Chinchilla Minimap alters the Blizzard Minimap in a way to provide much nicer features and other niceties.
- Appearance
- Allows changing of blip size, border style, shape of the map (doesn't have to be circular, or even square, lots of options are available), size, etc.
- Compass
- A more flexible north-east-south-west indicator.
- Coordinates
- Show your location coordinates.
- Expander
- Make the minimap very big temporarily (good for gathering or finding a tough-to-spot enemy).
- Location
- Show the name of your location more flexibly.
- Move Buttons
- Move the buttons around the minimap to wherever you want (even off the minimap entirely).
- Ping
- Show which team-mate pinged the minimap.
- Position
- Position the minimap and frames around it.
- Range Circle
- Show on the minimap where your range extends to.
- Show / Hide
- Show or hide various frames related to the minimap.
- Tracking Dots
- Change the dots on the map to a different set of images. Very handy, especially if you suffer from colour-blindness
- Zoom
- Use the mouse-wheel to zoom the minimap and zoom out the map automatically after 20 seconds (or so).

Is anyone else having trouble with directional arrows showing up in the minimap? Mine decided to disappear for some reason (the arrows that point you to a nearby town, is what I'm referring to).
Hey, I'm still having blip problems after I installed this last ver. Sorry. Chinchilla is still the best minimap addon though :)
Excuse the ring. It was the way I was switching out the PocketPlot Blips for the GlassSphere Blips, just had to copy and paste the blips into the Blip-GlasSpheres file instead of replacing it.

Is it just me, or are the tracking dots not working properly? All of the non-Blizzard dots appear to be stretched vertically and cut in half. I miss my Nandini dots. :(
created a ticket for the combat fader in v2.2
Hope to see it get fixed :)
I'm getting rid of carbonite and hiding my minimap in combat is functionality ive become accustomed to.
Can you re-add the ability to move the WatchFrame? (Objectives) Seems Blizzard has removed this ability in one of the patches. Wub <3
So what happened to the "Tracking Dots" option in the latest build?

This pillows are very nice. I bought them in black and am thinking about purchasing more. The cover's come off so you can wash. Very nice, don't think about it and just buy them.
Like the other reviewers, I am very pleased with this purchase. The color is just what I was looking for (the burgundy) and they look great on my sofa. I wanted pillows without a pattern on them but not too plain. These fit the bill.I did purchase different pillow inserts as I don't like my pillows to be so fat. However, that's just my personal preference and doesn't reflect on the quality of these pillows.I bought two then ordered two more!
These are great pillows. My ONLY complaint is that they don't come in a larger variety of colors...even though they offer several options. They appear much nicer in person than expected. They add fun and whimsy to our decor. They are substantial and with the zipper backing will be easy to replace the pillow form if ever necessary. Great purchase.
I ordered the pillows in navy and they are soft and really dark navy! They shed a bit but that's OK, they look great!
I saw the reviews about how these pillows shed and bought them anyway. I did notice that they shed like crazy at first, but I threw them in the dryer with no heat and let the dryer pull all the threads off, and now they are great. I recommend doing this to avoid picking little pieces of lint off your couch or bed.
I ordered Navy pillows. They are still shedding after several months.
These are beutiful pillows. They are of sturdy construction. I had no idea when I purchased them, there were two in each order so bonus! The material is so soft, at times I find people sitting near one on the couch petting it like its a cat or something,
Excellent pillows! I've enjoyed them for several years. They've done well in the washing machine. You just need to trim down the pieces of chenille that get long (like loose thread) with wear and tear.

