Seeing as Sony is being hush about what the console will look like, how would everyone feel about petitioning Sony to have a design competition? (self.gaming)

I'm sure the odds are super low that anything like this would ever happen, but how many of you guys would want to at least be able to submit basic forms and shapes/colors for the new system?
Feel free to post some sketches and ideas for what you want/imagine it to look like. Also, anyone who wants to try to make this a real thing feel free to run with the idea. I am not a huge gamer but in the little bit I have seen I keep seeing that there is plenty of time before release.
So why not just pretend and let your creative juices flow!

Virginia Cotton: 2 Favorable Windows for Planting in April
It looks like we'll see two favorable windows to plant cotton in April.
Surprisingly, the first one began this past weekend. On Monday and Tuesday some thermometers could see upper 80s to possibly about 90 degrees. That is going to satisfy all of the temperature requirements we use, giving us several days to plant.
Looking at the weather ahead, on Monday, April 23, we are going to see some 40 degree nights that will not be favorable for planting. So after this dip in temperature, the second favorable window to plant will show up around April 26.
I personally would be more comfortable waiting for this second period in April. Even though many farmers in this region, and in Virginia more than North Carolina, like to wait until May to plant, there are some compelling reasons to at least get started in April as long as the weather is good. This is particularly true if your harvest is at capacity.
Nevertheless, I am a fan of planting the majority of the cotton in May, even with some extending to the second half of May. Ultimately a long planting season is a good risk management strategy. So, "Get on your mark …"
Rose on Cotton: Demand May Be Turning a Corner
The ICE Dec and Mar contracts gave back 160 and 87 points on the week, respectively, as last week's inversion between the two contracts gave way to partial carry. Well,

He was named Orville, after world famous aviator Orville Wright, and now he can mimic his namesake in death as he never could in life.
Orville the cat's nine lives ran out after being hit by a car last year; but rather than simply paying his respects and burying him peacefully, Orville's owner Bart Jansen has turned him into a work of art.
Orville's body has been stuffed, poked, prodded and turned into a remote control helicopter.
Dubbed the 'Orvillecopter', Jansen's stuffed cat is one of the showcase exhibits at this year's Kunstrai art festival in Amsterdam.
Arms outsretched and with rotors attached to his paws, Orville's body zooms about the gallery, to the amazement of onlookers.
Mr Jansen says Orville is now 'part cat, part machine', and can finally fly around with the birds he loved to chase so much.
Jansen's dreams of feline flight don't end there, he plans to attach larger rotors to the poor pussy so he can reach new heights – all in the name of art, of course.
No word yet on whether the KittenCopter will be this year's most sought after Christmas gift.

Why am I asked, every single time I try to log into support, to reset my password ? I've done this a million times now and still I have to go through the rigmarole every time!
I never get the question...
There is a notification that WP reset passwords after some problems. The notification does not mean that you have to change passwords, it's just a note for people mistyping their passwords.
Interesting. Because it NEVER lets me use the password that I chose, I have to set the whole thing and end up with one that wp has chosen and which I have no hope of ever remembering. Even referring to the email later, it never works.
Delete your saved passwords from your browser. I know Firefox was a complete ninny when it came to changing passwords.
thanks. I never saved any passwords.
Still getting the same issue. Every single time I try to log in with the last password reset, I'm told to reset again.
That message saying that passwords were reset in June needs to be removed!!!!!
Why am I still going round and round this loop ?
Try emptying your browser cache and deleting all cookies.
Okay I REALLY am getting fed up with this.
I've followed all your suggestions and still I'm having to log in every single time and get a new password.
It's taking up too much time. Would apprecaite it if anyone has any suggestions that I haven't tried yet.,
I hate to say it, but it's you. It's not your account (everything looks fine and you can post when you log in) so ... all I have left is this:
Try a different browser.

CHICAGO (AP) - The Chicago Blackhawks beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 in a shootout Tuesday night to give them 16 straight games with at least one point, matching the NHL record to start a season.
Chicago will go for the record Friday night when it hosts the San Jose Sharks for the second time in a week. But it could be without star forward Marian Hossa for that one after the winger had to be helped off the ice during the third period following a forearm to the back of the head from Vancouver forward Jannik Hansen.
Alexander Edler and Kevin Bieksa each scored in the final 2:42 of regulation for the Canucks, who opened a four-game trip with their third consecutive loss. Daniel Sedin had a goal and an assist, and twin brother Henrik had two assists.
After Jonathan Toews of Chicago and Jordan Schroeder of Vancouver were denied in the shootout, Kane skated in on Cory Schneider and tried to stuff one in close to the goal. It was waved off as the puck trickled into the net, leading to boos from the sellout crowd and an exasperated reaction from Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville.
Replays showed Schneider knocked it in with his glove, and the officials put the goal on the board after a short review.
Chris Higgins then converted his chance for the Canucks, and Shaw put the Blackhawks ahead once again with a nice backhander. That put all the pressure on Ryan Kesler, whose shot was gloved by Ray Emery to end the game.
Patrick Sharp scored in regulation for the second time in two games for the Blackhawks, who have won seven of eight overall. Emery, subbing again for Corey Crawford, made 29 saves to improve to 6-0 this season.

