How to Replace Your Toilet
How to Replace Your Toilet
A cracked toilet bowl means one thing: you will need to replace your toilet in its entirety. The toilet cannot be repaired, but it can be replaced and just maybe youll want to tackle this job yourself.
While many people may feel comfortable with handling a toilet repair job, replacing the entire toilet is more involved and requires such tools as an adjustable wrench, a tape measure, a screwdriver, a putty knife, silicone caulk, toilet bolts, a sponge, a level, a wax ring and, of course, the replacement toilet. Expect to spend about two or three hours on this job, but you stand to save significantly on a plumbers bill and come away with a new unit that saves water, looks great and functions as designed.
1. Take a measurement. With your tape measure at the ready, measure the distance from the wall to the toilets floor bolts. If it measures 12 inches, then you have a standard toilet. Otherwise, you will have to shop for a nonstandard toilet.
2. Turn the water connection off. Reach behind the left side of the toilet and turn the water supply valve off. Turn the valve to the right to shut off the water. Next, flush the toilet to empty the tank.
3. Put on a pair of rubber gloves. Lift the lid off the toilet tank and place it to the side or in another room. With sponge in hand sop up the residual water in the tank and then do the same for the inside of the bowl.
4. Remove and disconnect. Underneath the tank you will find the tank bolts, generally located toward the center of the tank. Remove the bolts and then disconnect the water supply line. Keep a sponge handy to sop up residual water.
5. Remove the now separated tank from the bowl. Place the tank to the side; work with a partner if the tank is too heavy for you to remove by yourself.
6. Remove the floor bolts. Covering the floor bolts are decorative caps that must be removed before accessing the floor bolts. Remove the floor bolts with an adjustable wrench and set these to the side.
7. Lift the toilet bowl from the floor. Now fully disconnected, you can remove the toilet bowl from the floor. First, rock the bowl back and forth to break the wax seal. Second, lift the bowl from its position and place it to the side. Third, scrape away the residual wax with a putty knife and cover over the drain with a rag to prevent sewer fumes from entering the bathroom.
8. Prepare the new toilet. Carefully place the new toilet upside down. Fit a new wax ring around the hole in the new toilet. Remove the rag covering the hole.
9. Turn the toilet bowl right side up and place it over the anchor bolts. Use new bolts if needed. The wax ring should seal the bowl to the floor. Tighten the nuts by hand. Use a level to ensure that the new toilet is level; make use of shins to balance the same if needed. Finish tightening the bolts with your adjustable wrench, taking care not to over tighten and risk cracking the bowl. Place decorative caps on top of the bolts.
10. Put the bowl tank it place. Pick up the new bowl tank and put it in place on the back of the toilet. Tighten the bolts by hand, install the toilet tank assembly, reconnect the water supply line and use Kwik Seal or other silicone caulk around the perimeter of the toilet base. You are now done. Flush the toilet to ensure that it is working properly tighten or adjust as needed.

Sometimes I think my fingers
Are not these pencils of blood and bone
But rather the space between them.
Sometimes I think I am everything I'm not.
I think that I am mist on the river.
I think that I am unrefracted light.
I think that I am the blank spaces on the wall no one ever seems to notice.
Sometimes I feel invisible in my own life.
I've got fistfuls of friends I'm tugging out
Begging to look at me
Because I'm not quite sure if I'm real.
I understand they have their own lives
They have things they must attend to
And I'm sure I do get annoying
But sometimes
Sometimes I just need someone to wrap their arms around me
So I can know my own mass.
To know that I am not the space pushed between two atoms
But rather that I am millions upon millions of atoms.
I've got this fake cocky girl swagger down.
I can spit words off my lips with the most demeaning of stares
But honestly I don't know if I'm real sometimes.
I don't know if the pressure I feel against my back is the couch cushion
Or just my own mind hovering over some body pretending.
I run my hands along icy chain link fences
And I walk on concrete in the middle of the summer
I take scalding showers and ice baths
Just to feel something.
But that doesn't tell me if anyone sees me.
That doesn't tell me if this is worth something.
Because I feel invisible in my own life.
A shadow people look through.
And I know I should have more self worth
I know I should be shaking my head no
Saying I am better than this
But I still don't know who I am.
And honestly I'm not sure if I'm the blank spaces
Or exactly what I am.
All I know is sometimes
I feel invisible in my own life.

JW Cannon carried out more than £1.2million worth of work and property improvements over the summer.
Within one tight, eight week window, the JW Cannon team completed a number of major schools projects. The work, at the various schools, involved everything from the formation of a new staff room, to re-tarmacking tennis courts, as well external structural repairs and redecoration.
At one local school the refurbishment involved the entrance, reception area, medical room and the kitchen.
In addition, between late June and the end of August, the team refurbished the communal areas of a private club in London.
Luxury Home Refurbishment
Much of JW Cannon's work is for returning clients, or as a result of referrals. A prime example is a luxury home refurbishment, pictured here, one of three major projects started in September and due for completion by Christmas.
The property owner was referred to JW Cannon by a firm of architects and surveyors the firm has worked with before.
The house is now undergoing a full renovation, with the formation in the roof space of new bedrooms and bathrooms featuring quality sanitary ware, as well as a substantial re-configuration of the ground floor layout.
To complete what will be an outstanding luxury home, we are installing bi-fold patio doors and hardwood windows, custom-made in the JW Cannon joinery workshop.
The Roehampton Club
At The Roehampton Club on the edge of Richmond Park, the firm is carrying out a scheme of improvements to the club's extensive property and grounds.
As part of the work on the club's golf course, boundary, tennis courts, and main entrance, JW Cannon engineers also designed a new, high-spec retaining boundary wall (pictured).
Vet Hospital
A major refurbishment and extension of a veterinary hospital in Carshalton (pictured) is underway. Once completed, the practice team will have a modern, state-of-the art facility in which to treat their animal patients.
This project, which is due to finish by Christmas, involves the formation of new operating theatres, a laboratory and an x-ray room, plus the creation of a new waiting area with purpose-made reception desks, shelving and display units.
New flooring is being laid throughout, suspended ceilings installed and full internal and external redecoration carried out. The hospital IT system is being completely upgraded, the building electrics renewed, and a new air conditioning installed.
Many clients have been so happy with the work undertaken by JW Cannon, they have already asked for the team to return to carry out additional works next year.
If you have a project in mind, no matter how big or small, please do get in touch.

