Least resistance path to home repair
December 29 2006
Earlier this week, I began what I expected to be a simple task -- fix a doorbell that was not ringing. I started with the most logical search -- "how to repair a doorbell". The first challenge presented itself in Google's search results -- I read seven of the ten links on the first page, and found seven different approaches to the problem. There were even different approaches to the "how to". The simplest told me exactly what to do -- test the button first, then the connections, then the transformer, then the chime. But I was amazed at how complex a purportedly-simple task could be:
Problems with doorbells are usually easy to diagnose and easy to repair. Don't call a home repair professional if your doorbell is broken. ...Yeah, ok.
Simply remove the cover of the doorbell, and test the doorbell with a neon test lamp by placing the probes against the terminals. If the voltage tester lights up your doorbell is unsafe. The push button is receiving too much voltage, and the transformer will require replacement.
I took a more basic approach. I removed the cover from the doorbell button, disconnected one wire, and put it in contact with the other. I knew enough that if that worked, it meant the button was broken, and if it didn't, it meant something in the chime was broken. When it didn't work, I moved on to the next logical step in the process. I went to Home Depot and bought a new wireless doorbell unit for all of $14. This was a far easier choice than trying to figure out clappers, grommits, unlabelled circuit breakers, and multitesters. And I never had to consult the pages of my other google search, "how to install a doorbell".
Score one for the wonders of modern technology.

Ah the wonders of our modern throw away society...don't repair - buy new (and dig another landfill).

Touche, Mr. Williams. I did -want- to repair it, but my suspicion is that the transformer was burned out, anyway. Given that, I was essentially buying new one way or another...

So, when you decided to use the wireless doorbell unit, did you have to search for "how to UNinstall a doorbell" to get rid of the other one? ;-)
Actually, what would be funny is if all the people on your street all had wireless doorbells. You'd never know which house you were ringing when you pressed the button.

@3 Julian, I believe the wireless doorbell has a transmitter code, the package said something about 60 different codes. Presumably (though maybe not!), the factory pre-sets them randomly.
You're right, the uninstall procedure is not documented -- thankfully I didn't have to call support. :-P

There's another piece of the puzzle you missed: the wiring. Doorbells are usually wired with 18 or 20 gauge solid wire, which gets a little brittle as it ages. Since you live in an older home I'd be willing to bet that's where your problem is.
One thing I dislike about the wireless doorbells is you have no way of knowing when the battery is going dead until it just stops working. Also, since the remote is battery powered and outside, a few especially cold nights can kill the remote.

@5: The factory may very well preset them randomly, but the Murphy law will make sure that your neighbour gets the exact same doorbell with exact same code for Chrsitmas!

Or course Andy Porter was in the same scenario back in September. { Link }
@6 - My wireless doorbell, which I amusingly installed only last week as my wired one was playing up, has a little LED on the push button.
When the battery is dying, it flashes to warn you.
I bought the exact same model as Ports.

Now that's nifty. I would still be concerned about the effect of the cold on the batteries, especially if I lived in somewhere as cold as Chicago. (Not that I ever *would*, but if I did, I would be concerned. :P )

So, my home used to have a wired system, now none. However, the transformer is still "transforming" as I can hear it in the wall behind where the front door doorbell button used to be. Should it be disconnected if I can reach it?

Frustrated with wireless | 12/20/2007 11:27:29 AM
I have a wireless door bell and it is horribly inconsistent. The other day I thought it was working just fine and then it wouldn't ring altogether. We actually thought it had something to do with the range and bought an extender, but we're still having problems. Can anyone help?

The 24-hour urinary aldosterone excretion rate test measures the amount of aldosterone removed in the urine in a day. Aldosterone is a hormone released by the adrenal gland that helps the kidney control salt and potassium balance.
See also: Blood aldosterone test
Aldosterone - urine
A 24-hour urine sample is needed.
For an infant, thoroughly wash the area around the urethra. Open a urine collection bag (a plastic bag with an adhesive paper on one end), and place it on the infant. For males, place the entire penis in the bag and attach the adhesive to the skin. For females, place the bag over the labia. Diaper as usual over the secured bag.
This procedure may take a couple of attempts -- lively infants can move the bag, causing the urine to be absorbed by the diaper. Check the infant frequently and change the bag after the infant has urinated into it. Drain the urine from the bag into the container provided by your health care provider.
Deliver it to the laboratory or your health care provider as soon as possible upon completion.
Your health care provider may tell you to stop taking drugs that may interfere with the test.
Other factors that can affect aldosterone measurements include:
Avoid coffee, tea, and cola during urine collection. Your health care provider will usually recommend that you eat no more than 3 grams of salt (sodium) per day for at least 2 weeks before the test.
The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort.
The test is done to see how much aldosterone is released into your urine.
Results depend on:
Normal values vary from lab to lab. Talk to your doctor about your specific test results.
Greater than normal levels of aldosterone may be due to:
Lower than normal levels may indicate Addison's disease.
There are no risks.

Psychotherapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Topic Overview
Psychotherapy may be effective for people who have severe pain caused by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Psychotherapy involves talking with a mental health professional about emotional and psychological problems that may trigger symptoms of IBS. Religious or spiritual advisers may offer similar help. Family therapy and support groups also may help in the treatment of IBS.
Psychological treatment methods may be more effective if used along with other treatments, such as diet modification, stress reduction, and sometimes medicine. People with symptoms of IBS who may have success with these treatments include people who have:1
- Diarrhea and pain as their main symptoms.
- IBS symptoms related to psychological triggers, such as depression, anxiety, or a history of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.
People who do not think that psychological factors play a role in triggering their symptoms may not respond to psychotherapy. Also, people who have constipation and abdominal bloating as their main symptoms may not respond to psychotherapy as well as those who have diarrhea and pain.

In the case of Thoroughbred nicking theory it is often literally true that success breeds success. Those of us who have been looking at Thoroughbred pedigrees for any length of time will note that as a stallion starts his career he is mated -- especially in this era of larger books -- to a wide variety of broodmare sire lines. It is almost like stallion managers take the approach that if a wide enough net is cast, they will catch something!
Invariably however, if the stallion breeds true to his sire line, the progeny that excel are usually from the broodmare sire lines that his own sire had success with. It is rare to find a successful stallion that does not have at least some positive correlation to the broodmare sire lines that his own sire nicked well with.
While it is one thing to identify a strong nick early in a stallion's career, it is another to sustain it. The challenge is especially difficult when the stallion is mated subsequently to a disproportionate number of mares from the broodmare sire line that he has previously had success with. From a statistical viewpoint at least, considering true opportunity by counting the number of times that the cross has actually been tried, you may end up with the nick rating being depressed over time if it is not a case of true affinity.
In North America, a good example is the Taylor Made stallion Unbridled's Song (TrueNicks,SRO) . Early success with mares by the likes of Buddha (TrueNicks,SRO), Magnificent Song, etc, has seen the stallion mated to a large number of mares by Storm Cat and his sons. Indeed there are now 82 foals bred on the direct Unbridled's Song/Storm Cat nick. When you consider that this is 8% of all the foals that Unbridled's Song has ever had it is quite a number. (And one that is likely to continue to increase as Storm Cat mares have high commercial value, and Unbridled's Song is a top-choice stallion from a commercial sense.) Thankfully, to date the nick has withstood the pressure, producing nine stakes winners -- a proportion higher than Unbridled's Song has done with all other broodmare sire lines and also better than Storm Cat mares have done with all other sire lines. It is just a solid nick.
We also note with interest that the reverse is also doing well. Hold Me Back recently joined Alpha Kitten, Etched, and Meal Penalty as stakes winners by sons of Storm Cat out of Unbridled's Song mares, giving us further confidence that the sire line affinity is indeed going to withstand the test of time.
Moving to Australia, we note that the Redoute's Choice (AUS) filly Allez Wonder (AUS) became yet another stakes winner (number 13 to be precise) for Redoute's Choice out of a Sir Tristram-line mare March 22 when she was the surprise winner of The Illawarra Mercury Keith F Nolan Classic. Redoute's Choice now has stakes winners out of mares by Zabeel (NZ) (3), Marauding (NZ) (2), Military Plume (NZ) (2), Dr. Grace (2), Sovereign Red (NZ) (1), and Sir Tristram himself (3). There is no doubt that in years to come he will receive a lot of mares by Sir Tristram and his sons and we are willing to bet that this nick also withstands the pressure of its own success.
Filed under: Recent Winners, Emerging Nicks
Dont forget the breeding of Cee's Tizzy and Cee's Song.. a perfect match that produced stakes winners
The more inbreeding the better eh!?
Not to mention that champions look like good nicks because... they've already won.
I'm not sure about "the more inbreeding the better.." but in general, inbreeding to or through related strains around the fourth and fifth generations avoids the risks of very close inbreeding, while bringing more predictability based on multiples of related strains further back in the pedigree.
There is no one way to breed a great horse, however, and they can be as inbred as Coronation V (2 x 2 to Tourbillon), or as outcrossed as Secretariat (free of inbreeding at five generations).
Not all Champions are the products of successful nicks - which are more often than not due to some inbreeding or linebreeding factors - but there is a considerable tendency for them to be bred on nicks that were also successful before the Champions arrived.
