Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
In 2002 we divided and short platted a lot from a large lot with a house in which we lived. We obtained a covenant to install a dual side sewer in which both the new lot and the lot with the house would be served. We eventually sold the house but retained the lot. We would like to sell the lot now and a builder would like to buy it. His realtor contacted the owners of the house with a request for an easement to service the sewer should a problem arise since a portion of the sewer runs along their property. For whatever reason, they have refused. Consequently, it is very difficult to sell the lot with this problem unresolved. If we were to abandon the existing sewer and install a new sewer to the street in front of the new lot, it would cost thousands of dollars. This doesn't seem fair since we already spent thousands for the dual sewer in 2002.
The Realtor reviewing the Covenant establishing the sewer line is insufficient. The Covenant to install the line to serve both lots may have contained an implied easement on both lots to service the line. You will need a lawyer to do a legal review of it in order to know what rights the owner of the lot has. You might have to bring an action (sue) to establish, or quiet title to the easement through a court judgment in order to sell the lot to a builder. The key question will be if legal costs would be more than installing a new sewer line.

Shutterstock VP on using OpenStack to build your own private cloud
You've probably heard about OpenStack, the open source project specifically designed to help organizations roll out their own massively scalable cloud infrastructures. To better understand how OpenStack can benefit enterprises, we approached Chris Fischer, the VP of technology operations at Shutterstock.
A well-recognized stock photography agency, Shutterstock leverages OpenStack to drive its infrastructure that is used to host the millions of stock photos, videos and illustrations. Fischer outlines how enterprises can benefit from OpenStack, and shares his experience in deploying OpenStack and highly scalable systems in general. Below are his responses, which have been edited for length.
FCIO: Can you briefly outline what OpenStack is?
OpenStack is an open source cloud platform that enables you to build and manage your own private cloud installation. The advantages of running your own private cloud are numerous, ranging from substantial cost savings to tighter control over hardware resources or performance characteristics. If you use OpenStack to build your own infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platform you can control disk, memory and CPU profiles that match your application's unique needs, giving you predictable cost, performance and fine-tuned control over your infrastructure that can be difficult to procure from public cloud providers.
FCIO: Why should enterprises be interested in OpenStack?
As the Internet and enterprise ecosystems continually become more software defined, high-performing organizations should keep their eyes on technologies that provide either opportunities to streamline operations and minimize cost, or ones that enable faster product development and elastic access to resources.
OpenStack offers a flexible API that developers can interact with directly to provision resources and nodes as needed. This reduces development time and moves your ops team into a role of "tool development" so they can focus their time building systems that add value to our organization. In the early days, all these capabilities had to be developed in house, now OpenStack can do a lot of the heavy lifting.
From a pure capital management perspective, private clouds can be created that offer significant cost advantages in both OPEX and CAPEX relative to current public cloud offerings. Public clouds still come at a pretty steep premium. By managing your resource utilization effectively using just-in-time resources, you can create massive savings.
OpenStack also provides a unique view into your corporate resources using quotas. It's trivial to assign specific quotas to groups or business units inside your company and essentially track usage costs, and assign them to the appropriate vertical.
FCIO: How can enterprises start deploying OpenStack in their organizations?
Deploying OpenStack is a business commitment. First and foremost, moving your enterprise operations to an IaaS platform is a decision that requires organization wide buy-in and support. All resources in OpenStack will be highly virtualized and development teams will need to be on-board with a VM based environment. I'd also recommend a high degree of emphasis on standardizing images and build types as you can quickly create a tough environment to manage if your technology stack grows unchecked.
Managing the cluster has a learning curve, you'll want a team of engineers who are familiar with (or can learn) Nova, Swift and the OpenStack cluster management in general. It also doesn't hurt if they can write some Python and contribute to the source code. You definitely want a team of folks who are familiar with open source development, know how to file bugs and use channels like forums and IRC to get support. The source code for OpenStack is available online and can be downloaded and installed on commodity hardware systems, and comes in packaged formats for several well-supported operating systems.
One thing to note when choosing disk/network vendors is that some have offerings that integrate into the cluster allowing their hardware to be software-defined. Arista/Juniper are good network choices depending on your approach and needs for network. For disk we use Coraid to provide all our shared storage as they have some products that tie in directly with our OpenStack deployment making persistent disk pretty transparent. Lastly, there are many OpenStack integrators out in the wild and consulting services are available if needed. Look to companies like Piston or SwiftStack if you need specific domain expertise.
FCIO: How does Shutterstock leverage OpenStack to build its infrastructure?
Shutterstock's strategy with OpenStack has multiple phases. In phase one, OpenStack was deployed to replace a hybrid cloud and hardware environment for all development and QA resources. This enabled large levels of cost savings and flexibility, as well as a great interface into our development and QA resources. The most useful function was that developers could deploy their nodes and resources with little operations interaction, which is pretty key as we have hundreds of VMs in our DEV/QA stack. With developers able to take care of the basics, operations spent time building systems for configuration management and monitoring instead of setting up VMs.
In the second (and ongoing phase) OpenStack is being deployed more widely to replace our current virtualization platform. The current platform is KVM and LibVirt with custom applications to manage provisioning and deployment of our nodes. Because OpenStack is replacing the virtualization layer, we are able to reuse all our configuration management code (puppet), as well as our orchestration software. The transition involves deploying new VMs and moving services from the old stack to the new. The scale of our production nodes is in the multiples of data centers and thousands of nodes.
FCIO: Can you highlight some shortcomings in OpenStack as it stands today?
OpenStack isn't without flaws. In initial releases, integration with central authentication systems (LDAP) was clunky at best. In addition, the networking stack and integration with networking vendors was lacking and only now is this starting to improve. In any cloud environment load balancing and network services are key, and without a network your fleet won't do much. OpenStack's features in this area are lacking, but can be managed via designing your system with this in mind from the beginning using open source or appliance based load balancing. Similarly, OpenStack doesn't have built in PaaS solutions (like Amazon's Redshift, load balancing, or RDS) so for organizations that need a fully-featured platform based solution, OpenStack doesn't have all the answers right now.
FCIO: Any other comments about highly scalable systems in general?
Build for failure. Don't expect systems, nodes and hardware to live forever. If systems can't disappear without your application degrading, challenge that and make alterations to your code to address it and provide a consistent user experience even if the infrastructure isn't operating at 100 percent.
Always scale out if possible, make simple design choices and try to minimize complexity. The most robust and elegant solutions are often the dead simple ones. If you can't explain a system and draw it on a white board, you might be over complicating it. Focus on what's core to your business and make those systems bombproof. It's very easy to get lost focusing on edge cases or inappropriately classifying core work as technical debt. Hyper-focusing on what must work in your application is a great exercise. Always improve those areas of your system key to your business; it's not debt, its engineering excellence.
Finally, remember that people are the most important part of building a successful technology system. Keep your people focused on improving your core capabilities, performance, product development, etc. Automate away everything else and make the best use of your scarcest resource, your engineers.

