The good: The Velocity Micro Cruz T410 has capable tablet hardware at a great price.
The bad: The design is bulky, the dim screen has some bad viewing angles, and the T410 doesn't have Google Mobile apps or Android Market.
The bottom line: The Velocity Micro Cruz T410 exists in an awkward space between full-fledged Android tablets and the walled garden of the Kindle Fire. What freedom it affords is spoiled by a poor screen and uninspired design.

Lukewarm software, room temp support and cold service.

Pros: Great price, large screen.
Cons: Buggy software and firmware. Doomed to eventually stop working with little-to-no (and even negative) tech support.

Summary: [Velocity makes PC's, tablets and many other products. I've had issues, to say the least. All I want from them is acknowledgement and reparation. This is the final letter I posted to Velocity Micro. By this time, I had dealt with them for a week. I was discarded and treated with disinterest and disrespect. I was beyond angry.]
This is now my problem, and if I am not treated with the dignity I deserve as a human being and respectfully responded to, you will find this letter on every tech-site and forum on the internet. Once it hits the internet, it cannot be undone.
I didn't know I was difficult to shop for until my wife proved me so. For our anniversary she displayed utter pride in finding the perfect gift - something I've wanted for a while but could never find the right one: a tablet. She found in the Velocity® Cruz T410 familiarity through the Android, easy to read through the 10" screen, and affordability in the low price. It seemed every bell and whistle was tailored to my needs in a tablet and, to top it all off, the representative informed her it was the best available and a very hot-selling item. Often it takes a week to grow complaisant to something new - this tablet took me a week to completely hate, from the item to the company and its employees.
My problems started within a week with the discovery that my icons were disappearing. I found that internet bookmarks and some apps refused to stay on the home-screens or subsequent windows. Shortly after this discovery, my tablet refused to connect to any wireless. I attempted to reach Velocity® to no avail. Velocity's® phone system would place me in queue for approximately half-an-hour and then send me to voicemail - I left a message (to which, to this day, I never received a reply). The following day, I asked Radio Shack® tech support for help (Radio Shack® was phenomenally useful to the best of their ability and have even taken some action to help make things better, but this will become clear later). I explained my shortcut and wireless issues to the RS tech and we worked together for about an hour-and-a-half attempting to resolve the problem. In the end, I was referred to a firmware update (which we walked-through together) which fixed my wireless problem, but not my shortcut problem. There was nothing we could do about the shortcuts. I told her I would try Velocity® again.
The following day, I discovered that my tablet would no longer mount to my PC. In an attempt to troubleshoot, I tested it on my laptop with the same result: would not mount (aka "Turn on USB storage"). My first call was to Radio Shack® tech support. Together we worked for another hour resulting in a complete loss as to what to do about the matter. The rep, then, connected me with Velocity®. Finally in touch with Velocity®, I explained my entire story and the V rep determined that the tablet should be replaced. After another week of waiting for a response from Velocity® on the process to replace the tablet, I am informed that they do not carry new tablets and only supply refurbished ones. Remember: this tablet is only two weeks old by this time, with one of those weeks completely out of service. I had yet to address two additional problems of lock-ups and the action bar flashing in and out of existence.
Again (as I thought these were due to the firmware update), I called Radio Shack® to explain my frustration with this product and Velocity® and, in an utter display of divine patience, they searched neighboring stores for a brand new replacement (and had one within an hour). However, a fear still lingered: the problems I had were inherent in the software and firmware and may be present in the new tablet. With these tablets now in short supply, what do I do if this one is just as defective? I called Velocity® to explain my fears and what could be done about such defects. Miraculously, a tech-rep answered within a few minutes and he explained to me that they do in fact have new tablets but reserve them for repeat issues. If Radio Shack's® new tablet has problems, I may receive one of their new tablets with the new operating software called Ice Cream Sandwich. I felt comfortable with that guarantee as I felt that new operating software should solve the issue should this new one be defective as well.
Now skeptical of Velocity®, the first thing I do is test the shortcut issue. It was present in this tablet as well. The action bar flashed in and out of existence and it locked-up. My new fear is that it will soon refuse to connect to wireless and I will be down that familiar path again. I called Velocity® (and by another miracle they answered in about twenty-five minutes), and explained the (now extended) story to the rep. He grabbed his own Velocity® Cruz T410 and saved a bookmark on the home screen. After a restart, his was gone as well (keep in mind that this is also apparent in some app shortcuts and not only internet bookmarks, but saving a bookmark is indigenous and cannot be blamed on third-party software). Confused, he put me on hold and I gained some hope in that the problem was now completely clear to a tech rep on three identical tablets. When he returned, the real problem became apparent.
"I'm sorry, but I'm being told that this is not a feature available on this tablet."
Befuddled, I was almost at a loss for words, "What do you mean 'feature?' The ability to add shortcuts to one of several home screens is the very heart of Android!"
"I don't know what to tell you. I have nothing. I can't... I don't know what I can do."
"What about a new tablet with the Ice Cream Sandwich operating system?"
"That OS is not available on the T410."
"Can I be put on a list so I can receive one when it becomes available?"
"You can go to our website and sign up for our newsletter or call back in a couple of weeks. That's all I got."
"Can I speak to someone in programming so I can make this a known issue?"
"I can't do anything more, I'm sorry?"
Ready to take out my anger by flinging my phone like a rock, I hung up. My wife felt horrible believing that she'd done something wrong. Her pride was crushed and she could do nothing but apologize. I tried profusely to explain to her that I love her, this was not her fault, I appreciate her, and that I would fix it somehow. I don't think she believes any of that right now except that I love her very much.
I called Velocity® once again - this time to speak with the business office. I explained this epic problem to which he responded, "Where did you buy the tablet?"
"Radio Shack®."
"Take it back."
"I did. This is the replacement."
"Take it back and get your money back."
That was the extent of the conversation - measured in seconds.
I do not know where to go from here. It has become clearly apparent to me that this hot-selling item comes with lukewarm software, room temperature tech support and chillingly cold customer service. Maybe this will get their attention and fix the issue.

