Spoken Word
"I've been in prison because of working in an African language. So how do I fight the state? How do I defy the state? By writing in an African language. My first novel in the Gikuyu language was written on toilet paper in a maximum-security prison with materials supplied for me by the state. With my teachers being the prison wardens and my fellow prisoners."
Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Kenyan novelist and critic1
"Producing knowledge is not neutral. Knowledge can be weaponized."
Trevor Paglen, artist and experimental geographer2

Developed as a joint venture of the U.S. Census Bureau and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Data Web is an exciting new tool for data access to a wide variety of demographic, economic, environmental, and health data sets from federal government agencies. Data Web includes aggregate data, time series, longitudinal sets, and microdata (raw data).
Data Web allows the user to browse and access data and extract, manipulate, or cross tabulate information to custom design reports, spread sheets, tables, graphs, and maps.
A step-by-step tutorial to the Data Ferrett (Federated Electronic Research, Review, Extraction, and Tabulation Tool) is provided in the online user's guide.
By Jennifer Snoek-Brown, Karrmann Library Reference Department
On a Family Feud episode over 20 years ago, the top five characteristics of a librarian were listed as: 1) Quiet; 2) Mean/Stern; 3) Single/Unmarried; 4) Stuffy; and 5) Wears Glasses. These stereotypical traits seem to have changed little over the years, especially in film portrayals of librarians. Perhaps the public's views have influenced film, or perhaps film has helped to cement these stereotypical characteristics-but a connection does exist between perceptions and media.
There are hundreds of examples of film librarians, and they have filled particular cinematic functions, from a small town's moral center (Bette Davis in Storm Center) to a futuristic society's keeper of secret knowledge (Soylent Green). The portrayals have also run the gamut, from numerous stereotypical representations of female and male librarians to a handful of atypical characters who lead fully developed and successful lives in and outside the library.
An upcoming feature-length documentary, The Hollywood Librarian, explores these issues, combining film and interview clips of both reel and real librarians. For more information, visit their web site.
The Karrmann Library also has resources on this topic, including the 2005 publication The Image of Librarians in Cinema, 1917-1999 by Ray and Brenda Tevis (call # PN 1995.9 .L49 T48 2005).
Editor's Note: Jennifer Snoek-Brown recently presented a poster session, "Connecting Librarians and Films: Identifying Stereotypes" at the 2006 Wisconsin Library Association Annual Conference.

Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss
Shelved on the Third Floor, General Circulating Collection PE1450.T75 2004
Women's movement or womens' movement?
Red, white, and blue or red, white and blue?
You will find answers to these kinds of punctuation questions in Eats, Shoots & Leaves. Few books dedicated to the proper use of punctuation are entertaining to read, but Lynne Truss's book accomplishes it with humour. Yes, the author is English; hence, you quickly learn that a "full stop" is a period, an "Oxford comma" is the comma that follows white (in the above example), and that she prefers calling Starburst fruit chews by their original British name&Opal Fruits.
A self-entitled stickler (a punctuation maven), Truss has written a fast-paced book on punctuation that is hard to put down. She not only gives you the origin of each punctuation mark (did you know that an Alexandrian librarian developed the first punctuation around 200 B.C.?) but she also demonstrates how good punctuation enhances the effectiveness of the written word.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the English language. It won the British Book Awards Book of the Year 2004, and the USA Today Book of the Year. It is no wonder. It's a beautifully written book, filled with language that sings:
"On the page, punctuation performs its grammatical function, but in the mind of the reader it does more than that. It tells the reader how to hum the tune."

