Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Michael Morse hit a two-run home run in the sixth inning to help the Washington Nationals run their winning streak to eight games with a 4-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles.
Ryan Zimmerman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored while Ivan Rodriguez drove in the other run for the Nationals, who are on their longest winning streak since taking eight straight from August 2-9, 2009.
Jordan Zimmermann (5-6) went 6 1/3 innings to improve to 3-0 over his last four starts as he gave up two runs on eight hits with two walks and two strikeouts.
"I always want to go out there and do my best. The starting pitchers have been doing a great job and the whole team has been coming around," Jordan Zimmermann said about the team's winning streak. "We've been hitting, the relievers have been putting up zeros and we're just playing some good ball right now."
Adam Jones hit a solo home run and J.J. Hardy drove in the other run for the Orioles, who have dropped two straight and six of seven. Brian Matusz (1-2) was touched for four runs on six hits with three walks and five strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings to take the loss. He left in the sixth inning with a cramp in his left hamstring.
"There's still a lot of room to go, still a lot of building, a lot more room for improvement. You want to go out there every day when you pitch and compete well enough to give your team a chance to win. Today it was just not enough," Matusz said about his performance.
Each team got a solo home run from their No. 3 hitters in the first inning as Jones got the Orioles on the board in the visitors half with a shot into left while Zimmerman got his team on board in the home half with a blast deep into the left field seats.
The Baltimore second saw Derrek Lee leadoff with a single, but he was then caught stealing. The team later stranded two runners after Matusz grounded out to end the inning.
The Orioles had men on first and third with one out in the fourth, but were unable to push any across as Mark Reynolds struck out and Robert Andino grounded out to end the frame.
The Nationals went on top in the sixth inning. With one out, Zimmerman doubled and Morse followed by drilling a pitch over the right field wall.
Later in the inning with Clay Rapada on the mound for the Orioles, Rodriguez doubled home Jerry Hairston Jr, who had walked in front of Rodriguez, for a 4-1 lead.
The Orioles got one back in the second on an RBI single from Hardy with one out that saw men on first and second. Henry Rodriguez, though, came on to relieve Zimmermann and got the next two outs to keep it a two-run game.
Rodriguez stayed on for the eighth and worked around a two-out walk while Drew Storen pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his 17th save of the season.

Portugal passes news IMF rescue reviewComment on this story
Washington - The International Monetary Fund approved Wednesday the disbursement of a fresh 910 million euros ($1.24 billion) to Portugal after the country passed the 10th review of its bailout program.
The newest disbursement came as Lisbon looked toward the end of the three-year 78 billion euro EU-IMF rescue launched in May 2011.
On Tuesday, the government demonstrated the progress it has made in restructuring its finances, successfully raising 3 billion euros in financing from the commercial debt market.
It was a key test of whether the country can exit the EU-IMF bailout program cleanly in May. - Sapa-AFP

One and a half reps
Anyone performs one and a half reps? it is where you do one full rep followed by half rep for example on bench you would lower to chest, raise it half way up, then lower it back to chest, then back to full extension.
I'm thinking of doing it for a 4 to 6 weeks cycle on bench and military press.
i will do maybe 5 reps half way(from my chest then half way up) then 1 all the way up....helps me in my troubled area which is right there

Mini reps (or half reps) are a really good way to mix up your workout. Mechanical work is a term that refers to the force output of the levers in your body. MW is the force, or weight, times distance. So, the more work you do per rep, (a full rep followed by a mini rep in this case) the more muscle you will build. As long as the mini reps don't fatigue you too much and prevent you from doing your normal number of reps, it's a great idea.
Oh, and I really like doing these with pushups

Musclemag has a writeup on static lifts supposedly great if u do it right like put more weight than u can bench in the squat rack mid rom and push as hard as u can for timed reps...
Closer to the actual thread I like to do rack bench like the last 4-6 inches of a rep when my shoulders are too murdered for dips
if only bc Big Ron is in my avatar

I know half reps with neck presses (for chest) has worked wonders for my chest so far. Press the weight only far enough to feel the chest still doing most of the work. Once I feel like the triceps and shoulders are starting to take over, I stop the rep short. So it's mostly half reps. I've done incline presses forever but nothing hits my upper chest like neck presses. Since my upper chest has started to respond, my chest is starting to look so much fuller. Still have a long way to go, but neck presses are awesome!
One-and-a-halfs may be a good way to change up intensity, but I wouldn't do them all the time.