Information Regarding the Continuing Educational Requirement
Continuing Education Update: Vermont State Board of Architects (02/20/2001)
In response to questions on how to meet the new continuing education requirements for architects we offer the following:
The Vermont State Board of Architects regulates the practice of the profession of architecture in Vermont primarily for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of building occupants and users.
Vermont Architects are now required to: Complete 24 hours of study during the two (2) years between license renewals, in topics defined as health, safety and welfare related. This equals an average of one hour per month of self directed or formal learning. Many states have now adopted similar requirements for architects and other professions.
All AIA learning hours in HSW topics are accepted as are a wide variety of self-directed and formal educational settings. Classes, professional seminars, workshops, technical training, trade show seminars, magazine articles, and video tapes are all acceptable means of study.
Since a period eighteen (18) months elapsed between the passage of the new law requiring continuing education for architects, and the first renewal period in January of 2001, the Board will accept 18 credits to fulfil the continuing education requirements for the first renewal period. To simplify reporting, you may attach your AIA continuing education form or other learning reports to the renewal form. You may be asked to provide further documentation is some cases.
HSW in architecture is anything that relates to the structure, safety or soundness of buildings and sites: and promotes the general welfare of building occupants and users. Appropriate topics for study in HSW are generally defined as issues addressed by the Architecture Registration Examination (ARE).
HEALTH - Aspects of architecture that have wholesome, beneficial and healthful effects among the users of buildings or sites and address environmental issues, and health concerns in design and building.
Examples include: building climate, HVAC, humidity control, natural day-lighting, indoor air quality and nontoxic materials and finishes, green building and landscaping.
SAFETY - Aspects of architecture intended to limit or prevent accidental injury or death among users of buildings or sites, and promote public safety.
Examples include fire safety provisions, automatic sprinkler systems, structural and seismic design, wind forces, job-site safety procedures. Also included are provisions that enable equal access by users of buildings or sites. Universal Accessibility, ADA, pedestrian design.
WELFARE - Aspects of architecture that create pleasing and satisfactory building conditions, and positive emotional responses, and experiences among users.
Examples include: Building design, scale, proportions, materials, and color, spaces with special lighting, views of nature, special design features or unique responses to human needs. Also included are historic preservation, community and downtown development, land preservation and conservation, public transit, and topics such as professional ethics and legal liability.
Sources that meet the HSW requirements: AIA monographs, NCARB monographs, L & I Code College, Vermont Star Homes workshops, Build Boston workshops, NESEA workshops, CSI workshops, historic preservation workshops, design workshops, architecture magazine articles, Environmental Building News, US Green Building council, almost anything related to the architectural practice fits into HSW.
Subjects that are solely for increasing profitability or personal enjoyment would not be included.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Continuing Education Credits for Architects
Question: Can continuing education credits obtained in one two year period be carried over to the next renewal period if one has more than 24 credits in one renewal period?
Answer: Up to 12 hours of excess HSW credits maybe carried over to the next 24 hour period only. (Determined at 2/21/2001 meeting)
Question: Does all continuing education credits need to be in health, safety and welfare? If not, how many need to be?
Answer: Yes, as stated, all 24 credits must be HSW. (Determined at 2/21/2001 meeting)
Question: Can all credit be obtained in one year or does it have to be so many each year?
Answer: Yes. The only stipulation is that by the end of the 24 month period, you have 24 hours of HSW credit. (Determined at 2/21/2001 meeting)
What ever continuing education activities are selected, it is expected that the licensee will maintain records documenting them which can be presented in the event of being selected at random for audit of compliance.

Bob Knight reveals his softer side in interview
Why is ESPN college basketball analyst Bob Knight so unpleasant and angry all the time? Ask him yourself. In a recent interview from the New York Times, Knight opened up and answered numerous questions about his demeanor, offering insight on his past and how it has shaped him as a person.
Knight wasted little time in opening up in the interview, stating that he believes "hope" is the worst word in the English language. This belief likely stems from his childhood where his Grandma installed a negative line of thinking in a young Bobby Knight at an early age. Uplifting, I know.

This picture of a real door has a shape of a cross with a lion in the center to knock on the door. Jesus used this visual picture of Himself, saying, "I Am The Door." Jesus calls us to ask, seek, and knock through Him! The verse Matthew 7:7 is written on the door. Let's not ask, seek, and knock to the world or by ourselves but to God.