Options for using the Home button in different versions of iOS
Apple devices, including the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad, all come with a Home button located at the bottom center of the device. This button can be used to return to the Home screen, but it also has several other hidden functions. The functions that the versatile Home button can perform vary among the versions of iOS. Here is a description of the different uses of the Home button according to iOS version.
iOS 3 and earlier versions
On devices with iOS version 3 or earlier, the Home button can be set as a shortcut to access the Favorites you have stored in the device. To access your Favorites with the Home button, go to the Home screen and tap Settings-->General-->Home-->Phone Favorites. There should now be a check mark next to Phone Favorites, and double-pressing the Home button will take you to your Favorites section.
iOS 3 and later
If you have iOS 3 or 4 on your device, you can hold the Home button down for a few seconds to turn on Voice Control, which allows you to verbally instruct your phone to call a particular person or play a particular song. If you have iOS 5, holding down the Home button activates a more advanced version of Voice Control called Siri, which is described below under "iOS 5."
People with iOS 3 or later can also adjust their settings so that the Home button can be used to turn on the Camera or Search feature. To set your Home button to perform either of these functions, go to the Home screen and tap General-->Settings. There, you should see check boxes for setting shortcuts for these features.
iOS 4
iOS 4, the second-newest version of the iOS, was released in 2010. On devices programmed with iOS 4, double-pressing the Home button launches the Fast App Switcher. When the Switcher is open, you can multitask by oscillating between apps and programs, something you would be unable to do if you had iOS 3 or earlier.
iOS 5
With the introduction of iOS 5 in 2011 came the arrival of Siri, a unique program that enables you to perform various functions on your phone by speaking verbal commands into it. On devices programmed with iOS 5, holding down the Home button for a few seconds will turn Siri on regardless of whether the device is locked or unlocked. Note that Siri must be enabled on your device in order to use it; to check that it is enabled, tap Settings-->General-->Siri. If the slider is not already in the On position, put it there.
On the iPad
Finally, the Home button on the iPad is especially versatile. On every iPad, you get to choose the function that is performed upon triple-clicking the Home key. To set your iPad's triple-click Home button functionality, open the Home screen and tap Settings-->General--Accessibility--Triple-click Home. You will be presented with a list of functions from which to choose. Select the function that you want to be able to perform by triple-clicking the Home button to set up the shortcut.

The Cosby Show and Golden Girls were up on the docket today! What a delightful way to start a Monday. Max showed us the importance of laugh tracks and 80's action television shows such as Miami Vice. It was probably one of the better ways to spend a Monday morning with the variety of all the examples Max had for us on this day. The best was when he threw on the Soprano's, because i've never watched a single episode before. It was good for me because i thought the show was way different. I learnt more manipulation in film, and how the director can try and swoon you for the bad guy by simply showing a soft side to him, contrasting his violent behaviour, and how dialogue is used and analyzed in certain situation. For example the therapist implying that she won't go to authorities and can trust her with telling him "most" things.
Thursday Dec 12 @ 12:29amCOMING NEAR THE END.
Final assignment chats. Who would've thought it would come so soon. We have the option of doing a video this year, which i am totally going to choose for my final. Documentary on the Hill family. What up. Max gave us the whats up on summary and scene and what the difference is, as well as discuss with us interactive story telling. (interactive i.e. video games.) Watching the Fallout 3 example probably made my day. Watching this man having to decide to saw off the tip of his finger so he could find the next clue? Meanwhile his next clue was under the table and if only he had simply looked under the table, his happiness would've been cut out for him.
Figuratively speaking of course.
We then did an in class activity as we presented our ideas to the class, and then watched a few more examples, and then head out the door.
Thursday Dec 12 @ 12:23amso ON THIS DAY. Max engaged our brains into the wonderful world of interactive story telling. We learnt that games can engage players emotionally by embedding the lower of a story within interactive design. Especially the core gam play design in a video game. It is hard for writing stories for video games. The bigger the video world, the weaker the story usually is. However, it is only recently that companies have hired script writers actually trained specifically for video games. Companies have gotten better at masking and putting the story together, giving gamers the illusion of freedom, but in the end, the story always snaps back to the next point on the linear scale. (The rubber band theory). Early games were also a attempting to mimic film. Through this gaming, it is possible our brains have been affected by this with our memory, but we've learned to process so many images so quick to older people, they might have a seizure.
Fact. Wanna know how a formula to make a story?
_________ wants __________
but _________
so _________ .
Thursday Dec 12 @ 12:16amFact. When interviewing, avoid one word responses and music is pretty key. It keeps the viewers attention. Reconstructions can be used in documentaries. By doing this, you can get better footage, angles, and sound for a better impact on the audience. For the in class exercising, we thought up ten questions that would best acquire knowledge of someone's past. Which is where the one word response was a negatory. Max then went on to show us that the montage, exposition, and mockumentary styles are types of documentary. And if we are looking to be comedic, we should take fictional events in the guise of documentary. Which is probably why he then led us into watching the office.
Thursday Dec 12 @ 12:09amWe started off class with a wonderful in class activity. This activity consisted of any locations we had in mind to shoot a video or make a short. Because you should always aim to shoot a video with the locations already in place. Shoot for your location, not your idea. This calls for a better video. We then watched a Beauty Day trailer which is inspiring me to go see it, it looks pretty intriguing. We then watched some low budget films, and show we should write after knowing the resources we had.
Actuality - Real life events and places
Voice Over - commentary by film maker
Interviews - People being filmed to speak directly about events.
Fact. Anyone who owns a cellular phone with a camera is capable of documenting.

