Getting started
Choosing a crib mattress might seem like a boring task but it's one that warrants careful consideration. The mattress is as important as the crib, and we recommend buying the best one you can.
Why does it matter? For one thing, your baby will spend a lot of time in his crib. It might seem hard to believe, especially when you're getting up to feed a fussy baby in the middle of the night, but infants sleep up to 18 hours a day.
You'll want to make sure the mattress fits properly in the crib you've selected without gaps that could pose a danger to your baby. And the mattress should be firm. A soft one can conform to the shape of your baby's head or face, increasing the risk of suffocation or even sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
There are two general types of crib mattresses: foam and innerspring. Both types--if they're good quality--will keep their shape well and provide excellent support for infants and toddlers. There are differences, though. Foam--usually made from polyurethane--tends to be lighter (about 5 to 13 pounds) compared with an innerspring mattress (about 15 to 30 pounds). So although you'll probably be lifting just a corner at a time when changing your baby's sheets, it might be a bit easier with a foam mattress. Foam is also less springy and therefore less likely to be used as a trampoline when your child is older. Still, innerspring crib mattresses are more popular in the U.S., possibly because most adults sleep on innersprings, too.
Look for quality
Whichever type of mattress you chose, look for quality. The cheapest foam and innerspring mattresses have thin vinyl coverings and edgings that can tear, crack, and dry out over time. As prices increase, coverings tend to be thicker, puncture-resistant, reinforced double or triple laminates, or very fine organic cotton. An innerspring mattress that has more or better-gauge steel and better-quality cushioning will weigh more. The same goes for a foam mattress that's made of denser, better-quality foam.
Still, you don't have to spend a fortune or try as many mattresses as the Princess and the Pea to get a good-quality one. A mattress that costs between $90 and $200 will generally serve your baby well. Prices for foam and innerspring mattresses are comparable, ranging from $50 to $400 and up. (The more expensive ones are made with organic cotton or natural latex.) Low-priced models (less than $90) might be too soft and flimsy. Higher-priced models tend to be firmer and therefore safer.
You can't tell a mattress by its cover
With a mattress, almost everything that matters is on the inside. Some crib mattresses feel great in the store but begin to falter once your baby starts to use it. We've learned that you can't depend on sales staff, even at reputable retail outlets, to give you accurate information. One told us, quite convincingly, that innerspring mattresses were better than foam because foam tends to "break down'"" after 18 months. Twenty-five years ago that may have been true, but not anymore. "A top-quality foam crib mattress will hold up just as long as an innerspring crib mattress with normal use," says Dennis Schuetz, director of marketing for the Colgate Juvenile Products Company, a manufacturer in Atlanta. That's because foam crib mattresses have become much more durable.
Hit the stores
Once you get a sense of options in different price ranges, you should go to a store to see what a quality crib mattress looks and feels like. One place to start? The label. Manufacturers are required by law to reveal what a mattress is made of. Don't buy one from a manufacturer or retailer that doesn't tell you this with in-store information, displays, or online specifications. In fact, you should be able to find out the components of each layer. And when you push down on a mattress, your hand should spring right up. Schuetz says the biggest mistake parents make is picking a mattress that's comfortable for them. It's better to pick a crib mattress that's harder than you would like it to be. "If it feels good to you, it's too soft for your baby," he says, adding that babies need more support than adults.
Buy new
Buy a new crib mattress, if possible. For one thing, it ensures that the mattress is sanitary. If you buy a used mattress or accept a hand-me-down, you won't know for sure how it was cared for or stored. Mold can grow in improperly stored crib mattresses, and bacteria can fester on the surface from liquids (diaper leakage, spit-up) that weren't properly cleaned up. If you buy a new one for your first child and keep it clean, you can use it for your next child if you store it in a dry environment and it stays firm.
Use a cover
Use a tightly fitting, washable waterproof mattress cover to protect the mattress and keep the baby's sleeping environment as clean and sanitary as possible.
Test the fit
By law, all full-sized crib mattresses must be at least 27 1/4 inches by 51 5/8 inches, and no more than 6 inches thick. If you can, shop in a store that displays crib mattresses on the selling floor, and check the fit by putting it inside a sample crib before you buy it. If you can squeeze more than two fingers between the mattress and the crib, the mattress is too small.
Don't worry about warranties
Some mattresses offer warranties for one year, seven years, or even a lifetime. Don't be swayed by a long warranty, and don't pay extra for a mattress with a warranty. "Warranties are mostly a marketing tool to entice the consumer to spend more," Schuetz says. In general, you can expect a quality crib mattress to last as long as you're going to use it as long as the cover doesn't rip or tear.
We have not tested any of these crib mattresses.

