"Just moved to a new city and wanted calling cards to share new information. Also added a list of my 12 favorite books to the back of the card being a bibliophile and often meeting with other book lovers. Lots of compliments on these sweet and fun cards!"
"I am so happy with the way my cards turned out. I did not want to put a logo or photo on the back of the card so Customer Service walked me thru the process to request additional text on the back side of the card. Arrived very quickly. Thanks so much!"
"I used the red for a bold pop of color. Love how the card stands out in a group of other people's cards. VERY pleased with this and highly recommend based on quality and creative design."
"I am happy with my business cards. This is my 2nd time ordering my design. The only thing I would 'tweak' a bit is to have the font a bit larger. Other than that, these cards are lovely & the customer service is superb!"
"I love these cards they are exactly what I was looking for and the process was easy with wonderful customer service and prompt processing and shipping!"

When Rick Lujan first purchased this '67 Chevelle it had nowhere near the radiant red hue it possesses in the pictures you see before you.
"When I got it in Florida three years ago, the car was black and very stock looking," said Lujan. "I thought, what should I do with it, keep it stock or modify the car?"
There's nothing wrong with a clean stock Chevelle, but to many in the congregation, it's sort of like looking at a stripper in a pantsuit. "Since it wasn't a numbers-matching car, I decided to go the restomod route and look into a motor swap," Rick recalled.
Geddes Racing stepped up with a few options such as a 427, a 454 or a 496. A 496? Rick hadn't thought about this option before. In this case, we're not talking about the 8.1-liter big-block used in trucks and U-Hauls. Still, Rick's Red Sled has the same displacement as your getaway truck after all those midnight moves in college. Only this Chevelle is about two tons lighter and hauls butt, not cheap furniture.
When Lujan's mechanic, Angelo Geddes, told him that he could squeeze 600 or 700 hp from pump gas from the big stroker, his response was, "No way!" But Angelo convinced him, "Yes way!" While he went about the arduous task of creating a rather awesome naturally-aspirated Rat on steroids, Lujan and his crew got to work on the body. In case we didn't mention it, Lujan runs a body shop in Colorado Springs called Black and White Auto Body and by the look of the svelte Chevelle's lines, he knows what he's doing.
"I wondered what color to paint it at first," said Lujan. "I thought about silver or green but it came down to Redline Red Hot Hues from DuPont. We took the car apart and painted the interior and the firewall and everything so you couldn't tell what the previous color was."
The previous color of the hood was actually white. It's a fiberglass unit with a cowl needed to clear the bigger motor. Actually, a stock hood could clear the big-block if it wasn't for the high-rise single-plane intake manifold and one-inch phenolic spacer.
"This keeps the intake cooler and adds more plenum volume," said Geddes. "We did some testing with this and it added significant power." Geddes has built this displacement motor many times before. "It's a popular application because you can use a stock block and an aftermarket stroker kit," Geddes said. "I've put it in boats, trucks, you name it."
One of the determining factors in the motor reaching its stratospheric power levels is the cylinder head and camshaft. In this case, the CNC'd BMF 330 cylinder heads and 254/260 custom ground cam aren't the most extreme set up available. If it's making 722hp on the dyno now, you can only imagine it with the more aggressive cylinder head/cam combo. One advantage to the cam is that it's totally civil.
Once Lujan and crew got the motor in, they knew it was time for a set of stoppers. "At first I had some plain Jane discs up front and stock drums out back," said Lujan. "Wrestling that thing down from 100mph or so was pretty sketchy so we decided to upgrade in that department."
Of all the modern equipment on this resto-mod, the 13-inch cross-drilled and slotted rotors with two-piston calipers among the most important. They're the sleek cue that under the classic exterior brews something sinister and mechanically maniacal. Baer is a name synonymous with stopping power and in this case they do just that, be it bringing the car down from triple digit speeds or halting Super Chevy contributors dead in their tracks. Which is how we found Rick's rod at a Goodguys show in Loveland, Colorado, last summer.
"It's great to build these big, powerful cars, but if you're not able to stop them it's useless," said Lujan.

i believe devean george has or will sign with the celtics.
Flip Murray, or Ricky Davis and were good.
Yeah just about to say Murray was on the verge of signing with us but bolted last second.
Yeah still can't believe they matched us lol. Doesn't make any logical sense.
Crazy bastards
No ,if Evans would of signed we would of got Bookie!
I totally agree, freakin' Mo Evans, we'd basically be rewarding him for screwing us over
Couldn't it be traced back to Childress, actually?
Wasn't Jackson suspended for a gun problem or something thugish?

A couple of years ago, Bebionic gave us a peek at what the future of prosthetic limbs might look like. Now the company has improved the device's design and function and the result is simply astounding.
The Bebionic3 is a myoelectric prosthetic hand that uses residual neuro-muscular signals from your muscles to operate a number of precise functions. To see the hand in action is to immediately recall the scene in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in which Luke Skywalker examines his new robotic hand after losing it to Darth Vader. The hand is about as realistic and functional as the one in the film, with the ability to write with pen, delicately hold glasses and bottles, and even crack eggs.
Featuring a range of 14 hand positions and grips, the Bebionic3 is also offered with a skin-tone glove that approximates the appearance of a real hand. You can see patient Nigel Ackland using the Bebionic3 prosthetic hand in the video below.

There are bionic arms and brain-machine interfaces in development even more advanced than this.
Then there is the DARPA (DoD mad science lab) project that would allow the salamander-like re-growing of limbs after amputation. It entered Phase 2 development last year after new limb buds were grown on small mammals.

