A winter weather alert is underway for a storm that could dump up to a foot of snow in the Chicago area by Thursday.
Snow began falling Tuesday afternoon and it will continue much of Wednesday and possibly Thursday near the lake.
"The first wave of precipitation is going to be a long duration event," said Eyewitness News meteorologist Mike Caplan.
A winter weather advisory went into effect at 3:28 p.m. Tuesday and has been extended through 6 p.m. Wednesday for Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, and McHenry counties, as well as areas around Rockford and DeKalb. A lake effect snow watch will be in effect late Wednesday night through Thursday afternoon for Cook and Lake Counties in Illinois, and Lake County in Indiana.
Chicago area bracing to dig out of snow
It's a picturesque end to 2013. A beautiful sight, unless you're behind the wheel.
"It's horrible," said driver John Dernas. "But I guess it's Chicago weather. Typical."
Tuesday night, the inbound Kennedy was a parking lot.
William Cooley, on his way to a party, had to pull over when he ran out of washer fluid.
"It's not too pleasant out here tonight," he said. "It's very bad. I could have picked a better night."
By late afternoon lanes were hard to make out on the Edens Expressway.
Getting to the Bulls game at the United Center was an ordeal.
It was hard enough driving a regular-sized car, but Mike Armagan was preparing to drive this 30-foot-long party bus all night with music blaring and people dancing.
"They're jumping," he said. "They're having fun. The bus is bouncing."
The snow couldn't keep one man off his bike in Niles, where plows were clearing Milwaukee Avenue.
In Rosemont, the Village Ice Rink needed more than a Zamboni. Shovels and brooms pressed into service.
"We want to make sure that no one's shoes even get wet," said village spokesperson Nick Harkin. "So we have people shoveling and salting continuously all night long."
Tuesday night, some got a head start on the heavy lifting, but for others it was all a perfect end to 2013.
"Not too bad because we've got a couple jackets with us. It's great. It's comfortable," said Pablo Aburto.
The Illinois Department of Transportation says it is prepared to handle it. Salt trucks are being loaded up and have been on the road since 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. A total of 375 trucks have been deployed in six counties in northeastern Illinois.
"This storm will take every one of our snow plow drivers," said IDOT's Carmen Iacullo. "We do have extra trucks because trucks will breakdown during the long drawn out event and we'll be able to replace most of the trucks as they go down."
Snow not putting damper on New Year's celebrations
A snowy New Year's Eve in Chicago is not stopping people from going out. In Evanston, after a seven-year hiatus, First Night is back. A family friendly celebration of the arts, First Night is centered around Raymond Park. Tuesday evening folks made their way between six separate venues.
"I promised everybody 60 and sunny, that didn't happen," said Thom Duncan. But this is beautiful weather. As far as I'm concerned, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. It's part of the flavor of the evening."
But of course, for many New Year's Eve is all about the big ticket parties. And nobody does luxury like Trump Tower. With nearly sold out events at both Sixteen and Rebar there was just one table left, at a price.
"For $1,595 we can take one more group of ten this evening and that comes with four bottles of luminous rose," said Chris Roberts, Trump International Hotel and Tower.
For one group in Chicago for one night only on their way home to Paris, Trump was the place to be.
"It's the name," said Jessie Chapman. "It's our first time here and the epitome of luxury and fun and a great way to bring in the New Year."
And then, there is Navy Pier. Twenty-eight-hundred people bought tickets for the Pier's Grand Ballroom celebration. Twenty different bars are set up for the resolution gala and come midnight, it is these party goers who will have the best vantage point for the fireworks spectacular.
Several people were spotted Tuesday morning stocking up on groceries, snacks and booze at Jewel in the South Loop. Some were getting ready for a New Year's Eve at home or close to home.
One shopper told Eyewitness News she's getting all of her items for a big New Year's Day dinner, and she's still going out for New Year's Eve, in the snow.
"I'll be out. A little snow never bothered anybody. (And what are you going to do?) I think I'm going to go to a party with my cousins," said Katrina Rodgers, shopper.
The city has 200 salt trucks and snowplows on standby. Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation says many of those drivers are sleeping right now in preparation to be out and about all night long.
It's also going to be an extremely busy night for car services and cab drivers. They're ready to cash in and drive through the potentially wicked weather.
"I already started working but it's going to start to get busy after 6 p.m. (And then you'll keep going through the night?) Yeah, I'm going to keep going until the morning. I'll take a break and go back to work again," said Girma Hamie, cab driver.
Navy Pier will be bustling on New Year's Eve. Among the offerings is Winter Wonderfest, lakefront dinner cruises with views of the skyline, a midnight fireworks show and two large ballroom parties.
"It's going to be, from what the weather is saying, it's going to be messy out there. So we want to make sure you have enough time, and you take public transportation to our wonderful event tomorrow evening," said Dustin Mantell, Chicago Resolution Gala Organizer.
Though the wintry blast won't be nearly as bad as the New Year's blizzard of 1999-- when a whopping 22 inches of snow fell-- it is expected to arrive as many are traveling to their New Year's Eve destinations. The snow is an added concern on an already-busy day on the roads.
"However you choose to get from point A to point B, the only thing that matters is not to drink and drive," said Supt. Garry McCarthy, Chicago Police Dept.
To encourage the use of public transportation, the CTA will be offering its traditional penny rides from ten at night until four in the morning.
With the snow, it could be even harder to get a taxi.
"We'll have a few hundred SUVs on the road tomorrow at least, and those drivers know they're going to be in high demand," said Andrew McDonald, Uber.
Emergency rooms are also ready as the severity of slip-and-fall injuries are often not apparent until after sobering up.
"The alcohol can play a role. You lose your balance easier. Some people don't think it hurts as bad, so we do expect to see not only New Year's Eve injuries but New Year's Day follow up," said Lee Hinsberger, Northwestern Immediate Care.
Doctors say they also see a lot of frostbite cases on New Year's Eve with alcohol making people feel warmer than they actually are, and the lack of cabs forcing people to walk.
Bitter cold continues into new year
Wind chills as low as minus-10 are possible Tuesday night as the snow starts to fall.
New Year's Day will see highs in the lower 20s and lows between 16-20 degrees, with a 60 percent chance of precipitation, the National Weather Service said.
Though Tuesday's storm will be a fairly "run-of-the-mill" snowstorm by Chicago standards, drivers should double-check that they have emergency supplies in their vehicles.
Motorists should make sure gas tanks are full, and stock vehicles with a flashlight, gloves, other warm clothes, shovel and a candle for warmth.

As the leaves turn bright orange and the cold weather returns, it feels great to curl up with a good book. Why not transport yourself back to Italy during World War II with James McBride's Miracle at St. Anna? Join us for a book discussion this coming Sunday. Also, the MCPL Friends of the Library will be hosting "An Evening with James McBride" on November 12th. If you can come to both events, that would be great. If not, we hope to see you at our Books Plus talk.
McBride, who also wrote the best-selling memoir The Color of Water about growing up in a mixed-race family, is also a jazz musician. Miracle of St. Anna tells the story of a soldier in the 92nd all-black Buffalo Division during World War II. Four of these GIs take care of a traumatized Italian boy. The book examines issues of race, war, and evil as well as the nature of love and caring.
For more details of this and future programs, please see below.
Books Plus meets the first Sunday of each month. All are welcome. Join the discussion or simply come to listen.