This is a group for all fans of My Bloody Valentine and fans of Bilinda Butcher.
This is a group for all fans of My Bloody Valentine and fans of Bilinda Butcher, the band's co-vocalist and guitarist.
She rules. MBV rules. Feel free to use the forums, shoutbox, whatever to talk about the band and its members. Be chill.
Butcher was raised in London and then Derbyshire. She went on to study dance at Laban College in London, but she dropped out after a year due to developing a case of cystitis. She explained to the Melody Maker that, "I had to keep going to the loo, and I couldn't get my leotard on and off quick enough. I missed all of the classes." After leaving Laban, she worked briefly as a nanny for a French family in London.
My Bloody Valentine
Butcher joined My Bloody Valentine in 1987, replacing original vocalist Dave Conway. Butcher, whose previous musical experience was playing classical guitar as a child and singing and playing tambourine "with some girlfriends for fun", learned that the group needed a backing vocalist. She was finally chosen, beating out "this girl, Julie, who was going out with Douglas Hart from The Jesus and Mary Chain." Butcher became co-vocalist, as well as co-guitarist and co-lyricist along with Kevin Shields. She first appeared on the band's Strawberry Wine EP.
While Kevin Shields is MBV's principal guitarist, producer, and songwriter, Butcher's vocals became a trademark of the band's ethereal, yet dissonant sound. The band went on to release the influential albums Isn't Anything in 1988 and Loveless in 1991 to international critical acclaim.
Following Loveless, MBV became mostly inactive except for the occasional remix, or song contribution for compilations. The band reunited for selected tour dates in 2008, and they plan to release recordings. Shields mentioned in an interview on Soft Focus UK (www.VBS.tv) with Ian Svenonius in November 2007 that he and Butcher had recorded songs in the mid-90's, and they plan to use those recordings for a full-length album, as well as record an additional album of new material.

Hi Jazz79,would you like to share API620 file?? I need that file. Thanks....
Hi friends,
Im design a vessel/tank and the customer wants us to use API620, I want to know if I can use ASME instead, is this allowed???
› See More: API 620 vs ASME VIII Div1
Hi Jazz79,would you like to share API620 file?? I need that file. Thanks....
Tanks (Storage tanks) are to API620 or API650 or other "Tank" standards whereas ASME VIII is a pressure vessel Code. Your pressures may be outside the Scope of ASME VIII. Using ASME VIII is well over the top for design of a Tank.
Recent Threads by DSB123 :
API 620 IS FOR TANK DESIGN AND ASME SEC VIII DEV1 IS FOR DESIGN OF PRESSURE VESSELS. If you can not find any design particulars in API 620, you can refer ASME sec VIII.
Ultimately ASME SEC VIII is bible for design considerations

Local business owners get a chance to make contacts
Published: Sunday, March 19, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 18, 2006 at 10:21 p.m.
THIBODAUX -- Business owners and representatives looking for new leads and contracts have an opportunity to speak with 30 companies all under one roof this week.
The South Louisiana Economic Council will conduct its 2nd Annual Bayou Region Business Matchmaker event Thursday at En Vie Banquet Facilities, 210 N. Canal Blvd. in Thibodaux.
Last years event, attended by about 250 area business representatives, was a big hit for both exhibitors and attendees, said Charles Gaiennie, economic council spokesman.
A total of 720 follow-up appointments among exhibitors and attendees were made due to last years matchmaker event, according to figures from the U.S. Small Business Administration, Gaiennie said as well as exit polling.
"We followed up with exhibiting companies to find out if it was worth it to them," Gaiennie said. Exhibitors "all just raved that this was one of the best, meaning they were able to see the types of companies they were looking for."
This years matchmaker event will be missing a couple of exhibitors from last year because their New Orleans offices were put out of commission by the hurricanes, Gaiennie said.
Some of Louisianas prime contractors, including the Shaw Group and CH2M Hill, both of whom hold major FEMA contracts for hurricane-rebuilding efforts, will have representatives at Thursdays gathering.
So far, 30 exhibitors are scheduled to attend, about five more than last year.
U.S. Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-Napoleonville, will open this years show with a 10- to 15-minute speech, followed by Thibodaux Mayor Charles Caillouet cutting the ribbon.
"Melancons been doing everything he can to keep focus on rebuilding," he said, including organizing the lawmakers tour of hurricane-damaged areas in early March. "Hes tried not to let the focus die down on this region. "