For irrigation, germination or propagation and used in an inverted position, the low flow application rate micro sprayer is a complete assembled unit that includes an 18 GPH micro sprayer with black nozzle, anti leak device, 12" micro tubing, weight and barb. Designed to irrigate or propagate in greenhouse benches and beds in inverted position, these units provide the added benefit of keeping the benches clear of lateral pipes and prevent damage to the micro sprayers by any machinery being used. The completely assembled unit includes an anti-leak device that prevents dripping at the end of the irrigation cycle and keeps the lateral lines under pressure at all times, saving water and fertilizer that would otherwise be wasted as water drains the line.
Micro sprinklers hanging upside down from the ceiling are a concept that offers a very efficient way to water and can be designed for almost any bench width. This inverted, hanging method of watering prevents wetting the supply line, which when soaked can cause drip damage to the plant below. The anti-leak device prevents the micro sprinkler from draining the supply line at the end of the irrigation cycle. Another feature of inverted micro sprinklers is that a stabilizer weight maintains the sprinkler in perfect position relative to the bench. In addition, there are no micro sprinkler heads to trip over, providing a safer and more efficient working environment.
In this category we have selected two models of micro sprinklers from two manufactures with four flow rates and two configurations.
The micro sprayers provided by The Drip Store are suitable for all applications in the irrigation of seedlings, germination and propagation in benches or for row plantings in greenhouses applications. Used in an upright position with low application rate, the 360-degree micro sprayers have excellent uniformity under a wide range of pressures using a triangular or rectangular spacing layout.
For detailed information and installation instructions see our Micro Irrigation for Professional Greenhouses and NurseriesTutorial for Greenhouses section.

Strategy for Sustainability [Giveaway]
We're giving away a copy of this book to one commenter below, so make sure to comment with a valid email before midnight on Friday, July 24, 2009.*
Harvard Business Press was kind enough to provide a copy of Adam Werbach's much anticipated book called Strategy for Sustainability: A Business Manifesto, which is definitely worth grabbing. Werbach is a polarizing figure in the environmentalist world, and I guess you could say the debate centers upon his strategy to "work with rather than against large corporations." There are environmentalists that absolutely abhor corporations, but there are also environmentalists that try to change the world through corporations. Werbach aligns himself with the latter and provides his sustainable strategy for doing so in this new book.

My reasoning is that as soon as they drop the price, they need to cut things out of the system to make up the difference. That would fragment the market like the Core system did with the 360.
A fragmented market is ass.
But **** logic right, and immediately jump to me being a fanboy. Real mature of you.
Or they could sell at more of a loss.... like they did with the 360.

The genteel agricultural town of Windsor was chosen by Charles Inglis, first overseas Bishop of the Anglican Church, over the larger military centre and colonial capital of Halifax (60 km to the southeast) so "...that it be well away from taverns and houses of ill fame,".
In April 1789, King George III gave Royal Assent to the establishment of King's Collegiate School, as well as to the establishment of the University of King's College - the first such honour to be bestowed upon any school in the British Empire. It is also claimed that Prince Edward, Duke of Kent took an interest in King's Collegiate School and University of King's College while stationed in Halifax as Commander-in-Chief, British North America.
In June 1890, the Anglican Diocese of Nova Scotia decided to establish a girl's school in Windsor to complement King's Collegiate School. Edgehill School opened in January 1891 and construction of a new building to house the new girls began in the following June.
In 1923 a disastrous fire swept through the campus causing irreparable damage to the main university buildings. With the encouragement of the Carnegie Foundation, which was promoting the consolidation of all Nova Scotian post-secondary institutions to Halifax around a nucleus formed by Dalhousie University, the University of King's College received funds to move into a newly built campus in Halifax. King's College remains an independent university, although its students enjoy affiliation privileges with Dalhousie. Its campus is located at the corner of Oxford Street and Cobourg Road, occupying the northwest corner of Dalhousie's Studley Campus.
Both King's Collegiate School and the newer Edgehill School remained on the Windsor campus and eventually expanded to include much of the 65 acre site, therefore better hosting the athletic tournaments which take place every year. In 1976 the governing bodies of both schools decided to amalgamate, and King's-Edgehill School was born.
In the past five years there have been major renovations of the school, ranging from the addition of a floor to the girls dormitory to the construction of the Ted Canavan Athletic Centre (opened in 2005), complete with a pool, double gym and well-equipped exercise facilities. The Fountain Performing Arts Centre was also completed recently to host musical performances and concerts.

The Carillon Beach Farmers Market begins at 8 a.m. and vendors are invited to stay through the evening, as the area hosts a free "Groovin' on the Green" concert series every Monday from 7-9 p.m.
"It gets busy on Monday nights, so we thought it would be good to have something in the morning to get everything going," Mayer said.
The plan is to host the market through Sept. 2, but the Mayers hope to extend it through the fall if possible. Mayer said the market has been well-received so far, with 16 vendors signed up to sell their goods.
"Everyone here is very family-oriented and very supportive," Mayer said. "It's a tight-knit community."
About 10 vendors lined the plaza Monday morning, including Carden and his vending partner Dawn Stewart.
In addition to biscuits, the duo specializes in a variety of baked goods including banana nut, zucchini and pumpkin
"We're happy with it so far—I think it's got potential," Carden said from behind a table of saran-wrapped treats. "I'd like to see them go on and continue into the fall with the snowbirds here. The snowbirds made the Grand Lagoon Market last fall."
For many of the vendors, the Carillon market offers another opportunity to sell their goods in the area, in addition to farmers markets in Grand Lagoon and Lynn Haven.

raisindot wrote:Well, that's what Allison sez, anyway. We'll really never know the truth because the producers of "The Tudors" aren't going to make up a follow up miniseries about Elizabeth (just not enough sex, I suppose).
You ARE kidding aren't you? She almost certainly wasn't a physical virgin and with blokes like Thomas Seymour, the Earls of Leicester and Essex, to name just a few world class chancers/adventurers sniffing around her she probably didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of at the least avoiding a bloody good groping if nothing else
Thomas Seymour is my best bet on the deed - so much so that his big brother had him executed 'cos he knew that if he married Elizabeth (after his wife Catherine Parr - previously Henry VIII's widow - died of infection after giving birth to her first child) their nephew King Edward VI's sickly tenure on the throne might soon have become conveniently fatal in favour of the then 20 year old Elizabeth who had certainly had a whopping crush on Thomas as she (and sister Mary for a while) stayed with Catherine Parr after her father died...
BTW- Thanks for pointing out the incomplete quote although I'm fine if you just show the relevant part you're attacking/commenting on unexpigated
Anyway - enough of the Tudors except I think that Elizabeth makes a pretty savvy Polly/Jackrum role model. The Duchess is definitely a Queen Victoria with her withdrawal from her generals, priests and people after the premature death of her husband as Vicky did when her husband (but only Consort not co-Monarch) Prince Albert died