Could I still be pregnant?
My fiancee and I have been trying to conceive for a few weeks now. I took a pregnancy test which came out negative and shortly after i got the result i started bleeding so i'm assuming its my period. It's almost on time just a day early. Could I still be pregnant if we just tried to conceive the night before?

*sobbing* I loved Hok! I knew he wouldn't win the competition, but I was crossing my fingers that he would make the tour, as he is quite popular. The judges dashed that hope in a hurry. Although he has been cut from the competition, there is no denying that he has loads of talent, and will make it far. Good luck to him!

Too bad some of the dancers are eliminated based upon the choreography rather than talent. We will never know how diverse Hok really is…he should never have told them he was an old man…Part of the problem is his height and that is why he looked like he lacked talent. He excelled at his solos which are his strengths…while others whose solos are weak were saved. I don't know…it was clear…the judges were gunning for Hok on Wed. night. He never stood a chance.

I thought Anya should have been eliminated last week instead of Shauna. I think Shauna had a lot more talent than was shown. Unfortunately, she was paired with Cedric, who could have brought even Lacey (the best female dancer) down. The problem with dancing in pairs is that your partner's weaknesses are going to influence your overall performance, and that's what happened with her. Anya should have been gone a long time ago.
Senator Phil Gramm (R-Texas) Says:
July 20th, 2007 at 11:43 am
Lauren is so lucky to make the Top 10 tour, but she has NO CHANCE IN H*LL of making the Top 8 next week.
I also think Kameron's days are numbered next week, he won't have Lacey saving his skin since they have new partners and this time America votes for individuals like Idol instead of couples.
Next week's prediction on who'll go home: Lauren and Kameron.
Senator Phil Gramm (R-Texas) Says:
July 20th, 2007 at 11:45 am
Annie, of course Hok never had a chance because the judges didn't want another breakdancer in the Tour since b-boy Dominic and b-girl Sara were locks for the top 10 tour anyway.
It's like Musa, who I still think got screwed over last season, if American had kicked Ryan to the curb, Musa could have easily made it to the Top 10 tour.
linda Says:
October 19th, 2007 at 3:23 pm
the only people that voted for Hok were other breakdancers and asians…hes lucky he made it to top 12.
anya shudnt have gone.jamie should have gone instead.
Ed Says:
October 20th, 2007 at 3:25 pm
I don't think hok should of been eliminated! He was one of best!!

