My rep at the company is quick to see my order through and answer any questions that I have. They are in the US and speak my language literally and figuratively and are there to get me what I need.

New York, NY
Print Globe really bailed us out! We had a customer who slammed us with a difficult project that we couldn't fulfill in house, and our regular vendor was dragging his feet and couldn't even get us a hard price to tell our customer. Print Globe was able to create a solution for us and our customer and delivered on time and without complaints.
Hedgehog Solutions, Orem, UT
Price. Quality. Service. After 37 years in business, I've finally found a vendor who has all three. Wait! I just thought of one more - Variety. Now how can you beat four-out-of-four? I just love it when a printer makes my designs come to life and the client raves when they receive the final product. Thank you, PrintGlobe.

Definition of paper wasp in English:
paper wasp
Syllabification: pa·per waspnoun
- A social wasp that forms a small, umbrella-shaped nest made from wood pulp.
- Genus Polistes, family Vespidae
More example sentences- The word wasp almost immediately conjures up an image of hornets swarming from papery football-shaped nests, or the fierce stings of the common paper wasp.
- She's a paper wasp, specifically a member of the genus Polistes, the sort that builds small, open-celled, umbrella-like nests beneath eaves and picnic-shelter roofs.
- Native to North America, the paper wasp Polistes fuscatus lives in colonies of one or two queens, and usually fewer than a hundred workers.

Abstract: Accurate localization of moving sensors is essential for many fields, such as robot navigation and urban mapping. In this paper, we present a framework for GPS-supported visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping with Bundle Adjustment (BA-SLAM) using a rigorous sensor model in a panoramic camera. The rigorous model does not cause system errors, thus representing an improvement over the widely used ideal sensor model. The proposed SLAM does not require additional restrictions, such as loop closing, or additional sensors, such as expensive inertial measurement units. In this paper, the problems of the ideal sensor model for a panoramic camera are analysed, and a rigorous sensor model is established. GPS data are then introduced for global optimization and georeferencing. Using the rigorous sensor model with the geometric observation equations of BA, a GPS-supported BA-SLAM approach that combines ray observations and GPS observations is then established. Finally, our method is applied to a set of vehicle-borne panoramic images captured from a campus environment, and several ground control points (GCP) are used to check the localization accuracy. The results demonstrated that our method can reach an accuracy of several centimetres.

Activists are trying to protect the city's minority groups as the City Council district lines are about to be redrawn.
Minority advocate groups unveiled their so-called Unity Map Tuesday.
Their proposal is designed to protect the voting rights of African-Americans, Asian Americans and Latinos, while complying with the federal Voting Rights Act.
Advocate groups say the map presents the best compromise.
"The guarantee is to give an opportunity to elect, not to guarantee that we're going to elect Hispanics or whites or blacks or Asians," said Juan Cartagena, the president of Latino Justice. "So the trick has always been creating opportunities."
"We are keeping communities whole," said Jerry Vattamala of the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund. "Regardless what your race is, this will protect your community."
"Understanding that other communities share in the same struggles that we have, in terms of electing their leaders freely and fairly, it's important that we all come together," said Dr. Zulema Blair of the Center for Law and Social Justice.
The Unity Map reflects the latest census data.
The city's Districting Commission will release a draft of the new council borders on Wednesday.

#3 & #5 are exactly right! Why pass a bill loaded with so much pork unrelated to the storm should have been the focus of any fury. We will never solve the spending problem with governors and politicians like Christy, King Schumer who could care less about all the non storm pork in the bill as long as they get what they want. We have to change the thinking that my Governor, Senator or Representative brings home the "bacon" because there is no bacon left! Until that happens trillion dollar deficits will just continue leading to a disastrous collapse like Greece. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
Where is the outrage over the promise not kept by president obama? He was there, with Christie, vowing to have this taken care of in an instant? Enough of bashing Boehner....the press loves attacking Republicans. And, our side seems to love joining the chorus.This should be about the president, he DID NOT lead the effort as he promised.

It doesn´t take much to get republican pigs snorting and slopping back at the public trough alongside their democrat brothers and sisters.This is exactly what they did the full eight years of the Bush administration and this is exactly what they will do if they ever gain the presidency and congressional majorities again.Showing once again there really is only one political philosophy among the republicans and democrats.