The Walrus Says
By Jim Munro While most of us were seeking shade, cold drinks and air-conditioning during the heat and humidity last week, Jamestowner Ed Silvia was spending the dog days with "Underdog." On July 12 through 17, Ed was in Providence working 12and 13-hour days as a background artist in Walt Disney's "Underdog," which began its five-month shoot back in March. Along with some 300 other background artists, he "sucked it in, roughed it out and did the best I could." Playing the part of a spectator in a crowd gathered at the state capital, Ed was dressed in a gray suit with a long-sleeved shirt buttoned way up to the collar and a bow tie "a little on the tight side," he said. "All this ensured I was at all times wringing wet and totally miserable. To add gasoline to the fire, a beard I'm growing for a movie set to begin shooting next year wasn't providing any relief whatsoever." Was it worth all the heat and suffering? "Yes, Ed said, "I sucessfully completed the five days I had pledged to work for LDI casting. Making good on a promise and honoring my word was deeply satisfying to me. Second, I received my fair share of on-camera time, including a few close ups. Thirdly, and most unbelievably was the fact that the assistant director as well as a crew member made it a point to tell me they really liked my reaction shots and considered me a good actor. Hearing those words totally blew me away. "I feel very differently now about everything. Just being referred to as an actor is always going to be a very, very big deal for me." Living next door to an actor is a big deal for us, too. Even though he wouldn't let us in on the "Underdog" plot. *** Bob Umbenhauer was host to two childhood friends at his house last week. He said Charlie Mullin arrived Tuesday from Harrisburg, Pa., and on Wednesday, Joe Stichter and his wife Sharon came in from Cambridge, Mass. "Charlie, Joe, and I grew up in the same neighborhood in Pottsville, Pa., and went from grade school to middle school to high shool to college at Penn State together. We were in Boy Scouts and band together. So, what did you guys do while they were here? "Tuesday we quahogged, and, of course, for lunch, we ate them. Went to the Oakhill Tavern Tuesday night for baby-back ribs. Wednesday we toured the island and went to Giro's for twin lobsters in the evening. The rest of the time we spent catching up on a lot of years. We had not been together since 1963!
"It was quite a wonderful reunion."
Must have been some great stories exchanged.
Josh, our 9-year-old Vallhund, always feels better after he has his nails clipped, but it takes Dr. Hatch and an assistant to hold him down while it's being done. As the good doctor says this week, we'd better start spending more time with his feet.
"One of the most common questions we get is 'can you cut my pet's nails?' Many pets are not used to pedicures and owners may be afraid of trimming the nails too short and hitting the quick or vascular part of the nail.
"Many animal clinics and groomers will trim your pet's nails, but you can make the process easier and may even be able to do it yourself with a little patience and learning. Start at home by getting your animal used to having it's feet touched. Many pets only have their feet touched when they are getting a pedicure or if they injure their feet, so they may be protective of them. If you start to regularly play with their feet and reward them with treats, playtime, and praise when you do, then they will get accustomed to it, just like getting their head rubbed or chin scratched.
"Next time you are getting your pet's nails trimmed ask for a demonstration from the staff, and next week, we'll go into more detail with part two of the nail saga." Thanks, Doctor. WOOF!
Wonderful seeing Laura Brown Sunday morning. She looks great. When you see her, give her a big hug.
Barbara-Ann MacIntosh has it right.
"Moonlight and roses bring wonderful memories of you,
My heart reposes in beautiful thought so true!
That's a nice old tune," she wrote.
Rose Fraley called in with the right line and said, "It popped right out of my head."
And, Bob Kinder e-mailed, "Moonlight and roses bring wonderful memories of you. My heart reposes and so on. Made popular, I believe by Lanny Ross."
We thought it was someone's theme song, but perhaps not. Perhaps it's just a beautiful love song.
With just a few deft strokes of the pen, cartoonist Don Bousquet has solved the island's deer problem. See how on the front page of Sunday's ProJo comics section.
It's like getting a "Dear John" letter, but a bit more serious. After all those years of togetherness, dependability, and always being just a phone call away, comes that dreaded phrase . . . "I'm going to leave you."
The correspondence came in the mail, a form letter with three grammatical errors - Quincy never was good at writing.
It was sent by our island agent of more than 20 years who wrote, "Your insurance company has decided to no longer provide continued coverage for your home as of the renewal date." We had switched to this company a couple of years ago at the urging of our agent. Now he tells us in the letter that he will attempt to find us another company from within his inventory. But first, we must fill out a questionnaire and "immediately complete and return this to our office."
You can imagine the reaction of two older people when we got the letter. No warning, just some cold paper.
Later, we were told by another island insurance representative that ours was not the only company cancelling policies. In our case the company cancelled all of the homes it has with our zip code regardless of how far from the coast. Some homes within a mile of water cannot get insurance from some other companies.
We understand that the cancellations were precipitated by billions in insurance costs rung up during Katrina, millions of lines of copy by the northeastern media this summer preparing everyone for the "big one," and the forecasts of the weather bureau's computer generated hurricanes.
Whatever "new" insurance you are offered, you can bet it'll cost you plenty, four to five times what you're paying now.
What can you do about it?
Try calling the Insurance Division of Rhode Island Business Regulations at 2222223, and ask if it can recommend an insurance company and tell them why. In the past, the division has said it hasn't reacted to the cancellations because it hasn't had any complaints.
Send a few their way. Let us know what happens.

The Loftus Road side are currently seven points adrift of safety at the foot of the table, with the first game up a home fixture to league leaders Manchester United, but Redknapp still believes it is possible to avoid relegation.
"We need to close the gap," Redknapp told reporters.
"We need 20 points at least. Whether that would be enough I don't know but we have to try for that.
"Of course I feel we can do it. If I stop believing everyone does. I still think it is possible with 12 games to go and lots of points to play for, six points can turn everything around so quickly."
|QPR are 7/2 not to be relegated with bet365
He continued: "We have a pretty fit squad. Remy has trained the last couple of days and looks OK.
"We will have to see how he is and whether he can play. He trained yesterday. It is difficult with groins. We don't want to risk him.
"Bobby might need an operation at the end of the year but the aim is to keep him going for the next 12 games.
"We are hoping we can get more than half a game from him but we will see how we go."
On Saturday's opponents, Redknapp admits he would be "very surprised" if Manchester United didn't go on to win the Premier League this season with the quality they boast in their squad.
He added: "I'd be very surprised if they don't win the league from where they are.
"They have kept winning and other teams have had bad runs. They have been the only team playing with consistency so it has left them in a great position.
"[Wayne] Rooney is a top player. But they are full of top players that is why they are so far clear.
"They don't take their eye off the ball too often. They are looking to win the league and they will worry about Real Madrid 10 days after us.
"It is a big game. We had been on a good run. Last week was the first setback after five games unbeaten."