14 CFR 398.6 - Seat guarantees.
The number of seats guaranteed at the eligible place will be sufficient to accommodate the estimated passenger traffic at an average load factor of 60 percent, except that an average load factor of 50 percent will be used when service is provided with aircraft having fewer than 15 passenger seats.
Only under unusual circumstances will an eligible place's essential air service level be set at a number of flights that will accommodate more than 40 passengers a day in each direction (a total of 80 inbound and outbound passengers). Generally, 40 passengers can be accommodated by guaranteeing 67 seats a day in each direction (a total of 134 inbound and outbound seats).
The number of stops between or beyond the eligible place and the hub results in available aircraft capacity being shared with passengers at those other places;
The distance between the eligible place and the designated hub requires the use of large aircraft;

The one where two guys are standing around the bbq and one pushes a button and music comes on playing "The most wonderful time of the Year". You're thinking Christmas and then you see the kids all loaded up to go back to school. I bet there are more than a few people who relate to that one. :bliss:
is the Jigaloo commercial, I always end up roaring right along with the Jigaloo guy -- plus it's a darn effective commercial because the name of the product sticks with you...Years ago I saw a commercial during Superbowl and it was for some information company (I guess) -- totally ineffective because it didn't have anything to do with the product or service so no motivation to buy -- but it was hilarious and must have cost a fortune to produce...it was a takeoff on all the old movies about cattle drives, but in this case the cowpokes were herding cats. There was a shot of the cats fording a stream, one of the cowboy coming back to the herd with a kitten across his saddle, one with the cowboys at night around the campfire and you can hear meowing, and one cowboy says The herd is restless tonight -- then the stampede and a shot of thundering paws -- well, you get the drift, it was a scream but what was it selling????? :rolleyes:
I like those Staples commercials too. My weird kids are actually looking forward to getting back to school. My 14 yr old DD was just saying the other day that she can't wait to go back, but to my surprise, her reason was not that she misses her friends, but that she misses doing math. :confused: Yes, I did check her temperature and she wasn't even feverish... hehe.
Btw, my favourite commercials have always been the Serta mattress ones with those cute sheep!!
those staples commercials always make me laugh! but I really do feel bad for the kids....back to school really sucks! :cry:
i LOVE that commercial....LOL.... :fireworks

What to Pack For a Yoga Festival Dreaming of Wanderlust: 17 Must-Pack Pieces by Lizzie Fuhr 7/09/13 5 Reactions 39 Shares Print 1 2 36 0 0 Next week I'm off to Wanderlust in Squaw Valley; I've been counting down the hours to the festival's classes, which are taught by some of the best yoga teachers working today. Other than doing plenty of yoga and meditation to "train," I've been dreaming up an ideal packing list to take along on my big adventure. Check out all the highly covetable yoga gear I'd love to rock on the mountain, and get inspired for your next yoga festival or retreat. Source: Ali Kaukas Start Big Sun Hat What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The sun can get a little scorching on the mountain. For walking around and exploring the village, this Wide Brim Sun Hat ($42) will fold up easily and help keep things cool with a little hippie flair. 1 / 17 Foam Blocks What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you're going to need a block at any point in your practice, then it's best to come prepared. A Hugger Mugger Foam Block ($15) is light enough to toss in your backpack or carry from class to class with no heavy hassle. 2 / 17 Cropped Yoga Pants What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Long yoga pants are a no go in my practice. They get in the way of flowing, and teachers can't see your feet, preventing them from helping you to make quality adjustments. Prana's Rylee Knickers ($68) are lightweight and flexible and come with a sweet paisley print at the knee. 3 / 17 Quick Pick-Me-Up What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ever since I discovered the Clarins Beauty Flash Balm ($45) a few Summers back, I've been hooked. Just a dab on the face brightens things up to keep you looking fresh. 4 / 17 Cozy Circle Scarf What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I tried on my first Unisex Tie Dye Circle Scarf ($34) when I was in college, and I've been hooked ever since. Whether you're in need of comfortable warmth or a cozy blanket, this multipurpose scarf will be your new best friend. I've had two of the black-and-white tie-dye pictured. 6 / 17 Chocolate Mat Carrier What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The understated hue of this Chocolate Mat Carrier ($150) is perfectly complemented by the yellow and blue details. Instead of your standard fabric mat bag, this modern pick is a chic one. 6 / 17 Quality Towel What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 With lots of classes back to back, my mat is going to be getting a lot of use. For workshops where I'm building lots of heat, a Yogitoes Yellow Skidless Towel ($64) helps prevent slipping around during practice. 7 / 17 Travel Roller What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Foam rollers are a great way to give your muscles some love, but those long guys can be a pain to carry. This is where the Travel Roller ($45) will come in handy. My IT bands and quads will thank me for the love. 8 / 17 Sweet-Smelling Wipes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For when I'm running from class to class, Herban Essentials Towelettes ($16 for 20) come individually wrapped so I can wipe down my mat or freshen up my scent. This variety pack offers lemon, lavender, and peppermint scents. 9 / 17 Twistbands What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Twistbands are definitely making their way into my suitcase. For someone with thick hair who hates standard elastics, Twistbands are a dream come true. I'm a big fan of these sweet Tie-Dye Lucy Hair Ties ($12) for their boho flair and easy hues. 11 / 17 Totable Water Bottle What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We love Lifefactory glass bottles. The brand's new Glass Bottle With Straw ($27) is easier to sip out of with its new top. 11 / 17 Flowy Top What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 After a luxurious day of yoga goodness, throwing on this Victoria's Secret Peasant Blouse ($32, originally $40) will be the icing on the cake. The last thing I'd want is to be constricted in my clothes. 12 / 17 Wild Head Wrap What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Certain headbands slip too easily, but I've found that a wide fabric wrap like this See You Monday Red Galaxy Turban ($15) stays on tight.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 (16 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
1 pound ground beef
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning
1 cup water
1 (15 ounce) jar nacho cheese dip
1 (10 ounce) can canned diced tomatoes and green chiles, drained
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons taco sauce
1 (10 ounce) bag shredded lettuce
1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
This was sooo good! My kids gave it 5 stars, made it as is, and will most definitely make again! Thanks for sharing
Family didn't care for this.

