Gemstone Care 101:
- Store jewelry in separate spaces to eliminate scratching and damage to stones.
- Temperature should be kept constant to prevent cracking.
- Keep out of sunlight to avoid fading or discoloration.
- Do not wear around chemicals, during activities such as cleaning, swimming or showering. Gemstones can be porous and may absorb chemicals, even soap, which can build up inside the stone leaving the jewelry looking dull.
- Additionally, be aware that the chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray, and/or perfume can damage gems.
- The ultimate rule: when in doubt, leave it out. Think twice before putting gems in an ultrasonic cleaner or any chemical solution.
Gems should be gently wiped clean with a moist cloth.
A silver polishing cloth can be used to brighten the metal.

Dustin Byfuglien, Jets jump out to early lead as Winnipeg downs Hurricanes 4-2
WINNIPEG - The MTS Centre is quickly becoming one of the NHL's most daunting destinations for visiting teams.
The Jets closed out a five-game home stand with a 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night, their seventh victory in their last eight games at their new home.
"If we can get this to be a tough place to play in, which it obviously is, then it's going to be huge for us," said Jets winger Blake Wheeler, who had three assists. "I think our biggest challenge is going to try to be to play that same game on the road."
The Jets (13-11-4) extended their season-high win streak to four games, and have won all three meetings this season between the Southeast Division rivals.
Dustin Byfuglien scored 34 seconds into the first period and the Jets never looked back. The big defenceman banked a shot from behind the goal-line off the back of Carolina goaltender Cam Ward's leg and into the net.
The Jets built a 4-0 lead after two periods and held on as the Hurricanes struck twice in the third.
Chris Mason, whose three wins this season have all come against Carolina, made 23 saves for the Jets, the best coming on an Anthony Stewart breakaway in the second period.
"I wasn't getting a ton of shots there," Mason said. "To makes those saves was a good opportunity for myself to try to help the guys."
Mason is usually Winnipeg's backup, but is very effective against the Hurricanes, stopping 61 of 65 shots in those three wins.
"That's a beautiful thing when you can have that type of goaltending," said Jets coach Claude Noel. "That's really what gives you an opportunity to win every night."
Carolina (9-18-4) lost its seventh game in eight outings. The Hurricanes were forced to dress only 19 players after leading scorer Jeff Skinner was scratched with flu-like symptoms.
Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller, who was behind the bench for his sixth game since replacing the fired Paul Maurice, said his team dug itself too deep a hole in the first period.
"The guys don't quit," Muller said. "They keep battling through it. But it's the old saying: catch-up hockey is losing hockey."
Muller pulled Ward in the second period after allowing his fourth goal on 30 shots. Mike Murphy came on and stopped all seven shots he faced.
Evander Kane made it 2-0 less than five minutes after Byfuglien's goal with his 15th of the season on a sharp-angle shot through traffic from the left boards.
Tim Stapleton and Bryan Little added power-play goals 68 seconds apart in the second period to chase Ward from the game.
The Jets were coming off an emotional win on Tuesday night over Boston that snapped the Bruins'15-game points streak, and could have been caught looking ahead to a Saturday night date in Detroit. But Wheeler said the team did a good job of focusing on the Hurricanes.
"It's pretty easy to get up for the Stanley Cup champs, and playing in Detroit, too," he said. "It was one of those games where…if you let those guys with a little bit of time and space all of a sudden you're looking at the wrong end of the stick."
Justin Faulk scored his first goal of the season on a point shot that was redirected to get the Hurricanes on the board in the third period, and Brandon Sutter added a power-play goal to make it 4-2.
Newly-acquired defenceman Jaroslav Spacek, who came from Montreal in a Friday morning trade for Tomas Kaberle, had assists on both of Carolina's goals.
"I'm happy to put some points on the board," Spacek said, "but if you don't win it doesn't matter. I'd rather take two points for the team than my two points."
The Hurricanes have three days off before taking on the Maple Leafs in Toronto on Tuesday.
Notes: Jets forward Nik Antropov, who was expected to return from a lower-body injury, missed his fourth straight game... Jets defenceman Randy Jones returned to the lineup after missing 15 games with a lower-body injury…The Jets raised $7,781 and collected more than 2,500 toys at the game for the Christmas Miracle Toy and Cash Drive.