A different way to listen to music
The Stiletto is not intended to be an MP3 player, although it can play MP3s and WMAs, including subscription tracks (though subscribing to both Yahoo Music and Sirius is overkill). In fact, you get less than a gigabyte of storage for your own tracks (2GB overall for the unit). We'd love to see something closer to 8GB. The Stiletto's main gig is its satellite radio, the receiver and antenna for which are built into the chassis. In addition to playing Sirius' 130-plus channels of music and other content (sports, talk radio, Howard Stern, even content from Playboy), it can record up to 10 hours of songs. It can also record up to 100 hours of channel-specific content--or blocks of music that aren't specific to a song. It's easy to save and access 30 presets--up to 10 presets in each of three banks.
We've seen many other satellite receivers that can pause and replay a song or channel--including Sirius' own S50 and the XM Inno/Helix. The Stiletto does this well (you can rewind the last 60 minutes of live recording) and with razor precision. It's a Tivo-like feature, and you can schedule recordings in any time increments (60 minutes by default). By recording regularly, you can expect to have instant content to access when you are offline or just don't have a satellite signal (and as satellite users know, there can be down times indoors, underground, and between tall buildings). With receivers like the Stiletto, you'll more often be listening to recorded content than you'd think. And thanks to the Radio Replays feature, which quietly records your favorite stations into any available space, you'll always have stuff to listen to.
In addition to your own MP3s and the content you've recorded into the well-organized library, the Stiletto combats satellite patchiness with a unique feature: the ability to hop onto a Wi-Fi network and stream Sirius content via the Internet. While it works only with 802.11b networks, the feature works well. When you select Internet Radio, the system scans for networks and then displays a list with signal strength and WEP/WPA status. When you hop on one, your channel list will populate. It doesn't yet work with pay-only hot spots like those from T-Mobile, but you can easily enter passwords for conventional hot spots. This feature is most practical at home or at the gym, where the only signal you might get is Wi-Fi. It's important to note that Wi-Fi sound quality is much worse than the excellent-sounding satellite sound--maybe a step above AM radio, though you can now opt to receive "CD quality" 128kbps streams for an extra $2.99 /month. You're also limited to a little more than half the channels with Wi-Fi, though you'll still get the most popular ones, such as the one with Howard Stern. Also, you can't pause and replay, nor can you record Internet-based songs (though you can add the tags to your favorites database).
The Stiletto can also display stock and sports tickers. The sports setting enables you to select your favorite teams in all the popular leagues.
The My Sirius Studio software is necessary to transfer MP3s and WMAs to the Stiletto (transfer times are on the slow side). You'll also see a list of your favorites, as well as the stuff you've recorded in the software upon syncing (though you can't transfer or listen to recorded content). In addition to playlist management and streaming Sirius channels over the Internet, the software will check for updates to the Stiletto firmware (updates over Wi-Fi are supposed be coming soon). You'll also get Yahoo Music Engine in the package, and though we haven't tested the subscription feature, we'd don't see why anybody would really need this.
Nice sound--but battery life and antenna headphones could be better
The Stiletto is a decent performer, though as with all satellite radio devices, the more access to the open sky, the better. With the antenna headphones (which offer a boost in performance), live satellite was pretty decent in San Francisco--even when walking between skyscrapers. I did most of my listening near a window on the fifth floor of a building. From there, the plain old earbud route worked well, with two of three signal bars present. Sound quality is nice and punchy, especially with my big Sony cans on (some readers will swear that Sirius sounds a little better than XM, and I tend to agree). Strangely, there is no equalizer.
Battery life is a problem with most portable satellite radios, so luckily the Stiletto comes with two of them--the standard one that juts out and the slim one that holds half the juice. The standard battery is rated to last 4 hours for live satellite radio, 8 hours for Internet radio, and a nice 20 hours for library music (including MP3s and recorded content). For basic playback (with the satellite receiver turned off), CNET Labs' tests managed to beat the rated time by 3.2 hours. While library playback is impressive on paper, 4 hours for live radio isn't ideal. You'll find, however, that once the Stiletto no longer powers the receiver, you can switch to Internet or Library mode and still get a few hours out of it. It would be useful to be able to charge the extra battery while not in use, but you can't. Also, while there is an onscreen recharge indicator (a green plus-sign), you can't tell if the unit is recharging when it's powered off. I also noticed that the Stiletto gets really warm.
Though it's far from perfect, the Stiletto 100 is a fine first effort and sets the bar high for future versions. The pricey device could be a little slimmer, ship with better headphones, have better battery life, and include more memory--all things that could one day make the iPod an afterthought for music lovers. But for now, the excellence of this product stems from an interface that maximizes enjoyment for the user.

Project AWARE's online environmental community working together for ocean protection.
User Profile
Malama Na 'Apapa is a non-profit corporation founded to preserve, sustain and restore valuable coral reef ecosystems locally on Kauai.
Malama means to care for or take care of and Apapa means the reef flat and corals so put together it means "To care for the coral reefs."
Some of the activities and things we do to care for the coral reefs include.
In water reef clean ups where we dive and remove large commercial fishing nets that drift onto the coral reefs and get entangled in the coral, Beach clean ups, reef ecology studies, marine biology classes, Scuba certification courses for volunteers, and hopefully in the future coral and fish propagation and turtle husbandry programs.
Coral reefs are home to more than 25% of all marine life. They are the basis of the ocean food chain that supports the larger fish in which millions of people rely on for food and income. Without healthy coral reefs we would not have beautiful reefs to snorkel and dive at. Our favorite sea creatures such as turtles, sea horses, frog fish, angel fish, lobsters and octopus would disappear. Taking care of the coral reefs has many benefits for everyone.

Research Institution:
AbstractDESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The BROAD OBJECTIVE of this project is to produce a family of urgently needed quality controls for use in molecular Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) diagnostic tests. Quality controls are required by good laboratory practice and federal regulations to assure accuracy of all medical laboratory tests. The SPECIFIC AIMS are to 1) Produce E. Coli cells that parallel the properties of M. tuberculosis in DNA based molecular testing, 2) Clone gene sequences used to identify drug resistance in M. tuberculosis tests, and 3) Produce and evaluate prototype products. This Phase II work will develop a novel method to produce cloned E. coli with toughened, chemically crosslinked membranes containing synthetic M. tuberculosis DNA sequences for use as quality controls in molecular M. tuberculosis tests. Materials of this type are a necessary part of the infrastructure for the implementation of the new and rapid molecular technologies for M. tuberculosis testing. Efficient and accurate diagnoses, which are the promise of this new technology, are key to treatment and prevention of the major global health threat presented by M. tuberculosis. Enhancing the diagnostic tools and infrastructure enabling improved diagnostic testing is an important part of the NIAID mission. Further, in the "FOCUS on TB" agency mission: "NIAID supports a robust portfolio of research to develop new drugs and diagnostics----". The quality controls to be produced are a key element in developing and implementing new molecular diagnostic M. tuberculosis tests. In the RESEARCH DESIGN, molecular methods are used to produce clones that contain DNA sequences utilized in M. tuberculosis diagnosis. Mutant and wild type clones are constructed with sequences used in testing for drug resistance mutations. Methods traditionally used to fix membranes for electron microscopy studies are adapted to harden the membranes of the clone cells and to deactivate cellular nucleases. The fixing time, fixative adjuncts, and fixative concentrations are varied until the cell structure is hardened to a point where its release of nucleic acid during the clinical testing process is very similar to that of M. tuberculosis bacilli. The products will be evaluated in clinical laboratory molecular M. tuberculosis tests and fixing parameters adjusted to produce a material that is optimal for monitoring common molecular M. tuberculosis test.

