Briton Jessica Ennis finished the women's Pentathlon competition in exactly the emphatic style in which she started, winning another gold medal with a wide margin.
The 24-year-old went for it from the start of th 1000m and took the lead to go after the World record, but not surprisingly that proved to be a job too tough even for her. Ennis finished the race in 2:12.55, an indoor personal best for a total of 4937 points bettering Swede Carolina Klüft's seven-year-old competition record of 4933 from Birmingham 2003 by a mere four points.
With a small margin too Ennis grabbed the British record from Kelly Sotherton who had scored the previous best of 4927 points, 10 points less than Ennis today, in Birmingham at the European Indoors Championships in 2007.
Ennis set four indoor personal bests during the competition in long jump, 800m and Pentathlon total score and was really close in the other two events 60m hurdles (missing by 0.09) and high jump (missed by 4cm). It was a class act by the Briton and don't expect her to stop here, she has been that good in Berlin and Doha in the last two big meets.
Ennis moves to third place in the world alltime list behind Russian Irina Belova's 4991 world indoor record and Carolina Klüft's 4948 winning mark at the 2005 European Indoor Championships in Madrid. Additionally East German Anke Behmer has scored 4995 points in 1988 on oversized track.
Behind the clear winner the battle for the remaining two medals was absolutely fierce. As expected Ukrainian Olympic champion Nataliya Dobrynska and Russian Olympic bronze medalist Tatyana Chernova were clearly faster than Olympic silver medalist Hyleas Fountain in the 800m. But for a while in the new clash between the three Beijing medalists it seemed like the American could survive with a bronze medal, but in the final lap of the race Chernova just pulled too far off Fountain to grab the bronze. Dobrynska was surprisingly fresh in the final event easily winning the silver medal, her second in this competition in addition to a second place finish in 2004. Dobrynska ran an indoor personal best 2:14.85 in the 800m to crush her own national indoor record with 4851p adding a massive 73 points to the previous best 4778p from February 2010.
Chernova grabbed the bronze finishing in 2:13.19 for a total of 4762 points just edging Hyleas Fountain who equalled DeDee Nathan's American record 4753 which won her the World indoor title in 1999 in Maebashi, Japan. Fountain faded to a 2:21.02 result in the last event losing the medal during the last lap of the race. Antoinette Nana Djimou Ida of France just missed her recent 4633 personal best scoring 4618 points for the fifth place.
Polish Karolina Tyminska was the fastest of the field in the 800m winning in 2:11.16 for a total of 4575p and sixth place. Russian Marina Goncharova scored 4416p for seventh place and Aiga Grabuste of Latvia was eighth with 4013p.

Slash refused to quit smoking while his mother was dying of lung cancer - he only kicked the habit after falling ill with pneumonia.
The former Guns N' Roses guitarist, 44, has been a heavy smoker for most of his adult life and admits his addiction to cigarettes spiraled after his mum, Ola, was admitted to hospital last year (09).
He says, "I smoked through the whole thing. I'd be sitting with her at the hospital and go out to smoke. Her illness was so sudden, the suffering went on for seven months and I was there through it all. Every five minutes I needed a cigarette - I had such a habit."
And it wasn't until the rocker suffered his own health scare, that he decided to quit. He adds, "I became ill with a severe case of pneumonia. I couldn't smoke for two weeks, so I gave quitting a shot, but I am finding it hard." (LR/WNTSU/ZN)

Religious Freedom Has Limits
The Associated Press reported that Kelly Fischer has appealed his conviction of sexual conduct with a minor. One of the "Colorado City Eight" prosecuted for taking underage teens as plural wives, Fischer claims that his religious freedoms-which are protected under the 1st and the 14th Amendments-have been violated because Arizona law prohibits the practice of plural marriage. But the appeals court upheld the original decision and stipulated that people have "the right to believe and profess whatever religious doctrine they wish, but no absolute right" to live their beliefs. Invoking an 1878 precedent, the ruling judge stated, "Conduct remains subject to regulation for the benefit of society." The judge also noted that Arizona law constitutionally prohibits sexual activity with a minor-regardless of the minor's consent.
In other words, you have the right to believe anything you want and you have the right to talk about it freely, but you don't necessarily have the right to carry out what you believe. I, for one, am grateful that people who believe in human sacrifice don't have permission to perform sacrifices. And I sure don't think pedophiles should be able to cry "religious freedom" as an excuse for sexually abusing little girls-even if the little girls say they want to be abused.

Start to finish: 40 minutes
Servings: 8
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 -inch chunks
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1/2 pound loose Italian sausage meat
1 pound ground bison
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 ounces (half a bottle) stout or other dark beer
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cool water
15-ounce can corn kernels, drained
8 1/4 -ounce can creamed corn
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
Heat oven to broil. Lightly oil a standard loaf pan.
Place sweet potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add a hefty pinch of salt to water, then bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over high, combine olive oil, garlic and onion. Saute for 5 minutes, or until just tender. Add sausage, bison and pepper. Saute until meat is browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Carefully spoon or drain off any collected fat in skillet. Add beer and simmer until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. In a small glass, mix cornstarch with cool water. Add cornstarch mixture to meat and stir until thickened. Remove from heat. Season with salt.
Spread meat and onion mixture evenly in prepared loaf pan. In a small bowl, mix corn kernels and creamed corn, then spread in an even layer over meat. Set aside.
Once sweet potatoes have cooked, drain and return them to pot. Add milk, butter and brown sugar, then mash until smooth. Season with salt. Spoon potatoes evenly over corn. Place pan in oven, about 10 inches below broiler. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until bubbling at edges and starting to brown. Watch it carefully; some broilers run hotter than others.