With crease-clearing Nicklas Grossman acquired from Dallas on Thursday, the Flyers' defense got some much needed physicality, and opened the possibility they could trade puck-moving defenseman Matt Carle, a potential free agent after the season.
Will the Flyers move Carle? Will they make a play for Columbus' Rick Nash?
Doubtful on both counts.
Nash is available, and Columbus had a scout and an executive at the Wells Fargo Center Thursday, watching the Flyers' 7-2 win over Buffalo.
A source, however, said the Flyers and Jackets have not had any conversations about Nash, who has a whopping $7.8 million cap hit.
If they do, the Flyers should say "no thanks." Columbus would probably want draft picks, Sergei Bobrovsky and two of the Flyers' three prized rookies (Matt Read, Sean Couturier, Brayden Schenn). Those rookies are the franchise's future cornerstones.
From here, I do not sense the Flyers making a blockbuster deal.
Then again, not many of us saw the Mike Richards trade coming.
* * *
Grossman, who appears much thicker than Chris Pronger, practiced with the team Friday in Voorhees.
To make room for Grossman on the roster, Erik Gustafsson will be sent to the Phantoms.
Gustafsson scored his first career goal on Thursday.
* * *
After Friday's practice, James van Riemsdyk didn't rule out the possibility of returning for Saturday's game against the visiting Penguins.
Van Riemsdyk, sidelined since Jan. 12 with a concussion, has missed 15 games. The Flyers are just 6-6-3 in his absence.
The 22-year-old left winger said how he feels when he wakes up Saturday morning will probably determine if he plays.
* * *
Winger Tom Sestito will have surgery to repair a torn groin, the Flyers announced.
Sestito was injured in a fight during Thursday's game against Buffalo. He will have surgery Tuesday and will be sidelined for six to eight weeks.
* * *
Jaromir Jagr and Andrej Meszaros returned to practice Friday after missing Thursday's game. Both are expected to play Saturday. Danny Briere wore a non-contact jersey in practice.
Briere and Tom Sestito left Thursday's games with injuries. Wayne Simmonds (battered lip) did not practice Friday.
Despite being shorthanded because of injuries and illnesses Thursday, the Flyers overcame a 2-0 decfit and trounced Buffalo by scoring seven straight goals.
"A character win," said center Max Talbot, who scored a pair of goals.
No one showed more character than Wayne Simmonds. In the pregame warmup, Scott Hartnell's shot hit iron and then struck Simmonds in the mouth. Two teeth were moved around and he needed 25 stitches to close his upper and lower lip.
Then he went out and scored two gritty goals on power-play rebounds.
"He' a warrior," goalie Ilya Bryzgalov said.
Sounds about right.
* * *
When the Flyers host Pittsburgh in a Saturday matinee, it will match the NHL's top two scorers: Evgeni Malkin (69 points) and Claude Giroux (67), who climbed back into the race with a career-high five assists Thursday.
The Flyers and Pens are battling for the fourth spot in the East.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition that causes the cartilage between the bones in your joints to break down. This makes the bones rub against each other. It is one of the most common types of arthritis. It can be painful and result in a loss of join movement.
OA has no cure. Treatments are designed to maintain movement and to limit pain.
There are several different treatments options, including medications. Your doctor may recommend one or several different medications depending on the severity of your case. Your doctor will probably start with over-the-counter (OTC) medications before giving you prescriptions for stronger drugs.
There are several types of OTC options to relieve minor aches, pain, and swelling associated with osteoarthritis.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is an over-the-counter pain medicine (analgesic). It reduces pain, but not inflammation. It's important that you don't exceed the recommended dosage of acetaminophen or take the drug if you're consuming large amounts of alcohol. Acetaminophen can severely damage your liver if used incorrectly. Often, prescription pain medications contain some acetaminophen, so it's important to tell your doctor about all of the medications that you're taking.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be effective against aches and pains associated with OA. NSAIDs do have potential risks for gastrointestinal bleeding and upset stomach, especially if taken over a long period of time. People under the age of 20 should avoid aspirin, to lower their risk of Reye's syndrome. Examples of NSAIDs include:
- aspirin (Bayer)
- ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin)
- naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn)
There are a variety of creams and gels available that can help to relieve osteoarthritis pain. These may contain active ingredients such as menthol (Bengay, Stopain) or capsaicin (Capzasin, Zostrix), which is made from hot peppers. When you apply these ointments to aching joints, they can provide relief by scrambling the transmission of pain signals from the joint.
If the symptoms of OA progress in severity and start to impact your quality of life, your doctor might prescribe something stronger to manage the pain.
Cortisone shots
These injections may help relieve pain and inflammation in arthritic joints. The medication in cortisone shots varies, but typically consists of a corticosteroid medication to reduce inflammation and pain, and a local anesthetic to reduce pain immediately.
These shots can be given right in a doctor's office. Since there is concern that injections could increase the rate at which cartilage breaks down, many doctors limit the frequency of the shots per year.
Prescription NSAIDs
Prescription NSAIDs do the same thing that over-the-counter ones do, just in stronger doses. Some of these drugs may have lower risks of gastrointestinal issues, but as with all NSAIDs, there is a risk of heart disease. Some NSAIDs are also available in creams or gels that can be applied topically. This class of drugs includes:
- celecoxib (Celebrex)
- piroxicam (Feldene),
- prescription-strength ibuprofen and naproxen
- diclofenac (Voltaren)
Tramadol (Ultram) is a prescription analgesic. For some people, it may cause fewer side effects than NSAIDs. For others, however, tramadol can cause other problems, including nausea and constipation. Tramadol is often used in conjunction with other analgesics to provide stronger pain relief.
Stronger painkillers may be prescribed for osteoarthritis patients suffering from severe pain. These include:
- codeine
- meperidine (Demerol)
- morphine
- oxycodone (Oxycontin)
- propoxyphene (Darvon)
Side effects of these drugs may include nausea, constipation, and sleepiness. There is also a risk of developing a dependence on these drugs.
Hyaluronic acid
For patients who fail to improve their OA pain with lifestyle changes or medications, injections of hyaluronic acid may be an option. There are a few side effects with these injections.

Never had and never will.
I follow the school of thought that suggest there is a unique type of anything for different scenarios. Be it a smile, perfume, tone of voice or car.
Thread: signature scent
what is yours???
Wearing scent is my signature.
I've trademarked the color bleu
The days of having a signature scent are well in the past. I don't think many people have one.
"You smell like sunshine and happiness."
Cabochard by Gres
Although I wear a different scent every day, this is on I will always have. It's one of my first loves and smells fantastic on me. I'll never be without it!! I realize this is not what you would typically consider a "signature scent" however it's as close to one as I'll ever have.
Every time I slip into the ocean, it's like going home. ~ Sylvia Earle
No single scent can reflect or represent or compliment or whatever my personality... Jicky, Sous le Vent and Tabac Blond currently feel very much like me, although a year ago I would have said 'Tabac Blond' only.
I like to have my cake and eat it too. I consider Habit Rouge my signature scent, but I wear many others often.
HR is the one I always come back to, the one I wear for most important occasions, the one I always have at hand - the one that I feel the most comfortable in.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
It used to be T. Mugler Angel, now it's Agent Provocateur.
No, I am not black, yes, I am African.
every bottle I own is my signature.
While I'm just starting and don't have one yet, I look at this question a couple of ways: 1) I agree with the people saying they have different scents for different events, seasons, etc instead of ONE single scent. That's what I'm looking to do as well. 2) I view a "signature" scent being one that can be worn year-round, day or night. It's your "go-to" scent. The one that never leaves your shelf. The one you would want to be wearing when you're buried.....and I would be shocked if most (if not all) of you fragrance veterans don't have a scent like that. 3) I also know from reading, that as we get older and more scent-seasoned, our preferences naturally change...meaning our "signature" scent is forever changing.
So can we maybe alter the question (because I think it's a fun topic) and say this: What's your current "go-to" scent?
"We don't fail because we aim too high and miss, but because we aim too low and hit" - Les Brown
"When you're all alone, when no one is watching, and there's no one around to impress, that is who you are" - Greg Laurie
If you can call a scent you only wear once a week a signature scent, then it would be Millesime Imperial by Creed. If I had to choose to wear only one for the rest of my life it would be that one at this point.
None, and, at the same time, more than just one signature scents.
Pretty much, far closer to a "signature rotation", coinciding almost entirely with both the "owned" and the "tested" section in my fragrance wardrobe.
Don't have any.
hard to say because my tastes are constantly changing.
I don't have one either, and enjoy wearing different scents based on different moods, seasons, and occasions. But if I had to choose based on a scent being versatile enough to be worn year round in both casual and dressy situations, I would probably go with Bond No 9's Chez Bond or Versace Pour Homme from my wardrobe. To me, these are "no brainers", that u can grab at any time without thought and feel appropriate.
Sometimes I pick a signature scent, but it never lasts for more than a few days. I'm fickle.
I just could not get rid of every fragrance I have to just have that ONE signature scent.
I like to wear fragrances according to my mood on any particular day. It would be difficult to say that I have one signature scent. But, If I had to pick one, that fragrance would most likely be Creed's Avenutus. But don't get me wrong, I adore wearing different scents.
Instead of a signature I have a rotation or go by my mood but if i had to say it would be hugo by hugo boss
For awhile it was Lacoste Pour Homme. It's just too hard to stick with one scent...it get's boring.
I have too many to have a signature scent, but I do have my favorites (below)...
Current Summer Favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Tom Ford - Rive dAmbre
3. Dior - Homme Cologne 2013
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Armani - Code Sport Athlete
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Ermenegildo Zegna - Sicilian Mandarin
10. Creed - Pure White Cologne
If I had to pick one it would be one of hte following in order of likelihood:
Burqa Eau Fine
Yellow Sea
Memoir Man
***For sale:
Iris Pallida 50ml
Ungaro I 75ml
and more! - http://www.basenotes.net/threads/301...n-Man-and-more
Few years ago Very Irresistible Givenchy, now Chanel Allure edp.
Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?
I've never really had one and very likely never will. I like variety far too much when it comes to fragrances. i will say, though, if I were forced to whittle down my collection to bare bones, Creed Green Irish Tweed would definitely be one I'd hold onto.

