With just $25,000 left in the $24.3 million GulfQuest budget, Mobile City Councilors were not happy to see the boat-shaped museum on the Oct. 22 agenda again, even though more money was not being requested.
Although the councilors had reservation, four requests to reallocate money to different contractors were approved. Councilwoman Bess Rich abstained from the vote.
City Attorney Larry Wettermark said the money has already been allocated, but the work needed to be moved to another contractor.
Wettermark said there should be about $25,000 left in the contingency fund.
Councilman John Williams didn't' hold any punches in his disapproval of the museum's construction.
"All the criticism the project has been receiving is warranted," he said. "I'm not surprised if there will be another request for money, but what can we do … stop the project?
He also said delaying the vote could mean more expenses for the city.
Rich begrudgingly let the issue come up on Oct. 22, but abstained from casting a vote.
"I wanted to hold this over in order to find out more about the issue, but I was advised there could be more expenses to the city if done so. I will let this be voted on, but I'm not going to vote on it," she said.
The first change order would give the Site Utility Package work to Ben M. Radcliff Contractor Inc. The contract is for $153,667.
Radcliff will receive another large new contract from another contractor. The $527,149 contract for the General Trades/Interior Finishes/Elevator Package will also go to the company if the council approves.
Batchelor's Mechanical Contractors, Inc., is set to receive the plumbing and HVAC Package, which is a $35,510 contract.
Lastly, Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc., will take over the General Building and Site Electrical Package, which totals $47,631. The name of the company losing the contracts was not immediately available.
A variety of reasons were responsible for the changes, Wettermark said.
He said exhibits are already being brought into the museum and the estimated opening is "two or three months" away.
One project everyone on the council and in the administration was glad to see on the agenda was repairs to Ann Street.
By moving money from two completed projects — a bridge project on Halls Mill and Moore's Creek and Culvert Repairs on Airport Boulevard near Eslava Creek — more than $337,200 was put toward repairing the street.
City Engineer Nick Amberger said the funds would repair a hole in Ann Street as well as fixing the drainage from Tennessee to McDonald.
The reason the repairs took so long is the city had to work with a railroad company to ensure repairs under a nearby railroad track would not affect the train traffic.

People nowadays always ask for pictures as proof; having a mindset of "Pics or it didn't happen." It isn't wrong to ask for visual proof but faith is not meant for sight. As Christians, we are gifted with faith through our concrete encounters of Jesus giving light in our daily lives.
May our lives be the proof of our testimonies of faith bearing ourselves as witnesses to Jesus being the light of the world.