I'm a fan. I know a lot about comics. I have opinions about industry news and reactions to stories. I'm here to share all that with you. I hope to learn, get recommendations and feedback from you. I'm going to keep it clean and hope you will too.
What I gain:
A creative outlet about a subject that I love, a higher profile for me and an ego boost from positive feedback and seeing my work published, and the potential to make some extra money so I never have to go on a comic book budget again.
What I lose:
This will take a significant amount of my time and I've been told to have a thick skin for the negative feedback and potentially personal attacks on my work and myself.
There are pros and cons but I feel like it's worth trying. I am following my dream and seeing where it leads. Thanks for joining me.
As you read my posts some links are to the source material and some are links to Amazon.com where you can buy a copy of the storyline I am referencing.

It's hard to believe that with today's technology, a gaming console has been created with exercise, and gaming, combined in one. Wii games, particularly Wii Fit, encourage physical movement and activity, all in the comfort of a gaming console. So, while you are playing what seems to be a pretty normal, interactive video gamne, you could actually be burning calories and getting fit at the same time.
Is this true though? Can playing an interactive video game like Wii Fit really do much to improve general fitness and wellbeing?
Perhaps the most interesting feature of the Wii Fit, is the balance board provided with the Wii Fit package. It acts as an aerobics step, a sensor for most activities and it even functions as a scale. Yes, Wii fit weighs you. On your first encounter with Wii Fit, you will undergo a simple fitness/balance test which, teamed with your age and weight, provides you with your BMI (body mass index) and fitness age. Wii then tells you whether you are in a healthy or unhealthy weight range for your age and weight.
You can program into Wii Fit the amount of weight you wish to gain/lose, and a graph is provided as a visual form of your program. Each minute you spend playing Wii Fit is tallied, and you receive bonus points according to how long you spend playing. Bonus points can unlock new activities and levels, so it acts as a motivational technique to keep you playing.
Balance is a vital component in Wii Fit games, and is taking to consideration for almost any activity you do. Article 'Can you really get fit with Wii exercise games?', written by Annabelle Robertson, and published on MedicineNet.com, quotes Cedric X .Bryant, PhD, FACSM, chief science officer of the American Council on Exercise, as saying that: "in terms of skill, balance, coordination and agility are important for our functional capabilities, but they don't equate how fit a person is,".
So is it worth investing in Wii Fit if your aim is to actually gain fitness and lose weight? Perhaps. Depending on the amount of physical activity you already do (or do not) undertake, it could be worth your while. Anything that breaks a sweat is generally doing your cardio fitness levels a bit of good.
Generally, as long as Wii Fit isn't your sole means of fitness and exercise, and as long as you don't expect drastic changes, then theres no harm in a bit of extra fitness. Even if it's all fun and games.