Summary: Got as a christmas present. Being a "techie" and owning a DROID2 phone i figured i could jump right in on this tablet. 2 HUGE downsides i picked up on off the bat were no hdmi output and no android market app. Maybe not such a big deal to others but for me that was it. Trading it in for a motorola or samsung at first oppurtunity.
I was pleasantly surprised.
by Burly636 on December 20, 2011
Pros: I wanted a cheaper tablet to keep in my nightstand to read, I did not want to carry my IPad 2 back and forth. Pros I like are, Adobe flash, kindle, and the sd micro card slot. It is not a cllosed system. I am happy with the price of $199.
Cons: The picture is ok for my needs, I watch movies, but also watch on my latrger iPad. I do not like the email app, it has no search on it and I can not seem to get my you tube app linked to my channel. I go to the sites directly to avoid those apps
Summary: I am still discovering things about it. But I believe it is a good tablet.

Feasibility, Effectiveness, and Cost of Models of Integrating Counseling and Testing for HIV Within Family Planning Services in Kenya
Council researchers tested two models of integrating family planning and HIV counseling and testing (C&T) services in Kenya.
The Kenyan government is emphasizing knowledge of one's own HIV status as a major strategy in its fight against HIV and AIDS. In support of that strategy, FRONTIERS worked with the Division of Reproductive Health of the Ministry of Health and the National AIDS Control Program to test two models of integrating family planning and HIV counseling and testing (C&T) services. In the "testing" model, family planning providers were trained to offer C&T services and post-test counseling during the same visit, while in the "referral" model, family planning clients wanting C&T services were referred to a specialized C&T facility.
Providers were trained to routinely use the Balanced Counseling Strategy Plus (BCS+) toolkit, which is an adaptation for high-HIV-prevalence settings of the Population Council's BCS tool for improving the quality of family planning counseling. Integrating STI/HIV counseling and offering C&T within family planning services was feasible and acceptable to clients and providers. Overall quality of care improved significantly in both models, especially in the referral-model clinics. The increased quality may have been due to greater use of the BCS+ tool by providers at the referral clinics (75%) versus those at the testing clinics (41%). HIV C&T increased significantly during family planning consultations. The proportion of providers discussing C&T increased significantly between baseline and endline (from 39% to 88%). A significantly greater proportion of providers offered an HIV test following the intervention (from 1% at baseline to 39% for repeat clients and 48% for new clients).
Based on these findings, the MOH adopted and recommended expanding both models of the integration strategy nationwide. Training of provincial-level trainers in all eight provinces of Kenya began in September 2007 with support from FRONTIERS, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and USAID through its bilateral APHIA II partners. Over 150 providers have received training, which is ongoing.