Who's going to be left holding the baby, George?
Maternity services are underfunded, understaffed and struggling to cope, finds a survey by the Royal College of Midwives.
Sean O'Sullivan
The funding crisis that faces George Osborne as he delivers his spending review today is arguably the worst the NHS has ever seen, following five years of an unprecedented funding squeeze imposed across the health service.
At the Royal College of Midwives, we've seen the impact on maternity services. Maternity services are overworked, understaffed and struggling to cope, with maternity unit closures, budget and training cuts as well as reduced services among the key issues highlighted in a survey of senior midwives.
The survey of Heads of Midwifery found that over two-fifths of maternity units had to close temporarily in the year ending April 2014 – 32.8 per cent, as well as in the year ending April 2015 – 41.5 per cent, because they couldn't cope with demand. The RCM say that the number of closures reflects rising demands on services due to increasingly complex births and low staffing levels.
The RCM's annual overview of the state of maternity services, the State of Maternity Services Report 2015, calculated that in England services are 2,600 midwives short of being able to cope with the number of births.
RCM have said that "a failure to have the right numbers of staff to deliver the safest and best care ultimately leads to greater costs in the long-term." RCM's survey found that well over a quarter of HoMs – 29.5 per cent in 2014 and 29.6 per cent in 2015 – reported they did not have enough midwives. As staffing shortages bite, as well inadequate funding, services are also being reduced. A tenth of Midwifery heads reported that they had to reduce services in 2014 – and more than a tenth reported the same this year.
Services cut include fewer specialist midwives, fewer parent classes and less bereavement and breast feeding support. The pressures on existing services led some HoMs to report having to provide additional midwifery services but without any extra budget. The survey also revealed that two-fifths of HoMs had reduced training for staff in the last year – 21.9 per cent in 2014 and 20.3 per cent in 2015.
Some of the comments from senior midwives illustrate the critical nature of the crisis in maternity services:
"Staffing is and will remain a safety issue and financial pressure. The level of pressure everyone is feeling is now palpable. Worrying times."
"I am very concerned about the state of the NHS. How is it possible to continue providing high levels of individualised quality care year on year with high cost reductions, cuts to training budgets and more women with complex needs? Stress in the workplace directly affects women's care. The pressure all grades of staff are experiencing is palpable."
"The continued pressure of adding services to the midwives portfolio without extra funding, because the service is apparently in tariff, this is not sustainable."
So has Osborne come up with a solution?
Yesterday's announcement NHS spending over the next five years was typical of the Chancellor. Behind the headline grabbing figures very real risks remain. To be sure, it is welcome that the calls of health unions, campaigners and the medical profession for some form of frontloading over the spending review has been heeded and £3.8bn next year will help alleviate some of the immediate pressure of the financial crisis brought on by five years of an unprecedented funding squeeze imposed over the last five years.
However, changing the ring-fence from the whole health budget to NHS England means that large areas of health spending will be subject to cuts. At the RCM, we are greatly concerned that what the Chancellor is giving with one hand, he is taking away with another. Cutting funding for training bursaries is a ludicrous false economy that will only exacerbate shortages and escalate costs down the line. Saddling nursing and midwifery staff with student debts during a decade of NHS pay restraint is not the way to attract, recruit and retain the new full time staff we need.
And let's not forget, the NHS as a whole is a long way from being out of the woods. The £8bn funding agreed as part of the NHS Five Year Plan was aimed at plugging the spending gap. If the government is genuine about delivering new models of care and 7 day services across the NHS, then further investment will be needed. We can't continue to rely on the goodwill of an over-stretched and under-valued workforce providing free over time. Transforming care cannot be done on the cheap.
Neither can we take for granted that the NHS will be able to find the £22bn savings that Simon Stevens has committed to. Three quarters of savings made under the 'Nicholson Challenge' of the last five years came on the back of tariff cuts and pay restraint, neither of which are sustainable going forward. This is a huge whole that no-one seems prepared to honestly acknowledge.
This problem will really hit hard in the middle of this parliament, as the spending profile outlined today shows a huge dip in funding following the initial injection of £3.8bn. Increases of just £500m and £900m face the NHS between 2018 and 2020. If the savings have failed to emerge and the health service continues to cope with deficits while struggling to phase in seven day services, those years could be very difficult indeed.
Further cuts to public health will also weaken exactly the kind of local preventative interventions that we need to manage demand on health services over the long run. Combined with the massive cuts expected to local authority budgets, with further impacts on the provision of social care, the ability to manage demand and to deliver the integration between local government and the NHS that is central to the transformation of healthcare is being further undermined.
The TUC-led All Together for the NHS campaign has spent the run up to this week's Spending Review highlighting the various ways in which the government's squeeze on NHS funding has impacted on different services. From A&E waiting times, to staff shortages, over-stretched GPs, cancer care and mental health – services are under increasing pressure despite the best efforts of fantastic NHS staff.
The RCM surveyed Heads of Midwifery (HoMs), asking questions about staffing levels, recruitment and retention, morale and motivation and budget cuts. The survey was conducted in June/July 2014 and June/July 2015. For more information please visit the RCM website.

「mu」in Latin writing represents the tone of the Chinese character「木」 – wood.
This is a self-initiated project led by the intention to build a portfolio case. As my work constantly involves working with film and sound, I wanted to create something that can showcase my physical portfolio whilst having the ability to watch some of my short films. I created a backpack out of unvarnished wood as a representation of growth. Over time, this backpack will absorb moisture and change its form depending on natural temperature. I used wood as a main material for the backpack acting as an amplifier for the sound of the films being displayed on the integrated screen.


Recommended picks include players from Brazil, Switzerland, Iceland, Japan and Russia.
Use your transfers shrewdly with these McDonald's FIFA World Cup Fantasy tips for midfielders in Round 3 of Russia 2018's official fantasy football.
If you've still got your Wildcard, this looks a good time to play it as you'll get unlimited transfers again before the Round of 16.
In effect this grants you a free hit for these final group stage matches, so look into who's likely to rest players and who will be full-strength.
Now you've had the chance to have a look at every team, you should be in a better position to decide who has the best fixtures.
Remember you can make substitutions from day to day within each round, so it's worth finding bargains to allow you a decent bench.
With that in mind, recommended picks include players from Brazil, Switzerland, Iceland, Japan, Australia and Russia.
Although by no means cheap, Coutinho has scored in both matches so far and is likely to be a key player again as Brazil seek to secure qualification against Serbia.
In terms of the higher priced midfielders, he looks like one of the best bets.
As long as he doesn't get banned for his celebration against Serbia (keep an eye on that), Shaqiri has a good fixture on paper against Costa Rica.
He's their star man, so if he escapes a ban then he's a good bet for a goal and/or assist here.
Missed a penalty against Nigeria, but the Everton man has big moments in him so Iceland will look to him for inspiration against what looks likely to be an under-strength Croatia.
Still a key player for Japan as well as their penalty taker, Kagawa's a relatively cheap option who could cause problems for Poland's shaky-looking defence.
With VAR seemingly resulting in more penalties, it's worth having takers and Jedinak has already scored two for Australia going into a game against Peru they must win.
One of the stars of the tournament so far and therefore superbly priced, although he probably won't find Uruguay to be as obliging opponents as Saudi Arabia and Egypt were.
Nevertheless, he plays on the Monday so at that price he's worth starting with and then substituting out if he doesn't perform.