The bains marie is designed to hold sauces, gravy and pre-cooked foods for up to two hours at serving temperature. A necessity in the cooking and catering industry it gradually heats food and keeps it at a desired fixed temperature.
Traditionally bains maries work when water creates a barrier between the food and a direct heat source, this method of cooking surrounds the food with gentle heat helping the food to cook evenly and slowly, whilst the insulating action of the water allows the food to not boil over.
Contemporary designs have moved on from the traditional liquid filled bains maries to the electric 'dry heat' bains maries (heated by element below both pots) and the 'wet heat' bains maries (using hot water, vapor, or steam, in the heating process). They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to accompany most catering needs and are suitable for many food service applications, providing a gentle heat they are perfect for delicate products and dishes.
Bains maries are the perfect utensil for any commercial kitchen, front of house and any other form of external catering environment. They have many benefits as they consume less energy, heat quickly, operate at adjustable temperature controls and require little cleaning. They come in compact durable stainless steel constructions ideal for holding any sauces and pre-cooked foods.
We stock a wide variety of bains maries to suit every catering establishment, ranging from wet to dry heats in round pots, gastronorm pots or stainless steel pots, so why not check out our selection.

Note: Do not confuse black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) with blue cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides), which contains chemicals that may damage the heart and raise blood pressure. Do not confuse black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) with Cimicifuga foetida, bugbane, fairy candles, or sheng ma; these are species from the same family (Ranunculaceae) with different effects.
Black cohosh is popular as an alternative to hormonal therapy in the treatment of menopausal (climacteric) symptoms such as hot flashes, mood disturbances, diaphoresis, palpitations, and vaginal dryness. Several studies have reported black cohosh to improve menopausal symptoms for up to six months, although the current evidence is mixed.
The mechanism of action of black cohosh remains unclear and the effects on estrogen receptors or hormonal levels (if any) are not definitively known. Recent publications suggest that there may be no direct effects on estrogen receptors, although this is an area of active controversy. Safety and efficacy beyond six months have not been proven, although recent reports suggest safety of short-term use, including in women experiencing menopausal symptoms for whom estrogen replacement therapy is contraindicated. Nonetheless, caution is advisable until better-quality safety data are available. Use of black cohosh in high-risk populations (such as in women with a history of breast cancer) should be under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional.
EvidenceDISCLAIMER: These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Arthritis pain (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis):
There is not enough human research to make a clear recommendation regarding the use of black cohosh for painful joints in rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis.
Breast cancer:
There is not enough human research to make a clear recommendation regarding the use of black cohosh for breast cancer.
There is not enough scientific evidence to make a clear recommendation regarding the use of black cohosh for infertility.
Menopausal symptoms:
Black cohosh is a popular alternative to prescription hormonal therapy for the treatment of menopausal symptoms such as migraine headaches, sleep disturbances, hot flashes, mood problems, perspiration, heart palpitations, and vaginal dryness. Initial human research suggests that black cohosh may improve some of these symptoms for up to six months. However, the current evidence is mixed and more studies are needed to make a strong recommendation.
Migraine (menstrual):
Approximately 30% of women afflicted with migraines have menstrual-related migraines. Black cohosh may be a potential treatment for these migraines, although additional study of black cohosh alone is needed to make a strong recommendation.
TraditionWARNING: DISCLAIMER: The below uses are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider. There may be other proposed uses that are not listed below.
Abortifacient (induces abortion), AIDS, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antispasmodic, anxiety, aphrodisiac (increases sexual desire), appetite stimulant, asthma, back pain, bone diseases, breast pain/inflammation (mastitis), breast cysts, bronchitis, cancer, cervical dysplasia (abnormal pap smear), chemotherapy induced premature menopause, child birth (labor induction), chorea, cough remedy, decreased blood platelets, depression, diarrhea, dizziness, dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse), edema (swelling), emmenagogue (promotes menstruation), endometriosis, estrogenic agent, fever, gall bladder disorders, gingivitis, headache, heart disease/palpitations, high blood pressure, inflammation, insect repellent, itchiness, joint pain, kidney inflammation, leukorrhea (abnormal vaginal discharge), liver disease, malaria, measles, menstrual period problems, miscarriage, muscle pain, muscle spasms, nerve pain, ovarian cysts, pain, pancreatitis (inflamed pancreas), perspiration, pertussis (whooping cough), polycystic breast disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, perimenopausal symptoms, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), rash, rheumatism, ringing in the ears, sleep disorders, snakebites, sore throat, tamoxifen-related hot flashes, urinary disorders, urogenital atrophy (tissues of the vagina and bladder become thinner often resulting in pain and infection), uterine diseases and bleeding, wrinkle prevention, yellow fever.
Adults (over 18 years old)
There is no proven effective dose for black cohosh. The British Herbal Compendium recommends 40-200 milligrams of dried rhizome daily in divided doses, although traditional doses have been as high as 1-2 grams three times daily. As a tincture/liquid, the British Herbal Compendium recommends 0.4 to 2 milliliters of a (1:10) 60% ethanol tincture daily. For menopausal symptoms, studies have used 20 milligram or 40 milligram Remifemin® tablets (containing 1 or 2 milligrams of 27-deoxyactein) twice daily or 40 drops of a liquid extract for up to 12 weeks. Some clinical studies have used 20 milligrams taken twice daily. Isopropanolic black cohosh has been taken at a dose of 40 milligrams per day for 12 weeks.
Children (under 18 years old)
There is not enough scientific information to recommend black cohosh in children.
SafetyDISCLAIMER: Many complementary techniques are practiced by healthcare professionals with formal training, in accordance with the standards of national organizations. However, this is not universally the case, and adverse effects are possible. Due to limited research, in some cases only limited safety information is available.
Avoid if allergic to black cohosh or other members of the Ranunculaceae (buttercup or crowfoot) family. In nature, black cohosh contains small amounts of salicylic acid (which is found in aspirin), but it is not clear how much (if any) is present in commercially available products. Black cohosh should be used cautiously in people allergic to aspirin or to other salicylates.
Side Effects and Warnings
Black cohosh is generally well tolerated in recommended doses and has been studied for up to six months. High doses of black cohosh may cause frontal headache, dizziness, perspiration, or visual disturbances. Several side effects have been noted in studies including constipation, intestinal discomfort, loss of bone mass (leading to osteoporosis), irregular or slow heartbeat, low blood pressure, muscle damage, nausea, and vomiting. Dysphoria and "heaviness in the legs" may occur.
It is not clear if black cohosh is safe in individuals with hormone-sensitive conditions such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, or endometriosis. There is controversy as to whether black cohosh is similar to estrogen in its mechanism, although recent studies suggest that it may not be. The influence of black cohosh on anti-estrogen drugs (like tamoxifen) or hormone replacement therapy is not clear. It is not known if black cohosh possesses the beneficial effects that estrogen is believed to have on bone mass or the potential harmful effects such as increased risk of stroke or hormone-sensitive cancers.
A few gynecologic organ-related adverse events have been reported including vaginal bleeding and miscarriage; however, the effects of black cohosh in these events are unclear.
Hepatitis (liver damage) and liver failure has been reported with the use of black cohosh containing products. Liver transplantation has been required in some patients. These reports are concerning, although the cases have been criticized by some as not being adequately substantiated. Nonetheless, patients with liver disease should consult a licensed healthcare professional before using black cohosh.
Black cohosh should also be used cautiously in patients with a history of blood clots, seizure disorder, or high blood pressure.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established. Black cohosh may relax the muscular wall of the uterus and some nurse-midwives in the United States use black cohosh to stimulate labor. Black cohosh may also have hormonal effects and caution is advised during breastfeeding. There is one report of severe multi-organ damage in a child delivered with the aid of both black cohosh and blue cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides) who was not breathing at the time of birth. The child survived with permanent brain damage. However, blue cohosh is known to have effects on the heart and blood vessels and may have been responsible for these effects.
Tinctures may be ill-advised during pregnancy due to potentially high alcohol content.
Interactions with Drugs
The potential estrogen-like effects of black cohosh remain debated and the active chemical contents of black cohosh have not been clearly identified. Although recent studies suggest no significant effects of black cohosh on estrogen receptors in the body, caution is warranted in people taking both black cohosh and estrogens due to unknown effects. The influence of black cohosh in combination with tamoxifen is not clear in studies and it is not known if tamoxifen counteracts the effects of black cohosh. Drugs like raloxifene may also interact.
Black cohosh may lower blood pressure and therefore should be used cautiously with other hypotensive agents such as beta-blockers like metoprolol (Lopressor®, Toprol®) or propranolol (Inderal®) and calcium-channel blockers like diltiazem (Cardizem®, Tiazac®) or verapamil (Isoptin®, Calan®). Black cohosh may contain small amounts of salicylic acid and may increase the anti-platelet effects of other agents such as aspirin.
Black cohosh may alter the way the liver breaks down or metabolizes certain drugs. In theory, due to possible alcohol content in some tinctures of black cohosh, combination with disulfiram (Antabuse®) or metronidazole (Flagyl®) may cause nausea and vomiting. Other studies show that black cohosh may cause liver toxicity and should be avoided with agents that may also cause liver toxicity.
Although not well studied in humans, black cohosh may potentially interact with antidepressants, and antihistamines. It may also interact with agents taken for the treatment of cancer and osteoporosis. Other potential interactions include pain relievers, anesthetics, anti-inflammatories, cholesterol-lowering drugs, and anti-seizure drugs.
Interactions with Herbs and Dietary Supplements
Black cohosh should be used cautiously in people taking herbs with possible hormonal effects. This is a theoretical concern and it is not clear if the amounts of salicylates present in commercial or processed black cohosh products have significant effects in humans.
Seizures were reported in a woman taking a combination of black cohosh, chaste tree (berries and seeds), and evening primrose oil for four months who also consumed alcohol. The cause of her seizures is not clear.
Both black cohosh and blue cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides) are used by nurse-midwives in the United States to assist birth. There is one report of severe multi-organ damage in a child delivered with the aid of both black cohosh and blue cohosh who was not breathing at the time of birth. The child survived with permanent brain damage. However, blue cohosh is known to have effects on the heart and blood vessels and may have been responsible for these effects. Pennyroyal and black cohosh should not be used together, as there is a possibility of increased toxicity and death.
Black cohosh may lower blood pressure and therefore interact with other herbs or supplements that also affect blood pressure.
In theory, black cohosh may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with herbs and supplements that are believed to increase the risk of bleeding. Multiple cases of bleeding have been reported with the use of Ginkgo biloba, garlic, and saw palmetto. Numerous other agents may theoretically increase the risk of bleeding, although this has not been proven in most cases.
Black cohosh may alter the way the liver breaks down or metabolizes certain herbs and supplements. Other studies show that black cohosh may cause liver toxicity and should be avoided with other herbs that may also cause liver toxicity.
Although not well studied in humans, black cohosh may potentially interact with herbs and supplements with antidepressant, antihistamine, or antioxidant effects. It may also interact with herbs or supplements taken for the treatment of cancer and osteoporosis. Interactions with pain relievers, anesthetics, anti-inflammatories, cholesterol-lowering therapies, and St. John's wort are also possible.