With just two days until their first preseason game, the Broncos took to the practice fields at Dove Valley in full pads once again. Below is a recap of the session.
Today's trivia question is further explained in the "Quick Hits" portion of this blog, but it boils down to this: The offense was given a scenario to execute — down two points with 18 seconds remaining, the ball on its own 45-yard line and one timeout remaining. Quarterback Peyton Manning quickly hit his target for a 15-yard gain to the defense's 40-yard line and called a timeout with seven seconds remaining. Who caught the pass? Leave your guesses in the comments section, and the answer — and winner of a Broncos prize pack — will be revealed in the comments section of the blog at 6 p.m. MDT.
Safety Jim Leonhard, safety Quinton Carter, tackle Ryan Harris, defensive tackle Justin Bannan, wide receiver Greg Orton and wide receiver Tyler Grisham did not practice on Tuesday. Defensive tackle Ty Warren left practice early due to "stomach issues," Head Coach John Fox said.
Linebacker Keith Brooking was on the field in a No. 57 jersey, shorts and shells. He took part in some of the early drills during practice, including individual drills with the linebackers and a handful of reps during 7-on-7s.
- During one-on-ones between receivers and cornerbacks, Champ Bailey kicked off the drill by breaking up a touchdown pass from Peyton Manning to Eric Decker.
- On the next play, Manning threw an incomplete pass in Matthew Willis' direction with Tracy Porter in tight coverage. After the play, Manning yelled "Gotta run to the pylon!" while Secondary Coach Ron Milus praised his cornerback: "That's good coverage, 22!"
- Gerell Robinson started off a strong practice with a leaping touchdown grab over cornerback Ramzee Robinson. Later in one-on-ones, he had another leaping TD, this time from Caleb Hanie over the head of cornerback Tony Carter.
- The Manning-to-Decker combination was successful later in one-on-ones, as the wide receiver hauled in a one-handed touchdown catch just behind Bailey, who was right there in coverage.
- There were two notable pass breakups during the drill. The first was made by Carter, who slapped the ball away from Mark Dell. Second was safety Rahim Moore, who broke up a pass from Manning intended for tight end Joel Dreessen. The crowd responded to the play, as one fan shouted, "Atta boy, Rahim!"
- During red-zone drills, the defense made some key plays as well. First, Porter prevented a touchdown catch by Demaryius Thomas, then a group of Broncos — led by safety Mike Adams — forced an incompletion in the back of the end zone on a pass intended for tight end Jacob Tamme. Later, wide receiver Cameron Kenney, cornerback Joshua Moore and safety Anthony Perkins all took turns tipping a pass around in the air, and Perkins nearly came away with a diving interception in the back of the end zone before the ball fell incomplete.
- Both the offense and defense had a lot of exciting plays during a variety of two-minute drills throughout practice. For more on those sessions, check out the "Situational Football" blog.
- A group of rookies were among the first players out onto the field on Tuesday — Derek Wolfe, Ronnie Hillman, Osweiler, Malik Jackson and Jamie Blatnick got to work early.
- Practice ended with one more situation for the offense to try to overcome: down 24-22 at its own 45-yard line with 18 seconds left on the clock and one timeout remaining. Manning hit (today's trivia answer) for a 15-yard gain to the defense's 40, and called a timeout with seven seconds remaining. His next pass was incomplete, but one second remained on the clock. Coaches called practice before Matt Prater would've run onto the field to attempt the long field goal.
The team is back on the field this evening for a walkthrough open only to media. Wednesday morning brings another practice free and open to the public, which starts at 8:50 a.m. MDT. Gates open at 7:50 a.m. It will be approximately a half-hour shorter than typical morning practices — it is scheduled to end at 11 a.m. MDT — as the team travels to Chicago that afternoon.

