Comments about Blinds Steve's Exclusive Collection Cellular Shades Single Cell Room Darkening & Blackout Cellular Shades Budget 1/2" Single Cell Blackout Shades:
Cellular Shades are great for getting better insulation on your windows. Also, the blackout feature allows for the greatest light control and for darkening your room. The cordless feature is the safest for pets and children. This product allows for adding color to your room, while keeping a neutral appearance to the streetside, as the streetside color on the blind is white.
I would buy this product again

I have purchased the cordless version for 3 rooms and hope to eventually do every room because I love these blinds. Light is not an issue with these... It is nighttime in these rooms until the blinds are raised.
Gotta Have Shades!
By New Home Builder
from Washington State
Wanted somethig to block car lights as well as outdoor lighting. These shades work wonders. We were worried with the white, but they too block just as much light as the darker colors we have. From the outisde you see no tacky silver lining...it is hidden within the honeycomb
This is the place to buy your blinds!!!!

I have ordered three times from Steve's blinds and each order was for multiple blinds. They are easy to install, look great and work well. I had a problem with one retracting properly and Steve's immediately took care of it with no hassle. I will be ordering again from Steve's.

By Mark the mountain biker

I was hesitant to order any colored shades, without seeing the fabric myself. But I figured I couldnt go wrong with white, And they look great. I didnt have the time to request color swatches. They installed in minutes. And function perfectly.

Love These Shades
By Chris
from Indiana
I purchased these shades for every bedroom in our home. They are great! The color blends in well with the wall colors in our rooms. Completely blocks out light. You cannot see a thing through these shades - which is a must for bedrooms. I tried the cordless option this time and I LOVE it! No unsightly cords hanging or breaking or looking dirty. Don't hesitate here!
Excellent value
By dw

Blinds really were easy to install. Great value and they look great in our rooms.
Good product
By Janet
from Missouri
We installed the blinds on four windows in our basement. They block the sunlight, when needed,and keep the large room warmer in winter and cooler in summer. They give a clean, neat appearance to the room and fit the unusual sized windows well. We're very happy with our purchase.
Wonderful product, great prices
By Father of 3
from Cypress, CA
The room darkening single cell shades work perfectly in the kids room that faces the morning sun. They're cordless so no safety issues with the kids. They block out the sun perfectly while being simple to move up and down.
I would buy this for all my windows!
By Sue the shopper
from TX
I bought black out shades for a sunny upstairs room & it made a huge difference in keeping heat out of the room. I bought a light-filtering shade for my dining room, and the window is very wide, and it pulls up super easy with two fingers! Nice quality for a good price. Fast delivery as well.
Nice look for a reasonable price
By Chip
from Hartford, CT
Neat,simple design compliments window. Note that the installed blind stands away from window frame enough to let light in on the sides therefore it's not totally room darkening. Love the handle attachment to help raise and lower blinds since it keeps oils from hands off fabric while making it easy to operate. Size the width of the blind to extend out further than the window sill to cover the entire frame.

Excellent, as usual!
By SandyP
from Kenosha, WI
Over the last several months, I've purchased cellular room-darkening shades from Steve's for five windows (three purchases). Two years ago, we bought 5 light filtering cellular shades from JC Penney: they were much more expensive (even on sale), and VERY difficult to put up. Steve's blinds are easy to install, easy to remove (should you need to clean the window, etc.). Have not yet been disappointed with purchases from Steve's.

We love the shades...it helps with light glaring into our livingroom and blocks the sun and the heat as well. It looks great and was super easy to install! I couldnt have picked a better shade for the windows! I am using Steve's co again to replace our diningroom blinds.
Love how this works
By Happy without the sun
from State College, PA
We have a floor to ceiling window in our walk-in closet. I don't like the sun shining in because of fading my clothes. Also, we need privacy in that closet because of getting dressed in there. This blind works great for accomplishing both these things. I also have cats who love to look out this window. Since it has no strings to put up and down, they are able to get on the window ledge and push it up a little so they can see. I really like this and would recommend to anyone.