While the Warriors are #2 behind the Rockets in the Western Conference right now, no one doubts they'll be the team to beat in the postseason. But Rockets player Clint Capela says no problem. Is he right to be confident that they'll beat Golden State, or should have kept it to himself?

Do I Want to Live Forever?
I'm not alone when I say that I would like to live long enough to see my grandchildren become young adults, but only if I am in good health. There are many in my generation that feel the same way. Much has been written about the potential longevity of the baby boomer generation and the effects it will have on entitlement programs like social security and Medicare. However, recent studies present a different picture. According to a University of Illinois study baby boomers will not live longer than their parents have despite the healthcare improvements, new drugs and the long 20th century experience of ever-rising life expectations; the culprit – factors like elevated rates of obesity, cancer and suicide.
Another study by Rice University claims that it would be a mistake to project longevity gains of the last century throughout this one. Health status of the baby boom versus the preceding generation reveals that they are in worse shape. There is a higher propensity to suicide particularly for those in their 40's, a time when those rates typically head down. And then there is the 'Big C'. The post war generation has a higher rate of cancer at younger ages than the previous generation. Women of this generation are the heaviest smoking cohort in U.S. history and they are now suffering its effects.
Obesity among boomers is linked to rising disability and serious health problems like diabetes and heart disease. However, the true impact on longevity that obesity has cannot be seen until we get older. Socioeconomic factors will also significantly impact longevity. It is a well-known fact that rich people live longer than poor people do. We know that the gap between rich and poor keeps widening in this country and that the impoverishment of individuals keeps creeping up. The most at risk, of course, are Latinos and Blacks who swell the ranks of those living under the poverty level. They will see drastic declines in health status over the years.
The moral of the story is that in order to live longer we must have been blessed with good genes and the absence of major health problems, a socioeconomic position that allowed us to have access to preventive healthcare and live healthier lives, otherwise it makes no sense to live forever.

Here are a couple of timelines related to Poole that hopefully summarise the information on the Poole Borough website and various other sources regarding the general history of Poole and the more recent regeneration plan with particular focus on the Twin Sails Bridge - not that exciting but it is only for one more week!!!
The first timeline covers the basic general history of Poole. I am guessing the most important things to take from this are the changes in population and industry over time as, combined, they have driven the need for regeneration in Poole.
The second timeline covers (in more detail than I am hoping we need to know!) the key events in the planning and completion of the first stage of the regeneration, the building of the Twin Sails Bridge.
If you have not been on the Poole Borough website for a while it might be worth checking out again as they have added lots of more documents, like a leaflet on the new road layout, that are probably worth a quick read.
I am starting to run out of ideas about what else to cover between now and the exam as I think I have covered most of the geographical skills stuff (apart from fieldwork) so if anyone has anything they would like me to cover then just let me know!
My Geography teacher has started an experiment which involves me writing about what I have learnt in my lessons and about any geographical news that interests me. My Geography teacher is also going to write a blog about what she teaches me (and therefore what I should have learnt!) and hopefully the two blogs will match up. The idea is that this will not only help me to consolidate what I learn but that it will also help fellow students do the same and keep up to date with current issues.

#fridayfavourite Waistlines
If a ball gown is calling to you then one thing you need to think about is the waistline of your gown. There are a few options and each one gives a different look:
A basque waist will finish lower on the hip and dip down in the front. The v helps to create a small waisted look
The next waist is what they call a low basque waist. This flares out lower than the basque. This gown will elongate your torso by giving you a clean line.
There is also a short basque. This is a really flattering cut as it elongates the legs and defines the waist. The best of both worlds.
The next gown and waist is a drop waist. It elongates your upper body and if structured like the Taiya creates an awesome shape.
The natural waistline. This last waistline sits exactly on your waist. The ball gown skirt then gathers out from the waist. This is the ball gown that can give the widest skirt and the most gathers. Fit for a true princess
So if a ball gown is your dream gown, then start working with your stylist to discover which waist line is the best.

