizing figure.
Poroshenko has boldly proclaimed he is the man to save the day.
"I guarantee you that within three months, the situation in the east will be resolved," Poroshenko told reporters last week during a stop in Cherkasy, the main city in Ukraine's central agricultural belt.
A recent opinion poll gave him almost 45 percent of the vote in Sunday's election, not quite breaking the 50 percent threshold required to avoid a runoff on June 15.
The tall, slightly graying tycoon is one of the country's 10 richest men, with a fortune estimated at around $1.3 billion (€950 billion) by Forbes magazine, which described him as Ukraine's Willy Wonka.
A shrewd politician who has flip-flopped between governments for more than a decade, Poroshenko was the only oligarch to openly back the pro-European protest movement that ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, under whom he served as economics minister.
"Poroshenko is indeed the candidate of consensus," the Robert Schuman Foundation said in an election analysis.
Often seen handing out chocolates, or taking to the stage to denounce endemic corruption, Poroshenko became a favorite figure at Kiev's protest camp on Independence Square.
"The time when politicians lie to people is over," he said in announcing his candidacy.
His ticket was further boosted when boxer-turned-opposition-icon Vitali Klitschko decided against running for president himself and instead backed Poroshenko.
He was the only politician to fly to Crimea in a bid to negotiate with pro-Russian troops who seized parliament after Yanukovych fell, but he was angrily chased off by demonstrators.
He said he was ready to talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin but said two issues were not negotiable — Ukraine's pro-Europe direction and Crimea, which he insisted "is and will remain Ukrainian."
Having held several Cabinet portfolios and built strong links across the business community, many see him as an experienced and capable pair of hands to stem an economy in free fall and unite the country.
Analysts say he is also more palatable to the electorate than the controversial Tymoshenko, a former prime minister who was jailed for abuse of power by the ousted regime, and other less-experienced politicians.
Unlike most of Ukraine's influence-wielding oligarchs who made a killing swallowing up state assets in the chaotic years that followed the Soviet Union's collapse, Poroshenko's wealth is self-made.
He started out selling cocoa beans, buying up several confectionery plants that he later united into Eastern European candy giant Roshen, which produces 450,000 tons of sweets a year, according to its website.
He also owns companies that make cars and buses, a shipyard and opposition television network Kanal 5, which broadcast live from Independence Square at the height of the revolution that left some 100 people dead.
Poroshenko's fortune has, however, taken a hit from the current political crisis and the bitter standoff with Russia, a key market.
One of the first difficulties came last year. As Ukraine neared the signing of an EU pact fervently supported by Poroshenko, Russia banned chocolate imports from his Roshen factory.
The married father of four was born in the small southwestern town of Bolgrad and studied economics at Kiev State University.
He entered the turbulent world of Ukrainian politics in 1998 as a lawmaker for a grouping loyal to then-President Leonid Kuchma. In 2000, the oligarch was one of the founders of Yanukovych's Party of Regions.
But in 2002, he changed sides and joined forces with his close friend Viktor Yushchenko, who later became a hero of the 2004 pro-democracy Orange Revolution and ultimately ascended to the presidency.
Poroshenko played a major role in the revolution that erupted when Yanukovych won the presidency in a poll widely viewed as rigged.
Under Yushchenko, Poroshenko was foreign minister and president of the central bank.
He had a famous falling out with Tymoshenko, which resulted in both of them being fired by Yushchenko. He was accused of abuse of power over the evaluation of a state metals firm, but the probe was dropped.
And in another switch, he was appointed as economics minister by Yanukovych in 2012. Later that year, he was elected to parliament as an independent candidate and had hinted at running for mayor of Kiev before the current crisis.

Susan Langford, Brooke and Julius Locklayer, and Germaine and Bill Clements are proud of their Weymouth Falls heritage and are trying to bring more people home for the Weymouth Falls community reunion.