This was surprisingly good. We were missing more ingredients than i thought before i started but we made it anyway. It still turned out great. My casserole with just had tater tots, taco seasoned ground beef cooked with diced onion, and shredded cheese. Sprinkle fresh diced tomato (post bake) and a sour cream mixed with taco sauce. It was delicious! We will definitely make again. Maybe next time with more ingredients.
Yummy! I kept the lettuce and sour cream off the top so that it could be added by the eater and it could easily be reheated without wilting lettuce. I added bacon on top just for a little extra flavor. Turned out great even though I reversed the order of the tomatoes and cheese sauce. I also mixed the tomatoes and olives before putting it on so that they were better spread over the entire thing.
My husband loves it. Enough said! This is the second time I've made this for him. This time I layered the ingredients and topped it with more tots!
This recipe is packed with flavor. My family loved it!!! My 7 yr old son gave it Two overall excited thumbs up. The only thing I changed was instead of black olives I used a can of black bean since this is what I had on hand. One of the most flavorful Casseroles I've made. YUMMY:]
I made this not to long ago and everyone loved it, which means there wasn't any leftovers. I did add crunched up tortilla chips to the top, which was a great idea. Although, next time I make this I'm going to add Mexican rice in the mix.
This has become a regular menu item in our house! Love it and so easy to make.