A simple car accident case involves one injured "plaintiff" who is seeking compensation from one negligent or careless "defendant." Bus accident cases are rarely that simple. There can be multiple at-fault parties who share some degree of responsibility for causing the crash. A complex bus accident case can also involve multiple injured plaintiffs seeking various forms and amounts of compensation. The complexities of a bus accident case can make litigating these cases expensive, especially for defendants who are forced to not only defend themselves against the accusations of the injured plaintiffs but who must also attempt to minimize their own responsibility for the crash by showing how other parties contributed to the accident.
At Zinda Law Group, we are familiar with many of the complexities bus crash cases present. Our goal is to hold those who contributed to your injuries accountable for their negligent and careless actions. We will identify all of the parties who may be at fault for contributing to your injuries. If one or multiple defendants attempt to reach a settlement with you, we can help you evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the offer and decide whether to accept the settlement, reject the settlement, or counter with a settlement proposal of your own.
Multiple Defendants – Who is at Fault?
A city or state government, if a public employee contributed to the accident or the government engaged in particularly troubling behavior such as failing to plow the roads and de-ice them properly after a snowfall event.
Any particular bus accident case may involve multiple defendants who fit into a single category. For instance, multiple parts from multiple manufacturers may have failed and each contributed to your accident: each of the manufacturers can and should be a part of your lawsuit.
What compensation do I expect to win at trial?
How much compensation are the defendants offering me?
What are my odds of winning at trial?
How quickly do I need compensation?
Is the compensation being offered enough to cover my expenses and losses?
Have other injured plaintiffs settled with these defendants? If so, are the terms being offered to me comparable or better than the terms offered to them?
Bus accident lawsuits are complex, but we can help guide you through the process of identifying and bringing suit against all responsible parties and deciding whether to settle your case with some – or all – of the defendants in your case. Contact Zinda Law Group today at (800) 863-5312 to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case.

Due to every single episode of the show so far containing multiple moments of awesome, this page has been split by season.
WARNING: Later episodes may contain unmarked spoilers.
Clark Gregg made such an impact in the MCU, despite playing a supporting role to colorful superheroes, that Coulson's death in The Avengers led to a fan campaign to somehow resurrect the character that actually worked.
Joss Whedon claiming that Disney wouldn't let them show any new clips at Comic-Con...so "all [they could] show" was the entire first episode.
Despite being put in the same time slot as the #1 show on network television, which could make one think this show had been Screwed by the Network, it did well enough to be renewed. That's right: Agent Philip J. Coulson (Team ABC) went 22 rounds with Special Agent Leroy J. Gibbs (Team CBS), and while Coulson lost on points, he managed to avoid a total knockout. note Season 2's time slot was pushed an hour forward in an attempt to change this, but there's now NCIS' New Orleans spin-off to compete with during that time slot. Still not enough to kill Coulson, as Season 3 was greenlit.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. quite possibly made television history by incorporating the major plot twists of Captain America: The Winter Soldier literally a week after the film had its American premiere. When TV shows spawn movies, it often takes a season for any plot developments from the film to make it on to the show (and more often they never really do). AOS actually made people watch Winter Soldier to keep up on the show's plot...or rather, Winter Soldier drummed up so much popularity that it got people to return to the show in droves.
And they pulled it off in reverse in Season 2, where it was Coulson who discovered and told the Avengers where to find Strucker and List, and then revealed that he'd been responsible for providing the Helicarrier that showed up at the climax of the film.
After Marvel announced that they were going to air the teaser trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron during the sixth episode of Season 2 in order to get people to give the show a second chance now that it's improved so much, some jackass decided to leak it online, thus robbing Marvel of this opportunity. However, instead of getting worked up, Marvel responded by jokingly pinning the blame on HYDRA. Then they released the clip properly so fans could watch it with their consent, then promised — and delivered — a different piece of exclusive footage for people to catch at the end of the episode. All in all, while Marvel wants to get people to give their show another chance, they still put their fans first and made the best of a bad situation.
The show went from spending its first season reacting to events in Marvel movie releases to taking a pro-active role in the universe by setting up the introduction of the Inhumans five years before they're due to get their own cinematic outing. Not to mention spending the whole season essentially setting up the opening to Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Many fans would agree that the first episodes of the show are not as strong as what comes later. But if you actually do know the big reveals from the end of Seasons 1 and 2, and then go back to watch them again, you suddenly realize that the writers knew exactly where the show was supposed to go and dropped hints left and right. In addition, a lot of the dialogue suddenly gets an entirely different meaning. Effectively, the writers were trolling the audience and nobody noticed.
A certain someone also isn't too happy about what happened to Tripp.
While Skye and May fighting in S.O.S. is a Tear Jerker to be sure, it has to be appreciated on a meta-level: A couple of episodes prior, Chloe Bennet broke her arm during a fight scene. Here, she is not only once again doing her own stunts, but she is visibly not wearing a cast, having refused to use one. She must be hurting like hell during those takes, but she still makes the fight look perfectly convincing. If that doesn't prove that she's a one-hundred percent badass, then nothing will.
At San Diego Comic Con, they announced that Ghost Rider will appear in season 4!
Boy, that Ghost Rider transformation sequence from season 4 premiere sure was some Visual Effects of Awesome! Pity their SFX budget wouldn't allow them to do that often, right? Wrong! Every episode featuring Ghost Rider contains a badass transformation sequence with the face/skull transition shown in great detail, although in some cases it's not Robbie Reyes who transforms.
The day "Self-Control" released, Marvel decided to show a little spoiler on who is back . Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Brett Dalton is back.
As of "No Regrets," let's add B.J. Britt. #TrippLives indeed.
The most-upvoted thread on the r/arrow subreddit? A picture of the Agents of SHIELD cast.
A somewhat indirect CMoA, but Clark Gregg is going to return to the films as Agent Coulson in 2019's Captain Marvel .
Just the fact that the show has lasted five seasons worth of over 100 episodes (reaching 110 by the end of Season 5) is an impressive feat, and this despite the show not really setting the ratings on fire.
And the fact it got renewed for Season 6! And even better it got renewed for Season 7, even before Season 6 even aired! This now makes it the longest running Mutant Enemy production to air on a single networknote Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired on The WB for its first five seasons, then switched to UPN.