I would appreciate some feedback about the reports of "granules" forming in patients treated with Sculptra. On this site, there have been posts of people developing granules years after having been treated. Why do these granules form and how likely do they occur?
Feedback on Sculptra Lumps or Granules
Doctor Answers 1
Granulomas from Sculptra
It is a known complication of Sculptra. It was more common in the past when the material was not diluted enough and patients did not do any massage. Sculptra stimulates growth of your own collagen. If too much is deposited in one area, you have a lot of collagen concentrated in one area, which can feel like a lump, granuloma, nodule or granule. The exact nature of a granuloma in medical terms is different from the general public's use of the term granuloma. For the present discussion we will use all the above terms interchangeably/.
To avoid these granulomas you should look for an advanced Sculptra injector and do deep tissue massage five times a day for five minutes each time for five days. Remember 5,5,5.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

The Last Days of Disco [1998] [Criterion] (DVD)
The Last Days of Disco is a clever, comic return to the nighttime party scene in early Eighties Manhattan from director Whit Stillman (Metropolitan). At the center of the film's roundelay of revelers are the icy Charlotte (Kate Beckinsale) and the demure Alice (Chloe Sevigny), by day toiling as publishing house assistants and by night looking for romance and entertainment at a premier, Studio 54-like club. The Last Days of Disco is an affectionate yet unsentimental look at the end of an era, brimming with Stillman's trademark dry humor.

text: 1-I listened to the original studio version of the song. 2-I listened to the original, studio version of the song. Don't these sentences mean different things? I think in 1 the song has different studio versions and the speaker has listened to the first one of them, while in 2, the studio version is the only original version. Is this correct? Or maybe the two possible different meanings are distinguished only by the way the sentences are accentuated in spoken English, but are indistinguishable in written English?