Advent is a season observed in many Western Christian churches as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas. The term is an anglicized version of the Latin word adventus, meaning "coming".
Advent is the beginning of the Western liturgical year and commences on Advent Sunday. The Eastern churches' equivalent of Advent is called the Nativity Fast, but it differs in both length and observances and does not begin the church year, which starts instead on September 1.[1] At least in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Moravian, Presbyterian and Methodist calendars, Advent starts on the fourth Sunday before December 25, which is the Sunday between November 27 and December 3 inclusive.[2]
Latin adventus is the translation of the Greek word parousia, commonly used to refer to the Second Coming of Christ. For Christians, the season of Advent anticipates the coming of Christ from two different perspectives. The season offers the opportunity to share in the ancient longing for the coming of the Messiah, and to be alert for his Second Coming.
The theme of readings and teachings during Advent is often the preparation for the Second Coming while commemorating the First Coming of Christ at Christmas. The first clear references in the Western Church to Advent occur in the Gelasian Sacramentary, which provides Advent Collects, Epistles, and Gospels for the five Sundays preceding Christmas and for the corresponding Wednesdays and Fridays.[3] While the readings relate to the first coming of Jesus Christ as savior as well as to his second coming as judge, traditions vary in the relative importance of penitence and expectation during the four Sundays in Advent.
Liturgical colors[edit]
The usual liturgical color in Western Christianity for Advent is either purple or blue.[4] The purple color is often used for hangings around the church, the vestments of the clergy, and often also the tabernacle. In some Christian denominations, blue, a color representing hope, is an alternative liturgical color for Advent, a custom traced to the usage of the Church of Sweden (Lutheran) and the medieval Sarum Rite in England. In addition, the color blue is also used in the Mozarabic Rite (Catholic and Anglican), which dates from the 8th century. This color is often referred to as "Sarum blue".
The Lutheran Book of Worship lists blue as the preferred color for Advent while the Methodist Book of Worship identifies purple or blue as appropriate for Advent. There has been an increasing trend to supplant purple with blue during Advent as it is a hopeful season of preparation that anticipates both Bethlehem and the consummation of history in the second coming of Jesus Christ.[5]
Proponents of this new liturgical trend argue that purple is traditionally associated with solemnity and somberness, which is fitting to the repentant character of Lent. The Roman Catholic Church retains the traditional purple.[citation needed] Blue is not generally used in Latin Catholicism, and where it does regionally, it has nothing to do with Advent specifically, but with veneration of the Blessed Virgin.[citation needed] However, on some occasions that are heavily associated with Advent, such as the Rorate Mass (but not on Sundays), white is used.[citation needed]
On the 3rd Sunday of Advent, Gaudete Sunday, rose may be used instead, referencing the rose used on Laetare Sunday, the 4th Sunday of Lent.
During the Nativity Fast, red is used by Eastern Christianity, although gold is an alternative color.[6]
Many churches also hold special musical events, such as Nine Lessons and Carols and singing of Handel's Messiah oratorio, Also, the Advent Prose, an antiphonal plainsong, may be sung. The "Late Advent Weekdays", December 17–24, mark the singing of the Great Advent 'O antiphons'.[7] These are the antiphons for the Magnificat at Vespers, or Evening Prayer (in the Roman Catholic and Lutheran churches) and Evensong in Anglican churches each day and mark the forthcoming birth of the Messiah. They form the basis for each verse of the popular Advent hymn, "O come, O come, Emmanuel". German songs for Advent include "Es kommt ein Schiff, geladen" from the 15th century. Johann Sebastian Bach composed four cantatas for Advent in Weimar, beginning with Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, BWV 61, but only a few more in Leipzig because was a silent time which allowed a cantata only on the first Sunday in Advent.
From the 4th century the season was kept as a period of fasting as strict as in Lent (commencing in some localities on 11 November; this being the feast day of St. Martin of Tours, the fast became known as "St. Martin's Lent", "St. Martin's Fast" or the "forty days of St. Martin"). The feast day was in many countries a time of frolic and heavy eating, since the 40-day fast began the next day.[8]
In the Anglican and Lutheran churches this fasting rule was later relaxed. The Roman Catholic Church later abolished the precept of fasting (at an unknown date at the latest in 1917), later, but kept Advent as a season of penitence. In addition to fasting, dancing and similar festivities were forbidden in these traditions. On Rose Sunday, relaxation of the fast was permitted. Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches still hold the tradition of fasting for 40 days before Christmas.
Folk Traditions[edit]
In England, especially in the northern counties, there was a custom (now extinct) for poor women to carry around the "Advent images", two dolls dressed to represent Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary. A halfpenny coin was expected from every one to whom these were exhibited and bad luck was thought to menace the household not visited by the doll-bearers before Christmas Eve at the latest.[9]
In Normandy, farmers employed children under twelve to run through the fields and orchards armed with torches, setting fire to bundles of straw, and thus it was believed driving out such vermin as were likely to damage the crops.[10]
In Italy, among other Advent celebrations is the entry into Rome in the last days of Advent of the Calabrian pifferari, or bagpipe players, who play before the shrines of Mary, the mother of Jesus: in Italian tradition, the shepherds played these pipes when they came to the manger at Bethlehem to pay homage to the infant Jesus.[11]
In recent times the most common observance of Advent outside church circles has been the keeping of an advent calendar or advent candle, with one door being opened in the calendar, or one section of the candle being burned, on each day in December leading up to Christmas Eve.
Four Sundays and Candles[edit]
The keeping of an advent wreath is also a common practice in homes or churches. The readings for the first Sunday in Advent relate to the old testament patriarchs who were Christ's ancestors, so some call the first advent candle that of hope. The readings for the second Sunday concern Christ's birth in a manger and other prophesies, so the candle may be called of Bethlehem, the way or of the prophets. The third Sunday, Gaudete Sunday after the first word of the introit (Philippians 4:4), is celebrated with rose-colored vestments similar to Laetare Sunday at the middle point of Lent.
The readings relate to St. John the Baptist, and the rose candle may be called of joy or of the shepherds. In the Episcopal Church USA, the collect stir up may be read during this week, although before the 1979 revision of the Book of Common Prayer it was sometimes read in the first Sunday of Advent. Even earlier, 'Stir-up Sunday' was once jocularly associated with the stirring of the Christmas mincement, begun before Advent. The phrase 'Stir up' occurs at the start of the collect for the last Sunday before Advent in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer.[12]
The readings for the fourth Sunday relate to the annunciation of Christ's birth, so the candle may be known as the Angel's candle. The Magnificat or Song of Mary may be featured. Where an advent wreath includes a fifth candle, it is known as the Christ candle and lit during the Christmas Eve service.[13][14]