LUNENBURG -- Following a mandatory public hearing that drew no comments from the public, the Planning Board on Monday unanimously recommended a temporary moratorium on recreational marijuana sale and distribution through December 31, 2018.
The moratorium is meant to give town officials time to craft new zoning bylaws pertaining to marijuana-related businesses after statewide guidance on the matter is issued next spring.
"This serves a purpose for both sides," said Planning Board Clerk Gregory Bittner of the moratorium. "It gives us some time for the state to get their ducks in a row and so we can hear people out and make new rules and bylaws."
The moratorium, which proposes amending the town's protective bylaws to stall the opening of facilities for recreational marijuana cultivation and testing, product and accessory manufacturing, and retail, will go before voters at Annual Town Meeting on May 6.
Town officials at the Planning Board meeting Monday said there's ample legal gray area when it comes to legal marijuana regulation.
During the hearing, Bittner asked the board if the moratorium would pertain to on-site marijuana consumption at private businesses.
Land-Use Director Adam Burney said that according to the legal recreational marijuana referendum Massachusetts voters approved last November, towns must hold individual referendums to decide whether they want to allow marijuana consumption in such a fashion.
"In order to consume on site, the town would have to, through referendum vote, adopt that as a reasonable or as an allowed use in town," said Burney.
Burney said the town referendum vote must be done during a state election, the next one being November 2018.
Planning Board member David Prokowiew followed up on that question. He asked whether a business could advertise itself as a "bring-your-own-bud" establishment.
While he doesn't believe Lunenburg's general bylaws prohibit marijuana consumption in all public places, Burney said he does not think businesses such as social clubs -- where smoking tobacco may be allowed -- are legally permitted to let customers smoke marijuana on premises.
"It's legal to posses and consume it privately, but I don't believe that an establishment can permit you to use it," said Burney. "There's a lot of gray area and variance, I know a lot of towns have adopted general laws that prohibit the consumption of it in public, I don't believe Lunenburg has that on the books."
Town Meeting in May 2015 ended without a vote on a proposed amendment to prohibit marijuana consumption in public after there weren't enough voters present to continue the session.

Earlier this month, four separate bar owners were arrested for operating video game bars that allegedly break Japanese copyright laws. All four bars were suspected of allowing patrons to borrow various video games… which is a no-no in Japan, since they never got permission from the game creators.
This isn't like loaning your Xbox games to your buddies when they come over for a drink. Once your business is based around the games, regulations are real, and penalties are serious.
The rules are simple: in Japan, you can't profit off of some other company's property without their permission.
These arrests are being dubbed the first of their kind.
The authorities have issued many warnings in the past about bars like this. Now it appears they are cracking down a bit more seriously. Say farewell to Amusement Bar Colorful and Game Bar Clantz (Kyoto), and Game Bar Fanati and Game Bar Equlit (Kobe). The owners of these bars apparently chose to ignore the warnings and continue their fraudulent business. Now, Japanese authorities have decided to make an example of them.
Just this past April, three different video game bars in Osaka were warned that they were breaking similar laws for letting bar patrons play games for free while still paying for drinks.
Once again, the operators had failed to get the permission of the copyright holders of the video games.
The owners of these bars were smart enough to just let their leases expire and close down their businesses before more drastic measures were taken.
With the increasing challenge of earning a profit on games, you should expect to see more cases like this in the future.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Lending growth to euro zone companies and households accelerated last month while a broader measure of money circulating also picked up, data from the ECB showed on Monday, indicating that the tepid recovery in lending is continuing.
The ECB has been trying to boost lending and last week offered banks a fresh round of ultra cheap loans, hoping to induce borrowing and investment, ultimately leading to higher growth and inflation.
Lending to companies grew by 1.4 percent year-on-year in May, above the previous month's 1.2 percent reading. Household lending meanwhile grew by 1.6 percent, a rise from the previous month's 1.5 percent.
The annual growth rate of the M3 measure of money circulating in the euro zone, which is often an indicator of future economic activity, rose to 4.9 percent from 4.6 percent a month ago, exceeding expectations for a 4.8 percent reading.
Growth in M3, which includes items such as deposits with longer maturities, holdings in money market funds and some debt securities, peaked at 5.4 percent in April 2015 and has flatlined or slightly eased since then.
The ECB cut interest rates and expanded its asset-purchase program in March to spur lending and, with it, inflation and economic growth in the euro zone.

