The Manship House originally contained six fireplaces, built back to back, that formed three massive chimney stacks. Estimated to weight about thirty tons each, the chimneys were not shifting at the same rate as the wooden sections of the house. All of the chimneys, reconstructions from the earlier restoration, were completely demolished earlier in the project to facilitate re-leveling of the structure. All six fireplaces will be completely reconstructed to their original appearance, but will not be functional.
Now that the majority of the work on the structural steel frame underneath the house has been completed, the steel frames for the chimneys can be constructed using that steel frame as a base. This will insure that if any further shifting from the Yazoo clay occurs, there will be no differential movement between the chimneys and the house. Once the construction of the steel chimney frames has been completed, the visible sections will be rebuilt using the frame as a base.

It was a great day for the players to try on their Celtics uniforms (some for the first time) and smile big for the cameras. The entire C's roster posed for individual pictures and the vast majority took time to speak with the media, including Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett as well as new comers Chris Wilcox, Keyon Dooling, and Brandon Bass. The defending Atlantic Division Champions held their 2-hour media day from 10am-12pm at their practice facility in Waltham today. Here are some quick comments and observations.

Dancers of all ages side-stepped, shuffled, kicked and more in memory of Jake Troxell during the Memorial Line Dance Benefit at Salem EC Church, Lenhartsville, on Dec. 28.
Jacob T. Troxell was a member of the church and passed away August 22, 2013 from injuries he sustained in motor vehicle accident according to his obituary. He enjoyed four-wheeling and line dancing.
"We really appreciate you coming out and helping us remember Jakey in this way," said Dave Long, pastor at Salem EC Church.
The floor was full of dancers of all ages following along to the music in familiar steps, some even adding their own style to the dance move. DJ Hot Wheelz provided the music and took requests from the dancers.
"We all know Jake. We all loved Jake. And that's why we're here," said a church member during the benefit.
Jake was a sophomore and home schooled. Along with his studies, he helped his sister in her photography business and his dad on the farm and in their automotive repair business. Jake and his sister, Sam, also owned JNS Sheep Sheering. He was one of eight children and according to the obituary, had a quick wit and was always willing to help. Most of the time, his complain was his dog Abby. His future plans included attending college and pursuing a degree in graphic design.
"Jake was somebody who wasn't afraid to speak of his faith," said a church member. Long later added that anyone was welcome to attend the Sunday church service and see part of what made Jake who he was.
At the benefit there were photographs of Jake as well as a computer playing a slideshow that attendees were able to look at throughout the event. There was also a note from the Troxell family that read "STOP. Photograph your life, capture the memories, you never know when they'll end." Thank you cards from the family with Jake's picture were available for attendees on the table as well.
Proceeds from the night benefited the Troxell family. Even those not interested in the dancing part of the night were able to sit at the tables, enjoy the food and watch the others while tapping their feet along to the music.
Based on the brief speeches and conversations during the night, the Memorial Line Dance Benefit was one of the best ways to honor Jake's memory by doing something that he loved.
Videos from the night are available on The Hamburg Area Item's tout account at tout.com.

typedef struct { int real, img; } Complex; Complex matrix[2][3] = {{9511 + 31356j, 12539 + 30273j, -32610 - 3211j}, {32767, -32768j, 6392 - 32138j}};
So this is a small example. In my real code I have 64x64 matrix, for which I have all the values, I will just need to copy and paste them from a file. The point is that the numbers are like in the above example. That said, imaginary parts end with 'j', some numbers have only real part, and some just imaginary part, and of course some both the real and imaginary parts. Therefore, I want to ask if I enter the values to my Complex matrix like in the above example, will everything be okay? I mean it will know which part is imaginary, which part real? And what will happen when the numbers don't have either their real or imaginary parts?

How many more times do folk have to be shot and killed or seriously injured in the US before folk in power get their arses into gear, say enough is enough and change the gun laws? Another bloody shooting.

There really are some sick scum in the world!
Last night/early hours of this morning, the memorial in Hyde Park to the victims of the 7/7 bombings was vandalised hours before commemoration ceremonies marking the 9th anniversary today, daubed with anti-war, anti-Blair slogans, and describing the bombers as "Four innocent Muslims". I don't care what your view is, you do not deface a memorial to the dead!
A clean-up is going on to try and remove all evidence of what waste-of-space individuals have done in time for today's commemoration.
I hope those involved in the desecration are caught and have the heaviest possible charges made against them, and are given the heaviest possible sentences. I look forward to seeing the barstewards publicly shamed and jailed. The families and friends of the 52 lost that day should not have to put up with such garbage!

Just saw a Facebook post from David Sylvian that his frequent collaborator and another one of my favorite musicians, Ryuichi Sakamoto, has been diagnosed with throat cancer.
Such a shock. Mick Karn, the bassist of Japan (Sylvian's former band) died of cancer in 2011, and that is one of the deaths, outside of family and friends, that still hits me the hardest. I wish Sakamoto all the best.

From the BBC - "A Malaysian airliner carrying 295 people has crashed in east Ukraine on a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, amid allegations it was shot down... Both the Ukrainian government and rebels have denied shooting it down in the region close to the Russian border." Over 100 bodies have been recovered from the wreckage so far.
Its the third plane shot down in the last few days after two Ukrainian militairy planes were shot down, believed to have been by Pro-Russian separatists.
Not much you can really say except thoughts have to go out to the families of those on board. Horrible horrible news.

It did leave from Schiphol.
For a moment I was seriously scared that my friend was in that plane. I knew she was going to Malaysia around this time and she would leave from Schiphol, that was a rather frightening thought. So, I went to check her house and I saw her bike standing outside, so I knew she hadn't left yet.