We have stayed here before and found it very nice, but this time the pool was not clean ( someone actually carved their initials in the grime)! Other than that, it is a nice park, but try and get a spot away from the freeway noise.

Very nice RV Park. Someone spent a lot of money on this park. Has nice spots with gas grills and gazebos. Has great landscaping and a GREAT pool. Highly recommend this park. Pahrump is a small town with not much going on, but this park makes up for it.

This is one of the nicest parks, very friendly helpful staff. We don't care about computers when we are on vacation so that was not a issue, but 6.00 does not seem that much after all you spend in Vegas. Did like the idea of Adult Pool and it was heated, which is rare anymore. We have two dogs and they are very dog friendly and have two runs. No loud parties and screaming children which was nice. Movie theater restaurant, books, etc. We didn't even un-hook.

Publication Details
Continuous intramedullary polymer particle infusion using a murine femoral explant model.
Journal of biomedical materials research. Part B, Applied biomaterials
2008; 87 (2): 440-446
In vitro models are important investigative tools in understanding the biological processes involved in wear-particle-induced chronic inflammation and periprosthetic osteolysis. In the clinical scenario, particles are produced and delivered continuously over extended periods of time. Previously, we quantified the delivery of both polystyrene and polyethylene particles over 2- and 4-week time periods using osmotic pumps and collection tubes. In the present study, we used explanted mice femora in organ culture and showed that continuous intramedullary delivery of submicron-sized polymer particles using osmotic pumps is feasible. Furthermore, infusion of 2.60 x 10(11) particles per mL (intermediate concentration) of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) for 2 weeks and 8.06 x 10(11) particles per mL (high concentration) UHMWPE for 4 weeks both yielded significantly higher scores for bone loss when compared with controls in which only mouse serum was infused.

I have to agree Cleburne would be a great subject for a movie but for me, as a salt water fan, a film following the life and career of Raphael Semmes is an action movie that needs to be made. From his service in the US Navy in the Mexican war and his participation in the march on Mexico city through his service to the Confederacy as commander of the "Sumter" and, more famously, the "Alabama". After her sinking by the "Kearsarge" he escaped to England and then back to the CS to take command of the James River Squadron during the last weeks of the war before turning his sailors into soldiers and finally surrendering as an (honorary) Brig.Gen. with Johnstons army. Daniel Day Lewis would be my choice to play the diehard Semmes. |