I had the enjoyment to listen to Tracey's webinar last Wednesday. A thousand individuals were on the contact listening to how Tracey Walker has produced over eighteen,000 guests in January just by running a blog. She has constructed a huge get in touch with list and individually sponsored more than 100 people in less then a year in her main business. She exhibits several of her methods live on the call. Also she produced a step-by-stage DVD you can purchase called Be Weblog Savvy.
For you to have your own site, you should first document a domain name and get hosting for that domain. Example: Google.com is a domain name, but you could not use that website if it wasn't hosted somewhere.
Off-web page factors consist of every thing that happens away from your website. Those kinds of things are incoming links, incoming link text, high quality of incoming links, etc. This is the much more difficult component and the one where most individuals fail.
20.Learn the ins and outs about a big community and educate people how to use it successfully, become an expert in that field. For instance, appear at ebay. Even though it may be easy to use to the typical Internet browser, there are still tons of people offline that has no concept about the ins or outs about it. This can be an simple way to make some extra cash. Some offline solutions charge individuals a whopping sum of money just to promote their goods for them on ebay, so that is something for you to think about.
Although you can nonetheless build a website with fundamental HTML, CSS, and PHP knowledge, there are numerous open supply applications that allow you to create a professional website or blog in minutes. These are applications this kind of as WordPress grid themes, Drupal, Joomla, phpbb, Mediawiki, and many others. A great web host will offer some kind of 1-click set up for these programs and programs. Easy Scripts and Fantastico are the most well-liked of these one-click set up programs.
36.Try using Co registration to generate some cash on-line. What this means is that a company or services will spend you cash when you can produce a direct for them. For example, you location a text banner on your site and as soon as the individual clicks they will usually be sent to a type in which they can enter their individual info, and once they have carried out that you get paid out for it. Its obvious that to get people to enter their "personal info" online you must have an incentive offer or duplicate, because people are fearful of spam (i am too). However, this shouldn't discourage you simply because this is very possible though. Some businesses are so great at this that they get individuals to enter their credit card information in the types so thats something to increase your self-confidence.
I am usually browsing about on the internet looking for the subsequent large factor and sometimes I come up with simpler methods to sell ad on my blog. If you roam around on other weblogs you may discover a couple of things that you like and want to get in on that action. Most advertisement has a link that exhibits you were the advertisement block was gotten from so click on the hyperlink if you are curious and want to include some thing similar to your weblog.


Looking for a broadly respectable indie band that will garner you nods of approval when you're in the car and not sure what to put on to please a crowd of music aficionados? Milagres' sophomore album, Glowing Mouth, will definitely get someone in the backseat asking, "Who is this?" And it should come as no surprise that since they're based in Brooklyn, Milagres has hardly escaped a review without being compared to Grizzly Bear, which is far from the worst thing that could happen to a band. Their brand of undeniably easy listening indie is certainly a plus and one worth giving their single "Here to Stay" a listen to. I'll even go so far to bet that you'll want to hear the whole album after.