For two of the past three years Sadie Schaffner made powerful contributions to Bartlesville High's volleyball success despite playing in the shadows of a couple of older superstars.
But, instead of her game being stunted in the penumbra, Schaffner's skills blossomed.
With the graduation last spring of All-State teammates Danielle Koster and Johanna Hartsock, the spotlight fell mostly on Schaffner during this past season.
The 6-foot-3 middle/outside hitter didn't disappoint.
She led the team in hitting, served a storm of aces, collected plenty of bruises and scrapes diving to the hardwood for saves and made enough blocks to obtain her masonry union card.
With Schaffner leading the way at the net — while being ably flanked by fellow seniors Dalania Blocker and Haley Polk — the Lady Bruins carved out a winning record and came up just one match short of advancing to state.
In addition, Schaffner and her Lady Bruin teammates beat both Jenks and Tulsa Union — probably the first time ever Bartlesville has beaten both those esteemed foes in the same season.
As a junior, Schaffner helped the Lady Bruins advance to the state semifinals for the first time in the program's history.
Now, Lady Bruin head coach Tom Williams has to bid good-bye to his three-year starter.
But, Schaffner is a long ways away from bidding good-bye to competitive volleyball.
She has verbally committed to a volleyball scholarship from Oral Roberts University, and expects to sign with the school sometime in the next few days.
ORU will be obtaining the services of one of the top 250 high school senior volleyball players in the nation, according to Prepvolleyball.com, which named Schaffner one of its 2012 Senior Aces.
As she stands in the twilight between a successful prep volleyball career and the opportunity to play in college, Schaffner is grateful for the path that has brought her to this point.
"I really enjoyed just building relationships with the girls and being able to have success with them on the court," Schaffner said during a recent interview. "I'll miss our pregame preparations. It was really fun, fun stuff together."
Schaffner, who didn't start in volleyball until eighth grade, admitted she and her fellow seniors — which included Heather Armstrong, Blocker, Nicole Duesi, Lindi Hogan, Hanna Manuellian, Jenna Parnell and Polk — felt a tidal wave of pressure coming into this season.
No one more so than Schaffner, who was one of only two returning varsity starters, and had watched Koster and Hartsock spearhead the attack the previous two campaigns.
"It was definitely a new challenge for me, because I was always underneath them and they were the leaders," she said. "This year, me and the other seniors had to step up and take charge. It was really cool to take that new challenge and to be in that position this year.
"I love it. I love taking charge. When I'm under pressure I play all the better."
In no match did that leadership manifest itself more than in the late-season match against Tulsa Union.
Trailing two-games-to-none, the Lady Bruins rallied to win the next three games and claim the match.
"That was definitely a big match for us," Schaffner said.
Bartlesville met Union again in the regional championship game. The Lady Redskins dealt out a heaping helping of revenge — but not without the Lady Bruins pushing them to the limit.
Schaffner's next school volleyball address will by ORU, which fit her wish list for a college opportunity.
"They're a really prestigious Division I school," she said. "They're closer to home, and it just kind of fell into place. They have a really great coaching staff. I already knew the coaches from club ball."
Schaffner believes attitude and love of the game are two of the assets she'll offer to the ORU program.
"I feel like I bring a lot of optimism and I like to keep things positive and always moving to the next play," she said in assessing her strengths. "I strive to push myself in my play and in my skills."
Meanwhile, she said she'd continue to work on improving her physical game and strive to get quicker.
"I feel like I'm really ready to step up," said Schaffner.
Step up she did, clobbering 393 kills and delivering 43 aces, as well as her impressive 2.48 serve-receive state and her blocks and digs.
Coach Tom Williams praised Schaffner for her attitude, including her willingness to work hard and set a good example.
Her main strength in college should be her ability to hit and block, he added.
Schaffner soon won't forget the aura of her senior season at Bartlesville, during which the Lady Bruins surprised their skeptics and foiled those who thought they would fold after graduating Koster, Hartsock, setter Kelsey Gerrish and other key players.
"It was a challenge to come together at a fun pace," Schaffner said. "We shared some fun memories together. We had a pretty solid season."
Schaffner is now leaving her own big shadow behind — one that will stretch through the next few years and help bind together the program's powerful tradition.

Are there any communities in America or Israel where women cover their hair before marriage? Do Satmar women cover their hair before marriage?
Sign up

Sefardic women have a custom of covering when praying. See Yabia Omer,Yalkut Yosef or Halacha Berurah 2:19, where he says to be strict and cover when mentioning God's name, learning the Bible, saying blessings, bircat hamazon, or praying. In any case he brings that widespread practice is that single girls don't cover her hair.
In Israel there is a recent Cult that does in the United States currently there is no such thing. For some info on the Cult read Here:
It is not true that there aren't communities where this is done, rather most people are just ignorant to the fact that there are. These communities are not only found in Israel but other places as well. What happens is that often times, they keep to themselves, and people assume that the young single girls are married when they see them in public so they just don't know. The married women wear a double head covering just like men in many fervently orthodox communities do. This is the radid, the traditional Jewish (think Biblical) veil. This is still done in Yemen and in recently founded Yemenite diasporic communities including in NYC and in its suburbs. Since people tend to get tunnel vision, they don't notice that these girls don't have wedding rings on.
The Magein Avraham in siman 75 s.k. 3 has an interesting aproach to the subject. In order to mantain that the Shulchan Aruch does not contradict itself and to maintain the Rambam's opinion in light of a seemingly contradictory Gemara, he asserts that the pruas rosh that is assur for a single girl does not simply mean uncovered, but rather means let lose.
And there are communities that are very strict that single girls not walk with lose hair. Most hassidic communities keep girls hair in ponies. In some Israeli communities, old time Meah Shaarim comes to mind, the girls keep their hair in braids.
These minhagim are all built off the Magen Avraham and his understanding of Pruas Rosh by single girls. So in that sense, many people are stringent on this, even today. But even the Magen Avraham points out this is only a Rabbinic degree of tznius, not biblical.
I have seen the rabbanith in Manhattan's Tifereth Israel with a radid, and it was a beautiful sheer or lace veil that was cascading down her back and very wide. It was feminine and had almost (but not quite) a bridal quality to it, but still clearly not a wedding veil. It was also the only time I saw her, and I looked it up and that was how I learned about the radid (radhidh).