CLEVELAND (AP) — With a deep, refined voice, one that had been sadly misplaced, Ted Williams simply asked for help to get him off the streets.
He's been heard.
Left homeless after his life and career were ruined by drugs and alcohol, Williams has been offered a job by the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers and is being pursued by NFL Films for possible work after he and his compelling tale became an online curiosity.
"This has been totally, totally amazing," Williams said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, his voice choking with emotion. "I'm just so thankful. God has blessed me so deeply. I'm getting a second chance. Amazing."
Williams was contacted Wednesday by the Cavaliers, who have offered him a position that could include announcing work at Quicken Loans Arena, the team's downtown arena. Williams said the team has offered him a two-year contract and said they would pay his mortgage.
But, wait. It gets better.
Williams said the Cavaliers' offer is just one of many flooding in over the past two days.
"I can't believe what's going on," said Williams, a father of nine, adding he feels like Susan Boyle, the English singing sensation who became an overnight star. "God gave me a million-dollar voice and I just hope I can do right by him."
Williams said he is flying to New York to see his 90-year-old mother, who lives in Brooklyn and has stood by him during his battles with addiction.
"She has always been my best friend," he said, crying. "When I was a kid, she would take me down to Radio City Music Hall and on the subway. I'm just glad that she is still around. I prayed that she would live long enough that I could make her proud and see could her son do something other than stand along the side of the road with a sign asking for money."
Williams' life began spiraling downward in 1996 when he began drinking alcohol "pretty bad." He used marijuana and cocaine and lost interest in his radio career.
Williams said his last job was with a station in Columbus. He eventually wound up on the streets, despite the best efforts of his children, seven daughters and two sons who all live in the Columbus area.
"They have mixed emotions about what is going on," Williams said. "During my detox stages, I had a tendency to eat up everybody's food. I'm a grandfather, too, and I was eating what should have gone to their kids."
Williams said he celebrated two years of sobriety "around Thanksgiving. I just hope everyone will pray for me."
Williams was initially spotted by The Columbus Dispatch standing near an exit ramp off Interstate 71. In a video interview that quickly became wildly popular, Williams — holding a cardboard sign that asked motorists for help and says, "I'm an ex-radio announcer who has fallen on hard times" — explained in his smooth, bottomless voice that he was drawn to radio at the age of 14.
When he first heard Williams' beautiful, bottomless voice, Kevin McLoughlin of NFL Films, which has chronicled pro football for nearly 50 years, knew he had to contact the unknown man.
"It's that voice," said McLoughlin, director of post-production films for the NFL told The Associated Press. "When he was telling his story, I said, 'That's what we do. This guy can tell a story.' Somehow, some way, I need to get a demo with him. He could be that diamond in the rough."
McLoughlin has not been able to contact Williams, but he intends to track him down.
"The man deserves a second chance," he said.
Williams' story should be an inspiration for other homeless people, said Bob Ater, executive director of the Columbus Coalition for the Homeless.
"One of the problems with a lot of homeless people is that they have some rich talent, but don't have the confidence to exploit that talent," Ater said, adding he was unfamiliar with Williams before the video hit. "He's fabulous. The Cavaliers could use a boost of some kind."
They sure can. The Cavaliers, after all, are 8-26 and in last place in the Central Division. They play Toronto tonight in Cleveland.

Cancer Treatment Team
Modern cancer treatment requires the input of multiple types of cancer specialists for developing and applying the best treatment plan individualized for each patient. Diagnostic radiologists and pathologists provide essential information regarding the diagnosis of cancer, the extent of the cancer, and the individual characteristics of each cancer that help to determine the prognosis, the appropriate treatment, and patient's potential reaction to the treatments. Surgeons, radiation oncologists and medical oncologists are the primary treating physicians, often working together to develop a combination of treatments that offer the best outcome for each individual patient. Other physicians specialize in caring for and managing the side effects of the treatment and the cancer that the patient might experience through pain management, physical fitness and rehabilitation, mental and spiritual well being, natural medicine, and nutrition.
At Swedish, we create a team of cancer physicians appropriate for each individual patient to optimize our patients' treatment plan and provide the very best outcome possible. The team works together in coordinating the diagnostic procedures, reviewing the patient's unique situation, prescribing and delivering the appropriate treatments, and following the patient post treatment. This team approach provides our patients with the opinion and expertise of the very best physicians.