There are no certainties in Thoroughbred breeding, but there are observable tendencies and trends, and it it certainly pays to follow, and where possible, anticipate these.
Alan, how would you compare Coronation who you noted as tightly bred to the outcrossed Secretariat in their ability to transmit their capacity (i.e. stamina, speed, vigor) to their off-spring?
I do know that Secretariat was a very inconsistent getter of physical type, even among his best (for example Risen Star and Lady's Secret). I think as far as performance, he was also frequently somewhat dominated by his mares. He has become a great broodmare sire of sires (A.P. Indy, Storm Cat, Gone West, etc.). In part this is possibly due to x-chromosome related factors from his dam, who was a great producer.
Coronation V had a blocked fallopian tube, and never produced a foal. Her sister, Ormara, was dam of Locris (by Venture VII, by Relic). He won the Prix Jean Prat, a group I level race, and was later a successful sire in Brazil. She's ancestress of a number of other good winners. One would certainly expect a very closely inbred horse to breed on more consistently than an outcross, both in type and aptitude.
I am getting to the conclusion after studing a lot of pedigrees and sires, that when a horse has a unique capacity based on a Characteristic transmited by his damsire (Secretariat, Princequillo) he is not going to reproduce himself in his sons, as the are not going to receive the female influence of the Xsex cromossome. When he delivers daughters, some would expres the X of the damsire and some the x of their own madam, so as an average only 50% of the females would expres it and only a 25% of the progeny.
The X factor is one of theese qualities. The only way for Secretariat to repeat his ability in his male progreny was to cover mares carring at least one Xcromossome so that the product could be large hearted as Secretariat. It is not a casualty that both General Assemby and Risen Star were from mares carrying the X factor.
As Alan says, the is not a written rule for everything but observation can help. This example of Secretariat happens also with Dancing Brave.
Regards and sorry for my english (I am from Spain)
Unbridled's Song produces alot of offspring that have constant soundness problems. As long as they're fast, that's what matters. I'm sure this stallion will be around for a long time to pass on his soundess issues to many generations to come. This horse had to run the derby in a bar shoe because of his serious soundess issues and they're breeding mares to him. The future definitely contains much tradgedy when an unsound stallion is selected as the epitome of perfection and breed to him if you want a winner, or more like an unsound thoroughbred who may not make it back to the barn after a race. The problem with this industry is it doesn't learn from past mistakes. Push for sound, healthy breeding stallions, not the unsound, and especially the ones that don't last long on the track because they're always getting injured, geld them because they are what is considered soft-boned and the breed doesn't need that and the general public doesn't need to witness what happens to many soft boned race horses on the track.
I think that is a huge over-simplification in the analysis of Unbridled's Song. The foot problem was not an inherited issue, and could have been taken care of over time, but he was on a program to get him to the Derby. I don't hear any complaints about the feet of his offspring.
What is really happening is that trainers are just starting to learn not to press on them too early. They have precocity in terms of ability, but they are not really ready to press on early.
Unbridled's Song himself races a near Champion at two, ran eight times at three, including two grade one wins (bad foot and all), and was a stakes winner again at four in his only start, so he wasn't that fragile.
Plenty of his offspring have won good races as older horses too, including Thorn Song, Splendid Blended, First Defence, Political Force, Even the Score, Domestic Disputed, Eurosilver, Honest Man - actually of his best, more won good races as older horses than didn't. Incidentally, his best runners from his shuttle crops in Australia have made huge numbers of starts, the top three have 60, 65, and 70 starts.
I also believe that it's a lot easier to start with brilliance and breed in soundness, that to start with soundness, and to create brilliance.
As far as unsoundness goes, wasn't Eight Belles by Unbridled's Song? Didn't she have a problem? What about Old Fashioned? Isn't he also a son of Unbridled's Song? Isn't he also now out of the Derby due to a slab fracture (which has been fixed, hopefully)? I see some kind of pattern here, or maybe just looking for ghosts?
Add Dunkirk as the latest UBS to suffer a set back.
ALAN,If you had owned Secretariat what mare bloodline would you have bred him to.He had some decent male offspring which included General Assembly,Risen Star,and Tinners Way.D.Wayne Lucas said he would have bred Secretariat to the fastest mares he could find.People always remember his Triple Crown Races but forget he was also a grass champion as well.He was so unique.Also I feel that their is a huge question mark that still hangs over the validity of nicking patterns especially when one gets to the third and forth generation in a horses pedigree.