For pool owners and swimmers who prefer not to use chlorine to sanitize their pool, bromine provides an ideal alternative. America's Strongest Bromine is a very powerful form of swimming pool bromine that will keep your pool sparkling clean while providing you with a variety of additional benefits.
Guardex®, Bioguard®, Aquabrome®, Polysheen®, BurnOut®, Burnout 35®, Softswim®, Pool Magnet®, Chlorite®, Algae All 60 and MSA Algaecide are registered trademarks of BioLab, Inc. Pace® is a registered trademark of Arch Chemicals. In The Swim® is not affiliated with them and does not carry their products. The use of Sun®, Guardex®, Bioguard®, Pace®, and Leslies and their logos is for comparison purposes only.
Technical Specifications:
– If bromine seems ineffective make sure the dispensing source of the bromine is getting proper water flow to dissolve the bromine. For example making sure water level is correct in the pool, making sure the floater has proper ventilation, and that the automatic feeders dial is set correctly. If bromine still seems to be ineffective check the stabilizer also known as cyanuric acid. The correct level for stabilizer is 30-60 ppm. If the stabilizer is to low the bromine will be used up faster making it appear that the bromine is not effective. If the stabilizer level is high it can mask the bromine causing the bromine unable to sanitize properly.
– If you believe the bromine is defective/ineffective, you can add granular bromine or bromine boost. This in conjunction with good flow over the bromine tabs will boost up the bromine residual. This will usually help to get a bromine reading faster on a newly started bromine water source.
– When using bromine it is recommended that you shock weekly. Reason: Bromine combines with contaminants which become bromamines. As bromamine levels increase in the pool, the bromine that is fed into the pool becomes less effective. Weekly shocking of a bromine pool will eradicate the bromamines so the sanitizing process can continue. If you don't shock, the contaminants continue to build up and the pool will not be properly sanitized.

Back from ousting Malcolm at the last Tribal Council, Reynold and Eddie know their days are most likely numbered, but they're going to play as hard as they can. I think Reynold is better at challenges than Eddie, so I think he will last longer (of course, now that I've said that, he's going home tonight.)
Cochran isn't content with being a part of the majority alliance. He wants to make a move that will solidify his power in the game. I think he should stay put for a little while longer.
Treemail comes, and we're straight into the Immunity Challenge, by the looks of the clue. Really? We're not even at the credits yet. But yes, right after the credits, we go straight into the Immunity Challenge. Let's see how Cochran, the best guy at challenges ever, according to him, does without an advantage.
This week's challenge is a balance challenge in the water, where the Survivors have to stand on a pyramid-shaped thingy. But wait? Now Jeff says that it's a reward challenge? For information? Then why did he already take back the Immunity necklace?
Oh, it's the temptation challenge! As everybody stands on their pyramids, Jeff starts tempting them with food, starting with donuts and cold milk. Eddie, for some reason, decides that he doesn't really need whatever they're giving away at this challenge (Immunity? Reward?) and takes it with Erik.
Cochran is the next one out, for some soda and hotdogs. During the challenge, they've been continuously moving up the pyramid, and now they're standing on a teeny little board up at the top. Dawn and Sherry are out quickly. Reynold has some close calls, but manages to hang on. But he can't hold up against Brenda and Andrea, and he's out. It's a little in poor taste that some of the Favorites are visibly pleased that he's out. Andrea and Brenda decide they'd rather see who wins rather than one of them give up, and they last three hours. After deciding to go to standing on one leg, Brenda falls and Andrea wins apparently Immunity and information.
So if we've already had the Reward and Immunity Challenge, and we're only 16 minutes into the episode, what the heck are we doing for the rest of this week's show?
Reynold is really, seriously hoping that someone decides to make a move. He knows he doesn't have any power right now, but hopes someone will need his vote so he'll get to stay another week.
Andrea doesn't really want to share her note with Brenda, since she might be a threat. So she shares it with her whole alliance. They go to look for the Immunity Idol together, and although Erik finds it, he immediately gives it to Andrea. What? I wouldn't have done that.
Brenda has apparently painted a big 'ole target on her back by being good at challenges, and Andrea is talking to Cochran about getting rid of her. She then talks to Dawn about it, and while Dawn's not exactly against it, she would rather see Reynold gone first because he stresses her out.
Tribal Council time!
Already? Is it a double elimination episode? Jeff tries to stir up trouble between Brenda and Andrea, but that ship has already sailed. Andrea may have also painted a target on her back by fully admitting that she could completely turn on her alliance, but yay! she's not going home tonight (paraphrasing). Don't know why that might upset the rest of them.
Voting time!
We see Brenda vote for Reynold, but that's it. And voting is all over the place, with votes for Erik, Sherry, Reynold, and Eddie. But it's Reynold who's going home tonight. He was the biggest threat without an alliance, and his time was up. He thinks he put his trust in people and that it wasn't reciprocated, but I don't think he realizes that the first impression he gives of is that of an untrustworthy sleazebag. He's grown on me that last few episodes, and I don't have that impression anymore, but I certainly did at the start.
Onto more shenanigans! That night after Tribal, Cochran and Andrea are thinking about making a move before someone else does. She still wants to get rid of Brenda, and then Dawn. Bad move, Andrea, because Cochran's closest ally is Dawn. So he goes to the aforementioned ladies, and they agree that it might be time to get rid of Andrea. Betcha they're really regretting Erik giving her that Immunity Idol now.
And it's Immunity Challenge time! (Again.)
This time they have to push a buoy through a rope/bamboo obstacle, unlock a key and assemble a ladder. I wonder if the puzzle people just draw random things out of a hat to come up with these types of challenges.
Everyone is neck and neck when they get to the locks, except Sherry who has fallen behind. Erik and Brenda pull ahead during the ladder/puzzle, and Erik seriously pulls ahead and beats all of them by a mile.
After the Immunity Challenge, Andrea is still whispering about Brenda going home. She is so obnoxious about this, I hope she goes home tonight. She even tells Eddie that it's going to be Brenda. He's a little more skeptical than her. Andrea keeps talking to Cochran about them taking Eddie to the final three. Cochran is not enthused about this plan, and he realizes that he probably needs to get rid of Andrea.
As Dawn, Brenda, Sherry and Cochran talk about getting rid of Andrea, Brenda hopes that this is the real vote, and that it's not her they are planning to blindside. Andrea talks to Erik, and he's convinced that she'll take him to the end; Erik went home last time because he was too trusting, let's hope that doesn't happen this time.
Tribal Council time! Jeff starts talking about big moves right away, and everybody looks uncomfortable. They all agree that everyone is lying through their teeth, so we'll have to see how the vote turns out. We see Andrea voting for Brenda, and Brenda voting for Andrea, which we knew was going to happen anyway.
Given Dawn's look of panic when Jeff asks about Immunity Idols (which Andrea doesn't play), I think Andrea's going home. As the second vote for Andrea is announced, she yells "What!" And, yup, she's going home. Reynold and Malcolm (in the jury) are positively gleeful, Brenda and Cochran look very pleased with themselves, and Dawn just looks stressed.
Next week: Cochran may be targeted, and Erik seems to be losing it. Also: Visits from family.
Credits: Andrea realizes that when you're really comfortable, and secure in the game, you're probably going home.

