The MRI machine at Martha Jefferson Hospital is no longer only used to screen knees, backs and arms. Radiologist Dr. John Ciambotti says it's now one of the newest and most effective ways to detect breast cancer.
Unlike mammography, a breast MRI does not use radiation. It also allows a radiologist to see much more than they would in a routine mammogram.
"Statistics have shown that when looking for breast cancer, mammography will find about 6 or 8 out of 10 breast cancers. Breast MRI, however, will see about 10 out of 10 breast cancers. So, breast MRI is a much more sensitive test for finding breast cancer than mammography," said Dr. Ciambotti.
Although, Dr. Ciambotti says women shouldn't rush off and cancel their mammography appointment, because these high-tech MRI screenings are not for everyone. He only recommends certain patients schedule a breast MRI.
"Some of the most common indications that we do breast MRI are for patients who have a high risk of getting a breast cancer, or if you have a family history of breast cancer. Also, if you have a genetic deformity such as the "brca" gene which increases your risk of breast cancer," said Dr. Ciambotti.
There are also other factors to think about when it comes to getting a breast MRI. The image is more expensive than a mammogram, and because the patient is enclosed during an MRI, it may be difficult for women who are claustrophobic.
While this new technology may help detect breast cancer and save lives in high risk women, Dr. Ciambotti says the MRI is not an alternative to getting a mammogram. For the best results, he encourages high risk patients to continue getting an annual mammogram.
Martha Jefferson started performing breast MRI exams a few years ago, and radiologists say they see anywhere from 800 to 1,000 patients during an average year.

The online design software was easy to use, very user-friendly and produced great work. I made several corrections and the turnaround time was very quick and exact to the direction. We asked for some graphics to be removed on a particular card we had picked out and they accommodated perfectly. We highly recommend using Magnet Street for any stationary needs!
Love it
Bicycle Built for Two Foldover Pockets Such fun invites and so easy to customize! The staff was easy to work with and made accommodating my special request a breeze.
Great product, even better customer service
Bicycle Built for Two Rectangle Programs Great high quality product for an extremely reasonable price. These programs, as well as everything else I've ordered from Magnetstreet, comes out even better in person than on the computer. But the best part was that I forgot to include one line of info on my programs and didn't realize it until they arrived in the mail- I called Magnetstreet and the extremely helpful woman on the phone told me they would re-print them at 75% off, which was so kind of them and they didn't have to do, seeing as it was MY mistake! She then helped me decide what that line should say and where in the program it should go. Huge load of stress off my back, and this bride 3 weeks before her wedding was thankful for such wonderful customer service.
Great Product

Honey is like a fine wine that is created from flowers instead of grapes. The term "varietal honey" refers to the honey gathered from a single type of blossom. Each type of nectar has its own flavor and sugar composition depending on the flower that produces it, therefore the honey reflects the unique taste of the bloom. Savannah Bee Company is the leader in honey purity standards. Any honey poured by Savannah Bee Company as a specialty varietal honey must have a minimum of 80% pollen count. This ensures that the honey exhibits the best flavor and texture possible from the blossom crop. We take pride in our honeys' flavor and purity, so we don't process, over-filter, or add anything at all. We pour the best of the best of artisan Tupelo Honey, Sourwood Honey, Orange Blossom Honey, and Black Sage Honey harvests. These specialty honeys are beautiful gifts for any sweet occasion, as well as an delicious treat for any pantry.

What's the point of the buffer if you have high mass concrete slab radiation?
I'm planning new Buffer-centric system. Modcon, slab, & 120 gal. Buffer tank.
Should buffer tank temperature be controlled by ODR, with Modcon set to continuous call for heat
Aqustat on buffer tank 90 -> 110* controlling boiler, with thermostatic 3-way valve limiting water to floor 90*
What's the point of the buffer if you have high mass concrete slab radiation?
Buffer-centric system? That's a new one.
The design water temperature for any hydronic heating system, but more especially for a radiant floor heating system is determined by the heat load and the type of radiant panel you are using. I design radiant floor heating systems driven by condensing boilers every day and have only used on a handful of a buffer installations - usually to correct another's mistakes. Reading Siegenthaler's books again are we?
I can't imagine any slab-radiant system no matter how micro-zoned that would require any kind of buffer, let alone 1000lbs of water. It's useful to have a calculator handy (and actually use it) when reading "Hydronics for Dogs" or whatever, eh? ;-)
Well, if you boiler is twice too big for the application and is bumping off the bottom, but then you're in a whole other world of hurt. Perhaps our mountain man has solar heating in mind?
I still need some input related to my question.
Dump the buffer tank, it's a waste of money and labor to install. Notice how the pendulum has swung back the other direction? Twenty years ago everyone was on the low mass mod con train and now we are moving back to high mass boilers as the engineers in Europe have now decided that a cast iron, high mass boiler has greater thermal efficiency. I find great humor in reading articles from 15 years ago written by guys that are now doing a complete 180 in their thinking. I have to admit that due to pressure I have installed a crap load of mod con's in the past few years but always with reservations because in the end it has become pretty obvious that the added cost of the unit and the installation will almost never be covered over the life time of the boiler. Still, we sell them because that's what folks have been told they need. We are always so willing and even eager to throw out the knowledge of the past but when you start reading literature from the early days of hydronic heat you will soon see that those old guys had a pretty good handle on the physics of heat and heat transfer and even though the equipment back then was crude by todays standards; particularly oil and gas burners, the concepts and physics have changed very little. Somebody is always trying to re-invent the wheel but as my old college professor says "physics is physics and only God can change that"
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
Just adding to the confusion.
I agree with dumping the buffer tank, but the rest is delusion. " high mass boiler has greater thermal efficiency" really? Condensing boilers represent
the bulk of our business both design and installation and ROI is nearly always guaranteed. Proper application is the key of course.
All successful hydronic designs start for with a proper heat load which, determines emitters and design water temperatures. All else
might as well be hot air. There is a formula and procedure for sizing buffer tanks most often -and properly-used for solar applications. But
I have very rarely used a buffer tank in conjunction with a condensing boiler since they started coming with modulating burners over
10 years ago. And I have never met anyone who knows how to size a buffer tank that is willing to volunteer the service.
Still I am amazed at how often DIY people insist including an obvious design flaw into their DIY condensing boiler systems. If you doubt the
wisdom or intent of these words, please forward a condensing boiler factory drawing of such a system.