Much has changed on the Unforgettable set since the drama about NYPD cop Carrie Wells (Poppy Montgomery), who has near perfect memory, was canceled more than a year ago by CBS, then miraculously brought back to life. The action has moved from a grimy Queens precinct to the shiny, high-tech Manhattan Major Crimes Section, and the show's tone has been similarly lightened, in keeping with its off-season scheduling (the first of eight summer episodes aired July 28, with five more new installments to follow later).
Poppy Montgomery will never forget when Unforgettable was un-canceled."I got the call and I was like, 'Where's Ashton Kutcher? This is Punk'd!'" she tells TVGuide.com. "I was like, 'This is not real, c'mon, people!' It was really fast. I really thought it was a practical joke. I trust that the networks and studio know what they're doing and what they need and want. If it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be, and I really thought it wasn't last year. So many shows get canceled. It's so rare to bring a show back."Get the scoop on Unforgettable and more of your favorite returning summer showsThe CBS drama — which stars Montgomery as Carrie Wells, a detective who can remember literally everything except the night her sister Rachel was murdered — will return for its second season Sunday (9/8c, CBS), 14 months after the network initially canceled it despite a worldwide following and numbers that would make any competitor green with envy. The show ...

You can hear a pin drop in the Queens homicide squad as Det. Carrie Wells calls a cellphone that could belong to a serial killer she's tracking. When a drug dealer answers, she hangs up, disappointed. A familiar face in the corner makes a wisecrack and the Unforgettable cast hold back their laughs. Live from New York... it's Jane Curtin!
Poppy Montgomery and Dylan Walsh are good sports. By the time the leads of CBS' new hit procedural Unforgettable arrive to scope out a late-afternoon Mets batting practice at Citi Field, they've already been filming since 9am — and when the MLB team takes the field later that evening for a home game, they'll be long gone, back to work at the show's nearby Queens studio. Luckily, those demanding days are paying off: The drama about a woman who uses her superhuman memory to help her cop ex-boyfriend solve crimes premiered last month to 14 million viewers, and the TV vets playing Carrie Wells and Al Burns are determined to keep knocking it out of the park — while cracking each other up in the process.
CBS has ordered the cop drama The 2-2 (formerly Rookies), the Poppy Montgomery-starring detective drama Unforgettable, Susannah Grant's A Gifted Man and the sitcom How to Be a Gentleman, which comes via It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia scribe David Hornsby.

I just saw Pat Buchanan on The EWTN (Catholic TV) news show explaining that if the government had slapped tariffs and trade barriers on everything years ago, everything would now be fine and all GM employees would be kings among men. "It's this free trade globalism" that is ruining everything, says Pat. Host Raymond Arroyo, whose entire editorial repertoire consists of mock outrage at things said by left-wingers, nodded knowingly.
If conservative populism makes a comeback, we are all in for a lot more conservative-approved government and taxation in the name of "America First" and "protecting" middle-American jobs. I've long wondered when Pat was going to get on this hobby horse again.
My subscription has lapsed, but the last time I read something in The American Conservative about economics, I thought I was reading a copy of The Daily Worker. Buchanan is no longer the editor there, so maybe things have improved.10:29 pm on November 10, 2008 Email Ryan McMaken

Start of Micro Fokker D.VII
OMG! I had to show you guys what Master Speedy01 (Gene) the "Tissue Cover King" sent me. It's a 14.5" WS Micro DV.II from the 1/48 scale ecardmodels.com site. It's Rudolf Start's of Jasta 35B.
Gene enlarged it to 1:20th +- scale.
This is truly a master piece. of 2mm Depron foam covered in tissue with CF rods in the LE's of the wings and ribs (strips of paper tape under the tissue covering).
You have to look at the pictures and enlarge them to see just how good this is and ecards, Kampfliegger group did a great job on this paper model -reprint ( Some modeler/s did the reprints of this paper model and there are other excellent reprints of various Kampfliegger paper model plane plans that this site has.)
Hail to Gene! I was going to take a needed model build break after I finish my Micro E-III but when this arrived I was excited. The D.VII with it's long nose should be a very easy WWI bird to obtain the CG on without too much pain.
I don't know if I can do this bird justice, the pictures are not going to show how well this bird goes together or how good it truly looks! Gene does all the hard work beveling edges, chalking edges, etc. The airfoil also looks great as he bakes the wings in his wing jig. He also printed all the other parts of this bird onto tissue to make the LG wheels and other parts.
I do have to finish my E-III first and get my daughter off to college but I intend to start this bird as soon as I can.
Thank you , Thank you Gene!

I agree, it looks great!
Makes me want to build one too...