What is the difference between happiness and satisfaction?
As I wonder every time about the philosophy of life, the question that make me think again and again that a man having satisfaction of particular thing is a happy? or can happy man considered as fully satisfied? Or happiness and satisfaction are the two sides of coins?
Oct 12 2013: Satisfaction is when you have the answer of your question. Happiness is when you have no more questions.
Y Li
Oct 14 2013: Dear Pabitra, I like your brief reply to that question very much, but would like to clarify it if you don't mind:
- +1
Satisfaction is when you have the solution to your problem. Happiness is when you have no more problems, temporarily of course.
Because the answer to one's question may not satisfy one, while humans are curious and always have questions which may not make them unhappy. On the other hand, problems do make humans unsatisfied and unhappy.
Oct 15 2013: Dear Y Li,
Thanks. Happiness comes after asking many questions, whether or not one gets all the answers is immaterial. Happiness comes when human mind realizes that its natural make up is one of curiosity and inquisitiveness and its natural tendency is to seek solutions of problems. With that realization the mind makes peace with its own restlessness and starts to love the grand drama of life without any more question. That's how one becomes happy I guess. Funnily, at this stage one bothers little about happiness :)Oct 15 2013: So, why have questions?.. Good question, huh?Oct 15 2013: Does this mean that peope who do not have questions, ambitions, or desires are happy?
I have a son in elementary school. He is rarely upset by anything or anyone. Teachers and peers love him - he is never aggressive. He causes no trouble. He rarely shows desire to join games with other children or to play with toys other kids play with. He rarely asks questions. He seems to be always happy...
He has autism. He can lay on his back on the floor for hours happily watching a spinning wheel on a toy. This is the primary source of sorrow and worry in our family. We feel sorry for him and worry that he will be very unhappy when he grows up, different from other people. He often puts on clothes inside-out, often cannot match buttons to the holes on his shirt. We worry that he will not be able to take care of himself when he grows up.
But... he is NEVER upset by any of this! Really, why is putting on a shirt or socks inside out such a big deal? Whose problem is it? His or ours? Are we sorry for him or for ourselves? Shall we strive to help him have desires and ambitions, like other people? Or shall we "accept reality" as is and focus on our own happiness instead?
Can you call unhappy a person who is unaware of his unhappiness?
For me, this is the point when I realize that I ask too many questions to which there are no answers. Therefore, there is no sense even asking these questions. "Funnily, at this stage one bothers little about happiness :)" Now, that I realize all of this, am I happy? This one last standing question ruins my enlightenment. But, funnily, I don't care much about this philosophy. There is enough stuff to care about.
The question "am I englightened yet?" is funny. If I ask it, then, obviously, not.
Oct 16 2013: Dear Arkady,
I shall attempt to reply to your comment in two parts, hoping you will not necessarily make any connection between the parts, other than what is intended.
First, I strongly believe Autism is not a disorder, it is a difference. There is no primacy of the social and educational learning order we have created. An autistic child's brain processes information differently from others in the context of defined learning. The pervasive silliness to define happiness and fulfillment in life makes it more difficult for them.
Second, in my opinion being unaware of happiness is true and lasting happiness. That you do not care about the philosophy and feel that there is enough stuff to care about is a perfect philosophical stand.
The happiness that I am talking about happens when a mind stops asking questions not because there is no sense in asking them but there is more sense in not asking them. That leaves one's mind with time and space for contemplation.
"Does this mean that people who do not have questions, ambitions, or desires are happy?"
Yes they are but only after asking many questions, having many ambitions or desires. If you have time you can check Mani Lal Bhaumik out and read his book, 'Code Name : God'.
Oct 16 2013: Thanks. I agree with what you say. Not because it is true or makes sense. Much of philosophy is not about truth - it's about point of view. Two people may look at the same thing and have radically different perceptions, both true, correct, and reasonable in their own way. I noticed that most arguments about philosophy and religion are of this nature. So, when I say that I agree, it simply means that we perceive these issues similarly.
Re: "The happiness that I am talking about happens when a mind stops asking questions not because there is no sense in asking them but there is more sense in not asking them. That leaves one's mind with time and space for contemplation."
IMO, it makes sense to ask philosophical questions, but most of them have no sensible answer. They are not for answering, but for contemplation. They are, usually, multifaceted. The goal is to see as many facets as possible. When one thinks he has an answer to a philosophical question, it means he sees only one facet. Perhaps, it's better to say, "there is more sense in not answering them".Oct 16 2013: Yes it is better to say: there is more sense in not answering them. We are almost in the same page Arkady, certainly in the same chapter. Cheers! :)Oct 10 2013: Happiness is a state of "Mind", where as Satisfaction is the absence of "want." Can you be happy and yet not satisfied? Yes you can. In a case of extreme poverty one can be happy and at the same time desire to want to improve ones condition. By the same token, satisfaction can be attain without being happy.
We see this every day, where a wealthy person has everything money can buy, but is still not happy. You sometimes wonder why, since "happiness" is a state of mind, why more people are not happy and since the rich are far less in number than the middle range income and poverty level or the homeless.
Happiness is also an emotion, were as satisfaction is not. You can choose to be happy regardless of your material attainment in life. Your belief system plays a enormous role in emotional well being. If you believe "less" is more, then happiness can be manifested in ones life without wealth.

Oct 25 2013: Both "satisfaction" and "happiness" are subjective and limited by our experience, upbringing, values and consciousness. The difference seems to be in degrees: I am satisfied after a good meal but the ice cream in the end makes me happy. But if I haven't had water for a long time, getting water makes me satisfied but if the water is chilled it makes me happy. I am satisfied with my work of art but happy when someone else also appreciated it.