Tabatha Takes Over Recap: Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder?
March 28, 2012 02:32 PM by Shayla Perry
This week on Bravo, Tabatha Coffey is at it again, helping a salon in Atlanta, GA get back on track after its owner has all but bailed on the business. Will she be able to make a difference before the owner loses her salon and her home? Get all the highlights from the latest episode of Tabatha Takes Over after the jump.
Kim Krohn is the owner of Salon Deco, a 9-year-old establishment located in a suburb of Atlanta, GA. Admittedly, Kim has no desire to work at the salon, but after borrowing against her husband's 401K, the business is still failing, and facing foreclosure, just like the family's home, leaving Kim no options but to make her investment pay-off.
After surprising Kim and showing up at the salon, Tabatha learns that part of the problem is Kim's absence. She's only there about three days a week, spending more of her time at home with her two sons.
Kim's practically chosen the salon over the family's house, sinking more and more money into it, while the home remains in foreclosure.
But Kim's "laid-back" attitude isn't the only problem. Her employees spend their days at work flashing people, slacking off, and talking bad about her while she's not there.
And there's more….
During the staff meeting, Kim's employees echo everything that Tabatha has already said. The bottom line: Kim just doesn't want to be at the salon…and it shows.
The assessment proves that each of the staff members could use some education; especially Kim, who's got everyone still using foil boards when doing highlights, leaving the clients to constantly pass the hairdressers foil during their treatments. Not professional at all!
With Kim not willing to budge on how much she's at the salon, Tabatha tells her she'd be better off selling it and storms off before having a chat with Kim's husband to see if he can get through to her.
He's been extremely supportive of his wife's dream, but now, he needs to help Kim realize that she needs to WORK.
To illustrate her point, Tabatha takes the couple to their home which she's had boarded up and padlocked with a foreclosure sign out front. Kim's husband is immediately brought to tears, which compels her to put forth the effort necessary to save both the house and the business.
A few lessons in teamwork from Atlanta's Jungle Boogie, and some big renovations, and the ladies of Salon Deco are ready for a fresh new start.
At re-launch, everyone pulls together and does an excellent job, with Tabatha's only recommendation being that Kim actually show up and give the business her all.
Six weeks later, things are still going well at Salon Deco, business is increasing, and Kim, having implemented all of Tabatha's recommendations, is like a new person!

Secrets of Success
Sunday, June 17, 2012
I have recently run across info on Earthing..something I had never heard of until recently. This morning I read an article by Dr. Mercola regarding aspirin use and part of it included advice abut earthing. I thought it so interesting, I am sharing that part here. Here is the full article link:
Here is the section I was interested in:
How Earthing can Affect Your Blood
Earthing may actually be one of the best-kept secret strategies for preventing blood clots. In its simplest terms, Earthing (or grounding your body) is what occurs when you walk barefoot upon the Earth. There is a transfer of free electrons from the Earth to your body. And these free electrons are probably some of the most potent antioxidants known to man. These antioxidants are responsible for the clinical observations seen in Earthing experiments, such as:
Beneficial changes in heart rate
Decreased skin resistance
Decreased inflammation
Earthing has been shown to produce a number of health benefits, including decreasing pain and inflammation, improving sleep, and even slowing the aging process. One very important discovery, and one of the most recent, is that Earthing thins your blood, making it less viscous. This discovery could have profound implications for cardiovascular disease.
Virtually every aspect of cardiovascular disease has been correlated with elevated blood viscosity.
Earthing experts Dr. Stephen Sinatra and Dr. James Oschman measure blood viscosity using a method called zeta potential, which is a measure of how quickly your red blood cells migrate in an electrical field. When you ground to the earth, your zeta potential quickly rises, which means your red blood cells have more charge on their surface, forcing them away from each other.
Earthing causes your blood to flow more easily and your blood pressure to drop.
It follows then when your red blood cells become more electro native they are less inclined to stick together and form a clot. They actually repel each other similar to two magnets with the same pole.
Blood clots don't have to be very big to form a mass that could kill you instantly (such as pulmonary embolus), so this is an important part of lowering your risk for heart attack, stroke, and multi-infarct dementias, where you start losing brain tissue due to micro-clotting in your brain.
This is what many physicians erroneously believe low-dose aspirin is doing for you, and why it's so widely prescribed. The problem is, as you have seen from the studies summarized above, science just hasn't been able to prove that aspirin does what it was intended to do. Rather, studies show that aspirin has several dangerous side effects.

What an interesting blog! There is so much to discover about our bodies, isn't there? When man was put in the garden of Eden, he certainly wasn't given a pair of shoes. Earthing makes sense.