That's what I said when I got this from Gene. Amazing, it just got me inspired to do another build. It looks much better than the pic's. Also with his enlargement he corrected a mistake in the paper plan as the stripe behind the cockpit did not line up so he reworked that before enlarging and printing.
Gene's now working on a Top Secret D.VIII

I've been meaning to ask ... I know these are very lightweight machines ... and certainly NOT for the new pilot.
... do they hold up well over the long haul? Will they withstand the bumps and bruises of rc flying?

Yes! the tissue actually gives them more strength for very little if any weight gain over airbrushed birds. Indoors on hardwood floors is the hardest on these but even there there's little damage since they are so light the big danger is a bigger 3D type or other big plane with a big prop and mid air strikes or whacks.

As far as NOT being for a new pilot...well, experience helps with any airframe, but these airplanes are pretty dog-gone stable, especially given the right "toss it onto a bed" to check flight balance, etc before the maiden. (Pete's a master of properly setting up CG, etc - I think he can make anything fly on the first attempt!)
As Pete said, the tissue adds an element of strength, as does the carbon fiber in the leading edge. Added to that, the UHU Por adhesive that's used is flexible, affording some give in the event of a "hard touchdown".
And speak of touchdowns, that clever Pete generally uses sprung landing gear that absorbs the shock of landings. I've worn out Depron tires doing touch and goes with absolutely no structural damage to the gear.
Also, these airframes are/should be flown more scale than aerobatic, thus avoiding hazardous situations. That's not to say you can't do mild aerobatics like loops and rolls, but they won't roll like a drill and are hard to get to spin. Programming some Aileron/Rudder Interconnect makes them wonderful fliers.
And yet another plus - in the event power is needed to fly out of an unwanted situation, the P-51 motor (which most of these models use) is powerful enough to easily do so.
So my bottom line is: DON'T be put off attempting one of these beauties! They are much, much more durable than any comparable RFT models.

Made a light ply motor mount and installed the PZ P-51 motor/gearbox. Lots of room and easy to mount. Next I'll add the brick. I may just do elevator and rudder.

I put in old flopy disc hinges in the elevator and half of the rudder (the other half will be in the tail of the fuselage).
Installed the brick in this case since I only want rudder & elevator I'm using a HZ Champ brick (you can get the brick motor/gearbox and two push rods if you buy a HZ fuselage)
I also thought I'd use the paper plan tissue covered foam motor that Gene sent me I'll doctor it up with a few more details to try and make it look better. I'm lazy and didn't want to take the time right now to do a detailed micro motor the FZ Albatros motor beefed up would work great in this bird. I didn't have any extras.

speedy, Beautiful workmanship and detail. Would you adopt me and teach me how this work is done? Or sell me printed tissue.

Added a few details to the foam motor, painted the prop, installed the tail feathers with push rod horns and added some dihedral in the bottom wing.
Worked on the top wing struts and the landing gear. The LG will have some spring (A Speedy01 suggestion)using the light ply center rib with a tight hole and outside ribs with slots. I may redo the bottom with ply instead of foam.
It's starting to take shape.

You could also put a thin (.030) CF rod on the leading edge of what you have, fold the foam over, and glue another rod on the trailing edge. However, I think the foam wing will be strong enough.