Harvard Square has a feeling of home.The environment, staff and the residents were all what we're looking for. I've been living here with my wife. I definitely would recommend this place to others.
Harvard Square has a lot of activities and they really keep the residents active. My mother-in-law would just sit in her chair if you let her, but she does planting and puts puzzles together, which is so much healthier for her. The staff members are friendly, nice, and caring people. My mother also lived there for a few years and we loved it. They were great. They have a really nice walking path in the back and it's well cared for. The price is reasonable too compared to the other facilities we looked at. My mother-in-law has a 1-bedroom with a bedroom, kitchenette, and an open area living room. She's got two big closets so she has plenty of storage. She's really happy there and she loves her apartment. It's more reasonable than the other places, which surprised me.
I put my father in Harvard Square last May. I am very pleased. The staff interacts well with him, answers all the questions he has, and responds if he has an issue. The room is small, but everything is well maintained. I am impressed so far, and I do not have any complaints. It appears to me that they have a lot to offer. My dad hasn't partook on any of it; I'd like to see him do that, but at 91, he is a little reluctant. I am trying to make him involved. I think it will be good for him, but he gets tired easily.
This assisted living facility is in a very small building that doesn't look like anything fancy from the outside and needs to be updated some, but it's very clean and well maintained.
Everyone seems to love it once they become residents. It's almost comical. Residents who need to be away on a hospital visit, for example, are always anxious that their rooms will still be available for them which says a lot. I've heard many of them repeat the same phrase: "I have to get back to Harvard Square." The staff and administration just make it feel like home. It seems that the women residents especially love living there, saying they appreciate the homey, intimate atmosphere and personal care they receive.
The rooms are very small, but clean and bathrooms have a great setup, which makes them easy to get around.
The food is excellent. Residents are always satisfied with it, and there's a cook who has been there a long, long time and takes pains to please individual residents as much as possible.
The administration treats the employees well from the housekeeping staff to the cooks to the hairdresser. It seems like a pleasant place to work, so it's also a pleasant place to live. There's just a good atmosphere at Harvard Square that feels contagious.
The whole staff is very professional and will even come to visit residents who are released into nursing homes in the area, which is a rarity.
Finally, there are great activities offered, walks around the block, shopping to malls and to nearby concerts. The activities director is very creative and also does a lot of research on residents' wishes, going the extra mile to find activities for those on limited incomes. Residents are also encouraged to do tutoring with high schools in the community, so they get the chance to be engaged that way, and exposed to people of other ages in the community.
We found what we wanted and right where we wanted it at Harvard Square, so I'm giving it a try. I think I'm going to love it. They're very adamant about fulfilling your needs. One of the things I like about it is the way they do their dining area. I've been in some of these with my in-laws two years ago, and I know they don't all do it this way. Here, they have café tables, and if you don't want to go down, they'll bring your dinner to you, but they try to have you eat downstairs close to the food preparation. The food was excellent. They have a chef that cooks it, and he keeps it going every day. You get a menu of choices. My room is exactly what I wanted and never thought I would have the chance to get in a facility like that. It's everything I expected and more.
They were pretty good at responding to me. I looked at their menus, and they seemed to have good quality food. The apartments were not as fancy, but Harvard Square was a smaller facility, which I like. It's homier and wasn't as institutional. They had a lot of activities. They had a bus or van that took people all over for shopping and different events. I don't think they had a stove. I cook and I eat a very specific diet, so I would want to be able to cook my own food. I like that they had some individual décor in their units rather than the standard where they were all kind of the same.
Best move we could have made for Mom. She's thriving! She lived in another retirement community before moving here in August 2014 – she didn't want to leave her room even to eat. The staff is awesome! I pop in at all hours of the day and have NEVER seen any of the staff in a bad mood. Everyone has a smile on their face, and she feels safe. She has even commented about how it IS home. LOVE IT!
My mother lived at Harvard Square for two years. She absolutely loved living there! When she was away she always said she wanted to "go home", which meant Harvard Square. Our family is truly grateful for the love and wonderful care she received at Harvard Square. We would highly recommend Harvard to all our friends and family! My father visited my mother every day and was treated like family by the staff at Harvard Square … it is a truly inclusive and supportive environment. Linda, the Director of Resident Activities, is absolutely fantastic! She made our family truly feel at home and always had a bright smile and big hug for everyone! Linda is an example of the wonderful people that cared for our Mom while she lived at Harvard … our family is truly going to miss seeing Linda and the rest of the Harvard Square staff. The only reason my mother moved was that her health deteriorated to the point that the care she needed was beyond the capability at Harvard. Otherwise we would still be there!
My mother is at this facility and I have to echo the previous poster's comments. It's a bit older building but it is well kept. The staff is wonderfully friendly, the restaurant food is good and there are lots of activities all day every day. There is a library, exercise room, spa, hair dresser, large common area. Highly recommended.
Harvard Square Senior Living is a warm, friendly facility where each resident is treated with respect and dignity. The entire staff works with those goals in mind. The food is tasty and nutritious and served restaurant style. Transportation is well planned to meet a variety of needs for the residents. I am pleased with my choice to live here in the independent living apartments.
Just spending an hour with them, I felt like we were touring a five star apartment/restaurant. First impression was very positive. Funny as it may seem, I noticed the hand sanitizer stations are located in numerous places. This is good. Discussed programs for emergency procedures and drills with employees and residents, very nice, and very professional. There is a lot to like – – the courtyards, the apartments and the atmosphere in general. One hour isn't really long enough to give fair judgment, but it is a start.
We toured a number of communities trying to find the best home for him. My father chose Harvard Square after he found out that some of his neighbors were residents there. He is living in the "independent" area of the community and should things change, he won't have to move again. Harvard Square offers a great friendly environment with a variety of social activities. There is a shuttle for doctors' appointments and other outings; great food, which he raves about. He does have the ability to cook in his own kitchen, but loves the chef's food so much, he probably won't cook. Not only is it delicious, there is a great variety. My father still drives and is still able to enjoy his standing activities of golf and worship, as he always did. What we love about Harvard is that my father is close to his old neighborhood, is safe and secure, which gives us peace of mind. This community was a little more expensive than others we toured but fell within his budget. My father loves Harvard Square.
We looked at 8 other facilities in Southeast Denver before choosing Harvard Square. From the moment we walked in, it resonated like home. There is a warm atmosphere, the staff is exceptionally welcoming and helpful. The dining area is bright, airy and not institutional, and open from 7am-7pm, so residents can eat whenever they are hungry. The food is wonderful, and there are abundant weekly activities. The mixed population of assisted/ independent living makes for a vibrant, engaged community. This is my mom's first week in residence, and my heart is light, confident we made the right choice.
They are very good at keeping the community clean. All the staff are awesome and keep me up to date. My mom likes the meals especially prime rib night, it is really good. She tends to eat hamburgers and has general favorable comments. We are still figuring the spices in the meals but are glad to give substitutions. There are times when they help by bringing her meals to her room. She thinks it is a pretty good place to be and has meet some folks. The staff are appreciative. My mom has tried bingo and some special programs like singing and goes to work out sessions when she can. She is really trying to get acclimated.
They have a very caring staff. The apartments were larger than many I saw at other communities. The quality of the food was very good. My mom was very satisfied. They have a large sized deck that the residents can use at any time. Although my mom does not use it, the exercise facility had nice equipment and a good selection and an off site personal trainer who came into help the residents that wanted that.
Overall, Harvard Square was the best value out of all 7 retirement communities I visited. Their common areas were fairly modern and spacious and the individual room layouts were excellent. They also had a broad range of care which is important to limit you loved ones moves. Not only was their staff very friendly, but so were the people living in the community. For example, a person living in the community requested if she could eat with us during a tasting for lunch which I found great because I could ask her questions about the community. My only real complaint are the rooms could be updated without charging an additional amount per month.
Harvard Square is a beautiful and well-maintained community. We chose this community because everyone was super friendly and warm and very welcoming, it had a very good vibe. The staff is very caring and attentive to my mom's care needs. We are still in the process of working on decorating her room to that she feels more at home and surrounded by her things. I have dined with my mom at the dining area which is very nice and the food is good. The only negative being that when they are really busy it sometimes isn't as hot as it should be when it's served. They do offer a good variety of food. They have a lot to offer in the way of activities, mom has not had a chance to try out many of them yet. They provide transportation for the residents to go out shopping and other excursions. I would highly recommend this community to others.
Toured several retirement communities in the area for my 85 year old dad. Chose Harvard Square because they seemed genuinely friendly and seemed to offer good value and nice living/assistance options. The food is also excellent.
We have not been disappointed (much to my surprise). Dad likes it a lot, as do I. Staff is very caring and friendly. Residents are nice and like to get out & meet each other, yet respect others' desire for privacy. The staff offers lots and lots to do. There's a nice library, a beautiful sunny deck, and nice walking paths/park nearby. The assistance staff is very nice and helpful as well.
I am really happy we chose Harvard Square.
My dad used to live here and it was great. It was a real good value. The people were great and the activities were very good too but my father needed a greater level of care than they could provide. I would rate them fives across the board! They had great food and good space. Dad had a one bedroom apartment. It was really nice and affordable.
Everybody makes it as easy as possible to get started. They continue to be a high quality facility. Harvard Square is a great community. It has a very clean and friendly atmosphere. The care takers do a very good job at taking care of the residents. The cost is a reasonable price. I rated the value 4 stars. My overall rating of this property is 5 stars because I think this is a wonderful assisted living community.
We really liked Harvard Square. [Removed] was great. She had all of the necessary information about the available apartments and let us spend as much time as we needed evaluating the options and deciding what would be best for Mom. The property was clean, staff was friendly, and the residents looked happy. We liked all of the activities, that the dining area is open from 7 AM – 7 PM, and their ambassador program where they match current residents with new ones to help them get acquainted with others and the property.
My mother is staying at this community and it has been going well. The staff do their best to accommodate her needs and they are nice and respectful. They keep the community very clean and provide weekly cleaning to her room. Meals are brought to my mom if she is unable to get downstairs. She likes to watch politics and knit in her room. I would recommend this community, I do not have to worry about her care and safeness.
My parents are doing fabulous at this community, they really love the place. They are taking very good care of my parents. We have had a few situations and if they weren't at this community, I think they might have ended up in the hospital. The community looks outstanding, they keep their room and the facility spotless. The staff is amazing. They do offer activities for the residents. The food is wonderful, they have a really great selection of food. They are in good hands and I would recommend it.
My sister really loves it here. She seems to be happy at this facility and they do a good job in taking care of her. The building is immaculately clean and the housekeeping staff is very kind. The food is good and seems well portioned and she raves about the soup all the time. For activities, they offer things like yoga and a lot of movie watching. I would absolutely recommend this facility to other families.
Every person we meet were great, friendly, kind and knowledgeable with ALL of our questions (Grace Gentry, Linda Timmons, Mekda's with medical and Mary Beth's voice answering phones and greeting everyone). A lot of activities for our Parents to do and staff is with them on a lot of them. Maintenance, dining room and assistance staff all friendly and very helpful.
They do a good job. We are really happy with them. The food is actually pretty good it's one of the reasons we chose them. Janet is the manager there, and working with senior is her avocation as well as her vocation, she really likes it, and it shows. They were right on top of their residents, we mistakenly signed our loved one out on the wrong sheet, and with in a very short amount of time, they were calling us and trying to find out what had happened. That gave me even more confidence.
The staff there at Harvard Square go out of their way to accommodate everyone. They are always very friendly and everything is done with a smile. The food (all means, breakfast lunch and dinner) is exceptional, and I send my compliments to whoever hires the wait staff. They seem to be high school students, and they are hard working and I think waiting at a place like Harvard Square is a great life experience for them, so my compliments to them and whoever hires and trains them. As far as areas where they might could improve, I do think they could add some more type of activities, having a broader selection, and encourage individuals to get involved that may otherwise be a bit reluctant to do so on their own.
Out of all the places that I visited, Harvard Square was absolutely the most friendly and most welcoming. My grandmother was welcomed by everyone there with open arms. They made it a very easy transition. She has since passed away and was not there for very long, but during the time she was it was the best place for her.
I'm happy and I think we're getting our money's worth. My peace of mind is worth it. It seems like the acitivities are good but I don't really know because my parents aren't very active. They email me every week and keep me posted so that's great. I would say that people, if they don't know what questions to ask, they don't ask them. I don't think that finacially we would have been able to get my parents in to Harvard Square because I didn't know about VA benefits. Ask questions about the VA benefits because as it turned out, it was very doable.
Everyone there is just so sweet. The dining is more like a restaurant. It doesn't feel like a dining hall which I think is more dignified for them. You order off of a menu that changes all the time. Within 3 minutes I knew that this was the place. It's fabulous.
Harvard Square has been a wonderful experience for my family. We live out of town and had to coordinate long distance, and the staff was very helpful and very much on top of things. My sister felt very good about the facility when she toured it – the residents were active and happy, and not sitting around in wheelchairs. We also are not sure what level of care my mom will need as time goes by, and Harvard Square can provide whatever level she needs, which we are very happy about so she does not have to move again.
It's very rare now a days to find a company like Harvard Square where their staff truly cares about their residents. I have known a lot of them for over 9 years and they still impress me with how kind, organized and on point they have always been. They make the place really feel like home! Thank you for always trusting RGA Home Health with your patients and God bless!!