Very clean. Nice and helpful staff. Good location, next to Metro. The only thing that bothered me was the lamps (!) which, in combination with the green colour in the room, created a somewhat...very green-hospital-not very cosy-ish-mileu. Change the lamps and I'll stay here whenever I'm Barcelona :)

I have found there are a lot of materials that are broken in v14 when used as bump. Such materials as combiners are not working. They will look fine in preview but will not render in final. The only materials I am finding that will render bump in final render are darktree and enhance AM materials.
Just wanted to give anyone a heads up on this incase you are finding your models looking wrong in your testing of v14.

Before & After
August 29th, 2008It seems Sweaty Betty has their very own celebrity… Peruse the latest issue of Real Living and you will find none other than our resident model- AKA Sophie "Full page Spread" Brookes!
Looking fab, Sophie graces the pages of Real Living (http://realliving.ninemsn.com.au/) with a new 'Choppy Chic' do in a before & after haircut story. Even Sophie's 'Before' photo defies the usual trend which usually make one appear a tad sad and gloomy- perhaps this is because Sophie knew she was about to be transformed by world renowned hair stylist- Renya Xydis (http://www.renyaxydis.com.au/).
So move over Rachel Aniston- 'The Rachel Cut' is ancient history, ladies everywhere will now be asking their hairdressers for the 'Choppy Chic' do – a la Sophie style!

Lt Gov Owen is the worst politics have to offer. He is under investigation on ethics violation and has been getting a free ride from the tax payers for too long.

Christmas is a time to appreciate the orange. What's the orange, you ask? Let's find out.
Frankie's parents, Pat (guest star Marsha Mason) and Tag (guest star Jerry Van Dyke), are coming to stay at the Heck house for the 12 days of Christmas. According to Mike, that's about eight days too long. Now, we all know that grandparents tend to spoil their grandchildren with treats. The kids love it. The parents…not so much.
Frankie pleads with her mom to stop giving out so much fudge. Pat doesn't listen and her youngest child pays the price. When Mike wonders why his wife is reaching behind the furniture with a cloth, Frankie says, "Brick ate too much fudge. The poor kid just crawled behind the chair like a cat and barfed." As for Tag, he's driving Mike crazy. He's constantly pestering him to be part of the annual family Christmas skit. Mike's been avoiding participation for years. Tag also follows his son-in-law everywhere he goes.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
NASHVILLE, TN – With the third selection in the Major League phase of today's Rule 5 Draft, the Colorado Rockies selected left-handed pitcher Daniel Rosenbaum off the Triple-A Syracuse roster of the Washington Nationals. Rosenbaum is the first player the Rockies have selected in the Rule 5 Draft since they selected, and subsequently traded to Seattle, left-handed pitcher Luis E. Gonzalez in 2005 from the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Rosenbaum, 25, spent the 2012 season at Double-A Harrisburg in the Nationals organization and was named to the Eastern League Mid-Season All-Star team. In 26 starts for Harrisburg in 2012, Rosenbaum went 8-10 with a 3.94 ERA (155.1 ip, 68 er), 39 walks and 99 strikeouts. Rosenbaum was originally selected by Washington in the 22nd round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft out of Xavier University. In his four Minor League seasons, Rosenbaum is 26-24 with a 2.84 ERA (507.2 ip, 160 er), 141 walks and 387 strikeouts in 89 games/84 starts. Rosenbaum was rated the 23rd best prospect in the Nationals organization by Baseball America prior to the 2012 season.
The Rockies currently have 39 players on the 40-man roster.