Apparently 154 of the passengers were Dutch, and I just read on Facebook that one of them is from my town and was pretty young, wonder if I knew her.
What a relief that your friend is okay!
The Ukrains (?) shot a Russian rocket to shoot a plane down, but say Kiev is to blame. I don't think this was an accident, they simply shot the wrong plane down. They just said it too, can't be an accident. If you don't know the system, you can't operate the rocket. It's not a question of accidentally pushing a button, you need to be educated in order to operate it. Sorry for my badly phrased stuff, am typing this as the news is on.

@thisbirdhasflown, at the bottom of parlance's link immediately above this post there is a tweet from Obama confirming that one American was on board. And if anyone hasnt seen the update in that article the number of AIDS researchers on board the plane is thought to be much less than the 108 originally said to be on the plane with it currently being reporting that seven of them have so far been named.

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce expects the summer market to soon ramp up.
The Hammers have completed a £7 million swoop for Anderlecht defender Cheikhou Kouyate.
Allardyce told whufc.com: "There will be a lot of activity between now and the start with new signings and like other clubs, we would want to have all if not nearly all our transfer business completed for the season to start, but as we all know, it doesn't happen like that and there will still be additions being made to squads until the close of the transfer window at the end of August, so it is a case of working hard with everything we have got and then blending in with what we can add."

FALL RIVER, Mass. After being rejected by voters in Milford, Connecticut-based Foxwoods confirmed Tuesday it's trying to snatch up the only license for southeastern Massachusetts with a $750 million proposal in Fall River.
At a press conference Tuesday, Mayor William Flanagan said he wants to decide on a site for the casino in 30 days, and put the project to a city-wide referendum in March or April.
Featured Casinos Coverage
"This is an opportunity for the city of Fall River," Flanagan said to a packed room at City Hall. "And it's an opportunity that we're going to make sure that we fully pursue."
Flanagan said the proposed casino would create 3,000 to 5,000 jobs, including 2,000 construction jobs — all badly needed in a city that used to be the leading textile producer in the country.
"In working with Foxwoods, they have already assured me that Fall River citizens will have first preference and priority in filling those jobs," Flanagan said.
Fall River is only about 60 miles from Foxwoods' original casino in Connecticut, and just 25 miles from the Twin River Casino in Rhode Island. But Foxwoods CEO Scott Butera said competition isn't a bad thing, and insisted the company won't be competing against itself.
"Competition is OK if you're competitive," Butera said. "In Las Vegas there are plenty of casinos within two miles of each other and they all do pretty well."
There has been little competition for this region's license thus far because the state's gambling law gives preference to an Indian tribe. The Mashpee Wampanoag has signed a compact with Gov. Deval Patrick for its $500 million Taunton casino proposal but has been bogged down by federal regulations as it tries to get land into a federal trust.
Mayor Flanagan said the tribe faces "insurmountable hurdles."
"The Mashpee Wampanoag actually need a decision of the United States Supreme Court or basically an act of Congress to get their land into trust," he said. "They've been at this for well over six years and they've been creating some pretty large debt."
KG Urban Enterprises has also submitted an application in the region, but has been unable to find investors for its New Bedford proposal.
Residents who attended the meeting had mixed reviews. Some called it the city's best chance to improve the local economy, but Mary Leet said the city doesn't need a casino or the baggage she said would come with it.
"It brings people with bad morals and more crime to the city" Leet said. "They're not going to get the benefits they hope to get from this, and they're going to get stuck with things they didn't want."
Either way, action will be coming soon. The state gaming commission could rule on the project as early November, and if it's approved, Foxwoods could start construction next year.

I am lucky enough to regularly commute to work by biking 15 miles along a beautiful bike path next to lake Michigan in Chicago. Now that the weather is nice, however, the amount of traffic (bike, rollerblade, pedestrian) gets heavy, and at times is out of control on sections of the path. I am always amazed by the lack of courtesy and judgement shown by many of the folks who use this great resource. By the beaches, volleyball players congregate on the path to stand around and talk (even though the beach has plenty of room); rollerbladers, pedestrians and bikers tend to ride 2-4 people next to each other (partially or completely blocking the lanes); tourists gape at the beautiful skyline views and snap pictures from the middle of the path (rather than step onto the grass next to it); and through all of this, serious bikers with fast road or racing bikes go speeding through, passing and yelling and acting like the path is meant for them and them only.
I wish that there were more police on bikes who cruised around, kicking loiterers off of the path, asking people to ride single file when crowded, giving out safety brochures and, yes, making sure that folks slow down on crowded sections of the bike path.
On my way home yesterday, the path was blocked by an ambulance on a particularly busy section (north beach, by the volleyball courts). Lying face-down on the ground was a guy with a banged-up road bike and a woman in rollerblades whose eyes were closed. She was not moving at all, and the paramedics were kneeling over her. I only hope both people are OK, but it didn't look good. Earlier that day, a group of tourists blocked the path and wouldn't move even after repeated loud requests (that were polite -- at first) by myself and three other bikers attempting to pass. Eventually one of the bikers fell over after not getting her foot out of her clips in time, knocking over another biker. Instead of apologizing, the tourists laughed. I also barely avoided crashing into an unsupervised kid who decided to race his friend across the grass and directly across the bike path at the bottom of a small hill with a curve at the bottom. He apologized, but obviously these people just have never been told that there are rules to using the bike path, just as there are rules to the road.
And this was just one day.
Anyway, I just want to say that the way I see it, this IS a road of sorts, not a sidewalk nor a speedway. Yes, rollerbladers take up more space and pedestrians are slow, but it's important that serious bikers also take responsibility for sharing the path by doing things such as NOT biking fast on crowded sections even though you may be in training or trying to get to work or whatever. . .
I hate to think that people are incapable of taking responsibility for their own behavior, but maybe there need to be stricter (and better enforced) laws for using bike paths. Just a thought.
Happy (and safe) trails!