Have I missed something? Has Ninjor been announced? Normally 'support' threads are only moved when a character is confirmed for release….?
We've had multiple heads with figures but Ninjor would be great with multiple FEET! A clawed demon pair and a booted ninja pair! Never happen but would be pretty hilarious!
I'm sure they'll use the finned forearms as the fins could easily be part of his gloves or demon hands if you prefer. We will never get a cloth hood.

Nope. People are just getting excited about possible reveals at SDCC and (I assume) hoping for Ninjor news soon.
Harken the coming of Dragstor!!
I really hope for an additional unmasked head, with some demonic/evil facial characteristic to justify the clawed feet

I'm guessing the origin of this thread pre-dates the Spec forum, which is how it got missed... I'll move it over to avoid any additional confusion
Anyone else looking forward to getting him?
Cool checklist:
I am with you bro. I cant take it anymore! A NINJA HE-Man figure is like the greatest thing & ive been waiting and waiting.........
I am! I've always liked him as a kid. But I think it would be smart for Mattel to release him next year. He is one of the few remaining vintage figures, and he can help lure subscribers for 2015.
"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." Matthew 7:12
I could see him potentially being this year yet since he's an easy figure to make with all the parts reuse. Should make for a good figure though.
Right or wrong, buying a sub tells Mattel you want more MOTUC figures. Not buying does tells them you don't. Don't let MOTUC end early because you might not like their marketing strategy! Plus polls show you won't regret subbing!
One of the true fan minority - happy MOTU fans!

January 2015 with no day of sale...yes, do it!!!
Most Wanted:
Snake Mountain and Eternia Playsets!
I don't know who that is.
I've been waiting for him for a long time. He was the only vintage figure I didn't have. I hope he comes out this year but I bet he'll be early 2015.
Hopefully they'll go the extra mile to make him look cool, ala Fisto, Jitsu, etc
i'm been talking about the lack of blast attak and laser figures for so long that i feel like everytime i come here i'm writting about the same thing
No arkangel you are so right, earlier this year toyguru was with the toy hunter on some network channel, and at sdcc there will be a laser light and laser power original to show the contrast of the new MOTUC versions as well as a blast attack ninjor and a beast. Thats all i know and its unconfirmed

He looks fantastic! Glad they went with the monster forearms and boots. ESPECIALLY the red eyes, too! Only thing that worries me is that it looks like the katana might have a giant handle to fit in his open hand.....I really hope not. We'll see. Otherwise I freakin' LOVE 'em!

I'd like to introduce myself to the forum. I recently "discovered" (on my own) that my ex is a narcissist. reading the profiles, criteria, and other peoples experiences has been so fascinating, comforting, and validating. I have been suffering for months since the breakup, constantly searching for answers and reasons. I loved him SO much and thought he felt the same, I really thought he was the one, that this was it. he went from treating me like i was the center of his universe (and he was my dream man) to cutting me off completely and acting as if I never mattered, like he hardly knew me. i have been depressed for months now, feeling worthless and alone.
From the reading I have done online, it seems he is a "compensatory" narcissisit. He is not as "monesterous" or full-blown as some of the profiles i have read. I have not experienced/witnessed narcissistic rage, except for him devaluing and discarding me when he broke us up. I can definitely relate to the accounts of hypomania, idealations, constant need for affirmation, and narcissistic supply that i have read about.
During the peak of our relationship he would say he "needed me like he needed oxygen" that i was his everything, we were soulmates, a spiritual force brought us together, that he would go anywhere for me. we started planning our future together after graduation. at first I was so happy because he appeared to be the man i've always wanted. we had the same dreams, goals, aspirations. little did i know that he was mirroring me, turning himself into what i wanted. i started questioning things later when he became more and more needy.. he was constantly doubting my love for him, asking me again how much i loved him. at the same time talking about our future life together, our children, our wedding. then, about 4 1/2 months in, i was supposed to meet his parents (he had already met my parents and my friends), he grew increasingly paranoid. then, out of the blue, just like that, he ended our relationship (just days before i was supposed to fly to meet his parents), and cut me off completely. he did not call, inquire about how i was doing, explain his sudden change of heart. when we were back at school he agreed to meet with me but showed no emotions. he was cold, dead inside. he admitted he "handled things badly" and that he was "dissapointed in himself" but showed absolutely no emotion, no remorse, no empathy for what happened. it was as if he knew he did something wrong and the it hurt me, but he had no way at all of empathizing. no explanation of how overnight i went from being his soul mate to a stranger.
A part of me thinks he knows, on some level, that he has a PD of some sort. when i was searching for explanation, one thing he said to me (that i had to practically force out of him) was that he had to break up with me then because he had gone through something (didnt say what) like this before, had gotten therapy, and he knew he (or maybe he said "it") would "only get worse." he said that i deserved much better.
Apart from our relationship, he fits the general descriptions of an N (specifically compensatory N) perfectly. I could go on and on about all the different things about him that fit into the criteria and profile perfectly. wild ideations, dreams of grandiur, removed socially, very insecure but acts very arrogant, uses people for his own benefit.. it goes on and on and on.
for months now i have felt so lost, and confused, and alone. my friends and family have been here for me, but i never felt they truly understood how hard, and unusual, the break up was on me. to make matters worse, we are both in graduate school together and I have to see my ex every day (often unexpectedly). this has been a a daily battle for me. when he sees me, it's as if i am anyone else or i dont even exist. i now understand that he is an N, i was his supply and when he felt that ran out, he abandoned me before i could abandon him. he's is in his "zombie" like state and is not even capable of feeling or caring for me. I dont think he wants to hurt me, and i think he's ashamed of himself, but at the same time he hasnt, and isnt going to, change it. he has no feeling in him.
Has anyone else here had to see their ex N on a daily/weekly basis? How do you cope?