Location close.
Housekeeping did not service bathroom and staff failed to supply request for a towel.
Parking and overpriced valet
no Valet parking after 11pm even if paid.
They were very helpful with any concern we had. All staff was polite, rooms clean. My kids loved the bunk beds. Nice to have the free shuttle to DL - it was always on time. Buffet was good.
The room was pretty big, though for some reason I had two beds, when I only asked for 1. The room service was great, I had a friendly staff member who brought my food up to my room and the food was excellent. There is a safe in the room which you can set a custom PIN for. The location was great as someone visiting the Convention Centre. The shuttle to Disneyland was very consistent. The view from the room was excellent. The bathroom had a very large wall mounted mirror, as well as a pullout mirror with a magnified side. They had a very helpful taxi service who got me the best price on a taxi to Hollywood.
Internet speed was seriously awful, they tout "high-speed" everywhere, but it's anything but. Expect around 0.5Mbps down and 0.2Mbps up. Breakfast was the same every day which got a bit boring after 5 days. The potato especially was pretty dry. They didn't give me the free breakfast which was supposed to come with my room until I went to reception and complained. One of the cleaners removed the hair dryer from my room, so I had to call reception to have it replaced. There's no obvious way to call the front desk, they don't list a phone number anywhere, so I had to call them via the restaurant. The bed was super hard, really not the best for comfort. There was water dripping from the roof in the lobby and on one of the days there was some sort of flood in the restaurant, towels and maintenance people everywhere.
Location to Disneyland was perfect.
Queen beds felt a little small. Room & storage felt a little small for our family of 4, but it was only for a few nights. Couldn't gain access to the pool area! Unsure why.
The Location!
The bed is uncomfortable! Breakfast is poor.
Shuttle service to Disneyland Omelet Bar
Filthy!! Garbage left in room from previous guests Bugs in room Hair in drain-water ankle deep Housekeeping blaring music Lied to on two separate visits about available rooms Breakfast buffet eggs were under cooked, rotten fruit, coagulated syrup, hard overcooked french toast, no water available unless staff there to get it for you but they were no where to be found

Breakfast Internet
The bed was amazing. The staff were helpful from the moment we came to the hotel.
The hotel suggest to go with Gray Line transportation to get to lax and although we only had one stop to the Disneyland resort to pick up other guests we had to transfer buses (which we were not told about) and both buses were late. So when we had an hour and 15 min to ge to airport it ended up taking 2 hours!!! Very stressful, should have just stuck with Super Shuttle!
The staff were amazing and very accommodating. The room was comfortable and clean. The restaurant food was very good, especially the breakfast buffet. Overall a great experience!
When events at the hotel they need to better accommodate their hotel guests with parking.
I liked that our floor had clothes washing and drying facilities, very convenient for holiday travellers

I remember before cable I thought that 'pay TV' would mean that there wouldn't have to be commercials like the ones they had on the networks, your subscription fee would take care of that. Boy was I wrong . . .
Hope they have some kind of anti-theft device . . .
That's too bad. I thought the trailer for this was rather promising. I guess it's not surprising though, previous efforts to resurrect "The Little Rascals" and "Laurel & Hardy" were really bad. There was a bio-pic years ago about W.C. Fields with Rod Steiger that was strangely interesting though.
So is this one of those wild goose chases we have been hearing about for so long?
Because of the risk of static electricity causing a fire when one gets in an out of the vehicle it is safer . . . aww, who'm I kidding, I jus like not having to get out of the car.
Foot in mouth disease.
Seller: 'fromeuropetoyou' . . .
In future, please do not include the word 'fire' after the word 'arson'. Thanking you in advance . . .
In future, please do not include the word 'fire' after the word 'arson'. Thanking you in advance . . .
Will it be rated 'R' because of all the pipe smoking?
Funny, the Star-Ledger mentioned the age difference in the first sentence of this item.
He was one of the leads in The Dreamers - YouTube http://bit.ly/vasSsz
(Excellent film, strictly adults only)
It was interesting to read the comments on this episode in other web venues, about a third of the comments were something to the effect of : "I can't believe they killed Jimmy, I'm canceling my subscription to HBO tomorrow!" or "I will never watch this series again after this!" (Yeah, riight, uh huh . . . ). I guess this kind of reaction can be seen as a testament to the quality of the writing of this show that seems to get such a visceral reaction out of people.
Hokey Smoke!
So may we wash our cars now then?
It's obviously your call but I'd've chosen something a little more tantalizing than just spilling the beans in the title with the absolute last line in the show, which was a real bolt from the blue.
It's all the same to me because I already saw the show but that is a heck of a spoiler in the title of this article . . .
HBO would have been a better place for this, on network TV it is not very promising . . .
I'll assume this article is mostly tongue in cheek. I think a lot of people do feel self-conscious when they first start doing Zumba. I've been doing Zumba regularly for a couple of years now and think it's the best! I always wonder why so few other men feel comfortable doing Zumba, but hey, it's their loss!