Deserved or not, the northeast would have had their Sandy relief had Congress not filled the bill full of unnecessary pork. It`s always about the pork. This type of behavior is no different than Obama `never letting a crisis go to waste`. Every disaster that befalls this nation seems to be an opportunity for Congress to steal money from the private sector for pet projects. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

#´s 3, 5 & 7 have it correct. Why should the Republicans approve a bill that has $8 billion for Sandy restoration and $52 billion to secure more votes for liberal democRATs? Too bad that the N.E. Republicans are too stupid to see the whole picture and what the democRATs are doing to the United States. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
And yet I feel obliged to withhold my approval of the plan as proposed by this bill, to indulge a benevolent and charitable sentiment through the appropriation of public funds for that purpose.I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and duty of the general government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit. A prevalent tendency to disregard the limited mission of this power and duty should, I think, be steadfastly resisted, to the end that the lesson should be constantly enforced that, though the people support the government, the government should not support the people.The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow citizens in misfortune. This has been repeatedly and quite lately demonstrated. Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood.---Grover Cleveland, 1887.It is not up to the Federal government to repair everything after a natural disaster. That is why we have insurance. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
Complaining about the complainers can´t undo the damage. Boehner blew it. There is absolutely no excuse for this kind of tone-deaf, ham-fisted political bumbling. Saying that people should´t be reacting the way they are to it is like standing in the rain saying it shouldn´t be raining. Maybe it shouldn´t - but it is still raining. Maybe critics and partisans and demagogues and others shouldn´t be playing the failure to pass a bill up the way they are, maybe they shouldn´t be more concerned about pork, maybe, maybe, maybe. . . but the fact is that this was an exploding cigar in Boehner´s face, one that he lit himself. It makes him look incompetent.What kind of a political leader lets himself and his party get set up to be portrayed as so mired in protocol, process and, yes, obstructionism as to allow the wretched, huddled, shivering, starving, homeless victims of a calamitous hurricane to suffer needlessly? What on earth was Boehner thinking? WAS he thinking? This outcome was predictable even to a child.There is a time and a place to stand firm and draw the line on pork and spending. Hurricane disaster relief is not that time nor that place. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

Weekend Open Forum: What type of keyboard do you use?
For a bunch of hardware buffs, the TechSpot staff uses some pretty lame keyboards. I've had a standard wireless multimedia keyboard by Logitech for many years, but it's nearing the end of its life and I'm giving serious thought to taking the BlackWidow for a spin when it ships next month. I've always wanted a mechanical keyboard.
Julio, Jose and Erik favor the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, while Shawn spices things up with the Logitech G15. Prefer the tactile response of mechanical switches? The curves of an ergonomic design? The aesthetics of slim, minimalist engineering? It's amazing how many variations of the same device are available. Discuss.
User Comments: 117
Got something to say? Post a comment-
I use a Saitek Cyborg :/
I hate it, the keys have to be pressed really hard to trigger the input and the overall feel is plastic and cheap. On top of this the software it comes with also sucks and has a very limited use
I have used a "Deck" red lit keyboard in PS2 format for 4 years and love it for feel and dark room gaming or surfing
the one that came with my computer.....
pls link to others that are 4sale pls!
I use the Logitech MX-5500 keyboard and mouse combo MATT
I like it, its wireless, the keyboard is nice to type with and I can own bronze league StarCraft II players with it.
I have the NICE Saitek Cyborg. multiple colors, nice feel and very reliable.
As Matt mentioned, I use the MS Natural keyboard though I wish they sold it standalone in wireless version. I think I'm on my third Natural 4000 now, both because I like it and because it tends to lose its solid feel over time. I'd go for a keyboard with mechanical switches if I didn't favor the ergonomics of the Natural over anything else.
As for laptop keyboards, I'm a big fan of ThinkPads but thankfully numerous other laptops carry good quality keyboards these days.
Right now I am using an OCZ Alchemy Elixir that I got for a dollar after MIR. I like the texture of the rubberized keys, and the multimedia and application shortcut keys. It also has 10 programmable keys, which I have not yet used.
For several years before this one, though, I used a Saitek Gamer's keyboard. It was one of their first backlit keyboards, and may have had the best key feel of any keyboard I have ever used. It was quiet, too. It included a separate programmable keypad that I rarely used. It looked awesome, but since on these original models the backlight shined around the keys rather than thru them, they were not readable in the dark. I still have it as a backup, and use it at my repair bench when working on other computers.
Using my good ol' Logitech G15 V2. Got it on sale for $50 CAD($48 USD) And it's one of the best PC investments I've ever made.
Logitech G15 ( version 1 and 2) primarily + a couple of older PS/2 OEM kb's for entering the BIOS of the occasional motherboard that doesn't have USB enabled by default.
As a lefty I like Razer stuff, so I Have a Lycosa.
Microsoft curve 2000 cause I'm cheap yo.
Steelseries 7G