Political opponents are resorting to an age-old maneuver — objecting to petitions — to try to force candidates off the ballot on the Sept. 13 state primary and the Nov. 6 general election.
In New York, candidates must submit petitions with a certain number of signatures to run on a party's line in a primary or in the general. The objections — which haven't yet been specified — are an attempt to discredit those petitions.
The objections must be fleshed out in filings to the BOE today.
So far, the following objections have been made:
Joe Chilelli, the Democratic candidate for Assembly District 118, objected to Assemblyman Marc Butler's attempt to get on the Conservative and Independence party lines.
And in Assembly District 115, Russ Finley, the campaign manager for Republican Karen Bisso, filed objections to two of her opponents: Timothy Carpenter, a Democrat, and Assemblywoman Janet Duprey's Republican and Independence Party petitions.
Meanwhile, David Kimmel, a potential Sept. 13 primary opponent to Mrs. Bisso, filed objections to Mrs. Bisso's Republican and Conservative petitions and Ms. Duprey's Republican petitions.
Both of the aforementioned Assembly districts stretch into parts of St. Lawrence County.
Mr. Kimmel says that he won't file specifications for his objections.
Mr. Finley, though, said that he was preparing to send his specific objections for consideration on Monday.

Luxury brands are gasping for air. Automotive doesn't seem to know where its next metaphorical meal is from. And the fabled Year of Mobile has not yet dawned. Yet despite it all, Jaguar and Land Rover have together committed $1.6 million to US mobile advertising.
That's a big, big buy. And it represents only 60 percent of the automakers' total mobile budget.
Mobile ad network AdMob will be running the campaigns, once they stop jumping for joy at company HQ. Earlier this month, the company got a C round cash infusion of $12.5 million.
As an article in Ad Age points out, this level of commitment to the mobile platform borders on the unprecedented. Mobile is still very much in the sandbox of digital spending, accounting for only a small proportion of experimental marketing budgets -- and who's experimenting with money these day?

It's not all doom and gloom when it comes to ad spend forecasts. The Kelsey Group is bullish on local mobile advertising over the next five years.
OK, so we've all heard this year will be "the year of mobile" for seemingly as long as "next year in Jerusalem" has been intoned at Passover seders. Nevertheless, Going Mobile: The Mobile Local Media Opportunity makes some interesting predictions.
US mobile ad revenues are predicted to grow from $160 million last year to $3.1 billion in 2013, a compound annual growth rate of 81.2 percent.
Kelsey splits ad spend into three distinct categories: display, search and SMS messaging. Last year, $21 million was spent on display; $39 million on search, and $100 million on SMS.
By 2013, search will reign supreme, according to the report, accounting for $2.3 billion in spending. Mobile display ads will account for $567 million, with SMS advertising accounting for $270 million in spending.
Other interesting findings include these tidbits:

Mobile users are quick to discard iPhone apps, with just 30% of buyers using them the day after buying and downloading them from Apple's App Store, according to a new survey.
The drop-off rate is even higher for free apps, with just around 20% using them the day after download, and less then 5% 30 days later, with games apps the most durable category.

These two words are very similar and in most cases can be used interchangeably. The differences are very subtle and depend on whether you are using the words as verbs or nouns. In general, you want to use "influence" when you are trying to change the behavior of a person or system. You will use "impact" when you are speaking about results. Here are some examples:
I would like to influence the members of the board to vote in my favor.
The impact of my lobbying was apparent in the vote.
How can we influence what is said?
What is the impact of that statement?

Cybersecurity firm Trustware says that more than 2 MILLION Facebook,Twitter,Gmail,Yahoo! accounts have been compromised in a malicious cyber attack.
To prevent your password from being vulnerable, I highly recommend that you change your accounts' passwords tonight!
Here are some simple tips for creating a STRONG password:
1. The more complicated, the better off you are.
HINT: use a number of symbols, numbers and letters while drafting your new passwords.
2. The longer the password, the safer it is.
HINT: keep your password at a minimum of 6-8 characters. Sites usually require this before creating new accounts.
3. Consider phrases, instead of one-word passwords with numbers
4. Use multiple passwords for your accounts.
HINT: it may seem like a lot of record keeping, but it's worth it to not have your information compromised.