Vegetables play the main role in our dietary plan and help to support normal function of all our body systems, and there are many benefits of eating vegetables every day. For many people, vegetables are the main sources of vitamins, minerals, carbs, organic elements, essential oils, phytonutrients and so on. However, not everyone of us likes eating vegetables every day: people prefer sweeter and more tasty natural foods – fruit.
At the same time, regular consumption of fresh vegetables improves our digestion and normalizes our intestinal bacterial balance, as well as helps to cleanse our body systems and lower the amounts of toxic elements in it. In addition, vegetables are the most valuable and recommended foods for those people, who need to follow a healthy diet. Other benefits of eating vegetables include their therapeutic properties, such as positive effects on our immune system, and so on. To receive maximum of these effects, fresh vegetables need to cover up at least 20% of your daily diet.
However, eating raw vegetables is not always as useful as it is considered to be. British nutritionists from the Institute of Food Research studied the proprieties of raw and boiled vegetables, and the results came out quite surprising. In particular, they tried to compare the nutrient contents of raw and boiled carrots, spinach, broccoli, tomato, eggplant and potato. It turned out that it is better to digest the beta carotene we receive from boiled carrots than the one that we receive from raw carrots. In addition, boiled carrots have three times more antioxidants.
The same can be said about carotenoids that we receive from boiled spinach and broccoli. 10-30% of these carotenoids can be digested, but only 3-4% of the carotenoids we receive from raw vegetables can be digested. Similarly, we can easily digest the lycopenes we receive from boiled or baked tomatoes than the ones we receive from raw tomatoes. And what about eggplants and potatoes? The nutritionists say that after baking or boiling most of the toxic elements are removed, that is why their nutritional value increases.

Anthony Fauci coronavirus Health masks News Politics Science vaccine mandates
'We're Not Going to Eradicate' the Coronavirus
Jan 14, 2022 Coronavirus, eradicate
Dr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday reemphasized that the world will not "eradicate" the Chinese coronavirus, despite President Biden's previous vow to defeat the virus itself.
He made the remarks during Wednesday's press briefing by the White House COVID-19 Response Team and public health officials, discussing the reduced severity of the omicron variant of the virus.
"So, if we're going to look ahead at what happens when this peaks and it ultimately goes down — as I've said on previous pressers here from the White House: that we're not going to eradicate this," Fauci proclaimed.
"We've only done that with smallpox. We're not going to eliminate that; that only happens with massive vaccination programs like we did with measles and with vaccines. But we ultimately will control it," he said, previewing a world where individuals learn to deal with the virus, yet failing to mention that public health officials have largely made that a difficult feat, given the initial months of lockdowns and subsequent restrictions nearly two years later.
"And if you control it in a way it's at a such a low level, and people are vaccinated and boosted, sooner or later, as we begin to live with it, what she was referring to is that virtually everybody is going to wind up getting exposed and likely get infected," Fauci continued.
"But if you're vaccinated and if you're boosted, the chances of you getting sick are very, very low. That's what she was referring to," he said, referencing remarks from Dr. Janet Woodcock, who spoke at a Senate hearing this week.

Fauci's admission — that the Chinese coronavirus will not be eradicated — follows a confident proclamation from President Biden, who largely touted defeating the virus as a selling point of his presidential campaign.
During a presidential debate in October 2020, Biden famously suggested that President Trump was responsible for 220,000 coronavirus fatalities and sharply asserted that no one "responsible" for that many casualties should remain President of the United States. The number of coronavirus-related fatalities under Biden has far exceeded that, yet he has shown no signs of stepping down. Rather, he, too, is now admitting he will not be able to defeat the virus, despite his pre-presidency confidence.

Top Saudi Diplomat to Israeli Paper: 'Age of War with Israel' Is Over
RYAD KRAMDI/AFP/Getty
TEL AVIV – In a rare interview with a Hebrew-language newspaper, a senior Saudi diplomat said it was time the Arab world realized that the "age of war with Israel" is over.
The diplomat, who declined to be named, slammed the Palestinian leadership for "irresponsibly" panning the Trump administration's long-anticipated peace deal without even seeing it.
"The bloody conflict has dragged on for too long. For us the Saudis, as well as for all the Gulf states, Egypt and Jordan, it is clear that the age of war with Israel has ended and that normalizing relations will only benefit us," he said in interview published in Globes. "The entire Arab world can benefit from this, not only the Palestinians, and of course also [Israel]."
"History and Allah have brought a real opportunity to realize this," he added.
He praised Israel's technological prowess, saying that even those in the Arab world that "hate" Israel look to the Jewish state with "admiration over its success in [technology] and hopes to copy it."
He emphasized Saudi Arabia's deep commitment to the Palestinians but criticized them for hanging onto a victimhood identity.
"Maybe it is hard for them to separate themselves from the portrayal of the eternal victim and they don't believe they can survive without it," he said.
President Donald Trump's so-called deal of the century would bring the Palestinians $50 billion, "sums they never dreamed of," he said.
On Saturday, Palestinian officials denounced the economic portion of the peace plan unveiled by the White House.
According to the diplomat, the peace proposal also includes a vision for Palestinian statehood.
The deal provides a "clear path leading to total Palestinian independence," he said.
He added that even the thorniest issues can be resolved, but the Palestinians are unwilling to accept that.
He acknowledged that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may be the wrong person to be involved in a peace deal.
"We recognize [Netanyahu's] excellent relationship with Trump and with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but it is clear to us that in the Israeli political structure it will be difficult for him to pass a diplomatic plan with the Palestinians," he said.
"We believe that when the time comes for a decision, every Israeli leader, including Netanyahu, will adopt the path of peace, because that is what most Israelis want," he added.
He praised Israel for revealing the danger posed by Iran to the world and lambasted Europe for not understanding that its commercial ties with Tehran "secures funds for terrorism."
The Trump administration, on the other hand, "understands very well what Tehran's goal is."
Riyadh and Washington "have clear evidence that the terrorist attacks against the oil tankers were the work of Iran's Revolutionary Guards."
Iran would not allow the situation to devolve into war, he said, because it has too much to lose.