'Doctor Who' preview: Super Cybermen in 'Nightmare in Silver'
Busy with other projects, author Neil Gaiman didn't think he had the time to write another "Doctor Who" episode after his award-winning "The Doctor's Wife." Then show runner Steven Moffat told him he could make the armor-plated, steampunk Cybermen scary again. The result is "Nightmare in Silver," airing at 7 p.m. CT May 11 on BBC America. The Doctor's old foes have learned some new tricks. (Chess! Speed!) They're threatening the universe again--beginning with Hedgewick¿s World of Wonders, an now dilapidated amusement park where The Doctor takes Clara and her young charges, Artie and Angie. The daytrippers are having a good time with resident showman Webley and his chess-playing pal, Porridge. They also encounter a dysfunctional army platoon and, well, the "upgraded" Cybermen. Stephen Woolfenden directed the episode. Check out the photos and a trailer in the gallery. By Curt Wagner, RedEye's Show Patrol Want more?

Gerard Butler: Lakers Game Spectator!
Gerard Butler flashes a smile while seating court-side at a Lakers basketball game at Staples Center on Sunday (December 2) in Los Angeles.
The 43-year-old actor watched the Los Angles Lakers lose to the Orlando Magic by a score of 113-103.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Gerard Butler
The day before, Gerard was spotted posing with David Beckham after his Galaxy team won the MLS Cup.
Gerard recently chatted about his character in his new film Playing for Keeps.
"He's a fish out of water. He's lost his way, but he starts to realize you don't get many second chances to appreciate a wife, family and fatherhood, so he's really trying to grow up," Gerard shared. "He's really an observer to what's going on around him. A lot of the scenes I have with Dennis and Uma, I'm just listening and reacting."

The Walrus Says
This is it!! Tomorrow night at about 9:15 the first rocket will go skyward and light up Mackerel Cove as its sound waves reverberate off the cliffs to commemorate the 231st year of our country's independence.
We're still below our money goal but during the past week many have come forward to donate and the gap is closing. Our deepest appreciation to all.
For the procrastinators there's still plenty of time. Pick a check to be blown up, make it out to the Fireworks Fund for $1,000, and send it to Box 1776, Jamestown, or drop it off at the Jamestown Press office.
You can also give it to the Rocket Dawgz collecting donations at the beach tomorrow night.
Coming through last week were the many pedestrians at East Ferry who stopped by to chat with head Dawg B.J. Whitehouse and leave a donation with him.
Also, Frederick Glomb and Christine Ferguson of Bay View Drive; Jan and John Grant, Whittier Road; Tom and Terry Tiernan, Buoy Street; Paula and Bob Florentino, Conanicus Avenue; William Ewing and Anne Constant, Racquet Road; Jean Lilly of Seaside Drive who asked us to "Blow one up for Dan!," John and Karen Benson, High Street; Newport County Convention and Visitor's Bureau; Jack Albaugh, Xtra Mart; and House of Pizza, Narragansett Avenue.
And, Cheryl Page and Joe Tiexiera, Brook Street, who wrote, "You have given us years of joy on the 4th of July - we will miss you - a big THANKS;" Richard and Elizabeth Beretta of East Shore Road; Bernice Greene, Whittier Road, "Thank you;" Andrew and Margaret Holmes of Holmested Court; Judy Garlick, Mt. Hope Avenue, who commented, "Here's to another spectacular show - KABOOM;" Dorothy Norton, Howland Avenue; and J. Robert and Marie Greco, Seaside Drive, who wrote, "Looking forward to another great time."
Plus, Trattoria Simpatico; Walter and Pearl Turgeon of Beavertail Road, "The last blow up;" Frank and Jillian Meyer, Southwest Avenue who wrote, "Use this as a tribute to the Dawgz for all your years of making July 4th special. Thanks a bunch;" Jean and Robert Lambert of Maple Avenue, "We can't wait to see the fireworks reflected over Sheffield Cove -please blow this up;" Island Rubbish, Swinburne Street, "Thank you for the many years of great fireworks!;" Deb and Dennis Owens, Felucca Street, "Thanks for the memories. Sorry to see it end;" L. Leigh Gribble (USN-Ret.) Newport, "Thanks for all of your hard work through the years to make Jamestown's Fourth of July an always memorable occasion. You are the spirit of Jamestown;" Baker's Pharmacy; Tim Baker, Walcott Avenue, 'In memory of Nancy Baker. She loved your fireworks! Thanks;" Ellie Chase, Gondola Street; Dennis and Rebecca Gunn, Beacon Avenue; J. Robert and Andrea Dolan, Coronado Street; Sally and Peter Schott, Longfellow Road, "Groups like the Rocket Dawgz are what make Jamestown a great place to live - thanks for all the hard work!;" Judith and John Heelan, Standish Road, "Thanks for celebrating my husband Jack's birthday with your fireworks celebration;" Karan and Charles Osenton, Blueberry Lane,
"Thanks for the memories Every 4th was such a treat Twas really hard to beat How wonderful it was And thank you - So Much!!" KA-BOOM!!
It would seem to be an idyllic life for the Andersens. The winter months in another land and summers in Jamestown.
Ellen (House) Andersen and her husband Mike and their two children, Ryder, 3, and River-Jane, 1, are back at their home on Hamilton Avenue where Ellen grew up.
Mike is 7-feet tall and plays center in the professional basketball Euro League. They spent the past two seasons in Sopot, Poland, where Mike played in the Polish Domestic League.
Ellen, known by her friends as Junior because her mom is also named Ellen, said she enjoyed her time in Poland. The couple has been together for 12 years and married a year ago. Mike played on teams in Naples, Italy, for three years and four years in Athens, Greece. He is from Denmark and the two met at URI.
We were kidding her about some of her pronunciations and she replied that she has her unique Rhode Island drawl mixed in with an international accent.
They will know in August where they will be heading in the fall. Ellen said that Mike is at the end of his career. "At 33 he's the oldest one on his team." After his active years he's looking forward to coaching.
So, what are their plans until they hear about their next destination? "Enjoy life on Jamestown," Junior said.
Joan Breakell e-mailed, "Did you know that with the new bus schedule, Jamestown has effectively been cut off for anyone commuting to Newport via RIPTA? You can get to Newport on the 8:41 a.m. #64 bus but the last bus back leaves Newport at 11:37 a.m.
"My husband, and several other regular riders from the island, depend on the bus to get to work. Only in Rhode Island!"
Sounds like time for the Jamestown Newport Ferry?
The choice of Taylor Point is incomprehensible and further proof of the total absence of common sense.
There are some new faces on this year's Jamestown Youth Litter and Conservation Team.
Returning to the unit this summer are Victoria Ryng, assistant to the supervisor, and Tom Munro. New faces are Ryan Conlon, Dennis Lathan, Morgan Lopes, Rachael Perry, Philip Ryng and Chad Woodward.
Supervisor Bonnie Jamieson said that each of the new crew members will be working two days a week from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. "This new venture of hiring more teens at reduced hours helps employ more kids in a time when it is hard to find jobs for the summer months. The average age of the workers is 15."
The team does a great job each year helping to keep the island clean.
The Jamestown Emergency Medical Services (JEMS) is distributing a packet called File of Life in which islanders can keep their personal health records up to date in one location to be used in the event of an emergency.
JEMS developed the package from a grant presented by the Rhode Island Foundation. The forms ask questions such as emergency contacts, medical data (doctor, preferred hospital, medications, recent surgery), medical conditions, allergies and medical insurance.
Fill out the information in pencil so it can be updated. There are two packets, a large one and a smaller one. The form in the larger holder can be attached to your refrigerator door. JEMS' public relations officer Judith Bell said that if they have to come to your house "we can dash out the door with it and you." The smaller information card should be carried on your person in case of an emergency away from home.
The forms are available at the ambulance barn or call 423-7276 and a member will deliver the package to your house. Members will also assist in filling out the information.
Great idea!!
It's time again for those great lobster rolls and the famous Tiki Punch.
St. Matthew's Episcopal Church will put on its 76th annual Summer Fair Saturday, July 21, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the church grounds.
Highlights include home baked goodies, games for the kids, toys, jewelry, books and amazing white elephant bargains.
Lunch under the famous beech tree will feature burgers, hotdogs, lobster rolls, chowder and coffee, plus soft drinks. A silent auction will have some cool things, including a cruise on the schooner Arabella.
Two upstate senators introduced a bill favoring the insurance companies in the flap over exorbitant fees for house coverage in Newport County.
The illegal redlining will continue. The senators who introduced the legislation are naturally exempt from the policy hikes.
Another example of the lobbyists governing our state.