Acute cholecystitis is a sudden swelling and irritation of the gallbladder. It causes severe belly pain .
See also: Chronic cholecystitis
Cholecystitis - acute
The gallbladder is an organ that sits below the liver. It stores bile, which your body uses to digest fats in the small intestine.
Acute cholecystitis occurs when bile becomes trapped in the gallbladder. This often happens because a gallstone blocks the cystic duct. This is the tube that bile travels into and out of the gallbladder. When a stone blocks this duct, bile builds up, causing irritation and pressure in the gallbladder. This can lead to swelling and infection.
Other causes include:
Some people are more at risk for gallstones. Risk factors include:
Sometimes the bile duct becomes blocked temporarily. When this occurs repeatedly, it can lead to chronic cholecystitis . This is swelling and irritation that continues over time. Eventually, the gallbladder becomes thick and hard. It also does not store and release bile as well.
The main symptom is pain in the upper right side or upper middle of your belly that usually lasts at least 30 minutes. You may feel:
Other symptoms that may occur include:
A physical exam will show that it hurts to touch your belly.
Your doctor may order the following blood tests:
Imaging tests can show gallstones or inflammation. You may have one of these tests:
If you have severe belly pain, seek medical attention right away.
In the emergency room, you'll be given fluids through a vein. You also may be given antibiotics to fight infection.
Cholecystitis may clear up on its own. However, if you have gallstones, you will probably need surgery to remove your gallbladder .
Nonsurgical treatment includes:
You may need emergency surgery if you have complications such as:
If you are very ill, a tube may be placed in your gallbladder and through your skin to drain it. Then, once you are feeling better, you may have surgery .
Most people who have surgery to remove their gallbladder recover completely.
Call your health care provider if:
Removing the gallbladder and gallstones will prevent further attacks.

Tagged: Biggie Smalls
MUSIC NERD MOMENT OF THE DAY: REST IN PEACE, B.I.G. …and the sample that helped launch his career!
Yesterday we remembered the tragic murder of Christopher Wallace, better know to many of us 90s-era teenagers as The Notorious B.I.G. Biggie left a lyrical and musical legacy that's still matched by few and quoted by many, and having only release two albums during his short 24 years. There are far too many classic songs by B.I.G. to include in this post alone: "Party & Bullsh*t", "Everyday Struggle", "The What", "Unbelieveable", "Warning", "Mo Money Mo Problems", "Kick In The Door", the list goes on and on. And sadly, that voice was taken away from us inching closer to 20 years now. Not only that, we'll soon be celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the release of Ready To Die, the seminal and essential debut album from Big. But one of the things I've always found so cool is that a song that Big was featured on sampled some very progressive, avant garde jazz from Herbie Hancock, hence the reason for this post! The 1993 song "Dolly My Baby" by Dancehall artist Supercat, featuring a young Biggie and Puffy rhyming over the track int he infancy of the Bad Boy era, samples Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man" from the 1973 jazz fusion album Headhunters. And while the former is a gritty pounding early 90s Hip Hop classic kissed with just enough Reggae flavor to appeal to the two different genres, the latter is a classic funk-jazz hybrid that opened up a whole new world for Herbie Hancock after he had been part of Miles Davis' ensemble for so long. Biggie's verse on "Dolly My Baby" is playful, rugged and unkempt, but also would give a glimpse into the harsh yet clever and intricate lyrics that would make Ready To Die one of the signature albums of 1990s Hip Hop. Check out both songs below!

1800 is about the rate where others act like you can perform miracles, but we still can't hang with the big boys.
That's true. For me the 1800s is where the game got a little less fun because it becomes a LOT about theory, learned openings, and memorization.
I'm not saying there's no room for great creative play, but if you really want to get over 1900 or 2000 you have to knuckle down and put in a awful lot of detailed study and that's where I couldn't push myself to the next level.
I also found that other players at that level were good enough that as soon as you make one error, you've had it, and that error might even be a simple inaccuracy in the opening, then you just get ground down for the rest of the match.
I don't think I had the patience and attention span needed to ever be 2000+, although I did get the odd win against some low 2000 players.

The towels for hire didn't seem clean...kind of gross actually. The staff was nice for the most part. I probably won't stay here again. It was okay. It was loud all the time.