Okay ladies, can someone please help me out. What causes excessive cake shrinkage like when u take your cakes out of the oven, then u let them sit in the pan for a few minutes. I know cakes will shink some once you take them out of the oven to cool but i noticed that the Sylva Wynestock cake recipe, u know the yellow/vanilla cake everyone likes from the yellow cake bake off/trial, shrinks soooo much. there is about a 1/2 gap around the sides of the pan where the cake shrunk. Besides that, the cake is great and one of the best tasting but i can't figure out what's going on.
whenever I make cakes they always shrink away from the edges a little and this is usually how I know they are cooked through. I have never had problems with exessive shrinking, though and I can't see anything online about cake shrinking. Just keep altering your recipe a bit each time - I'm sure your family members won't mind having to test a few batches of cakes! =D hope this helps
You might want to try baking your cakes at 325 degrees and start testing for to see if they are done at the recommended baking time. You should not bake until the sides pull away from the pan as this is over baking them, like meat they continue to bake after coming out of the oven. The lower temp help eliminate the hump that develops and eliminates the baking strips use. I hope this has helped you, try it and see how it works.
Another culprit to "excessive shrinkage" could be not measuring/weighing your flour precisely......especially in scratch baking.
I had this problem way back when I started baking....since I've converted all of my recipes to weights from measurements I've solved that problem.
I always pull my cakes out of the oven about 5 minutes before i think they'll be ready, immediately "dump" them out of the pan on a cooling rack, and allow them to continue cooking on the rack. Ive never had an issue with shrinkage or a raw cake...

text: Jeremy McWilliams Talks Moto2 Ride Andrea Wilson | August 22, 2014 Photography By Andrea Wilson Next weekend at Silverstone former Grand Prix racer Jeremy McWilliams will return to the MotoGP Championship in a one-off wild card ride in Moto2 aboard the Bennett's Brough Superior Carbon 2 racer. Originally British Supersport racer Luke Mossey was slated for the one-off ride, but for reasons unspecified those plans fell through and the team needed a rider. So they called on the 50-year old Ulsterman and after testing the machine at Mallory Park this past Wednesday, McWilliams agreed to step in at a moments notice – roughly a week before bikes hit the track at Silverstone on August 29."They had a rider lined up but it had fallen through and they needed somebody to help out and see if we could get this across the line, firstly going testing on the bike and get some feedback to see where we would go from there," McWilliams said. "I rode the bike and we made some progress and then quite quickly from there we had to make a decision whether or not we could compete on this bike at the British Grand Prix. And I said I just wanted one more test on it and if we could do that I think that we could probably race it. So really it was just one of those whirlwind things that happened and you've got to make decision quickly."The Brough Superior Moto2 racer was a combined effort of Los Angeles Brits – Paul Taylor and designer John Keogh and the goal was to look outside the box of traditional chassis designs."It's a carbon composite monococh chassis with quite a different innovative front end which is not conventional," McWilliams said. "Moto2 at the minute is pretty much of a one size fits all and the class needs new ideas and innovation and that's what Brough Superior and Taylormade are trying to bring to Moto2. I like that idea and I like challenges. I like people who are thinking outside the box and that's what they are doing. Certainly at the moment [they] haven't proved whether that is or can be competitive, but you never know if you don't try."The British designers found the perfect match with an old British brand that's set for revival – Brough Superior. Add to that a good British sponsor –Bennett's Insurance – and veteran racer McWilliams, a perfect way to fly the flag at the home Grand Prix."They've come over and struck up some partnership with Brough Superior which is an old British mark that's relaunching quite soon so it fitted with the brand and maybe it fitted with an older British rider riding it as well," McWilliams said. "But that wasn't their intention. There intention was to run with a young up and coming British rider and that just didn't work out."And I can see the importance of them having to race this British named bike with British support and I'm here to help out and hopefully get them to the next stage so that in the future they can race in Moto2 with a young up and coming rider. But at the moment all those riders seem to be tied into contracts or unable to commit to this one off wild card ride."McWilliams has ridden and raced a wide variety of motorcycles over his career and has been apart of developing them as well. So what were his first impressions of the innovative machine?"Well the first impressions weren't great because they had sort of gone in a different direction than what they had been working in during their testing phase," McWilliams said. "It wasn't until we started making steps back towards that setup that I started feeling confident. We virtually just ran out of time on the day to make another couple of steps where I wanted to go, to change a little bit more to suit me. But it was a last minute test and we had very limited time on track. I thought the bike was pretty good for what it was. I didn't go with any preconceived ideas of what to expect I just rode the bike and spoke to the team and they reacted to what I wanted and we got to a point where I was pretty happy with the bike."Even at 50, McWilliams has still shown to be competitive. But McWilliams is being realistic about racing in Moto2 with a new bike."It's of course, you don't know how competitive that bike will be and certainly I've got to consider that me jumping into another championship which is far more competitive than just stepping into an XR1200 race at Indy," McWilliams said. "This is the real deal. This is going to be really difficult to be competitive, but there are no big expectations. We want to test and race at the same time and get feedback so that the team can make a decision on what to change and where to go forward in the future."I'm trying not to have any expectations, but secretly you dream about where you'd like to be on that grid and in that race. But I like to take sort of one step at a time and set goals. Once you've got somewhere you can then be realistic about where to set the next goal. I can't set my expectations very, very high because we just don't have much time on the bike and much time for me to adapt to the bike. The one thing that we de have on our side is changeable weather, conditions and temperatures in the UK and that might play into our hands. So I suppose anything could happen."McWilliams said in addition to helping the project and the team move forward, the opportunity was something that he felt had to be explored."I had the organizer call me and ask me would I be prepared to do it, you know, that means a lot," McWilliams said. "When you've got Dorna and IRTA calling you and asking you would this be something that you think you'd be interested in, you have to take a little bit of notice. They're very sure what age I am and opportunities like this don't pop up for 50-year old riders to race in what is deemed to be a young class full of really hot headed riders. It's a cutthroat class. If you watch Moto2 you can understand it's really competitive all the way down to the very last group. I had to consider that before saying yes, but I think an opportunity like this is something that needs to at least be explored."And if we completely bomb it won't be from the lack of trying. We'll be putting in one hundred percent on the weekend. If we the get bike within an area where I can really ride it to the limit, than we should get something out of this. And again that goes back to the question before, we're not sure what that might be, we're not sure where we'll place. Maybe that's why I'm doing it because it's an unknown and there's not many people that would take this on. And there's certainly not many more times in your life or my lifetime that we'll see someone my age jumping into the Moto2 category and giving it a go." McWilliams fresh off his XR1200 win at Indy doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon, putting ageist restrictions to the test. Is he sure he's 50?"It's funny isn't because all the way through riders careers… you've seen this and you heard it all the way through… riders are always lying about their age," McWilliams said. "I've never lied about my age and actually now that I've got to this age and we're still competitive, I'm shouting from the rooftops my true age. It actually makes me feel better that I can still be competitive at this age."Honestly speaking we got more publicity and press out of the race at Indy than we ever would've imagined and part of that comes down to the age thing and not racing in the championship day in, day out. There's a lot to be said for it and maybe that's what motivates to keep riding and trying to at least keep myself bike fit because I sure as hell haven't done anything else except ride motorbikes." The one thing the Ulsterman regretted a little bit was maybe bit more time on the bicycle, but he's wasting no time on that either hitting the training regime in preparation for next week. But even still, he thanks his genetics and says that he feels it's all about bike fitness."I'm pretty lucky I've got a fair bit of natural fitness and it's really all down to bike fitness more than anything. So I'm going to be relying on Clinica Mobile to look after me so to speak over the three days at Silverstone… be lots of sore and tired muscles and massages, and maybe some pain killers," he said with a laugh.