Get Started Planning Your New Floor with Online Tools from Armstrong
You've wanted a new floor for… forever, right? But you need the reassurance that you're choosing the right floor. Armstrong can help. We offer two tools to help you get moving on that flooring project: the Floor Finder and the Project Estimator.
Floor Finder
With Floor Finder, we recommend the flooring type best suited for your particular project based on your answers to 5 simple questions: room type, flooring look, your household activity level, your DIY level, and your budget.
Linoleum vs. Vinyl Flooring
In Customer Service, we often get the question, "Are vinyl and linoleum the same thing?" The answer is no. While linoleum is often used as a synonym for vinyl sheet, it's more accurate to say that they're both resilient floors – meaning they can restore their shape. Their only similarity is that linoleum and vinyl both come in sheet goods (on a roll rather than tiles).
Choosing Between Linoleum and Vinyl
I'm in the planning stages of my kitchen renovation, and I've considered all of the floors Armstrong makes. Right now, I've narrowed it down to linoleum and vinyl sheet. Vinyl sheet offers amazing visuals and the easiest maintenance. So why is linoleum on my short list? All the colorful options! While vinyl floors come in a wide range of colors, linoleum takes advantage of the entire spectrum of color. See the options here.
Express Yourself with New Alterna Shapes and Sizes
Personalization has become an important interior design trend in recent years. Now Armstrong introduces a whole new dimension of personalization – for your floor! With new shapes and sizes in our Alterna collection.
Alterna luxury vinyl tile is a beautiful alternative to natural stone and ceramic tile, and just like those products, Alterna is available in various sizes. In addition to 16" x 16" and 12" x 12" sizes, you can now get 12" x 24", 8" x 16" and 8" x 8" in thirty Alterna designs.
Ready to design your own floor? Try these patterning ideas.
1) Install square tiles in a diamond pattern.
Top 5 Floors of 2013 – Mid-Year Recap
What makes a floor worthy of a 5-star rating? Is it the looks? The durability? The ease of installation? At Armstrong, we know it's all of these things. So here's a rundown of the top-rated floors of 2013 (so far), by you, our customers.
Hardwood Flooring
The deep, spicy tones of this engineered hardwood flooring scored big points with the homeowners who installed it throughout their whole first floor. They also rated this hardwood for quality, ease of installation, and ease of cleaning.
"This is an excellent product… Very easy to install and looks great. " more ►
MIDTOWN™ Hardwood Selected by Top Builder
Nothing says luxury like a beautiful hardwood floor. The new Midtown hardwood collection by Armstrong lets you achieve a stunning hardwood style without the cost implications or performance limitations.
One of America's "Top 100 Builders", Oakwood Homes, in Loveland, CO, recently discovered the unique advantages of Midtown. They installed nearly 800 feet of genuine walnut floors from the collection in a 2,100 square foot model home.
Inside the Model Home
The entryway, kitchen, and living room of this exquisitely styled Oakwood model home shout "STYLE" with varying hues of rich warm walnut that complement the vibrant furniture design.
Introducing American Scrape Hardwood Floors
If you follow the latest decorating trends, you may know that textures inspired by nature are popular in home design today. Some designers even consider texture the new "color". They suggest that bringing the textures of nature indoors has a positive effect on people. I've even read that homeowners are happier and healthier because a bit of nature inside their home creates a calming environment.
Armstrong has responded to this trend with a truly beautiful new hardwood collection that embodies both texture and nature. It's called American Scrape™.
An American Tradition
The new American Scrape collection features wide plank floors with a hand-scraped look, designed to look like vintage floors from long ago. This unique collection got me thinking about the history of scraped floors, and after researching the topic, I discovered that wide-width scraped floors were an American tradition as far back as the 1800s – when most homes had solid wood floors. Back in those days, the boards were scraped to even out the differences between the planks.
A Day in the Life of an Armstrong Customer Service Rep
This blog post is part of our occasional series that describes "a day in the life" of an Armstrong employee who works in our residential flooring business. This post was written by Emily Swingler in Customer Relations and Technical Services.

The Perfect Floor for the Bedroom
I am on an endless quest to decorate and redecorate my house. Now it's time to tackle a new project – the master bedroom. You might think this should be a fun project, but the truth is, the bedroom seems like somewhat of a thankless job. Why? Because no one ever sees it. For that reason, I have not touched it since we moved into our house. In those 8+ years, I have redone our kitchen, painted every other room in the house, and replaced furniture in our living areas many times. But no major re-decorating has taken place in the bedroom.

We assist in identifying targets for your issue: potential suppliers, partners, customers. Then we locate key decision makers in those organizations and gather insights as to their motivations and needs. The result: a detailed target map of where you need to go and how you need to get there.
On your behalf, and sometimes anonymously, we make the initial outreach to a target to ascertain their level of interest in a relationship/deal. Then we'll set the parameters for negotiation.
Bootcamp is negotiation prep for our clients. We brief and drill your negotiation team, running through scenarios, practicing techniques, rehearsing boundaries, mapping team dynamics. The details matter: What to wear, where to host, how to travel and who should be on the team. Where and when to stand, sit, talk, listen and, if necessary, walk away. It's like presidential debate prep— only harder.
Our team of designers, artists, photographers, animators and videographers prepare the support materials for your pitch, so you can present your case in the most cogent, emotionally engaging way possible.
Either as part of the client team, or in the background operating as support and adviser, we're onsite during the negotiations, providing real-time guidance to drive the negotiation to a productive outcome. We partner with your legal team to ensure they're free to focus on legal issues, while we focus on projecting presence and influence in the room.
As the lawyers are working on the contracts, we're working with you to build the implementation momentum strategy, ensuring all sides remain motivated to execute the agreement effectively.