Lombardozzi practicing for role as backup shortstop
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Steve Lombardozzi has already played quite a few positions in his brief Major League career. Shortstop is the least familiar of them.
He's about to get a crash course. The way the Tigers' bench projects to line up, there's a good chance Lombardozzi will be the primary backup to Jose Iglesias on the Opening Day roster. New manager Brad Ausmus' goal with him this spring is to prepare him for that likelihood.
"I told him the first day [of full-squad workouts], 'We want you working at short and third,'" Ausmus said Thursday morning. "That doesn't mean he's not going to get his looks at second or maybe in left field, though we think left field is farther down the pecking order for him. But if Iglesias needs a couple days, we need a guy to play short."
It's a different spot for the Tigers, who had a natural shortstop on their bench for years. While the starting job has been a carousel ever since Carlos Guillen was moved out of that spot in 2008, Ramon Santiago was a constant. Detroit did not re-sign him as a free agent, and he ended up agreeing to a Minor League contract with the Reds just before Spring Training.
Instead of a true utility infielder, the Tigers are expected to go with two super-utility players in the switch-hitting Lombardozzi and veteran left-handed hitter Don Kelly. Ironically, Kelly came up through the Tigers' farm system as a shortstop, but isn't considered much more than an emergency option there at this point in his career, having turned 34 last weekend.
The 25-year-old Lombardozzi has very little experience at short at any level -- 20 games in the Minor Leagues, and one start there in 2011 and 2012. He's a natural second baseman who added playing time at third base and left field once he made it to the big leagues in Washington.
"He has played short. He hasn't played a ton of short," Ausmus said. "So we want to see him play short. We want him to be comfortable there. We want him to be comfortable at third, although we also have Don Kelly."
Iglesias, as long as he's healthy, isn't likely to need many days off at age 24. If he gets injured, the Tigers will have options down the road at Triple-A Toledo, including middle infield prospect Hernan Perez and utility infielder Danny Worth. Lombardozzi doesn't have to be able to cover shortstop for a stretch, but a day or two at a time would be enough.

