The Best Game-Console Mods
Hackers have radically transformed the latest videogame consoles
Ben Heckendorn's game-console creations, from a portable Atari 2600 to a pocket-sized Nintendo 64, are famous in the modder world. But he may have topped himself with his Xbox 360 Elite laptop.
To shoehorn a full 360 into the 2.25-by-16-by-12-inch case and keep it playable, Heckendorn had to install fans and speakers and redo the internal layout of the machine several times. He then rewired the console to output the video to the 17-inch LCD display, on which he mounted an Xbox Live Vision camera for online multiplayer games.
For the exterior, he coated the aluminum case with plastic engraving material, allowing him to paint hexagonal designs in gold on the marbled green surface. Always eager for a new challenge, and already having built a Wii laptop, Heckendorn has moved on to creating a portable version of the PlayStation 3. For details on all his game-console mods, head to benheck.com.
Turn the page for step-by-step instructions. And for more far-out mods, launch the gallery here.
...you might want to know that Ben Heckendorn has made a laptop out of a PS3 as well. Does that mean that Sony are lame as well, then? Leaves only WII left in the competition. Wait. Heckendorn's made a laptop out of that one too.... darn.
redwarrior is right. Without Halo the xbox would not be worth its weight in dog crap.
I have something close to that. I used a 12 volt deep cycle car battery and a 400 watt DC to AC inverter to power a playstation and a small linux computer inside of an old suitcase with wheels. works great! i love it!
I have an Xbox360. And I would so want it to be portable. I so would want one of those. It even looks like a custom Halo laptop. The only downfall is that it is probably a little bit on the heavy side, for a portable gaming console.
redwarrior and jwilliams are both full of it.I agree that Halo was important for the rise of xbox ,but xbox would still be up there with playstation and wii.think of assassins creed, Call of Duty, Fallout, overlord(not so much),Farcry, and the list could go on. get my point?
no, my personal opinion says that wii doesn't rank with xbox 360 and ps3. Sure they figured out some stuff before microsoft and sony, but there games Aren't worth anything compared to at least xbox 360 games. I don't know about ps3, I've never played one.

ASHBURN, Va. —
Let's get the friendly trash-talk out of the way first. Washington Redskins defensive tackle Barry Cofield, after playing five years with the New York Giants, is telling tales on his pals as he prepares to face his old team on Sunday.Cofield, with a smile: "Every weakness I think they've got, is going to be shared with my new teammates."
Giants defensive end Justin Tuck: "If he thinks we're dumb enough to not change them, he's crazy."
Then there's that "Taser dance" that Cofield does when he makes a sack, a shimmy that looks as if it belongs in an old Michael Jackson video. Cofield's not planning a more hyped-up version if he gets to Eli Manning.
Cofield: "It's already a hyped-up dance, I'm just hoping I'm able to bring it out."
Tuck: "I'm just going to try to make sure that I do his sack dance before he does."
Cofield took fond memories and friendships with him when he left the Giants for a big free agent payday, signing a 6-year, $36 million deal with $12.5 million guaranteed to come to Washington at the end of the NFL lockout. He stays in touch with his old teammates and can't wait to see them.
"After the game, I'll hug everybody," Cofield said. "Everybody on the roster gets a hug."
Cofield has already proven himself worthy of hugs many times over during his first month or so with the Redskins, if nothing else for simply being the anti-Albert Haynesworth. Haynesworth sulked over the idea of trying to play nose tackle in a 3-4 defense; Cofield has embraced it. Haynesworth became a pariah; Cofield is a natural leader.
"We needed a player like that, a player that's selfless," linebacker Brian Orakpo said, "that's going to come out there, use his big body to fill up those gaps for us and put pressure on the quarterback, push the pocket, everything that a good nose tackle in a 3-4 would do."
"You see it in Casey Hampton, you see it in all those other guys around the league. That's what they do, and Barry's doing that for us," Orakpo said.
Cofield is also doing a good job of debunking the notion that NFL players need all of those offseason minicamps and other workouts to learn a scheme and mesh with a new team. Teammates say he fit in seamlessly and picked up the new defense flawlessly in just a few weeks — even in the compressed timetable caused by the lockout.
That's because he's a top-notch student. Remember those awkward days at the start of training camp when the new free agents could attend practice but not take part because of the funky post-lockout rules? While the other non-participants stood and watched, Cofield pulled out a pen and was taking notes on his play sheet. During the long days of camp, Cofield said he put in an extra hour of study every night — examining film or the play book — so he could get up to scratch in a hurry.
"It's something I knew I had to have coming to a new defense, and being on such a truncated schedule, not having a whole offseason," Cofield said. "I knew it was something that I was going to have to focus on, learning the nuances of playing nose tackle, studying some Casey Hampton tape, guys like that who have been doing it. I feel like I'm ahead of schedule."
As of last week, Cofield said his comfort level was at 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. He's also had success lobbying defensive coordinator Jim Haslet to get some playing time on third down as part of the nickel package.
"I'm just another piece to the puzzle," Cofield said. "I know I can add that dimension. I'm not your prototypical nose tackle who's 340 pounds and just plays in a phone booth. I play sideline-to-sideline."
Cofield is listed at 306 pounds, small for his position. But he says that was his weight from the NFL Combine five years ago and it's never been updated.
"I'm a little bigger than a lot of people think I am," he said. "A gentlemen never reveals his weight."
Cofield realizes he'll be scrutinized to see if he's worth his contract. He gets to start from a low bar — the Redskins had the second worst defense in the league last year. Right now, though, it's time to figure out a way to best channel the adrenaline when he sees Tuck and friends on Sunday.
"It's a dream scenario," Cofield said. "So to go out there and play well on that stage, my first game as a Redskin, against my old team and all the significance, it'll be a great feeling."
Notes: TE Chris Cooley was limited in practice again Thursday with the ailing left knee that sidelined him throughout preseason. "He's making some strides," coach Mike Shanahan said. "Hopefully, he keeps on going and there's no setback." ... S LaRon Landry (hamstring) did not practice again Thursday. Landry has already said he doesn't expect to play Sunday, and Shanahan called him a "long shot."