Oct 17 2013: What is the difference between happiness and satisfaction?
- +4
Satisfaction is having an orgasm, happiness is having it with someone you love.
Oct 25 2013: Good explanation.
Oct 11 2013: Wow. Such a good question. Thanks for let me think about new one...
- +4
For me, I think the main difference between happiness and satisfaction is that it is related with others or me, myself.
First, happiness is more related with others who care about me and whom I care about. People surrounding me makes me FEEL sth like happy, excited, sad, annoying, frustrated but after all, Happy! :) Also, I am pretty sure I never feel happy without SOMEONE not something.
The next precious feeling, satisfaction, I think, comes from ourselves, from our own mind. It is more about our ego. When we feel satisfaction, that means that reached our own goal or own ideal criteria. And that have few relations with others.
For example, when I am in lonely situation or spending quiet and slow sunday in my town, I am able to satisfy with a hot bagel with blueberry cream cheese and a cup of coffee. However, it might be hard to feel happy, because I have no one to share my thoughts and feelings.
Taniya Singh
Nov 8 2013: I think happiness is a result of many different feelings such as appreciation, curiosity, connection, learning new things, etc. Satisfaction is also one of those feelings that results in happiness but is not happiness itself. Satisfaction builds upon itself and hopefully when a person is doing their best and reaching their goals, they are becoming more and more satisfied. However, in my opinion, a person should be happy but never be satisfied. Accept that your life is going well right now, and accept the state of life in which you're at (regarding work, relationships, school, etc.). But don't be satisfied and just stop there. Keep improving, while staying happy.

Nov 7 2013: Happiness seems to me like a deeper feeling than just satisfaction. Happiness is probably also more permanent than satisfaction. Happiness is a general state of mind while satisfaction is more in the moment.
- +3
Nov 9 2013: Sometimes I just have to laugh. Somewhere else it is stated just the exact oppisite of what you are saying short of your reference to a general state of mind and no one is correct or in error. What I find amusing is we are asked a question in which we are asked to interpet forms (plural) of the abstaractions happiness and satisfaction and there is so much diversity in the interpetations. I like the idea of happiness being a state of mind and I believe it to be our natural state or at least mine.Nov 7 2013: Satisfaction is to achieve something that was expected and for some people, sometimes satisfaction leads to happiness. Satisfaction is normally achieved when something is finished, but happiness is a feeling that can be enjoyed "during the process of achieving something"; happiness is finding pleasure in simple things, in other words, is to enjoy life. When we are hungry we eat and when you finish, you feel satisfied; but the feeling is totally different when we add some friends, favourite wine or music to this "dinner"... you appreciate every moment and even the food tastes better! I strongly believe that people who know how to value this "little things" that life allows us to add, are happier! Hapiness is CARPE DIEN, is enjoying every single moment in this long process that life is!
Nov 10 2013: Ah, the little things. You have brought to mind the importance of the little things. They are the adornments on the Christmas Tree that brighten life and bring happiness. I know your happy because that's what you teach.
Paul Clamar
Oct 27 2013: As for me, this is how i would define it :
- +3
Happiness is somehow short-lived and intense, while satisfaction is longer-lived and smoother. Tied to each other in most cases, they define different states.
Happiness will bring high emotional activity and bursts of huge reactions, which can fall off quite suddenly. Satisfaction will bring a calm, peaceful and savoured feeling of achievement, which fall off more slowly.
I consider satisfaction to be a deeper but smoother feeling than happiness, which doesn't mean it would be weaker. Satisfaction can slowly or quickly activate or support the growth of intense emotions such as happiness. It catalyzes them and goes along with them.
As for me, i consider that satisfactions sustainability makes this feeling somehow more powerful than happiness.
Nov 4 2013: I like this explanation!Oct 10 2013: When I struggle to see the difference between similar words, I often times find it useful to look towards associated words to more fully flesh out my conception. I would say that satisfaction, as a word and concept, is related to fulfillment. It requires that one feels as if an act/event/period has been appropriately finished, preferably successfully and to completion (though I am not sure that either is required). Happiness, on the other hand, is closer to joy. Thus, it is more free-form and less defined. Perhaps it would be useful to put it more concretely (though my example obviously requires subjective adjustments); one can feel fulfilled (but might not) after painting a beautiful field of flowers, but one can feel happy (but might not) sitting in that field. On a personal level, I find that happiness makes me feel as if I would like to move and laugh without reason, while fulfillment leads to me sitting down with a grin.