Thanks for sharing this information. I hate shoes - one because my feet are so darn big that I usually have to wear men's shoes, but two, I just love how the ground feels on my bare feet - even when it's muddy ! Now I know when I go for a walk or run outside it's perfectly ok to skip the sneakers and keep my feet in contact with the ground .... I just may have to start having regular pedicures !

Well, now we know what shoes are depriving us of! Besides causing our arches to drop and pain, they are actually depriving us of essential elements of the earth! Very informative article. Thanks for sharing.

I love this, and I love going bare-foot! Now I have even better reason to do so, thank you Asta. I also agree, Jehovah made this earth perfect for us, and there are so many things we have yet to discover. In the new system we will have so much more to learn about our wonderful earth.

Asta, I had read about this back when Mack was back in the hospital with multiple blood clots in his lungs (from his accident).
I've known most of my life that walking barefoot in good earth (not pesticide covered grass, not places full of prickly or stickery stuff) like organic soils, beach sands, or open fields and such has a very good effect upon the human body. Reading all of this science behind it only makes me appreciate it even more so! Mack isn't so impressed - but we'll see - he may come around to this understanding one day.
I just think it's so awesome that Jehovah God has truly provided everything that could be needed for our health and well-being! It's too bad that so many of man's 'creations' and inventions and progress do so much harm to us - but no one sees that until years later when they question the increase of some disease process or something.

a serious danger to the region," Mladenov told AFP.
"Iraq faces the biggest threat to its sovereignty and territorial integrity" in years.
The violence has stoked regional tensions, with Iraq accusing neighbouring Saudi Arabia today of "siding with terrorism" and financing the militants.
The comments came a day after the Sunni kingdom blamed "sectarian" policies by Iraq's Shiite-led government for triggering the unrest.
The prime minister of Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region told the BBC it would be "almost impossible" for the country to return to how it was before the offensive, and called for Sunni Arabs to be granted an autonomous region of their own.
Alarmed by the collapse of much of the security forces in the face of the militant advance, foreign governments have begun pulling out diplomatic staff.
US President Barack Obama announced that around 275 military personnel "equipped for combat" were being deployed to Iraq to help protect the embassy in Baghdad and assist US nationals.
Washington has already deployed an aircraft carrier to the Gulf, but Obama has ruled out a return to combat in Iraq for US soldiers. As the US weighed its next move, Secretary of State John Kerry said that drone strikes could be used.
Washington has ruled out cooperating militarily with Tehran, but the two governments -- which have been bitter foes for more than 30 years -- held "brief discussions" on the crisis in Vienna.
Drones have been used by the US against militants in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen, but have been criticised by human rights groups for their heavy civilian toll.
Doubts are growing that the Iraqi security forces can hold back the militant tide, despite military commanders trumpeting a counter-offensive.
Soldiers and police fled en masse as the insurgents swept into Iraq's second city of Mosul a week ago, abandoning their vehicles and uniforms.
The jihadists are said to have killed scores of Iraqi soldiers as they pushed their advance, including in a "horrifying" massacre in Salaheddin province that has drawn international condemnation.
Top Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani has called for volunteers to join the battle against the militants and thousands have signed up.

Yesterday, we talked about a 3 painfully 20th Century Things that Theatres Do, and in the intervening 24 hours, I'm sure venues across the land have reversed course on all of them. 🙂
So, just to keep you busy today and tomorrow, I have a couple of ideas that are what I consider frame-breakers. I've talked about frame-breaking before, and it's important. Here's a little snippet from my earlier entry on the topic:
"This is a worldwide time of frame-breaking. Almost nothing is too bold to be unacceptable now. Very few of the old norms will withstand the next few years in business, entertainment, and in many other areas of our lives. This is not necessarily a bad thing or a good thing, but it is real. That little voice in your head telling you that things are changing rapidly is the one you need to be listening to.
At TED, Daniel Liebeskind said 'We always respect the well-mannered box.'
But it may just be that the age of the well-mannered box is over."
And in the intervening months, I'm more confident than ever that this is true. The world is not just changing. Hell, the world is ALWAYS changing.
Instead, the world is being re-made, and it's the frame breakers who will decide what it looks like when the process is done.
So with all that build-up, here they are:
Start before the show starts; don't end when the show ends.
All the media technology that has developed over the last couple decades has facilitated fan obsession in a way that was never possible before. If you were, say, a fan of a certain musician 30 years ago, you could go see a concert, buy a t-shirt and wear it, read a fan magazine, possibly get together with other fans at an annual convention, but then what?
In other words, it was hard to be a total geek for something in those days. It's much easier now.
But what are most theatres or live entertainment venues doing to capitalize on that? Pretty close to nothing, I'd say.
Who's to say, though, that a "show" has to be contained within the well-mannered couple of hours that you're sitting in your seat in the venue?
Several years ago, there was a game called Majestic that crossed just about every boundary that a video game can cross. You played it on the computer, but on its time, not yours. You got emails, faxes, even phone calls from (automated) people within the game that would give you information in real time that you had to react to.
In other words, the game came to you, and the subject matter was creepy enough that, frankly, after a couple weeks, I found it unsettling. (Then 9/11 hit, and the whole thing felt so wrong for the moment that I think it folded.)
But taking the core of that idea, does a show have to start and end in the two hours you're in the building? Is there some way that you, as a participant, can get involved before and after in a way that feels important to the experience?
Another way to think of this is the way that the TV show Lost has made "the Lost experience" part of being a fan. They've created a world of content and participation that makes Lost more than just a show for its fans.
What's interesting is that although it's difficult to create this, it isn't expensive. It's about content creation, which theatres and other venues should be good at. It's about hustle, not resources.
The payoff is that your fans take over. Go check out Lostpedia and see what happens when you give fans something more to sink their teeth into.
How can live entertainment venues do this? I leave that to the professional content creators, but I'm confident it can contribute dramatically to audience development and success in the venues that figure it out.
Tomorrow, I'll discuss Making Sure You're Not Starting from Zero on Each Show.