The 10' ceiling room is 19' x 27' from the wall behind the screen to the wall behind the rear seats and 30' to the entry doors. It is surrounded on three sides by very large attic spaces making it easy for routing cables etc and elimination of sound transfer to the outside. The first seating row is raised 6" and each row after is raised 11". The seats are Berkline 13174 electric recliners from Ultimate Home Entertainment. If you are looking for theatre seats talk to Roman at Ultimate Home Entertainment he will take care of you! These seats are amazingly comfortable!
In the original plan I envisioned a dark "Theatre Red" color scheme. Unfortunately the colors chosen based on the little color cards at Home Depot just didn't work out. It's important to put some thought into your color scheme, make sure the colors you choose are going to come out the way you envision! After the color disaster of the original paint I concluded something more neutral and conservative would make more sense. I have retained the dark red side curtains because they actually don't look too bad. The center speaker below the screen and the gap above the screen are all black grill cloth.
The current color scheme is a medium gray "River Rock" by Ralph Lauren. This paint includes a texture which helps it to diffract light so it's much less reflective than the original puke pink that was on the walls previously. River Rock was not available in flat black unfortunately but ordinary flat black seems flat enough and there is very little reflection from the ceiling. I believe there are paint additives that could be used to attain a similar texture as River Rock which would make an improvement on the ceiling. Below the chair rail I just put a very dark blue also very flat but again not River Rock. Still it has no reflection problems at all. This renovation has improved picture quality due to the significant reduction in tinted stray light, not to mention making the room much more pleasant to look at.

Q: Javascript regex - why is it not working as expected on IE? After loosing much sleep I still cannot figure this out:
The code below (its a simplification from larger code that shows only the problem) Identifies Item1 and Item2 on FF but does not on IE7. I'm clueless.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

	Item1
	Item2

Notes: 1. I know there are better ways to get Item1 and Item2. this example is for showing the Regex problem I'm facing in the simplest way.
2. When I remove the table and /table tags it works.
Thanks in advance

A: Seriously this is horrible. A solution based on getElementById / getElementsByTagName will be considerably more reliable and flexible.
As for the actual problem it's probably because javascript multiline regex support is not x-browser safe and IE in particular has problems. Removing the table declaration will probably force IE to internally format the remaining markup to a single line (=success) where adding it back in will make IE add carriage returns etc (=fail).
I know that you did say you know there are better ways, but you didn't explain why you'd persist with this. Relying on regex and further relying on IE plaintext interpretation of a DOM is going to get you into problems like this. Don't do it.

A: The problem is that JScripts multiline implementation is buggy.  It doesn't allow the any char . to match a newline character.
Use this regex instead:-
 var _pattern = /trash[\s\S]*?]*>([^<]*)<\/font>/gi;

This eliminates . altogether, note [\s\S] is equivalent but will match a new line.
The reason why removing table changes things is the IE's .innerHTML implementation doesn't rely on original markup received.  Instead the markup is created dynamically by examining the DOM.  When it sees a table element it places newlines in the output in different places to than when table is missing.

A: The ending td tags have a character that needs to be escaped: the / slash. I don't know if that is why IE7 is tripping. Safari is okay as tested.
You might want to consider adding an id to the table. Then just iterate through the childNodes of the table only. You would go through a whole lot less HTML on a bigger page and probably conserve memory, too.

A: Try to build your regexp with new RegExp("", "gim"). It's more portable.