The diagram below shows the key points to measure when calculating size, then simply select the correct size from the chart above. It's best to actually take body measurements rather than measuring over clothes. You shouldn't need to 'size up' or 'down' unless you have a particular fit preference of course.
Back to top
Keep your bra on and measure in inches around your ribcage directly under your bust.
This gives you the band or back size. When measuring, you should always round down! Your underband should be snug, e.g. If you achieve 29.5 ins then round down.
For example: your underband measurement is 29in then add 5 ins - you are a 34.
Now measure around the fullest part of your bust, the full bust measurement less underband = cup size. When measuring, you should always round up!
The over bust measurement should always be generous, e.g. If you achieve 34.5 ins then round up to 35 ins.
width - toes should have room to spread with no bulges at the shoes widest part.length - there should be half an inch (1.25cm) between the end of the shoe and the longest toe.
High leg boots that do not have any stretch material in them will not fit everyone. To find out whether boots will fit, use the calf measurement chart below.
In order to get the most precise measurement it's best to get someone to measure for you.

The Costs and Outcomes of Treating a Deep Pressure Ulcer in a Patient with Quadriplegia
- 2/1/2012
- 0 Comments
- 7216 reads
PDF version
Index: Ostomy Wound Manage. 2012;58(2):41–46.
The cost of pressure ulcers, especially Stage III and Stage IV ulcers, is substantial. A 27-year-old man with a 6-year history of quadriplegia developed an ischial pressure ulcer. Twelve months of treatment with wet-to-dry dressings were followed by admission to several facilities and 15 months of care with biological dressings and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). When admitted to the authors' wound care center, the wound measured 4.5 cm x 3.2 cm with exposed bone. A review of his insurance records showed that paid claims totaled $242,350, including $52,992 for NPWT rental costs. The patient was considered a good candidate for minimally invasive surgical intervention with external tissue expanders. Following a 14-day course of antibiotics to treat his infection, the wound was debrided and the tissue expanders applied. After 16 days, the wound was closed. The patient returned to work 6 weeks after the procedure. At the 23-month follow-up, the wound remained closed. Insurance payments for the care that resulted in wound closure totaled $43,814. This case study illustrates the potential of the external tissue expansion technique to close deep pressure ulcers within a relatively short amount of time at comparatively lower cost. Studies including control treatments are needed to confirm these conclusions.
Keywords: pressure ulcer, quadriplegia, ischial, external tissue expanders
Potential Conflicts of Interest: The authors acknowledge that they own stock in Progressive Surgical Products (Westbury, NY), the manufacturer of the external tissue expander.
Demographics indicate the population of persons 65 years and older is expected to increase to 55 million, and the population older than 85 years is expected to reach more than 6.6 million in 2020.1 Because the risk of developing chronic conditions increases with age, this demographic trend is expected to grow the demand for both human and financial resources in the healthcare system.
The elderly and patients with spinal cord injuries are at high risk for developing chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers. It is estimated that 1.3 to 3 million elderly adults develop a pressure ulcer each year,2 and approximately 60,000 people die each year from complications related to pressure ulcers,3 such as infections, loss of albumin, and anemia. Pressure ulceration is among the most common complications of spinal cord injury and can become a life-threatening complication when characterized by necrosis of the fascia, subcutaneous tissue, and muscle.4 The costs of pressure ulcers to the healthcare system is estimated to be $11 billion each year.5