Are you moving into a dorm for next semester? Are you clueless about what you should bring? Don't worry: I am here to help.
Since my previous post, Confession Time: I Didn't Like Frozen, has received so much attention, I though I would use my powers for good and promote some animated Disney movies that I think are under-appreciated.
You were wondering who that one person in the whole world is who didn't like it, and I'm right here.
I didn't want it to be this way, but it is and now we all just have to deal with it. I'm going to lay out the reasons I just could not love this movie, so that maybe I'll stop getting shocked and hateful stares every time I share the news. ***SPOILER WARNING***: I will be discussing many aspects of the plot and characters, so I'll probably give away everything about the movie. I waited until now to write this so that anyone who was dying to see it will have probably already seen it, and anyone who hasn't probably just doesn't care that much about spoilers.
Yeah, I know I just posted something last night, but this is 100% worth your time to watch if you have read The Hunger Games. May the cookies be ever in your flavor.
It has come to my attention that many college students do not know how to do research at a real, actual, brick-and-mortar library, and many graduate without ever learning how to do this incredibly simple thing. The rest of us are usually forced into going to a library when a class requires it, because if the decision were up to us then we wouldn't use a source that can't be found on JSTOR.
So, I got a comment today. It's exciting enough for me to share with the class. The comment is for my post "You Don't Know What Hell Is: A PSA About Summer Vacation," which you can read here if you would like.
Paradise Lost, The Divine Comedy, The Faerie Queene, The Aeneid, Gilgamesh, Mahabharata. You name it, and the process went like this.

Guest Post: Home Improvement Tips from Redfin
Disclosure: This is a guest post from Redfin, written by Redfin Real Estate agent, Bree Al-Rashid, on cost effective home improvement and repair projects! Opinions may not agree with those of Budget Earth or our readers. We hope you enjoy these useful tips!
Optimize the sink plumbing
Depending on the type of sink your family uses to wash vegetables and hands before dinner, the sink and faucet could be worn, cracked or out of place with other elements in the room. Upgrading these two fixtures will create a new prep space that can also mean savings on the utility bill. Low-flow faucet installation could cost as little as $130, while sink installation can cost from $180 to $1,500 depending on the type of materials, whether you have to update the plumbing and the extent of the work.
Eco upgrades
Aside from installing LED lighting, a low-flow faucet and efficient appliances, the kitchen has plenty of opportunities for other sustainable improvements. If there are windows in the kitchen, they could be replaced with double-paned ones that block outside heat or wind and keep the temperature steady indoors. Countertops and cabinets can also be replaced with more sustainable options such as bamboo or solid-surface materials.
Add more illumination
Lighting is paramount to meal prep, especially in the evenings. To help with meal prep, install more lighting under the cabinets or in the ceiling. Recessed lighting is especially useful for kitchens because they can have energy-efficient bulbs and prevent anyone from bumping their head while moving about the kitchen. Homeowners might pay $760 to $1,105 for all new lighting, or a single light fixture could cost between $42 and $112 when hiring an electrician to do the work.
Repairs to the kitchen floor
After years of people moving back and forth through the kitchen, the flooring has probably started to wear and fade. There might be cracks in the linoleum, cracked tiles or other problems that need fixing. You can hire a flooring contractor to fix those cracks to make it look brand new.
In the bathroom…
Discolored paint
Even when discoloration occurs in clean environments, it can make a space appear dirty. If aging or damaged paint is the source, it can easily be repainted. However, the most common reason for paint discoloration is mildew, which is all the more likely in moist environments such as a bathroom. This can be tested by applying a drop of bleach solution to the surface. If the stain is mildew, it should change colors within a minute or so. A bleach solution can make mildew situations right, and a fresh coat of paint containing mildewcide can keep it from happening again. But beware of laying on new paint before killing the mildew, or you might learn firsthand that mildew is the gift that keeps on giving.
Stained tiling
While it isn't pleasant, stained tile doesn't necessarily mean you have to start plying up your floor. In fact, the stains can often be removed with a little elbow grease. A warm water and vinegar solution can deep clean surfaces, and a water-ammonia solution can eliminate mildew. Rusty spots can be eliminated quickly with an application of kerosene.
Minor repairs you've been putting off
Replace any burned out light bulbs, broken electrical outlets, or light switches. It would be wise to also repair any leaky faucets or clogged drains before anyone tours your home. Replace any broken tiles that may be an eyesore. Squeaky hinges are music to no one's ears, so be sure to take care of those as well.
A fresh coat of paint… in any room!
It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do to a room. Picking a light color will make the room feel larger and brighter.
Switching out heavy drapes for a lighter material
Heavy, dark materials can make the room feel smaller and oppressive. If you switch out the dark drapes for something lighter and transparent, the room will get more natural light making the room feel bright.