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Drew Brees passed for five touchdowns and 332 yards, and the New Orleans Saints pulled away for a 35-17 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Saints tight end Jimmy Graham played after missing practice most of the week with a left foot injury and scored on 13- and 15-yard passes over the middle, powering through tackles at the goal line both times.
Rookie Saints receiver Kenny Stills had touchdowns of 69 and 42 yards and Lance Moore snagged a 15-yard scoring pass in his return from a hand injury that sidelined him three games.
Bills quarterback Thad Lewis was sacked four times, intercepted once, lost two fumbles and appeared shaken up at times, but stayed in the game, finishing with 234 yards passing and one touchdown. Buffalo's Fred Jackson scored on a 1-yard run.

Porsha Stewart Refuses To Talk About Alleged Kenya Moore Brawl
April 02, 2014 10:31 AM by Stephanie Gustafson
At this point, it's pretty obvious that Porsha Stewart and Kenya Moore got into a major fight during the filming of this season's Real Housewives Of Atlanta reunion. Insider evidence is rampant, and, more tellingly, TMZ has acquired Kenya's 911 call. Porsha, on the other hand, refuses to admit to beating up Kenya. What gives?
Kenya Moore's Facebook fans are convinced that Porsha Stewart went on the attack during the recent Real Housewives Of Atlanta reunion. Kenya spoke at length about the incident in a 911 call acquired by TMZ, explaining, "[Porsha] hit me in my head and was fighting me…hitting me."
Despite continued rumors surrounding her fight with Kenya, Porsha is still reluctant to speak out on the alleged altercation. During a recent appearance on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, Porsha refused to address the gossip. "I have no comment for that. You just have to watch the reunion and see what happens."
Although she wasn't eager to discuss her fight with Kenya, Porsha did refute claims suggesting that the cast members on The Real Housewives Of Atlanta are completely incapable of getting along. "I don't know if we proved that [black women can't get along], because our cast is associated. Some of us were girlfriends before, some of us weren't." Porsha also admitted that, given the feisty nature of the women on the show, conflict was always bound to arise.
As far as her fight with Kenya goes, the Twitter community views Porsha's silence as answer enough. Now, we just have to wait for the reunion to see just how bad the altercation really was.
Are you looking forward to the Real Housewives Of Atlanta reunion? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments section below!

Sale sign end of line for landmark farm
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Near Eureka Road along Corridor G, a huge banner hangs on a weathered white frame carport:
Available for the FIRST TIME!
Preoccupied drivers zipping by on the busy highway give little thought to this pending demise of history.
Unnoticed in the rush of everyday life, a tiny outbuilding beside the carport hints at a pastoral past consumed by the ravenous jaws of progress.
"That was the boiler room," she said. "That's where they heated water to wash the milk bottles. The milk house was right over there.
"No one knows it was a dairy," she said. "There are a lot of memories here."
On a breezy spring day, 87-year-old Virginia Pruett Pauley roams the grounds of her homeplace at 1230 Oakhurst Drive, steeling herself for the inevitable day when she finally walks away.
In December, challenged by the upkeep on a home built 115 years ago, she put the place on the market, all 1.6 acres of it -- the last vestiges of the 40-acre Pruett Dairy Farm.
"It needs to be developed," Pauley said. "Somebody needs to buy it and build condos. Maybe they would give me one as part of the deal."
That's the practical side of things. The sentiment, the heartache of letting go, tugs at her every day.
Her father, Denver Pruett, grew up here with his siblings, Garnett, Ben, Bern, Bessie, Ada and Kate.
"My father was born here, and all five of us girls, me and my sisters -- Marie, Elizabeth, Irma and Thelma. It was just wonderful, the five of us playing here together."
Denver Pruett and brother Garnett started the Pruett Brothers Dairy in 1922. "We would go to town in the milk truck," Pauley said. "We sat on the milk bottle crates. I've still got daddy's milk carrier."
The brothers sold their dairy route to Valley Bell in 1958.
The milk house vanished. The picturesque barn, home to 25 cows and a horse named Barney, bit the dust 32 years ago.
"I wish even a piece of the old barn was still there," Pauley said wistfully.
Chunks of concrete from the barn's walkway protrude from the brush, marking the location like a crumbled tombstone at a neglected gravesite.
As plans revved up for Corridor G in 1980, a salvage company bought the barn from the state highways department for $1 and carefully dismantled it. The salvager predicted he'd fetch $5,000 for the wormy chestnut lumber, highly coveted after the chestnut blight of the early 20th century killed virtually every chestnut tree in the country.
A painting of the old barn hangs in Pauley's kitchen, framed by wood from the barn.
"Our property went all the way up to Smith Road," Pauley said. "We called it Ridge Road then."
Up the hill from the barn was a garden where her mother raised strawberries and rhubarb. "In strawberry season, mother would make strawberry ice cream. We cranked the ice cream maker by hand."
That little house adjacent to her home was the smokehouse, Pauley said. "They cured their hams in there."
The pigpen was up the hollow. "Every fall, they would slaughter a hog and hang it on the pear tree. That old stiff thing, if you went out for a walk, you'd better not run into it."
A chicken coop sat in the yard by the driveway, near what is now just the stump of a big red maple tree. "I would help gather eggs," Pauley said. "Garnett called them hen fruit. He'd say, 'You going after some hen fruit?'
"The chicks would follow their mother when it was going to rain," she said. "Then they would cover up under her wing. I remember thinking, 'Now that is security!'"
The home itself was built on a hill behind two majestic beech trees. The new road took one beech tree. "The other tree fell seven years ago," Pauley said, nodding at the massive stump. "That tree shaded the whole back yard. The family gathered there."
A holly tree, one of the oldest and tallest in the state, disappeared in 1979.
The road was first paved in 1923. Officially, it was W.Va. 214, or Oakhurst Drive. "We just called it Davis Creek Road."
In a 1980 Charleston Gazette interview, 81-year-old Denver Pruett remembered when the dirt road accommodated only an occasional wagon. "Sometimes you could go all day and not even hear a wagon," he said. "It was so quiet, you could hear someone walking up the road."
Loading a horse and wagon with buttermilk and vegetables from the farm, Denver traveled a mud road to the train depot to take goods to customers in town.
Only five or six houses dotted the hillside between his house and Charleston, he said.
Interviewed by the Gazette in 1993, Garnett recalled when woods covered what is now the Southridge shopping center. He remembered hearing screeching hoot owls and screaming wildcats when he walked home at night.
"Farmland? It was worse than that," he said. "It was wild land."
In 1935, Garnett and Maude Pruett built a home adjacent to the homeplace. Eventually, encroachment of Corridor G forced them to move the house back against the hill.
Visible from the corridor, the renovated white house is occupied by Virginia Pauley's niece and her husband.
Progress kept nipping at the Pruett land. The highway department devoured most of it. The county took eight acres and built Kenna School in the old orchard. Another 20 acres went to a housing developer.
But memories can't be sold off with a business deal. Everywhere she looks, inside and out, Pauley sees reminders of her girlhood and a lost way of life.
"That's daddy's milk carrier over there with the flowers in it," she said. "Here's daddy's rocker. There's mother's sewing machine.
"She made so many biscuits in this kitchen. She didn't cut them. She just rolled them. Daddy had biscuits three times a day."
After her marriage to Austin Pauley, Virginia moved to Nitro, then to nearby Terry Road. In 1984, her father died. He was 84. The following year, she moved back into her childhood home.
"I always wanted to come back here," she said. "And I've enjoyed every minute of it."
Listed by Valerie George Ellis of Real Estate Central, the property was recently reduced to $294,800.