If my memory servers me correctly, I think there is a 2% difference in densities. And 2% adds up quickly on the large systems we design.

Is there a published workflow for doing that?
Is your content center on a vault server or do you use desktop content?
If you don't already have a custom writeable CC library, then you need to create one. You have to do this from the vault server ADMS console. Once you are logged in to that, you can right-click on the libraries and create a new one.
If you already have a custom writeable CC library, then you are good to go.
Next, you have to make sure that this library (new or not) is available in your project file. In Inventor, go to the projects editor, select your project file, then click on the Configure Content Center Libraries in the bottom right corner (just above the Done button). This will pull up a list of available CC libraries. Make sure the writeable custom library is checked.
Once your writeable library is available, then go to Manage tab > Content Center panel > Content Center Editor. This will launch the editor window that looks similar to the place from CC window. This is where what Blair said comes in. Find the fitting that is closest to what you need. In your case, that's probably the ASME 16.9 butt-welded fittings, since they are the only ANSI butt-welded option. Right-click the part family and choose Copy To > [whatever you named your custom library]. This will copy the entire part family with its family table and folder structure into your library. You can then edit it to your heart's content.
In this case, you will want to edit the family table and change the material, the wall thicknesses, change the schedule designation if you want it to show the "S", filename, part number, description, and anything else I forgot.

Dan Geer Helping CIA, Enjoying 'Gee-Whiz' Moments
Security luminary Dan Geer talks with CSO about all the fun he's having as the new CISO of In-Q-Tel, the investment arm of the U.S. intelligence community. He also revisits the Microsoft monoculture debate that lead to his firing from @Stake five years ago.
By Bill Brenner
August 04, 2008 — CSO — It's been five years since security pioneer Dan Geer was fired from @Stake for co-writing a paper warning that a Microsoft monoculture threatened national security.
The firing actually helped cement Geer's status as a security luminary and has led to a wealth of opportunities, including a stint as president and chief scientist at Verdasys Inc. and his latest role as CISO for In-Q-Tel, the investment arm of the U.S. intelligence community - particularly the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Geer - a member of the Athena Project at MIT during the creation of the widely-used Kerberos authentication protocol - recently sat down with CSO to discusses the "gee-whiz" moments he now enjoys as he gets a peek at some of the latest intelligence technology.
He also explains the goal behind his recently-released book, "The Economics and Strategies of Data Security," and revisits the monoculture debate, which he believes played a role in security improvements at Microsoft.
CSO: Last time we spoke, you were at Verdasys. Why the move to In-Q-Tel?
Dan Geer: The role I have is new, partly the classic job of CISO, and they have information that needs to be handled properly. Information security and digital identity management are important for this company and I was hired to help with that. I'm obviously on the technical side. So far, the gee-whiz fascination value is pretty high. I'm finding that the elements that are not my specialties are the most fascinating part of the job.
Such as?
A ground cover that changes color when its roots touch land mine residue, so you can plant it and find land mines without having to use your water buffalo; what looks like a sheet of paper which is actually lit up, three times the efficiency of LEDs (light-emitting diode, a semiconductor diode that emits light when an electrical current is applied in the forward direction of the device) which is paper-thin and can be cut with a scissors; and the ability to extract power from the room you are in. Powering things without a power cord is of huge interest to commercial and intelligence entities.
I've also found that the nanotechnology world is full of fascinating things, and I've also seen a hand-held spectrometer that lets you tell what material you're looking at—a tool that came out of carpet recycling, of all things. In the carpet recycling business it's evidently a bad idea to melt down your polypropylene with your nylon. As obvious as that sounds, I had no idea. The spectrometer was invented so the recycling people could sort the shreds into the proper piles.

I am about ready to take a pass on the entire Bush family. Going on NBC is a big factor. GW is becomming like a dog that licks his master´s hand even though the master has spent the entire dog´s life beating him.Add to that, putting his library at SMU, the most overrated college in America, even after practically the entire faculty signed petitions against it being placed there demonstrating their utter hatred of Bush. He could have put it at Baylor where they would have rolled out the red carpet for him but no, put it at the snotass SMU.He still licks the hand. Slow learner.