Nov 8 2013: To me satisfaction is something you get from both short and long term pleassures.
- +2
Happiness is love, it comes from within yourself. And is forever if you choose to be happy. What happens is that many people doesn't realize they're happy because we are always thinking in: when this happens I'll be happy or I was happy when I was doing ...x..... long story short we don't live in the present.
We need to live right here right now and be thankful for everything we have and aware of all the blessings the universe
sends us. They can come disguise as bad events but in fact they're positive because is a lesson to learn!.
So, happiness is NOW!
Nov 9 2013: Yes, Happiness and satisfaction or indeed two different things. Ex: you can satisfy your hunger with some food that may not taste good. After you satisfy your hunger, you may still be very unhappy.
I would go to the extent of saying that happiness is internal in your heart with no conditions, where as satisfaction pre-supposes a necessary requirement that has to be bet for achieving satisfaction.Nov 10 2013: The simple truth is just that, the simple truth.Nov 8 2013: Happiness is the temporary feeling you get when you make a choice that you don't regret.
Satisfaction is the long term feeling you get once that choice has set.
Nov 9 2013: You inspired me to think and I can't disagree but when when look at a choice I do not regret having made will not happiness follow it and set with it or will the feeling be different?
Nov 9 2013: It will be different. That, Larry, is satisfaction.Nov 8 2013: In my humble opinion...
Happiness is a choice,
and satisfaction is the feeling one gets when one makes peace with that choice.
Nov 9 2013: If happiness is a choice what is my other choice?Nov 7 2013: To me happy is a more absolute state of mind, and feels stronger then satisfaction. Satisfied maybe is 'enough', happy might be 'very good'.
If back in school my score was a 6 out of 10 I would be satisfied. Enough to get to the next round. If I had a 9 out of 10, I would be happy, and reason to celebrate my 'outstanding' result.
But it's maybe a question of linguistics. English is not my mother tongue, so I might have a different perception of these two words, and in other cultures people might have different words with different weights to the the words. Like inuits have so many ways to describe snow, there might be so many more words to describe this feeling of well being?
In dutch the translation for satisfied is 'voldaan' which literaly translates back to something like 'fully done' (correct me if i'm wrong ;)) which implies there is nothing more you can wish for, so in dutch maybe a slightly stronger weight to this particular word then the english 'satisfied'..
In the end both are positive and I would rather place both on the same side of the coin you described.
cheers and I wish you a happy day!
Nov 10 2013: You are bright in your understanding of words. I like the Dutch translation for satisfied but I would like to add more weight. There is nothing more you can wish for or ever was we have been given everything in our creation and time and understanding reveal that. I would like to leave you this quote:
I sought for many things, and found despair. Now do I see but
one, for in that one is all I need, and only what I need. All that I
sought before I needed not, and did not even want. My only need I
did not recognize. But now I see that I need only truth. In that all
needs are satisfied, all cravings end, all hopes are finally fulfilled and
dreams are gone. Now have I everything that I could need. Now
have I everything that I could want. And now at last I find myself at
peace.Oct 14 2013: For me, Happiness is a state of being or mind. It can be brief, but it can also be the "constant," the underlying state that I return to from brief upsets that manifest as sadness/grief/anger and the like. Satisfaction is connected to an act: if I do a task to the best of my ability, I feel satisfied. If I perform a service to someone that makes me feel useful, I feel satisfied. Sometimes that satisfaction is strong enough to alter my state of being to happiness (if I wasn't there already) and sometimes it is not. But satisfaction is always short-lived, because it's connected to a specific act.
Efiong Etuk
Oct 11 2013: At some level, happiness and contentment are two sides of the same "coin" -- contentment! Satisfaction denotes "enoughness." Happiness expresses the attainment of that goal.Oct 11 2013: The problem is in language. Happiness and satisfaction are personal. If you ask if I am happy or satisfied and I say that I am, you still have no Idea what I am actually feeling. All you know is that I am feeling something and I call that feeling happiness or satisfaction. Unless you ask me further questions, or I explain myself, we cannot come any closer to understanding. And my explanation may actually convince you that what I feel isn't happiness or satisfaction at all, but something you would name differently.
- +2
I would frame the idea this way. All human choice, all human action, is an attempt to have our needs met. Sometimes we chose in healthy, life affirming ways that are supportive of our relationships with others. Sometimes we behave in ways that are self- or other-destructive. To the degree that our actions lead to the meeting of our needs we may be satisfied and happy. To the degree that our actions are unhealthy and destructive we may feel that satisfaction and happiness diminished, even counteracted. In any case, we are never fully satisfied nor completely happy. We are simply too complex for that; and the idea of complete satisfaction and happiness suggests that we have stopped interacting with ourselves and the world, stopped having needs, and stopped encountering even the smallest conflict.Nov 9 2013: Be satisfied brings happiness(知足者常乐)。It is an old saying from China.
Nov 9 2013: Yes and happiness brings satisfaction.
Lexi Diamond
Nov 8 2013: I am I certain situations happy. Happy for me is an emotion and all emotions are temporary. When I am happy, I have a hard time enjoying it because I know something will happen to make me unhappy. Satisfaction can be applied with a longer time frame though it is not necessarily perfect. Both satisfaction and happiness are based on comparisons of previous experiences. If you want to be happy, you must be happy in the MOMENT! that is the only true way to be happy. Let go all your worries or fears and just be yourself. Its not that easy to let go (especially when you have a reputation to uphold) but if you can let go, you will experience true, albeit temporary, happiness

Nov 10 2013: Just be yourself and that is the journey. Thank you for that.Nov 8 2013: Happiness comes from the heart. satisfaction is simple logic
Nov 10 2013: I don't care where or how I get it only that I get it. Wherever we get it from is cool as long as the source is wholesome.Nov 8 2013: At the risk of sounding crude, happiness is the orgasm, satisfaction is lying together afterwards. At first, happiness sounds like the thing to get, but once you've been around a while, you understand that satisfaction is what lasts and what really keeps things going.
Nov 10 2013: Bryan, I can tell by your words you have woke up in situations wishing you were somewhere other than where you have found yourself and there is no satisfaction in lying there? Let's not talk about that although it's all part of the deal.
Sara Hakimi
Nov 8 2013: Happiness is a myth, at best a short lived phase or moment. Contentment, which I assume is synonomous with satisfaction in the context of your question, is submitting or surrendering to life. Your life.
- +1
Nov 9 2013: In my experience I have come to understand the principle of Surrender. There are terms I became aware of after the fact. The terms are complete and unconditional. Total submission of my will to an unknown source. That does not happen all at once I am given time to comply. Are you happy, pleased, joyous, contented, satisfied with your surrender? These labels to describe the faceless, nameless unknown source of your gift of life always seem to fall short. If they are if fact dreams of myth and illusion I will take them over a my self orchestrated nightmare anyday.Nov 7 2013: i think happiness comes from a deep seated/innate contentedness with yourself, your place in the universe. its acceptance. Satisfaction has a sense of "ok for now". But still wanting more - not entirely happy or accepting.
Nov 10 2013: I simply love your silhouette image next to your name. I can relate to the still wanting more and my problem with that is when I get more I still what more, more, more. In contrast to that I have found a solution and peace.Nov 7 2013: Shrinath, If you are looking for differences between happiness and satisfaction you certainly have found them in the responses. If you want similarities you will find them. You will always find what you're looking for. The search is fueled by what you want and we always get what we want so I must try to be mindful. If I look past the differences I can see both joined by the principle of Unity. Bound by Unity they work together as one. One does not conflict with itself, there is nothing to clash with. The answer is yours. How would you like your happiness/satisfaction fragmented or whole? I'll have mine whole w/cheese and hold the pickle. Must be lunchtime? Larry
Oleg ZhuK
Nov 7 2013: As for me, happiness is much more wider. Happiness is the feeling, when absolutely everything is in harmony. And satisfaction is just a performing of one or two your desires, or satisfaction after performing a good job.
- +1
Well, happiness is better, I thinkOct 27 2013: Happiness is what most seek as a quest, Satisfaction is what one is gifted without seeking.Oct 15 2013: Satisfaction is knowing that you have successfully completed a job. If you are a soldier and have killed another human should you be happy about it?
If a doctor does a text book operation and loses the patient ... he is satisfied he did his best but certainly not happy.
Thus happiness and satisfaction can be apples and apples or it can be apples and oranges .... why do we have to chose when the circumstances will decide.
I wish you well. Bob.Oct 14 2013: Perhaps, happiness can be defined as consistent satisfaction. Satisfaction is a one-time event. Happiness comes when we are consistently satisfied.
There seems to be two perceptions of reality in our mind. One reflects how things are, the other one reflects how, we think, things ought to be. When these two perceptions match each other on any particular issue, we are satisfied. When reality meets expectations consistently in many areas of our life , we say that we are happy.
There are two ways to make reality match our expectations. One is to bring reality up to our expectations. The other is to adjust our expectations to match reality. Which way is preferable, depends on the situation.
"If the mountain will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet must go to the mountain."
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/if_the_mountain_won%27t_come_to_MuhammadOct 14 2013: After 17 years of marriage and 7 years working as a quality manager in a semiconductor company, I prefer not to ask myself such silly questions. If you ask yourself "am I happy?" or "am I satisfied?" long enough, you will come to a conclusion that you are neither happy nor satisfied. Otherwise, you would not ask these questions in the first place.
As a quality manager, I know that there is a fine line that separates a good product from a bad product. The line is called "test limit". This line is both fuzzy and arbitrary. You can define this line for yourself at your own peril. But remember that eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil is the root cause of human suffering.