I'd noticed the picture topic had been removed. I thought it had been unpinned at first but I browsed through General Discussion, and couldn't find it. Could a member of staff explain whats happened there? Oh, and as far as I'm aware funny names are allowed - but distasteful and vulgar ones are not.

You can have funny things in your name, but don't be stupid. If you want to change your name but aren't sure it'll be alright then post in here and see.
As for the Post a picture of yourself topic I tried to find it and it came up with an error, which confuses me. I'm trying to find it.
Well I've been trying to solve the missing topic problem and atm I can't, however I am looking into it.
Edit: found the problem, now trying to solve it
Sep 20 2007, 06:54 PM
OK the "Post a picture of yourself" topic was deleted by Bain. He could do this because he was a gold member and can delete his own topics. Because of this his ability to delete his own topics has been removed. That is topics not posts, gold members can still delete their own posts.
We're looking at getting a backup of the Post a picture of yourself topic online soon.

Actually we have a hidden trash system, but for some reason because Bain deleted his own topic, it bypassed the system and went straight into cyberspace, despite the boards being set to send ALL deleted threads to the trash.

President Obama says he will not 'rule anything out' while former secretary of state Hillary Clinton calls ISIS takeover a 'dreadful, deteriorating situation'; France calls on world powers to act.
News Agencies
Published: 06.12.14, 20:04 / Israel News
News Agencies
"I don't rule anything out," Obama said when asked whether the United States is considering drone strikes or any other action to stop the insurgency.
Related stories:
He said there will be short-term immediate actions that need to be done militarily in Iraq, and that his national security team is looking at all options. He said the United States is prepared to take military action when its national security interests are threatened.
Obama's former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, said what's happening in Iraq is "a dreadful, deteriorating situation" and she's surprised by the effectiveness of the al-Qaida-inspired group that has captured major cities there.
The former US secretary of state and potential 2016 presidential contender spoke Thursday during an event at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.
French resolve
France said on Thursday world powers needed to act urgently to deal with the situation in Iraq as the advance by Islamist militants put the country's unity in doubt and posed a wider risk for the region.
"The advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and al Sham seriously puts into danger the unity and sovereignty of Iraq and ... it poses a serious threat to the stability of the region," Fabius said in a statement of ISIS fighters. "The international community must imperatively deal with the situation."
Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Considering how people jumped all over it when Rosberg outqualified Hamilton by less than a tenth, are we within our rights to have a good old crow now that Hamilton is on top by half a second?
Maybe, but it would be silly in any case, just as it was silly when his detractors were flapping their lips. You can't read anything from a couple of races or a couple of qualis. But I guess people can't stop themselves.
Well done to Vettel. I think he's going to be hard to stop this year, considering the lead he's already building.