GreatSchools Rating
Greatest attraction is the school never seems to close. Teachers and student are always there well into the evening. There are constant activities. I'm most impressed with the teachers who remain after class to tutor. They seem happy to be doing so. I have two granddaughters attending and they are doing very well academically along with their involvement with band, cheerleaders, drama, choir, and track. A great school with a great atmosphere, staff and administration.
Iam a female junior at e.a. and ive spent three years so far here. Its a great school in so many ways. But like any school there is always some kind of downfall. Eastmoors arts are outstanding! And all the different clubs are great to join. I'm in the impact team,gospel choir.womens chorus,mixed ensamble.spanish club.drama club and ive did many sports since freshman year here.the teachers and principles will reconize you when you achieve something great and it feels great .ive been reconized 3 times so far and one of them was in the middle of class ! lol Yes they do give a lot of work academically but that part of learning. It may be hard at first to maintain all the work but it gets easier the longer you stay. Youll love it once you get into it.:)
Great parent support! I am an Eastmoor High School Alumni with a child enrolled and am happy with the progress. The academic preparedness is top notch and the drama and athletic programs are stellar. EA is one of Columbus City Schools' gems.
The people are hurtful. The teachers can't manage the classes and the school is completely overrated. People don't understand that yes it may be ranked higher up but, the school is a terrible place to go. I know that I would never put my kids in such a place. I have been counting the days until I leave. The celebration won't be of my happy years, it will be of the fact that I never have to set foot in that building ever again. I have never hated a place so much in my life.
Excellant school academic scores are off the chain.
If you are interested in an excellant education as well as sports this is the school. Alot of great entertainers and athletes came from this High School.
Eastmoor Academy is an excellent school with excellent, hardworking teachers dedicated to the success of each student. As a parent, I am very sad to see Principal Darryl Sanders leave as his effectiveness has led to him to a promotion in the district, however, I am excited about the new leadership of the school. My experience as a parent has been outstanding. I recently spoke with a prior EA student who proudly spoke of prepardness for college which she credited to her EA experience.
Principal - Darryl Sanders Eastmoor Academy I had the most extraordinary opportunity of monitoring and observing the principal interacting with the students at Eastmoor Academy and I was extremely impressed especially with it being a without notification. The geniune, saftey,love and concerned that was shown for each child as they walked through the halls and in their classes the level of communication and sensibility for each student was phenomenal. It was a joint effort among the assistant principals as well as the staff. This school should be awarded for the tremendous work that they are incorporating for the whole student to prepare them for the future. Not only should they be rated a 5 star but, with the resources that they have to manage with, just think of the work they could accomplish as the board continues to support the principal and staff with increase revenue for the welfare of these students. Thanks
I currently attend Eastmoor Academy High School. I am a Freshman. So far I love this school and I haven't even been there for 2 months. I also like it because it is a College Prep school. So if you are not in school to learn you minds well not come to EAHS. Because the staff have zero tolerance to put up with kids that don't want a good education. So if you are looking forward to go to College this is the perfect school for you. I just think God cause I am in one of the best schools in Columbus Public District and there are many of kids that wants to be in my place. Our school slogan ' Where The Best Success'. So please be prepare when you come to this school, because the work is based on College Prep Level. Which is awesome for me and others.
All 3 of my children attended Eastmoor Academy, I found the experience to be Superb!!!! The Music & Drama Department is fantastic. The teachers really care about your children and really take the time to make sure they understand and know what they are doing. Parents stay involve in your children education to help them achieve their very best,Eastmoor staff is their to make the transition from high school student to college student an easier transition.
I graduated from Eastmoor Academy in 2001 and loved my experience here. Eastmoor did a great job of preparing me for college life and college corse work. I also loved the fine arts department. Being apart of the school plays and musicals enriched me culturally and introduced me to a world I never knew!
I think Eastmoor has the highest academic quality in Columbus Public High Schools. The drama program is known state wide and the sports programs is also noted for state titles in several areas. The PTA is perhaps the 2nd or 3rd largest in membership in the district. Several of our students have been accepted in leadership summits.
This School is best for any child that wants to goto school and get an eduction for the future bedcause they will say that if you dont want to be here walk out and we will get somone that wants to be here!
Excellent school that will prepare your child for college. Wonderful, caring teachers that offer innovative ways to educate students. Great choice.
Choosing EA as the school to prepare my son for the real world was the best decision I made. The concern that the teachers & staff show for the kids is remarkable. They truly are concerned for the young men and woman they are mentoring. When you walk into the school you feel a since a professionalism. And when you leave you feel a since of pride. The doors are always open to you and the availability and the staff is great. My son has been attending EA since the 9th grade and he will be in th 11th grade for the 2005-2006 school year. I look forward to him going make to school and reaching is destiny in life. Eastmoor Academy is the place to be.
I love this school. I attend this school as a freshman. It was hard getting used to this stuff, but after a while you will get used to it. Eastmoor Academy is a school that will better you in a plethora of ways, I promise you that.
I am a recent graduate of Eastmoor (class of 2004). I am curently enrolled in college and I feel like Eastmoor trully prepared me for the work load of college. Eastmoor is a great place to go. The teachers, staff and studnets are like one big family.
I am currently a student at Eastmoor Academy. Eastmoor teaches me daily to strive for the best, and makes me believe that I can achieve all of my goals. Eastmoor in an excellent school for any child who wants to suceed in the future. The teachers are always there when you need them, and the principal always has an open ear for your comments or concerns. Eastmoor is a great place to send any student who is determined to learn.
I really don't know to much about the new principal for this school year. Hopefully, he will be like the last. Respectful and very concerning about his students and their enviroment and learning.