Oops. I'm guilty of not doing some of those minor repairs. My bedroom could use a fresh coat of paint.
We're planning on doing some updating within the year. We recently replaced the roof. My husband gutted an upstairs room, added insulation and a new window. We have a large older home. It takes time since were doing the work. Next we have to remove a 300 year old oak tree that's right next to the house. It's always something!
Thank you for sharing these. I need to do some of them myself.
I love old homes with character, but many are missing the modern eco-friendly updates. These are great tips to combine the old charm with some modern touches to help the environment and save money. New plumbing in old houses is definitely beneficial.
I did not realize the consequences of leaving the little things too long..thank you
This is a nice refresher because you go through your house everyday and some this you simply don't notice anymore. You could create a mini-checklist of these checks to make sure there isn't any repair you are missing.
I've really been slipping on lighting. At least one, sometimes three (of five) lights in my bedroom are out, and I think it affects my mood!
Plus, I'd never considered that better lighting might improve my meal prep. I'll try anything to make that better!
Thanks for the tips! They should give more in the future!
How true that a fresh coat of paint can do wonders to a room! We've just painted our living room with a lighter color and now it looks so much roomier!
Very helpful tips as always, Susan!
Veronica Lee recently posted..Teachers' Day
Thank you for the tips! Fresh paint makes a hole different !! Can change a place up
It is amazing what fresh paint will do, I just make sure to use the most eco friendly brand I can so there are less toxins released in the air.
Those are some great ideas and one that I feel is important is to replace the grout around the shower/tub when it is badly stained, looks cleaner and makes the tub area more appealing. I like the idea about the curtains, I have mainly lacey curtains up and it really brightens my house, of course I live in the country and have no neighbors near my house which helps.
really wonderful tips. Thanks
Thank you for these tips.
What a lot of great tips. I have been blessed with a husband who is a jack of all trades and if he can't fix it he always knows who to call.
These are excellent tips of advice! One other thing would be to clean all the windows of the home. This can help improve the lighting and the overall appeal of the home. Thanks for sharing!
I used avoid the minor repairs for saving some bucks, but end up paying twice the cost due to my stupidity. Now I give full attention to even small repairs and get things repaired on time.
We should really pay attention to small details, thank you for sharing great tips to achieve a beautiful and safe house. This kind of article is helpful and gives a lot of information just like this one that I recently read about how to fight bed bugs without harming the mattress so it will last long. Here's the link I hope it can help other readers out there http://uratex.com.ph/blog/prepare-glory-batting-bed-bugs-harming-mattress/
Also, a good roof checking and cleaning would definitely be a winner for your home exterior look. Who would know, it might need some emergency repair? American Prestige Roofing
Improving the layout of your home can make your home more usable and enjoyable.
Thanks for this, I just realized I've been doing so much the wrong way. I just love heavy draperies but you're right, it does make my room smaller and darker. I'll change for lighter materials from now on. I really think that repainting will also change the vibes. I want my home to be really homy!
What about repairing the roofs and changing accessories around the home which are outdated? This will definitely add some value to your home.
Hi Susan! I really liked this post! I'll definitely try all these home improvements tips that you have mentioned. I'm glad that I found your blog. These are the information that I am looking for.
Couldn't agree more with adding doing some painting . . . i did it with my wife in our apartment and it made a huge difference! we loved it and it was so relaxing as well
I am not great at choosing colours haha but my wife is and we had great fun!
I have a home that is over 100 years old in an area of the country where most homes are much newer. I'm used to doing repairs and upgrades. I like the advice in this blog. Many of these changes I've already done or am in the process of doing. Other repairs are things I'll certainly consider moving forward.

Maytag Neptune keeps spinning
Posted 29 March 2008 - 04:29 AM
I replaced the timer thinking that was the problem, but to no avail. Still doing it. Is it the computer board on the back of the control panel that's fried?
Thanks, man.

I guess the unplugging and waiting thing is a fail-safe of some sort? I have to unplug it, wait for it to unlock, then I can start a new load as usual.
I'll let you know what I find out. Thanks much.

After confirming that the tester works, I followed your suggestion: there is no continuity between P3/7 and P3/1. What does this mean?
I didn't see any burnt resistors, but I wasn't checking that closely. I'll try again.
Thanks much.

As for the way things work now, the dial goes around as the wash cycle progresses, and functions as it has since we got it about 4 years ago (second hand). When it gets to either of the OFF positions, that's when it continues to do it's back and forth tumble thing. I've even replaced the timer/dial unit and it continues to exhibit the same behavior. It's only after I unplug the washer and wait that five minutes that the door unlocks. I've tried plugging it back in only a minute after unplugging it and the door is still locked. It has to be the five or so minutes. I have to do this every time.
Posted 08 April 2009 - 07:21 PM
Thanks for the help.
Happily washing again.