25 of 3rd month, 1824. At our preparative meeting there was some pamphlets handed out which friends had ordered to be printed and spread, giving an account of the enormous practice of the salve trade yet continued, notwithstanding divers nations have made laws to prohibit that most barbarous trade. The great number of vessels there is now employed in that trade so that they are bringing the poor Negroes away from their native land of near and dear connections by hundreds of thousands and [illegible] them into slavery to many of the various. One account seems to display a manifest judgment upon them. A vessel loaded with Negroes after they had got out to sea, a strange disorder in their eyes came upon them and both whites and blacks went quite blind so that they were unable to steer the vessel. Another vessel came up with them of whom they begged help, but obtained none, they fearing their disorder, and it was believed they all perished in the sea. � About 20 years ago as I was traveling in the western territories on the River Ohio, we lodged at a tavern where some men had got 52 Negroes from the Southern states and were taking to a place called the Natchees some hundreds of miles westward. There were men, women, and children, the men in chains and the women 2 had sucking babes at their breasts handcuffed with irons. To see and feel the darkness and hardness of their oppressors, hearts was painful to be in their company. It was a rainy evening and the Negroes had a fire made up in the yard and one set to singing, I suppose to drown their sorrow (see Psalms 137 and 3: for they that carried us away captive required of us a song and they that wasted us required of us mirth etc.). Some years ao I picked up a bit of newspaper off the floor wherein was an account of a vessel with 130 Negroes (of the Mantanzes) which was struck with thunder and the vessel sunk in a few minutes and all perished but the captain and his mate, who lashed some spars together and floated on them near 2 weeks, but was found and taken up by a wrecker,* that is, a vessel looking for ship wrecks. But the captain and his mate had lain so long in water they had quite lost the use of their limbs. Some few years ago there were some men from the southern states brought a number of Negroes to Redstone on their way further to West. Whilst at Redstone, a strange sickness came on them and a number of the Negroes died and one of the 2 brothers that had them in keeping died. The other set off back to get help and he also died. The inhabitants being alarmed hired a man to conduct them down the river westward and he also died so the poor Negroes were left without apparel or masters or caretakers. What became of them I have not heard. But does not or these appear singular judgments *[star and comment written later] Query. Does not the preservation of the caption and mate seem marvelous?

Barbra Streisand: One Night Only at the Village Vanguard
HARTFORD, Conn. – (Aug. 9, 2011) – In a rare intimate performance, the incomparable Barbara Streisand performs in the new concert special, Barbra Streisand: One Night Only at the Village Vanguard, Thursday, August 11 at 8 p.m. on Connecticut Public Television (CPTV).
Taped in September 2009, 48 years after her last club performance, this new public television special was recorded in front of a select group of fans and friends who had the rare opportunity to experience Streisand in the ultimate up-close-and-personal setting. Some of Streisand's closest friends were in attendance, including the widow of the founder of the Village Vanguard Max Gordon, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Nicole Kidman, Sarah Jessica Parker, Donna Karan, her husband James Brolin and many others. Accompanied only by piano, bass, guitar and drums, the iconic performer brings new warmth and emotion to classic songs such as Here's to Life, Gentle Rain, Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most and many more.
Streisand is accompanied at the Village Vanguard jazz club – a place where she used to sing as a teenager – by an accomplished quartet featuring Tamir Hendelman on piano, Jeff Carney playing bass, Brian Koonin on guitar and Ray Marchica playing drums. This is a performance no Streisand fan should miss.