- Up close with Sony's S1/S2 tablets (photos)
S1 and S2
At long last, Sony has thrown its hat into the tablet ring, announcing two models on Tuesday code-named S1 and S2. The S1 is aimed at media consumption, while the dual-screen S2 is suited for communication (but can still play media).
Both tablets will feature responsive touch screens, Android 3.0, Wi-Fi, WAN (3G/4G), and a variety of Internet services. A "swift" Web browser promises faster loading times for Web sites on slower wireless connections (most likely borrowed technology from Opera, which has collaborated with Sony's Web browsers before). They will also be fully compatible with Adobe Flash (like other Honeycomb tablets).
The devices will become available worldwide starting in the fall.

3/4" 5" Tigerwood on 5 stairs. Treads?
House: 1969 split entry short faced.
I've finished up tearing out 700 ft2 of carpet and parquet flooring underneath that, deck screwed all the existing plywood down to eliminate the squeaks and installed 3/4" Brazilian KOA Tigerwood that I obtained for a great price by using odd lot. Strategic use of the planks combined with an attitude that my two 90lb dogs will create more imperfections made it a perfect choice for me. TMI, just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone looking to do great flooring for half the price. Months have gone by since removing some of the carpet on the stairs to see what I had to contend with. I have plenty of wood left so I am looking to use the planks on the treads and risers. I bought the stair-nose unfinished off Amazon for cheap and they are all sanded, finished and awaiting the day I stop procrastinating. I know solid treads would be superior but I'd rather use the flooring to match the upstairs and solid tread tigerwood is $$$$$$ I thought I was going to be able to remove the carpet, screw the decking down tight to eliminate squeaks, cut the nose and put down the flooring. There is a lot of issues I now see. 1. Currently the stair heights are 7 3/4" for all except the top to the landing where the wood was installed. That's 8" now. So if I install the 3/4" wood on top of 1" treads I will have 8 1/4" for the first step, 7 1/4" for the top and 7 3/4" for the ones in between. It this unacceptable? 1" decking is the thinnest I can go, correct? 2. The decking is not a solid piece. It's multiple pieces probably not visible in the pics. I imagine that they should be replaced with plywood if that route is even an option based on #1. The current ones extend in to the stringer on the wall. See any issues? 3. If I have to rebuild the stairs (hopefully not but I've got a feeling) does anyone have a really rough estimate on materials? I didn't want to use prefab stair treads and stain to match but if rebuilding becomes cost prohibitive that might be easier to avoid the height change. That might look cr#%!y though as I wouldn't have the planks and nose to hide any gap between the stringer and tread. 4. I love my dogs and know that wood stairs is a bad idea for them. I will be tapping in a padded carpet runner down the finished steps so no worries. Sucks mauling stairs with this way but a runner can be replaced every year or two easily Looking for advice on options for a small budget. Thanks! |

Facebook values itself at nearly $77 billion
April 23, 2012: 3:59 PM ETFacebook picks a price.
FORTUNE --- I noted this in an earlier post of Facebook's first quarter financials, but I think it deserves one of its own: Facebook is officially valuing itself at just under $77 billion.
Here's how the math works: Facebook recently acquired mobile photo-sharing site Instagram, announcing that the deal was worth approximately $1 billion. Today it provided more specifics, saying that the deal included $300 million in cash and "approximately 23 million shares" of common stock.
That means the stock is valued at around $700 million, or $30.43 per share. Based on the number of shares outstanding, that works out to a valuation of approximately $75 billion.
But a source familiar with the situation says that actual price per share for Instagram was $30.89 per share (i.e., they knew the exact number of shares, not an approximation), which brings the valuation up to between $76 billion and $77 billion.
This is significantly less than the $100 billion that has been bandied around not only in the press, but on the secondary private markets (where Facebook shares have traded in the low $40s).
Chances are, however, that Facebook is low-balling here. Investor interest in the IPO is expected to be intense, with both a price increase and first-day pop likely. Not only does that mean Facebook could still break the triple-digit mark next month, but also means Instagram might actually have gotten much closer to its original $2 billion asking price than people had previously realized.