sad thing is you should have 5 more year of posts that were lost when forum crashed in 2008. Thankfully the important coding posts were able to be re-posted and saved. But many posts with the older mod descriptions and discussions were lost.
I use Inno Setup to compile the files for the installer. While it is a very good program, custom changes like that are done with pascal scripting and I have no formal training with any coding. but I have found most things are possible, but for me it take a lot of trial and error (mostly errors) lol

- Stocks To Watch
Nothing Lazy 'Bout La-Z-Boy's Earnings as Shares Surge
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
My grandfather owned a La-Z-Boy (LZB), and yours probably did too. But there's nothing old-fashioned about its stock's performance today following its earnings release. Going up never goes out of style.
MarketWatch has the details on La-Z-Boy's results:
For the quarter ended Oct. 26, La-Z-Boy posted a profit of $16.7 million, or 31 cents a share, up from $6.6 million, or 12 cents a share, a year earlier. The latest results included a reduction of some valuation reserves worth a penny a share, while prior-year results had three cents in restructuring charges.
Sales climbed 14% to $366.4 million.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected a per-share profit of 26 cents on $349 million in revenue.
Raymond James analysts Budd Bugatch and Justin Santa Cruz really like what they see. Really, really, really.
We reaffirm our Strong Buy rating on LZB and increase our 12-month price target to $29.00 following the company's strong operating results. Sales beat our estimates in each of the three segments, and operating income was better in two of three. Despite an uncertain consumer environment and difficult industry backdrop (traffic was "flat" for the period); La-Z Boy delivered robust sales growth and improved profitability. Same-store written sales for the 314 La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries (97 company-owned) increased 9.8% y/y, above our 8.0% estimate, and on top of 13.3% growth in the prior year. La-Z-Boy seems likely to continue to benefit from an improving economy and consumer confidence as well as the housing recovery.
Shares of La-Z-Boy have gained 11% to $27.02 at 1:54 p.m. today. Its performance is also giving other furniture stocks a boost. Flexsteel (FLXS) has risen 1% to $27.60, Hooker Furniture (HOFT) has jumped 1.6% to $17.12 and Ethan Allen International (ETH) has advanced 1.2% to $29.20. Haverty Furniture (HVT) has dipped 0.3% to $27.87.

INTRODUCTION: The advantages of minimally invasive live donor nephrectomy have been well documented, with no adverse effect on graft function. Minimal access nephrectomy has now become the standard of care in many units. We have adopted the hand-assisted laparoscopic live donor (HALLDN) technique, and present our initial experience with the first 24 cases.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: HALLDNs were performed trans-peritoneally. Primary outcomes included total operative time, warm ischaemic time, time to discharge, and postoperative complications. Warm ischaemic time was measured from the time of clamping the renal artery to the time of perfusing the kidney on the back table.
RESULTS: Mean total operative time was 143 minutes and mean warm ischaemic time 188 seconds. A downward trend was displayed for operative times. Mean time to discharge was 60 hours. A right nephrectomy was performed in 2 cases. No surgical morbidity is reported. We describe one donor mortality.
DISCUSSION: Our results compare favourably with those documented in the literature. Aberrant renal vascular anatomy had no adverse effect on operative or warm ischaemic times. HALLDN proved beneficial in patients with a high BMI.
CONCLUSION: Surgical experience is vital when performing HALLDN. Overcoming the learning curve with an animal model is beneficial.

Supernatural Shenanigans
You know, after what happened the other night while I was watching Supernatural, I think I've finally made my peace with the hiatus. It's been well-documented that I am a wuss, so enjoying this show has always been a bit of a stretch for me (although Jared and Jensen have helped me overcome my phobias just enough to keep watching...hmmm, Supernatural as therapy. Who knew?)
Has anything weird ever happened to you while you were watching something spooky? To date, I've had two freakish coincidences. One was when a light on the show started to flicker, Sam and Dean gave each other the significant "a-ha, demon presence!" look and my power went out shortly therafter. But since I was watching TV during a major thunderstorm, the electrical outage wasn't exactly a mystery worthy of calling Bobby. Then there was the time I was watching the first season DVDs with my husband after the kids were in bed and supposed to be asleep. We were right at the beginning of "Home," where a single mom moves into the Winchester's old house. Almost simultaneously, the girl on the television told her mother that there's "something in my closet" and my OWN daughter showed up in our doorway blurting, "there's something in my closet." (I admit, that freaked me out enough that I made my husband go check because I wasn't about to!)
But here's my latest. (And while I'm sure someone with a background in how televisions and DVD players work could explain this scientifically, I cannot. Big coward that I am, I'm just glad I wasn't alone.) A girlfriend was over who has only seen a couple of episodes before, so of course I pulled out my DVDs. We'd been watching late into the night and everyone else in the house was asleep. We half-heartedly commented that we should probably turn it off because it was so late, but then we talked ourselves into one more episode. In the middle of the episode, the picture went wonky--first it was staticky, then it went completely green (which is a new one on me) although we could still hear Sam and Dean discussing that what they had on their hands was a ghost problem, which of course meant digging up the bones. So I stood up, told her I was sorry that we didn't get to finish the episode, but that it was probably for the best since we both had to be up in the morning. I popped out the DVD to put away and all of the sudden, Sam and Dean appeared on the television, digging up a body (no sound, but the picture was clear as day.) I looked from the DVD in my hand to my friend, who brightly announced, "Gotta go!" I was right on her heels, hitting the TV remote over my shoulder as I left.
I realize this isn't on par with, say, my couch levitating or Zuul the gatekeeper appearing in my fridge, but watching two people dig up a grave on my TV after I'd already removed the DVD was sufficiently bizarre enough that I think I'm ready for a break from watching creepy shows. Say, from now until nine p.m. on Friday, September 24...