Saturday 1st June, Melrose Abbey – Watercolour
The day was spent, with our guests, touring parts of the Scottish border areas and, in the afternoon, we arrived at the great ruin which is Melrose Abbey. The abbey was founded in 1136. Parts were added over the years and, in fact, over centuries. The place also suffered much destruction as well during this time. If you are interested see
as the history of this place is far too complicated to précis here.
I have visited this structure many times but never fail to be impressed by the sheer size of the remaining stonework. The building cleverly supports itself by connecting arches to massive columns which I have tried to depict here. If parts of the stonework are viewed in the correct light they take on a beautiful reddish pink colour which adds to the lightness and airiness of the place.

Feste The Jester vs Steve Big Jobs
Steve 'Big' Jobs:
"Uncle Feste child molester; you're a gimmick poster- a total no-hoper
leave you in a room with a baby girl and you'll grope her.
I'm the rapping Vic Mackay, you're nothing but my lackey,
I'm writing this watching impact and smoking wacky baccy.
I have a reputation as the golden shower freak
but my rhymes are water tight and yours are piss weak
You're a Jester - a joke, try to face me- you'll choke
Totally inferior like you're Pepsi - I'm Coke!
Like Guerreo Fan you're fucking full of shit,
that's a dated forum reference for the old-school boys who get it.
Like Hogan's daughter - you oughta - get cream on your arse,
butt cheeks split apart where you've been taking it hard.
You're like Just Me or The Spelling Bee,
popping up occasionally - just a novelty.
You don't post very often, thank fuck for that,
'cause like Hulkamania Fan you're a fucking twat.
What do I win? "

SaxonsQB Vs BigJ
You call yourself Big as if im sposed to be impressed.
When your rep round here is lower than Midas in a vest.
16 lines and Im out, I dont get paid by the hour.
If you were burning I couldnt muster up a golden shower.
A ton of posts, not a single thing of any worth
Its like you and Dangerously were pulled apart at birth.
Let me guess - your big, so that means you must be hard?
Better certify your status on a homemade business card.
Do the right thing, give back Michael Fox initial
And swap for his disease, thatd be super beneficial.
I know thats outta line, no need to raise your fists.
You clearly possess a pair of frequently shaking wrists.
No need to swear or sound street as I finalise my flow
Im Eminem motherfucker, youre barely even Snow.
Ok, you got me, theres always an exception.
I await a sick reply from that waste of an erection.

Feste The Jester Vs Steve "PrittStick" Jobs
Feste The Jester
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Just as Apollo across the heavens makes his way
So Steve Jobs his foetid yellow rays doth spray
Alas! the poor maiden caught in th'affray.
From surly youth, a plague across the borde
Out of the eflluent thy jaundiced carcass crawled
A giante turde that rises to the rim
Nailed eyes blinded to the shite withine.
Un-dyinge love of comics and of metale maskes the fact
Majoritee attained, virginitee presumably intacte.
Prithee sir, despite the licking of the glue
Rumours around the courte oft ensue
A verie 'merry' fellow, with other fellowes much 'ado'
Thy love of Ryan Reynolds lends the clue!
Thy artless scrawlings naught but epic faile;
Take heart! Clasp knickers to thy nose! Inhale!

Relax yourself there kid, and just go back to masturbatin
The three 6's in this member's number shows you i'm the lyrical Master Satan
I appreciate your point dear boy, that my posts will allways bore you
When some of the crap you spout about involves Rebekah Elmaloglou
So you think its great to bash the Foxy one, and poke fun at his disease?
Fuck me your rhymes smell worse then dog shit, they fail to even attract fleas
It's time to take your chill pill now, you'll do yourself some harm son
You need a break, if rumour's true you've 'took more sausssage' than Worrall Thompson
The magic number is 16 then? Well i'll match yours line for line
Even though i'm now so sure your out, like Gordon Balentine
You seem really interested, so i'll certify my status for you homes
Your the poet Shogun Rua, i'm the lyrical Champion John Jones
I've left this right to the last minute, so my words mature (like a fine wine)
Don't take it personally or cry over it, now is just not your time
OK i'm gettin bored now, time to move on to round two
All that's left is to flip you all off, and give Mr saxonsqb the big Fuck You

I was the first out of everyone to post their rap and Feste had like 5 days but I've still got to give him props, he killed it, I thought mine was not bad all things considered but who can compete with a rapping medieval jester?
Also he either has a great memory or did his research. Calling me a virgin was a bit weak though.
My name is not Steve