Buffalobillpatrick: Where a buffer is already installed there no advantage to keeping the temp of the buffer any higher than the radiation needs for delivering the load. Higher temperature storage and mixing down to a lower temp only leads to lower combustion efficiency on the mod-con and higher distribution losses. But getting sufficient flow through the boiler loop may be problematic for simply setting the boiler output to the radiation temp requirements. In the absence of real design, and assuming the buffer tank is the point of hydraulic separation between the boiler loop and the raditaion loop(s), you can empirically get there by ignoring the aquastat on the buffer tank and bumping the ODR curves to whatever it takes for the radiation to keep up. The delta-T on the boiler may be on the high end if the flow on the boiler loop is a small fraction of the radiation loop flows, but most can take 50F deltas without stressing it too much. The temp of the buffer tank will fluctuate a bit, but the burner will still modulate and you won't be giving up much (if anything) on raw combustion efficiency, since return water temp & firing rate are the primary determinants of combustion efficiency, not output temp.
Having the buffer tank there will have little effect on system efficiency unless you raised the storage temp well above the radiation needs, in which case it'll be a net-negative, since it would inevitably raise the return water temp entering the boiler, lowering combustion efficiency.
Buffering can make sense for micro-zoned systems with low-mass radiation (but 120 gallons? Ever? Probably not). With radiant slabs no matter how cut up into zones it would take a GIANORMOUSLY oversized boiler for it to short cycle on zone calls. If at some point you use the buffer for storing solar input to the system there could be real benefit, if designed well as a system.
Condensing high mass boilers can have steady-state thermal efficiencies higher than mod-cons if they're very well insulated, and in systems if they have sufficient mass (and controlled such) that they're effectively short-cycle proof they can have higher as-used AFUE on some designs. High-mass condensing boiler designs are essentially "buffer tank & boiler in one" for low design-load applications that makes them somewhat idiot-proof from a system designers point of view. But with high mass radiation, or a low-mass but reasonable low-temp system design a mod-con would be at least as efficient. (The only non-condensing high-mass boilers I know of coming out of Europe are well-insulated oil-boilers, but they're no match for a decent gas/propane mod-con in a good system design.)
There are limitations to modulation- below an optimal flow on the fire side there are laminar flows on the HX and the stack temp goes up, yet at higher fire higher flows there's also higher losses. With most current mod-cons the optimal operating point is between 1/4 and 1/3 of full-fire. A bang-bang condensing burner set up to always run in it's optimal range, and with sufficient buffered mass to keep it from short cycling at part load can out-perform a mod-con in some applications, but would it beat it by enough to really matter? We're talking sub-3% differences in annual fuel use, and the real limitations will be in the system design & implementation, not the mass of the boiler.
Of course, with high-temp radiation that always operates above the condensing point there's no real return on a condensing boiler, and a well insulated cast-iron piggy with 86-88% thermal efficiency can equal the performance with cheaper equipment, but that's not what we're talking about here (is it?)
Hey, don't shoot the messenger. My company was the first company in the north east to install System 2000 boilers when they came out along with the early Thermo-Dynamics mod cons and many many others over the years. We still sell and install Viessmann as well as Buderus and Baxi units also. It all seemed so logical then to dump the old high mass, cast iron pigs that we had been using for a generation or more but you have to remember here that when we are talking high mass, cast iron now we are talking about highly efficient 2 and 3 pass boilers like the Buderus Logano series or biase' and others that are not of the same vertical flue designs like the old Weil Mclain 66 and gold series as well as Peerless JO's and HB Smith 8 series which are essentially single pass vertical flue design. Personally, I have a Buderus BE series CI, high mass boiler with the Logamatic control hooked to very large cast iron radiators that are piped individually back to a manifold.
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
Adding a bunch of low mass zones. About 5,000 ft2 of "medium temperature" cheapo heat transfer plates under subfloor on upper levels of house.
Time Delay T-T control idea
ODR will control the boilers upper output limit on fire & thus the buffers upper temperature.
The "medium temperature" zone switching relays end switch will pass through a 24vac Delay-On-Make Time Delay Relay in series to boiler T-T (say set to 10-17 minute delay, testing required) This should prevent any short cycling.
This will allow small "medium temperature" zones to draw heat out of the buffer, possibly without firing boiler, if thermostat is satisfied before time delay expires.
This will also allow larger "medium temperature" zones to draw heat out of the buffer before firing boiler.
A basement slab "low temperature" zone will draw heat out of buffer without setting a call for heat. Buffer is large enough where it should never drop to 75* before a medium temperature zone calls for heat.
Hi Dana, I have read many of your excellent informative knowledgeable posts. Thank You
On another site PeterNH did some math:
"3x50, 150 gallons of water to heat up.
I can't imagine, even with a boiler that big, especially throttled down by ODR, that you would have any need for a time delay.
Besides as far as i understand it, short cycling, refers more to short on cycles, not necessarily a short time between reasonably long on cycles.
At full 130k output, 150 h to 130 low:
Without any load at all, it would take about 12 minutes to heat up the 150g's of water.
With a 20k btu load it will take about an hour and 13 minutes to drop 20*
A 40K load, will take, 37 minutes to cool off 20*.
But then with a 40k load it will take 37 minutes to heat the tanks up again.
Not exactly short cycling, imo.
Presumably, the ODR wouod also widen the differental as needed, in warmer weather, thus extending the cycle times."
My response:
"Thanks Peter for doing that math.
I'm unsure of the AM10 ODR controllers algorithms.
Time delay relay cost only $22
When it comes to boiler cycles "longer IS better"
My goals:
1. Heat this LARGE house, with its pex & manifolds already installed, with this boiler as efficiently as reasonably possible, while minimizing expense, using parts on hand.
2. Determine how to manage a large buffer tank, using ODR as high temperature limit and how to call for heat from boiler using its T-T input.
3. Prevent boiler short cycles, when small low mass zones call for heat, which is exaserbated in shoulder weather conditions. Draw buffer temperature down without firing boiler when possible."

