I am looking into getting the thunderbolt. I just have one concern. Will it play the games that are marketed as tegra2 games and also the playstation games that will come out soon? I dunno anything about the processors to compare them myself.
I am looking into getting the thunderbolt. I just have one concern. Will it play the games that are marketed as tegra2 games and also the playstation games that will come out soon? I dunno anything about the processors to compare them myself.
The tb will be better for gaming due to the processor.
Why is that? If you don't mind explaining the technical reason.
The Thunderbolt will not be the best phone available for gaming, but it will be no slouch either. There are several other phones available right now that can beat it in terms of gaming graphics and speed. The Tegra2 games will be for phones like the Atrix and Bionic that have the dual core processors in them (the Thunderbolt is only single core). As for the Playstation games, there is a couple of PSone emulators in the market (FPse is thought to be better than psx4droid by most), but we will have to wait and see how they perform on the TB, nobody knows yet. It might not be fast enough for some and play them laggy or choppy, but not all games will perform the same so some may be ok. It should not have a problem with normal games from the market, or some of the other older emulators (NES, Sega Genesis, SNES, N64).
"These are the Droids you're looking for..."
its here. and its fast. blazingly fast as advertised. i came from two motorolas (need to update my sig) and i already prefer htc sense. i even axed go launcher for now to play. the sound is incredible, the speed is its best attribute. maybe all htcs are this customizable out of the box, but if not, this thing is loaded with options. havent tested voice+data, but while tethering for my friends laptop and my old droid x, i achieved speeds of 4.06 d/l and 29 u/l on speedtests app. i couldnt get those speeds on my overclocked x while nothing else was running. most of that im sure is the fact that maybe 100 people are sharing the 4g signal coming from the nearest tower. either way, its an upgrade. i heard rumors the camera wasnt as good as motorolas but my first impression is that it is better. im very happy with this.
now the bad parts...
4g cant be turned off in the system. extended controls doesnt work for this either altho all other toggles seem to. im sure this can be fixed
theres a ton of bloat. again, can be fixed eventually.
led light. from what i see, the color cannot be changed. also, 3rd party apps like handcent, will NOT let you turn the light to a steady glow. it seems it is only capable of blinking. possibly can be fixed im thinking
dialing ##program does not give you options to default to 2/3/4g. dead end
i booted into recovery. (power on, hold volume up) and now sometimes when i reboot the phone will freeze on the clouds after the thunderbolt strikes. in addtion, i think the 'fast boot' option chooses if it wants to work or not. i ran threee reboots and once it worked. also, it took my battery from 98 to 88 doing those three reboots, one of them being lightning fast. yikes.
also, the led (amberish colored) is behind the ear speaker screen making it even harder to see as it blinks for too quickly of a moment.
it feels great in my hand and now that i have the screen turned to 20%, im losing losing an increment of battery a minute <-- another +, 1% battery increments using extended controls.
all in all, im very happy. there are minor issues, but they almost all seem correctable. not by me of course, but some other brain.
still a lot more to mess with and play around with.
maybe someone can help me too. is there any way to reduce the number of screens htcs standard launcher uses? i use 2-3 and it has 7.
hopefully we get root soon and 4g becomes optional, along with the ability to change the length/color of the led light. these are my two biggest gripes so far
edit: also as a member of the beta team pointed out, screen sensitivity becomes an issue when charging. my old droid became super sensitive, my x was noraml, and this one loses sensitivity

Thunderbolt here
X passed to Jess
Droid also here but retired after hard miles to the land of experimentation and mutilation
Interesting review. I too have noticed the battery dropping pretty fast just by having it on. But I can keep this thing plugged in almost all of the time so that's good. I'm going to do a real battery test tomorrow and see how it does. I don't think it's going to match my 50+ hour rooted OG Droid tho (with medium use).
My old droid charger works and screen sensitivity seems to stay the same - just takes forever to charge. But that's ok. I just wish the charge cable wasn't in the way of me texting in portrait mode. Either way, all good.
HTC ThunderBolt Battery Time Revealed [Hands-On Test with SlashGear] | Android Community
Wow, that's amazing. I was hoping to get a little more use than that. That's pretty interesting. I've had the opportunity of talking to someone non-stop on ebuddy for 2 hours straight on my OG Droid and it used up almost half of the battery to a good 40%.
I'm not interested in getting a different back for this phone but I'd be interested in getting a bigger mAh battery.

Warning - this is one of the cutest things ever - you might fall out of your chair it's so cute - - TOMS Inspired Baby Shoes, ka-bam!
And guess what - they come from a FREE pattern over at Homemade Toast - score! She has the instructions for Baby Shoes (like I made - with elastic in the back) and for Toddler shoes (with a velcro strap across the front)
The free pattern is generic and you'll need to size it to fit. But if you don't want to take that extra step, you can purchase a size-specific pattern from Homemade Toast Etsy Shop - the baby pattern includes sizes newborn-24 months and the toddler pattern includes sizes 3-10. I was sent the sized pattern to try out and loved that I didn't have to think. I used the 6-9 month size for my niece.
I have made baby shoes before so I know the general construction of them. I thought the pattern was well-written and the steps were explained thoroughly. Again, you can find those free instructions at Homemade Toast - she walks you through step-by-step via photos.
Now, I realize part of the cuteness is the tags - personalized always steps things up a level. The tutorial tells you how to make them, but you can also order custom tags from the Homemade Toast Etsy Shop (discount below) as well - and she ships you 3 tags, just in case you mess up on one - I appreciate that!
I just can't get over this cuteness! These would make the perfect baby gift - and they don't take much fabric, and they come together pretty quickly, especially after you've made one and know the construction process.