Jamestown students and school employees, plus their parents, siblings and grandparents, are invited to a special viewing of the Bayside Garden Railroad on Saturday, July 17, from noon to 4 p.m. The rain date is July 18.
School bus monitors Veronika and Monty Neronha, the railroad's engineers, say that all youngsters must be accompanied by an adult.
The Bayside Garden Railroad is located at 98 East Shore Rd. It has over 500 feet of track with five running trains, miniature bridges and 22 buildings. The plantings are all dwarf, Bonsai or miniature shrubs. The ground cover matches the scale of the buildings and bridges.
The railroad has been recognized by New England Cable News TV as one of the outstanding garden railroads in New England. It was also a featured garden in the Quononoquott Garden Club's tour of island gardens. The railroad has been the subject of feature articles in the Providence Journal, the North East Garden Railway News and The Jamestown Press.

Peter Pemantell and Bob Kinder remember Joe Palooka as a cartoon heavyweight boxer in the 1940s or 50s. Peter commented, "I loved that comic strip when I was a kid!"
Both Bob and Peter know that James Cagney portrayed George M. Cohan in "Yankee Doodle Dandy." Cohan was, indeed, born on the Fourth of July. Peter remembered, "When I was a kid, my brother Joe and I would deliver newspapers to the yachts moored at Ft. Getty and James Cagney had his boat there one weekend and we delivered his paper. We were young and did not know she was Cagney's boat until we got back to the dock and Charlie Cabral of Dutch Harbor Shipyard told us."
If you think the beginning of the week is tough now, wait until you try to get your body into the ProJo's new Monday morning Yoga pose of the week.

Seabrook Station's owner looks for 20 more years to operateBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
November 28. 2012 9:14PM
SEABROOK - NextEra Energy focused on economics during Seabrook Station's annual media briefing Wednesday.
As the nuclear power station pursues a 20-year license renewal, it is working to educate the public about not only the clean energy benefits of the station, but of the economic benefits to the region.
About 1,000 workers are employed at Seabrook Station with an annual payroll of about $100 million. Every 18 months an additional 1,000 workers come to Seabrook to assist with planned refueling outages, which spokesman Alan Griffith said injects another $4 million into the regional economy.
The station also pays about $22 million in property taxes annually to Seabrook, Hampton and Hampton Falls.
Seabrook Station has been online since 1990 and provides power to more than 1.4 million homes and businesses when the plant is fully operational.
But nuclear power, particularly in the Northeast, continues to be a divisive issue, Griffith said.
"One of the concerns is how can a plant operate for so long so safely and it's because of the amount of maintenance done regularly," Griffith said.
NextEra has a license to operate until 2030 but has already begun the process of renewing the license for another 20 years. But the issue of Alkali-Silica Reaction, or ASR, found in 12 localized areas of concrete at the plant, has delayed their application. ASR was first discovered by NextEra at the station in 2010.
ASR causes concrete degradation in localized areas and is common in bridges and other transportation infrastructure, but the discovery of ASR at Seabrook marks the first time it has been identified at a nuclear power plant in the United States.
NextEra is currently involved in long-range testing and planning on how to deal with the ASR issue.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has said they will not consider Seabrook Station's license renewal application until they are satisfied with NextEra's plan to deal with ASR.
Griffith said it will take at least another year for a report on the issue to be complete.
The University of Texas is currently conducting structural integrity testing to provide NextEra with a full understanding of the ASR issue.
On Dec. 11, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is holding a public meeting in Hampton to discuss the ASR issue.
The NRC is also holding off on making any final licensing decisions until the national Waste Confidence Decision is decided.
The WCD deals with a central repository for nuclear waste in the nation.
On Dec. 5, Seabrook Station will conduct a test of its emergency siren system within the 10-mile evacuation protection zone. All 121 sirens in 23 communities between Massachusetts and New Hampshire will sound for about three minutes beginning at 12:30 p.m. It is the fourth year in a row Seabrook Station has conducted the test.

Knowing me and my slight obsession with stories set in history, it's no wonder I'm making this post right now. I watched Ever After on TV last night and not only did I realize that it's one of the movies I'll never see myself tire from watching, but I also realized that Prince Henry look positively dashing.
Of course, being a crown prince and all, he had to be positively dashing. And charming. And sinfully good-looking wearing his costume.
Yes, I know that I'm gushing way too much over Dougray's character, Prince Henry, and not enough on Dougray himself. I'm sorry — I can't help it! I've searched up Dougray Scott on Google Images, but all I got was of him with short hair and modern clothes…. well, except for that one with the kilt. I am aware that expecting Dougray to look and dress like what he did on Ever After is kind of irrational, but what can I say? He looked dashing. I dunno if it's the way Prince Henry looked or just the way the film was shot, but honestly: wow.
Here's an excerpt from the movie when the prince proposes to Danielle (Cinderella). It's quite romantic, if I do say so myself.

Banana Date-Nut Bread
Produce that's past its prime usually gets tossed in the trash. But when it comes to bananas that have begun to soften and brown, think twice before tossing them out. My mother's Banana Date-Nut Bread makes wonderful use of past-their-prime bananas. While the addition of chopped nuts is typical in many sweet bread recipes, Mom's addition of chopped dates gives her bread a special texture and flavor.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Cream sugar, vegetable oil and eggs until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add banana and vanilla and mix well.