I've been wearing the Shannon for over a year now and I love it. I have very thin hair and it makes me feel complete. It looks natural, and people ask me weekly who does my hair! I've purchased other styles, but they did not look good on me, the Shannon is perfect for me. It is long , but my hair dresser, who is excellent with wigs, cuts them to fit my face. If you want to wear wigs, you have to take care of them. Treat them with care, keep them clean, get the frayed ends clipped. I just washed the four that I have right now.they dry overnight! I am extremely pleased!Just want to add that I will be 65 this year! This Shannon takes years off my age in looks!

Looks natural
Does look like real hair. The fit is good. I am waiting to see how it holds up on a real windy day. The winds can get up to 40 mph. Read complete review
Does look like real hair. The fit is good. I am waiting to see how it holds up on a real windy day. The winds can get up to 40 mph. The color I wanted was not available so I ordered a shade lighter and am pleased with it. The bangs could be a little longer.It does not resemble the picture on the web. I have not been able to duplicate that style which was one of the reasons that I purchased it. The style it had when it came out of the box is OK. I have used heating tool, but am not able to get a curl. Maybe I am apprehensive about getting the heat too hot.I will keep it because it does look natural.

Found my Miracle in this wig.
By Deb from Bama
from Huntsville,Al.
About Me Beauty Conscious
I have found a wonderful wig in the Shannon. My hair is falling out due to an illness, and this is the closest thing to my real hair.The feel,style and color (8/12A#6),the movement,and being able to use a little heat when wanted is truely amazing to me.I love the way it falls so real around my face. The length and cut is perfect for me. I ordered another wig 5 months ago from another company. It is now put away out of sight. I paid alot more for it than the Shannon.I ordered a large thinking I needed it but with the Shannon I'm so glad I got it in average. Fit's perfect and so comfortable.It stay's put and no worry in it shifting on me. Only wish I had known about Paula Young back then.As a matter of fact when I ordered the Shannon I also ordered the Chantel and the Annabella. I love them all and WILL order all 3 again. I never want to be without either of them.The color is so true to life in the way it looks. Thank you Paula for such great products and in making me feel good and beautiful once again.

This is one of the most natural looking wigs that I have ever seen and used and I am picky. Very few people know it is a wig. My hairdresser was floored and my dermatologist wanted to know where I got it to refer to her patients. That is the highest complement. Thank you for this great quality product.

I have bought this product twice!
By Sparkle
from Arkansas
I wear every day (cancer patient) and it requires little styling, but you can adjust to your taste, trim bangs, trim ends, wash in small tub in sink and hang to dry (I dry upside down and spray with PY shampoo & conditioner clipping the elastic around the wig base on a hanger with clothes pins hung on shower curtain rod)

Love it! Need more colors!!!
By Grammie Deb
from Portland, OR
The first one I got was too dark, but the second one isn't quite so dark. I get lots of compliments when I wear it! I lost some hair but not all my hair during chemo treatment and some days I just can't get my own hair too look good. It is quick and easy and the only complaint I have is I wish there were more blonde colors, even white, which is what my own color is! I also wish there was one with the lace front! But still I am very happy with it!

After my hairdresser trimmed it to fit my neck length neither of us could believe how natural it looked! She really couldn't believe that I'd bought it off the internet as the colors looked so natural and she was certain that it had been purchased at a local shop! I am breaking it in gradually, but I already am finding the shock of seeing myself without it after wearing it for even a few hours! I'm really going to enjoy this! Have already referred my girlfriend to your computer site!She's has been wanting to try one out and change her look occasionally! Thanks for a great experience!