NCIS Round Table: "Chasing Ghosts"by Steve Marsi at .
Our NCIS review broke down "Chasing Ghosts," this week's episode, in detail.
Now, TV Fanatic staff members Steve Marsi, Douglas Wolfe and Christine Orlando have assembled for our weekly Round Table Q&A discussion of various events and topics from this installment.
Join in as we analyze another entertaining hour of TV's #1 show!
1. How would you describe this week's episode in one word (or two, or three, or four)?
Doug: The one-finger discount.
Christine: Vena Amoris because sometimes I just love Ducky's stories.
Steve: I want in.
2. What was your favorite scene from "Chasing Ghosts?"
Doug: It's a toss-up between two scenes. The first was Palmer's adamant refusal to be pigeon-holed by Ducky, when he said: "No, you know what? I take it back. It is not okay. I appreciate you throwing me a bone once in a while, or in this case a finger but it's not enough. I want to step up in all aspects of my career. And I will not let you send me on my way because you think something is... what... beyond my reach? It's not beyond my reach. I can help. I want to help. I want you to teach me that." And the second was contained in Gibbs' directive to Ziva: "What are you waiting for? Take DiNozzo. Go." Both scenes were uniquely charged, albeit for different reasons.
Christine: Gibbs telling Tony to go check on Ziva... NOW! Perhaps Gibbs really is a Tiva shipper.
Steve: Vance's nod. See clip below ... what an awesome conclusion. Also, I second what Doug said about Palmer, I enjoyed his scenes, as well as Gibbs telling him he's moving up in the world.
3. What, if anything did you find wrong with this installment?
Doug: I'm frankly a little worried at how far Vance is sticking his neck out: after being asked by Homeland Security to rein Ziva in, he did the opposite and okayed her trek to Rome. It's not a technical problem with the show, but it's a problem for the team as a whole. And it ramps up the tension just a bit.
Christine: I really thought the neighbor who saw the door open was going to end up being the killer. Kudos to the show for throwing in that red herring because I kept expecting it to circle back to him for the entire episode and it never did.
Steve: Honestly, not a lot. It was a great way to set up what's to come and to establish the impact of Eli David and Jackie Vance's death on the entire team. No matter where you stand on the Tony-Ziva situation, they are clearly very close and work together well ... this should be no exception.
4. Bigger surprise: McGee being in on Ziva's plan, or Gibbs and Vance effectively signing off on it?
Doug: Both are pretty equal but frankly I was more surprised by McGee's presence in the apartment. I expected to find Ziva talking with Shmeil in that apartment, not Tim McGee.
Christine: I was shocked to find McGee secretly working with Ziva. I suppose it was for his technological expertise but I was still shocked. Tony was barely able to cover his hurt with his trademark humor.
Steve: Definitely Tim. Gibbs I can see backing her if he thinks she can finish the job, and Vance, while not normally the type to back such an operation, likely wants payback, too. But seriously, who wasn't taken aback that McGee had been working with Ziva the whole time? It's great, but I was as surprised as Tony.
5. Does Ziva intend to bring Bodnar in or kill him?
Doug: Definitely she plans to kill him. I suspect Tony might want to talk her out of it, but I can see him getting conflicted too, and wanting to help her bury him.
Christine: This is Ziva. It could go either way but I think she just might try to bring him in.
Steve: If given the choice, and assuming Bodnar had no say in the matter, she might want to bring him in, but this is not the kind of person you just bring in. I don't think she's going in with any expectation of that happening, nor would I expect it the storyline to end that cleanly.
6. How will the Tony and Ziva in Europe dynamic work out - regarding her plan and their relationship?
Doug: I hope the relationship is put to bed one way or another (pun half-intended). I think it's time they showed their cards. The viewers need to win this one: whether they agree to just be friends and no more, or to become a crime-fighting couple. I'd like to see them acknowledge their attraction and can easily see how that can happen: as Tony enables her vengeance, understanding completely her need to punish her father's killer, she'll realize the depth of his commitment to her. If on the other hand he plays it straight and pulls out the procedural law card, she'll see the uncomfortable rift between them. Either way, Ziva needs closure regarding her father's killer, just as the viewers need closure on their relationship. (Okay we don't exactly *need* closure - but it sure would be nice to have it)
Christine: I can't wait to see them working together. They make a good team but I hope he goes all in on whatever her plan is and it's not all about him trying to rein her in. As for their relationship, I'll be really upset if they don't confront their feelings for one another. They need to make a decision. Move forward together or decide it's never going to happen.
Steve: Three words ... shall we dance?
7. Share one bold prediction for the final four episodes of NCIS Season 10.
Doug: Vance will have an internal battle with his need for vengeance and his need to uphold the law. In the end, the law will win and he'll do his best - after making the mistake of sending a vengeance-filled Ziva after Bodnar - to pull her back and demand that she merely apprehend him. Ziva will go completely rogue and cut off communication with him and Gibbs, and will only allow Tony into her confidence. Tony too will battle with his attraction for her and his need to stay within the law. This struggle will see him hit the bottle for a while, until he finally decides he must do what's right. After a few nights of romance and danger with Ziva he will ruefully inform her of his decision to uphold the law. She will kill Bodnar. The season will end with her in Gibbs' basement, and the final scene will be her look of astonishment as he tells her she's no longer welcome at NCIS.
Christine: My hope is that Tony and Ziva become a couple... finally. The tease has gone on far too long.
Steve: These end-of-season arcs always build to dramatic conclusions and leave us hanging at the same time. You can also guarantee there will be ancillary characters playing key roles - perhaps the return of Tim's dad? - and some side plots tying in unexpectedly. It seems obvious that Ziva's hunt for Bodnar will be the focal point, but how her relationship with Tony fits into that, and what the casualties will be? I'm curious to hear what our readers think.