Midland Daily News (01.29.13)
Tina Counterman, a social worker at Sacred Heart Rehabilitation Center's (SHRC) AIDS Care Program, Midland, Michigan. emphasizes the importance of stable housing for individuals with HIV infection or AIDS. She explains that without proper housing, patients are not likely to have access to adequate treatment. In her role, she connects individuals with HIV infection or AIDS to treatment and funding to pay for treatment, transportation to medical care, and assistance with finding stable housing and testing. Counterman regrets that, although persons with HIV infection or AIDS are living longer, there is still stigma about the disease.
To find stable housing, Counterman may seek out both short- and long-term housing solutions. Short-term assistance covers crises, such as help with mortgage and utility payments and repairs, and long-term assistance refers to finding the patient permanent housing. A federal program called Tenant-Based Rental Assistance pays part of the rent and will continue for two years even if the individual has to move.
Midland County reports 11 residents diagnosed with HIV infection and 14 with AIDS. The typical patient is young, with no work history, and living on a Supplemental Security Income of $698 a month. The city provides very little housing for persons under age 65. Funds for housing under SHRC's AIDS Care Program originate from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Michigan Department of Community Health. The Ryan White Care Act pays for case management and furnishes the copayments for medical care, transportation, and mental health services.
SHRC provides 10 counties with behavioral health services, including substance abuse, mental health and specialized programs for women, and HIV/AIDS prevention and care management. Also, the SHRC AIDS Care Program participates in the Midland County Continuum of Care, a collaboration of more than 20 agencies working to prevent homelessness by supplying housing-related services to the homeless or persons living in substandard housing.

by liewergen on 2009-04-04 05:08:02
First off..........I love the Flextone III XL and just picked up the shortboard.........after about 15 years of searching.....I have found my holy grail!!!!!! The amp simply rocks and Line6 really hit a HOME RUN here!!!!
1. I've read that the latest version of line6 edit has some issues like the mic choices are wrong (1 off) and you can't select one or more of the mics as a result. Is this true? I'm uisng version 2, which I've read doesn't have this issue but I'd like to be uisng the latest and greatest if the full functionality is there.
2. My flextone iii XL currently has version 1.0. I really like the amp models but am curious about version 1.1. Many say they are better. I ESPECIALLY like the model of the Soldano into the 4 X 12 with V30;s....in that I have found my "voice" with a touch of ping pong delay and a dash of reverb. I'm afraid to download version 1.1 for fear that this tone will be worse.......but what if it is better? Were/are there significant changes to the Soldano model or the 4x12 with V30's in version 1.10. Can you go back to 1.00 if you don't like 1.10 and how much of a hassle is all that.
The amp just rocks from bedroom to studio to stage !
I played spiders and they sounded find but I wanted more flexibility. I played the vetta II while I am sure you could tweak it......I thought the flextone iii sounded better out of the box and I can dial in sounds that sound GREAT very quickly with Flextone iii.
Thanks in advance.

1) Yes, all Line 6 Edit versions beginning with 3.0 have the same bugs in the Flextone editor. The most serious one is indeed the missing "no mic" in the mic model pulldown menu which means that all models are off by one. This prevents you from editing sounds for headphone and DI use. Why Line 6 can not resolve this simple issue - it's really only a missing entry in the menu - is beyond everybody's imagination and has led to serious criticism of Line 6's customer support. There are other issues, too, e.g. with the compressor. Either you stay with Edit Version 2.03 (that's the last one without the bugs) or you switch to 3rd party tools like TweakWizard.
2) Firmware 1.1 is widely regarded as the better one. It improved some of the amp models (but not the Soldano) and all of the cab models. For details, please refer to this document from Tweakfreak's independent Flextone Forum. For me, the best new feature of 1.1 was the "Min Volume" parameter. It allows to change the minimum setting for the volume pedal to a value above zero so you can use the full pedal way to go from rhythm level (maybe 75%) to solo (e.g. 100%). You can download both the 1.0 and 1.1 firmware from Line 6 and you can install whatever you prefer. Of course you can go back if you like, just reinstall the 1.0. But don't forget to back up your patches, since they will not survive a firmware update.

OK...that's about what I thought.
I did check out version 1.10.....it froze my FlextoneIII XL.....go stuck on preset 3b.....with no sound.
had to reset.......
I did not like the new V30 cabinet with the soldano amp.......a bit too harsh in my opinion......they clearly EQ'd the thing to more highs.....seems like they were trying to add clarity, but I thought it was a bit harsh......I went back to version 1.00 ......system works fine now and I think it sounds better.......I can dial in whatever I want.
I can't believe there is such a bad glitch in the line6 edit.
I still love my flextone......
sounds better than my GT-10
by ChristophK on 2009-04-05 02:01:35
If you really want to stick to 1.0, there's a nice freeware editor: PatchManager by a guy from the Netherlands. It really looks good and works fine, but only with the 1.0 firmware.
by boynigel on 2009-04-05 06:03:48
so does that mean that i'm getting a mic model out of my amp's speakers unless i've selected the first mic model from the drop down menu? or does it only apply to the direct outs and headphones? thanks.
by ChristophK on 2009-04-05 12:35:51
Mic modeling generally applies only to the headphone and DI outs, not to the internal speakers. So THIS bug won't bother you as long as you use only the amp's speakers. Line 6 just forgot the top entry in the mic menu and as a result "No mic" is set when "57 On Axis" is selected. It also means that the mic model "67 Off axis" cannot be selected at all. But as I said, there are others bugs in Edit 3.02, it's really screwed up. For a complete issue list please see TweakFreak's page about that.
P.S. TweakFreak is pissed off a little bit by Line 6's customer support and does not support links from Line 6 servers to his pages at the moment. Nevertheless, his Flextone III pages are highly recommendable - so just copy the link http://tweakfreak.timeofday.nlin your browser's address bar. You will find the page with the Edit issue list in the menu on the left hand side under "Troubleshooting" -> "Line6Edit".