When books turn into motion pictures
Remember the moving images in Harry Potter's newspapers, and the talking portraits in the corridors of Hogwarts? There are now books that can do, well, something very much like that.books Updated: Jun 08, 2015 15:39 IST
Remember the moving images in Harry Potter's newspapers, and the talking portraits in the corridors of Hogwarts? There are now books that can do, well, something very much like that.
It's called augmented reality and it allows you to use an app on your smartphone to transform a regular picture book. You just hold your smartphone up to a page and the images can move, talk and sing, on an enhanced version of the page now visible on your screen.
For the publishing industry, battling the onslaught of the digital media and struggling to reach a generation that has grown up on interactive digital content, it's a magic wand in a different sense of the word, and it's increasingly being embraced as a means of enhancing the scope of their offerings.
For the reader, this means that once you download the relevant free app, you can just hold your phone over a page and see it move, expand into a 3D video, watch the character talk, fight or argue - all on a dynamic version of the page now 'playing' on your smartphone screen.
"Books are also a kind of technology, but have been static since the invention of publishing," says Sankalpo Ghose, an artist and software engineer who created the app An Art for Seagull Books' first AR release, Soho Chronicles, released in February. "With e-books and augmented reality, we can now enhance the technology of the book to reach out to readers seeking a digital experience or format."
In Soho Chronicles, a book about the animated films of South African artist William Kentridge, AR content allows the reader to see the artist at work as his sketches take shape one stroke at a time. "Kentridge's style of filming involved sketching a certain frame and then erasing it to alter the drawing. Augmented reality brings this art to life," says Ghose.
In May, children's magazine Tinkle began offering AR elements such as this virtual dart game on the cover.
Elsewhere, in May, children's magazine Tinkle began to offer an AR version that lets their young readers convert a pinwheel on the cover into a moving game on their smartphones, and leads from the popular Supandi comic strip to video content on the hapless young man's misadventures, even allowing the reader to step into the comic, pose as a doctor in a hospital-themed strip, and take a 'selfie' with the character.
"I really liked playing the dart game, which is on the cover, and my [five-year-old] sister and I clicked selfies as Suppandi's doctor, holding a stethoscope," says Mumbai reader Sophie Mascarenhas, 9. "I find the technology part very exciting. It gives you something to do once you have read the book."
PAN Macmillan, meanwhile, began using AR on horror fiction titles such as Reviver by Seth Patrick in January 2014, creating covers that morph and move and allow the reader to step into the book before they've even opened it.
Back to the beginning
One of the earliest AR projects in India was Bangalore-based artist Shilo Shiv Suleman's 2010 college project, Khoya Khoya Chand.
In Khoya Khoya Chand, a children's book about the environment, an app leads to animated images.
In this children's fantasy book about the environment and climate change, superimposed animation could be triggered by an app held over the page.
Then came Priya's Shakti, in December 2014, a comic book that told the story of a fictional rape survivor who went on to campaign for women's empowerment, helped by Hindu goddesses Parvati and Durga. "From the beginning, I wanted the comic book to have an interactive component that would make the message of the book accessible to audiences in India and around the world," says US-based author Ram Devineni.
Download the An Art app and hold your phone over this image form Seagull Books' Soho Chronicles and you will see sketches by artist William Kentridge take shape. This is an image from the film Felix in Exile.
"We had lots of documentary footage and actual interviews with rape survivors, so we loaded them into the AR format. Readers can now hear from the people behind the true stories that have inspired the book and the character of Priya." Priya's Shakti and Tinkle are both using the US-based Blippar app for their augmented reality content.
In India, Blippar is also working on AR content for business, technology and lifestyle magazines such as Business World, Digit, Stuff and Chitralekha. "Due to its versatility, AR has potential applications across all genres of books and content," says Ambarish Mitra, CEO and founder of Blippar Global.
"Art exhibitions are another field where AR is just waiting to be leveraged," says Devineni, who organised AR-enabled art exhibitions around the theme of sexual violence against women in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and New York. "Imagine scanning an art work in a museum or gallery and immediately accessing information about it and its creator. That could be revolutionary for a field as traditionally inaccessible as art."

Diet and Neurology Management
Last week I ripped my calf muscle and will be incapacitated all winter. I have a wrapped leg, boot and a walker to get around. Some days the muscle is in such spasm, I can barely move. As a result, our schedule has changed completely. I now do rehab in the pool very day for 60-90 mins, always with one of the kids while the other is in school. That is a very long time for a little body (theirs) to be in the pool. Yesterday, we unintentionally did an interesting experiment with food, partially due to our new schedule. I have always suspected that what Alex eats affects his neurological function, far beyond the sugar highs that parents recognize in their children when they eat sweets. Since Alex's first seizures, we have tried to keep him on a higher fat, lower carb diet. It is hard to attribute behavior changes to food intake, but observationally, the change in diet seems to work. Yesterday, we proved it further, this time with such certainty that I am now the world's greatest proponent of high fat diets in kids with brain injuries. Although I packed a healthy high fat diet for Alex's lunch, I also included popped chips and other high carb options. Throughout the day, he consumed mostly high carbs, low fat foods, and had spent over an hour swimming hard in the pool. Around 2pm, the minute we walked into the house, he started to melt down. The meltdown lasted a good 30 minutes and he was totally out of control. It was one of those meltdowns that appear neurological, as though Alex has lost all control of his brain. I thought about what he had eaten that day, and decided I better feed him some fat. I cooked two eggs in 2 tbs of butter, and added half an avocado with olive oil and salt. Still sniffling and fussing, he devoured the meal, along with a glass of whole milk. Within minutes, he returned to normal. Our sweet, peaceful Alex came back and he went on with his play. We didn't have a single other issue all day. I recently learned of a grant application with the NIH to examine the effect of exercise and nutrition in children with traumatic brain injuries. I hope the NIH funds this one, even though I feel any parent who has tried diet and exercise to improve physical and neurological function in their child with TBI needs no study to prove their positive discoveries. It would be nice to have a study to document the benefits of non-pharmaceutical therapies in children with neurological challenges. I wonder how that might change school lunch programs and PE, for all children.

Ironman Arizona and Ironkids Arizona
The Ironman went about as well as it possibly could have, given he bare minimum that Erik and I had trained for it. We finished, long after dark and into the cold, but we raced the entire race together. We had lots of time to catch up with each other on the run. Nothing like a 6 hour run to give you alone time with your spouse. Not all of the spouses racing together that day crossed the line holding hands, but Erik and I did. With hands held high and tears in our eyes, we crossed the line and listened as Mike Rielly announced our names and donned us an "Iron couple." Pretty moving, and one of those moments we will have to think about as we grow old and decrepit. The day before, Alex and Izzy participated in the Ironkids 1 miler. Tis is such as great race for the kids. We saw tremendous improvements in both of them over the Ironkids race they did in Utah in May. For one, Izzy participated this time. Ad second, Alex ran the entire race without walking, a sign of his increased endurance. As always, we tell our kids they won because they participated. They got awesome medals. Alex brought his to share day this week and had the chance to tell about his great race. What a confidence builder.