Navy cryptology specialist tapped to helm NSA
Vice Admiral Michael S. Rogers is set to become the new director of the National Security Agency, pending Senate confirmation. Would his leadership change the agency's outlook?
Edward Moyer
Jan. 30, 2014 2:33 p.m. PT
Edward Moyer Senior Editor / News
Edward Moyer is a senior editor at CNET News and a many-year veteran of the writing and editing world. He enjoys taking sentences apart and putting them back together. He also likes making them from scratch. ¶ For nearly a quarter of a century, he's edited and written stories about various aspects of the technology world, from the US National Security Agency's controversial spying techniques to historic NASA space missions to 3D-printed works of fine art. Before that, he wrote about movies, musicians, artists and subcultures.
Vice Admiral Michael S. Rogers
It looks like the NSA may soon be in the hands of a Navy officer who specialized in code-making and breaking.
The White House will name Vice Admiral Michael S. Rogers the new director of the National Security Agency, according to The New York Times, which cites unnamed senior officials with the Obama administration. (The Washington Post published a similar report earlier.) Rogers' appointment would be subject to Senate confirmation.
Rogers, presently the Navy's cybersecurity chief, would replace Army General Keith Alexander, who's retiring after eight years as the head of the NSA. Rogers would be stepping into the lead role as the agency faces criticism from the public and from some members of Congress over its controversial surveillance programs.
Rogers, whose career in the Navy spans more than 30 years, started out in the '80s as a surface warfare officer but switched to cryptology, eventually moving into signals intelligence and cyber issues.
In a profile last October, Foreign Policy magazine wondered if he'd have the political chops to calm the current storm surrounding the NSA. The magazine also suggested that the philosophical thrust of the agency might not change so much in the hand-off from Alexander to Rogers.
It quoted retired Admiral Gary Roughead -- chief of naval operations when Rogers was the intelligence director for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, from 2009 to 2011. Roughead said Rogers was a leading advocate of the Navy's idea of "information dominance." Foreign Policy continued, quoting the current "Navy Strategy for Achieving Information Dominance" (PDF):
"Whether characterized as intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, networks, communications, space, cyber, meteorology, oceanography, or electronic warfare, the Navy is inextricably and irreversibly dependent on information," the strategy reads. "Information provides a source of power but can also be an incapacitating weakness if not protected. Mastering the information domain is critical to the Navy's future success."
In that sense, too, [Rogers] is not far apart from Alexander, whose appetite for data is famous -- some would say notorious -- in the intelligence community. Such an expansive view, that effectively sees any and all data as relevant to the NSA's mission, may not meet with the warmest reception as lawmakers debate whether to ratchet down NSA's data collection.
It remains to be seen how the presidential directive announced by Barack Obama during his January 17 NSA reform speech would influence the equation.
Obama said the directive "will strengthen executive branch oversight of our intelligence activities. It will ensure that we take into account our security requirements, but also our alliances, our trade and investment relationships, including the concerns of American companies, and our commitment to privacy and basic liberties."
Obama also said, "America's capabilities are unique, and the power of new technologies means that there are fewer and fewer technical constraints on what we can do.
"That places a special obligation on us to ask tough questions about what we should do."
Senate confirmation hearings on Rogers' appointment could make for some interesting viewing.
Update, 2:52 p.m. PT: The Wall Street Journal reports that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has confirmed the White House's nomination of Rogers.

War! Invasion! Massacre! Betrayal! Mercenaries!The Burning Rose have quite spectacularly failed in their mission to avert a war with an enemy that has a dragon. As a punishment, they are not allowed to take part in the desperate defence of the North against the massive army of fanatics fielded by the Sword Bearers. Instead, they have to journey into a legendary wasteland and find a talisman that can help them defeat the dragon. Without the dragon, it might just be possible to defeat the Nataran army that outnumbers the armies of the North by at least two-to-one.

Online sales in Brazil during the Christmas season, comprising purchases made between November 15 and December 24, are forecast to expand 22% over last year, according to local e-commerce consultancy E-bit.
The estimated growth compares to 41% in 2013. That expansion, however, exceeded E-bit forecasts of 25% growth.
This year, Christmas is expected to generate 5.2bn reais (US$2.08bn) for online retailers, compared to 4.3bn reais in 2013. Some 14.5mn purchases are forecast to be made at an average value of 360 reais – compared to 300 reais last year.
"Despite the current overall low confidence in the economy, e-commerce always grows stronger than other sectors," E-bit director Pedro Guasti said. The reasons for that, he said, are a greater facility to compare prices, more information on products and special promotions.
As in 2013, Guasti projects this week's Black Friday event should encourage some customers to advance Christmas purchases. E-bit projects 1.2bn reais in sales during this year's Black Friday – 56% annual growth.
Top selling products during Christmas are expected to be tablets, laptops, smartphones, TVs, electronics and household appliances, among others.
E-bit predicts e-commerce will post 34.6bn reais in revenues for the full year, up 20% from 2013.