wow, i never realised the flex 3 had been ignored so much... it's kind of starting to get to be a bit of an issue of late... especially with editors... bugs with the pocket pod editor for over a year, late editor for the X 3. the floor pod plus i think has only just got an editor, and then we learn of this one...
as always a company like line6, which isn't really that big a company, certainly has to keep on top of new products, otherwise the money would stop coming in... but some of the issues we see seem to be such small bugs that you'd think it'd only take someone a day to fix... sure there's all the rest like beta testing the software before release which line6 would have to do, and then do the release properly, but is it really that big a job... compared to the bad rap that they get from some people because of it??
i'm not after starting up an issue with line6... but i thought i'd just keep it in mind for the future. you never know when you may need to prove a point..
by liewergen on 2009-04-05 14:30:16
Is line 6 working on an update to fix line6 edit?
what is the best after market editor......I really think that I'm going to stick with my Flextone III XL for a while. I actually also think I am going to stick with version 1.00.
What's my best bet for a full function editor aftermarket......I'd like something a bit less clumsy.......do they require you to change/convert the standard Line6 patch file types??
I really love this amp.....and I've tried everything.....sounds great in my bedroom studio.........sounds great xlr out for sudio/gig at volume, what a great amp!
by ChristophK on 2009-04-06 03:26:36
Is line 6 working on an update to fix line6 edit?
Exactly that's the tragedy... Line 6 knows about the bugs for years now but bluntly refuses to do anything about it. They obviously have already abandoned any customer support for Flextone. Same thing with Vetta and a couple of other products, too. @Rowbi: You hit the nail on the head!
Nevertheless, there are currently three good and free editors for the Flextone III used by the community: The old Line 6 Edit 2.03, TweakWizard and Patchmanager. Here my personal comparision:
|Editors for Flextone III
|Line 6 Edit 2.03
|Support for Line 6 file formats (*.l6t)?
|Yes (with converter tool)
|Java installation needed?
|Photorealistic user interface?
|Quick swap of tones?
|Tone bundle management?
|Tone export to text table?
|Export/Import of PODxt SysEx data?
|EQ correction mode (Fletcher-Munson curves)?
|Tuner calibration for Flextone III?
|Flextone III firmware support?
|1.0, 1.1
|1.0 only

This should be made a "sticky" !!
by mimungr on 2009-04-06 12:06:47
That's a great chart!
You should add a column for Edit v3. Yes, it's broken, but ...
It has really nice integration with customtone.com. I don't use customtone very often, but when I do, I find this very convenient -- just don't tweak the mic model .
FWIW, Edit v3 also does tuner calibration.
If you change the default installation directories, you can install v2 and v3 of Line 6 Edit on the same machine. So you can use v3 for exploring customtone, and then v2 or TweakWizard for everything else.
I guess the bottom-line is you don't need to pick one tool. Install them all and use the right one for the job.
by ChristophK on 2009-04-07 02:28:15
Line 6 Edit 2.03 had also the integration of Customtone (Button "Online Library"), but the link doesn't work anymore. But you can still go to www.customtone.com, download tones that are compatible with Flextone III and use them with Edit 2.03.
I didn't include Edit v3 in my list because I wanted to show only the approved bug-free software. Yes, you can work with v3 - but it's really limited because of the bugs and you really have to pay attention not to screw up your tones.
by liewergen on 2009-04-07 06:05:37
I've been using Line6 edit version 2.03 and its fine......as for custom tone.....I did a bulk download of compatible tones for the flextone three so I just use Line6 edit to access the file on my computer where the tones are stored......(I keep a seperate folder for tones that I've created or tweaked from the custom tones so I have everything backed up)....there are thousands of tones in the "custom tone" folder, it would take a lifetime to check/tweak them all out so that's cool.
I wish the wah was better on the flextone.......anyone have thoughts on the wah??? Other than that, I am really liking the flextone iii xl and trust me when I say I've tried everything.......the latest thing I was playing with was the GT-10 and while the two amps at once thing is cool................the flextone blows the GT-10 away for tone! I'm keeping the GT-10 to be able to use a bunch of fx that the flextone doesn't have.......harmonizer, acoustic sim, auto-riff, slicer, pickup simulater, synth stuff......the boss chorus is very nice and there are about 15 OD/distortion stomp boxes modeled......and I'm using my weeping demon wah.................but the tones of the flextone are really nice. The one thing that I've noticed is that having the gt-10 or even the weeping demon wah plugged into the flextone and bypassed actually alters the tone of the flextone slightly and I don't like it as much so when I've been laying down tracks.......I only have those things plugged in when I'm going to use them for a track. For my band....I only need the wah which is a compromise I can live with, although I was hoping to like the flextone's wah better.

I´ve got a big problem with Line 6 Edit because the program doesn´t find my flextone III altough I installed Line 6 Edit 2.30 and Java 1.5. Is there anything else I have to do? I´d really like to use this program. TweakWizad is not really an alternative to me as it doesn´t support the normal lt6 files.

Even tried using iBrick to restore it but now I have a neon green background color with apple logo.