Stage III and Stage IV are the most advanced types of pressure ulcer and the most costly to heal; healing takes twice as long as partial-thickness ulcers occurring in the same practice.6 It is important to close these wounds quickly to reduce healthcare cost and improve patient quality of life. These wounds can be treated using an assortment of methods, from dressings to negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) to complex surgical flap procedures.7 One option involves a minimally invasive surgical method to close pressure ulcers using external tissue expanders, ongoing wound care, and the judicious use of sutures to quickly close the wound and fill the wound cavity with subcutaneous padding. A clinical series8 on the use of external tissue expansion to close 650 dehisced, chronic, and traumatic wounds found that this method resulted in skin that can withstand the rigors of everyday life, and most wounds were closed in 7 to 14 days.

Golf Digest
34 -- HOW TO BECOME A TOUR CADDIE BY PGA TOUR CADDIES SCOTT GNEISER (DAVID TOMS), MIKE CARRICK (J.B. HOLMES, TOM KITE), JIM MACKAY (PHIL MICKELSON) "If there's one piece of advice we could give," says MacKay, "It's go to the Nationwide Tour and try to hook up with a young pro." Adds Gneiser, "It used to be that you could just hang out at the PGA Tour stops and pick up a bag if the player's usual caddie wasn't there. And who knows? You might end up staying out there once you got some experience. But not anymore. Today, everyone on tour brings out their friends and family to caddie for them. The only way you can get on a tour pro's bag is to hook up with them on the Nationwide Tour." Adds Carrick, "You also need experience. You need to know a lot of the little stuff before you even get to the pro level. It's not like the old days where you can learn as you go. You need to caddie for a lot of people with different personalities. You also need to learn how to read a yardage book and know the numbers your player wants before he even asks for it." Adds Mackay, "When I first started caddieing for Larry Mize, I didn't know anything. Not today. You have to be really good by the time you get to this level."
35 -- HOW TO PLAY GOLF WITH THE PRESIDENT BY DAN JENKINS It's easier to play golf with a President of the United States than it is with the great big important president of a great big important company that makes things nobody needs. I know this from experience, having played golf with both.
You can joke with the President of the United States, especially if his name is George Herbert Walker Bush, Old 41. Well, up to a point. But you can't joke at all with the great big important president of a great big important company that makes things nobody needs. Make a joke with that guy, who is usually overclubbed and badly dressed, and he'll call in your bank notes, have your children kidnapped, and set fire to your house.
Still, you need to be cautious when playing golf with a President of the United States. Here are five things it's best not to say:
36 -- HOW TO WIN YOUR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP BY GWEN FISHER Gwen Fisher has won the women's club championship at Fenway Country Club in New York's Westchester County 25 of the past 26 years. The year she didn't win, she didn't play because of the birth of one of her two children.
I have an advantage over a lot of my competition because I've been playing competitively since I was 9. I grew up playing at a club in Michigan that had a great junior program. We started playing competitively right away, and not that many girls were really interested in golf. So I enjoy playing in matches. If I'm in a close match and need to be tough, I can usually get going and somehow pull it out.
I'm not outwardly competitive, but inwardly I tend to think I can do my best when a match gets tight. I don't want to kill the person the minute I go up on her, but when it gets close I'm able to pull it out. Some people play mind games and try to psych you out or get in your head, but I don't do that. A lot of opponents try to rattle me. They'll make me putt out when it's an obvious gimme to try to take me out of my game. I prepare myself mentally that those things are going to happen, so it doesn't bother me. I'm pretty generous when giving putts. I'd rather focus on what I'm trying to do as opposed to trying to get into an opponent's head.