Except we are calling you insane because you make stuff up and say thing like we want to see Tony and Ziva have sex on top of dead bodies. You claim things as fact and don't have the proof to back it up. You just say look at a website so we do and find articles that go against what you are trying to tell us. We call you insane because you lack the common sense to realize that an actress says something and is quoted makes it fact no matter how old the article is. And last but not least we call you insane for claiming Tiva is tantamount to rape. That statement is an insult to actual rape victims.
For the one who call us insane for talking about kate and season 1 and 2 how we like the past character and not Tiva, at leat we dont go around saying we are ENTITLED to TIVA and the Tony and Ziva should SEAL THE DEAL!!! Well, not everyone sees, nor wants, TIVA or any onscreen romance between the field team members yet we get told to GO AWAY because NCIS is all about TIVA. Can we please have our quirky procedural drama back?
Mossad made her a trained assassin, but years of NCIS has made Ziva appreciate the rule of law. I think Bodner will be killed, but it will look like Ziva did it, but it's a present-day rogue Mossad looking to revenge the killing of Eli, surely he has the respect of his former colleagues?
People, we need to seriously stop responding to Michael and then maybe he/she will go away. It is clear this person has serious mental issues or is twelve years old. We are the only contact with the "real" world this person has and it is about a fictional TV show. It's time to stop feeding the delusion!

A four-day gain in the S&P 500 greeted investors ahead of Thanksgiving, but the rally might not have much room to run, the CNBC "Fast Money" pros said Wednesday.
Brian Kelly of Shelter Harbor Capital said that crude oil prices wasn't buying the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas — and he argued that Iran could still be emboldened to interject itself into the dispute.
"Oil reversed and closed higher today," he said. "The oil market doesn't believe this is over."
EmergingMoney.com's Tim Seymour added Syria to the mix.
"That whole part of the world is still unbelievably volatile," he said.
Seymour also said that the market was running into its resistance level. Add to that the shaky cease-fire, as well as the looming threat of the so-called "fiscal cliff," and there was still plenty of uncertainty ahead.
The "fiscal cliff" would trigger automatic federal spending cuts on Jan. 1 and see the expiration of the Bush tax cuts if lawmakers in Washington fail to agree on a budget deal.
(Read More: Four Market Fear Factors: Blackstone's Wien)
"I think you have to wait for real news," he said. "If those are the things that had you rallying, I would be cautious."
Drakon Capital's Guy Adami warned: "Don't short crude going into Thanksgiving."
"I think you can trade from the long side," he added. "I think the rally going to be short-lived."
Trader disclosure: On Nov. 21, 2012, the following stocks and commodities mentioned or intended to be mentioned on CNBC's "Fast Money" were owned by the "Fast Money" traders: Steve Grasso is long AET; Steve Grasso is long ASTM; Steve Grasso is long AUO; Steve Grasso is long CLF; Steve Grasso is long F; Steve Grasso is long GOOG; Steve Grasso is long LF; Steve Grasso is long LNG; Steve Grasso is long MHY; Steve Grasso is long NVIV; Steve Grasso is long P; Steve Grasso is long S; Steve Grasso is long WYNN; Steve Grasso is long GDX; Brian Kelly is long QQQ; Brian Kelly is long XLK; Brian Kelly is long BOIL; Brian Kelly is long NAT GAS; Brian Kelly is long JJG; Brian Kelly is long GLD; Brian Kelly is long SLV; Tim Seymour is long AAPL; Tim Seymour is long BAC; Tim Seymour is long SBUX; Tim Seymour is long RIO; Guy Adami is long C; Guy Adami is long GS; Guy Adami is long INTC; Guy Adami is long AGU; Guy Adami is long MSFT; Guy Adami is long NUE; Guy Adami is long BTU.

I worked at Netflix
Pros – Free account! Streaming and eight DVDs at a time.
Cons – They hired on hundreds as temps and told all of us we would be "converted" and receiving health benefits within three months, or be fired for poor performance. Well, that never happened. We were all strung along, some of us were fired, but by the time six months came along only 30 of the remaining 250 temp employees were given health insurance. they kept telling us, "maybe next month." When I finally quit and told them why, I was told that they were using benefits as a performance motivator, and they extended the conversion time frame to a year. I told them that health insurance is something that GOOD employers give their employers, not a performance motivator, and that they needed to find a better way to motivate their employees. Disgusting.
Advice to Senior Management – Give your employees some respect. Give them health insurance, and offer the cash bonus as a quarterly incentive if they triple crown.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I used Remembering Pearl Harbor from Xpeditions with my 8th reading students upon completion of reading Farewell to Manzanar. They were captivated, and asked for more time to explore, which I will give them. Every one of them was on the site, engaged, and interested for over 20 minutes as they explored on their own on laptops. I put the link on my wiki so they can go and explore the site on their own time as well.
Here's the link: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/pearlharbor/
This is an outstanding resource. I hope others who haven't seen it take the time to check it out. You have proof that this is what will engage our students in the learning process. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks so much for sharing this great tip!
Wow—I had never seen that all the way through. I can see where it would be riveting: the "radio" voice-over, eerie music, amazing animation/illustration depicting each critical event.
An interesting follow-up to that activity might be A More Perfect Union. Someone suggested it to me and I was blown away, in particular, by the reflections section where people can enter stories from WWII or internment. It makes it pretty amazing and real to hear the nuances of individuals' experiences.
Community Manager
ps. On a personal note: I traveled past the Manzanar site last year and suddenly, with the Sierra mountain range looming dark in the background, it struck me that this was 'Ansel Adams territory'! I did a little research and found that both Dorothea Lange and Ansel Adams had been involved in documenting internment. Truly interesting to see history through those photographers' eyes.
I had the opportunity to participate in last spring's annual Pilgrimage to Manzanar, an experience I will remember for a long time to come!
I've also had the good fortune to team with educator and community actitivist Marielle Tsukamoto (daughter of Mary Tsukamoto, the driving force behind the Smithsonian's More Perfect Union exhibit). For the past five years, we have been interviewing and recording the oral histories from former internees and resisters from the Elk Grove area (south of Sacramento, California). You can find the interview video segments and accompanying resources at http://www.egusd.net/tor.
I think these first-hand accounts will provide you and your students with an amazing window into what it was like to experience discrimination, exclusion, and forced removal from the West Coast during the war years.
We're working this week on 5 more interviews, plus a documentary from the Manzanar pilgrimage. I should have those posted, along with some outstanding new lessons before the start of the New Year.
Thanks for the http://www.nationalgeographic.com/pearlharbor/ link. I'll add this to the Time of Remembrance list of resources.