KOCHI/ NEW DELHI: In an ironic twist, American multinationals are thriving in communist Kerala. It's most evident in Kochi, the most cosmopolitan city in the state, where fast-food majors McDonald's, KFC and Pizza Hut are doing sizzling business.
Already known for its fetish for gold — the state consumes almost 10% of the total yellow metal sold in the country — and fad for fast cars — it's the fastestgrowing market for luxury cars — Kochi is now making another statement, by feasting on burgers, pizzas and chicken wings.

They call him the "Godfather." For 14 years, John Watkins held supreme authority over the homeless encampments deep in the Hollywood hills. So it was with some trepidation that volunteers armed with clipboards picked their way up a rugged trail to his mountain hideaway one morning, hoping he would answer questions about his health and housing situation. Their goal: to identify and find homes for the 20 people at greatest risk of early death if left on the streets of Hollywood. Organizers of the grass-roots effort had no money to help those they interviewed. But they hoped that by putting names and faces to some of the most vulnerable residents, the community would rally to help. A year later, the early results are promising. Thirty-seven chronically homeless people are in apartments; 34 others are expected to be housed within weeks, and more than $800,000 has been raised to sustain the effort. Watkins, right, at an appointment with Orem. It took several months for volunteers to persuade Watkins, the "Godfather" of the Hollywood Hills, to move into an apartment.

About Us
We at Tako Kyuuban have wondered for years, "Where could we get good takoyaki in Seattle?". Other than frozen or from a restaurant where it's made in the kitchen (don't know how it's made or what's put in it), there are no other options. We started Tako Kyuuban to bring takoyaki to the Greater Seattle area the way it was meant to be, freshly made while you watch. We are currently selling takoyaki at events but with your continued support and interest we hope to have a permanent location soon.

Consumer Protection Law
Consumer Protection Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hello and welcome to Just Answer. For over 35 years, I have answered questions just like yours. And I look forward to assisting you.
Thanks for your question. First, it is a consumer matter. And, as part of the many complaints you would allege in your complaint would be both breath of contract AND fraud. But here is the problem. Any attorney that you speak with wants to be paid. And it is will be very difficult to find an attorney to take the case on a contingency. Having said that, you are facing paying several thousand dollars in up front attorney fees with no guarantee of ever seeing a return as this company could file Bankruptcy and wipe out your debt. Therefore, unless you can find an attorney to take the case on a contingency, your best advice is to file a complaint with the federal trade commission (ftc.gov) And if enough people do so, the FTC will pursue criminal charges. But don't assume anything will happen as the FTC works extremely slowly. Sorry. Wish I could give you more positive news. thanks for understanding. Please be so kind as to rate my answer ok or better so that I can get paid for assisting you. I wish you well.
My husband and I both have legal insurance through our work, so it is paid 80/20 by the insurance and we can for sure pay the 20%, so that is not a problem. The Insurance keeps giving us attorneys that would be able to cover this; but they keep saying it is either Tax Fraud or the Consumer Protection. I have already filed a complaint with the FTC, per the request/hint of the IRS. Though I have never heard anything from them, it is good to know they are related to molasses. So, basically, we are out the $26k that we have paid them over all these years. Very sad, that's my annual salary.
If you have legal insurance, it may be worth paying the 20% copay. Arguably, if you get a judgment, but still do not collect, with the judgment you can use this against any federal taxes you owe as an offset. And you can use the offset over a ten year period. So if you lost $26000, you can deduct $2600 per year for ten years against your IRS tax bill. And at least this is something.
Thanks for understanding. Please rate my answer ok or better.
and since the amount we now owe the IRS doubled in the last 5 years could we ask for that back or take that off our taxes?
Sir, thank you for your time and answers, I will speak with my husband and move forward in pursuing it.