Lunt 60mm Ha Solar Scope
Posted 16 May 2008 - 10:33 AM
I have had first Solarlight yesterday here in Germany with the first LS60Tha in Germany.
Yesterday morning we have seen 2 great prominences and very little surface details with 1 smaller active zone.
The LS 60 showed a great contrast also on the disc with NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Hotspot and a great uniform homogene image , just as I wanted :-)
Today I have send the scope to a great german imager, Mario Weigand ( his webside link is http://www.skytrip.de/ ) to shoot next week some first images to show by such pictures the potential of the LS 60 Tha.
On monday I will also ship him the LS60Cak scope to make some first images.
So if the weather permits, I shall be able to post here during next week the very first solar images made with a Lunt Solarscope .

Will you have one on display at ATT on May 31st?
Posted 16 May 2008 - 11:56 PM
Thank you.
Posted 17 May 2008 - 06:37 AM
a, yes we have them at ATT
b, today I wanted to go with the scopes to a solarparty in germany, but due bad weather it was moved to next week saturday
c, the LS60Ha can be ordered with all sizes of blocking filters. Cheapest version is with B600 . Keith for you the B12 is required to get DSLR with no vigneting to focuse. Webcam will work nice with B600. Chances of your BF size is always possible, get in touch with your Dealer.
Now we wait a bit sun for nice nice images THROUGH the scopes :-)
Posted 17 May 2008 - 06:38 AM
Markus: Does the 60Ha have a 6mm or 12mm blocking filter? I have a 60 on preorder, but didn't know about the 12mm b.f. until a couple of weeks ago. For use with a DSLR which blocking filter would you suggest? Would it be any different for a webcam?
Thank you.
I called Rikki and changed my order to include the 12mm BF. It's just $150 more.
Lunt says that the 6mm BF is fine for visual-only, no binoviewing, but that imagers and binoviewers might prefer the larger blocking filter.
While I'm currently a visual-only monoviewer when it comes to Solar viewing, I decided I wanted to have imaging and boinoviewing capbility from the outset.
In for a penny, in for a pound.....
Posted 17 May 2008 - 06:42 AM
...today I wanted to go with the scopes to a solarparty in germany, but due bad weather it was moved to next week saturday...
As excited as we all are about these scopes, I assumed that they would be very efficient "cloud magnets"!

How about the 75mm filter?
The best band-pass for viewing proms and surface detail it slightly different sometimes right?
Posted 31 May 2008 - 10:45 PM
The PST was officially around <1.0A so if the Lunt 60mm is better than that, then I am happy. I can't wait to get mine.
Posted 01 June 2008 - 12:27 PM
I believe it has a dial to adjust, which is similar to the ring on the PST. Generally, I believe the SP 60mm Lunt, which is <0.7A is perfect for Prominences with good surface detail. I believe the DS 60mm Lunt will be around <0.5A which will be dimmer for Prominences, but better for surface detail.
The PST was officially around <1.0A so if the Lunt 60mm is better than that, then I am happy. I can't wait to get mine.
Would a hypothetical 60mm band pass of <1.0A show better prominence detail than the same aperture with <0.7A ?

Can you post Riki's anouncement from the Lunt solar group? I am not allowed to.

From the TOS:
Please do not copy e-mails, articles, pictures or posts from publications or from other online sites unless you are the owner of the material or have received explicit permission from the owner to do so. This permission must be included in your post. Using another person's work without permission is, at the very least, poor netiquette, and is not permitted on this forum. A summary or short quote is allowed without permission, but you must include the identity of the original source. The best way to direct fellow CN members to material you have found is to simply include a link, when possible, in your post.

It would be easier for him to get permission than me. I only talk to Riki once a month or so. I would link to the source but unless you are a member of the Yahoo group the link is useless.
Thank you,

Neither is he. The rule is that you can't post a message from another person without their express permission. That includes Vendors.
So, a partner in Lunt Solar Systems (Markus) can't repost a message from their sales manager (Rikki)??
That might be a technical violation of the TOS, but Jeez, Louise! Pretty nitpicky if you ask me. (I know, you didn't ask me! )
As others have posted, the best place to get updated Lunt information is at the Lunt Yahoo group:
Too bad you have to navigate away from CN to get freely available information. But, so be it.

I would think he'd have Rikki's permission if he wanted it.

I just wrote a long, thoughtful blog about the ways technology forces us to project human attributes onto developing fetuses but I think perhaps this video (after the jump) sums it up best. And while I know it's a fake, this is pretty much what I imagined what was going on when I was pregnant. They forgot to include collateral damage to mom's ribs.

Pentagon slaps a ban on Google Street View
Military insecurity
GOOGLE'S GONE and blown it with the Pentagon after posting photo and video footage of US military base Fort Sam, in Houston, Texas. The images reportedly showed the entry gates, barriers and buildings in great detail, including the position of the base's guards.
The captured footage of the base was for Google's new Street View service, a feature of Google maps, allowing users to see streets from ground-level, with 360-degree panoramas in 30 U.S. cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco.
It allows users to virtually drive down a street. But since its launch, the Street View service appears to have caused nothing but trouble, with the Search Engine giant being accused on a daily basis by the "innocent" bystanders caught in its lens, of violating their privacy. People have been caught having a pee by the side of the road, sunbathing topless, being arrested, and one unfortunate man was seen by his (soon to be ex) wife emerging from a strip club.
In the case of the Fort Sam military base, Air Force Gen. Gene Renuart, chief of the US Northern Command, wrote in a statement, that the photographs –taken by a camera mounted on a vehicle sent by Google – showed "where all the guards are, how the barriers go up and down, and how to get in and out of buildings".
The Pentagon, getting its knickers in a twist, hurriedly sent out letters to all Defence Department bases and installations in the US, reminding them that people driving into military bases and videoing everything, may, just possibly, not be a very good idea for security reasons.
Google, which removed the sensitive photos at the firm behest of the Pentagon's powers that be, reckoned that it was usually against company policy "to request access to military installation for the purpose of capturing imagery in Street View" and that they had made a mistake in this case.
But that being said, Google had in fact requested permission from the base to enter and photograph it, and that permission had been granted. General Renuart's statement did not make it clear why Google had been given access to film the base in the first place. µ