Boom: Cubs Call Up Starlin Castro
Well, here we go. Today, according to Enrique Rojas, the Chicago Cubs
will call up uber-prospect Starlin Castro. He'll likely take over the
starting shortstop duties in short order, with Ryan Theriot moving
over to second base.
If the Cubs start winning, you can be assured that this will be the
move credited with moving the needle just enough to turn losers into
winners. In reality, if the Cubs start winning it will be because
Aramis Ramirez and Derrek Lee start hitting – but I'm not here to poop
on a good story.

. And being who you are matters a lot. Don't take it personally if you don't fit somewhere, instead find a group of people who will accept you with wide open hands and hearts. Don't be a nerd trying hard to fit in with the cheerleaders. And don't be Penny trying to become a nerd.
Much like it goes for social groups, so it goes for individual relationships.
You're the one choosing your

in life. So choose them wisely. Don't spend time with people who don't support you, believe you and encourage you to become the best version of yourself .
One more source of taking things personally are unrealistic expectations, especially regarding relationships. In life, you must never go against markets or human nature.
There is a saying that relationships are like glass, but

. There is no perfect individual and there is no perfect relationship. People lie, people cheat, they try to control you and manipulate you. Usually they hurt you because they themselves are hurt or afraid.
But it doesn't matter, these are all the things that happen in a relationship. They aren't an exception; they're more of a rule. And strangers aren't the ones doing them. People you like, people you love and work with will do that to you.They aren't an exception; they're more of a rule.
Many times, you act the same way towards others. That's the reality of life that you have to accept if you don't want to take things personally. Like you have to accept your flaws and learn to

There will come a time when people won't agree with you, they will play against you or even throw shit at you. To happily and calmly continue with your day and not drown in misery, you have to learn how to not take things personally.

The representation of space affects the reading of a film. Depth, proximity, size and proportions of the places and objects in a film can be manipulated through camera placement and lenses,
IDIFU Womens Sexy Color Block High Stiletto Heels Peep Toe Slip On Sandals Shoes Black HqsYd5CJ
, ASHVIEE Slide Sandals Cork Footbed Slide Sandals Black Icd4t
, effectively determining mood or relationships between elements in the diegetic world.
An important element of "putting in the scene" is décor, the objects contained in and the setting of a scene. Décor can be used to amplify character emotion or the dominant mood of a film. In these shots from 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1969) the futuristic furniture and reduced color scheme stress the sterility and impersonality of the space station environment. Later, the digital nature of the HAL computer is represented by the repeating patterns and strong geometrical design of the set.
In Senso (Luchino Visconti, Italy, 1954) décor emphasizes the social difference between a wealthy married woman in her richly furnished apartment and her soldier lover in the barren military barracks. Ultimately, she finds the contrast so appalling that she ruins her reputation and financial standing in order to satisfy her lover's desire for a luxurious lifestyle.
Usually used to combine foreground action, often actors in conversation, with a background often shot earlier, on location. Rear projection provides an economical way to set films in exotic or dangerous locations without having to transport expensive stars or endure demanding conditions. In some films, the relationship between scenes shot on location and scenes shot using rear projection becomes a signifying pattern. In other films, it's just cheap . . .
Rear projection is featured extensively in Douglas Sirk's lush melodrama Written On The Wind (1956). Specifically, almost every car ride is shot in this way, a common feature in Classical Hollywood films, due to the physical restrains of shooting in the studio. In addition, by speeding up the rate of the projected images in the background, or quickly changing its angle, rear projection allows for an impression of speed that involves no real danger.
Even if one of the protagonists of Written On The Wind is a fast-driving alcoholic millionaire (and therefore there are multiple instances of careless driving), rear projection is preferred to stunts both for economic and aesthetic reasons. For example, physical spectacle is not as important in a melodrama as it would be in an action film.
The intensity, direction, and quality of lighting have a profound effect on the way an image is perceived. Light affects the way colors are rendered, both in terms of hue and depth, and can focus attention on particular elements of the composition. Much like movement in the cinema, the history of lighting technology is intrinsically linked to the history of film style. Most mainstream films rely on the
Levis Mens Solano Perf UL Fashion Sneaker White/Red BFHr8gL
style, and its genre variations. Other films, for example documentaries and realist cinema, rely on natural light to create a sense of authenticity.

hi everybody,
i have installed scumm and the game files like its posted here in the forum. After runnig scumm, choosing a game, the message "importing database, pleas wait" appears, then the screen is flickering 2 or 3 times and i'm back on the "desktop".
do you have any ideas, what the problem could be?
thanks a lot in advance and forgive me my bad enfglish again
I had the same thing happening on my Palm TX, and it turned out to be me not reading the instructions carefully, and synced a file in the wrong place. If you do as it says on this thread, the most important parts I highlighted in bold:
~Step 1: Hotsync the following files to your device's internal memory Via your Hotsync tool
ScummVM-Frontend.prc (alternately this can be placed on your card in the /PALM/Launcher/ folder)
skin.pdb (this *must* be in the devices internal memory)
After syncing skin.pdb to internal memory, it starts properly with the Palm OS frontend.
~Step 1: Hotsync the following files to your device's internal memory Via your Hotsync tool
ScummVM-Frontend.prc (alternately this can be placed on your card in the /PALM/Launcher/ folder)
skin.pdb (this *must* be in the devices internal memory)
thanks a lot für your support.
I have synced all the needed files again, but my problem still exists.
one thing: i can't find the file Skin.pbd in my handheld. how can i check if its installed correctly?
Could that be problem with the path to the game files?
My english is not good and i'm not sure if i understand the part with the game file path correctly.
i have added the foolowing data:
Entry name: monkey2
path: monkey2/
Engine: Scumm Games
Files on SD Card:
Game File
scumm engine:
is that correct??
If the game is in the PALM/Programs/ScummVM/Games/MI2
you should put MI2 in the "path"
This is what the instructions say, but I'm having exactly the same problem as you. Palm TX and the screen flickers then return to applications.
Please warn me if you find a solution.
I just re-read the first post. When you start ScummVM, do you actually see the blue launcher screen with blue square buttons on the bottom? If yes, then skin.pdb is installed properly. I assume it's working, as you can add games to the list.
One more thing I can think of...
On the ScummVM launcher screen, where you see the list of your games, look in the top right corner of the screen. There must be a memory card icon, click on it. If your games are on the memory card, select your card from the list, and NOT the internal memory (BUILTIN). Click ok and run your game.
I couldn't test it with monkey2, as I don't have it at the moment, if nothing works, try a different game.
ok, skin.pdb is installed, cause i can add games etc.
i have clicked on that memory card icon and i can see the following screen:
tab cards:
BUILTIN (and nothing more, but the mem card is properly inserted to the handheld))
i have marked:
show card access indicator
Enable read/write cache 4kb
Auto detect engines location
tab game list
i have marked:
movew to meory card on exit
confirm replace on start/insert
not marked:
and delete list from device
any further ideas ?
Thanks a lot. Selecting the SD Card did the trick for me.
I had never even noticed that icon up there...
Zavijah, as our problems were alike that´s probably the solution for you too.
I find it strange that you said that the only thing showing is BUILTIN. In mine I also have "Secure Digital Card" in the list, and selecting it (did not change any other options) made it work...
Are you able to access other applications installed on the phone normally? If you have access to a SD card reader try to open the memory card on your PC and see if it works normally..
no, the sd card is not chooseable but it is inserted...
If i'm back at home, i will copy the files onto another SD card, maybe there is a compatability problem..??
It might be a compatibility problem. The Palm TX only supports SD cards up to 2 GB officialy. It happened to me once, that my card had been inserted for weeks, and one day it just didn't recognise it anymore. Try taking the card out and put it back in, you never know.
i have choosen another sd card and now the games are running.... but without sound
Thanks anyway for your suuport, so far.
If you have no sound, there is one more thing you can try.
On the ScummVM launcher screen, click on start without selecting any game. You can deselect the selected game by clicking on it again.
Next, select the engine you want to use, and click ok.
Now you should havethe classic ScummVM frontend, which can autodetect games as well, just as on the PC. Add your game in here, and set your config on the additional tabs. I could get music AND sound working for DOTT. It run a bit slow with all the emulation though, but worth a try.
I'm really looking forward to the 0.12 build for the Palm OS. I hope there are some performance improvements in there.
Yeah!!! all the games (IJ4, MI 1 +2) are all running fine and with sound. Thank you very very much for your help !!!!!
fantastic support!
Greetings Zav
No problem, I'm glad I could help.
I hope this port will get more popular, so we can get some fixes which makes all games run perfectly on my TX in full screen.
If only I could afford the time to help with the development...