WIAA Division 4 Championship: Wautoma/Faith Christian 20, Big Foot 0MADISON, Wis. (AP) --Wautoma/Faith Christian senior Jared Abbrederis' last name sounds almost magical. His final prep football game certainly was. Abbrederis made a series of dazzling plays on both sides of the ball, leading the Hornets to their first WIAA state championship with a 20-0 victory over Big Foot in the Division 4 title game Thursday night. At quarterback, Abbrederis ran for one touchdown and threw for another, and at defensive back he intercepted two second-half passes to squash the last two Big Foot drives that encroached into Hornets territory. "He is just unbelievable. He doesn't take enough credit for what he does. I think he doesn't realize what he did," Hornets lineman Luke Roeske said. "He always has some shine. You think you're down and the guy sparks you and gets you going."
Big Foot (12-2) had mustered just 34 yards of total offense until its final drive, when the Chiefs put together an 11-play, 75-yard march in the final three minutes that ended when Abbrederis stepped in front of a Steve Dowden pass at the Hornets' 9-yard line. The Chiefs' last drive was the only time they made it into the red zone. "It was our 'A' game defense exactly. It's been pretty good all year against people on the run," said Wautoma/Faith Christian coach Dennis Moon. "Tonight we had them scouted good. We got a lot of hats to the ball." Abbrederis found the end zone late in the first half on a 9-yard option keeper that almost ended badly. Abbrederis broke a tackle in the backfield before finding an opening off the right tackle, then barely made it across the goal line before a jarring hit from Big Foot safety Michael Walker knocked the ball loose. On his TD pass, he went right out of the shotgun on a planned rollout, then scrambled almost to the sideline before reversing field. He sprinted to the left hash marks before spotting Brett Brown in the end zone for a 5-yard strike to give the Hornets a 13-0 lead with 8:22 left in the fourth quarter. "Everyone started over pursuing. I thought I could run it in," Abbrederis said. "But Brett Brown was waving his arms so I threw it up to him and let him go up and get it." Matt Stepniewski put the game out of reach with a 1-yard TD plunge with 3:05 to go. Both of Abberderis' scores came after Wautoma/Faith Christian got the ball on interceptions. The Hornets fumbled the ball away in their own territory on their first two possessions of the second half, but Big Foot couldn't generate positive yardage on the ensuing drives. "We had two turnovers on their first two possessions and we couldn't punch it in," Big Foot coach Rodney Wedig said. "At this level, you've got to make teams pay for turnovers."

The new West Georgia Textile Heritage Trail — which is linking several Coweta County mills with people and projects in towns from Dalton in north Georgia to Columbus — started with a student at the University of West Georgia.
"It basically began out of a research project," said Dr. Keith Hebert of the UWG's Center for Public History. Graduate student Steven Eubanks got an Elizabeth Lyons Fellowship — named for a longtime leader is historic preservation in Georgia.
Eubanks used the fellowship to spend a year documenting mills throughout Georgia and particularly in western Georgia. He presented the results of his findings last year "during Historic Preservation Month" at a Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation meeting, Hebert said.
Several people were impressed with the research and resources Eubanks had brought together. It would have been a shame "to go into a report that only a few people saw," Hebert said.
Hebert and others worked to obtain the initial grants to hold the conference in Bremen "and to start the trail," he said.
The board of directors for the trail will include people from throughout the region, with members bringing different skills and strengths. Hebert said a goal is to make sure "we can get good advice as we move forward."
"Our region was known as the clothing center of the South," reflected Robin Worley, CEO of the Sewell Companies in Bremen. Four of every 10 suits manufactured in the United States "were made right here," he said.
"It's been over a hundred years now since that entrepreneurial effort began. It's worth remembering – and honoring," Worley said.
Worley and Sharon Sewell, the mayor of Bremen, were among those at a conference at the Sewell Mill to kick off the West Georgia Textile Heritage Trail project.
Sewell was born in Bremen, and her father started one of the many textile firms in the community. She grew up, she recalled, "watching how you grow a company from the garage behind your house."
In addition to textile mills operated by members of her family, Sewell remembered other companies. The Hubbard Company was one of them, and Sewell remembered Cluett-Peabody's employees sewed Arrow shirts.
"Each one of those facilities was a family," Sewell said. She related that each company fielded a baseball team with uniforms.
Sewell said she has kept the town's textile heritage in mind as the town has grown and changed – expanding its library and adding a cultural arts center. "I wanted the world to remember the Bremen that I knew," she said.
"History must be remembered," Worley said, "and it must be properly honored."