The verdict is in, a Jury found Claude McCollum guilty of killing Lansing Community College professor Carolyn Kronenberg.
After hours of deliberation the jury came to their final decision late Tuesday night.
Professor Kronenburg was found murdered in her LCC classroom in January of 2005. The 60-year-old woman had been beaten, strangled, and raped.
McCollum was charged with felony murder and first degree criminal sexual conduct.
Police say McCollum had information about the crime that only the killer could have known. McCollum now faces up to life behind bars; his sentencing is set for next month.

Do you want to learn how to become a welder in Maryland quickly?
We've helped people just like you from Dundalk, Glen Burnie, Silver Spring, Woodlawn, Catonsville, and the surrounding areas get the skills they need from our Baltimore campus.
If you're interested in pursuing a new career as a professional welder, keep reading to learn just what you can do to take control of your future today.
If you have questions, or if you'd like to speak with an admissions representative, call (800) 638-5490 today. Or you can click a button below to contact us online.
In order to be successful in a skilled trade like welding, you need the kind of training that teaches you what there is to know about the skill.
Because welding is used in a wide variety of situations, there are just as many different techniques that a skilled welder needs to be familiar with.
Just what are some of the different things that you learn through welding training?
Being well versed in these three areas will allow you to build a foundation for a great career in an area that will be in demand.
With the instruction that you receive through welding career training, you would know just what to expect when working on a job site, and that level of preparation can help you get ahead in your career.
It's understandable that you would want to know just how long training is going to take. Courses at community colleges often take two years while those at traditional colleges often take four.
Fortunately, an education at a trade school can be completed in a fraction of that time.
For full time students, welding training at welding schools can be completed in nine months.
This means that you can learn the essential skills needed to succeed in your career in much less time than most people following a traditional educational path.

Rooms with Windows
National | Microsoft tries to bring PCs out of the den, Apple loses the pastels, and Moxi speeds up digital convergence
Windows to the world
Microsoft wants Americans to have Windows in their living rooms. Chairman Bill Gates plans to launch two new products intended to make the PC more functional in everyday life. They are intended to make Windows more useful for home entertainment. The most important new release is code-named Mira. This technology powers small handheld tablets that function like a cross between a handheld computer and a TV remote. Instead of just sitting at a desk or the kitchen table, users can go anywhere in the house and play games, check e-mail, or do spreadsheets on a portable device that interacts with PCs. Mira is also supposed to work with Microsoft's Xbox gaming system and new flat-screen TVs. Working alongside Mira is new software called Freestyle that would allow people to use a remote control on their PCs for playing movies, slide shows, and music files. It lets users operate their computers like a VCR or stereo without having to sit at a keyboard. Technologies like this help resolve a psychological impasse: Home users tend to place their PCs in dens, bedrooms, and kitchens instead of the living room. This makes watching video or listening to music on computer less comfortable. Simple tasks like checking the weather or sports scores can be a bit of a chore. Now that wireless technology is becoming mainstream, developments like Mira and Freestyle help cross the barrier and let the computer become a bigger part of a person's home entertainment setup. They also help Microsoft face its historic challenge of making the PC easier to use for the average consumer. Big Mac attack
Is it a computer or a desk lamp? Apple's new iMac has dropped the familiar pastel-colored egg design for a whole new look. These 2002 models feature a 15-inch flat-screen monitor that connects with a swivel bar to a white base containing the components. Apple CEO Steve Jobs showed off the new invention at the Macworld Expo trade show, as the computer industry continues to look for a path out of economic doldrums. The last generation of iMacs sold 6 million units in three years, and many hope the new look, new screen, and faster processor will attract customers ready for the update. The high-end model hits stores this month. For a whopping $1,799, buyers will receive an 800 MHz G4 processor, 256 megabytes of memory, a 60 gigabyte hard drive and a so-called "SuperDrive" that can write and record CDs and DVDs. Apple plans to release two less-powerful models for $1,299 and $1,499 in February and March. Apple's future plans center on what Mr. Jobs calls the "digital hub" strategy, which envisions the Mac as a home base for MP3 players, handhelds, cameras, and whatever else can use a USB connection. Regardless of whether the new iMacs succeed, this launch likely marks the end of the traditional computer monitor, as the flat screen is now standard equipment on new computers. "The CRT (cathode ray tube, like those used in standard TVs) display is now officially dead," Mr. Jobs proclaimed. A lot of Moxi
Remember "digital convergence?" This late-'90s buzzword referred to a future in which all the audio, video, and computer data in a house are interconnected. A new device called the Moxi Media Center may bring this concept closer to reality. This device is a big hard drive that can record and send signals to several TVs, stereos, or computers throughout a home. It allows people to use e-mail, instant messaging, music, or TV programs in various parts of the house. The same device can send different programs into different rooms. It works like a typical home computer network, using either a wireless or wired connections. Moxi Digital, a company founded by WebTV entrepreneur Steve Perlman, developed the Moxi secretly for two years. The venture plans to license the invention to cable and satellite providers who will put the technology in their next generation boxes. The Moxi is still on the expensive side: $425 for a single TV and $250 for an additional set, but it shows where technology is headed. So far, interactive TV and digital recorders have had great fanfare but lackluster sales. One problem is that digital convergence-style devices are confusing to novices, not to mention expensive. "The world isn't really ready for this," Josh Bernoff, an analyst with Forrester Research, said about the Moxi. "But in 2002, we'll see the world getting itself ready for this kind of product."