President to Sign Historic Food Safety Bill, Reforming FDA
Food Safety Plans & Inspections Will Reduce Recalls & Outbreaks, Says CSPI
WASHINGTON - Legislation that will dramatically upgrade the food safety functions of the Food and Drug Administration will be signed into law tomorrow by President Barack Obama, giving the agency a broad new mandate to prevent food from becoming contaminated. The nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest, a long-time proponent of modernizing FDA's food safety framework, says that implementation of the law will give Americans greater confidence in the safety and security of the food supply and will reduce the number of outbreaks of foodborne illness.
"This is a historic victory for consumers, who can now look forward to a future of safer food," said CSPI food safety director Caroline Smith DeWaal, who has been advocating for FDA reform for more than 10 years "For far too long, the FDA has been in reactive mode, chasing down contaminated food after people are already sick with E. coli, Salmonella, or other dangerous pathogens. Now, by incorporating modern scientific and legal tools, the FDA will put the horse before the cart, requiring food manufacturers and farmers to implement plans aimed at preventing contaminated products. This is the most important food safety advance in 70 years."
In recent years, the bill enjoyed the support of a broad coalition of consumer and industry groups. Besides CSPI, the coalition included the Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union, the Pew Charitable Trusts, and the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, as well as the Grocery Manufacturers Association. Survivors of foodborne illness and relatives of deceased victims also played an important role lobbying for passage of the bill.
"Soon parents should be able to shop without worrying that the spinach, tomatoes, peanut butter, or eggs in their cart are going to cause illness and misery," said CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson. "Once implemented, the law will give consumers greater confidence that the food they purchase comes from farms and facilities that follow good food safety practices, and that FDA inspectors can help verify that companies are adhering to those practices."
Besides requiring companies to develop food safety plans and increasing the frequency of federal inspections, the bill gives the FDA authority to recall potentially contaminated food from the marketplace-a power the agency now lacks. The bill also improves surveillance of outbreaks of foodborne illness and sets higher standards for the safety of imported foods.
"This bill reflects years of work by a number of Members of Congress, especially Representatives John Dingell, Rosa DeLauro, Frank Pallone, and Henry Waxman, and Senators Dick Durbin and Tom Harkin," said DeWaal. "President Obama deserves credit for making food safety an early priority of his Administration. But FDA's job of implementing the bill will require Congressional oversight and new appropriations to ensure that the agency can effectively use the tools it has been given."
Tomorrow's bill-signing caps the most significant legislative year ever for food policy advocates and the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Besides passing the food safety bill, Congress set the stage for eliminating junk food from schools, when it passed landmark child nutrition legislation. And in March, another of CSPI's longstanding legislative priorities became law when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed. Besides providing unprecedented amounts of funding for state and local campaigns to promote healthier diets, the health reform law requires chain restaurants to list calories on menus and menu boards.

Often-neglected sidewalks get priority in some townsBy NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Sunday News Correspondent
February 23. 2013 10:29PM
MILFORD - While every town in New Hampshire works to keep roads clear during storms, some towns carry the extra burden of making sidewalks passable for pedestrians and so invest in the labor and machinery to get the job done.
"We have around 11 miles of sidewalk in Milford," said Rick Riendeau, head of the Milford Department of Public Works. "People will speak out when sidewalks are not maintained in the wintertime, especially sidewalks to the schools. We have to be on top of this. If not, people walk in the road, and that's a safety issue."
To clear snow off the sidewalks in Milford, DPW employees use snow blowers, leaf blowers and, of course, good old-fashion shovels. The town also has two sidewalk tractor plows, which cost about $120,000 each and are designed to accommodate the town's unusual four-foot wide sidewalks, said Riendeau. The standard width for a sidewalk is five feet, he said, and finding machinery that will fit the smaller dimensions is tricky.
"Another issue with our sidewalks is that they are right against the curb and roadway," said Riendeau. "This is difficult to maintain in the winter because there is no room to store snow between the road and sidewalk."
Mountains of snow build up in the Oval during a big storm. It has to be hauled away to the town's snow dump pit when the immediate rush for clearing roads abates.
"Keeping the sidewalks open and clear is a very important part of our winter operations," said Manchester Public Works Director Kevin Sheppard. "The difficult part is that it does not make sense to begin clearing sidewalks until the roads have been completed, for the street plows are pushing the snow into the sidewalk area. Knowing this, it can take us up to a week to open all city sidewalks upon the completion of some storms."
Manchester uses a variety of methods for clearing its sidewalks depending on the depth and type of snow. From snow blowers made specifically for sidewalks to "V" plows, the priority begins with the school walking routes and the downtown areas.
"We budget close to $1.2 million per year for winter operations," said Sheppard. "This number is all inclusive of all operations, which includes sidewalk clearing."
Prioritizing sidewalk clearing is difficult but necessary, said Dean Shankle, town administrator for Hooksett.
"In some areas of town, it is considered a very high priority; less so in other areas," he said.
Shankle estimates that it costs about $300 to clear the town's sidewalks after a storm, or 16 hours in wages for one person using the town's sidewalk plow - an expensive piece of equipment that only has a few year's left in it, Shankle said.
In Amherst, sidewalk maintenance around the village is done with an $80,000 "trackless" machine that's a combination plow-sander-snow blower, said DPW director Bruce Berry. The machine was purchased in 2001, he said, and turned a labor-intensive task done previously with a snow blower into a job that takes about an hour and a half after each storm.
Berry said sidewalk maintenance is important in the village because there are two elementary schools in town, as well as a private kindergarten, Moulton's Market and the public library, but the condition of sidewalks in the village isn't good.
"The biggest challenge I have is sidewalk condition. This time of year, we treat, the sun warms and thaws ice, sand then falls to the bottom of the puddle and it refreezes," said Berry.
The sidewalk condition takes its toll on the trackless machine, said Berry, which is due to be replaced. But operating on a default budget has prevented the town from investing in new equipment, so for the time being, he said, the department will have to make-do.

Published January 13, 2015
The New York Liberty have signed guard Samantha Prahalis to a seven-day contract.
Prahalis, a member of the WNBA's All-Rookie Team in 2012 with Phoenix, was waived by the Mercury on July 18 after averaging just 2.3 points with 2.0 assists in eight games this season.
"We are constantly evaluating and searching for ways to improve our ball club," said Liberty head coach and general manager Bill Laimbeer in a statement Monday.
Prahalis averaged 11.6 points, 4.5 assists and 3.2 rebounds as a rookie in 2012, but saw limited playing time for the Mercury this season when Diana Taurasi was moved into the lead guard position.