1 very disappointeddeano0501 | 02/12/2007 | See all deano0501's reviews (3)I bought this game, with high expectations of waving my remote around like a lunatic. Unfortunately, nothing of the sort. Basically you just sit there remote in one hand, nunchuk in the other and shake the remote around in one hand to activate your lightsaber moves in-game. You don't even have to shake it vigourously, gentle movements will work fine. AND you don't even have to shake it, some of the buttons will take the fun out of being a virtual Jedi for you, by acting as the lightsaber attacks. Rubbish.If you're expecting the Wii remote to be your Jedi sidearm, don't bother with this game, you'll feel very cheated. If you want a game designed specifically for the remote and nunchuk, get Mario Galaxy (particularly the level where Mario has to balance on the ball - fantastic remote usage!)Perhaps I've been a bit hyper-critical with my opinion because I only completed the first level, and the remote usage might improve further on in the game, but it simply wasn't enough to hold my attention from the beginning and I got my money back.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
With a full-frame 18-Mpix CMOS sensor and twin Digic 5+ processers that's capable of continuous bursts of up 12 fps – the fastest of any professional DSLR currently - the Canon EOS-1 Dx is the firm's flagship press camera. We've assessed it with over 100 EF mount lenses, to see how well they perform. Read on to find out which models are the best optically and which, if any, you should avoid. |
We've had the opportunity to test the new ultra-high speed Samyang 24mm F1.4 prime, and thought we would alter our usual review format to take a look at the best lenses for Canon full-frame users. Read on to find out how well the Samyang performs in our tests and if that or a rival model is the best choice. |
Introduced in July this year, the EOS 70D at first sight seems like a regular update to the maker's mid-range EOS 60D model. It shares a number of features with the firm's existing SLR range including a 19-point cross-type phase detection AF system, a 3-inch (1.040M dot) articulated touchscreen and built-in WiFi connectivity with remote viewing and image transfer. The camera can also shoot at up to 7fps and has 1080/30p video recording with stereo sound using an optional external microphone. |
After almost 25 years, Canon has updated one of its oldest prime lenses with the new Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM. Adding optical image stabilization and a ring-type ultrasonic autofocus motor, the new fixed, wide-angle lens is an update to the Canon 24mm f/2.8 wide-angle prime originally released in November of 1988. |
Adding to its range of image stabilised lenses Canon has brought out this new EF 28mm f2.8. 28mm is a useful focal length and while f2.8 is not very wide, the IS makes this an attractive proposition. Taking into account that this is optically pretty good too and the result is quite promising. Photographers looking for a good all round wide angle for their kit bag could do much worse. |

Bauer Vapor APX2 Ice Hockey Skates Sr |
Was: $849.99
Free Shipping!
Lowest Price Guarantee
The Bauer Vapor APX 2 Ice Hockey Skates have raised the bar in high performance hockey skates. With an all new LightSpeed Edge holder and injected stability lacing system, the Vapor APX 2's allow you to turn tighter than ever before with unparalleled explosive power.
The signature of Bauer Vapor skates has been the X-Rib design that provides excellent structural support and stability through the entire boot. The 3D lasted Curv® Composite upper material is even more thermoformable than the previous Alive material, allowing for a thorough baking process providing a true 360° custom fit. The all-new injected stability lacing system replaces the traditional eyelets with a more durable single one-piece system. This reduces total energy lost in every stride and it can be noticeably felt when exiting turns, accelerating and crossovers.
The Tuuk LightSpeed Edge holder is a big upgrade from the LightSpeed 2 holder on the original APX skate. The Edge Holder sits 3mm taller on the front and back to prevent the skate from bottoming out and the result is a much tighter turning radius. The next improvement is the all-new quick release trigger system for the runners. Out of the box, the Tuuk Fusion runners can be removed in seconds with a pull of a trigger. Never miss a shift because of broken steel or take your game to a new level by carrying around multiple sets of runners sharpened for different rinks.
The Form-Fit 3 tongue is a 3-piece 52 oz. white felt tongue with an integrated abrasion resistant metatarsal guard. The Form-Fit+ footbed with ErgoToe allows for customizable toe protection while assisting in moisture-management and heel stabilizing. The Hydra Max 2 liner with Total Edge comfort helps to wick away moisture and resist abrasions.