FairPoint walks: PUC 'penalty' is a joke
Last month the PUC approved a plan by FairPoint to spend the penalty money expanding broadband Internet access throughout New Hampshire. The state has long desired greater broadband coverage, particularly in the North Country. Most PUC commissioners concluded that FairPoint's offer would amount to a tremendous public benefit for the state.
True, more of the state will have broadband service if FairPoint completes this project. It also is true that FairPoint will have thousands of new customers.
FairPoint sells broadband Internet service. This is no altruistic venture; it is a business investment. The PUC has decided to punish FairPoint by making it richer. It would be like allowing an arrested Hollywood director to work off his court-ordered community service by starting a New Hampshire-based feature film production company.
The money should have been returned to FairPoint customers.

I think that's just a simple crease,where the book was Accidently folded, not so much a subscription crease. A sub crease would factor into to your favor if grading,that will not.

Grass Fire Spreads to House in Crawford County
A Crawford County home was damaged Tuesday afternoon when a grass fire spread in the 1500 block of Old Union Town Road north of Van Buren.
"I was worried they weren't gonna get here in time," said Becky Jansen, an eyewitness.
Jansen grew up in the house. She watched as flames melted siding and charred the frame. "Within five minutes it was way over here in the yard. The wind was blowing you know so it didn't take it long," said Jansen.
Investigators say the fire started by the road then quickly spread to the home causing an estimated thousands of dollars in damage. "You don't know where it's gonna go, what it's gonna do and you can't go over there and just put it out," said Colton Sheppard, a neighbor.
The house was vacant, according to Chief Dale Ingle with the Crawford County District 5 Volunteer Fire Department.
Ingle says they are still not sure how the fire started. Battling flames in triple digit temperatures is not easy. "I feel like about 140 right now," said Ingle.
Despite the heat, Ingle confirmed no one was injured. He said people should not be burning. "You can see across the street green grass does burn," said Ingle.
Jansen hopes to save old pictures still inside the home. She said, "There's nothing valuable in there, just memories."
The county judge reinstated the county burn ban Tuesday afternoon.

Alabama Republican Jo Bonner Says He's Leaving Congress
Originally published on Thu May 23, 2013 7:51 pm
Rep. Jo Bonner, R-Ala., says he will leave Congress effective in August to take a senior position at the University of Alabama.
Bonner, who has represented Alabama's 1st District for six terms since 2003, will become vice chancellor of government relations and economic development at Alabama. His sister, Judy Bonner, serves as president of the university.
USA Today says:
"Bonner has been best known in Congress for helping his constituents and his work on the Appropriations Committee, the panel that allocates most federal funds. Through that committee, Bonner worked to get federal aid to states hard hit by Hurricane Katrina.
"Beyond Alabama, however, Bonner may best be remembered for service on the Ethics Committee when [New York Democrat Charles] Rangel was censured — the toughest form of punishment short of expulsion. Serving on the ethics committee has long been a thankless task for members of Congress because of its role in policing lawmakers. Bonner took the unusual step of criticizing then-Ethics Committee chairwoman Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., for not scheduling Rangel's trial ahead of the November elections in 2010."
The Washington Post reports that potential Republican candidates for the vacant seat would "include state Sen. Bill Hightower, state Sen. Trip Pittman and 2010 gubernatorial candidate Bradley Byrne, who lost a runoff to [Gov. Robert] Bentley. The district is strongly Republican, giving Mitt Romney more than 60 percent of the vote in 2012."

Laugh...I was just about to put a bid in for a high PR site, saw that it was zero and I cut and ran.
I suppose I'll have to reconsider it now but perhaps I'll wait a few days. It will play havoc with domain and site brokers.