Would you say you prefer the V1 or V2 of the G15? I've tried both and although most people say they prefer the V1 I find it too bulky and the V2 to be sleeker and more modern looking.
simple old wired Logitech keyboard still serving me.
I use an A4Tech X7 G600 keyboard on my computer cause pressing the keys feels good, I like it's rugged look and it's a gaming keyboard that i use for gaming sometimes. It even has settings that can be changed with the press of a button (normal-accelerate-speedy-turbo). No drivers or software needed ;-)
I also use the MS Natural Ergonomic and have since the first year they came out. Great keyboard...
Razer Lycosa (The old one without the fuzzy cable)
I'll be upgrading to the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate to get the USB 2.0 passthru
Lycosa only has 1.1
Logitech Illuminated
Probably the only keyboard I will ever use until Logitech stops making them.
Like most of the staff, I use a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000.
I use a good old A4T classic KB, however, I did tried X7 G800 which is still lying around gathering up dust somewhere.
razer lycosa and a old apple hite keyboard with the raised keys
My laptop's standard Microsoft eHome. It works well enough, though like the rest of my case, it's a fingerprint magnet, and thus my sole motivation for not attracting federal attention. There's no software for wiping infinite fingerprints off of a comp chassis.
Would you say you prefer the V1 or V2 of the G15? I've tried both and although most people say they prefer the V1 I find it too bulky and the V2 to be sleeker and more modern looking.
I actually prefer the V1 in stock form. The V2 is probably a little more refined. but I find that I miss having the extra programmable keys (game and benchmarking applets as well as some online auctioneering macros). The stock orange backlighting isn't to my taste either- nor many other people judging by the number of blue LED mod conversions I've done.
MS Sidewinder X4. Was cheapest illuminated keyboard by far, and it's kinda grown on me. Very handy multimedia keys, dedicated calc button, and anti-ghostign capabilities that beat the G19 even. And pretty nice feel too.
Logitech G15 v2. Money well spent
Logitech Internet Pro keyboard. I love it!
i'm using a Gigabyte GK-K7100 slim laptop style keyboard for my desktop. absolutely love the slim minimalistic design. easy to press down, and makes for my main gaming keyboard too
I use a standard 104 key PS/2 keyboard. Nothing fancy. I have various brands but at the moment I happen to be using an old Dell keyboard circa 1999.

Microsoft curve 2000 cause I'm cheap yo.
As do I
Just purchased a Logitech Cordless desktop wave Pro. Cordless keyboard/Laser mouse. very happy with it. works great for FPS's and the KB has a great feel.
Have been through a few keyboards, Iiked a white Microsoft 500 wired with ps/2 plug, keep it for a backup.
Had a Logitech Internet keyboard which looked the part, but the keys were very high resistance.
A local supermarket had the first stock of the 2010 Microsoft wireless 1000 Kbd & mse sets.
Were at half price for a week, it had to be bought! Keyboard has shallow action 'easy' keys,
plus 17 hot keys, 5 that can activate the first 5 icons in the taskbar on Win 7. No delay in action,
I don't remember using a better one. If this was about the most used keyboard in UK, it would have to be the standard minimal grey Dell, I see it in every office, library or shop I go in. Shame it's so poor.
i use microsoft digital media pro keyboard and microsoft laser mouse 6000 v.1
Have any of you Logitech users had issues with the lettering rubbing off of the keys? I had that happen on two older keyboards, and remember reading a lot of negative reviews on newegg from people having that problem with the original G15, so I have not even considered a Logitech keyboard in years even though i like the features. (Love their mice!)
i use logitech ultra flat keyboard
I suppose I'm somewhat of a keyboard snob: I liked the old IBM "M" clicky-style, mechanical-switch keyboards. These days, I'm using this one: a Filco Majestouch Tactile Touch NKRO which has Cherry "brown" mechanical switches and N-key rollover -- possibly the best keyboard I've ever used (but, then, I'm not a gamer).
G15, V2. They're getting so cheap I'm thinking of getting a second one.
Logitech G15, will probably buy a more regular next time.
Logitech K340 paired with my Performance MX mouse on a single micro-dongle.
A 10 or so year old Microsoft Internet Keyboard on my main computer (no complaints, and I love how "clicky" the keys are) and one of those crap roll-up rubber keyboards on my other computer, simply because it is the only USB keyboard I own.
Logitech MX 3200 Wireless Keyboard & Mouse (Worth buying refurbished for 44$)
-LCD Screen displays time and that's it. Not very usefull at all.
Mouse could not handle the clicking from a hardcore gamer, so replaced it with Microsoft Sidwinder X8. Mouse is larger and feels bulky when compared to the smaller mouses but you get use to it.
Currently I'm using a Microsoft Reclusa and I'm pretty happy with it. I previously had a Z board which worked quite well with its removable key-sets. The only reason I replaced it was due to it's lack of a back-light. Previous to that I had an original Microsoft Natural keyboard which lasted for a long time. Lastly my first PC keyboard was the packed in one that came with my Compaq Presario 425.
Looks like we need a shootout!
I have a DasKeyboard and while I love it for typing I would never recommend it. They put an extremely crappy USB hub on the keyboard that causes all kinds of problems. Half of the time the keyboard won't initialize. When plugged in, USB mass storage devices will not be recognized.
Great keyboard, piss-poor implementation. Went round-and-round with tech support but they would not admit the obvious and, judging by responses I've come across on the internet, it's not like it's an isolated problem.