Advising is a fundamental element of every student's experience in Global Liberal Studies. Thus, each GLS student is assigned both a faculty advisor and a professional staff academic advisor. Students are urged to take advantage of the advising opportunities made available by proactively arranging for regular visits with both their faculty advisor and their academic advisor.
Faculty advisors engage students in conversations about the GLS curriculum, its relation to students' junior year site selection and their total undergraduate experience. They are also interested in pursuing conversations about how those experiences impact lifelong intellectual and professional pursuits, shape interests and aspirations, and inspire dispositions regarding what constitutes a meaningful life. GLS students also enjoy rich interactions with other faculty, such as those who teach in concentration areas or the senior colloquium, and the senior year thesis supervisor.
Academic advisors provide students practical information about the GLS curriculum, the administrative aspects of class selection and registration, and junior year site selection. They offer advice about how to navigate the various administrative offices at NYU and the complexities of NYU policies and procedures. Academic advisors also have current information regarding declaring a cross school minor, and the transition to the junior year abroad. They also can provide comprehensive information about university-wide student support services.
(Sophomore students currently studying abroad should counsult with Global at email@example.com.)

Ok, those are really great. I love the first image. I think the first time I thought beyond 'nice, comfortable porch' for an outdoor living space was when I visited a friend who was staying at a mountain cabin. The cabin had a large screened-in porch, with two twin mattresses suspended from the ceiling in one section of the porch. That got me thinking about just how much living you really could do partially outdoors.ReplyDelete

Tethercell lets you control any battery powered device wirelessly
Home automation isn't what we'd call easy to set up. Enabling wireless control of all of your stuff is a hassle, and for most things we just want to be able to turn them on and off at will. At CES, a company called Tetherboard was showing off Tethercell, a battery hack that allows wireless control of anything that runs on AAs.
AA batteries are damn small as it is, and it's not like they have electronics inside them to hack. It's more or less impossible to squeeze anything else into battery compartments on most gadgets, but Tetherboard came up with a solution: instead of using only AA batteries to power devices that use them, Tetherboard swaps out one of those AAs for a much smaller AAA battery encased in a shell stuffed with electronics and Bluetooth connectivity that ends up at the same size as a regular AA. It's very clever, and looks like this:
As far as the device can tell, AA and AAA batteries are functionally identical. The only difference is that AAAs give you less capacity, but with Tethercell, you don't need to swap them all out, just one of them. And once you have that Tethercell-enabled AAA in there, it's like having a wireless on/off switch that you can control with an app your phone. You can set schedules and timers, get notifications when the batteries are running low, and the app even integrates with social networking sites (and lots of other services).
Tethercell was invented by a father of three who wanted some way of keeping his kids from playing with a super annoying electronic toy guitar, but didn't want to make A Big Deal out of taking the guitar away all the time. With a Tethercell battery inside, he could make the guitar stop working whenever it was starting to drive him nuts, and the kids would just find something else to do.
The biggest downside here as far as home automation goes is that the range of Bluetooth is limited to things that are near you. That said, It's not impossible to imagine a little Bluetooth thingy that hooks up to your router and enables true remote control, and despite the additional layer of complexity that that would bring, you'd still be getting the benefit of wireless control of virtually anything that runs on batteries. But we're getting ahead of ourselves, and as it is, Tethercell is a nifty way to give anything that runs on AA batteries a wireless on/off switch, which is impressive enough all by itself.
Tethercell is currently on Indiegogo, and you can pick up a Tethercell plus the app for $35.

Apple says iPhone 'Do Not Disturb' bug should resolve itself
Apple logo
An iPhone bug will continue to plague users until it fixes itself, manufacturers have said.
The Do Not Disturb mode is designed to silence phones for selected periods but it stopped working on New Year's Day.
Apple has now said the glitch will continue until next week when it should resolve itself.
"After 1 January, Do Not Disturb mode stays on past its scheduled end time," the firm said. "Do Not Disturb scheduling feature will resume normal functionality after 7 January 2013. Before this date, you should manually turn the Do Not Disturb feature on or off."
The popular function was added to the latest version of Apple's iOS software so people could sleep or attend meetings without disruption.
But it sparked an outcry when users found it did not reset itself as scheduled on New Year's Day. Many took to Apple's website to express their frustration.
One user wrote: "I have to switch it on and off manually, which is of course next to useless".
Another said: "It's really disappointing but it seems that Apple has started to reduce its software quality!"
And another added: "Whoever does the coding for clock, alarms, AND wants their butt kicking or sacked. Apples (sic) history with alarms and clock issues is not great. We are not talking about complex apps here."
Other users described the issue as "very frustrating" and reported similar problems happening at the same time each year.
Latest Issue
"Are you a digital native or an analogue native? The analogue aesthetic is alive and well at work in art, music, fashion and many other aspects of culture"

So what if Carbon isn't redefining the street racing genre - really, at this point, what could? It hits a sweet spot of intensity, danger, and style.
Regardless of that feeling of déjà vu, Carbon is another solid racer from EA, and the Auto-Sculpt feature is absolutely fantastic, not to mention the impressive car roster and functional online component.
A huge omission is the lack of online play at all, and releasing an Xbox racer without an online component is like building a car without wheels.