Redknapp: Spurs have cash to splash
Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp insists that he was ready to match Liverpool and Chelsea's January spending and promised that Spurs will have money to spend again in the summer.
• Modric appendix blow for Tottenham
• Aguero: I will leave when I want
• Redknapp ponders Woodgate gamble
• Spurs close dealings with Neville snub
• Premier League team news
Redknapp, usually one of the most active managers in the transfer window, watched on as Liverpool and Chelsea spent £129 million between them last month.
And while the former Portsmouth manager admits he did launch a £35 million deadline day swoop for Villarreal striker Giuseppe Rossi, there was to be no repeat of Spurs' last-gasp signing of Rafael van der Vaart in August - a transfer that has proved one of the most astute in recent memory.
Tottenham were also reported to have tabled a massive £38.5 million bid for Sergio Aguero and Redknapp has warned the club's Premier League rivals that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and owner Joe Lewis will continue to heavily back him in the transfer market and are willing to smash the club's record £16.5 million outlay on Luka Modric.
"Daniel always said that if we found the right player then we would have gone for him but it was difficult," Redknapp said. "He tried something with Rossi.
"I think he offered £35 million in the end. It's hard to get top players unless you pay top money. You couldn't get Rossi because Villarreal don't want to sell you him.
"The chairman would have bought someone for £30 million though, for sure. He wanted to bring someone in. There was no doubt that he wanted to do it. He wanted to get somebody in and if Daniel and Joe Lewis can find the right people they will have a go again.''
Redknapp also failed in bids to land Everton defender Phil Neville and Blackpool's Charlie Adam. In contrast to their mega-bucks approaches for Rossi and Aguero, Spurs are thought to have initially offered just £250,000 for Toffees captain Neville before upping their bid to £1.5 million.
David Moyes slammed Tottenham's original bid, describing it as "insulting'' and Redknapp says he understands the Everton manager's disappointment.
"It was a pretty low offer for a good player. I couldn't argue with David on it,'' Redknapp said. "He would have been a great signing for us. He is a leader, a captain, a character and he can play in three or four positions.''

Shown in the Wasp Micro UAV. The assassinationbot is believed to be an armed version of the Wasp Micro UAV
Wired's Danger Room reports that the Air Force Research Laboratory has completed developing a Micro-Air Vehicle (MAV) with innovative seeker/tracking sensor algorithms that can engage maneuvering high-value targets.
Special Forces already make extensive use of the Wasp drone made by AeroVironment. This is the smallest drone in service, weighing less than a pound. It has an endurance of around 45 minutes, and line-of-sight control extends to 3 miles. It might seem limited compared to larger craft, but the Wasp excels at close-in reconnaissance. Its quiet electric motor means it can get near to targets without their ever being aware of its presence.
A tiny warhead, weighing a fraction of a pound, could mean extremely little collateral damage, compared to the 20-pound warhead on a Hellfire.

Tampa's Polins denied 'World's Greatest Salesperson' title but may he inspire all who sell
Wake up and good morning. Three finalists took to the stage in Cannes Monday seeking to become the "World's Greatest Salesperson" as chosen, on the spot, by leading executives of the advertising industry. Eric Polins of Tampa, managing director of the advertising/strategic marketing firm HCP Associates, was one of the three -- all of whom had won the right to compete by judges who had picked their 2-minute YouTube pitches on "how to sell a red brick" as the best of some 230 entries worldwide. Here's Polins' original YouTube pitch, and here's a recent column detailing Polins' effort and the initial competition.
Alas, our local favorite, Mr. Polins, was denied. Canadian Todd Herman, an international performance coaching and training expert from Edmonton, won the coveted World's Greatest Salesperson title. Using real-time voting, a live audience selected the winner during the OgilvyOne "Can you sell, or else?" seminar at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival. The third contender was Lee Abbas, a former Panasonic marketing executive and most recently an English teacher in Hokkaido, Japan. Here's contest sponsor OgilvyOne's news release on the winner.
The original competition drew contestants from 12 countries, all asked to "sell" a red brick in their YouTube pitches. On Monday, the three finalists had to present, live on stage, their pitch for selling a more sophisticated product: the Motorola Droid phone.
Kudos to all three, but especially to our hometown participant Polins for such a great effort and for taking the chance and clearly having some fun along the way -- including a free trip to Cannes! Congratulations and may Polins be an inspiration to all folks in sales.
-- Robert Trigaux, Times Business Columnist

Goldman Sachs has maintained its "buy" recommendation and made no changes to its earnings forecasts for
The contracts include the Hunter Valley major works project in NSW to provide engineering management services in the Hunter Valley rail network, and mine and rail studies for the Carmichael coal project in Queensland's Galilee Basin.
"We expect the Assess phase revenues to be generated from these projects to have already been included in Calibre's FY13 [fiscal 2013] company guidance. We note that our FY13E earnings estimates are largely consistent with company guidance. While there is no change to our forecasts, we highlight that we are encouraged by the nature of these contract wins in that they are with new clients in new markets and therefore consistent with Calibre's diversification strategy."
Goldman is forecasting earnings per share growth of 28 per cent for the year to June 2013 and 7 per cent for 2014, to 20¢ and 22¢, respectively. It has left its 12-month price target unchanged at $1.45.