A Solid 440 Rebuild
If big is good, then bigger is better. That's what we thought when we decided to rebuild our 440 Dodge block, instead of slapping in a 360 from a junkyard just to get down the road. While these big-block beasts haven't been produced since 1978, there are still plenty of them running strong in trucks, cars, motorhomes, and a few Jeeps. While a small-block swap would have been quicker and cheaper, it wouldn't have produced the torque and horsepower we needed, so a stock style rebuild was in order. Why stock? For our application it was simple; stock is simply the most reliable and durable way to go. We didn't need fancy high-rise manifolds and lumpy cams, and living in California we have this nasty problem with the emissions inspectors. They mandate stock or approved items on the engine to pass inspection, even though it may sniff dead clean at the tailpipe. We felt that 440 cubes of big-block power was more than enough, and knew that a slight rebore and a RV type of cam could help the engine breathe well enough to satisfy us-for now at least. Our engine had melted two pistons before we owned it, due to an overheating problem blamed on the radiator. Already taken apart and shoved into boxes, cans, and crates, the remains were left out in the rain to rot, which is why we got a good deal on the basket case.
With parts in hand, we went down to our friends at Coast Motor Supply in Canoga Park, California. Coast has been building engines for years, and specializes in fleets and companies that require reliable rebuilt engines. We discussed our project with the owner, Owen Carter, and came up with a plan to do all the machine work and show the process along the way. What we did was stick to the original design idea of the engine without too many hoorah parts for reliability. Upgrades are good, but sometimes compromise the end result. Here's what we came up with for a torque-devil 440 engine.

His wife, Kristi Miller, not so much.
"Time matters to him, but as long as I can make it across the finish line, I'm good," Kristi Miller said with a laugh.
Saturday was the first time the Heflin couple had ever run in Anniston's annual Woodstock 5K. They were just two of the more than 1,000 people to participate in the 33-year-old event. At least another 1,000 people came to watch, cheer and enjoy the festivities after the race.
The race began a few minutes after 7:30 a.m. in front of Anniston High School and unlike the humid weather last year, a clear sky and light breeze made temperatures far more bearable. Still, many racers were drenched in sweat after blazing through the 3.1-mile course. Many participants wore official Woodstock T-shirts, while others wore special shirts as parts of different running teams. Nearby, vendors offered food and other products.
The Millers took refuge under a shady tree in front of the high school with towels and water bottles in hand after finishing the race.
Miller said he and his wife have run several 5Ks over the years, but Woodstock was by far the most impressive.
"It's awesome and very well-organized," Miller said.
His wife agreed.
"I think everyone in the area needs to run it at least once," she said.
John Collins of Anniston was back for the Woodstock after running it a couple of years ago.
"It's a beautiful day today," Collins said as he stretched his legs in preparation for the race. "I just want to get out and run."
Collins said he used to run all the time when he was in the military and simply continued the habit after he got out. However, finishing Woodstock at a certain time was not a concern, he said.
"It's not competitive, it's just for fun ...I just don't want to be last," Collins said with a laugh.
Unlike previous years, Saturday's Woodstock featured new after-race activities, including live music from local bands, such as Jim Parks, The Gypsy Begonias, McPherson Struts, Abby Parks and Doublewide Soul. A kid zone was also on site at the high school, complete with several bouncy houses, a 21-foot water slide and a dunking booth.
Runners and residents were also encouraged to visit the Coldwater Mountain trailhead for the Fat Tire Weekend event, hosted by the Northeast Alabama Bicycle Association. Several biking enthusiasts were there to check out the event, which featured music, demo bikes from local bicycle shop Wig's Wheels, door prizes and beginner rides on the cycling trails.
Carolyn Mills of Ashville and her son came by Saturday simply to ride the trails.
"When I got here I thought they were holding a private party," Mills said with a smile.
Mills said she rode the Coldwater trails once before in January and thought Saturday would be a good day to try them again.
"I think they're great," she said. "They're a little bit of a challenge but not so bad that Joe Blow can't do them."
At 8:30 a.m. after the Woodstock ended was the 1-mile Kidstock for young children and their parents. Participating in the Kidstock and Woodstock this year was area resident Joe Jankoski and the children in his We All Run group, which he started last year to encourage students and west Anniston kids to live healthier, more active lives.
Jankoski said more kids participated in the eight-week program this year — 18 in all, nine of whom ran in the Woodstock while the rest ran in the Kidstock.
"I was pleased with the turnout and the effort," Jankoski said.
Tobias Bradley, 10, of Oxford ran in the Kidstock Saturday after training with the We All Run group for the first time earlier this year.
"I think I did good ... just as long as I passed that finish line," Bradley said.
Bradley said he joined the We All Run group to get healthier but also show others what they can accomplish with a little effort.
"I wanted to let people know that if I can do it, you can do it too," Bradley said. "I wanted to prove to myself and to others that you can help yourself."