1996 Cadillac Eldorado Touring 2dr Coupe
This car is awesome!! Mine is the Metallic Maroon with the Tan leather. With the Cadillac chrome wheels, it is definitely an eye catcher. The Northstar engine purrs like a kitten, the brakes are very confident building, and the ride is great. I really can't find much negative to say about the car, but for a car that is 14 plus years old, I will put it up against many of the later products, foreign or domestic. For the investment, it is one of the smartest that I can think of.
The curb appeal is outstanding for the age of the car. The performance is STILL better than most cars.
Access to the rear is somewhat awkward, but that is not an issue in most instances.
For all the Cadillac fans out the who really appreciate their luxury car, you need to test drive one of these suckers. They move like no other, and sped pass a BMW 74Li. Thats a 'Lac!!!
Acceleration and maneuverability.
I bought this car used, fully optioned, with a cabriolet roof and chrome on the top of the front and left fenders. It is Crimson Pearl with a tan interior and added extra Zebranno wood. It looks very distictive. My family are snow birds, it is what you need when going from Canada to Florida each year. In the three years of owning this car the brakes and battery are all I needed to replace. I had lent it to my 83 year old mom. I haven't seen her or my car for awhile.
I like how it has 300 hp, is very quick, and has ABS and traction control. You feel safe when driving in wet conditions. The Eldoradi is a great road car.
The leather tends to wear out quickly on the arm front armrests and driver's seat. It consumers a quart of oil every 1,500 miles. Too bad they stopped making it.
These car is extremely fun to drive
albeit the 300hp ETC tends
to "nosetail" at full push. Get it with
Bose system and the ride only gets
better. It lumbers in evasive
manuevers, but the sheer "push you back
in your seat" will impress. This car
depreciates so bad, it's a great buy in
any used condition. Reliability?? Too
much fun to think about the fact this
car has 3 fuseboxes.
Bose system

While this plugin appears to work for 3.2.1, it was not obvious when first implemented.
Our RSS feed for our WordPress site was set to update hourly and as a result, it didn't immediately show the new image media that was being linked in the feed. This isn't the plugin's fault, of course, but it's still something to keep in mind when setting this up for the first time.
One problem I did find with the plugin was with its "Select the size of the images" options on the plugin's settings (Thumbnail, Medium Size, Full Size).
These don't line up with the options in Media settings (Thumbnail size, Medium size, Large size) nor the Gallery settings when editing a post (Thumbnail, Medium, Large, Full Size). On the plugin page, it says, "You can change the dimension of this sizes under Settings/ Media." Then why is it that the Large size is missing? This is very confusing and I'm still a bit unsure of how these settings are being fed.
It's also unclear how exactly this is working with images that are uploaded through the Gallery and dynamically generated to the size dimensions specified in Media.

I've been struggling for a couple of days now with the following...
I'm trying to find a way to instantiate a number of objects which I can name via a raw_input call, and then, when I need to, look at its attributes via the 'print VARIABLE NAME' command in conjunction with the str() method.
So, to give an example. Let's say I want to create a zoo of 10 animals...
class Zoo(object):
def __init__(self, species, legs, stomachs):
self.species = species
self.legs = legs
self.stomachs = stomachs
for i in range(9):
species = raw_input("Enter species name: ")
legs = input("How many legs does this species have? ")
stomachs = input("...and how many stomachs? ")
species = Zoo(species, legs, stomachs)
The idea is that the 'species' variable (first line of the for loop) e.g species = Bear becomes the object 'Bear' (last line of loop), which in conjunction with a str() method and the 'print Bear' command would give me the bears attributes.
Like I say, I've struggled for a while with this but despite looking at other posts on similar themes still can't figure out a way. Some say use dictionaries, others say use setattr() but I can't see how this would work in my example.

From Our Editors
At Majorca Bistro and Tapas, Moroccan chefs Hicham Nafaa and Ali Bendella put a spin on the Spanish tradition of tapas—small plates of seafood and cured meats—with a menu inspired by Majorca, a small island off the coast of Spain. The chefs fry and plate crisp calamari with a spicy majorcan tomato sauce and update meatballs with a sunny-side-up egg. Specializing in the bounty of the sea, Hicham and Ali bake whole fish in sea salt and set pans of paella sizzling with fresh mussels, moroccan sausage, and saffron rice.
Hand-painted murals of bullfighters by local artists match the imported tiles in the dining area, and handcrafted mahogany covers the bar. An outdoor patio hosts candlelit tables shaded by red umbrellas as well as live Latin-jazz performances accompanied by the staccato steps of authentic flamenco dancing.

BREMOND, Texas -- The Bremond Tigers return a good number of players and should be poised to make a run at a district championship and go deep in the playoffs. Seven starters are coming back on offense and nine will be back on defense.
Harrison Hull, a TSWA all-state line-backer, and Draven Denison, a TSWA all-state defensive lineman, are back to lead what could be a very good defense.
The Tigers hope to improve on the 20 points per game they gave up a year ago, and only having to replace one starter on the line and one in the secondary will certainly help.
Cade Grych returns at quarter-back after an all-district junior season. He will have three starters back on the line to block for him and the Tiger offense, including TSWA third-team all-state selection Colby Wilganowski.
James Jones had an all-district season at receiver a year ago as a sophomore, but will move to running back this season. The Tigers get two of their three district games at home this year, and the season finale against Chilton will likely decide the district championship.

This letter is in response to this article, "Weapons stolen from Galliano home."
These were my weapons that were stolen from my home in Galliano.
My name is Cpl. Ryan Roberts, and I am currently stationed in California at Camp Pendleton with the U.S. Marine Corps.
I am not deployed as your article states; however, I am on active duty.
My weapons were properly secured in a dead-bolted room with three safes. All of my weapons were legal for any civilian to possess, and I want the public to know that these weapons are dangerous if they fall into the wrong hands. I am a collector and not some crazy psychopath.
Also, whoever stole them must have had some knowledge of what I had because the logbook with my serial numbers and other pertinent information was taken as well.
I am outraged as a member of the community that people would do this to someone who fights for their safety.
My only wish is for these people to be brought to justice before some innocent person gets hurt.
Ryan Roberts
Corporal, USMC
Camp Pendleton, Calif.