Enjoy your bacon sarnie this morning with a clear conscience
Red meat and alcohol are major cancer causes - Telegraph
Millions of people are at risk of getting cancer unless they slash levels of alcohol and red meat in their diets, medical experts have warned in a landmark study.....
I have actually downloaded the report , all 537 pages of it. It is a vast data dredge. I have failed to spot any Relative Risks which approach 2 - (an increase of 100%) - In epidemiologic research, [increases in risk of less than 100 percent] are considered small and are usually difficult to interpret. Such increases may be due to chance, statistical bias, or the effects of confounding factors that are sometimes not evident. [Source: National Cancer Institute, Press Release, October 26, 1994.]
Of course if we want to really save "10,000 deaths a year from cancer" according to a report four years ago by Professor Karol Sikora we just have to improve our healthcare to the European average for cancer treatment. That is 10,000 that die because of the NHS and the unique way it is run. And as he says in response to this report;
THE World Cancer Research Fund has dramatised the "bullet points" and has exaggerated the risk by saying, for example, don't eat bacon and processed meat. Small amounts of these won't do you any harm - it's only harmful when you eat a lot of fat, with no fibre, no fruit and no vegetables.
It is true that people who eat a lot of meat and fatty meat - the sausage-and-chips culture - eat less fruit and vegetables and that is probably why they have a higher risk of cancer. It's not the meat itself that is doing it.
There is nothing new from this report and it has created an awful lot of stress amongst people, and cancer patients now feel that if they'd only eaten more sensibly in their lives they wouldn't be in the situation they're in.
Yesterday in my clinic I had patients asking exactly that and it is not really very helpful. A third of all cancers are dietary related but the message is very complicated. We've all got to eat and it's a matter of balancing foods that are good for you, such as fruit and vegetables, and the foods that may be bad.
This report is scaremongering without really any data whatsoever and that upsets people. It is not going to change people's lifestyles. It will make people worry unnecessarily. ..

A suspicious package delivered to the Disney Cruise Liner 'Magic' today sparked an evacuation of the ship as it was in port at Port Canaveral, Florida.
A private security company that Disney contracts to use bomb-sniffing dogs through its liners found the package, which was addressed to a crewmember. The package, as it turns out, was a wireless transmitter for a laptop computer.

Where I stayed
Jacaranda Inn
Woke up with a spot of diahorrea at least on the one meal a day diet it is easy to pin down the cause. We then started a heavy day of planning how we are attacking the remainder of our trip. We always seem to end up in a dead end and so today we finally accepted the fact that we may have to swim from Colombia across to Panama and not worry about it (so less is Erica's fear of sharks these days). It seriously took hours and after about an hour in the LAN office we managed to book a South America Air Pass with LAN, which takes in some rather extravagant places we initially left off because they were two expensive. Anyway why spoil the surprise. We ended up in the Irish Pub for lunch, Erica on an all day breakfast, me roast chicken dinner, both with a coffee. We grabbed another bottle of Inca Cola and went to see my mate in the chemist
At 7pm we had to attend the travel agent for a presentation about the Inca trail (that hasn't happened yet but we want the blog back up to date before we leave for the Inca Trail and to spend New Years Eve on top of a mountain during the rainy season. Anyway Happy New Year blog readers, thanks for reading, commenting and messaging us throughout the year, it has been a great year and also the fastest and most expensive of our lives. Take Care and Peace out.
After a short interlude (approximately 4 days) we will be back with you to share our tales of the Inca Trail, until then amigos.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
What a totally awesome year of adventures, we've enjoyed it all and we haven't even left Stocky Heath. Have a fantastic time at Machi Picci.....we're out with Biff & Amy in Manc at some Jazz club for NYE (groooooovy). See you in 2011. xxxxxxxx
Happy New Year from here as well!
Hey Cheryl, I had almost exactly the same thought. (I didn't notice the tash at first on this low res screen.)

Adams was arrested in September by police who were called to 24 Juneberry Lane by another resident on the block who told police Adams had been committing lewd acts in his window for about two hours.