It's a tough question......and my brain cells short circuit with these types of questions.......they are TOUGH.....
Loved your last sentence Arkady..... :D
Oct 15 2013: Thanks. The last sentence can be expanded. It's this question "am I happy or is there something that can make me happier?" that brings on misery. It is often followed by other vain questions: "Why is that other person more successful/rich/happy/beautiful etc. than I am?" Here come the concepts of justice/injustice and other nonsense. This is how the story of Cain and Abel directly follows the story of eating from the tree.
Forgive me a little preaching. I keep saying that this is useless philosophy, but, somehow, it is close to my heart. If you read my reply to Pabitra's post, you may understand why.

I think it is good to think about words and their meanings. But going too far can drive one nuts.
I think many times it is difficult to see potential in individuals, and then see them fail for lack of interest and drive......there is usually a root cause......at times, as in the case of school aged children, it may be boredom.......sometimes the mind is capable of so much, but the educators do not know how to reach the student with the teaching style that is best suited for them. It is tough Arkady.....but usually after some years, things balance out. Our job as parents is to love unconditionally, and to be there for them.....a lot of patience is required.Oct 13 2013: I finally found real happiness, with someone who made me laugh, taught me much, and gave me confidence. He died four months ago. I am grateful for the time we spent together, and SATISFIED that I have had a good life; there are moments that make me smile now but they are something less than the joy I felt back then. Satsfaction is being content with life as it is, happiness is when life is the best it can be. Wealth will not buy either, but poverty makes it harder to find either one.Oct 13 2013: Satisfaction implies that the person feeling it is aware that the subject of his satisfaction is complete. There is no need for any more development or growth (even if they are possible) because the activity has already yielded a full result.
Happness is not associated with the completion of a task at all, but it is a feeling associated with a particular temporary situation. It is a bit less profound than satisfaction but also it is more joyful because it depends on its existance alone..Oct 13 2013: Happiness is a temporary state of mind most often based on circumstances. You can be happy one moment getting a coffee at Starbucks and then on the way out your lid pops off spills all over your shirt and there goes your happiness. Everyone's always looking for a constant state of happiness which is not possible they will only realize that even though they find it they can't keep it. One moment you have it another moment you don't. It's like a one night stand.
Satisfaction is when no matter what you have or what state of mind you are in it is enough. It is like a marriage. It is meant to be long term it is a place of rest.Oct 11 2013: Happiness is what you feel while walking in a certain direction.
Satisfaction is what you feel right before taking one more step forward.
So.., you need to know where to walk as much as you need to walk it.
Happiness is a state and satisfaction is a very intense fraction of happiness. Is like.., words in bold... from the same book.
------ That´s my answer -----
------ Now a bit of crap -----
What direction is that? Well my friend, you are the only one who knows, or at least the only one who has, soon or later, realize from within, and so.., sooner or later, bet on it without excuses. And If you don´t know now, that´s normal. (I bet you know a few things where to start from, huh?)
Tips: Don´t lie to yourself, just do what feels right deep inside, one day, and another, and you will find yourself walking. Then you will know.
Oct 11 2013: Goye P: Your first two lines are incredible..but I have contradiction with "Happiness is a state and satisfaction is a very intense fraction of happiness" . I think ; satisfaction is a state which is positive element of life and happiness should not depend on any external conditions, it should be governed by our mental attitude.So,according to me the directions of happiness and satisfaction are parallel and directly proportional to each other..
Vijay Kumar
Oct 11 2013: Shrinath... true happiness is that facet of life that always comes from within. One could never enjoy happiness by materialistic wealth alone. True happiness can only be gained by undertaking spiritual journey, path of nishkama karma yoga that always led towards God Almighty. One always feels happy, stages of intermittent bliss indulging in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism.
- +1
Satisfaction is a faculty of physical manifest world. Whatever our approach or goal of life... one can find satisfaction at any stage of life! The level of satisfaction always varied with different individuals. Something that gives satisfaction to one may be highly unsatisfactory for another. As we mature, realize inherent values of life... our satisfaction standard fluctuates.
What gave satisfaction in yesteryears seemed out of date now. With time... we improved our perception. More the inherent intelligence... higher the level of perception! A truly successful person in life could not be easily satisfied. One demanded highest level of perfection to feel totally satisfied.
A spiritual traveler never feels satisfied with anything. For a seeker of God... unless one reaches God Almighty, one never felt satisfied! However, every spiritual achievement gave extreme happiness that always came from within. More on inner happiness - http://www.bhagavadgitasummary.com/Geeta-Chapter-10/Gita-Chapter-10-Verse-9.htmlOct 11 2013: the happiness belong to the emotions ,the satisfaction belong to the mind ,the emotional happiness turn around the moment ,the minded happiness turn around our lives (past,future and moment) ;the perfect moment of happiness is in need of the spontaneity ,the perfect satisfaction with our mind it depends the spontaneity of the habits ,the origine and the goal of the satisfaction is the spontaniety to being happy ,the happiness by realising your goals (the goal will explain the way) it's the pure mind or statisfaction without real happiness when the goals is against the ethics and we'll be happy satisfied when the goals of our logic return into the principals of our hearts.Oct 10 2013: I make difference like this.
Happiness is natural way to feel joy. Anything can make you feel happy. Cup of tea, sunny day, first strawberry, floral park, somebodies smile. Happiness is pure energy in the human being. And it's just question of skill or choise, would that energy will be turn on, or turn off.
Satisfaction is kind of happiness. It's often in relationship with career and job, so I'll be free to say that satisfaction has kind of society form, and its society determined. Satisfaction- afterwards hard trying, + pretty often in package with happiness. :)Oct 10 2013: Shrinath! :) Shubham Mittal has replied it well...
No! happiness is not satisfaction. A happy person must not be think as a satisfied one, because his/her satisfaction is ephemeral. This kind of satisfaction is assumed. No Shrinath! this must not be consider as a satisfaction.
Happiness is when something has been achieved as desired. It is always result oriented. A man can not be happy if he makes efforts to gain something but fails. One happiness is always the origin of another new aim. A target is achieved and happiness comes but this happiness is not long lasting kind of. Happiness makes a man restless. Another bigger aim or target takes place in one's mind for bigger happiness. And this goes on.... there is no end.
But Satisfaction is desire-less state of mind. Satisfied person is not result oriented. If a satisfied person makes efforts, his/her happiness or unhappiness is not tied up with the result or outcome.Oct 10 2013: Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your group of wonderful people. One thing I would like to say before I sign off: Remember the words that come out of your mouth will either help someone "live" or "die".
Be happy, smile and speak beautiful things to all people. Good night all.