About the Peregrine Falcon
The Peregrine Falcon is a medium-sized bird about the size of a crow. Adult birds are 15 to 20 inches tall, with females being one-third larger than males. The falcons have a wing span of 36 to 44 inches. Their long pointed wings, tail, and strong 'rowing' wing beats are distinctive in flight. Once almost wiped out due to DDT, Peregrines have made a strong comeback through captive breeding and reintroduction programs.
In 1993, South Bend was the site of a Department of Natural Resources reintroduction, releasing and monitoring 15 young captive-bred birds as they became familiar with a life in the wild.
Historic sites were along cliff and river bluffs and, although they still use these locations, they have made good use of tall city buildings which mimic those high altitudes environments. Cities also provide an abundant food supply of birds- pigeons, sparrows, starlings, and other species as well. A Peregrine diving on prey can attain speeds of 200 mph, making it the world's fastest living animal. View a National Geographic story highlighting the flying capabilities of the Peregrine.
The falcons raise a brood each year and remain here through the winter. Incubation of the 3 or 4 eggs takes approximately 32 days, with the female performing most of the incubation, while the male provides food and relieves her for short periods of time. The chicks are banded at 21 to 25 days old, and fledge the nest around 40 days. As fledging approaches, the young birds can be seen out on the front of the nest box and on the perch that extends outward. They are usually flying very well within a week, following and interacting with the parents, and will leave the area in another six weeks.
The word peregrine means 'wanderer.' The young birds will wander until they are two years old, then find a mate and raise their own offspring.
Peregrine Falcons Removed From Indiana Endangered Species List
In October 2013, the peregrine falcon was taken off the Indiana endangered species list and is now considered a "Species of Special Concern". They were removed from the federal endangered species list in 1999 and the federal delisting plan requires monitoring through 2015. As with most other wild birds, peregrines are still protected from harm by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and state laws.
The recovery of peregrine falcon populations is truly amazing and it took efforts from large numbers of people. Without building and plant managers permitting biologists to erect nest boxes and allowing the birds to nest with minimal disturbance, this would not have happened. The peregrine falcon is still a relatively rare nesting bird in Indiana and the Midwest, and a large portion of the population depends on nest boxes in urban and industrial areas. Removing nest boxes could quickly result in a population decline or force the birds to nest in sites that could be much more troublesome for plant managers.
It is anticipated the falcons will be monitored as in past years, and the Indiana DNR hopes site managers with nesting falcons will continue to maintain nest boxes and protect the birds from undo disturbance. Peregrines have a large following of people who enjoy them and are concerned about their welfare. Because many of the locations where peregrine nests are associated with industries often criticized by environmentalists, the presence of nesting peregrines is a great opportunity to show an environmentally positive side at these locations.
South Bend's Falcon Family Facts:
- Guinevere arrived un-banded (she was subsequently banded) and her origins are unknown.
- Zephyr was released at a cliff on the Mississippi in Muscatine, Iowa, 1999. He lost his right foot in the spring of 2011 in an apparent trap injury, so his hunting ability was diminished.
- Zephyr dies of head injury, 6-19-2012.
- New male falcon, Zeus, spotted nesting alongside Guinevere, winter 2012.
- A female chick from our 2007 nest was found as part of a nesting pair in Racine, Wisconsin.

When my astigmatism worsened in one eye, the doctor suggesting I try Air Optix with a correction for astigmatism. She made me wait an hour before leaving the office, just to make sure it was working for me and didn't bother me. (They are slightly thicker than the regular Air Optix and are weighted a bit to stay in position.) Once I assured her I couldn't even feel it on my eye, she told me to come back in a few weeks for an exam check up. I did that, and she could see no problems at all with my wearing this lens. I was delighted, because it did a FABULOUS job of correcting my vision. Don't hesitate to try this lens. It is very comfortable. I haven't had any trouble with it at all. Thank goodness it is available for me!

These lenses were more comfortable than the lenses my doctor recommended initially (those were more expensive, of course) as far as being noticeable in my eyes, but I found them to be VERY dry and had to use rewetting drops mutiple times a day. They also moved around less than the other lenses, but I still found myself blinking hard to get them to settle back to where they should be at times. I think any savings there was over the more expensive lenses would be cancelled out by having to purchase gallons of rewetting drops. They were easy to handle, put in and remove. I would recommend them for the comfort and the value, maybe they just weren't a good fit for my eyes when it comes to the dryness.