Chip Kelly is a rookie coach making some rookie mistakes
The great irony about the coach who likes to go fast is that he also seems to have a decent amount of patience. It is difficult to tell for sure, because Chip Kelly's fortitude was never tested at the University of Oregon the way it will be during his first season as an NFL coach.
Friday, in fact, was a new experience for the Eagles' rookie coach. A little more than 13 hours after his team's 26-16 loss to Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs, Kelly answered questions as the coach of a team sitting on a two-game losing streak. It was the first time as a head coach that he had lost consecutive games in the same season. His only other two-game losing streak was when Oregon lost the national championship game to Auburn in January 2011, then was beaten on opening day the following season by Louisiana State.
A third straight loss, to Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in the Eagles' next game, seems likely, and the last time Kelly was on a coaching staff that lost three in a row was in 2007, his first year as the Oregon offensive coordinator.
Patience may be loving, kind, a virtue, and some other things, but it has never been a lot of fun.
"I think you draw on the positives," the coach said when asked about dealing with losses. "What did you do well? And then you look at what correctable mistakes occurred in the game and address them. That's what I talked about in the locker room after the game with our guys. The people that are going to fix this right now were in the locker room [Thursday] night. It's our coaching staff and our players. We'll get together as a group and get ready [to] put a game plan to go play the Broncos."
Not sure if that's the exact words spoken by Gen. George Custer before the Battle of Little Big Horn, but the Broncos are just as heavily favored as Sitting Bull's Lakota squad, and this will not be the last time Kelly's troops will have to overcome long odds.
The giddiness that accompanied the Eagles' opening-night win over the Washington Redskins has been replaced by the reality that Kelly has a tremendous rebuilding project on his hands, which was the prevailing opinion before the season started anyway.
The coach was asked Friday about rookie right tackle Lane Johnson, the team's first-round draft pick who played well in that opening win at Washington but has struggled in the two games since.
"We just have to continue to grow him," Kelly said. "One thing I know about Lane that we love about him is that he very rarely makes the same mistake twice. So part of this game is that you're a by-product of your experience. Lane's experience so far is three regular-season games and a handful of snaps in the preseason."
Those same words fit Kelly's personal situation. The coach has had his own growing pains since that exuberant win at FedEx Field. He didn't know he could use a timeout to keep a banged-up Vick in the game at a crucial point during the loss to the San Diego Chargers, and he went for a two-point conversion in the first quarter of Thursday night's game when an extra point would have been just fine.
"If you get a chance to steal a point here or there, in the long run, it can really benefit you," the coach said. "That's always been our philosophy. Does it mean we're going to do it all the time? No, I think you pick and choose it."
Kelly said a missed assignment prevented the Eagles from getting the two points, but that's the explanation for most foiled plays. It doesn't change the fact that if the Eagles had lost by one point instead of 10, that two-point conversion would have been the main story instead of a sidebar.
It was an aggressive miscalculation that might have given the Eagles momentum if it had gone the other way. Reid's first playoff run was triggered by an onside-kick recovery on a searing hot opening day against the Dallas Cowboys.
On the other hand, when would haves and could haves start to pile up, it's never a good sign for the head coach.
For now, however, patience and serenity are the proper way to proceed for the coach, his team, and the fans.
Kelly was asked if he was still in the process of learning what does and does not carry over from his days of dominance at Oregon. He said going for a surprise two points did not fall into that category.
"It's not a tactic that worked at one level, but doesn't at another level," Kelly said. "I know whether you play Pop Warner football, high school football, college, or the NFL, if you don't block your guy at the point of attack, he's probably going to make the tackle."
Kelly seemed to miss the point literally and figuratively in this case, but he wasn't about to apologize for what happened.
He did apologize for one thing Friday. His cellphone went off in the middle of his news conference, which caused the man in a hurry to stop everything.
"I have no idea what's going on right now," he said, then smiled and sheepishly pulled his NFL Network cap over his face.
Rookie mistake.