Basic Principles of Dog Bark Collar Training
Dog bark collar has created a good buzz in the market and is used by many professional trainers who train their dog to bark or stop barking on command. The device works in a very simple principle where a Sound Impact Sensor detects sound vibration as the dog start barking and generates a ultrasonic sound as the mode of correcting the undesirable barking. As soon as the dog perceives the ultrasonic sound from the collar worn around his neck, he stops barking and this is what the trainer encashes while training the dog not to bark or only to bark on command.
Dog bark collar training is based on 3 basic principles:
First - Determining the reason(s) of barking is the most important phase of bark collar training... This helps the trainer address the root cause of the problem.
Second - Deterring nuisance barking... In this phase the trainer uses the bark collar. The device helps in making barking a bitter experience for the dog because it generates the ultrasonic sound which is unpleasant for the dog. By this, the barking itself becomes unpleasant for the dog. Plus the trainer doesn't reward the dog for barking.
Third - The dog gets rewarded for stop barking. when the dog stops barking the trainer praises him and reward him with his tidbits, which encourages the dog not to bark.
Technology based dog training methods have never been so easy until such devices was invented. You can find more information on dog bark collar here: http://www.dogbarkcollar.com

keep burning up resistor 3, which in the diagram is a 56ohm resistor.
I am also concerned that the optoisolator I have is for 240v and not 120v, but I had assumed (again) that it could run at either voltage,
I know that the Arduino can operate on up to 20vdc (12vdc recommended), and that you can get up to your input voltage (minus something like .7vdc I'm told)
I didn't really expect the triac circuit to "work" with PWM (I expected it to do something, I just didn't know what),
Status update: it works!Well, not the triac circuit, I've done it much more simply with a mosfet and a rectifier to avoid zero-cross detection. I also ran my own numbers and figured out why my resistors were frying (after some of you pointed out that I should do my own math), and I just don't know how those other guys got that circuit to work. I'll get back to triacs eventually, but this way seem infinitely simpler because it avoids the zero-cross interrupt coding. I have also used this circuit (with higher amp parts and the addition of a schottky diode- but the explanation below is for my 4amp dimmer circuit) to control the speed of a 12vdc drill.What I've done is to take wall power and run it through a 4amp rectifier bridge, then run that power through my 9am 200v mosfet with an outlet in line with the positive wire for me to plug my light string (or anything) into. To control the gate, I put a 5v voltage regulator (and capacitors) on a 9v transistor battery, with positive running through the detector on an optoisolator and then to the gate, and ground tying into my 110v DC ground. There is also a 100k 1/4watt pull down resistor from the gate to ground.The emitter of my optoisolator is running the "fade" sketch off of a battery powered Arduino Uno. I am very pleased with the results, and I have effectively faded LED strings and a 60watt incandescent bulb without any noticeable problems or heat generation. However I still have some questions.1)I read some things I don't understand about how my 100k pulldown resistor may be effecting the PWM signal due to power dissipation or recovery time or something. Is there a better resistance or wattage for the circuit, and why?2)By using separate batteries for my voltage regulator and Arduino, I believe I am getting the best isolation. However, this is not the most practical. In the future, I intend to use a transformer to step down a separate branch of AC to 12vac, then rectify it to 12vdc, so that my voltage regulator can take it to 5vdc, which is within the specs of my mosfet gate. This will all be on the detector side of the optoisolator, so it shouldn't affect the isolation between the 110v and the Arduino.I would also like to run the Arduino off of the 110vac, but I want to know how that will effect my isolation.If I plug a standard wall wart into the same 110vac source to power my Arduino, have I lost some or all of my isolation by sharing a common ground? If not, could I instead just branch off some of that 12vdc from the transformer/rectifier setup before it goes to the 5v regulator and power my Arduino on that (given that I believe I have accounted for amp draw), or will that negate the purpose of the optoisolator?The way I see it, the only way to get the Arduino completely isolated from that circuit is to have it on batteries, which I don't want to do (it'll be in a theatrical play for 6 weeks, and that's a lot of batteries). But is sharing a common ground acceptable?Thanks everyone for your help! I could not have gotten this far without the input you guys have given me.-JasonPS- I plan to do some pictures and a schematic when I have this completely solved and functional when I have some time, so other people can see what I've done, so any ideas to make this as safe as possible are welcome. I have a liquid, brush on insulation material that I plan to use on my 110v parts, save the mosfet's heat sink (which will be physically isolated from being touched).