Very stable product
By Chipshot
from Pinellis County Florida
I put them in in the morning and take them out 12 hours later. They stay very stable on my eyes with virtually no shifting. Vision remains clear all day. Because they're a little thicker than what I was using they are easier to put in and take out, and don't have a tendency to tear. I get 3-4 weeks usage per pair. They are slightly more expensive that my other brand but not excessively so.I'm retired and have been in contacts for 7+ years, I'm on the golf course 4 days a week and have had no trouble with these contacts drying out.

My 1890s farm home was recently appraised as a 1 bedroom. there are 4 rooms with beds in them and when I purchased the home 7years ago it was a 3 bedroom. The main reason its only a 1 bedroom is cuz there is only one bedroom with a closet. are there any ideas out there where a closet has been added while keeping with the style of the house? Both the appraiser and bank are "hiding" behind the definition of a bedroom having a closet even though when the house was built without them. Needless to say I am hell bent on adding closets with the smallest impact on the rooms footprints.
Sounds to me as if the bank just doesn't want to lend on the house. Is this one of the national banks or a local one? And without being nosy, are you applying for a HELOC? Is it the same or a different bank than the one which presumably financed the house when you purchased it?
I learned a few years ago that Chase had significantly declined its HELOC portfolio and was granting only a few new ones. I also found that some other national banks were really, really picky about HELOCs. I had heard this from other potential mortgagors as well.
Have you tried other banks? Some, including local ones, might be more flexible. I've been told also that local credit unions are more flexible, but I've never verified this. Still, it's worth it to check with others besides the bank which has taken this rigid position.
Do you have a floor plan of the bedrooms that you can post? There are a lot of people here who could help but I suspect any additions would depend on the configuration of the existing bedrooms, unless you want to build out into the rooms.
And for the record, if closet space were a serious issue, you could just get a wardrobe; that's what was used decades ago in some of the European homes.This message has been edited. Last edited by: GardenSprite,
It's not a bank conspiracy, it's just a matter of old vs new. Back when your house was built, 'closets' were frequently furniture pieces. Even if built-in, the old fashioned closets were not deep enough to hang things in from the front.
These days, to be considered a bedroom, it must have space for bed, a 20" deep closet and an opening window or other outside means of egress that is at least 5.7SF clear and can be opened without tools. if it doesn't have that then it cannot be listed as a bedroom. It's just a standard - you can certainly make a room without the above into a bedroom, you just can't market it as such.
Fortunately, it's easy to add closets. Sure, any closet is going to take space away from the room but all you need is to frame out a closet space in a corner, drywall, duplicate trim and door styles, add some shelving and hanging space and you have a closet the looks like it was always there. Depending on your floor plan, you may be able to steal some space from an area between rooms and use them for closet space.
May sound silly but around here there's a few brand new homes being built without closets.
Reason being is the size and type of septic system needed is designed for the # of bedrooms, not the number of rooms or bathrooms.
Also zoning is limiting the number of bedrooms allowed.
Those rules Jaybee mentioned have been around for many years, someone's just catching it now.
One way to build a closit and not have it take away from the look of the room is to build it like this.
Well the rooms have beds, doors, windows and hvac vents. Square footage for each room is about 100 sqft. We had a 3 season porch that I had converted into a guest bedroom but it cannot be considered a bedroom due to it having a door to go outside?!
When we moved in, we had the septic inspected they said it was set up for a boarding house.
In my area all the banks sublet all appraisals go to the same company. I am just finishing up a garage build(snow killed the old one) so it looks like the closets are next on the list. Gotta love old homes!
100SF is tiny - that's like a 10' x 10' space. Going to be tough to add a closet if it takes away from any of that space.
Just because there is an outside door doesn't disqualify the space from being a bedroom. Many bedrooms, especially masters have outside doors to balconies or decks. As long as it still has a closet then it's a bedroom. It just may be that it is easier to see it as something like an office.
Yup, small. 1890s farmhouse in wisconsin.I am pretty sure I can knock into the wall an get 20" deep without too much trouble. Is there a minimum with anyone knows of?
Functional closet space has room for hanging clothes. An average hanger is about 15", add in a little for overhang of clothing and 18" deep is about the minimum you can get by with and still be considered a hanging closet.
Originally posted by Jaybee:

Guess I shouldn't have watched that X-File movie before I posted
Maybe I'm missing something but wouldn't the septic system be more a function of the number of bathrooms than bedrooms, even though in upscale homes there are sometimes as many bathrooms as bedrooms?
Seems like this could lower the developer's costs and shove them down the line to the eventual homeowners, who might have to clean out the septic system more often.
Actually, I'm kind of surprised to learn that septic systems are still installed. Is this a rural area where municipal systems haven't been extended and aren't available?
I'm curious as to the reason behind zoning laws limiting the number of bedrooms. Is this to prevent the McMansion subdivisions?
sewer load is determined by occupants (x) X gallons of water average use per day (40?) this times the permeability of the soil type tells you how much leachfield to have to pipe and/or build in a clay soil. so number of bedrooms looks legit to me.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Swschrad, thanks for the explanation.This message has been edited. Last edited by: GardenSprite,
Rural, sort of.
It's right on the Chesapeake Bay.
Unless they reduce the polution in the bay the Gov. is going to cut off funding for a whole lot of projects.
There closing fishing and shell fishing areas because of e coili.
Not to over analize, The with measurement would be as you are looking @ it. the 20" Depth would be the amount ya can stick your arm in/or how you you would be sticking the hanger in an hanging it on the rod in the center. Sooooooo back to my original question, if 20" is min depth, what would be min with be considered? I am guessing 32" to take in account for a 24"door and framing.
There really is no minimum width - other than as you point out to make it wide enough so that you can install a door. You can make a closet with a 16" wide door and hardly any wing space. So that would make the absolute minimum interior dimensions to be abut 24" wide by 18" deep. Any more that you could squeeze out in either direction would be a bonus.
Joe, thanks for the information. I wasn't aware that there was a pollution problem in the Bay, but it's not surprising given the extent of pollution in our lakes, waterways and oceans.
The Bay is one of many iconic American natural wonders, so it's especially sad that it's befallen hard times.
In this area, so much news has been focused on Detroit and its multitude of problems that little attention is paid to climate problems of other states.
If there are issues addresing waterways surrounding Michigan, it's primarily of the native species invading the Great Lakes, or periodic local pollution of our many inland lakes and rivers.
Detroit needs to have marshal law of just nuke it and start over.
Joe, I think you're right! The situation has been out of control for years, and isn't getting better. Marshal law is an interesting concept but I suspect it would result in a repeat of the 1967 riots. There's so much hostility amongst the populace and the City Council that the whole situation is becoming volatile.
But if they nuke it, I need to get out of Michigan first!