Comments: I tried my friends apx2 skates on before he bake them and I was impressed on how comfortable and light they were, but when I got into about 3 minutes of skating there was pain everywhere in the forefoot and little in the ankle. the tongue is insanely huge that I had to loosen my skates at the bottom so that it wouldn't cut off the blood flow from my feet. I now have the new total one mx3 skates and they are perfect, have more features to offer like the flex tongue and the flex tendon guard and for the same price. not worth buying a lightweight but painful skate for $950
From: Alex, Brisbane, Australia
Comments: These skates are one of a kind. Hands down the comfiest skates i've ever used and the one piece eyelet system is a must if youre tired of eyelets falling apart. It also gives a better overall feel to the boot. The tongue is about 3/4 in thick providing extreme comfort and the new padding on the edge near the ankle eliminates the problem I've been having with it wearing against my skin. I dont really have much use for the quick change blade system but i'm sure its a nice feature for those players at tournaments or playing a lot of games in a season. Replacement blades are relatively expensive...about $60+ a pair. This skate may be expensive but if you have the cash, its definitely not going to waste.
From: John, Pleasanton, CA
Comments: I upgraded from the APXs because I was getting some rubbing near the tongue. I had the APX for a year, and the rubbing was always
bad, tried everything, replacing tongues and punch outs. From the moment I put on the APX2, they were the most comfortable skates I ever wore. I have been using them for 2 months, and they are great. Performance is great, comfort is great.
From: Tyler, VA
Comments: I am coming from the APX skates and the transition was seamless. The comfort level, as always, is exceptional and the new felt tongue is a nice upgrade. The new lacing system is the star in my book for this release. The system allows for a much more snug feel and gives that little extra energy transfer. The one thing I am not the biggest fan of is the fusion steel. I will be moving to LS3 shortly.
From: Rich, PA
Comments: I replaced my TotalONE NXG skates with the new vapor APX2 about 6 weeks ago. Performance wise they are similar to the NXGs. I feel like I can make harder cuts and turns with the APX2s. The new pro felt tongue is an upgrade over the original APX skates. The tongue is fairly bulky so I had to tuck the tongue under my shin guards in order to get a good fit between my shin guards and the skate boot (on my NXG and APX skates I had the tongue over the shin guard). The boot does not protect very well against pucks hitting the composite material compared to the NXGs. I'm not sure if the boot is thinner in the APX2, but I have blocked a few shots with the APX2s that have turned most of my foot black and blue. Lastly, not a fan of the quick release trigger for the runners and will change the holders after the warranty is up on the skates.

Every time I see a group of Cub Scouts taking a tour of the vast Channel 10 studios, I have flashbacks. It was back in 1955 and as a proud member of Cub Scout Pack 350, I toured the studios of Channel 4 in my hometown of Detroit. It was part of a career program, trying to help us decide what we might do for a living when we grow up.
My initial reaction to the TV station was "Gee, this doesn't look hard". I decided then and there that broadcasting was for me.
After 44-years (9 in radio and 35 on Channel 10) I'm convinced that the decision I made as a Cub Scout those many years ago, was....... questionable at best.
But I'm here now and It's too late to turn back.
On the brighter side, I do enjoy living out in the country with my wife, the cat and the chickens. It's even better when the grandkids come to see us.

More comfort for the comfortable
Fifty years ago, average Americans lived in a society where less than $10 of every $100 in personal income went to the nation's richest 1 percent.
Our top 1 percent are now grabbing just under 20 percent of America's income, double the 1963 level.
How did this happen? We Americans certainly never voted for this upward redistribution. In all the years since Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, no candidates ever campaigned on a platform that called for enriching America's already rich.