Those are the people who don't wash their hands :P With LED lit logitechs it shouldn't be a problem. Although my eyes are awful it seems the G15 V2 or G510 keyboards letters or numbers are actually a semi clear part in the plastic for the light to shine through.
Using the Logitech Illuminated keyboard one of the best keyboards i have ever used. Not sure when i will replace it.. its just excellent and very durable... been using it non stop for over a year and a half and still looks like the day i bought it.
I have used a wolfking timberwolf for 10 years to aid my mad FPS skills.They no longer make these so next year i'll prolly start using Razer lycossa keyboards
I use 2 SEAL SHIELD SSK107 Medical Grade Dishwasher Safe Keyboards. They're great because when one gets stickyed up i just grab the other one out of the dishwasher. I also have a custom dishwasher safe plexi skins for my monitor. PORN FTW!
No complains, it's my second Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. I've had non ergonomic keyboards before and I must say it's a big difference. You don't get those tired wrists after typing for long periods of time.

I'm with this guy here. I've been playing MW2 on this keyboard for awhile and I pretty much get 1st place every time, if not, then top 3 unless there are a bunch of (real) hackers players in the match.

Green Day: "99 Revolutions," from Tré (Reprise)
Billie Joe Armstrong's public meltdown in September got more column inches than Uno, Dos and Tré combined. They deserved better, especially the rage, pop and sense of "99 Revolutions," written in the aftermath of Occupy Oakland. A week before he ran off the rails in Las Vegas, Armstrong finished Green Day's New York album-release gig at Irving Plaza with this incendiary device. It was the 40th song of the set, but he sang it with a face and voice alight with sustained fury and faith. I prefer to remember the end of his year this way.

Tune-in to ESPN's coverage of the Winter X Games from Aspen all weekend to catch Green Day as a featured artist.
That means you'll hear "X Kid," "Troublemaker," "Stray Heart" and "99 Revolutions" all over the broadcasts.
On top of that Mike and Tre will be in Aspen for a special screening and Q & A of ¡Cuatro! tomorrow night at The Wheeler Opera House in Aspen.