Love the Shannon
By Better than being bald
from CT
I LOVE THIS WIG!!! I ordered it in the #8/12A. It is beautiful. I have very thin hair and was tired of being embarrassed by it so I decided to buy a wig. After looking and looking I bought this one. A week later I bought another, same wig, same color. I was the talk of the meeting with well over 100 people there. The compliments keep coming! Some people I know don't know that it's a wig! If you are on the fence, don't hesitate you will not be sorry! I'm only sorry I waited so long! What a difference it makes in how I feel when I go out! Thank you so much Paula Young!!

I love this wig. But I wish you had a similar style about 2 inches shorter. I have it professionally cut into a shorter version for myself.

Better than I ever hoped.
By Colorado Maiden

In the past I have order wigs or hair pieces and was disappointed by color or quality. This wig could be a little smaller but other than that I think ig is a great bargain and find. If I found another style in this material I will buy another. Love it!

NCAA Softball Championships Dahlonega Regional Game 6 Quotes
North Georgia Head Coach Mike Davenport
Opening Comments:
"First and foremost I would like to congratulate Augusta State for getting to the region championship game. Melissa has done such a great job with her program. They are only graduating one senior so they're going to be a serious force to be reckoned with in the Peach Belt and on the National level next year as well."
On North Georgia's performance:
"It comes down to fundamentals again. The first couple of innings we had some opportunities but we didn't get our bunts down and we didn't get anything going. The third inning we finally got the ball on the ground and forced some over to second base and got into scoring position and then it went from there."
On Hilary Cox:
"Hilary has stepped up, like we talked about in our previous meeting. The first month of her being in the catcher's position she focused so much on our defense, which was the right thing to do. Her bat struggled a little bit but from late February-early March she has taken off, she is such a good hitter and good situational hitter. She knows exactly what to do in key moments, where to hit the ball, and what side of the field to hit the ball on as well. Today we saw her again, she came up with some clutch hits."
On Sarah Phillips:
"Sarah just went right at them. To come into a region championship game against an opponent like Augusta State who we respect so much and for her to throw a no-hitter at this level is just unbelievable. She continues to impress and surprise us."
On preparing for Carson-Newman:
"We will probably take tomorrow off and give the kids some time to off a little bit and then it's just back to the basics. We will get our information on Carson-Newman the best we can and go from there."
Augusta State University Head Coach Melissa
On battling through the regional:
"Sarah had a great game, kudos to her. I can't be disappointed, obviously disappointed in the outcome because unless you win you always want the outcome to be different. I was very proud of the girls. Although there were no hits in the game I felt like we hit the ball really well it was just at people. We just fell short. Great job to Mike (Davenport) and North Georgia they are a great team and definitely deserve to be going on."
On a great season:
"Oh absolutely, that's what I told the girls. If you would have asked me at the beginning of the year what I had anticipated this coming season after having lost eight seniors last year. I would have thought that we will be good but it might take us a year. So I am very proud to find us in the championship game in one of the southeast regionals. I am really proud of the girls."
On Augusta State making the regional's two of the last three years:
"Two of the last three years. We are real excited, I think we are doing some good things in the program. I am real proud of the girls and tomorrow starts another recruiting summer."
On Angii Verbeelen:
"It's a tough spot to fill for a lot of reasons. Angii is a captain, great student, she is also president of our SAAC committee on campus. She has got big shoes to fill. It will be tough but we will try our best."

In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.

Debating Darwin—How the Church Responded to the Evolution Bombshell
"Where many scholars in previous generations simply assumed that Christianity and science have always been in conflict—and not just over evolution—recent scholarship has decisively debunked that view. The main message from today's historians is complexity, not conflict."
Origins News Round-up for November 15, 2013
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
The Challenge of Cosmology
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Belief in God in an Age of Science: John Polkinghorne, Part One
The world is not full of items stamped "made by God"—the Creator is more subtle than that—but there are two locations where general hints of the divine presence might be expected to be seen most clearly. One is the vast cosmos itself, with its fifteen-billion-year history of evolving development following the big bang. The other is the "thinking reed" of humanity, so insignificant in physical scale but, as Pascal said, superior to all the stars because it alone knows them and itself.
A Survey of Clergy and Their Views on Origins
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics (4 entries)
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Series: The Church Fathers and Two Books Theology (8 entries)
In this series, Mark Mann explores what many of the great Christian theologians and saints of the Church have said about how God speaks in and through God's other great book: Nature, or Creation. Listening to figures from the the 2nd to the 18th centuries,Mann proposes three main points: Christians should think of Scripture and Creation as two "books" that should be read together for understanding the fullness of God's self-revelation; Science is a God-given tool for discerning the handiwork of God in Creation, and is fully compatible with God's Word revealed in Scripture, and therefore, Christians have nothing to fear from science.