Fifty years ago, average Americans lived in a society where less than $10 of every $100 in personal income went to the nation's richest 1 percent.
Our top 1 percent are now grabbing just under 20 percent of America's income, double the 1963 level.
How did this happen? We Americans certainly never voted for this upward redistribution. In all the years since Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, no candidates ever campaigned on a platform that called for enriching America's already rich.
Yet the rich have been enriched. And they keep getting even richer while America's 99 percent face an economic insecurity that never lets up.
This doesn't make sense. Americans, after all, live amid democratic institutions. Why haven't the American people, through these institutions, been able to undo the public policies that squeeze the bottom 99 percent and lavishly reward the crew at the top?
Why, in other words, hasn't democracy slowed rising inequality?
Four political scientists take a crack at answering exactly this question in the current issue of the American Economic Association's Journal of Economic Perspectives.
The four analysts -- Stanford's Adam Bonica, Princeton's Nolan McCarty, Keith Poole from the University of Georgia, and New York University's Howard Rosenthal -- lay out a nuanced reading of our political scene that explores everything from the partisan gerrymandering of legislative districts to voter turnout by income level.
But one particular reality dramatically drives their analysis: Societies that let wealth concentrate at enormously intense levels, the four show, will quite predictably end up with a wealthy class who can concentrate enormous resources on getting their way.
These wealthy underwrite political campaigns. They spend fortunes on lobbying. They keep politicians and bureaucrats "friendly" to their interests with a revolving door that promises lucrative employment in the private sector.
Just how deeply have America's super-rich come to dominate our political process? Bonica and his co-authors offer up a revealing anecdote: Back in 1980, no American gave out more in federal election contributions than Cecil Haden, the owner of a tugboat company. Haden contributed what would, in today's dollars, amount to about $1.72 million, almost six times more than any other political contributor in 1980.
In the 2012 election cycle, by contrast, just one deep-pocket couple alone, gaming industry giant Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam, together shelled out $103.4 million to bend politics in their favored wealth-concentrating direction.
The Adelsons sit comfortably within the richest 0.01 percent of America's voting-age population. Over 40 percent of the contributions to American political campaigns are now emanating from this super-rich elite strata.
In the 1980s, campaign contributions from the top 0.01 percent roughly equaled the campaign contributions from all of organized labor. In 2012, America's top 0.01 percent all by themselves outspent labor by more than four-to-one.
Donors in this top 0.01 percent, Bonica and his colleagues point out, "give pretty evenly to Democrats and Republicans" -- and they get a pretty good return on their investment. Both "Democrats as well as Republicans," the four analysts observe, have come to "rely on big donors."
What has this reliance produced? Nothing good for average Americans. Back in the 1930s, for instance, Democrats championed the financial industry regulations that helped create a more equal mid-20th century America. In our time, significant numbers of Democrats have joined with Republicans to undo these regulations.
Conventional economists, the new paper by Bonica and his fellow analysts adds, tend to ascribe rising inequality to broad trends like globalization and technological change -- and ignore the political decisions that determine how these trends play out in real life.
But new technologies, the four political scientists counter, don't automatically have to concentrate wealth -- and these new technologies wouldn't have that impact if our intellectual property laws, a product of political give-and-take, better protected the public interest.
But too many lawmakers and other elected leaders can't see that "public interest." Cascades of cash -- from America's super rich -- have them conveniently blinded.

I have been working on a 3D model of Bleedman's Grim Junior which I described in this thread, but decided to move to the Art forum now that it has reached a somewhat mature state. Any future works involving Bleed or SNAFU will likely end up here as well.
My first picture of Junior can be found here: http://fav.me/d690zrh
It's rather rudimentary, but, as I say in the description, I will continue to improve him and make more interesting shots. Then again, that might take a while because I am currently rigging him (that is, making him poseable) which is hard.
Comments, questions, and critiques appreciated.

Sleek Slouched Pants
Take cue from the runways, and give those skinnies a rest. It's all about the refined slouchy pant this season, and designers like Stella McCartney, Alexander Wang, and Donna Karan are giving us good reason to try out a pair for ourselves. Not only are the styling possibilities limitless (pair it with a tailored blazer for work, or dress it up with heels and silky top for a night out), but we're also loving the range of colors, fabrics, and silhouettes for Fall.

Consider the amalgam of all that has been, all that is, and all that could be.
Does that amalgam undergo any change at all?
It is a candidate for what the universe really is. If so, then time can be factored out by viewing the universe as this one totality that doesn't undergo change.

quote:As I have mentioned previously in other threads, I have not been a lifelong follower of LSU sports. My sister went to LSU about 10 years ago and I have been a casual observer since then. She talked about her experiences at LSU especially concerning the football atmosphere. Which for us canucks is quite different than the much smaller hockey arenas we frequent. Regarding how I found out about TigerDroppings, I have an uncle, who taught me what I know about American football, that lives in Baltimore and has been a huge fan of Baltimore football going back to the days of the Colts with Johnny Unitas and later Bert Jones. He detested Cam Cameron as the OC for the Ravens and while I disagreed with him, I heard plenty of it. When Cam was fired last year and then subsequently joined LSU I was curious and came across TigerDroppings while searching for news on him. I have been a long time poster in a couple of other message boards that have become quite stale and TD offered a fresh place to interact with a number of different topics to discuss.