On to Arizona
So much has happened in the last two weeks, and here is a very slim recap. The Big Brad Ultra 50 Miler was BRUTAL! Only 10 people finished, which included 2 women (I was not one of them). The first woman hammered the race so hard, I am in complete awe and wonder what she eats for breakfast. When I hit mile 35, I was past the time limit for that stage and so was pulled off the 50 and entered in the 35 mile race, in which I took second, behind the woman who won the VT 100 last year. We both had gotten lost on the 50 mile course, repeatedly, and so she dropped out at 35. I barely hobbled across the line at 35, and had no intentions of going another step. Then Hurricane Sandy hit us hard, here on the CT shore. Our shoreline was crushed. Made the downpours during the Big Brad Ultra look like nothing. We were fine since we sit on 14 foot stilts. We are thankful, and respect our good fortune. Now we are headed to Ironman Arizona, most likely our last race of the season. This is Erik's first Ironman and we hope to finish, safe and sound, together. I am going into this race incredibly undertrained and will be just cruising on my happiness for simply being our there on a long course. Hopefully the legs will hold up with my good humor. Alex and Izzy will race the Ironkids one miler the day before, which is always a highlight of the weekend. Our values this week are Optimism and Determination. I believe we will need a heavy dose of both.

Critic Reviews for A Hard Day
All Critics (29) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (23) | Rotten (6) | DVD (1)
Director Kim turns the screw relentlessly, working old-school devices like ringing phones to excellent effect while tossing in some inspired fight and chase scenes.
It's hard to feel sympathy for such a miserable miscreant. Impossible, in fact.
You'll be glad that "A Hard Day" isn't happening to you, but you won't regret observing it all from a safe distance.
When was the last time you saw a modern thriller with so much narrative and visual wit that you were simultaneously laughing and crying out in fear - the kind the Coen brothers often make and Spielberg when he's in a Hitchcockian mood?
At its best, "A Hard Day" has a breakneck pace that allows one to easily dismiss the more ridiculous, downright nonsensical aspects of its plot. Only occasionally will the eyes roll. For the most part, it works.
A kinetically visceral, enjoyable nasty joy ride, "A Hard Day" is pretty much as advertised.
Audience Reviews for A Hard Day
This is one of the best South Korean thrillers I've seen in a long ass time and, really, one of the better South Korean films I've seen since Pieta. That may not say a lot about South Korean cinema, lately at least, but I think it's mostly the fact that a lot of the really great movies don't find their way here. Either that or they're going through a slump. Regardless, with that out of the way, I really enjoyed this film quite bit. There's just something very skillful about the way it handles some fairly high-tension moments whilst also providing you with a good amount of comedic elements in there. Not like the comedic elements there make this the best comedy of 2015, but there's enough of it that helps liven things up from what is a very taut and well-executed suspense/thriller. I think it benefits from a really strong cast. The lead character, Detective Go is fairly ineffectual and he's always two steps behind the villain of the film. He's always working against the clock and he can't really hold his own in a fight if he's overpowered, which does happen in this movie. It works because it's actually believable in that Go simply wouldn't be working at peak capacity when he has to worry about another cop trying to blackmail him with revealing what he did to the world. It's an interesting direction to take your lead character, but I think the scripting and Lee Sun-kyun, who plays the detective, definitely make this approach work. It also helps when you're put against such an effectively dastardly villain as you have in this movie. Perhaps it's not even the scripting of the villain, I think it's Jo Jin-woong's performance that really takes the film to the next level. It's clear that he had a certain commitment to this role and that he was gonna give the absolute best of him to make the role memorable. According to his Wikipedia page, I've seen him in some movies, but this might be, from what I've seen, his most high-profile role to date and he is pretty damn excellent. There's just something detestable about him and I think Jo plays perfectly into that and it makes watching him really entertaining. The film moves at a real fast pace, it's not that there's a lot of information that the movie needs to get out, but there's still a lot of stuff going on at all times. The movie does not take a break before moving on to the next scene that'll move the story forward. There's a manic energy about it and that's part of the reason why the film feels like it's over quicker. I don't think the film is as twisty as a lot of these films tend to be and, you know what, it's to the film's benefit. A lot of these films have these really stupid twists that make no sense in the context of its own story and I'm glad to see a film not give in to that. That's about it really, I really liked this movie. It's a really consistent film. It's really good from beginning to end. It has a really strong cast, characterization and simple, but effective, storytelling. This is an easy recommendation.

Walks in and Around the Berwyn Mountains
Disgrifiad | Description
- Author: John Tranter
- Publication December 2007
- Format: Paperback, 182x124 mm, 80 pages
A collection of 12 graded circular walks reflecting the diverse landscape, natural beauty and rich history of the Berwyn Mountains, comprising easy-to-follow directions and maps, together with information relating to local attractions. 13 maps.
Gwales Review
This is a welcome addition to the excellent 'Walks with history' series, detailing twelve walks in this wild upland where tourist activity is relatively quiet, and where a sense of solitude can still be found.
The walks are prefaced with a concise and informative introduction describing the geology of the Berwyn range, its Silurian flags and shales laid down some 400 million years ago and the later effects of the last ice age cutting through several U-shaped valleys which define the shape of the Berwyn today, with a featureless plateau which can make navigation in poor weather particularly difficult. The author goes on to describe the human influence on and activity in this area dating back from at least the Stonge Age or early Bronze Age as indicated by standing stones, cairns and stone circles. Some of these are incorporated into the circular walks later on. From these ancient historical beginnings, we are taken on a brief history from Roman occupation through to the defeat of Henry II by Owain Gwynedd, the campaigns of Owain Glyndŵr in the early 1400s. We also learn about the drovers routes through this area, used to drive cattle from Wales into England to be sold.
The walks themselves are graded from easy and moderate to strenuous, ranging from 4 to 12 miles, allowing for plenty of choice and variety of landscape. There are more descriptions of historical interest included in each of the walks, such as the ancient shrine of Santes Melangell, the stone circle at Rhos y Beddau and Craig Rhiwarth hill fort. More navigationally challenging walks (particularly at times when bracken can be thigh deep) are interspersed with easier routes such as the two short walks around Lake Vyrnwy, and the 4 mile circular beginning at the enchanting waterfall, Pistyll Rhaeadr.
Each walk refers to the accompanying OS map, which is strongly recommended especially where the landscape here offers so few distinctive features. The author helpfully includes detailed information on where there is difficult terrain or unclear paths, which is good preparation for the walker. This is an excellent companion guide to walking in the Berwyn and its compact size makes it easily portable out on your days' roaming these remote and peaceful hills.