The U.S. economic environment is "very good" and the stock market's rally to multi-year highs has more room to go, said Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein in a CNBC interview on Friday from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
(Read More: Davos 2013 Special Report)
"The market has gone up with people being under-invested," Blankfein told "Squawk Box," adding that investors should want the market to go down "so they can get in."
(Read More: Bulls Gear Up for Another Run at 1,500 on S&P)
He said that people have reason to be optimistic. "In a lot of ways, the worst case scenario [in Europe] is taken off the table. … There is a lot of relief that the Euro isn't going to collapse."
"[But The place that is in a much better position right now is the United States."
(Read More: ECB's Draghi: Economic Activity Is Stabilizing)
As for how long interest rates will remain low in the U.S., Blankfein said, "The turn in interest rates … it won't necessarily happen when the Fed changes interest rate policy. It'll be when the market decides the Fed will have to change interest rate policy."
He added that could happen sooner than the official shift by the central bank.
Meanwhile, the political landscape in Washington has been a big factor for investors in recent months, as President Barack Obama and Republican leaders work to resolve the nation's spending and debt issues.
During the "fiscal cliff" debate at the end of last year, Blankfein had supported higher taxes as part of the deal to avoid it, but now he said, "My ear is attuned for hearing about more cuts in spending. I'm not hearing it. I would be disappointed if this is all there was."
Last week, Goldman Sachs reported quarterly earnings and revenues that far exceeded Wall Street's expectations.
(Read More: Goldman Profit Jumps on Banking, M&A)
And Blankfein told CNBC Friday that he expects that to continue, "We're an investment bank … All the things we do correlate with growth."
"We advise people on acquisitions" and help finance them, he added. "We manage risky assets, which people only put money in risky assets when they're confident."
Besides the profit picture, Blankfein's 2012 compensation package — said to be worth around $20 million — has been a hot topic, as it far surpassed JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon's pay, which was cut due to the "London Whale" losses at his firm.
(Read More: Goldman officials get over $100 million in stock-filings)
Blankfein acknowledged, "In the context of what Nobel laureates and physicists make, [my compensation] makes no sense at all. In the context of alternatives for people in finance I understand what one has to do draw talent in our part of the industry."
Responding to a direct question about whether he'd leave Goldman if paid less, he said, "Not today, no."

In addition to the fine food, I also always look forward to the creative boutique cocktails crafted by San Diego's Snake Oil Cocktail Co.
ChefDance is also the site of Sundance movie-premiere parties, which this year includesĀSound City (directed by Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl), Blue Caprice, Breathe In and C.O.G.Ā
Last year at ChefDance, I found myself seated at a table with Marc Maron (WTF podcast) and actress Carol Kane. This year, I'm hoping Dave Grohl brings his drums or guitar!Ā

Castle Review: I HATE the Dress!by Christine Orlando at . Updated at .
There were so many things to love about Castle Season 6 Episode 14 that I almost feel bad pointing out the things that bothered me.
I'm going to do it anyway... but let's start with the positive.
The murder of the week had plenty of twists, turns and interesting suspects, though none were better than Matilda King. What could have come across as a caricature actually turned out to be a fascinating woman with more depth than I expected.
First off, she immediately remembered Kate Beckett. She said she'd never forget those cheekbones (who could?) or the fact that Kate was the one person who turned Matilda down when she was offered her big break. I'm sure that doesn't happen often.
The fact that Matilda would bug her employees' homes so that she could listen to the recordings herself seemed a little far fetched. Not so much the illegal surveillance but that Matilda would do the listening. That would be incredibly boring and take up far too many hours. What a horrible way to waste your weekends.
When I first realized that this episode would revisit the topic of Kate's short stint as a model, I was excited. Unfortunately, I never got the payoff I was hoping for.
It almost felt as though Rick already knew about Kate's modeling past because he barely had any reaction at all to the news. There was no real discussion about how she got into modeling or why she decided to leave. As a matter of fact, he didn't ask one question about it, not even to see a picture!
As a long time viewer I really enjoyed "Inventing the Girl" where Kate was scrambling to hide the photo of her modeling a tennis outfit from Castle and swearing the boys to secrecy. Castle Season 2 Episode 3 stuck in my memory for the fun of those moments and I was hoping they'd revisit a little of that. Unfortunately, it never happened here and that's where this story line missed the mark for me.
In the middle of murder, wire taps, threats from mystery men, corporate espionage, and fashion, there was Rick and Kate trying to plan their wedding. I loved when Rick shared his feelings about getting married with his mother in this Castle quote…
I just feel like I've waited long enough, Mother. I don't want to waste any more time before we take the next step.Castle
He's been in love with Kate Beckett for a long time. Even with two failed marriages behind him, it was good to hear him express how anxious he was to make that commitment and move forward together.
Now we get to my biggest disappointment in the episode. The dress.
Matilda was correct when she said it was amazing. It was amazing that even with Kate Beckett wearing it I still hated that dress. Don't get me wrong, the silver beading was beautiful…for an evening dress. Not for a first time bride. And all of the fluffy ivory tulle on the skirt looked ridiculous.
My reaction to that dress was so strong that it almost took away from a very powerful scene. Almost.
Kudos to Stana Katic for delivering on that moment where Kate is reminded of her mother. She didn't need to utter one word. Her expressions clearly shared every heartbreaking moment and I had no doubt what she was thinking and feeling.
But when that dress showed up at her home, I found myself hoping that this apartment might blow up too just to get rid of it.
My favorite scene was when Kate went to the loft to explain to Rick what was wrong. He knew something was off and was obviously concerned. The way she shared what she felt and apologized for passing on the new wedding venue showed just how far this couple has come.
I also loved hearing how Kate believes her mother would have adored Rick. I only wish they could have spoken on that subject a bit more.
That Castle offered to postpone the wedding if she needed more time just showed once again how he'll do anything for Kate. The man has learned a lot about patience since we first met him in Castle season 1.
Now they're hoping for a spring wedding. Honestly, I feel like I'm getting whip lash. They just picked September! Will a spring wedding actually happen or will some sort of obstacle (Bracken, 3XK) get in the way? And perhaps it's a long shot but I'm still hoping on a beautiful wedding at their place in the Hamptons.
Now it's your turn, TV Fanatics. What did you think of Kate's wedding dress?