Twitpic: Jenna Sauers' "small cash fan."
Against all better judgment, I waited in negative five degree temperatures for two hours last night to get into the VMan party. We arrived at 11:00pm and the venue was already over-capacity, with at least 150 people outside clamouring to get in. I joined the queue. I waited with photographer Inez van Lamsweerde, Calvin Klein menswear designer Italo Zucchelli, scores of male models and Kiwi writer Jenna Sauers – the bouncers were democratic in their refusals. Kanye West walked straight in at about 12:05am, but you can't turn down the cover model (see below). At 1:00am, with chilblains and severe cases of hypothermia, we gave up. Later that night, Jenna Sauers – who had gotten in – tweeted the following: "Um. I take back any criticism, implied or otherwise, of the VMan party. Kanye is here, and they just blew $1 bills through the air." Later, "I made $21. Enough for a small cash fan." And then this morning, "Cannot f***ing believe Kanye West VMan party. Feel it must've been a hallucination, but here I am with real singles and a real hangover." The moral of that story is: FML.

ProsEngine performance ConsDuct tape and strips of felt to keep interior together
98' Mercedes-benz Ml320 — Interior tended to fall apart. Great car but Mercedes could do way better. 6 cylinder engine was very powerful for its size but it got the same mileage as the 8 cylinder models. Bose stereo sounds incredible but the stock subwoofer causes dash and door panels to come apart even when turned down, even when brand new! This happened so often with the SUVs that the service guys at the dealership had to come up with ways on their own to keep the car together. | ||

Haddaway Appointed to Task Force (Annapolis, MD) - Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio has been appointed to serve as House of Delegates representatives on an Eastern Shore Task Force on Foster Care. The Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates, who was responsible for the appointment, made the announcement last week. The Eastern Shore Task Force on Foster Care was created through legislation that Haddaway introduced during this year's legislative session (House Bill 397). The task force was created in response to the fact that many of the Shore's foster children are being placed on the Western Shore or in other states due to lack of homes. |
Haddaway stated that it was her service on the Foster Care Resource Board for the Talbot County Department of Social Services that gave her the idea for the legislation. "The Foster Care Resource Group came up with several great ideas to address this issue. I felt that the best way to explore their ideas would be through a task force," she said. "I am confident that by bringing all of the stakeholders together, we can provide our foster children with the loving homes they deserve." Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio is a state representative for District 37B, which includes Talbot County and a portion of Dorchester, Caroline and Wicomico Counties. Delegate Rudy Cane is a state representative for District 37A, which includes Dorchester and Wicomico Counties. |

Haddaway & Norris Meet with (Annapolis, MD) - Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio recently met with a delegation from the Republic of Kazakhstan to discuss issues on foster care and international adoption. A former member of the Soviet Republic, Kazakhstan borders Russia and China. Representatives from their parliament attended including a senator from the upper house, and a representative from the lower house, which is referred to as the Majilis. |
A portion of the meeting was spent discussing the Hague Convention, a treaty that sets policies and procedures for international adoption. While the United States has signed the Hague Convention, they have not yet ratified it. The intent of the treaty is to give protections to children, birth parents and adoptive parents and to prevent child abuse and human trafficking. The group also discussed methods used in Maryland and in the United States to monitor adoptive parents. This issue is particularly important to Kazakhstan right now because they have over 80,000 orphans in their country. "It was very enlightening," Haddaway said. "We really had a good exchange of ideas on these issues and it is clear that, despite the difference in our nationalities, we all have one common goal – to protect our children and provide them with loving homes." Haddaway also added that she was grateful to have her friend and constituent Julia Norris of America World Adoption with her. "Julia was able to provide us with information and insight that was essential to our discussion. It always helps to have someone who is knowledgeable and has professional experience guide the conversation." America World Adoption Association is a Christian based, non-profit organization dedicated to helping families adopt children from around the world. The organization is run with the adoptive family at heart and has adoption programs with Russia, Ukraine, China, El Salvador, Kazakhstan and Ethiopia. Founded in 1994 America World's corporate office is located in McLean, VA., but there are also 16 affiliate offices, including one in Easton, Maryland. Julia Norris has been with America World since 1999 and is currently the Public Relations Manager in the Maryland office. For more information, please contact her at 866-698-9063 or send email to email@example.com. Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio is a state representative for District 37B, which includes Talbot, Dorchester, Caroline and Wicomico Counties. She has been an advocate for Maryland's foster care children and recently introduced a bill to establish a foster care task force for the Eastern Shore.