So Namco Bandai is making the new Smash Bros. games. Know what that means, don't you?
There's a really good chance Namco characters will pop up in Smash Bros.
Tales director and producer Yoshito Higuchi tells The Official Nintendo Magazine that he would totally be happy if Tales characters appeared in Smash Bros. Of course he would! That would be great for the Tales games.
"Maybe if we beg Sakurai-san, it will happen!" Tales producer Makoto Yoshizumi clarified, adding, "I think it's still too early to talk about it."
Ultimately, Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai has the final say over which characters appear in the game.
"We need to keep in mind that a character can only appear in a Smash Bros. game if he already appeared on a Nintendo console," added Yoshizumi. This is one of the conditions, and many Tales characters do not fulfill it. Of course, some do, like characters from Tales of Symphonia or Tales of the Abyss."
You just watch as Namco turns these games into Smash Bros. Nintendo X Namco. You just watch.
Namco Bandai director would love Tales characters to be in Smash Bros Wii U [ONM]

Compare To: Maison Harlem, Lido, Chez Lucienne
Grade: Recommended. The epitome of a great neighborhood restaurant.
Three and a half years ago, the fancy French wine shop on 129th Street and Lenox Avenue closed because, as the owner told me just months before folding, "nobody here likes to drink wine." And while a good wine shop has yet to take its place within walking distance of my apartment, it's now easy to find great wine by the glass, and judging by the full tables at Barawine, a new wine bar and bistro on 120th and Lenox, it's only going to get easier.
This is that increasing rarity in restaurants. It's the kind of value proposition that comes only when folks with experience and know-how combine it with a personal stake in the neighborhood to create a true gem. Did Fabrice Warin, who brings a front of the house pedigree that stems from Le Cercle Rouge to François Payard, have to open a wine bar in central Harlem? No, but it helps that he lives a few doors down.
The space is all modern French bistro with walls and floors lined with dark painted wood and wine bottles, tables and laid with gray tiles, brass steam-punk lighting fixtures, and a wide, high, communal table that occupies half the space. It's the kind of room that not only makes dining alone possible, but actually invites it.
To put together the menu of simple French bistro classics with a few nods to Asia and Harlem, Warin enlisted the help of Christophe Bonnegrace, former chef at the West Village's La Villette. There's nothing mind-blowingly creative or overly complex here, just simple things done well. It's the kind of food my wife and I would eat on an impromptu weeknight, or perhaps alone with a book and a glass of wine on a Saturday afternoon. The wine selection, by the way, is easily best in neighborhood both in terms of absolute quality and bang for the buck with dozens of glasses available in the $9 to $15 range.
I think there's a law that requires every restaurant in Harlem to serve macaroni and cheese, which wouldn't be bad if it were all as good as Barawine's. Their Macaroni, Ham, and Cheese ($12) is worth breaking promises for. Pasta shells cooked to just past al dente (as macaroni and cheese should be), are tossed with bits of fatty French ham and flecks of black truffle, with just enough bechamel to bind the massive amounts of gruyère that tie the thing together. In five visits to the restaurant, I've never seen a neighboring table not order it.
A crown of finely shredded arugula tops a simple salad of Roasted Beets and Boursin Cheese ($13) with bits of charred corn and a hazelnut vinaigrette. It's a little surprising this day and age to find a modern restaurant that doesn't stick to the seasonal mantra, but the corn is plenty sweet and flavorful. Corn makes another appearance in the Spicy Corn and Poblano Soup ($9). Sweet, not-too-thick, and packed with fresh corn flavor, it'd be perfect in the summer, but does just fine in the winter too.
A bit more appropriate for mid-January is their French Onion Soup ($9). I've been enjoying the recent resurgence of classic French Onion Soup in New York restaurants, and Barawine's is about as classic as you can get, with a rich beef broth, sweet, melting onions, and a crisp crouton with a cap of gratineed gruyère.
The menu's at it's best when it sticks to classic French bistro fare. A perfectly cooked Hanger Steak ($24) comes a buttery medium-rare with roasted potatoes and shallots in its own jus. It's all you could ask for in a bistro steak, and the Roasted Duck Breast ($25) is all you could ask for in a bistro duck. Barawine uses a magret, the extra thick and fatty breast of a foie gras duck and serves it with a bright and jammy port wine sauce. The lentils it comes with are uninspired, but who cares when the duck is so tasty?
There are few real duds on the menu. The closest you'll get is a Fluke Ceviche ($13), which is fresh but dull, with none of the promised citrus or ponzu flavor. If you need a raw protein fix, you'll do much better with the Beef Carpaccio ($14) or the Beef Tartare ($15), both of which are bright, meaty. Eating them reminds me of why these dishes are classics.
The Lobster Carpaccio is similarly delicious. Tender, paper-thin slices of lobster is served with a bright mayonnaise flavored with piment d'espelette.
Also skippable: the Peruvian Pink Scallops ($16), which are cooked just fine, but come with ratatouille and a raw tomato sauce, two preparations which don't work with insipid winter tomatoes. Those same tomatoes are easier to push aside on the Branzino Provençal ($26), which is served pan-seared, crisp-skinned, and perfectly moist with asparagus, black olives, and some excellent olive oil.
On the dessert front, there's always a selection of pastries from François Payard (as the owner told us over dinner once "François takes care of his own"), a fruit tart, a sabayon, an intense vegan chocolate mousse (served with unfortunately forgettable vegan doughnuts), and a great chocolate bombe (which recently replaced an equally good tiramisu).
More than anything, it's the smiling, easy, comfortable service and reasonable prices that have brought me back here several times over the last few weeks. There are other great restaurants in the neighborhood (and more all the time), but none that have made me feel as comfortable or offer the same kind of value for someone who enjoys good wine and good food. I hope this is the beginning of a trend.
Barawine is not the kind of restaurant you'd ride the 2/3 line up to dine at if you live downtown—which is good news for folks like me who enjoy that rare New York experience of being able to walk into a restaurant un-announced on a Thursday night and enjoy a fantastic meal without the hassle of a long wait or shoulder-bumping. It's the kind of restaurant that makes me happy to live in Harlem.