Senators Murray, Klobuchar, Begich and Murkowski Introduce Bi-Partisan Comprehensive Veterans Employment Bill
Published on Thu, Apr 22, 2010 by
Murray Press Office
Read More
County & State
(Washington, D.C.) –Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), a senior member of Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, joined with Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Mark Begich (D-AK), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), veterans, and veterans service organizations to unveil the Veterans Employment Act of 2010. The bill, which was introduced in the Senate today, is the first legislation that takes a comprehensive approach to addressing skyrocketing veterans unemployment rates. The bill includes a series of proposals that improve training, skills transition, education, and small business assistance programs.
"Too often our veterans return home and have their resumes lost in the stack," said Senator Murray. "These are disciplined, dedicated individuals who'll be great employees but who need help translating their skills into civilian careers. We can't continue to pat veterans on the back for their service and then push them out into the job market alone. This is the first comprehensive bill to help veterans go from the battlefield to the working world."
"When our soldiers sign up for service, there isn't a waiting line and there shouldn't be a waiting line when they come home and need a job," said Senator Klobuchar. "Our troops have valuable skills and we need to help them transition their skills and experience into the workforce."
"After the initial excitement of coming home is gone, the reality of the challenges they face sets in. They need to know their government is there for them," said Senator Begich. "They've asked for help with employment, help with opening a small business, and help with using their training in the private sector. This comprehensive legislation will address the unique needs of our veterans who have been struggling to find work and to keep their jobs."
"The legislation fills a critical need," said Senator Murkowski. "Our veterans leave military service with exceptional leadership skills and valuable life lessons. Yet it is not evident that employers fully appreciate all that our veterans can bring to their workplace. This bill will help our veterans gain the additional skills they need to participate in Alaska's oil and gas industry. It will provide them the opportunity to start their own businesses, if they choose to. And it encourages employers at all levels to recognize that those who've given much in the service of their country have much to offer to a prospective employer."
The Veterans Employment Act expands job training, placement services and entrepreneurship opportunities for veterans who may otherwise have fallen through the cracks of existing programs.
The Veterans Employment Act:
· Establishes a Veteran Business Center Program within the Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide critical entrepreneurial training and counseling to veterans.
· Expands the Post-9/11 GI Bill to allow returning veterans to use the benefit for apprenticeship and worker training programs that will help them acquire the skills they need to find stable, family-wage jobs in their communities.
· Creates pilot programs to test ways transitioning servicemembers can build on the technical skills learned in the military and better market those skills in the civilian workforce.
· Establishes a Veterans Conservation Corps Grant Program and a Veterans Energy/Green Jobs Grant Program to connect veterans with the green jobs market of the future.
The Veterans Employment Act also takes steps to make current job assistance programs work better for veterans.
The bill:
· Examines the expansion of the National Guard Employment Enhancement Project (NGEEP), which would provide transition assistance to National Guard members.
· Requires the Department of Defense and the Department of Labor Veterans Employment and Training Service to examine the Transition Assistance Program for active duty service members and recommend how to update and upgrade the program to meet the needs of today's veterans.
In addition to Senators Klobuchar, Begich, and Murkowski, Senators Harry Reid (D-NV), Richard Durbin (D-IL), and Blanche Lincoln (D-AK) are also original co-sponsors of Senator Murray's bill.

Title: Windaria
Alternate Title: Once Upon A Time
Genres: action, drama, fantasy, romance, sci-fi
Running Time: 100 Minutes
Two pairs of young lovers become embroiled in a war between two rival kingdoms, the primitive but resplendent Isa and the militaristic but undisciplined Paro. Izu and his young wife, Marin , are simple farmers who live in the unassuming village of Saki, which lies directly between Isa and Paro. While Saki does not have the beauty of Isa nor the war machines of Paro, they do possess a magnificent tree known as "Windaria," to which the villagers give their prayers in return for "good memories." When the war erupts, Izu decides to join Paro`s army, enthralled by the fantastic motorbike "given" to him as a bribe. Before he departs, they each take a vow: He will definitely return to her, and until he does, she will wait for him. The other two lovers are Jill, the prince of Paro, and Ahanas, Princess of Isa. They initially want nothing to do with the rapidly escalating conflict, but after Jill`s father, Paro`s king, dies by his son`s hand in an altercation over the war, Jill has little choice but to realize his father`s final wish: the taking of Isa. The only problem is that he had promised his beloved, Ahanas, that he would not become involved. Windaria is a war parable set in a fantasy land of unicorns and ghost ships.