Because sometimes you are doing, for example, a work. You may feel satisfaction of ending it, but perhaps no happiness because it was something you didnt like and that was the main reason why it was satisfaction but not happiness.

A simple example is as follows: Consider a Web application that allows a user to edit pages, but allows administrators to lock pages to prevent editing. A user requests to edit a page, getting a form by which they can alter its content. Before the user submits the form, an administrator locks the page, which should prevent editing. However, since the user has already begun editing, when they submit the form, their edits are accepted. When the user began editing, their authorization was checked, and they were indeed allowed to edit. However, the authorization was used later, after they should no longer have been allowed.
In Unix, the following C code, when used in a setuid program, is a TOCTTOU bug: Here, access is intended to check whether the real user who executed the setuid program would normally be allowed to read the file (i.e., access checks the real userid rather than effective userid).
This race condition is vulnerable to an attack:
Although this sequence of events requires precise timing, it is possible for an attacker to arrange such conditions without too much difficulty.
The implication is that the access system call, as it currently exists in Unix, should never be used except as the first step of a Test and Test-and-set.

Stretchy leggings in a menswear herringbone pattern with motorcycle stitch seaming. Two front pockets and two back pockets. Zipper and button fly opening. Just because it's a pair of leggings, doesn't mean you can't still bring the tiniest of details into consideration.

Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 18 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Jess77 Flattering These pants are great. I have trouble with pants fitting me right since I have wider hips and skinny legs. I love that these are wide in the waist and tight in the legs. They stretch out fast so they could probably be sized down if you want them super snug. They are very pretty; I love the pattern and the seams. They are much better in person. I got the olive in a 27 and I'm 5'3 116lbs and they're great or me. The length is great too. They became loose after wearing one time but that's ok because I don't like when my pants are crazy tight in the waist. Muffin top = badness. 12.26.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by CarpeVentum Great style I loved the seams on these leggings. However, with my athletic legs and the combination of skinnny jeans, I could not get away with these. Bummer. A tad too tight in the quads and brought too much attention. I went with a 29. 12.26.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Randz111 As flattering as on the model These lovely pants are my first ever Free People purchase (well while I wait for something else on back order). I wouldn't normally buy pants that need to fit perfectly from a brand I don't know, but FP has obviously fostered a great culture for their fans around purchase reviews, and it makes first time buying less scary! Anyway, I went down a size after reading all the reviews about them being a bit loose, and as such the size 27 is almost perfect on me. I normally wear a 28. I cannot believe how flatteringly they fit, all the way from hip to ankle. They could be a teeny bit tighter in the waistband to prevent gaping at the back, but they're overall really good. Although tall people beware, they are a bit ankle-duster like! The inseam is listed as 29.5" and on me that's about 4 inches above my ankle bone. For reference I'm 5' 9.5" and weigh 65kg. I do have one point of not so positive feedback, however, and that's the poor sewing efforts on the fly. There were several broken stitches on the fly which I could see as soon as I took them out of the packet. After putting them on and wearing them for only half an hour, the fly had split about 2 inches in length, and this was not due to any strain in the fit as they are not at all tight around my hips or waist. Given it takes two weeks for postage from US to Australia, and then it would take another 2 weeks for a replacement pair, and even then I can't be guaranteed I wouldn't have the same issue, I opted to get them fixed at an alteration store. It cost me $15 which isn't too bad, but it's $15 I'd rather not have spent! Overall I'm still happy and have already bought several more items which I can't wait to receive! 9.11.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by csconn sadly an awkward fit I wanted these for so long, bought them, and returned them once I tried them on. I'm 5'4 120 and bought a size 27. The waist was big, but the pants are thick and they fit awkward on my upper inner thigh. If you have stick legs, buy them in a size down from usual, sadly they didn't work for me. In addition, the kinda made my butt look flat even though they were loose up top hmmm hope they work better for you! 3.9.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jclare sweet pants I love these 'leggings'. They are really stretchy for sure but not even close to feeling like a legging. I went with my usual size 27, but could have sized down, as the waist is big. The green color is just as pictured, and i loveeee the seaming. I'm glad I have them .. 2.21.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by FPkeira New Faves! Just received them in Red. My normal FP size is 28. I purchased a 27 and they fit perfectly. The waist is a little loose but i still love the pant! Excited to wear them for the remainder of winter :) 12.28.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by elkn Love these pants! These pants are so cute in person. Just got them for Christmas and I love them. I am 5'6" and 113lbs and I'm wearing a size 26 in these. They fit great, different than my go to jeans but I still like the way they fit. They are a bit cropped which I love and will be so great for Spring and Summer. My only complaint is that the seaming in the front makes them tight on the front of my thighs - a place I never have an issue with pants. It's not that big of a deal but just be aware that these pants fit a little different/snug in the front thigh than your normal jeans/leggings would fit because they have seams all over the place. That is why I gave these pants 4 stars instead of 5. Overall I love these and they're so different than any pants/leggings I own. They are very rocker chic. Can't wait to wear them! 12.26.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mydogisruby FABULOUS! I ordered these in 2 different sizes, 27 and 28. For whatever reason, the 28s were not shipped--first time in years that I've ever had a problem occur when ordering online--and, much to my surprise, the 27s fit perfectly! I am typically a size 4 in my "staple brand" Levi's. These are very different from anything I own & I love them! Lots of compliments when I wear them. Also, I would like to add that FP resolved the order shortage in a very timely fashion. Thanks, FP :D 12.11.2012