A collection of scholarly works about individual liberty and free markets. A project of Liberty Fund, Inc.
Purchase now from Liberty Fund
Collected Works of James Wilson, edited by Kermit L. Hall and Mark David Hall, with an Introduction by Kermit L. Hall, and a Bibliographical Essay by Mark David Hall, collected by Maynard Garrison (Indianapolis: Liberty Fund, 2007). 2 vols. https://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/2073,
This two-volume set brings together a collection of writings and speeches of James Wilson, one of only six signers of both the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution, and one of the most influential members of the federal Constitutional Convention in 1787. Wilson's writings and speeches had a significant impact on the deliberations that produced the cornerstone documents of our democracy. Wilson's signal contribution to the founding of our national government was his advocacy for both a strong national government and an open and democratic political system, a position that set him apart from both Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson.
Wilson's writings form one of the most significant bodies of thought about the relationship between a distinctively American form of democracy and a distinctly American constitutional system. Wilson wrote extensively on the concepts of separation of powers, the authority of the judiciary to review acts of the other branches, and the development of principles of representative government. This collection of Wilson's writings includes his famous law lectures, a number of noteworthy essays and speeches, some of which are presented together for the first time, and his opinions in several Supreme Court cases. Together, the writings in this volume illustrate that Wilson's words more nearly foreshadowed the nation's future than those of his better remembered contemporaries such as Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson. In addition to providing the reader with a historical view of the nature of American democracy, the power of courts and judges, the independence of the executive branch, and the power of law to structure social relations, this book speaks directly to the ongoing debate about the scope and nature of judicial review and the place of law and judicial structures in the conduct of society.

West Michigan entrepreneur Rick DeVos' Start Garden venture capital effort has invested more than $2.3 million in over 100 projects during its first year.
Start Garden began last spring, investing $5,000 in two potential ideas, projects and startup businesses each week. The fund is backed by $15 million from DeVos' family, and ideas that take root get additional funding — up to $500,000 on a single idea.
DeVos on Thursday offered an update in Grand Rapids about Start Garden, which plans to invest most of rest of the fund's remaining money during the next two years. Ideas in the first year have included smartphone apps, new products, even beer.
"It's really important to have a great entrepreneur," DeVos said in a telephone interview this week. "Someone with hustle. Someone with hunger."
Start Garden aims to make it easier for an idea to become a startup business and to help make Michigan a better place to develop such ideas.
In March, Crain's Detroit Business wrote about DeVos and Start Garden as a part of its New Michigan Deal report.
During the weekly selections, Start Garden officials picked one idea and the public selected another online. Recipients have 60 to 90 days to work with their idea after getting the initial $5,000, and then return to give an in-person presentation.
In the first year, 22 ideas got between $20,000 and $80,000. Three were funded at a total of about $150,000 each, and one got $500,000.
"Over the next seven to 10 years, we make money when a handful of our portfolio companies grow financially," DeVos told the Grand Rapids Business Journal, which reported on the one-year celebration of Start Garden. The report details some of the 106 projects funded this year.
"We put a lot of money in the first three years, and even though we're only one year in, we really like the way things are shaping up."

Isabel Marant Spring 2012
Isabel Marant Spring 2012
It doesn't take much for us to go dizzy over Izzy, but somehow, Isabel Marant's Spring collection has left us more enamored than ever before. Marant has the Parisian-cool look down pat, as seen in the array of sexy hand-knit dresses, doodle-print jeans, and minidresses she sent down the runway. It was the perfect balance of rock-star-meets-bohemian, as even more evidenced in pastel patchwork pieces paired with cozy knits, and fringed sweaters with snakeskin-print pants. Meanwhile, partywear options were provided via body-hugging minidresses made in tie-dye and metallic prints. Marant also showed off her sporty side with football tees and surprisingly chic track pants. Leave it to Marant to make sweatpants and tees look so good. After all, there's a reason why the designer has such a cult following. More details from the collection below.
- Trends: Colorful knits, football tees, printed and patchwork jeans, track pants, tie-dye.
- Colors: Pastels, blue, yellow, red, black, orange, pink, purple.
- Key Look: The sexy knitted dresses and patchwork pieces.
- Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave Parisian-cool looks like Kate Bosworth and Sienna Miller.

Never one to miss out on an opportunity to sell a ka-jillion toys, DreamWorks is moving ahead with a sequel to "How to Train Your Dragon."
"2010 is off to a strong start, thanks in large part to the performance of How to Train Your Dragon, which - having grossed nearly $375 million to date in worldwide box office - has become DreamWorks Animation's next franchise. We plan to release the sequel theatrically in 2013," DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg said yesterday in a press release.
The move was really a forgone conclusion, as author Cressida Cowell, who penned the series of children's books, let it be known last month that the studio had already bought the rigths to the whole saga.
U.S. & World
"They bought them all before Christmas," said Cowell. "I think we're covered. They bought all of them."
PopcornBiz loved this movie,so it's hard to get too cranky about this development. Honestly, it's "How to Train Your Dragon 4" that we're dreading.

Many of you use the Miata as Nice Price or Crack Pipe's baseline of value. Seeing as Mazda's sports car is the coin of the realm around here, what do you think of one for thirteen grand?
You couldn't Run DMC fast enough away from yesterday's 1999 Range Rover boom box. The combination of legendary mechanical infidelity and a puketastic choice of wheels made its hoopty price harder to swallow than a Kanye apology. All that and a bag of chips wound up giving the blacker than the inside-of-a-well-digger's-ass Brit a stinging 87% Crack Pipe rebuke. MRSINGR sings a sad, sad song indeed.
Oh well, perhaps today's Mazdaspeed MX-5 turbo will have you all singing a different tune. Everybody likes the Miata, right? Reconstituting the form made popular and then all but abandoned by the British and Italians, the MX-5 has curried favor among a divergent group of drivers including fun-seeking women, teh gahz, and even hard core racers. And of course anybody who could check off all three of those boxes – cough* Betty Jack Devin *cough – would conceivably go apoplectic over this Velocity Red two seater.
Like the Hydrogen atom, what initially made the Miata so great was its extreme elemental nature — what was needed to put a big smile on its driver's face was there, and everything else was left off. While larger and less cheeky, Mazda's second swing at the plate refined the concept without losing too much of what made the first a good substitute for a barrel full of monkeys. What was gained was a couple hundred pounds and some government-meddling pedestrian-friendly headlamps, the previous pop-ups apparently having the potential for jaywalker genitalia removal. BTW, wouldn't genitalia be an awesome name for a sports car? Imagine being able to say Let's take out the Genitalia today or I spent the morning waxing my Genitalia, and it looks insane now! The question would remain, do you have what it takes to master a Genitalia?
You might ask yourself the same thing with this turbo'd 1.8, which the seller – Cody Strife – says makes over 200 horses. Now, I just finished watching Jeremy Clarkson blow sparkplugs out of a normally aspirated version of the Mazda twin cam so 9.5 PSI makes me a little leery. Of course Jezza is a buffoon, and the Mazdaspeed engine is a factory turbo which here has seen but modest upgrades to its intake and exhaust. That should keep its stress at the skidmarks called out in gym class level, and not at the terrorist hostage with ill-planned dotted-line neck tattoo level.
Other mods here include a spate of Flyin' Miata springs, shocks and sway bars, plus a fresh set of
Yoko Onos Yokohamas mounted on Enkei 16 inchers. Externally the car has skirts like your sister, and its trunk lid benefits from an unobtrusive lip spoiler, while inside a roll bar appears to be the only change from stock. It's not a very old car so the claimed 58K mileage seems about right.
What's the downside? Well, there's a couple of douchie stickers that'll need to be heat-gunned off, and there's the fact that the seller calls this the latest from Strife Performance, even though that doesn't seem to be an actual business. It's sort of like that Seinfeld episode where the spazzy dude kept referring to himself in the third person – Jimmy likes Miatas! – and that just seems a little weird. But the car otherwise doesn't seem off, and Strife Performance is willing to cut the price if you don't want all his add-ons. Should you want a strife sentence then this MX-5 will set you back $13,000. No Strife in your life? $10,750. That seems like an awful lot of work to remove the mods, so let's stick with the Strife. What do you say, is $13,000 a price that would make you Mazdaspeed over to buy it? Or, does that make you say do you know how many (fill in the blank) I could get for that!?
You decide!