Maryland's Budget Crisis Delegate Jeannie Haddaway was part of a team of Republicans that offered an amendment to the budget. This solution would have reduced spending while still allowing for retirement enhancements, COLA increases for state employees and more corrections officer positions. Most importantly, the reduced spending would have eliminated the need to raid the Rainy Day Fund or raise taxes. Instead of embracing this fiscally and socially responsible approach, the amendment was rejected. The House of Delegates instead chose a head in the sand approach and has put off all tough budget decisions until next year. According to Haddaway, this year alone there were 31 bills in the House of Delegates that would have raised taxes in some fashion - from increases and expansions in the sales tax to additional property taxes. "I can only imagine the massive tax increases on the horizon," Haddaway said. "I believe that Maryland citizens are taxed enough and I will continue to hold the line." If you are interested in receiving budget updates by email during future legislative sessions, please email us! |

The Associated Press
BOSTON – Harvard President Drew Faust said Thursday that athletes should not be singled out for blame in what is believed to be the largest cheating scandal in the school's history. Nor are they being treated any differently in the investigation, she said.
Pedestrians walk through a gate on the campus of Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. Thursday, Aug. 30, 2012. Dozens of Harvard University students are being investigated for cheating after school officials discovered evidence they may have wrongly shared answers or plagiarized on a final exam.

In Feb. 10, 2012, file photo, Harvard's Kyle Casey (30) celebrates after he scored against Penn in the first half of an NCAA college basketball game in Philadelphia. Casey plans to withdraw from school amid a cheating scandal that also may involve other athletes, according to several reports. Sports Illustrated and the Harvard Crimson reported Tuesday that Casey, a senior, would withdraw in an attempt to preserve a year of eligibility once the issue is resolved. (AP Photo/H. Rumph Jr, File)
"It is not about one student group," Faust said in a telephone interview. "It's not confined to any one student group."
In her first interview on the subject since the school revealed that as many as 125 students in a single class may have shared answers on a final exam, Faust said the "allegations go to the core of what is most valuable to us."
Harvard announced last month that it was investigating similarities in the answers that more than 100 students submitted on an open-book, take-home final.
Federal privacy laws prohibit the school from identifying the students or even the class, but published reports have said the class is an upper-level government class called "Introduction to Congress," and that several of the students are athletes.
The Harvard College Administrative Board, known to students as the "Ad Board," is investigating. Jay Harris, the school's dean of undergraduate education, has said the likely outcomes range from exoneration or a simple admonishment to a requirement that the student take a year off.
"It will, I expect, exonerate some number of these students," Faust said from New York, where she was attending a premiere for the PBS documentary based on her 2008 book, "This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War."
"The process itself, and our fidelity to this process -- which transcends this incident ... that process is operating here," she said. "And it's consistent with how it is always executed, and it is meant to affirm a set of standards we uphold for all our students."
The Harvard Crimson school newspaper said at least one student had been told to expect a decision by November, at the latest. But that timetable poses a special problem for athletes, who would lose a year of eligibility if they had enrolled in school or started their season before withdrawing.
Sports Illustrated reported on its web ite this week that basketball co-captain Kyle Casey had decided to withdraw rather than endanger his eligibility; the Boston Herald reported that fellow captain Brandyn Curry had also decided to take a year off.
Long considered one of the top academic institutions in the nation, earning at least a share of first place in the U.S. News & World Report this week for the fifth consecutive year, Harvard's athletics have also been rising to the top. The football team won the Ivy League title last year, and the men's basketball team reached the NCAA basketball tournament for the first time in 46 years.
In her freshman convocation when the Class of 2016 arrived on campus last week, Faust reminded the students that they will benefit not just from the outcome of their work at Harvard but also by the work itself.
On Thursday, Faust reaffirmed that no academic compromises had been made in the interest of athletic success.
"Their experience at Harvard is in large part defined by the work they do," she said. "Any kind of success and achievement is necessarily tied to the integrity of that work."