Five-Minute Film Festival: 9 Ways to Raise Money for Your Class Online
Move over, bake sales. It's a brand new year, and time to start thinking big about how to use the Web to fund new projects or get gear for your classroom. Edutopia has just released an amazingly useful downloadable guide to crowdfunding, and to dovetail with that, I've collected nine ideas for how to raise money online and follow those classroom dreams. If, like many teachers, you have great ideas but no resources to carry them out, then this list will be a jackpot for you -- the season of giving and generosity might not be over yet!
Video Playlist: Online Fundraising for Educators
Watch the player below to see the whole playlist, or view it on YouTube.
- DonorsChoose.org: Our Mission to Transform Education (00:59)
Donors Choose has been helping educators raise money for more than a decade. Check out their "3 Tips for Teachers" video, or this Edutopia article, for tips on successful campaigns.
- Introducing IncitED: The Crowdfunding Community for Education (02:31)
IncitED is a brand-new crowdfunding community built just for educators -- and you receive all funds raised for your project at completion of your campaign, whether you meet your goal or not. Check out their Elements of Successful Crowdfunding guide for tips.
- Bloomberg Rewind -- Using Innovation to Help Public Schools (02:58)
Here's the bake sale of the new century -- this news story interviews the founder of Schoola, which allows parents or teachers to connect local merchants to the community with a daily deal-style platform -- and the proceeds benefit their neighborhood schools.
- Digital Wish - Over 24,000 Wishes Granted (01:02)
Digital Wish allows teachers to publish a wish list of their tech needs that anyone can donate to, either by giving money directly to a classroom, purchasing gift cards, or contributing to specific campaigns. This video is a few years old; they're up to 30,000 wishes granted now!
- Support Education! | Adopt-A-Classroom Overview Video (03:47)
Out-of-pocket spending is astronomical for teachers. Adopt a Classroom aims to help teachers stop spending their own money by connecting them with donors who want to help get them the resources they need.
- City Charity - Chaplin Mashup (01:45)
ClassWish produced this wonderful mashup of a Charlie Chaplin film to encourage people to support the teachers who post on their site. It functions like a wedding registry, so donors can see what's already been purchased.
- Why I Chose EdBacker (01:35)
Teacher Don Wettrick explains why he chose EdBacker, a teacher-founded company, for his crowdfunding campaign. Watch Don's campaign video here, and you can find tutorial videos on the EdBacker YouTube channel.
- WeAreTeachers Grant Winner Michelle P. (03:43)
WeAreTeachers is an online teacher community where you can find PD resources, but did you know they also give grants and offer listings for contests? Teachers often submit videos on what they did with their winnings.
- Getting Started on Teachers Pay Teachers (10:19)
Do you have excellent lessons plans and resources that you've developed over the years? Some educators make big bucks over on Teachers Pay Teachers, an open marketplace for learning materials. Despite audio glitches, this video is helpful for understanding the basics.
More Resources for Digital Fundraising for the Classroom
I hope this list got you excited about the myriad ways you can use your network creatively and make the best of Web-based platforms to raise some funds for your projects. I wish every teacher had all the funding they needed, but the truth is that most could use some extra support, even in relatively affluent districts. I've added a few more articles and resources below for more ideas on raising money for your classroom. Good luck with your campaigns!

Administration Denies CIT Group Further Aid
Bankruptcy for New York's small-business lender looks imminent.
New York–based small-business lender CIT Group's talks with the Treasury and Federal Reserve about a possible infusion of government support have come to a bitter end. There is "no appreciable likelihood" of any more help from the administration, the company says, and it's looking like the company, which halted trading this afternoon with shares at $1.65, will likely have to file for bankruptcy. Brutal. While we're relieved that the administration seems to be closing the purse strings for financial institutions, this is pretty terrible news for New York: CIT has around 4,830 employees, many of whom are in New York City, where the company is headquartered.

A customer who became unruly after finding out his lottery ticket was not a winner prompted a call from a Speedway employee to the Oak Creek Police Department last week.
According to the police report:
The employee called police after the 51-year-old man became loud and boisterous, kicked a shelf over and chased the employee around the store with his wheelchair after finding out his ticket was not a winner at 6:45 p.m. Thursday at Speedway, 8667 S. Howell Ave.
The man eventually left the store and no charges were filed.