I'm a bit new to the whole customizing wp nav menus and have exhausted all ideas.
I want to output a completely custom nav that first displays all top level list items.
Home | Page 2 | Page 3 | Contact
like so... but I want to make use of a plugin that allows pages to have categories, and each child element of a particular parent will be sorted that way.
Home | Page 2 | Page 3 | Contact
Category A:
Child 1
Child 2
Category B:
Child 1
Child 2
Is there a way to inject a query into the second level of a custom meny to output the desired categories, so the site user can add and delete pages while having them reflect the custom nav?

Went to see the movie Argo last Thursday and, when a fully-bearded Ben Affleck appeared on screen, I thought: "Holy cow, Jason Garrison!" In Argo, Affleck plays the role of CIA agent Tony Mendez and rocks a full beard almost identical to the one Garrison sports on a regular basis. So when we finally caught up Monday to the injured Vancouver Canuck blueliner, we had to ask him whether he and Affleck were separated at birth. "It's funny you mention that," he chuckled, "because I did have a couple of people comment to me about it. It's tough to say who is the better looking one. Obviously I'm going to check out the movie and see the resemblance." Believe it, Jason. You and Ben could be twins …
Ben Affleck, Jason Garrison: separated at birth?
Vancouver Canuck Jason Garrison, starring as … Argo's Ben Affleck (above)?

We've been arguing over this spectacular piece of land for over two decades, first over what kind of development to permit, if any, and if we felt that some development might be appropriate we disagreed over how to negotiate with the land's longtime owner to plan it. Once a majority decided the land should be preserved, we debated how to accomplish that objective. Then we argued over how to pay for the acquisition; and now, since the town has owned it, there have been endless talks over how the Valley Floor should be managed.
A field of dreams, the Valley Floor excites the imagination by its very emptiness: anyone may imagine it to be whatever they would like it to be: if development there is off the table, then instead we can debate whether it is a suitable place for dogs to run, for mechanized trail grooming to suit Nordic skiers, as a landing pad for hang-gliders; and, indeed, whether prairie dogs are a cornerstone species on the landscape or a desecration of it.
This summer's effort by the Telluride Town Council to seek a balance – creating a prairie dog reserve on a part of the property – is now arousing furious antipathy from folks who not only believe that the prairie dogs are unsightly, digging up the land, but a threat to spread disease and to proliferate all over town.
And in opposition to this view are those who believe there is room for this endangered species on the Field of Dreams, that scenic beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that the fear of disease is vastly overblown.
In other words, are the prairie dogs more akin to squirrels or to rats?
To the best of my knowledge there has rarely if ever been a campaign anywhere to eradicate squirrels from a park, while virtually nobody wants to protect a colony of rats.
As there are more and more reports of prairie dogs sighted in town, dead and alive, apparently healthy or possibly diseased, indignation from those who believe they are glorified rats mounts. There seems little doubt at this point that the Town Council should be prepared to revisit the issue, with emotions higher than they were the last time around.
I suppose I should reveal that having grown up in Boulder and not on a ranch, I have a fondness for prairie dogs. I remember there being a prairie dog colony near my preschool, at what is now a busy commercial intersection, and I remember being taken to watch the animals pop in and out of their holes and being totally entranced by them. Some years ago I read a book about the ecology of the Great Plains and was deeply impressed by the argument that prairie dogs are a cornerstone species, and by a discussion of all the roles they play, making them essential to a well-functioning ecology where they have a niche.
They are not a natural part of this high alpine ecology, some might argue. No niche here.
Well, I don't know about that. The Valley Floor long ago ceased being a naturally functioning ecosystem. Before miners arrived and channelized the river, we can surmise that the lowlands of the Valley Floor were filled with beaver ponds. Who knows if there were prairie dogs on the dry uplands? But we also know that there were wolves and Grizzlies in the neighborhood, whose absence is clearly felt.
In any case, my imagined Valley Floor – as it may have existed before human interference – is as much an expression of my sensibility as is anyone else's vision for what the Valley Floor was, is or can be. I'm in what is surely a minority and would be thrilled to see a Valley Floor wolf pack chasing the Valley Floor elk around and keeping the prairie dogs honest. Not that I think that it will ever happen, at least not in my lifetime.
I remember meeting Neal Blue years ago to ask about his plans for his prized property, back when some of us thought we might broker an agreement for its future, and hearing his vision for the most fabulous and exclusive resort in the world, a hotel, a golf course with homes on the fairways, a gondola link to the ski area, and artificial lakes. When I mentioned the possibility of a restored ecosystem instead, and suggested that the opportunity to visit a rare high altitude wetlands might be more of a tourist draw than yet another high altitude golf course, his wife was absolutely horrified.
Why would anybody want to come see that? she asked, incredulous.
I can easily guess which side of the prairie dog debate Mrs. Blue would be on.
The Blues' concept of beauty was as abhorrent to me as my concept of beauty was incomprehensible to them. Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Blue seemed to feel that a stranger's suggestion for how their property ought to be used was impertinent, at best. Now they no longer own all of the Valley Floor (just key parts of it). We residents of Telluride own the bulk of it. And some locals are as far apart from other locals as the Blues and I were far apart almost twenty years ago.
This is, of course, ultimately why these Valley Floor arguments become so heated. How we see that land is an unmistakable reflection of who we are. Our disparate visions of what that land was, is or could be separates us, our opposing visions show us how much we differ in temperament and fundamental values, and this divides us. We fight over the Valley Floor as if we were fighting over the very soul of Telluride, which in a sense is precisely what we are doing.
Because we all know that one person's paradise can be another person's abomination.
And the poor prairie dogs are now caught up in the middle of this collision of sensibilities.
Are they rodents to be exterminated? Or a cornerstone species to be protected?
These are irreconcilable views. Council will most likely try to refine the compromise, to find a better way to satisfy both sides, to protect the prairie dogs as much as possible without imposing them on the rodent haters. Once again, the Valley Floor will define us, as a community.
Manage the prairie dogs? Move them? Exterminate them?
It will be interesting to see how this one plays out.