WAYNESBORO, Pa. - Contract talks between the Waynesboro Area School District and the bargaining team representing the system's 270 teachers have broken down to the point where a state mediator has been called.
The three-year contract that members of the Waynesboro Area Education Association have been working under expires June 30, said association President Michael Engle.
Engle, a biology teacher at Waynesboro Area Senior High School, said negotiations on a new contract began in January. He said any recommendations from the mediator would be non-binding on either party.
"The mediator will act as a go-between," Engle said.
The mediator was requested from the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board and will meet with the negotiators on Tuesday, said Robert Mesaros, superintendent of schools.

Expensive birthday Present
A middle-aged Jewish guy is out to dinner with his wife to celebrate her fortieth birthday.
He says, "So what would you like, Julie? A Jaguar? A sable coat? A diamond necklace??
She says, "Bernie, I want a divorce.
He says, "I wasn't planning on spending that much.
Not the happiest birthday
Two weeks ago was my 40th birthday and I wasn't feeling too hot that morning. I went down to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and say "Happy Birthday and probably have a present for me. She didn't even say "Good Morning, let alone any "Happy Birthday. I thought, "Well, that's wives for you. The children will remember. "The children came down to breakfast and didn't say a word.
When I started to the office I was feeling pretty low and despondent. As I walked into my office, my secretary, Janet said, "Good Morning, Boss, Happy Birthday. I felt a little better. Someone had remembered. I worked until noon, then Janet knocked on my door and said, "You know it is such a beautiful day outside and it is your birthday, let's go to lunch, just you and me. I said,
"By Joe, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go.
We went to lunch. We didn't go where we normally go. We went out into the country to a little private place. We had two martinis and enjoyed lunch tremendously. On the way back to the office, she said, "You know it is such a beautiful day; we don't need to go back to the office, do we? I said, "No, I guess not. She said, "Let's go to my apartment.
After arriving at her apartment she said, "Boss, if you don't mind, I think I'll go into the bedroom and slip into something more comfortable. Sure, I excitedly replied. She went into the bedroom and, in about six minutes she came out carrying a big birthday cake, followed by my wife, children and dozens of our friends. They were all singing Happy Birthday…….and there I sat on the couch…….naked.

Premiership goals on Guardian website
The Guardian's Football page (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football) has an ad on the front page that is showing the goals and 2mins of highlights from last night's United Vs West Brom, and Sunderland Vs Fulham. Is this new? Or have just been adblocking so not seen it?
but it never seems to work
or when it doe it doesn't provide what it promises to
Well it worked for me today
saw both United and Sunderland's goals.
Yeah it normally has goals from all the leagues
I think it normally has Serie A and La Liga goals as well
aren't they showing Spurs? :(

Ken in Philadelphia posted a nice comment here yesterday. He found the blog because spicebush is one of his favorite woodland shrubs. This prompted me to write about why the name - Spicebush Log. I learned to identify and smell Northern spicebush (Lindera benzoin) from my father, as spicebush is also one of his favorites and it grows in the understory of our family land in western Massachusetts. I grew up there, playing in the woods, fields, swamps, and hills, and return there regularly to visit my parents and wander the same lands.
Spicebush grows in the understory in the moist woods behind the saltbox, built in the 1700s. As the land drops away to the north, our winding woodland path leads through a forest of red and sugar maples. Our path was chosen, in part, to take us by a few of the native spicebush, that grow to about 8 to 10 feet tall, their graceful, slender branches arch over the trail. A few branches are low enough that as we pass by we pick and crush a few leaves, absorbing the spicy fragrance that gives the plant its name.
The small, yellow flowers will appear soon, before the leaves emerge. Some call it the "forsythia of the wilds." As spring gets underway, the skunk cabbage will poke through in the stream and the cinnamon, interrupted and sensitive ferns will send forth their fiddleheads. By mid-summer when the spicebush is clothed in its dark green leaves gracing the midstory of our woodland, the forest floor will be blanketed in tall ferns, and the ovenbird and red-eyed vireo will sing overhead.The Spicebush Log, also a reference to the life within a fallen log, chronicles the daily sightings, seasonal changes, and other happenings in places that I live and visit.