Paint Your Roof With Working Solar Cells Made from Grass Clippings
Installing a solar roof on your home could one day be as simple as mixing your yard clippings into a stew of inexpensive chemicals and painting the resulting mixture right onto your rooftop. An MIT researcher has developed a method of manufacturing solar panels on the spot from agricultural waste, sidestepping the need for silicon and making ready-to-mix solar cheap and abundant virtually anywhere.
But first things first. What MIT's Andreas Mershin has done here is pretty interesting. His chemical cocktail extracts the photosynthesizing molecules from plant matter--including chlorophyll--and stabilizes them such that they can be spread on a glass substrate. Said substrate is coated in nanowires and titanium dioxide "sponges" that help convert photons to electrons and then ferry those electrons away as current.
But you were waiting for the other shoe to drop, and now it shall: the conversion efficiency of Mershin's paintable solar panel is just one-tenth of one percent. To even begin to make an impact, a solar panel needs an efficiency many, many times greater than that. But it's a starting place, and to sweeten the deal the technology is cheap. Mershin hopes now that he's put the technology in play, he or others will be able to build on it. More over at ExtremeTech.
Efficiency is only 1 key component to the effectiveness of a solar panel (at least for commercial use), and I argue it's even the secondary concern. The primary one is cost. Now, obviously it has to have a certain amount of efficiency which it clearly doesn't yet, but after that, cost > all.
So on that point, I'm interested if they can improve its efficiency to a point that it actually pays for itself (say, around 9-20% efficiency). If it truly is cheap enough, and can be improved to a certain "sweet spot," I could see it taking off.
I really wonder just how cheap this technology really is, especially compared to other "cheap" products available that provide 9-20% efficiency already.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - Carl Sagan
Everyone that has a degree in science is looking at this issue. Currently there is no way that a silicon based PV cell could return the amount of energy that is used to create it. PV cells are an energy negative creation. Until the energy used to create PV cells is dramatically reduced or the efficiency is greatly increased there will be no good or green PV use. Currently it is much better to use the heat of the sun as a source for electrical production. There are many examples that are energy positive designs. They can't be improved vastly in efficiency. The beauty of the heat designs is there is plenty of surface area reasonably near energy use that could be converted. Not like we are running out of deserts. While I welcome any design the total green solution is also the total live cycle. How are these chemicals going to pollute our water sources?
This sounds like a version of the Grätzel Cell
with the organic dye replaced by the photosynthesis compounds.
I would love to see the efficiency in a system like this get raised.
To a point I agree, but physical space will always place a ceiling on the feasibility of taking the low-cost/low-efficiency approach.
I occasionally work with R&D to integrate PV's into mobile field equipment, and of course mobility will enforce greater restraints on packaging size than PV arrays for a building would, but the premise is the same.
You can offer me the cheapest PV's around, maybe even give them to me for free, but if the efficiency dictates I need a million panels and I just don't have the space to place them, I'm going elsewhere.
It works fine as a trade off, but not when you're talking about efficiency sacrifice of orders of magnitude. There are exceptions, of course. Some applications have no practical limit on space I suppose.
As the MIT article (http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/biosolar-0203.html) notes, this is mostly for bringing cheap, low power production to third word nations, which would be great. Not sure this would ever be adequate for primary power production in a developed nation, or even for supplementary power for residential use.
Oh I agree, bronco. That's why I said the efficiency "sweet spot." Once you get it efficient enough the space issue is no longer a concern, cost becomes the primary factor.
In other words, you don't need a solar panel that's 95% efficient. 30% efficiency would work just fine if it met your energy needs, could be fit into your usable space and was affordable.
Cearly 0.1% efficiency isn't anywhere near efficient enough for most applications.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - Carl Sagan
some of my nerdy friends and i are working on a flexible solar panel roof shingle that interlocks. basic idea is to turn the entire roof into a massive solar panel instead of a traditional shingled roof. weather resistance is a key issue ofcourse