Hi there, here are some driving electronic stuff that might fit your needs!! I wrote the first two with exactly that in mind. Hope it can help! Chan
Thanks for all the feedback guys! I'd love to hear more if others want to contribute.

When creating a mix for television I always do my normal stereo mix and then I check for mono compatibility. I have an analogue Mackie 8-Bus mixer with a handy mono button on the monitor section. I check the mix and listen to it outside of the room – I do this because the mix will sound fresh to my ears.
What's your take on panning, do you always go hard left or right, or do you sometimes use more subtle pans?
Hi guys, since most of this music we create is used in the production world (tv, podcasts, videos) I was wondering if affected your use or opinion on panning certain instruments in the mix. Some say only pan instruments hard left, center or right to clean up and widen the mix, while other's feel that just panning certain instruments slight left or right still opens up the mix in a more natural way. Do you guys have a standard practice or does it depend on each track? Do you guys always check your mix in mono?

The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.
While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.
On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..
When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?
But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).
Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.
Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).
But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore.
"It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, Vancouver

Tariq Ali (Punjabi, Urdu: طارق علی; born 21 October 1943) is a British Pakistani writer, journalist, and filmmaker.[1][2] He is a member of the editorial committee of the New Left Review and Sin Permiso, and regularly contributes to The Guardian, CounterPunch, and the London Review of Books.
He is the author of several books, including Pakistan: Military Rule or People's Power (1970), Can Pakistan Survive? The Death of a State (1991), Pirates Of The Caribbean: Axis Of Hope (2006), Conversations with Edward Said (2005), Bush in Babylon (2003), and Clash of Fundamentalisms: Crusades, Jihads and Modernity (2002), A Banker for All Seasons (2007), The Duel (2008) and his most recent book, The Obama Syndrome (2010).[3]
Early life[edit]
Ali was born and raised in Lahore.[4][5] The city was part of British India at the time of his birth in 1943, but became part of the newly independent nation of Pakistan four years later. He is the son of journalist Mazhar Ali Khan and activist mother Tahira Mazhar Ali Khan, who is the daughter of Sir Sikandar Hyat Khan, who led the Unionist Muslim League and was later Prime Minister of the Punjab from 1937–1942.[6]
Ali's parents "both came from a very old, crusty, feudal family".[7] His father had broken with the family's conventions in politics when he was a student, adopting communism and atheism. Ali's mother also belonged to the same family, and became a communist and an atheist upon meeting his father. However, Ali was taught the fundamentals of Islam in order to be able to argue against it.[7] He stated in Islam, Empire, and the Left: Conversation with Tariq Ali: "I grew up an atheist. I make no secret of it. It was acceptable. In fact, when I think back, none of my friends were believers. None of them were religious; maybe a few were believers. But very few were religious in temperament."[8]
Emerging activism[edit]
Ali first became politically active in his teens, taking part in opposition to the military dictatorship of Pakistan. An uncle who worked in the Pakistani military intelligence warned his parents that Ali could not be protected.[4] His parents therefore decided to get him out of Pakistan, and sent him to England to study at Exeter College, Oxford, where he studied Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.[4][9] He was elected President of the Oxford Union in 1965. Ali's tenure at the Union included a meeting with Malcolm X in December 1964 during which Malcolm X expressed deep consternation about his own risk of assassination.[10]