TULSA - According to experts, fires like the recent ones that ripped through apartment complexes in midtown Tulsa and Mannford might be preventable.
Heaters played a role in both fires, according to officials.
For Darrell Hilligoss, a dip in temperature means a rise in business.
As service manager for Air Solutions Heating & Cooling, Inc., Hilligoss spends a lot of time checking residential heating systems.
"People take it for granted. They go to the thermostat, flip on the heat and the heat should come on," he said.
Hilligoss said it's often not that simple.
"Dirty filters actually cause you a lot of problems," he said.
Hilligoss said fire is always a major concern. Fire may be an even bigger concern for many after this week.
On Monday night, a blaze gutted a Mannford apartment complex. Fire investigators ruled the cause as a malfunctioning water heater.
A heater also played a role in a midtown Tulsa apartment fire on Tuesday night.
Hilligoss said the incidents, while tragic, can be important reminders for everyone.
Because there are multiple ways for fires to start, Hilligoss said homeowners and landlords should have their heating systems inspected by a licensed professional on an annual basis.
"They've all got to be up to date and they should be checked every year, your hot water tank and your furnace," said Hilligoss.
Hilligoss said it's especially important for older heating systems to be inspected.
"Just to make sure the heat exchanger is fine, the vent pipe is not rusted," said Hilligoss.
ONG offers a $30 rebate to customers who get their heating systems inspected annually.

After a period of economic decline, Miami's Overtown is getting a booster shot.
On Thursday, the city's Southeast Overtown / Park West Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approved a joint plan that would cede two city blocks to a team of developers in the hopes of rejuvenating a stretch of land in one of Miami's core neighborhoods.
In the city of Coral Gables, you can't paint the exterior of your home unless the color is pre-approved by the city's Board of Architects, otherwise you'll need to:
Joel Hitchman, a plans coordinator assistant for the Board Of Architects, said they receive about two to four applications a week and that about 90 percent of them get approved.
Broward's Inspector General has found that Hallandale Beach officials "grossly mismanaged" millions of dollars in public funds "entrusted to the care of its Community Redevelopment Agency," according to a report obtained by BrowardBulldog.org.

Already I'm hungry and fixing for my caffeine.
My $23 challenge stared at 7 a.m., the usual time my four-year-old daughter wakes me up. With only $4.60 a day, I can't afford to brew my regular Bustelo express blend of coffee -- which I had started doing at home weeks ago to avoid the $1.89 tall coffee that I was buying everyday. That still happens some days, but not this week.
I'm already down to $19.51 since I had eaten a banana that was about 30 cents and I cracked open orange juice I paid $3.29 for yesterday. I think I can stretch the juice four more days and there are four more
bananas so breakfasts are covered all week.

Resident Evil 6 goes gold and a new video gets released for Resident Evil.Net
It's official: Resident Evil 6 won't be suffering any last minute delays whatsoever. The game is right on track for release on October 2nd with Capcom confirming today that it's gone gold. No PC release date was revealed yet. What was revealed, though, is a new video showcasing the game's robust free online service, Resident Evil.Net.
The new video shows you everything you need to know about the service, which is set to launch on the same day the game does. I think this is a brilliant way of enhancing the game's replay value, and I can already see myself being being glued to my phone checking for any updates on the service's mobile app. Things are going to get competitive!
Oh, and it looks like one of the Mercenaries costumes for Leon, that you'll be able to unlock by exchanging RE.Net points, will be similar to Salazar's outfit. Hell. Yeah.