Castle does know that Kate modeled. In "Eye of the Beholder, (the one with Serena Kaye - S4, E5), after some comments about a gallery exhibit, Castle guessed that Kate must have taken an Art History course. Kate said: No, the closest I ever came to taking an art class was posing for one as a model. Castle replied: Wait, posing in…? She said: Not a stitch.
So she was an artist's model, which is nowhere close to a high fashion or runway model. The writers just re-wrote the history of the show so that Kate could get a free dress.
The dress: I hate it. I hope it spontaneously combusts; that way the whole loft won't be set on fire. The embroidery is beautiful, but that rotund over-skirt attachment thing is dreadful. The silver colour doesn't seem right for Kate, as a first time, albeit, mature bride. It looks more like the fairy tale costumes in Once Upon A Time. Since Kate took it home, it's not likely she'll decide she doesn't like it anymore...
I also don't understand why they are showing us the dress already instead of saving it as a surprise for the wedding episode. It just seems weird.
If you took the poofy train off, a silver embroidered sheath with sleeves would make an appropriate wedding gown for an older bride like Kate. But since it is Stana Katic, just for her colouring, it would look much better if the embroidery was gold on white.
The poofy train just made me want to get our my seam-pick and detatch it. Put me in the 'hate it' camp.
Count me in the can't stand the dress crowd. It looks like they took a perfectly nice evening gown and then realized it was supposed to be a wedding dress and quickly glued some white fabric on it. I am glad that they are letting these two show a little more physical affection. I'm not saying we need to see wall shaking lovemaking (though I wouldn't complain), but just a few more light hugs and kisses. It's getting better, but I'm still getting over the first few episodes where it looked like their relationship was simply platonic.
I'm not sure what to say about all the above comments. This is a fantastic show with terrific acting and writers. There's not much on TV these days. Castle is my only hope for entertainment on the networks, so give it a rest and enjoy it every week. I don't like the dress considering all the beautiful clothes that all the characters wear on this show. It's still early in the wedding planning, things could change. Knowing the way Castle writers work, I think we are all in for surprises...Be patient and enjoy!!!
Agree. Viewers first learned about Kate's modeling career back in 2x3 "Inventing the Girl". She tells Ryan and Esposito that she only modeled for "one summer, when I was 17". Around the time of January 1999, Kate was 19, not 17. That's an awfully long single summer, and an even longer 15 minutes. Most magazines aren't actually shot the same month that they are on the shelves. So the idea that Kate would have been in the January 1999 issue, but unable to participate because her mother was murdered on January 9, 1999 doesn't really hold. Aside from that, Kate would have been at Stanford in the months leading up to January of 1999, or the other side of the country from Modern Fashion's apparent offices in New York City. Basically, none of the timeline there for Kate's modeling career was consistent with prior continuity, or really made a lot of sense. It felt like it was only designed to make us think of the photo shoot in connection with her mother's murder in order to give us an emotional reaction. The discontinuity was another missed opportunity by the writers and was annoying, but it didn't take away from the rest of the episode for me.
Echoing the "hate the dress!" sentiment. Seriously, I did not find it flattering on her, and if you can make Stana not look fabulous, you're doing something VERY wrong as a designer!
I was hoping that Castle had gone ahead and booked the venue in case Beckett changed her mind. (Doesn't he have more money than sense?) Was disappointed when he didn't pull the venue out of his hat at the last moment.