His public profile began to grow during the Vietnam War, when he engaged in debates against the war with such figures as Henry Kissinger and Michael Stewart. He testified at the Russell Tribunal over US involvement in Vietnam. As time passed, Ali became increasingly critical of American and Israeli foreign policies. He is also well known for his satirical work. He was also a vigorous opponent of American relations with Pakistan that tended to back military dictatorships over democracy. He was one of the marchers on the American embassy in London in 1968 in a demonstration against the Vietnam war.[11]
Active in the New Left of the 1960s, he has long been associated with the New Left Review. Ali inserted himself into politics through his involvement with The Black Dwarf newspaper, he joined the International Marxist Group (IMG) in 1968. He was recruited to the leadership of the IMG and became a member of the International Executive Committee of the (reunified) Fourth International. He also befriended influential figures such as Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, John Lennon and Yoko Ono.[12]
In 1967 Ali was in Camiri, Bolivia, not far from where Che Guevara was captured, to observe the trial of Régis Debray. He was accused of being a Cuban revolutionary by authorities. Ali then said: "If you torture me the whole night and I can speak Spanish in the morning I'll be grateful to you for the rest of my life."[13]
During this period he was an IMG candidate in Sheffield Attercliffe at the February 1974 UK general election and was co-author of Trotsky for Beginners, a cartoon book. In 1981, the IMG dissolved when its members entered the Labour Party: the IMG was promptly proscribed. Ali then abandoned activism in the revolutionary left and supported Tony Benn in his bid to become deputy leader of the Labour Party that year.
In 1990, he published the satire Redemption, on the inability of the Trotskyists to handle the downfall of the Eastern bloc. The book contains parodies of many well-known figures in the Trotskyist movement. In 1999 Ali strongly criticized U.S. and British interventions in the Balkans in the piece Spingtime for NATO.[14]
His book Bush in Babylon criticizes the 2003 invasion of Iraq by American president George W. Bush. This book has a unique style, using poetry and critical essays in portraying the war in Iraq as a failure. Ali believes that the new Iraqi government will fail.
His previous book, Clash of Fundamentalisms, puts the events of the September 11 attacks in historical perspective, covering the history of Islam from its foundations.
Ali has remained a critic of modern neoliberal economics and was present at the 2005 World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil, where he was one of 19 to sign the Porto Alegre Manifesto. He is a fan of the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela.[15]
He has been described as "the alleged inspiration" for the Rolling Stones' song "Street Fighting Man", recorded in 1968.[16] John Lennon's "Power to the People" was inspired by an interview Lennon gave to Ali.[17]
In an article published in CounterPunch, he responded to the Pope Benedict XVI Islam controversy and said: "The Bavarian is a razor-sharp reactionary cleric. I think he knew what he was saying and why. In a neo-liberal world suffering from environmental degradation, poverty, hunger, repression, a 'planet of slums' (in the graphic phrase of Mike Davis), the Pope chooses to insult the founder of a rival faith. The reaction in the Muslim world was predictable, but depressingly insufficient."[18]
Ali has also written in favor of Scottish independence.[19]
Tariq Ali's The Leopard and The Fox, first written as a BBC screenplay in 1985, is about the last days of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. Never previously produced because of a censorship controversy, it was finally premiered in New York in October 2007, the day before former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto returned to her home country after eight years in exile.[20]
In 2009, Ali, alongside Mark Weisbrot wrote the screenplay to the Oliver Stone documentary South of the Border.[21] This gave a favourable account of Hugo Chávez and other left-wing Latin American leaders. Interviewed in the documentary, Ali explained the role that the Bolivian water privatization played in eventually bringing Evo Morales to power.
Personal life[edit]
He currently lives in Highgate, London with his wife Susan Watkins, editor of the New Left Review. He has three children: Natasha, Chengiz, and Aisha.