In my ASP MVC 3 site I added a folder Resources with 2 Resx files Strings.resx and Strings.fr-FR.resx, Acces modifier public, and provided translation.
I added in web.config:
<globalization culture="Auto" uiCulture="Auto"/>
<add key="culture" value="fr-FR" />
<add key="uiculture" value="fr-FR" />
I also forced french language in CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture in Application_AuthenticateRequest and Application_BeginRequest in global.asax.
The problem is when displaying site in localhost, the language is translated in french.
When deploying the site on the server (after building the msi in a WebSetup project) The strings are not translated in french language although both culture and ui culture are "fr-FR" (displayed them in input hidden).
What can be the problem? Maybe something is missing in the config server? I can't find any issue about that in the internet.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
If the deponent did not bring requested documents, what should I do/say at the depo?
If the deponent lies that s/he doesn't have the documents , can I file motion to force production after the depo?
Isn't a "subpoena duces tecum" applies to nonparty? I will be deposing the other party who is the plaintiff and whom I requested to produce documents.
Should I make it an exhibit on any documents (deponent's or mine) that I will question deponent with?
I will question plaintiff on some allegations in his Complaint, can I just read the allegations on the complaint without making it an exhibit?
What is the appropriate way to address myself in a question that involve me? Do I refer myself as first person or third person? For example, "When did you meet me?" or "When did you meet defendant?" or "When did you meet so-and-so?
I don't understand what you mean by 'to avoid artificiality in your questions'. Can you give an example of aritificiality.
I mean don't try to speak in legalese. Just use plain English and speak the way you would in an normal conversation. For someone not practiced in depositions, using legal terminology will likely trip you up. So for example, when you are referring to yourself, say "me" instead of "defendant".

We're absolutely thrilled that longtime couple Jenni Farley and Roger Mathews are expecting their first child, though had "Snooki & JWOWW" fans been taking Roger's recent complaints of forced celibacy seriously, y'all would have never guessed it would happen. Sounds like the guy's been exaggerating a wee bit about the lackluster state of his sex life, as his fiancé has argued in the past, and in this sneak peek of the next episode, Roger tries to squeeze some more pity out of the ol' "Jersey Shore" crew.
"If you asked me to draw a sketch of Jenni's vagina right now, I couldn't do it," Roger claims over dinner at Snooki and Jionni's summer rental, drawing chuckles from Sammi and Ronnie. He says that he's tried to be more romantic per his girlfriend's request, but even a French dinner crafted from scratch earned him nothing more than a fist bump. And, to add insult to injury, Roger's venting suddenly puts Snooki and Jionni in the mood for some lovin', and the couple disappears upstairs to their jealous pal's dismay. No sympathy here, Rog!
Check out the clip, and tune in for two back-to-back episodes of "Snooki & JWOWW" on Tuesday, January 7 at 10/9c!

Duke Energy's Fleet Modernization Retires Two Coal Plants
Duke Energy's Fleet Modernization Retires Two Coal Plants
Duke Energy's Buck and Riverbend stations, coal-fired power plants in the Charlotte area, will retire two years earlier than slated. Both stations had been scheduled for retirement in April 2015 in prior to the upcoming federal environmental regulations; however, the company did elect to retire Buck Units 5 and 6 and Riverbend Units 4 through 7 on April 2013. The efficiency of the merged company's joint dispatch processes has also contributed to the coal plants early revocations.
Regulators Try to Fix Scam-Ridden Biofuel Program
The EPA have called for a mandate of 16.55 billion gallons for renewable fuels and now, the involved parties only has 45 days to comment before a final mandate is set. A 2007 federal law requires that refiners blend renewable fuels with gasoline, with the amount being determined by their share of the fuel market. Instead of producing the fuels themselves, refiners can buy credits, or RIN's, from other producers. Under the new proposal, purchasers of the renewable-fuel credits would have them verified through third- party audits. The rule would also specify the conditions under which invalid RIN's must be replaced, and by which party would be responsible to pay.
Survey Shows that Norway May Boost Hydro Output by 2020
A survey published by the Oslo-based Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Cicero, showed that Norway may increase annual production by 12 percent through 2020 as the country strives to meet EU targets for higher renewable energy output. According to an agreement with the EU, Norway must step up the share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption to 67.5 percent by 2020, an increase of 6.4 percentage points from 2010.
NorthWestern Energy to Invest in Electric Transmission System to Boost Capacity and Reliability
NorthWestern Energy has announced a plan to upgrade its electric transmission infrastructure in Stillwater and Carbon counties in south central Montana. The initial phase of the project will include substation upgrades and the construction of a new 100kV transmission line from NorthWestern's existing Columbus-Rapelje substation to a new substation near Dean, in southern Stillwater County. The transmission line will be 45 to 55 miles in length, depending on the final route. Later phases of this project will include the rebuilding of existing transmission lines in the area.

It's Wednesday, and MangaCast helpfully lists their recommendations for this week's new manga. David Welsh lists his picks as well.

Johanna gives her take on the Viz/Tokyopop question posed at Manga_Talk.