When I build HTPCs, I always use Hauppauge tuners for my system. I've never had any problems with their cards and they've been rock solid. It's been a while since I updated by Hauppauge was nice enough to send me a sample of the HVR-2250. I've been meaning to pick this card up for a while now and now that it's in my hands, I think I found my favorite analog/clear QAM recording peripheral.
The Hauppauge HVR-2250 is their current top of the line tuner card for North America. It's a dual tuner setup supporting ATSC, clear QAM, and analog signals. ATSC is over the air broadcast of channels while clear QAM channels are broadcast by your local cable company consisting of unencrypted digital signals. With the HVR-2250, you can just attach one antenna to view or record two ATSC channels which is pretty convenient. For cable, you just need one connection to receive clear QAM and analog signals should your cable company still broadcast in analog. Again, it's nice to just need one connection to be able to receive all the signals possible from the cable company.
Physically, the HVR-2250 is a nicely sized PCI-E x1 card that is made for both normal and low profile cases. Compared to my old WinTV PVR-500, the HVR-2250 has been reduced in size and looks a lot smaller compared to the older dual tuner card. I was pleasantly surprised at how small it was and how compact it looked. The HVR-2250 needs a PCI-E connection whether it is the x1 variant or a full sized slot. For the HVR-2250, the setup includes another bracket that holds another S-video, composite, and stereo input allowing you to record two video sources using one of those types of connections. This bracket connects to the HVR-2250 internally so there aren't any wires hanging in the way.
Liker past Hauppauge cards, you can pick up an HVR-2250 that includes an IR blaster. For those that will connect the card to set top box, you can relay the signals through the card and out through the IR blaster to the box in order to control it. One of the HVR-2250 kits that you pickup also includes a nice little remote as well.
Installation was, for the most part, simple as I installed it in a brand new Windows 7 Home Premium install. Windows 7 didn't have the drivers so it was a matter of going to Hauppauge's website to download the latest ones. Afterward, I fired up Media Center and went into setting up the tuners. Media Center easily detected two digital and two analog tuners but here is where I had to break from the automatic installation. If I didn't, the guide would only download the digital channels and not the analog channels. By manually setting up the tuners after detection, I was able to setup the guide for analog initially and then for the digital stations that my cable company provides. Because it wasn't getting any guide information, I had to go in and change the listings option. Depending on your cable company and setup, you still might have to do some tinkering with adding or removing stations though.
Now even though Windows Media Center says there are two digital and two analog tuners, you'll only be able to record two sources at once. One you have the two tuners in use, going to Live TV or trying to record another channel will pop up a message saying there's a conflict or all tuners are busy. With the HVR-2250, you are able to record any combination of two sources that you have setup.
As with WinTV PVR-500, the HVR-2250 features hardware MPEG-2 encoders alleviating the CPU of doing the grunt work in encoding video. This not only frees up the CPU to do other things, it also allows for smooth video. I've tried various cards with software encoding that would skip every once in a while even when the machine's only set to do video recording. With the hardware encoding, you can be sure to get the best video performance possible even when your machine is busy with other operations. When I recorded two digital stations at 720p, the CPU usage was hovering in the single digits. It barely registers a blip and the CPU sits unneeded in recording video. Its performance like this that makes me love Hauppauge cards in my HTPC and the HVR-2250 continues the trend of great performance without pushing the CPU. Quality wise, the analog recordings will be dependent on how well your signal is, of course. Otherwise, the hardware encoders ensure you get smooth, high quality recordings of the signal without any worry about free CPU cycles.
I did put the card in a few setups just to see how stable and well it worked. The initial setup was an Intel Q6400 CPU with a BioStar motherboard using an AMD ATI Radeon HD 4870 GPU sporting 4GB of ram and running Windows 7 Home Premium edition. On a clean setup, everything ran perfectly well and I was able to record as well as watch another channel at the same time. Reviewing the recordings I noticed everything was smooth and didn't exhibit any skipping of any frames.
After a few days, I took the card to my current main Windows 7 Media Center setup. The HTPC consisted of an AMD 3200+ CPU with 2GB of ram and running Windows 7 Home Premium as well. This setup had an ATI HD Wonder as well as a Hauppauge WinTV-500 working out flawlessly. I just hated the way my HD signals for my local channels were so inconsistent using the ATI HD Wonder pulling in OTA HD stations. The signal would be strong and clean for half a day but come night time, it would degrade to an unwatchable mess. I took out the ATI HD Wonder and popped in the HVR-2250 into a spare PCIe 1X slot. After doing the entire driver install and channel setup, I was watching clear and smooth HD clear QAM channels from my local cable company. Windows 7 detected all the tuners showing 4 analog and 2 digital tuners without any issues. My previous recording schedule was saved and I can now watch my local stations in HD as well as add an additional 2 concurrent usable tuners to my current setup. Windows 7 is able to use more than the limit of 2 tuners in the previous OS thus allowing up to four digital or four analog tuners.
While you won't get many HD channels through clear QAM it seems, you will get smooth recording and Live TV viewing using the HVR-2250. If you don't have cable, you can always hook up an antenna to pick up OTA HD signals from your local TV provider. Finally, those with cable and analog signal access can watch those stations as well. The ability to run the card in a low profile machine, add additional SVGA or composite inputs, and relay signals to setup boxes makes the Hauppauge WinTV HVR-2250 a very versatile and quality TV card. The improved design and overall smaller footprint than my WinTV-500 combined with supported for clear QAM and ATSC makes it one of the best tuner cards out there for Windows 7 Media Center. I have no problem recommending this card for those looking for a good clear QAM and/or analog recording card. The only better option, in my opinion, is waiting on a cable card setup but for now the HVR-2250 is one of the TV cards at the top of my list for use in a HTPC.

After decades of setting up my and my friends' guitars by feel and sight, this makes (setting-up)life a lot easier and faster and better! I'll be back for more handy tools!
Very useful - but it should include the fret rocker
basic kit. always need more tool
Thats right, I said it. Anyone that plays, works on, or builds guitars NEEDS this kit. Hands down the best tools in my box. Even if your a beginner Luther, or a beginner player, make this your first purchase and you will thank yourself over and over again.
I have been "sight adjusting" my own guitars for over 40 yrs with mediocre success. Then I purchased the "Basic Set Up Kit" from Stew-Mac. Man, what a difference!! I have now re-adjusted every guitar I own and even more for friends, and the best compliment I could ever think of getting is the one I have gotten over and over....."I just can't quit playing this guitar now. It's like recieving a brand new instrument!" Great job Stew-Mac! These tools are indespensable!!
This was my first purchase from the fine folks at Stewart MacDonald! Thanks for getting me into stringed instrument work, painlessly!
These tools are a must have in every guitarists tool kit. The string height gauge makes setups extremely consistent from guitar to guitar. The directions are clear and very easy to follow. I setup my Les Pauls upon receiving the kit. And they all play virtually identical to each other now. The radius gauge got my Strat playing beautifully after I set the string height on the E strings. Stew and Mac, where were you when I was 14? Buy this kit and remember why you bought that guitar in the first place. Before you buy a pegwinder, buy this kit, seriously !
Since 1962 I've worked on guitars and since 1986 I've been operating my own set-up and repair shop. I specialize in Guitar Set Up and have a pretty good clientele of really satisfied players of all skill levels. Usually a set up from my shop takes about an hour and a half. Sure I could take less time and do less work and still get the desired result but hey, like many of you I just don't have much experience with cutting corners.
I'm past 60 years old and if there were any corners left to cut I would be knowin' 'em but there ain't none . When my Basic Setup Kit arrived I was in the midst of adjusting the relief on a fine reissue '62 Strat for one of my most talented clients. Setups which used to take an hour and a half or more have now been reduced to 45 minutes to one hour. The most amazing and useful tool I've ever had in hand is the String Action Gauge included in this kit. I rate the usefulness of this single tool above anything I've ever used in my shop. The collection of screwdrivers and hex wrenches and all my other tools are needed for sure but with the addition of this kit.
I now have tons more fun and the accuracy of my setups are now phenomenally better and are accomplished way way faster. This String Action Gauge is a Marvel and worth whatever Stew Mac wants us to pay 'cause it will pay for itself in a couple of hours! You get this Kit. Dan has one, I have one, you get a 'Basic Setup Kit" and you will be as appreciative of it as I am. Its mindblowingly Cool! It IS Truly Essential!
Very well made and with the proper tools, you can predict your results rather than hope for them. Will be purchasing more tools over time. At least now my playing ability or lack of, cannot be blamed on a poor set-up. Great products and quality - Thanks
Excellent tool set to have for checking your setup when you change string sets. Usually when swapping equal sizes there is no issue. But if you change sizes or even change material or manufacturer you need to throw an eyeball on neck curvature. The straightedge makes a pretty good personal protection device when your're not using it for precision measurements. The radius gauges stay home.