In the microwave world of the NFL, there doesn't seem to be much time for anything.
Until now.
Normally, the pressure on a team to win now borders on ridiculous. Granted, no team wants to struggle but please, there are a lot of good coaches, players and teams in the league.
The good teams are trying to get better and the bad ones are as well. Many of the bad teams go for the quick fix. The Broncos have been there, done that and don't even have the T-shirt anymore because it didn't work.
Now, the Broncos seem to be trying the old fashioned way: Give some guys a chance to play and see what develops.
Certainly that is the case with quarterback Tim Tebow. In his first three starts, Tebow played poorly but still helped pull out a win against a bad Miami team. Then he played really poorly against a really good Detroit squad before turning in a solid performance against a puzzling Oakland team.
In the win against the Raiders, the Broncos turned to Tebow's old friend, the read option, for success. Tebow looked more at ease in the offense he has run virtually all of his football life.
"As I've said all along, we're trying to put guys in positions where they can succeed," head coach John Fox said. "In his particular case, it's something [QB Tim Tebow] is more comfortable with, he has a lot of background in it, he's got a lot of confidence in it. We're asking a lot, not just of Tim, but our entire offense—the coaching staff, everybody involved. We've kind of grown it as we've grown with Tim. There is no question that we are looking for balance in the run and the pass. We're probably leaning a little bit more on the run right now. We have to improve in the pass game because in this league, you have to be two dimensional, not one dimensional, and it's something that's I'm sure he'll grow, we'll grow, in time."
The question is: Can an NFL team experience long-term, championship-level success with that offense?
"I've spent a lot of time in the NFC South, and we competed against the Atlanta Falcons when they had Michael Vick," Fox said. "Call it what you like, it was that quarterback having the ability to run that creates havoc on defenses because they don't count that guy as a runner. Whether it's taking off or not, they led the league in rushing for about four straight years, and Michael had a lot to do with that. He's grown as a passer. He's in the 'West Coast Offense' now, but he's made some things happen in the Philadelphia Eagle offense, and that's just the nature of his abilities. It's kind of been done, but maybe not to the exact level where we're kind of at right now."
That sounds like a definite, "I'm not sure yet."
And there is no reason Coach Fox should be sure. Teams that have dominated the NFL recently, such as the Patriots, Colts or Steelers, rely on quarterbacks who can dominate a game by passing the football. Sure, Pittsburgh usually has at least a really good running game, but the Steelers also have a quarterback who can throw with the best of them.
I'm hard-pressed to name a recent Super Bowl champion that has relied on the option game. That's not to say it can't happen. But it certainly is to say that if it were that easy, more teams would be trying it.
Only time will tell how successful the Broncos can be if they rely on an option-oriented offense. Defenses will no doubt adjust to what the Broncos did against the Raiders, that is, using the option to primarily run the football. One would think Denver will have to mix in more of a passing game into their version of the option.
How the offense evolves will likely take some time to develop. How much success the Broncos can have remains an open question.
It sure looks like the Broncos are going to take at least a little time to find out.
Kansas City is up next. How do you think this game will go? Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.

This is very interesting, RtD. Only among other reenactors am I challeged, because on movie sets, I will not portray a northerner, and I admit that this is a personal weakness. But, I don't talk much about my hobby with anyone whom doesn't share it. I assume the average person that I will meet will consider it "my hobby", at best, and "strange", at worst, and most likely be hostile to my choosing to portray a Confederate. Outside of reenacting, most people just don't really understand what it is about. It is genuinely interesting that you are of Mexican heritage and so proud of your Rebel Roots! Would it be too much to ask for you to share a little more about yourself? Such as where you are from and how your interest in The War Between the States came about? Maybe even your unit? I understand wanting to keep privacy, so there is NO reason to address these questions if you do not wish to! Everyone here will respect that choice, I think!

Corbin, Kentucky
Corbin / Laurel Lake KOA
[ 9/10 ]
We stayed three nights, and this park is very nice and clean. The hosts are the nicest we have met in a long time. The sites are mostly pull throughs, and have lots of space. The only negative I have is the park is somewhat close to I-75, and you could hear the traffic. This was not enough to keep us away next time. The Wi-fi worked great for us. We definitely will return.
Lincoln City, Indiana
Lincoln State Park
[ 9/10 ]
This is a very nice state park. Much better than the crowded and noisy Lake Rudolf nearby. There is a lake, with some pretty good fishing. They have a music show on weekends. There is a lot to do nearby, with Holiday World amusement park and Lincoln park itself. My only complaint was it gets very smoky at night with all the campfires and trees. We will definitely return.
Corbin, Kentucky
Corbin / Laurel Lake KOA
[ 8/10 ]
This is a very nice campground. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They helped us to our site, and even let us pick another site if we wanted. Bathrooms were very clean. Only complaint was a little noise from the highway.
Scottsburg, Indiana
Yogi Bear's Jellystone Camp-Resort at Raintree Lake
[ 8/10 ]
We try and stay here at least once every year. Staff was very helpful, even loaned me a 30 amp extension card for my stay. Sites are level, and well kept up. Rest rooms and showers were very clean. The pool is nice in the summer, and the lake is very large with alot of fish. No fishing license is required. Alot of activities for the kids every weekend. A very clean park, will return.

German Gulch
Simply hit "Play" to view the artifact
- Artifact ID #: 1960
- Excavation Unit: 13.5N 26W
- Level: 0-10cmbs
- Identification: Reconstructed Chinese brown-glazed stoneware wide-mouthed food jar. Archaeologists recovered nearly all the fragments that related to this food jar, and volunteers painstakingly glued them back together. This type of pot could have been used to hold a variety of dry and liquid goods imported directly from China. Some examples of the jar's contents could include pickled duck eggs, spices, dried fish, pickled vegetables, and beans. The jar would have been sealed with a ceramic lid and clay, and could have once had a paper label describing its contents. There are at least a dozen examples of this type of jar in German Gulch, though this one is the best and most complete.