Tokyopop editor Tim Beedle is posting lots of Blank art.
The Canandaigua Messenger-Post has a primer on graphic novels that includes the usual interviews with teens who read manga and librarians who say it draws in reluctant readers. Here's a local comic-book dealer who doesn't seem to get the concept:
The word "novel" in "graphic novel" is "misleading," he asserted, because most are actually bound collections of four to eight 32-page comic serials and few feature original work created specifically for the "novel" format. It's "like calling six episodes of a TV show a movie," Churchill said. "Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. It's just more or less one of my semantic idiosyncrasies."
While technically he's right about licensed manga, I don't think they usually read that way. And he's dead wrong when it comes to other graphic novels. Meanwhile, the Herald-Mail includes O-Parts Hunter on its list of suggested gift books for teens.
This week's Publisher's Weekly Comics Week has an article on DC's new Minx line and a review of O-Parts Hunter.

Casting Updates For Syfy's Being Human, FX's Sons Of Anarchy And Hallmark's Cedar Cove
By Leslie Kasperowicz 4 years ago comments
Casting news today has two actors booking major recurring roles and a third taking up the co-lead opposite Andie McDowell in Hallmark channels first scripted series, Cedar Cove. Blood Ties Dylan Neal will take up the Hallmark gig, while a former Dexter actor moves to Sons of Anarchy and The Finders Amy Aquino will join Being Human.
Dylan Neal, who has guested all over the place including 90210, Rizzoli & Isles and most recently Ringer, has been cast in the male lead on Hallmarks Cedar Cove, says Deadline. He will play a small-town newspaper editor who becomes the love interest for central character Judge Olivia Lockhart, being played by Andie MacDowell. Based on a series of books by Debbie Macomber, Cedar Cove is Hallmarks debut foray into scripted television. It will debut with a 2-hour backdoor pilot late in 2012 and the series will start early next year. It looks like a pretty big role for Neal if the show lasts.
Billy Brown, who played Mike Anderson on Dexter is set to join the cast of Sons of Anarchy, for the upcoming season in a big recurring role. Hell play Damon Popes right hand man August Marks. The upcoming season of Anarchy is shaping up to be really interesting, considering the addition of Jimmy Smits (another Dexter connection) not long ago. Brown also recently did a stint on Lights Out and guested on Law & Order: SVU.
Recent guest star for The Finder and Harrys Law Amy Aquino has picked up a recurring role for the third season of Being Human. She was cast as a soup kitchen manager who joins the hunt for the missing Sally. Aquino has also appeared on Brothers & Sisters and ER.

Thailand Open Source Festival
During the 7th Thailand Open Source Software Festival, to be held on August 2-3, 2007 at Bangkok Convention Center, 5th floor Central Plaza Lardpraow
Chatuchak, Alex Kempkens will speak about Joomla! and the reason why a CMS is essential for Web 2.0. The conference which is supported by an exhibition presents several Open Source solutions and projects. The focus of the talks will be how Open Source solutions can be used within the company/office environment. More information can be found in our forum.
LinuxWorld San Francisco
The Linux World Expo in San Francisco has a very good reputation for the Joomla! project and Open Source in general. Meet Joomla! core team members Louis Landry, Rob Schley and Johan Janssens from August 6-9, 2007 at the Moscone Center San Francisco, CA. We are very proud that Joomla! project manager Johan Janssens will speak at the conference. Johan will introduce the audience to Joomla! with his session about: "Understanding the Joomla Framework - Tips and Tricks From the Frontline". The session will cover several aspects of the new Joomla! Framework and will give an overview of the different packages as well as explaining its usage with examples.
Does this sound exciting? A must see session we would say! Important for everybody wanting to meet the Joomla! team at the event. If you sign up before the event (until the 5th of August) registration is FREE (0,- US-$). Check out the conference details at the linuxworldexpo.com site. Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to meet Louis, Rob and some other special guests as well as other community members. Check out the forum and show hands if you will be around to talk about the latest news about the Joomla! project, your websites and everything else you like to talk about.
Finally we will demonstrate how you can easily create completely new web applications based on the Framework in just a few lines of code.
Over past years Joomla! has won some prestigious awards at the SF LinuxWorld. With the release of Joomla! 1.5 we believe this takes the project to a whole new level. The new framework is fast becoming recognised as 'the next big thing' in open source technologies. 1.5 is attracting some amazing new talent — with third-party developers and architects wanting to achieve more than ever before with the Joomla! 1.0 series. "These are most definitely THE most exciting times of the Joomla! project," Johan said. "We've put in thousands of hours of development time creating this 'next generation framework' and we feel its potential is only limited by people's imaginations. Joomla! is now much more than a CMS."

Joomla! 1.0.13 [ Sunglow ] is now available for download.
Joomla! 1.0.13 features:
- Several low-risk security fixes
- Improved password storage system
- Easier control over Register Globals Emulation
- An Itemid backwards compatibility setting
- Improved administrative session security
- Improved HTTP/HTTPS switchover support
Because Joomla! 1.0.13 is a security release, it is important that you upgrade but we strongly recommend that you take extra precautions when performing this upgrade. This release features several improvements to the password storage system designed to help protect the future security of your Joomla! powered website. These changes will cause compatibility issues with some 3rd Party Extensions, especially bridges. If your Joomla! site utilizes bridges to other applications or extensions that have their own login system such as Community Builder, Virtuemart, or others you should not upgrade your site until those extensions have also been updated.
The changes to the password storage system should be transparent to your Joomla! site's users. As users login for the first time after your site has been upgraded, their passwords will automatically be converted from the old password storage system to the new system. Because of this automatic conversion of passwords, it is important that you backup your entire database before performing this upgrade. Once the process of converting passwords has started, it cannot be reversed.
Release Information
1.0.13 is available as a full package,which contains all Joomla! files or as patch packages which contain only the files that have changed since previous Joomla! 1.0.x version.
- 1.0.13 Full Package
- 1.0.13 Patch Packages
- 1.0.13 Version Information
- 1.0.13 Changelog