For a film just entering its fifth decade, "Deliverance" still maintains a real power to horrify. Based on James Dickey's poetic novel, and adapted by the writer himself, it follows four friends (Burt Reynolds, Jon Voight, Ned Beatty and Ronny Cox) who go for a canoeing trip together in the Georgia wilderness, only to come into terrifying conflict with some inbred locals. And that plotline taps into very primal fears -- man vs. nature, town vs. country -- and perhaps most memorably, it preys on masculinity, thanks to film's unforgetabble rape sequence.
It's remains shocking stuff today, so we can only image how it must've marked moviegoers when it theaters forty years ago on July 30, 1972. But despite the grim nature of the drama, the film was a huge hit, winning three Oscar nominations (including Best Picture and Directing), making Burt Reynolds a star, rescuing Voight's career, introducing theater actors Beatty and Cox, and cementing director John Boorman's position among the A-list. With the film celebrating its ruby anniversary today, it seemed like a good time to highlight five things you may not be aware of about the film. Read on below.
The critically acclaimed "Point Blank" and "Hell In The Pacific" made John Boorman quite a hot prospect in Hollywood, and while 1970's "Leo The Last" was a flop, it had won Boorman the Best Director award at Cannes, so he was still very much on top. Even so, he wasn't the first choice of James Dickey, the author and screenwriter of "Deliverance," who was adamant that Sam Peckinpah was the man for the job. And given how much the story's theme matched Peckinpah's interests, it would have been a great choice, but the director had gone wildly over schedule and budget on 1970's "The Ballad Of Cable Hogue," and as such, was not in the good books at Warner Bros, who held the rights to "Deliverance." Fortunately, Boorman pulled the gig off. As for casting, a who's who of leading men were approached before the director landed his central foursome. Dickey suggested Gene Hackman to play Ed, while Boorman wanted his "Point Blank" star Lee Marvin for that part, with Marlon Brando for Lewis. But Marvin, on reading, told Boorman he thought they should go for younger actors. Jack Nicholson was actually announced as starring in the film by the LA Times (as Ed), but ultimately proved too expensive, Robert Redford was also considered, while Charlton Heston and Donald Sutherland both turned down Lewis (Sutherland considered it too violent at the time), and Henry Fonda, George C. Scott and Warren Beatty were also possibilities at some point. Eventually, Boorman got Burt Reynolds (in the film that made him a star), Jon Voight, and relative newcomers to film Ronny Cox and Ned Beatty, the latter of whom had been a stage actor for 25 years, but here made his first film appearance .
Dickey was a contradictory figure, a man of letters who served in the air force in both World War Two and the Korean War, an ad man who was also a college professor as well as a poet laureate. "Deliverance," which the writer hinted was based on real events (although few believe him; Boorman says "nothing in that book actually happened to him") was his first and only experience in the film industry (although after his death, the Coen Brothers tried to make a silent version of his final book, "To The White Sea," with Brad Pitt). Dickey, who was also an alcoholic, clashed heavily with Boorman throughout the shoot, particularly after the director cut the first 19 pages of the shooting script. According to Jon Voight's body double on the film, Claude Terry, Dickey would sit in a bar saying to all and sundry "God, they're ruining my fucking movie, ain't they? They're not doing my book," while Boorman says that Dickey was drunk on set, and became "very overbearing with the actors." According to legend, things reached a peak when director and writer got into a fistfight which left Boorman with a broken nose and four teeth knocked out. Dickey was ejected from the set, but was allowed to return to film a cameo as the Sheriff in the film's conclusion (although contrary to popular opinion, it's not Ed O'Neill as one of the other cops).
One of the film's least likely and longest lasting gifts to popular culture (beyond the line "squeal like a pig," which Ned Beatty claims he came up with while improvising the scene with his tormentor, Bill McKinney, while Dickey's son Christopher says it was a suggestion from a crew member) was the scene where Ronny Cox duets with an inbred hillbilly boy, played by local Billy Redden. The young man actually didn't know the banjo -- a local musician played with his arms through the young boy's sleeves while crouched behind him (Redden would, however, later play the instrument, in a cameo in Tim Burton's "Big Fish," in 2003 -- see the clip below). A year after the film's release, a version of the track, entitled "Duelling Banjos," by Eric Weissberg and Steve Mandell -- the one used in the film -- became a huge international hit, spending four weeks at #2 in the Billboard Hot 100 (behind only Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly With His Song"). But there was only one problem -- Weissberg had pinched the track from South Carolina musician Arthur 'Guitar Boogie' Smith, and failed to credit him. Smith sued, and won, and was awarded ashare of the profits, and the credits of the film were amended to include him.