A new generation of organizers are looking to revitalize the Weymouth Falls community reunion.
With reunion numbers dwindling and people coming home less and less, the new younger organizers in the mostly Black community have come up with a whole new slate of promotion methods including talent shows and achievement awards in Ontario and of course, Facebook.
"Our generation is lost," said Germaine Cromwell who now lives in Alberta but stepped in two years ago when the community elders gave up organizing the weekend-long reunion. "We're out of touch with our past and where we come from.
"Once the elders and I'm talking grandmothers usually, once they pass on, the children and grandchildren don't come back – so we're facing some huge gaps and we're trying to close the gaps."
In effort to make sure more people remember Weymouth Falls and Nova Scotian Black culture in general, Cromwell and his cousins put together a brochure called "Proud to be a Nova Scotian".
The eight-page booklet describes the culture, history and geography of the province in general and Black history and culture in particular.
It of course mentions Weymouth Falls' most famous person, Sam Langford, a world-class boxer.
"That's Uncle Sam Langford," says Cromwell. "A lot of people from here have gone on to do some great things and we kind of use the reunion to highlight that, to let people know what people from here have accomplished."
On his way home from out west this summer, Cromwell stopped in London Ontario where many descendants of Weymouth Falls, including his cousin Susan Langford, are living.
They put on a talent show there, like they normally do at the reunion, they held an achievement awards and they handed out the brochure and talked to the young people about the little village in Nova Scotia.
Langford, home this year for the first time, says it's hard for a lot of people with jobs and busy lives to get home for the reunion.
"We thought, why not put on something up there, and get them talking a little," she said. "Some of them might decide to come home and but we all need to be close. We're family and family needs to be close."
Julius Locklayer came home this year from Tennessee for the second time. He came for the first reunion 17 years ago and says it changed his life.
"It gave me an identity," he said. "I know where I'm from, I found my people. It feels like home here with these people."
Locklayer and Cromwell call themselves Black Natives because they know they're descended from a mix of aboriginal, Acadian and Black bloodlines.
"People are always looking at me out west and asking where I'm from," said Cromwell. "I tell them I'm from Nova Scotia and some of them don't know that we even have Black people in Nova Scotia and they ask, okay but where are your parents from?
"And I say Nova Scotia, and they say, your parents' parents? They don't get it, they want me to say Africa or the Caribbean but I have native blood in me, we're from here."
Locklayer met his great grandmother on his first trip and this trip, he took his daughter on a hike to the grave of his great great grandmother.
Brooke Locklayer's favourite thing about Nova Scotia, besides all the warm caring family she never knew about, is all the seafood – the clams and scallops and haddock, she says.
Cromwell says the coastal food is a big part of the reunion and it was a big part of growing up there, although he didn't really appreciate it at the time.
He says it wasn't easy growing up in Weymouth Falls.
"We were brought up old old school," he said. "When my grandmother said something you did it—we were disciplined to the max.
"When I was old enough to lift up a piece of wood, I was working," he said. "When you're a teenager you rebel against that, but I learned to appreciate it; the work ethic, the discipline have helped me get through things in my life."
Cromwell thinks it's time for more people who benefitted from the close family and community up bringing to come back and help rebuild things in the community.
"First we want to build up the reunion but then we want to fix things up around here, the community centre, our churches, they are in dire straits," he said. "Those of us who are doing okay, it's time for us to chip in a little and give back."
The reunion takes place in Weymouth Falls and Weymouth this coming weekend.

Two jailed for notorious London race murder
Two white men were jailed on Wednesday for murdering a black teenager in London 1993, a landmark case which exposed the institutional racism of the capital's police in an official inquiry into the initial botched investigation.
Judge Colman Treacy ruled Gary Dobson should serve a minimum 15 years and two months and David Norris 14 years and three months for the murder of Stephen Lawrence at a bus stop, calling it an evil crime motivated by racial hatred.
Lawrence was stabbed to death in the unprovoked attack, lasting only around 10 seconds, by a gang of white youths. The trial had heard that at least three more people had been in the gang, all of whom are still at large.
The victim's parents had fought a long legal battle to bring their son's killers to justice, forcing Britons to face up to the casual racism that was still rife in an increasingly multicultural country.
A totally innocent 18-year-old youth on the threshold of a promising life was brutally cut down in the street in front of eye witnesses by a racist, thuggish gang, Treacy told a packed courtroom at the Old Bailey, London's central criminal court.
Dobson, now 36, and Norris, 35, were found guilty on Tuesday after a six-week trial that hinged on new scientific evidence presented by prosecutors.
The relatively light minimum sentences reflect the fact that Dobson and Norris were under 18 when Lawrence was murdered.
A lawyer who had previously represented the Lawrence family said the case was a watershed for British society and had echoes of the 1950s bus boycott that helped to transform race relations in the United States.
The Stephen Lawrence case was a Rosa Parks moment for British society, Matthew Ryder told BBC Radio 4.
The (subsequent) inquiry took us beyond the crude, violent sort of racism which every reasonable person would condemn and it led us towards the more subtle forms of racism and stereotyping which a lot of people previously dismissed.
The case became a catalyst for change after exposing deep-rooted failings in London's Metropolitan Police.
A 1999 report by senior judge William Macpherson said the murder had exposed institutional racism in the force and accused officers of incompetence and a failure of leadership.
The Lawrence case also helped end the 800-year-old judicial doctrine of double jeopardy, which had previously prevented suspects from being tried twice for the same crime.
Dobson was acquitted of the murder in 1996 when a private prosecution brought by the teenager's parents collapsed. The Court of Appeal quashed that acquittal in May 2011 and said Dobson could stand trial again, a decision made possible after double jeopardy was scrapped in 2005.
The bravery and dignity of the victim's parents, who were born in Jamaica and buried their son on the Caribbean island, struck a chord with families across Britain.
Nelson Mandela gave them his backing during a visit to Britain shortly after the killing in 1993.
Attention will now turn to trying to prosecute three or four other men in the gang that swallowed up and stabbed Lawrence in the brief but coordinated attack on a suburban London street.
The other people involved in the murder of Stephen Lawrence should not rest easily in their beds, London police commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe told reporters shortly before sentencing. We are still investigating this case.