It's been a long time coming, so we are really happy to finally be putting color on our '68 Camaro project car, Track Rat. Now, originally we were going to cover the car in a satin finish but found that the car would have looked great when first done, but it would have been all downhill from there. Get a scuff from a poorly placed cone and it's unlikely it will buff out. The same problem arises with environmental contaminants like bee pollen and gifts from our fine feathered friends. So we opted for something more durable, and that meant a traditional, high-gloss finish.
Back when we started this project, shops in California could still shoot solvent-based paints, but recent laws have forced them to switch over to waterborne paint systems. Like many new things, this change was met by apprehension from most shops. After all, most of the new "green" products out there might be better for planet Earth, but they tend to not work as well as their "dirtier" predecessors.
The truth is waterborne paint isn't really new. The technology has been around a long time. Heck, Western Europe made the switch to waterborne over a decade ago, and over 60 percent of new automobiles come from the factory with waterborne basecoats. In the case of what we're using, Cromax Pro, it's Axalta Coating Systems (formerly DuPont Performance Coatings) third generation of waterborne paint.
There are two other things to note. First, today only the basecoat is water-based. The primers, sealers, and clears are all just as they've been for a long time: solvent-based. The second tidbit is that waterborne basecoats aren't all water. Water replaces a large part of the solvents, but some solvent (about 10 percent) remains in the paint. This mixture of water and solvents acts as a carrier to move the color from the spray gun to the surface of the car. The water and solvents then evaporate, leaving behind the pigments and resins that give a car its color. The processes and techniques employed between the two systems are very similar. It's just that one sheds far fewer volatile organic compounds (VOC) into the atmosphere, which are harmful to the environment. Specifically, water-based paints give off almost 90 percent less VOCs compared to solvent.
The main difference between solvent and water-based paints is how they evaporate. The key with solvent is temperature, while water is driven more by humidity. Because of this, airflow is the key to faster drying times. The irony here is that the older cross-draft booths are better than the newer downdraft type. The reason is that as the water evaporates from the paint surface, the air molecules near the surface become saturated and can't hold more water, slowing the process. If air is kept moving across the surface that is drying, the saturated air is constantly being replaced with fresh air.
The equipment needed to switch from solvent to waterborne paint is fairly minimal. Stainless-steel spray guns are not optional and fans can be used, but it really only speeds up the drying process. Also, make sure the compressed air is clean since oil and water are known not to play nice together.
The Axalta paint we chose is quite a bit different from other waterborne paints on the market. First, it uses a wet-on-wet process rather than the typical coat-flash-coat method. Secondly, it has a higher solid content (the color that's left behind once all the other stuff evaporates) of 20 percent compared with 15 percent in other brands. This means that less paint has the ability to cover more car. Using less paint saves money on the supply side, and not having to wait for the paint to flash means money is saved on the labor side. Also, due to the higher solid content, coverage can be attained in as little as 1.5 coats compared to the 3-6 coats needed with other paints. This results in a thinner film coating that Axalta claims makes Cromax Pro more resistant to stone chips.
Best of Show Coach Works in Escondido, California, was forced to make the switch to waterborne paint over two years ago. At first they were a bit reluctant, but after working with the product, they've found it superior to solvent-based paints in many regards. They've also noticed that the colors seem more vibrant, which is a very good thing when you're spraying custom cars. The biggest issue is that it's somewhat harder to do repairs on cars shot with solvent since the waterborne paint shoots so much cleaner. But as time ticks by and more shops move to waterborne paint technology, this will become as uncommon as coming across a car shot in lacquer.

The Wilson College Soccer team had a tough time on the road in New York this past weekend.
The Wilson College Soccer team had a tough time on the road in New York this past weekend. In the first game of the weekend double header the Phoenix lost 5-2 to Cazenovia College. Cazenovia was able to score two goals within the first 15 minutes of the game, however Wilson battled back and got on the score board when Senior, captain, Colleen O'Reilly (Mardela Springs, Salisbury) sent a ball across the goal mouth that bounced off a Cazenovia player and found the back of the net. Wilson was able to even the score 2-2 early in the second half with a goal from Courtney Bernecker (Saint Thomas, PA/ James Buchanan). Both teams had opportunites in the remaining minutes; however it was Cazenovia that found the back of the net in the 76th minute of play. The Wildcats scored twice more in the last 15 minutes of the game for a final score of 5-2.
Katie Murphy (Schnecksville, PA/ Parkland) recorded 7 saves in the goal for Wilson.
On Sunday, Wilson suffered a heart breaking, double overtime, sudden victory loss to Morrisville State. The Phoenix and the Mustangs battled through 90 minutes of play scoreless despite several opportunities for both teams. The game was sent into two sudden victory overtime periods. Within the first minute of the second overtime period, Morrisville was able to score on a shot take from outside the 18 yard box.
Two Wilson players split time in the goal for the Phoenix. Murphy recorded 3 saves, while Ebby Boratenski (Silver Springs, MD/ Homeschooled) totaled 10 saves in the net.
Wilson Will next host Lancaster Bible College on Wednesday, September 28th in another NEAC conference match up. Kick off is set for 4:00 PM.

As part of Ford's promotion for the 2010 Mustang, World Drifting champion, Vaughn Gittin, Jr., takes it to Japan to embrace the roots of his sport. He also takes the time to park his ride, Japanese style, as shown in the time-lapsed video below.
Because space is at such a premium in the Land of the Rising Sun, drivers may find that the parking deck will do the parking for them, stacking their cars like Matchbox collectibles underground (or in a high-rise carousel) and then picking it out when they're ready to go.
This is also a problem that isn't unique to Japan. As one example, Munich in Germany had to contend with the same issue when building a typical parking deck just wasn't an option.