What does the DISCLOSE Act have in common with movie monsters like Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger? No matter how many times it appears to die, it keeps coming back to life. The Hill reports that Senate Democrats are preparing to force—as early as next week—a vote on a "bare-bones" version of the DISCLOSE Act that they hope will appeal to Senate Republicans like Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, who have supported campaign finance restrictions in the past.
This "bare-bones" version, although it will not include things like prohibitions on political spending by companies with more than twenty percent foreign ownership, will still have "disclosure" mechanisms designed to discourage corporations from speaking during election season. Thus, DISCLOSE remains, as it always has been, a cynical assault on First Amendment rights by politicians who are afraid of corporations speaking out against their reelection.
As First Amendment advocates work again to put a stake in DISCLOSE's heart, they should make sure, once and for all, that—unlike with Jason and Freddy—there is no possibility of a sequel.

Some colleges need to take free-speech classes, according to survey
December 21, 2012
The Watchdog Blog Many of America's colleges appear to need to take a few courses in free speech. More than 60 percent of the 400-plus colleges and universities studied by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education have policies that restrict students' First Amendment rights. In a report released this week, FIRE also raised concern over federal and state regulations governing bullying and harassment that the report labeled sloppily written and implemented. To be fair, FIRE acknowledged that the number of schools with "red light" free-speech codes has declined for the fifth straight year. And more schools eliminated their restrictive speech policies in 2012, earning […]» Read More
Conservatives Push for Political Balance on Campus
January 26, 2005
Conservative lawmakers and activists are seeking to whip up interest in at least nine states in countering what they say is an overwhelming liberal bias at the nation's colleges and universities. But some free speech advocates and university officials say that efforts to mandate intellectual diversity are misguided and could have the opposite effect and suppress any speech that might be controversial.Legislators in the Republican-controlled statehouses of Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah, as well as Democratically-controlled Washington state, are expected to consider an "Academic Bill of Rights," a proposal that seeks to keep students' grades from being […]» Read More
At CSU Long Beach, Petition Drive Nearly Results in Firing of Student Editor
May 23, 2011
A drama over press freedom has come to an end at California State University – Long Beach (CSULB) recently, when members of CSULB's student government thought better of a petition to remove Kevin O'Brien as editor in chief of the Union Weekly, a student fee-funded opinion and humor magazine, on the basis of articles found offensive by members of the CSULB community. As the Daily 49er, an independent CSULB publication, wrote of a recent protest against the Union Weekly: The protest stemmed from two Union Weekly articles. The first was a review critical of the 41st annual Pow Wow American Indian gathering. The article's author and Union […]» Read More

Flavors is about you looking good online and bringing all your social media and photos together in one easily customisable place. It's a simple and effective way for you to promote yourself or your business online, but that doesn't mean we've gone all digital on you.
We still appreciate the appeal of a classic business card in your hand when you're out networking, and now you can bring your site off line and into the real world with your own MOO Business Cards.
Utilising your Flavors background, your free business cards (that's right, you just need to pay shipping) will include your contact details as well as your own unique QR code to direct people to your site.
Once you're logged into your account, there are a couple of ways to see what your Flavors designed MOO Business Cards will look like.
1. You can click the PROMOTE tab whilst editing your page and find it there under the heading MOO Cards, or
2. You can click the Account » Settings link in the top right hand corner of the page and see your pre-designed cards there.
It's an easy process to build your cards from then on and when we magic you across to MOO.COM, you can finalise your cards or personalise them even further.
Each of your MOO Business cards will come with a small but attractive Flavors logo on the back - unless you're a premium customer, in which case, the world is your oyster (sort of). With a premium account, there won't be any Flavors branding and you can make the card completely your own, including using your own personal web domain (if you have one).
We can't wait to see these cards out in the open and being passed around. Make sure to Tweet us @flavorsme or update us on Facebook/flavorsme with your thoughts.
Sound good? If you're not already with us why not sign up now for free.
Until next time.

Lockheed Martin and its industry partners are preparing for the next and final developmental test of the Medium Extended Air Defense System (Meads), which is designed to provide 360-deg. coverage from air and ballistic threats.
The flight test, set for early November, will include two targets, a QF-4 air-breathing drone and a Lancer tactical ballistic missile (TBM). The targets will converge on the defended area from opposite positions, stressing the 360-deg., X-band fire-control radar. This radar first tracked a TBM in June.
Once the targets are detected – one at an "extreme high" and another at an "extreme low" altitude – the fire control radar will then detect and track all five PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) interceptors fired in addition to the targets for intercepts. Should the first interceptor achieve a kill against the ballistic missile, operators will command a self-destruct of the second.
Protocol calls for a single missile to attack the air breather with two launched to counter the ballistic threat, says Marty Coyne, MEADS development director for Lockheed Martin. "You have three missiles running away from you and two missiles coming in," says Gregory Kee, general manager of the NATO Meads Management Agency.
"We feel confident. [This] is an incredibly complex test. It is a test that has never been attempted before," Coyne says.
The test will incorporate use of both Italian and German launchers; they are the same design except the actual truck holding the mission systems, Kee says. MSE missiles from launchers will be required to execute an "over-the-shoulder" maneuver to engage their targets, a feature unique to Meads.
The Meads development project began as a cooperative program with funding from Washington, Rome and Berlin. The U.S., however, opted to end funding for Meads after fiscal 2014, effectively pulling out of the production program.
In its Meads offer to Poland for its air and missile defense system procurement, Lockheed Martin is offering the country a partnership position on the team.
Washington previously paid 58% of the share of the work, with Germany offering 25% and Italy the remaining 17%.