Ariadne is a Web Application Framework and Content Management System built with PHP. It allows you to build complex Web applications and sites with ease. It takes care of the mundane stuff like internationalization, security, user management, templating, data retrieval and storage, caching, and site management. It stores content in a structured object store that can be accessed through an extensive filesystem-like API.
PCGen is a Java (1.5+) -based character generator aimed at supporting OGL role playing games like those based upon the SRD, RSRD, and MSRD (such as Dungeons and Dragons). It is highly configurable by the users, allowing the Game Master to add or remove races, classes, feats, etc., and to implement house rules such as differing class or race restrictions. Level advancement is also supported, with configurable progressions of feats, skills and ability score bonuses. For "at the table" support, PCGen offers a set of GM plugins. Further options allow the user to produce a customized character sheet, which can then be viewed in, or printed from, the user's WWW browser. It can also produce a "party" sheet with the information needed by the GM.
phlyMail is a groupware, webmailer, and PIM. It offers unlimited nested groups, unlimited POP3/IMAP profiles, quotas, an integrated address book, a calendar with multiple reminders and event repetitions, a file manager with an integrated WebDAV server, the ability to send faxes, SMS support (which lets you send SMS, get reminded of events via SMS, and get email notification via SMS), a bookmark manager, themes, and multilingual support. It uses either sendmail or SMTP to send email, and can handle MIME and SSL connections. Support for IDN (Internationalized Domain Names) is included. Through its modular design, it's easy to add completely new features as modules, which can be plugged into the system.
TestLink is a test management tool and execution tracking system with Web based and SOAP interfaces. It helps streamline the software development process. It enables quality assurance teams to create and manage their test cases and organize them into test plans and execute them.

PhpPeanuts is a framework for developing database-backed applications in PHP. Rather than building an application from the bottom up, you initially only build domain model classes in which you specify properties, relationships, and database table names in metadata. The framework dynamically scaffolds getters and setters, persistency, navigation over relations, and input and delete validation. The abstract user interface instantly offers a rich set of pages for searching, browsing, drilling down, editing and reporting over your domain model. From there on you extend and refine both the domain model and the user interface to make it what you want by defining specialization classes and overriding inherited methods.
XWiki is a WikiWiki clone written in Java that supports many popular features of other Wikis like the Wiki syntax, version control, attachments, security, and searching, but also many advanced features like templates, database and dynamic development using scripting languages (Velocity, Groovy, Ruby, Python, PHP, and more), an extension system and skinability, J2EE scalability, an XML/RPC remote API, statistics, RSS feeds, PDF exporting, WYSIWYG editing, an Office viewer and importer, and a lot more.
webDiplomacy (previously phpDiplomacy) is a Web implementation of a popular turn based strategy game in which you battle to control Europe.

From grooming nails to taking the itch out of bug bites, a simple bar of soap has many odd and frugal uses. I found these uses in a recent issue of First for Women magazine:
1. Dirt-proof garden nails: Pull your fingernails over a soap bar before you start digging up your garden. The soap scum will keep dirt from getting in the crevices of your nail bed. Rinse after gardening.
2. Anti-itch: Rub a moist bar of soap over a bug bite. Let the film dry on your skin. The soapy chemicals will take the itch out of the bite.
3. Natural pesticide: With a potato peeler, shave a soap over the flowers, fruits and veggies in the garden. This step should scare off garden pests, according to the magazine.
4. Sewing guide. Narrow slivers of soap are great for marking up a garment that you are hemming or sewing. The soap marks will wash out and you'll have no need to buy sewing chalk.
I'll add additional uses on Thursday night after I return online from a religious holiday: Shavout.

Odd & Frugal Uses for a Bar of Soap

I've also used a bar of soap to ease bad foot cramps ... believe it or not! Sometimes it doesn't work, but most times it does: rub a (dry) bar of soap on the spot that's cramped, and it should disappear.
I read about this in a Dear Abby column. It's worked for both me and my elderly grandfather.