Jonah Sonz Matranga (born Jonah Rzadzinski Matranga in Brookline, MA) is a singer/songwriter best known for fronting the band Far and recording solo under the name Onelinedrawing. Matranga left Massachusetts in 1987 to attend Pitzer College in California. After graduating, he moved to Sacramento and formed Far in 1991. The band cut four albums before disbanding in December 1998, after which Matranga began to play solo under the name Onelinedrawing, which had been the name of a cassette he had released via Kevin Seconds' Pop Rockit label. He had released two EPs that year titled Sketchy EP #1 and Sketchy EP #2. Most of Matranga's material has been self-released, though often distributed through labels such as Crank! His two Onelinedrawing LPs, Visitor (2002) and The Volunteers (2004), were released by Jade Tree. Matranga let go of the Onelinedrawing moniker in 2004, releasing subsequent solo efforts under his own name. In December 2004, he began offering custom-made recordings through his website. In addition to Far and the short-lived New End Original, another band project, Gratitude, released a record in March 2005, but was quickly abandoned. In 2005, Matranga put out Sketchy EP #3, as well as a DVD titled There's a Lot in Here, which was re-released with a bonus CD in February 2006 through Equal Vision. ~ Kenyon Hopkin

Have you noticed how difficult it is to forgive your enemies? And it's even harder when they happen to be your parents. You know, when we're kids, our needs and feelings are so intense that the wounds and the injuries suffered during those early years often stay with us for a lifetime. And the pain is immeasurably worse when the one who wronged us was a parent.

Reference | EN 61954:2011/A1:2013 |
Title | Static VAR compensators (SVC) - Testing of thyristor valves |
Project Number | 24032 |
Abstract/Scope | IEC 61954:2011 defines type, production and optional tests on thyristor valves used in thyristor controlled reactors (TCR), thyristor switched reactors (TSR) and thyristor switched capacitors (TSC) forming part of static VAR compensators (SVC) for power system applications. The requirements of the standard apply both to single valve units (one phase) and to multiple valve units (several phases). This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) Definitions of terms 'thyristor level', 'valve section', 'valve base electronics' and 'redundant thyristor levels' have been changed for clarification; b) Conditions of testing thyristor valve sections instead of a complete thyristor valve have been defined; c) The requirement has been added that if, following a type test, one thyristor level has become short-circuited, then the failed level shall be restored and this type test repeated; d) The time period of increasing the initial test voltage from 50 % to 100 % during type a.c. dielectric tests on TSC, TCR or TSR valves has been set equal to approximately 10 s; e) The duration of test voltage Uts2 during type a.c.-d.c. dielectric tests between TSC valve terminals and earth as well as the duration of test voltage Utvv2 during dielectric tests between TSC valves (for MVU only) has been changed from 30 min to 3 h; f) The reference on the number of pulses per minute of the periodic partial discharge recorded during a.c.-d.c. dielectric tests on TSC valves and exceeding the permissible level has been deleted. |

Retired miners worry about their pensionsBALDWIN, Ill. - A major player in the coal industry has filed for bankruptcy. Now, miners in our area are worried that money promised to them by the government will be cut. Protesters held a rally on Monday at the Thomas Eagleton Federal Building in St. Louis. About 2,000 people came to show support for miners, both retired and working, that may be out money because Patriot Coal Corporation has filed bankruptcy. The former parent company of Patriot is a spinoff from the Peabody Energy Corporation, and they have mines all across Southern Illinois. Through pictures and memories Bill Piller remembered his first day on the job. "Well, I'd never been under ground in a coal mine," said Piller. The first time stuck and he went on to work in the mines of Southern Illinois for 21 years. "February the 6th 1972 to December 23rd of 1993," said Piller. His cancer stopped him from working, but his pictures are daily reminders of the sacrifices he made to provide for his family. Piller has a photo commemorating the day the mines were handed over to the government. It is the day his retirement was secured. He was promised healthcare. "From crib to grave," said Piller. But he, like many retired miners, says he feels lied to by an industry that became his life's work. "Devastation. In one word to describe it, it's devastation," said Piller. |