Each pump contains two chambers. The first chamber, called the atrium, is a staging area for the main pumping chamber called the ventricle. These chambers are separated by a valve that prevents the back-flow of blood during ventricular contraction. Additional valves are found in the vessels that carry the blood out of the ventricles. These valves also prevent the back-flow of blood.
The strength and speed of the heart's beat can be influenced by many factors including: exercise, emotions and disease conditions.
There are several forms of cardiomyopathy in cats. For the purpose of this article, we will concentrate on the most common form, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
What is feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHCM)?
Let's break these terms down so we can better understand their meaning.
Hypertrophic means a general increase in the bulk of a part or an organ and cardiomyopathy means a disease of the heart muscle (cardio-heart, myo-muscle and pathy-disease). Therefore, a cat with HCM has a diseased heart as a result of the muscles of the ventricle bulking-up.
The heart is a muscle and like all muscles, increased use leads to an increased size. Generally speaking, increasing the size and strength of the heart is a positive thing. An important part of most athletes' training is to increase the strength of his or her heart. However, if the growth of the heart continues unchecked, the musculature of the ventricular wall will limit the capacity of the ventricular chamber to hold and pump blood and thereby reducing the heart's output. Reduced cardiac output can lead to heart failure with associated complications such as an abnormal accumulation of fluids in the lungs or in the body.
What causes feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
In many cases, the cause of FHCM is idiopathic or unknown. We do know that there is a very strong genetic link to this disease and that it follows familial lines.
If a cat experiences systemic hypertension (high blood pressure), his heart must pump against greater resistance with greater effort. This results in an increase in the bulk of the heart muscle. Sometimes the opening from the ventricle is too narrow. This creates a similar situation; an increased workload produces a "bulking-up" of the heart muscle.
There are also hormonal conditions that lead to FHCM such as feline hyperthyroidism. In feline hyperthyroidism, excess thyroid hormone (T4) is excreted from a diseased thyroid gland. Increased T4 accelerates the heart rate which increases the work load on the heart which, in turn, increases the size of the ventricular wall.
Who gets feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Cats as young as six months or as old as 16 years have been observed with this disease. Most often FHCM does not become apparent until middle age. Males are affected more commonly than females.
The domestic short-hair (common house cat) is the breed most commonly diagnosed with this disease. In addition, some pure-bred cats such as Persian, oriental breeds and American shorthairs are predisposed to FHCM. A specific mutation has been isolated in the genes of the Maine Coon cat. This mutation can be identified with a special test.
What are the symptoms of feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
The symptoms of FHCM are variable and depend on the severity of the disease. Cats are masters at hiding symptoms of disease. Often times the symptoms may not become obvious until the disease has progressed. In a cat with FHCM, observant owners may notice a slight increase in their cat's respiratory rate and/or a decrease in appetite.
Cats with FHCM may present with a heart murmur. Murmurs are caused by turbulence in blood flowing through a malfunctioning valve in the heart. In FHCM, a heart murmur may be caused by an abnormal motion of the mitral valve (the mitral valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle). Because of the abnormal growth of the ventricular wall in FHCM, the mitral valve becomes distorted and partially obstructs the outflow of blood from the left ventricle during contraction, causing a murmur. It is important to remember that not all heart murmurs in cats are caused by by this condition.
Some cats may present with sudden rear-leg paralysis. Thrombi (or clots) may form in the left atrium as a result of FHCM. If these clots break loose, they will travel with the blood down the aorta until they become lodged. This usually occurs in the terminal aorta which supplies blood to the rear legs. The result is rear leg paralysis with severe pain.
Some cats with severe FHCM will go on to develop symptoms associated with heart failure. Sudden death may be a "symptom" of this disease. Some cats may not have any symptoms.
How is feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy diagnosed?
A color echocardiogram of the heart offers the best means of diagnosing this disease. This diagnostic imaging device allows the veterinarian to "see" and measure the ventricular wall thickness, the size of the atrium, the condition of the heart valves (including the mitral valve) and possibly, the presence of a clot in the left atrium.
Radiographs of the cat's heart and lungs are helpful in determining the overall size of the heart and condition of the lungs.
In addition, the veterinarian may perform tests to check the cat for feline hyperthyroidism and systemic hypertension.
How is feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy treated?
There is currently no evidence that any medication alters the course of idiopathic FHCM. However, if FHCM develops into heart failure with associated pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs) and pleural effusion (free fluid in the chest), treatment would be indicated to relieve the symptoms of these conditions.
If FHCM is caused by hyperthyroidism, then medications to treat that condition often will return the cat's heart rate to normal and the ventricular wall should return to its normal size.
What is the prognosis for cats with feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
At this point, it is very difficult for veterinarians to predict how fast FHCM may progress in any particular cat. The prognosis is much better in cats who have treatable hyperthyroidism.
FHCM is the most common form of heart disease in cats. Symptoms are often subtle or absent. Often there is no known cause. There appears to be a strong familial/genetic component to this disease. There is a genetic test available for Maine Coon cats. Accurate diagnosis and monitoring requires color echocardiography. Radiographs and additional tests may be needed. Treatment is generally symptomatic. Prognosis is difficult to predict.