Those words from Dr. Ruben Kalra , a San Francisco Bay Area pain physician whose practice reaches about 25,000 patients every year.
He thinks practicing mindfulness needs to be a bigger part of how physicians treat chronic pain. He and some colleagues studied chronic pain patients and found that doctor-prescribed computerized mindfulness-based interventions (CMBI) earn both a high patient acceptance rate and interest in increasing the use of the therapies.
It is a false preconception among healthcare providers that patients with chronic pain are only interested in opiate therapy, which can be accompanied by significant side effects, increased pain sensitivity and even death.
Computerized mindfulness-based interventions can be easily accessed and utilized have a high interest rate among patients with chronic pain.
Dr. Kalra and his colleagues have formed WellBrain, a physician created and managed company. Partnering with a former Buddhist monk of 2 years, the company developed a personalized mindfulness meditation program for the doctor's office.
Don't think of this as an anti-opiate approach.
Carla, I've seen people who have RSD for more than 15 yrs combine eastern and western medicine. Then slowly ween off the narcotics that cause our Glial cells to keep multiplying and telling our bodies that our pain is getting worse. That's why the need to change up, increase dosages or add breakthrough meds are needed. That's why the western medical community uses snake venom (prialt in pain pump) and the famous Ketamine Infusion Therapy. What many of us do not know is they make ketamine troches. So as doctors ween us they can use holistic ( eastern ) medicine and things like ketamine infusion to start then the troches then all holistic with ketamine combination cream.
I know in Ohio, the Cleveland Clinic has an intense daily program that you go to all day. They use multiple disciplinary techniques to get chronic pain patients off narcotics. They involve your family for counseling as well. I've seen it work about 40% of the time. The patients who have RSD/CRPS still have some form of muscle relaxer and in some cases antidepressant and the ketamine cream.
There's a boon out that someone mentioned in another comment called Pain-Wise A Patient's Guide To Pain Management by: Kloth,Trescot and Riegler. It should, in my opinion, be every pain patient's or patient's loved ones's "bible". I'm not a doctor or nurse but I was in the medical profession until this disease robbed me of my life. So I started fighting back. I help with a local support group. My administrators had to step up because my health deteriorated and I'm ambassador for US Pain Foundation. The key to healthy change is education. We are educating our first responders and hospitals here. Next is pharmacies. If all of us just talk to 1 person we can make a major change.
When you go to your local library and look for books for your disease such as RSD. If they do not have any listed, go on the computer there, go to Amazon and search for RSD/CRPS. See what interests you. Click on that book so you can see everything such as the numbers and author etc. Make a copy or write it down. Most libraries allow so many free copies daily. Then take it to the person in charge and kindly ask if they can see if they can get those books in. Mine has more now. They didn't have any. It's worth a shot. Education is the key to East meets West. Everyone is different so your treatment plan will also be different. Hopefully it will be so very much better. With the East you are taking control of your pain!!!
I just ordered one of the books. Communicating to your pain doctor.
I am looking forward to reading this because it was written by a Pain Specialist that has great looking credentials.
What about people with chronic pain who have been using opioid therapy for 10+ years?
What is the plan for them? Possibly mindfulness therapy in addition to opioids? How does one just stop opioids? They are quite successful for bringing pain levels down and allowing people to live a better life, side effects and all. I tried mind techniques, audio relaxation tapes and imagery when I was first diagnosed but they were not nearly as effective as opioids in my case.
If the CDC wants to pull pain patients off opioids they need to spell out how to go about this and they need to fund it too. Otherwise, how will there be successful outcomes?
I found this doctor and this article interesting. I did have a few concerns I'd wish were more clarified, for instance, although I also agree that patients definitely want more than just pills…I'm not sure the sequencing is a one size fits all type of plan. I know he says the CDC advises doctors to use other therapies first, (of course they would!), but have you ever sit at a computer in pain? Or tried to relax in severe pain? Perhaps a better plan, especially for some one in an acute flare of their pain would be a simultaneous use of medications to dull the pain enough for the patient to be able to participate and use the other therapies without their poor comfort ,evel intjerfering. There is a hierarchy of needs to be met before we can learn, and pain can really interfere with achieving the necessary steps. I have always felt doctors who only used prescriptions, i.e.medications, were not my best choice. Yet I do not want doctor who won't prescribe medications when needed, along with other therapies. It would be nice to have an article outlining exactly what mindfulness therapy means….a concise definition and examples. I'm assuming I understand all that he is talking about but I don't know for certain….does imagery fits into this or also relaxation techniques, and special pain relaxation techniques like I've used before with an audio tape, or music therapy and distraction therapy. The more precise information we have, the better able we are to see if this is something we'd like to try.

Use BigDecimal.
Use toFixed to set precision after the decimal point. It doesn't matter how large the number is before the decimal point. For normal decimal formatting, this is your best option. It doesn't matter how large the number is before the decimal point.
Perform input validation by making sure that the user enters a positive integer number for feet, a nonnegative decimal number for inches, and a positive decimal number for weight. See the sample session for details. In particular, note the format for the echo-printed height and weight values and for the generated body-mass-index value.


A woman whose beloved dog was rescued from a drain by three boys has described them as her "little angels".
Joanne Tromans' six-year-old miniature Yorkshire Terrier Ted went missing last Thursday, but was found three days later down a drain by pals Charlie Hutchinson, aged five, Daniel Quayle, 12, and Harley Crossley, eight, who live nearby.
The boys' primary school in Illingworth, Halifax, will hold a special assembly on Monday with Ted in recognition of their heroics.
Joanne, 53, who lives in Illingworth, said: "Charlie went to get a bigger boy to help him, and they went down to get him. They're my little angels.
"I was on the verge of not wanting to live anymore, it was that bad.
"Thirty years ago, I had a dog that was stolen and I never got over it, so I thought it was happening again.
"My dogs are my life. I'm not working at the moment due to illness, and they're the only thing that keeps me going.
"I lost a dog in October, he was older. But I was absolutely devastated about Ted," she added.
Joanne added: "He's got his own little character. He's a miniature but he thinks he's a bigger dog, so he'll go barking at bigger dogs.
"I can't believe I couldn't hear him making a racket where he was.