For Whirlpool Dryer Repair Kit (27 Inch Wide Dryers, Thin Twins) (Part Number: AP3109602)
Kenneth G. for Model Number 110.66922501
Answer Hello Kenneth. It sounds like the felt seals 280114 and the rollers W10314173 are bad and will need to be replaced.
Was this helpful?
1 Answer
Chris for Model Number 11085872401
Answer Hello Chris. Yes, if the rollers are bad, it will cause the unit to be very noisy.
Scott for Model Number WED64005W0
Answer Scott, Part number 4392067 will work for your model number.
Mark for Model Number whirlpool duet dryer electric no steam
Answer Hello Mark. It may be the tension pulley making the noise on the unit. You will need to locate the part making the noise and go from there on the repair. Sometimes this is difficult to do due to the face you need to run the unit with the front panel removed.
Lanny for Model Number Whirlpool Duet dryer
Answer Hello Lanny. Yes, you will need to replace the rollers and the roller supports on the unit.
Joel for Model Number 3952874
Answer Hi Joel, it is probably easier than you think but the applications vary depending on the model so please submit your model number and we can help you with instructions. The model number is either on the back near the top or inside the door. Sometimes you will find it on the side of the unit near the front. Thanks!
Dawson for Model Number WED9200SQ0
Answer Hello Dawson, A belt 661570 normally won't just break. A dryer belt breaks because the drum opposes rotation and the motor slips in the belt, wearing it out. You don't have to replace all of the parts in there, but you do have to spin the wheels, (idler wheel 279640 and drum rollers W10314173), and any of them that oppose rotation have to be replaced to prevent the belt from breaking again.
J.r. for Model Number 110.77087600
Answer J.R, according to your appliance model number the dryer repair kit that the manufacturer supplies for this unit is part number 4392067. This will work on your product. Thanks!
J.r. for Model Number Kenmore Dryer - Oasis - Model 110.77087600.
Answer Hi J.R. The thin twin is just a name for the 27" Washer / Dryer (twin) Model. They match in the smaller size. The kit you ordered is fine. When you have the inner drum removed hand rotate each roller and see if the roller shafts part # W10359272 are squeaking or if the idler assy. part # W10547292 needs replaced. It is usual that the roller shaft closest to the heater assy. will dry out and be noisy. The blower wheel is unique in this model that instead of it mounted vertically, it is under the center of the drum and is encased in a horizontal casing driven by a separate motor part # 8544775. Sometimes the blower wheel will have something stuck inside it and has made the blower wheel needing replaced part # 8544737. Thank You.
Fred for Model Number GGW9250-PW3
Answer Hello Fred. The dryer drum rides on felt seals. They are not completely sealed. Especially where the duct is long, crimped or stopped up, the lint, heat, and moisture will blow past the drum seals. The bushings are impregnated with a dry lubricant. This is what we are told by the manufacturers. Any other questions pertaining to the impregnation of lubricant into the bushing material should be directed to the manufacturer. Since they made them, I assume they would be able to explain the manufacturing process. Second part of the question: There are 2 "triangle clips" for each drum roller, (One on either side of each roller). One "triangular clip" Keeps the idler wheel from dropping off of the idler pulley shaft. The washer is for the idler pulley. It keeps the idler pulley from wearing through "triangular clip". If there is any more questions, please be sure to contact us! Hope you have a great day!

"He who knows best knows how little he knows" -Thomas Jefferson
As a freelancer, you know there is always, always someone willing to do your job cheaper. As a writer, there's almost always someone willing to do your job for free.I've had this fear that someday, companies will start paying freelancers such low amounts no matter the quality of work that it simply wouldn't be a sustainable career choice (or for a more extreme view, just get those people willing to do it for free). Is this a rational view of the creative industry?Standard page rates in the comics industry haven't gone up in years. In some places, they've actually been rolled back. That's the reality of being a freelancer in a floundering market.
Art and comics!
"I'm much more likely to pick up a comic because of who drew it, rather than who wrote it."
Same, also completely agree about the quality of writing versus other mediums. I think comics are giving the best overall content and variety of anything out there.
NIce article. John Carter Marz would have been EPIC.
Deserted Island Book: I'd go with Action Comics #1. a 2 million dollar comic might be incentive for someone to try to rescue me.
I may have to hunt down that samurai book, looks like it might be my thang.
John Carter Marz made me want to run around the office telling everyone how clever that would be... until I realized that no one here knows who either John Carter of Mars or Ron Marz is.
Desert Island comic: New Mutants Special Edition
Chris Claremont & Art Adams spin a wonderful tale of the young mutants in the various realms of Asgard. Awesome!
I would definitely pick up both Dr.'s Strange and Fate if you were to write them, Mr. Marz!