Woman, Thou Art Loosed was an amazing experience. If you haven't had the opportunity to go, I strongly encourage you to get your coins together NOW and make your way to Dallas in August. I'm going to do my best to make sure I get there. And I have no doubts that God will lead me to it. I REALLY enjoyed myself during this three day event. I feel renewed and closer to Him. I went with a good friend and sister in Christ, and cried to her at one point. I looked around the room and saw women shouting, fainting, speaking in tongues. And I just stood there looking around, amazed at how God was touching everyone in that place but me.
the things we do without realizing…
For the last month or so, I have been sleeping on my couch.
Yes, I have a bed. I actually have a really nice and comfortable bed. I initially thought that I was finding myself on the couch every night because I was just too 'lazy' or comfortable to make my way to the bed once sleep finally hit me.
However, as I look back on a few of my old tweets, personal blog entries, and conversations related to depression, I've noticed that I always mention my bed being the one place that I run to (and fail to remove myself from) when I'm going through a bout of depression.
During those moments of sadness, I find it hard to tear myself away from my bed. I literally stay there all day, every day and only get up to use the bathroom. Sometimes, it even pains me to remove myself long enough to do anything more than brush my teeth and use a rag to go over my face. But getting up to start any work, watch television from another room, shower, eat…none of that happens when I'm going through it.
Your bedroom is supposed to be a place of serenity, and while I have found comfort laying in my bed, I've also found it to be somewhat of a crutch…a place that's hard to break away from or even see in a positive light because of what it's typically associated with for me. Suffering from insomnia means that it's a rarity that I get any sleep worth noting. So how else should I view my own bed? It's a cradle that keeps me 'comforted' until that evil spirit decides to give me a break before coming back in to rob me of my happiness again.
I can't live the rest of my life sleeping on my couch, but didn't realize any of this until recently. Oddly, I haven't had a bout of depression since my last one in July.
Related? I dunno….
Hopefully I can break this soon because again, I can't live out the remainder of my life on a couch (and that darn bed was way too expensive to ignore lol).
God & fraudulent messengers.
I wanted to share this video and encourage all of you to watch.
Minister Marcel Adams passed away the other day. The details of his passing have been sketchy, but there has been a LOT of (unnecessary) speculation.
This video brought tears to my eyes, as I grew to love his spirit, his push to serve the Lord, and his desire to make everyone just LAUGH…even if it was at his expense.
Defeatism is Contagious
de·feat·ism noun \di-ˈfē-ˌti-zəm, dē-\: a way of thinking in which a person expects to lose or fail
If you're constantly around folks who are talking about what they CAN'T do, that feeling of defeat can overcome you too. Think of it as a flesh eating bacteria; if someone else has it and you touch it or come within inches of it, you too can be impacted. The same goes for people with this "I can't do" attitude.
mean girls vs mean girl
So, I was checking the analytics for my Youtube "testimony" video and saw that my video was embedded on a message board. Although I kept telling myself not to go read anything on there, I did anyway. While there were at least 3 comments talking negatively about me (doubting my walk, bringing up my past…"why do hos always wanna get saved after they get all used up"….etc), surprisingly, everybody else defended me.
Even though I probably shouldn't have said a word, I decided to anyway. Nothing nasty at all but just a small reminder to onlookers that no one has the right to doubt God's ability just b/c of the "sinner" He's saving. If you can believe in God for any other reason, you absolutely can believe that He's more than capable of saving a girl that you hate a whole bunch (but don't even know at all).
hi, I'm high + false pride.
I decided to log into an old email account that I used to use for several years. As a matter of fact, even though I don't use that particular email addy for communication with anyone, it's still connected to various shopping websites that I frequently visit. I logged in because I wanted to see if I could remember my old vocal coaches name. She was probably the 3rd coach I had used once I moved to Atlanta, and I really liked her. As I'm scrolling through countless emails, tossing out keyword after keyword, I chance upon a few pics from back in 'those' days. I was in the middle of listening to Smokie Norful's I Understand for the 100th time. And although I (obviously) knew that these pics existed, it's been years since I actually saw one for myself. I turned the music off for a second and just stared. My eyes……

[just added this as my 365 photo -- a good one for it, but I had others, but my computer problems have been so overwhelming I'm just going to use this!]
Does this count as Bench Monday? It's not me, it's not my children, but it is my village. And it's not a bench, but I think it's just as much of a bench as I've seen others use.
I grew up feeling pretty negative about the military. I was a liberal in a liberal city, where people around me were still very sour about Vietnam, and my family leaned toward pacificism.
As an adult, however, I watched as my city was attacked on 9/11, and then my own little brother, brought up in the exact same family as me, joined the Marines.
I am not a pacifist anymore, but I believe fighting should always be the last ditch effort. I don't always agree with my country on whether that "last ditch effort" has arrived, but I have learned to respect the men and women who volunteer their lives to protect their home and their families and the rest of us. I am in awe of them, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
[I have to "dump and run" -- I'll check photos later!]
pixelmama, krow10, KristenHawley, and 2 other people added this photo to their favorites.
powerful. I really think it is neat to see how our views and values change over time, if you keep open to seeing things differently...I have many family members in the military, past and present. I think it is a great sacrifice and I am so grateful for the men and women who serve and for our freedom. I think I have moved more towards pacifism now...funny how we change! anyway, love this today!
Lovely tribute. Happy Bench Monday
beautiful tribute
hbm :)
That's a great Bench Monday. I, too, am a lib and was coming of age during the Viet Nam era. My dad was in the Army Air Corps during WW2 so was always pro-military. I do very much appreciate what service people do for us but I find it hard to stand behind every conflict we're in. I know, however, that supporting our troops is different than supporting war (at least to me it is). My flag is flying proudly today.
Definitely. Clever. I love it.
love it! i grew up quite similar, too.
Seen in my contacts' photos. (?)
love it
Great processing, the colors are comp are perfect
This is wonderful, love the red white and blue. Hope you had a great Memorial Day.
I like your bench foto and your comments on it!!!
Happy Late BM!
Sorry to hear 'bout ur computer troubles - daggon machines! And don't worry about being MIA - that's my middle name! Take a hammer to your cpu - I find that tends to do the trick... XoD
did we lose you? this is such a wonderfully composed and interesting shot. not like so many other memorial day shots (mine)! miss ya!
sue c.
Lovely and amazing :)
this s a wonderful, moving image and tribute
Thank you so much!
Sue -- I'll get my photos up on Shuttercal as soon as I have my computer issues sorted out (which will be next week as I'm not even home now). Miss you too! Thanks for stopping by here!
Down here, we older Australians realize the debt of gratitude we owe to the American servicemen who battled the Japanese in the Pacific. Younger Australians don't! I wonder whether future generations of Afghans when they are living in a democracy, will realize the debt of gratitude they owe to coalition forces who helped bring that democracy to their country - I doubt it! Memories for some, are short, unfortunately.
Congrats on being chosen in the Pioneer womans contest- just saw your photo there! Beautiful...touching...well done!
Congrats on being chosen for PW's Group Two!!
This is wonderful. Pacifist that I am, Memorial Day always brings a tear to my eye. You have captured the essence.
Thank you! :-)

How gorgeous is this? It could serve 8-10 people as a side dish and each person could choose the vegetable they want! Meat could also be added and this served as an entree. Regardless...the colors and flavors are beautiful and fresh. Made for the Greek stop on the 2008 Zaar World Tour.