Real were Europe's number one team last season, says Mourinho
Real Madrid were the best team in Europe last season and it is going to be tough to match their record-breaking achievements this time round, coach Jose Mourinho said on Saturday.
The club accumulated an unprecedented 100 points, scoring 121 goals, to win La Liga for the first time in four years in May and they begin the defence of their title at home to Valencia on Sunday.
"We aren't looking to beat records, only to be champions," Mourinho told a news conference. "Every season is different and the important thing is always to be ambitious.
"The team has reached a good level and it was the best team in Europe last season."
Real ended Barcelona's three-year reign as champions to secure their 32nd league title but the trophy they really crave is the Champions League, won by Mourinho's old club Chelsea in May.
Last season, for the second year in a row, Real made it to the semi-finals where they suffered an agonising penalty shootout defeat at the Bernabeu to Bayern Munich.
"We won the most difficult La Liga with unparalleled figures and a fantastic standard of play," Portuguese Mourinho added.
"We know what we can do and we are going to try and maintain the levels of play, the team spirit and the levels of ambition. If we do this we will be candidates to win all the competitions."
Turkey playmaker Nuri Sahin, who rarely featured in an injury-blighted season after joining from Borussia Dortmund a year ago, is set to leave Real on loan.
"The most important thing is that he is happy," Mourinho said. "The best for him and for Madrid is that he goes out on loan.
"Madrid don't want to sell him. He needs to play and to prove himself."
Visiting Valencia are a changed side under new coach Mauricio Pellegrino. They finished third last season, 39 points adrift of Real.

This was not my choice, but it will not be my undoing either. ~~yewtree
I've been on such a rollercoaster of emotions, but I've never really broken down. I haven't cried, haven't screamed, nothing. I'm really worried that one day soon I'm just going to crack. Am I still in shock?
you mean you've never cried? WOW! I can't help myself - all these hormones and stuff. I don't know if you're in shock or just too busy with the new baby and everything to take some time for your feelings to register. How are you getting through this?
Welcome to the new members sorry to find you in this thread but glad you found us.
I am doing a little better we actually picked names now. I have about 7 weeks to go hoping things will get better either before or after the birth. I haven't done anything yet though no crib up, baby clothes still need to be gone through ect ect.
Sending hugs to all the members in this thread think we could all use it.
My due date is Aug 12 via C-section so I expect delivery around the 4th. We don't know what the sex is they won't tell here due to cultural issues.
Maybe that's it -- I'm just numb? I don't have any other explanation.
I'm due July 20th, It's going to be my second boy and I am having a c-section (or so planned...) Haven't decided on a name yet...
Trying to get through things...
Our continuous issue is money. Wednesday, he was going to take care of everything; no need for welfare he said; I'll have a check to you by Friday,he said. Friday, no check...it'll be there tomorrow; he also said that he'll do what he needs to to help me get welfare; he did drop off some cash though. When I asked him about it, he said that I'm not satisfied with anything. That's not it, I believe that if you say something, you should have some follow through. He's never had it before, why would I expect it now. He's quit me just like everything else in his life.
He's taking our daughter today for father's day. Please help me get through this. It's like the beginning of the visitations now.
I was 5 months pg with #5 when I had found out about my FWH's EA. Hurt like hell. I lost it. The day after her birth, it ALL came flooding back. She is supposed to be out last baby and I get to look back on all that! Before I found out he didn't even want our daughter (and a few of the other kids). Although we are reconciled, I feel like he owes me and that I deserve another chance to have a happy pregnancy. I want more children and he doesn't but I feel that he should suck it up and give me what I want. Wrong line of thinking I know. Has anyone ever felt like that??
I am so sorry this is happening to you. I wish for all of us on this board to just have the ability to forget what has been going on. It would be so much easier to just focus on having our babies. I guess I am kind of lucky. My fiance is literally thrilled to become a father. He is getting scared though because the time is coming lol. When he is at work (he works nights), he constantly checks up on me to see if I am ok. I think he's worried that one night he will go into work and I'll go into labor!
Affairs are hard enough without being forced into having the joy that you should feel with a pregnancy/baby being tainted by all this. It makes me so sad to see all of you that have been robbed of so much by the thoughtless actions of your husbands.
I'm an old member of this group. I just wanted to share a brief look at my story and what did happen to me after the pregnant and betrayed part of my life.
I did have D-day while I was pregnant with my son. Hit like a ton of bricks and hurt so bad. I lost weight, felt disconnected to my child, and completely cheated out of my pregnancy and being happy and all that goes with it. Why couldn't my husband just CHERISH me while I was carrying his child. Why throw me away and treat me like dirt?
My husband decided to leave a few weeks after d-day. He did a fake R. He just filed for divorce and left me alone in the house at 7 months. I had been alone anyways while he was out with his As but this time he had taken all his clothes out of the closet and up and left for good. I hurt so much and didn't care about myself. My baby was probably the only reason that I kept going. I kept saying it wasn't fair to him if I gave up too.
I ended up having my son alone. Being technically married but alone in the hospital was so surreal. Having a newborn by myself was so hard. I kept telling myself, it isn't suppossed to be like this. I could never wrap my head around why my XH chose a married older woman over us. Nothing I did... deserved what he did to me.. to our child.
So I hit the anger stage and it took about a year to divorce. My son was 8months old at that time when my marriage ended. My XH sent in child support but we got nothing else, no extras, no gifts, no nothing.
To make a long story short. I did meet someone wonderful. He's been a wonderful dad to my son and now we have a daughter together. I did get that dream pregnancy. My XH still doesn't get it. I am amazed how far I have come. We didn't miss my XH because he had never been around anyways. You can't miss what you never had!
Anyways, I'm sort of glad that things happened this way. I'm much more happier now than I was with my XH. It was a blessing in disguise. Now, looking back.. I wish I would have left the moment I found out I was pregnant. I would have left HIS A$$!!
Remember, everything happens for a reason. You might not see the big picture now but later on you might. In the end, if my XH was stupid enough to file for divorce and lose us and to treat my son and I so badly and to pick the OW over us .. then that was my sign that I couldn't go back to that nor raise my child with him. It was just too much.
I made it, and so can you! Love your babies!