ScoutBase 2010 marks anniversary year
Over 10,000 Scouts, Scoutmasters and guests from across the Mid-South converge on Tunica and the Paul Battle Arena this weekend for ScoutBase, a jamboree-style event that has evolved into America's second largest Scout gathering.
For over 95 percent of the Scouts in attendance, ScoutBase, sponsored by the Chickasaw Council of Memphis, is the largest Scouting event they will ever attend.
The bi-annual gathering had a long run at Millington Naval Air Station in Shelby County, TN before moving its base to Tunica County in 2006.
Next phase of development lies with study
On Oct. 5, supervisors gave the official nod to a project designed to help envision new and different ways to improve the local economy.
Board attorney Andy Dulaney said the Tourism Commission had solicited and received proposals for a market analysis. They had received three proposals and ultimately selected PricewaterhouseCoopers to conduct the study.
Dulaney noted that PwC had also conducted a market analysis of Tunica County in 1999. The study and expenses will cost $110,000, with the gaming industry putting up $50,000.
TA bustling with activities this fall
The 2010/2011 school year is in full swing at Tunica Academy.
On the academic front, Principal Ed Beach says that teachers and students are spending more time and putting more emphasis on math this year in an effort to increase student performance. As for athletics, he says that the work continues on the baseball/softball complex and that everyone has been enjoying the new football press box, compliments of the Crawfish Crew. As the holiday season quickly approaches, the calendar is filling up with exciting athletic, fundraising and social events.

Portable Air Conditioner Buying Tips
Portable air conditioners provide efficient cooling for smaller areas, and some of today's more energy-efficient models can even handle larger spaces with ease. The key to purchasing the right portable air conditioner is to correctly determine how much cooling you need. Many consumers make the mistake of assuming that more power is always better, but this isn't always the case.
The Importance of BTUs
If you purchase a portable air conditioner with a higher BTU rating than needed, the unit will cycle off too quickly and not properly remove humidity from the air. Moreover, a portable AC with an insufficient number of BTUs will not adequately cool a room. That's why experts often advise consumers to pay close attention to a room's floor plan in order to figure out how many BTUs the space requires.
How to Size a Portable Air Conditioner
Calculating a portable AC unit's BTU requirements is simple. First determine the room's square footage by multiplying its length by width, then look to the chart below to get a general idea of how many BTUs you need. We've also included some portable air conditioner recommendations based on room size to make your purchasing decision easier:
Portable Air Conditioner Sizing Chart | ||
Square Footage | Required BTUs | Recommended Models |
100 - 200 | 7,000 - 10,000 | |
150 - 250 | 8,000 - 11,000 | |
250 - 350 | 9,000 - 12,000 | |
350 - 450 | 12,000 -16,000 |
Please note that the numbers listed in the above portable AC chart are estimates based on typical room conditions in a moderate climate. Certain exceptions may apply, and if any of these are applicable to you, increase or decrease your BTU requirements as needed:
Second Story Homes and Very Sunny Areas: Add BTU amount by 10% | |
Shaded Areas: Reduce BTU amount by 10% | |
Each Additional Person Over 2 Persons in a Room: Add 600 BTUs | |
Kitchens: Add 4,000 BTUs |
For more details on sizing a portable air conditioner, see our portable air conditioner sizing guide or take a look at our portable air conditioner buying guide for more product recommendations, comparison charts, and other portable AC information.

Hi everybody!
I try to creat dynamic block of Tectus hinges. Bassicaly I would like create multiple visibility block:
first grip - type of hinge (TE240, TE 340....)
second grib - type of view: elevation, side and plan.
For plan view I would like create third grip with options: close, open 90 deg, open 180 deg.
In attached file I'm started working on this. For now I focus on first two type of hinges TS240 and TS340. I'm close to realize my gola but still something doesn't work correct. If you play with grips sometimes block dissapear on show as custom view. I assume I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas?
Unless there's a compelling reason to have all your hinges and views in one block I would seriously consider if this is the best way forward.
With this approach any drawing containing multiple instances will quickly swell in size, as AutoCAD stores all the anonymous block definitions, and although the majority of the drawing entities will be invisible they will still all be examined by AutoCAD during a regen which could adversely effect drawing responsiveness. And, as you have already discovered juggling so many visibility states is going to be quite difficult.
If all your hinges are of similar construction but vary in size I would suggest using a combination of geometric constraints, parameters and actions to resize the hinges as required, a visibility parameter can then simply be used to control the view.
I know all of the above doesn't solve your disappearing block issue and is just my humble opinion on how to do it but I hope is helpful none the less.