Farmers in Calhoun County report losing portions of their corn, soybean and cotton crops because of the dry conditions. Some crops have been scorched by the sun or dwarfed by dry conditions, but the extent of the damage won't be known until harvest season ends this fall.
"We're just now beginning to get into the harvest," said Auburn University's Dennis Delaney, who specializes in soybean production. "We really don't know what the yields are going to be until we put the machines in the field."
Rainfall in and around Calhoun County has been spotty in recent days, revitalizing some crops. At the same time, the sun destroyed portions of other crops. Overall, rainfall totals remain low for the year.
So far this year, 23.73 inches of rainfall has been recorded by weather officials in Anniston. That's six inches less than the 29.73 inches that is considered normal for this time of year, said Aaron Gleason, a meteorologist who works from the National Weather Service's Birmingham office.
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, Calhoun and each of its surrounding counties are experiencing a moderate, extreme or severe level of drought. Last week farmers around the country and in 33 Alabama counties became eligible for low-interest federal loans as the result of a federal drought emergency declaration.
Highs will be in the low 90s and rain chances will hover around 60 percent, with widespread showers and thunderstorms likely, Gleason said. But even if rainfall totals rise to match annual norms, the state might not escape drought-like conditions.
Brian Fuchs, a climatologist for the Drought Monitor, said that drought conditions can persist even when rainfall is near normal or slightly below normal.
David Derrick, a regional extension agent for a 10-county region in northeast Alabama, helps farmers diagnose crop ailments and develop strategies to improve the plants before harvest. He said the drought is affecting some farms worse than others and rainfall is offering relief to some, but not to others.
"There's pockets in the whole area where it's just extremely dry and then some areas have had showers that have helped them be in a little better state," Derrick said of the 10-county region. "As you go south and east, it gets worse."
Farmers in the southeast corner of the state may have been harder hit by the drought, but it's the northern portion of Calhoun County that's been the driest, local farmers say.
Continued showers this month and next could salvage crop yields for cotton and soy plants, but bushels and bushels have already been lost.
Doug Trantham, owner of Trantham Farms, manages 1,100 acres of row crops. He grows cotton, corn, wheat, soy beans and he raises cows.
Most of his land is in Alexandria, but some is near Jacksonville. There he has 125 acres of corn, 70 percent of which, he said, will be lost.
"We're not suffering as bad as some of the folks up in Jacksonville and in the northern end of the county," Trantham said.
About 10 miles north, Keith Bryant's cotton crop is struggling. Normally waist high by now, it only rises to his knees.
He remains hopeful that rain, which recently revitalized his soy crop, will also help his cotton along.
"We got a chance to make a little bit of a cotton crop," Bryant said.
David Rogers grows corn, hay, livestock, and soybeans on 1,500 acres in Cleburne, Calhoun, Cherokee and Polk counties, the last one being across the Georgia state line. He said he's seen first-hand how a rain shower will cover one crop and skip another.
According to Rogers, communities in Cherokee County have been particularly hard-hit by the drought. In Rock Run "it was a dust bowl," until just "a couple of days ago."
Despite losses, Trantham, Bryant and Rogers remain hopeful. Each has lost a percentage of his crops, but each said the plants that have survived the drought can still yield a sizable enough crop.
"If we could get some beneficial rain now, it might get us out of the toilet," Rogers said.
Rain can revitalize the corn and cotton crops because they yield a harvest over time. The corn crop, however, is less sustainable as it matures just once.
If drought hits at just the wrong time in the corn's development, as it did this year, it's likely to be lost, Delaney said.
"The corn crop is probably the worst hit," Delaney said.

Chitabe Camp
Situated in the southern part of the Okavango Delta, Chitabe Camp is an established camp with an impressive track record for good game viewing. Upgraded and almost completely rebuilt in 2009, the elevated decks overlook a floodplain of the Chitabe Reserve which is bordered by the Moremi on three sides. One of the Delta's drier areas, it also differs from the areas further north in the Okavango in that it is largely forested with plenty of shady, wooded glades but few open plains.
Our view of Chitabe Camp
Chitabe Camp is in a super area for game, with an emphasis on game drives led by an enthusiastic team of guides. Excellent game viewing and a high standard of guiding; coupled with very comfortable accommodation make this a popular choice for visitors to the Okavango. Finding space here is often a challenge, so you're likely to need to book well in advance!
Chitabe Camp: Traveller ratings
Chitabe Camp is built on elevated wooden decks set amongst trees.

Love these jeans! Best jeans by far! I've always had problems finding jeans long enough for my long legs. But these rock and make your rear end look hot!!! March 15, 2014
LOVE My first pair of BKE jeans ever and I now see what all the talk is about. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!! I don't think I will ever wear anything else again!! I have a small waist with thicker hips, butt and legs so its hard to find jeans that are comfortable. These fit perfect and so very comfortable! December 18, 2013
Pretty Nice I have other jeans from this line but for some reason this pair was a little tight to me. But love the fading and the wear and tear. If I had bought a size bigger they would be my favorite jeans. April 23, 2013