Timelapse Of 30-Story Building Built In 15 Days
This is a timelapse of a 30-story, state of the art hotel being built in China in a meager 15-days. Wow. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't stay there. Get it? I don't have the money for a hotel! I'll sleep in the rental.
Constructed in Dongting Lake in Hunan province, the hotel is 170,000 square feet and can withstand a 9.0 earthquake reports Treehugger.
According to the International Business Times, the prefabricated modules were put together in a factory and then placed on steel structures at the construction site.The Chinese company behind the speedy design and building is Broad Group, a firm which previously built the 15-story Ark Hotel in Changsha, China, in just six days.
Meh, I built a 30-story LEGO tower in a single weekend once. "And what happened to it?" WTF do you think happened -- it collapsed before I was finished. Then I used the pieces to make a relatively anatomically correct LEGO woman. "Why?" I dunno, but if she tries to tell you that baby is mine she's lying!
Hit the jump for the video, but feel free to skip around. WTF do I care? I don't. About anything. I'm battling depression. :/

Gwinnett Daily Post
Shiloh Generals (8-AAAAAA)
Coach: Troy Hobbs
Record: 3-4, 1-4 region
Last week: Lost to Brookwood 30-24
Parkview Panthers (8-AAAAAA)
Coach: Cecil Flowe
Record: 5-1, 4-0 region
Last week: Beat Dacula 26-21
If it's possible, the team that lost a week ago enters this week feeling a bit better about their performance than the winner.
Shiloh, a six-point loser to Brookwood, showed marked signs of improvement and never rolled over against a team the Generals are accustomed to losing to.
"I was proud of the effort the entire night," Shiloh head coach Troy Hobbs said. "It was rewarding. That is what we've been preaching, not just me the entire staff, effort is the key. If they are giving effort, then good things can happen. Us giving good effort the entire game, I am not saying we could have beaten Brookwood, but it gave us the opportunity to be in the game."
The surprise performances came from running backs Trevon Jones and Grant Swinton who helped the Generals' attack.
"They took a pounding and they just kept on taking it," Hobbs said.
For Parkview, the win over Dacula showed some flaws in its defense and an intensity lull coming off the bye week. But this week, the Panthers worked on limiting penalties and tweaked its defense.
"Sometimes during a week off you don't get the benefit that you want," head coach Cecil Flowe said.
Last meeting: Parkview won 30-13 last year
Directions to Parkview High School: From I-85, go east on Indian Trail Road until it becomes Killian Hill Road. Turn right on Arcado Road and then left on Cole Drive. School is on the left.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A Kanawha County coal miner convicted of beating an elderly victim to death has had his appeal for a lesser sentence denied.
In a 5-0 decision, the West Virginia Supreme Court affirmed the decision of Circuit Court Judge James Stucky to not reconsider the 20-year sentence for Ernest Lyle Young.
Young, 29 at the time, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder July 2012. He told the judge then that Wilfred Naylor, 81, had been a longtime friend who made sexual advances to him.
He said he asked Naylor, a retired federal police officer at the Pentagon, to pick him up after a fight with his wife. Young told the judge the elderly man fought with him when he rebuffed him, but that he was alive when he left the house in Naylor's car.
Authorities discovered Naylor's body in his Hughes Creek home, badly beaten with a baton. They called the crime "brutal."
Young was indicted on a charge of first-degree murder but entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors that included giving testimony against another accused murderer, Brandon Gray.
Young and Gray were cellmates at South Central Regional Jail and Young testified at trial that Gray confessed a murder to him. Gray was convicted by a jury.
Young first appealed his prison sentence to Stucky, renewing his request for home confinement instead. The judge denied that.
In his appeal to the Supreme Court, Young said the circuit court erred in not granting him reconsideration. The justices did not agree.
"Upon our review, the Court finds no error in the circuit court's denial of petitioner's motion for reconsideration," they wrote in a decision released Monday.
The justices said Young's sentence fell within statutory limits. He could have been sentenced to 20 to 40 years in prison.
At his sentencing hearing, a psychologist testified that Young told him Naylor had sexually abused him as a youth.