GLOUCESTER — Seventy-seven-year-old Marge Bishop isn't shy about her Bruins fixation. After all, she named her second son after Bobby Orr.
Bishop's dining room is filled with signed photos of players. There are Bruins light-up pens, bobblehead dolls, and Christmas ornaments swarming her china cabinet.
But Bishop's most prized Bruins-related possession is tucked away in a FedEx envelope in her bedroom. It's a black-and-yellow lanyard with a plastic card attached — her admission to TD Garden.
Bishop has free Bruins tickets for life.
It's a gift from Charlie Jacobs, son of Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs.
"Why did I get so lucky? How did this happen to me?" said Bishop, who lives in a brown house on a gravelly lot in a wooded area of Gloucester. Her father built the house in 1932.
"I'm just a regular person," Bishop said. "And I've been given this remarkable once-in-a-lifetime gift. It's incredible. It's the most remarkable story."
The tale — of a generous gesture from a powerful man — is one Bishop has kept quiet for years. She didn't think it was her place to speak publicly about it.
"I finally wanted to talk about it because I think people should know," she said. "Charlie Jacobs is an amazing person."
Bishop has held a pair of season tickets since the Nixon administration. She and her husband were accustomed to an annual price increase of $3-$5.
But in 2004, the tickets rose from $73 apiece to $90.
"That was just too much," said Bishop, who worked in customer service at Tupperware for 15 years. "We couldn't afford it. So we said we wouldn't renew."
A Bruins representative asked if she would consider moving back to a cheaper section.
But Bishop loved her first-row seats. She was close enough to feel a part of the action. The Zamboni drivers knew her by name; she handed them chocolate candies after each period.
She said no to moving her seats.
A few days later, the Bishops received a voice mail from Charlie Jacobs, who is the team's principal. He ended up contacting her all summer.
He invited her to Fenway Park for a Jimmy Fund function, then asked her to join the newly established Season Ticket Advisory Board.
The renewal deadline passed, and the Bruins didn't open Bishop's tickets to the public.
"Charlie never gave up on me," Bishop said, "even though he knew anyone with financial means would scoop those seats up in a heartbeat."
So Bishop hung on to her seats — until 2006-07.
Most tickets were reduced that season (a byproduct of the 2005-06 lockout). Not Bishop's. Her pair spiked from $90 a pop to $150.
She told Jacobs that she could no longer afford them.
Jacobs invited Bishop for a backstage tour of the Garden, including the weight room and luxury offices. Then he showed her a plastic card he carries around — a Patriots VIP pass with his name on it.
"He could go to any game he wanted at any time," Bishop said. "At first I didn't know why he was showing me it."
Then Jacobs presented Bishop with a similar card. Hers was good for any Bruins game.
"It was the most unbelievable gesture," Bishop said. "People just don't do things like that."
Bishop has never missed a game. Since her husband begins work at his construction job at 5 a.m. and lifts heavy equipment all day, he's sometimes too tired to attend.
So Bishop has brought everyone from her doctor to the supermarket cashier.
"Her name was Maria," Bishop said. "She saw I was wearing a Bruins pin and she said, 'Oh, I love the Bruins!' So I asked if she wanted to join me."
Bishop's fandom began in the late 1960s when games were first televised on Channel 38. She was enamored by Orr.
During the Bruins' 1972 Stanley Cup run, Bishop would camp out from 7 p.m. to 9 a.m. at a shopping mall near the ticket offices.
"It was really cold staying out all night," Bishop said. "We would use newspapers for insulation."
Bishop always wore yellow sweaters to games. She owned three and rotated them.
Bishop said she doesn't like to contact Jacobs too much during the season; she knows he's busy and doesn't want to distract him. She usually talks to his secretary, if anything.
But since 2004, Jacobs has sent the Bishops his family Christmas card.
Bishop has kept every one, of course, in her dining room.

Excitement filled the air at the Kent Theatre last Wednesday night, September 21, when kindergarteners and their families gathered to see who would be this year's Red Flannel Prince and Princess. "It is our biggest turn-out yet", said Angie Slagter, chairperson. "I was excited to see more of our youth participating than in years past, it made for a very entertaining evening."
The prince and princess are chosen through a random drawing of ticket entries.
Prince Diego Caballero, son of Schalese and Alvin Caballero, stood tall while being crowned and Princess Penelope Belk, daughter of Krystle and David Belk, looked gorgeous as she was crowned. It was a magical night for these two and they have made their debut at the Queen's pageant and will be in the Grand Parade on Saturday, and are hoping all other contestants will join them.