In this course, students explore topics of current scientific interest through a series of lectures/discussions with experts in their respective fields. Students examine major areas of scientific relevance such as climate change, water/air pollution, medicine, nutrition, etc. Students explore how these topics have direct impact on their lives and evaluate media coverage of these issues. Exact topics will vary every semester, according to the guest lecturers' areas of expertise.
This course explores the relationship between society and the environment. Students learn about ecosystems, the effects of population growth, and the influence of energy and pollution on environmental systems. In addition, students examine the flow of energy through ecosystems; the carrying capacity of an ecosystem; water, food, and mineral resources; fossil fuels vs. alternative energy sources; air and water pollution; climate change; and waste management. The class also discusses options to sustain and preserve the planet.
This course explores the science behind representing an entertainment act, whether as an attorney, agent, manager, or business manager. Specific focus is on advising, representing, and furthering the careers of artists and others in the entertainment industry. Students will examine the basics of agencies, talent booking and contracting, shopping talent, union and government regulations, fee/commission structures, and contractual considerations. Other emphasis will be given to financial management and advising, budgeting, development of a client base, and ethical practices in advisor roles.
This course explores neuropsychology and neuroscience as it relates to the clinical practice of music therapy. Students learn about the ways human function (e.g. language, memory, movement) is affected by pathologies (e.g. aphasia, dementia, apraxia), as they come to understand how irregularities inform us about regular brain function. Students explore the way functions of the brain engage in various musical elements (rhythm, melody, preferred music). Students also review published case studies as they evaluate both the historical and modern research findings in neuroscience and music. In addition, students distinguish the brains of musicians from non-musicians, analyze how the arts impact neural development, and explore how music perception and production research can be applied to clinical practice.

Background: I bought a 'Pake C'mute' frameset a few months ago and started putting it together after moving. I had enough tools to put most things together, but nothing to install a (threadless) headset, so I let a local shop do the whole shebang (press the cups, cut the steerer) and assembled the bike.
After riding for a day or two, the headset felt a little loose, so I took to the wonderful folks at a bike co-op on the way home and we tightened up the headset. Everything great, right?
Well today I noticed that there was a significant gap between the bearing cap and the bearing cup I did some searching on here and elsewhere online and found that other people had noticed some peculiarities with their FSA headsets, but I wanted to investigate further...
I pulled it apart and noticed that the split ring doesn't want to sit in flush... one edge wants to sit higher than the other. When the bearing cap goes down, it does the same thing. The cap toward the frame side (back of the bike) has ~1.0mm of gap between itself at the cup, while the front side has 0.55mm of gap.
What could be the problem? Steerer isn't bent (problem remains the same as the steerer is turned), so I'm guessing since the cup looks fully seated that the head tube wasn't square to begin with, or it was faced improperly.

Power Outage Halts Disney Monorail, Passengers Evacuated
Published: Monday, July 14, 2014 at 8:34 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 14, 2014 at 8:34 a.m.
LAKE BUENA VISTA | A Walt Disney World spokeswoman says dozens of passengers were safely evacuated from a monorail train halted by a power outage during bad weather at its Central Florida amusement complex. She says no one was hurt.
Spokeswoman Jacquee Wahler told The Associated Press there were thunderstorms around Walt Disney World when the elevated train stopped Sunday afternoon. She says a mechanized lift helped get passengers down.
"Due to weather, there was a power outage on the monorail. There's currently one train on the system without power and all the guests are now off the train," she said in a subsequent emailed update.
Wahler says the cause of the power outage wasn't immediately known. She says there was no fire and all got down calmly.