Big Boy hit the big time.
Well, it's about time.
Winner of the J.G. Taylor Spink Award in balloting conducted by his beloved Baseball Writers' Association of America, Bob Elliott is headed to Cooperstown and Baseball's Hall of Fame.
Let the cheering begin, the tears flow.
That Elliott reached the promised land in voting conducted in Dallas, site of this year's annual winter meetings, is fitting given his penchant for cowboy boots, country music — and we mean old school country.
At 62, Elliott is one of the last of a dying breed, one of the original seamheads, a group of baseball writers and columnists that flourished in the 80s and 90s. They lived for one and only one purpose in life — baseball — and covered it relentlessly 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
It was their life and they were lifers and they loved every single minute.
Baseball is Bob's life, it is what he does, is what he loves and his world revolves around it. His work ethic is legendary, his devotion to duty unwavering.
Most important, he's fun to work with and has a number of quirky traits that are so amusing.
I first joined the Sun's baseball team back in 1992 and was taken under his wing, even though I am a few years his senior.
Back then, before the internet and cell phones and the horror of social media, Elliott and his collection of seamhead friends, writers from the other major league locales, would be constantly on the phone with one another, swapping stories, gathering information, checking out leads.
One day — this was back in the days when the Sun actually thought baseball was a big deal and would send two writers on the road to cover key series in cities such as Boston and New York — I was talking to a U.S.-based writer and Bob called me over. He wasn't happy.
"We don't talk to him," he informed me, the tone more an order than a suggestion. He told me we talk to this other guy on a different paper and that chap I was talking to was "a goof." He wasn't a seamhead buddy.
I told Bob I'm older than he was and I could talk to whomever I liked.
He turned on his heels without a word and didn't talk to me for two days.
He was in a mini snit over my rebellious ways.
Snits, by the way, are something that Bob can swing in and out of at a drop of the hat. I constantly tease him over the fact that he has so many snits going at one time that he can't remember who he isn't talking to anymore. It's comical and not mean spirited, just a quirk of Bob's nature.
If Al Gore can claim that he invented the internet, I can say that Elliott invented the cell phone. He has one planted in his ear at all times.
Chances are it would be a scout or a seamhead, the GM of another team on the other end.
Bob is a talker and loves working the phones. He isn't into texting and loves to shoot the breeze, any day, any time, any hour.
When I'm on the road with the Jays, and this even applies when I'm on the west coast, when I get back to my hotel room there's the message light flashing and a message from Bob. They are all the same: "Give me a call, don't worry about the time."
So I call and even though it may be 2 or 3 or 4 a.m., back in Toronto, Bob answers on the first ring and starts off "Hey bud, what's going on?"
There is no such thing as a short call so for the next 90 minutes or so Bob and I have this rambling conversation on God knows what. Bob is the king of the silent pause and it is disconcerting at first, takes some getting used to. When you're on the phone with him there can be times where there are five-to-six seconds of dead silence then he'll ask: "What were we talking about?" The next 15 minutes or so we try and remember, can't come to a conclusion and lurch on to a different topic.
When he's on the road I tease him that he shouldn't be allowed to go out without a name tag and a long leash so that you can reel him back in when lost. While driving and with the cell phone in his ear — this was back a few years folks — he'd constantly lose his way and you would have to try and get him back on the right track while he's in south Florida and you're in Toronto.
One year during the first week of spring training I got a call at home. He was at the Yankees' complex in Tampa and couldn't remember where he parked his car. He told me he thought he was in the right lot but couldn't remember the make or colour of his rental car. I told him to hit the panic key.
"Thanks bud," he said, the sound of a car honking in the background.
What separates Bob from other writers, other than his devotion to duty and his thousands of contacts — there isn't a scout in the game he doesn't know — is his loyalty.
When J.P. Ricciardi took over as the Jays GM and fired the bulk of the scouts, Bob was devastated, not because he lost contacts but because his friends had lost their jobs. He truly felt their pain.
Bob is loyal, generous, sentimental and has a great sense of humour.
I'm proud to say that he's my friend and tickled pink that he's bound for Cooperstown.
No one deserves it more.

Lana Del Rey: I owe it to Brit
LUSCIOUS Lana Del Rey secretly based her career path on Britney Spears.
Lana Del Rey secretly based her career path on Britney Spears
Lana told Rick Astley on Magic 105.4: "I'm not really interested in a ton of female musicians but there is something
about Britney that compelled me – the way she sings and just the way she looks."
Just don't expect celebratory somersaults when Lana's album Born To Die hits No1 on Sunday.
She explained: "The thing that makes me happy now isn't really singing.
"Music was once the be-all and end-all, but when you lose everything you have over and over again, it's not so important."
Sounds like somebody needs a cuddle.