My husband and I waited for signs of pregnancy after being married for a couple of months.There seemed to be none. Though we did not feel miserable we were a little concerned about the matter.
We waited month after month, only to be disappointed.
After several months passed by, I felt crushed. One side people questioning, another the yearning for my own child when I saw other children.
All this while it never occurred to me that I should take this matter to God seriously in prayer. But after months which seemed like years I decided to pray fervently just as Hannah did.
As I kept praying, God spoke to me and said that I will conceive and have a child. It was not very hard for me to believe this promise as I have witnessed God being faithful to His promises time and time again.
The very next month I conceived and today as I write this blog, it's not even one complete year from the day God promised me a child. God has blessed us with a beautiful boy baby.
I wanted to run to doctor for tests and treatments, but before that we turned to God and He was our very present help in time of need. No one could have helped us better. He will help you too, whatever be your need and situation. Just ask God.
Anything you ask for in prayer, in Jesus' name and believe that you will receive, God will be faithful to fulfil.

|Art by Wieszcza
Slavic God of Fertility and Abundance, Svetovid is the messenger of the Bogi Lyudei and the divination deity of the slavic pantheon.
Also known as Radegast in the Wendish lands, humans represent him by a four-headed dragon with one head pointing to each cardinal direction. Brown beard, brown hair, a green ivy crown, pale skinned and riding a fierce steed. This is the common appearance Svetovid chooses to show to his fellow divine comrades.
Svetovid is a wanderer. He carries messages to the whole pantheon and travels all around the Overworld to provide help and advices to whoever needs it. He is a master of Wyrdseeing and can interpret the flows of Fate the same way a musician can read musical notes. His abilities allow him to predict many of the possible outcomes of a given action and because of this, he is seen as a trusted advisor and a prized ally. He and Ullr have developped an especially strong bond made of sheer respect for each other, a bond which proves useful to escape Odin and Heimdall's power as both Gods would love to use the vassal status of the Bogi Lyudei to gain control over Svetovid's insights (especially regarding Ragnarok…).
One alliance which was significant enough to shake the Bogi Lyudei to its core was the alliance between Svetovid and Svarog. Svetovid helped him forge his most successful creation. Thanks to their combined Legend and skills, they were able to create a powerful Wyrdborn who then succeeded into becoming a part of the Bogi Lyudei: the God Dažbog.
His Godborns are, like him, run by their instincts and driven by the idea of traveling around the World along with informing people about actions of the past, present or future. They can be international journalists, politicians, preachers, explorers of the wild or colonists.

If the light sensor is to support all interconnected neural networks, the optical interconnection is supporting all interconnected lifeline.
We know that broadband Internet, on the one hand depends on the broadband high-speed backbone network, on the other hand relies on large volumes of data center, and the data center is needed in the short-distance high-capacity dense data exchange and transfer.
The traditional use of copper electrical interconnect data centers which have been difficult to meet the demand for high-speed bulk data transfer and exchange. Then the high-capacity data center, how to meet such high-speed short-range intensive data exchange and transfer it?
Now widely recognized by the scientific community is the use of active optical cable (AOC). AOC applications first, data centers and high-performance computers, both have to use a lot of servers connected to each other (computing unit), routers (switching unit) and memory (storage unit), "In the world ranking of the Milky Way computer for example, it has thousands of computing units and switching units, requiring high-speed low-power interconnect, and AOC can satisfy these needs. "
With the advent of the era of big data development and application scenarios, AOC will become the main form of ultra-wideband interconnection, the market will gradually grow.
Because the technology development and background, from communications to interconnected world, is forming a "actinic" trend: the long-distance backbone network, to the access network, fiber to the home, to the LAN and between racks connection, which is already the world of light; and from between machines, between the circuit board, and then between the integrated circuit chip, have gradually become electrically connected by optical interconnects.
In this "actinic" trend in active optical cable (AOC) with its high transfer rate, low energy consumption, high mounting density, low crosstalk, long connection distance or time delay, anti-electromagnetic interference and other prominent advantages , will play an increasingly important role in the interconnection between the racks, between the machine and the circuit board in between.

Spatchcock, you say?
In my case, it was say "spatchcock" over and over again.... Just count how many times I can use spatchcock in this post!
To spatchcock your chicken, cut down the back and remove the backbone. Lay your split chicken open (bone side down) and press gently on the breast to flatten it out. The purpose of spatchcocking is to promote even quicker cooking. Our 6 lb roaster cooked in 40 minutes. The breast meat was perfectly juicy as were the legs and thighs. One of the greatest advantages to spatchcocking is the perfect, all-over crispy skin!
Spatchcocked chicken is great for grilling.
However, tonight we roasted our spatchcocked chicken in the oven, bathed in the flavors of Tuscany.
Max brought his people (Garden Guru and Dee) for dinner.
Secretly, I was inspiring the building of the wood burning oven. The Tuscan Spatchcocked Chicken was very tasty......but can you imagine if it would have been roasted in a wood-fired oven........
Tuscan Spatchcocked Chicken
5-6 lb Roasting Chicken, spatchcocked
10 oz. (about 1.5 cups) Cherry Tomatoes
10 cloves garlic, peeled left whole
1 tbsp olive oil
fresh thyme (dried is OK too)
coarse salt
Preheat oven 425 degrees.
Spatchcock the chicken and season generously with fresh thyme, salt and pepper.
In an oven proof dish toss together tomatoes, garlic cloves, thyme, salt/pepper and olive oil. I pierced each tomato because I thought it was a good idea!
Place the seasoned chicken, skin side up, on top of the tomato mixture.
Bake for 40 minutes or until internal temp of thigh is 160 degrees. If the skin is not crispy enough, turn on the broiler for a few minutes......but watch it carefully!
To serve, joint the chicken, separating the legs and thighs. Take the breast meat off the bone and carve into slices. Scoop up all the yummy tomatoes, garlic and pan juices and drizzle over the cut up chicken. If it was Summer and the garden had a bounty of basil, I would have chopped up a handful and added to the top.
I served this with a fresh pasta (chili and olive oil, BR's favorite) and a simple tossed salad.

was an excellent walk in very scenic countryside
in Derbyshire and Staffordshire. It was a very hot
day with temperatures soaring up to 28°C. Except
for one field the ground was firm (surprising after
all the rain in previous weeks). Lots of water was
drunk during the day and the checkpoints were working
flat out. A well earned meal and drinks were awaiting
our return. Well done to all concerned in organising
a great event.