* I define Tearjerker as a film actually calculated to make you cry
I need help placing the following movies into a genre:
The African Queen
The Big Sleep
- Login to post comments
Welcome to the FbG Club. I like many of the movies on your list, but, to be honest, I consider the classic/modern distinction to be merely a fancy way of taking two bites of the cherry - if you're going to take two bites, just take 'em. (And don't you see how odd it seems to call BRAVHEART a 'Modern War Movie'?)
On the positive side: thanks for reminding me of NOISES OFF! - I'm going to put it on my own list in the genre of Comedy, Farce.
I put THE AFRICAN QUEEN in Adventure, Romantic. And I would put THE BIG SLEEP in Detective, Film-Noir.
Looking forward to the rest of your choices.
- Login to post comments
I fully confess that it is a fancy way of not having to choose between two movies. I though of some of my favorite movies, and then found genres for them. I just can't choose. I have been thinking, however, of doing a list and limiting it to broad, recognized genres, such as you see in the vidoe store
I think that that would be a real challenge.
PS. If the critera for modern in being made after 1970, then Braveheart has to be a "Modern War Film" although I though about that for a while. It is pretty silly.
- Login to post comments
Absolutely. The less genre-splitting you do, the greater the challenge. I personally don't think I have the nerve to stick to only seven or eight genres.
- Login to post comments
I was thinking of the film noir genre for Big Sleep as well. Also, I like the genre of teen angst, and both choices are solid. I know Bertie mentioned this about my list as well, but I strongly believe that even though the people on this site respect some of the earlier movies, there is enough prejudice about not seeing movies solely dependent on what year a movie was made. There have been countless times where I have overheard people decline viewing a movie because it is "too old." In video stores, once a movie is removed from the new release wall, it hardly rents. Therefore, as long as the public differentiates, why can't we as well? On a different note, film technology and the studio systems have changed so maybe the cutoff should be the mid 50's with the advancement of technicolor and theater houses.
- Login to post comments
bertie took me to task for the whole "classic" thing as well. I caved.
- Login to post comments
I LOVE Far and Away, I have to remember to put that on my underrated list. My brother and I even go so far as to run lines from the movie on occasion, as we are both fans. He's 16, and since we're growing a garden this summer he is wont to say "The Land, Shannon!" And of course I'm pleased to see Henry and June and Romancing the Stone as well!

What's the Matter Poem
Matter, Matter, is everywhere.
Except Outerspace cause it is not there.
Matter can be a solid, a liquid, or a gas.
Matter cannot be destroyed cause it is meant to last.
You can take a piece of wood and light it on fire.
If they said you destroyed the matter, they would be a liar.
At the end of the fire, you would have something new.
The wood may be gone, but the ash is matter too.

While I am handy with a computer, I am not computer tech savvy so if someone could explain the process to me in Layman's terms I would greatly appreciate it!!

This paper aims at spelling out the area of protection (AoP), namely the general concept of human well-being and the impact categories in social life cycle assessment (SLCA). The applicability of the so-called capabilities approach—a concept frequently used for evaluating human lives—is explored. It is shown how the principles of the capabilities approach can be transferred to the impact assessment within SLCA.
The literature concerning the AoP and the impact assessment has been critically reviewed from an applied philosophy perspective. The capabilities approach has been adopted for defining both the AoP and the impact categories.
The main results are the following: (1) The AoP is defined as autonomy, well-being freedom and fairness; (2) using the dimensions which constitute well-being together with the concept of fairness eight impact categories are proposed: life, knowledge and aesthetic experience, work and play, friendship, self-integration, self-expression, transcendence and fairness itself and (3) by examining the 'Guide to Social LCA: Methodological Sheets', it is demonstrated that our proposed framework can be used for structuring the previous work on impact assessment.
The capability approach is one possibility for addressing the question 'what is of importance in a human life?' When applied in a practical field, like SLCA, this framework is not only useful for structuring data but also for disclosing our own normative assumptions about what counts as valuable in a human life. Thus, the normative evaluation is more coherent.

Fed Dealer Survey Sees Rate Increase in Second Quarter 2014
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's survey of primary dealers conducted before policy makers' Dec. 13 meeting showed the firms expected the Fed to raise its benchmark interest rate during the second quarter of 2014.
Respondents saw a 45 percent chance the first rate increase would occur in the second quarter of 2014 or later, according to the results posted today on the New York Fed's website. The median among the predictions for the timing of the first increase was the second quarter of 2014, the bank said in a statement. The Fed has kept its benchmark interest rate near zero since December 2008.
The December survey asked primary dealers the probability that central bankers would make changes to their public communications within the next year. Fed officials decided at the last meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee to start publishing their own forecasts for the central bank's key interest rate, according to minutes of the gathering released yesterday.
"While most dealers did not expect any policy changes at the December meeting, some suggested the FOMC could change its communication strategy, and a few saw a change in the guidance on the future path of the federal funds rate as likely," the New York Fed said in a statement.
The questions for the December survey and its predecessors for the seven other Fed policy meetings in 2011 were published last month as part of "ongoing efforts to increase transparency," the regional Fed bank said in a statement at the time.
Tightening Tools
The 21 dealers were asked about the probability the Fed would use each of 11 easing or tightening tools at the FOMC meeting in December, and within one year or two years.
The median respondent saw a 60 percent chance that the Fed would expand its balance sheet through securities purchases within one year, and 40 percent odds the central bank would "provide guidance" within a year on the timeframe for the central bank's portfolio to remain at its current size, the results showed.
Primary dealers also saw a 25 percent likelihood that the U.S. economy would be in a recession within six months, according to the median response. They saw a 10 percent chance that the U.S. economy was currently in a recession.
The question on the communications changes was one of two major differences in the December survey from the prior survey ahead of the Fed's Nov. 1-2 policy meeting.