Dealing with sugar in gas tank
Finally, if you drive a vehicle without a secure fuel filler like our '95 Caravan - get a locking gas cap.
caesarslegion Posts: 109you bet,this sounds like my town.kids have nothing better to do than trying to destroy others nice cars.it should be ok.i would get that lock on it today.also keep a light on near your car because vandals like to work in the dark.
There are far worse things to put in a gas tank but I'm not going to reveal them for obvious reasons. Let's just hope vandals keep thinking sugar is deadly.
Probably the worst thing that can naturally happen to a car's fuel system is rust or water, both of which might require dropping the gas tank and possibly replacing the injectors.
MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
opera_house_wk Posts: 326I think I saw in another post that the reaction took a couple weeks.
csandste Posts: 1,866Click and Clack deal with sugar (not that serious)...
Modern Maturity (auto myths)
Straight dope (could clog)
2Car Pros (injectors probably plugged)...
If you put enough of anything in a gas tank it will foul it up. I'm sure Cheerios are as deadly as sugar. (and you can add milk, too!)
MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
Thanks for the informative posts.
o_h_w, I'll keep the test tube tests going and will follow-up in a couple of weeks. My last concern is that water condensation in the tank will dissolve some sugar. My strategy is to add 1/2 oz isopropyl alcohol with each fill up to dilute and minimize the sugar load downstream. I also plan to inspect a spark plug at the same interval to look for fouling. I'm also a little concerned that fuel injector contamination from sugar water/alcohol could be hard to clean since water can't be used - at least not in the usual way.
zr2rando Posts: 391If it dissolves in water then it will go through the filter (filter should stop water too but some still dissolves into the gas, especially when you use the water remover/alcohol/dry gas etc) and harden/plate out like laquer/glaze in the injectors/intake valves and is almost impossible to clean except by physical(abrasive) action. Keep it solid and let the filter catch it...just change the filter is alot easier...
Years past I have always seen that sugar in the tank really had to have tank removed and rinsed/dried, fuel lines air blown in reverse to really clean it right. Best thing is to find the people responsible and watch them do the work.
good luck
pblevine Posts: 858Why take a chance? I'd even drop the gas tank.
And remember, "Equal" is better than sugar!
In coffee, that is. Never in your tank.
mrdetailer Posts: 1,118that dirt can really clog up a tank, having deposited several handfulls in one myself. Dad definitely was NOT happy.
Seriously, I would drop and clean the tank immediately. The cost of that repair isn't bad compared to the dangers it can cause.
isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 19,551Someone telling me that a handful of moth balls would neutralize the gasoline.
Never tried it.
It is one week since I placed 10 cc of gas in a test tube and added 2 sugar crystals and the sugar is 100% in its original crystal form. My van is also operating normally with only a change of the fuel filter which contained no sugar.
mullins87 Posts: 959The thing I would be most concerned with is some of the crystals getting past the filter. I don't know what engine heat would do to them, but I could imagine them acting much like grains of sand as they move through the injectors into the combustion chamber.

Shearling Hats & Sheepskin Hats
For centuries, sheep farmers and country folk have known that no natural or man-made fiber possesses the virtues of 100% sheepskin. The unique combination of leather skin on one side and wool fur on the other lends it remarkable properties. Cool in Summer and Warm in the Winter Sheepskin wool is soft and resilient. Its fibers breathe, acting like a natural thermostat for your body. These hollow fibers can absorb up to 30% of their own weight in moisture without feeling wet, keeping you perfectly dry regardless of the weather.| The Wonders of Wool
Ounce for ounce, sheepskin is stronger than steel. Your sheepskin items will last for years with minimal care: most often, only brushing, shaking out, or vacuuming is required. Impossible to copy synthetically, sheepskin and its wool fibers offer an astounding list of natural qualities.
* wool does not shed, because it's attached to the skin. It isn't woven and then brushed up, like wool pile fabric that is loose enough to be pulled out or worn off. Sheepskin wool is embedded into the leather.
* resists snags, tears, wrinkles, soiling and pilling.
* drapes beautifully; never sags and retains shape.
* is static-free.
* is flame resistant.
* is wind-proof.
* stays warm even when wet.
* is a natural moisturizer due to the high content of lanolin in the wool.
* is water resistant. The seeded skin side is naturally water resistant.
Sheepskin is a Recycled Byproduct
A sheepskin pelt is only one of many byproducts of the sheep farming industry. This byproduct of the food and wool industry is tanned and used in many wonderful ways rather than being discarded. At the end of a sheep's life, nothing is wasted. The whole animal is used, including bones and hooves. Sheepskin, like wood, is one of the few raw materials that nature will never exhaust. Its value as both a food source and a production material is therefore both aesthetic and ecological.
Please note that the sheep that make our products come primarily from herds raised for their food value rather than their hides. Sheepskin is a recycled byproduct and no endangered species skins are used in our products.

42 lg3000
Hi All,
Iv just been given the above TV from my dad as its making a really annoying whining noise so he went and bought a new one. He said to me that the whining noise used to stop after around 15 minutes or so of being on. Now however it doesn't stop at all, I can vary the pitch of the whining by changing the setting of the backlight up or down. Or putting the TV into different picture modes ie sport, cinema etc.
Now my suspicion is its the inverter board(s) having taken the back off and had a look the boards are as below. Now with the exception of this annoying noise the TV is working absolutely fine. Anyone else agree with my diagnosis or have any other ideas on what could cause the noise?
Vit71053.50 logah rev 3
Vit71053.51 logah rev 3
Re: 42 lg3000
Sounds like interferance from the invertor cable... I have it on a set here.... though yet to figure how the hell to stop it. If I move the inverter cables away from the speaker cables it quietens... Does yours do the same?
Re: 42 lg3000
Hmm Il check when I next take the back off. Dad said it never used to do it and when it first started it would go after around 10 minutes. Unfortunately now it doesn't go. I found a pair of the inverters on ebay for £29 with a warranty so iv bought them. Will try fitting them when they arrive and let you know if that cures it
Re: 42 lg3000
My parents 42LH3000 does this when displaying blue or black - e.g Sky HD EPG or blue screen as you change channel. Bugs me but they don't notice.
Re: 42 lg3000
So after replacing the inverters its still doing it, however it stops after about 2 minutes of use, then it wont return until I turn the tv off and leave it 5 minutes, then another 2 minutes of this noise followed by silence. Iv just ordered a new PSU board to see if that will solve it failing that il just put up with it
Re: 42 lg3000
Maybe a psu problem, sometimes the trafo makes hi freq. noise when capacitors are leaky.
Re: 42 lg3000
Unfortunately not a psu issue either although on the plus side I now have a spare set of inverters and a spare psu board. Although absolutely no idea whats making this noise :(
Re: 42 lg3000
Try using a cardboard tube to isolate source of sound?
Tried unplugging speakers to see if it goes away?
Re: 42 lg3000
Sound is still there with speakers unplugged, il go round it with a cardboard tube tomorrow although due to the frequency of the noise it kind of sounds like its coming from everywhere :-( it definitely changes frequency when I adjust the backlight settings like set it to movie, sport etc. The best way I can describe it is similar to the sound of the flash charging on an old disposable camera but louder.