I am expecting # three soon. I have a 13 year old Grant Anthony Fink and an 18 month old Brady Tann Fink (family name, Tann is short for Jonathan). I am at a loss for names I think this time around.
My husband likes Savannah and Delaney. I say no to both Jimmy Buffet names. He also loves Delilah which I can do because I love Lilah. I love Grace, Claire, Mary Claire, and Lila/h.
For boys I love Tate and Finn. Finn is out due to our last name. I LOVE Henry but DH says no. I also love Carter and Travis, both used up by friends of ours. My husband likes Liam and John. I could do Liam but not so much with John.
Please help! What other names sound great with Grant and Brady? I am stuck this time when it was so easy they last two times! I want something different but not super trendy (don't we all!). I like classic and different. DH is just different. Please help.
Thank you!!!!
I am just dying for the new edition of The Baby Name Wizard to come out! DYING! Well, we'll use what we've got. The book suggests these sibling names for Grant: Paige, Hope, Elena, Victoria, Claire; Reid, Miles, Bond, Spencer, Preston. And these sibling names for Brady: Avery, Payton, Macy, Brenna, Madelyn; Parker, Riley, Carter, Bryson, Drake. Do any of those (other than Claire and Carter, which were already on your list) seem like candidates?
Elena and Miles and Brenna are all names from my own baby name lists, so of course I'm in favor of those---but I think Brenna is too close to Brady. I'll add Lena, which is similar to Elena. I like Elena best, though: it's similar in sound and rhythm to Delaney, which your husband likes, but is more in line with your choices of Claire and Lila. And I like it with your surname: Elena Fink. Maybe Elena Claire Fink or Elena Grace Fink.
Carter is a name I keep putting on my baby name list but having to scratch out because surname names are bad with my surname, but I think it's great with yours. Friends are different about whether it's okay to use the same name: if you're going with "no," then I suggest Carson. Another surname name I like is Turner. Carson Fink is my favorite, though, if Carter is out of the running. Maybe Carson Travis Fink, or Carson John Fink.
I'm never sure how to do the polls when there are both girl and boy names to choose from. Usually I put all the names in one poll and let people choose one boy name and one girl name---but this time let's try it a different way.

Girl names (236 votes total):
Delilah: 39 votes, roughly 17%
Grace: 10 votes, roughly 4%

Lila/Lilah: 71 votes, roughly 30%
Elena: 63 votes, roughly 27%
Lena: 11 votes, roughly 5%

Liam: 55 votes, roughly 22%
Miles: 38 votes, roughly 16%

Name update 02-17-2009. Heather writes:
We have not had baby boy #3 yet but we have selected his name. My father in law passed away very unexpectedly on January 20th after complications due to a hospital stay for minor out patient surgery. He was only 62 and very healthy so it was a shock to us. My FIL loved Harley motorcycles, riding them and being outdoors. I am not a fan of the name Harley so we decided to go with the name Ryder as our own inside tribute to the great man "Paw Paw" was.
Baby #3 will be named Ryder Donald Fink. First name at tribute to the hobby Paw Paw loved and the middle name Paw Paw's first name. We love it as our personal tribute to him and now our baby will carry on a piece of the grandpa he will not be able to know.
Thank you so much for the name ideas and the polls. Carter had been our choice until we lost Paw Paw.
Thank you again!

I wrote in a few months ago about our name issues. We had decided on Ryder Donald Fink but once our little guy was born (4/29/09) we knew he was a Matthew just like his dad. Matthew Donald joins big brother Grant Anthony and Brady Tann. We are so in love with our new little man. Thank you for your baby naming help. Just goes to show it can all change once you meet the little person :)