We borrow it from our Children.
- Cleaning and trimming day:
The Ludwigia had like 3cm above the water level. This plan loves a medium light, it will go red in no time. It will also go green in a matter of minutes if the lighting is not enough. I gave it a good trim and planted on the bottom right, as I had spare room there. My guess is it will go greener, but also keen to see how it does with the substrate nutrients (not that it really needs it). It's still looking really tall, so will give it a couple of weeks before trimming it again.
I also trimmed the mosses, they were brownish when they first started melting, so hopefully this will induce a better and nicer grow.
Something happened to my trident...I moved it to the main wood section and after a few days, the area in contact with the wood fungus had develop some sort of fungus too...as a consequence, half of the trident is now gone I've removed most of the affected leaves and I hope it will re-grow again (needle leaf is also showing some symptoms).
- Fish: I added the 5 embers and 3 pygmy cories from my shrimp tank to this one. They have all settled in quite well, but they struggle getting food...the rummy-nose are just absolute beasts eating! The 3 cories do school with the rummy-nose...so my school of black and grey fish is now bigger...fail haha
I don't think I will add anymore fish for now. Will hold back on new additions, my options are still between Choc Gouramis (tho I read they don't like big water changes...) and a pair of apistos.
- I bought a glass inflow pipe with skimmer, just patiently waiting for it
Before the trimming
Big trim
After (uops, just noticed the trident went for a swim...)
I will try update the thread this weekend. I'm struggling with algae atm, but I think Pil found the issue
In the meantime, here's a poor and short vid of the tank I did last week.
I really like this tank and well done with the scape. It will get better as plants fill in.
Update: I'm having some issues with algae. Turns out I was over dosing fertilisers (All-in-one from LCA). Since Pil told me, I've done a couple of big water changes, and lowered light intensity and raised the height. I got around 25 NQAS in there too, and they're loving the salad buffet. I can't believe how active and chill they are, nothing compared to the few shy cherries and yellows I have in there too.
I added Blyxa (thanks insipid!) and did a big trim of Ludwigia and moved it to the back. I also trimmed the AR and filled the front row with them.
Algae everywhere...but the shrimps are happy and the ottos are fat...
Before and after the trimming.
Side view, before and after.
Trimmed AR, hydrocotyle filling everything and some mosses:
Thanks for watching!

Wow! Stunning!
I really like the rummy's in this tank.
I use one of those skimmers too, they're great aren't they
Update: Most hair algae is gone thanks to water changes, less ferts, decreasing light intensity and the NQAS. Now that's under control, and light intensity is back, now I have to fight BBA...I'll have a read around the forum, see what your secrets to fight it are, but any tips you might have are welcome
Be careful around moss and fiss. It'll melt too.
We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors,
We borrow it from our Children.
A month since the last update, this is what I've been (fighting) up to.
Yesterday was a good time for a cleaning as I just came back from a 10 days trip I did for work. I wish I had more time for cleaning tho!
1) Since last month, BBA grew really fast but I managed to keep it under control. I did water changes every 5 days, dropped fertilising even more and lowered light so it's closer to the surface and a bit stronger now. As a result, BBA isn't growing anymore, but I just needed to get rid of what it was currently there so, yesterday I pulled out the driftwood that was affected by BBA and dropped Continium Fraction on it (which gave me good results on small test I've done previously). I also bought a SAE a couple of weeks ago (more on him later...) to help with algae and BBA, he seems happy
Before the cleaning/treatment:
And the after - it should die off soon and the shrimps/sae will take care of it:
2) Second thing I'm fighting in this tank...turns out I now have Hydra! I came back from my trip to what you can see on the picture below...They were settled in 2 different spots, there near the wood and the water flow, but also behind a stone (very little flow). I even saw them riding a pond snail...WTF! I wish I had a picture, was hilarious (tears of joy..). Anyway, I scraped them and siphoned them out...or the best I could, but I'm sure there are still heaps around...Anyone has had experience with it before? are they as hard to get rid of as planaria? Is it possible the Hydra came somehow (spores?) with the SAE? I bought him a week before I left for my trip so it's the only thing I could think of...or does hydra just shows up 'out of the blue' like planaria?
All and all, I'm having fun with this messy tank

This paper presents a general purpose technique for identifying (extracting) the dynamic properties of nonlinear joints using dynamic test data. No theoretical model is required, only experimental data are needed for the identification. Because no assumption on the properties of the nonlinear joints is made, the method is applicable for identifying almost any type of nonlinear joints. In the identification method, the nonlinear force at a joint is treated as an external force and the principle of multi-harmonic balance is employed. The force-response relationship of a nonlinear joint is then obtained. Various measurement errors in experimental data can affect the accuracy of identification. In this paper, efforts are also devoted to understanding how the accuracy of identification is affected by measurement errors. Techniques for improving the accuracy of identification are also discussed. The method is verified by experimental studies. The nonlinear properties of an impact joint and a friction joint have been successfully identified.