Poster 3 is right. We live a few miles from SMU and most people laughed it off as a bunch of old hippies trying to recreated their glory days. SMU is a great place in a beautiful and conservative part of Dallas (University/Highland Park). Plus the Bushes do not live that far from it and it is not all that bad a university.

I didn´t watch the video but I read some of the conversation. It is evident this family just loves each other and that they have a great sense of humor. They laugh at themselves and tease each other and it´s all very easy and fun. I´m happy for them. Click Here if you Like this Comment
We have family roots in the SMU area. Yes, unfortunately, more than a few liberals at this university now. In Laura Bush´s day, SMU was where young ladies like my aunt went to find good husbands. Everybody in Highland Park knew the Library would be welcomed at SMU. I am so delighted for the President. I know it´s icky to watch them on this disgusting network but, it is what it is. The Bushes LIKE NBC. I thought the video was adorable. Henry and Jenna looked thrilled. I can´t help but be glad Jenna´s coworkers showed their warm feelings for her this morning.

There are quite a few books on our shelves that I feel I ought to have read, but haven't yet. Until a few days ago, Alasdair MacIntyre's After Virtue was one of them. But now I have finally gotten around to beginning it.
Today I came to a section in which MacIntyre argues that there are no natural or human rights. This took me by surprise. He does not just say that rights-talk has gotten out of hand, or that there is too much emphasis on rights and not enough on duties and responsibilities. Nor does he limit himself to saying that an ethics of rights needs to be supplemented with, and grounded in, an ethics of virtue. No, he simply and bluntly denies that rights exist at all: "the …

This was a good park. The restrooms and shower were REALLY REALLY clean...and the best part was - that they were totally private. Private as in - you had your own shower and "get ready" room. That was awesome. We paid $575 per month...and the park was almost empty. I guess my only complaint is..there were parks that (albeit were not as nice) were right next to this park - that were half the price. I think they should price themselves accordingly to the economic times. This was the most expensive park in Vegas. We stayed for several months...but not sure if we will next time we are in town.

Cards Get Shutout Goaltending by Rachel Stemerman '09 and Game-Winner from Conner Brannen '10
Making 39 saves to record her third career shutout, Rachel Stemerman '09 (#1, main photo) kept powerhouse Utica, which came in averaging more than six goals a game, off the board for 60 minutes. It took the Cardinals just over 55 minutes to find their scoring range but the one goal by Conner Brannen '10 (#7, photo insert lower left) at 15:16 of the third period proved to be enough in the 1-0 Wesleyan victory during the team's home opener Sat., Dec. 1. The triumph was the first in the head coaching career of new team mentor Jodi McKenna. Brannen, who picked up her first goal this season, did some fine work in setting herself up after taking a pass on the right side of the offensive zone from Leah Coe '11. She skated deep into the Utica zone, then cut up from behind the net on the right side and found some room to launch a game-winning shot. Utica pulled its keeper for the final two minutes of the game with Wesleyan skating short-handed a majority of the span, but the Cards held on for their first win over the Pioneers in five all-time meetings. When the teams collided for a sixth time Sun., Dec. 2 to conclude the two-game series, Utica got a measure of revenge with a 2-1 win. Stemerman made a spectacular 50 saves as the Pioneers generated a 52-21 shot differential. For her 89-save weekend and. 978 save percentage, Stemerman was named NESCAC Player of the Week. It was the third time in her career she has been named NESCAC POW. Wesleyan drew first blood on Mallory Cruz' '11 wrap-around goal 5:39 into the game. Utica tied it up five minutes later and eventually got a second shot past Stemerman four minutes into the final stanza. Wesleyan pulled its goalie for an extra skater over the final 1:31 but couldn't get the equalizer. Wesleyan closed out its first-semester action at Holy Cross Wed., Dec. 5, falling by a 3-2 count. Jess Fischer '08 and Adrienne Shea '08 both scored their first goals of the season. Wesleyan again pulled Stemerman, who had 25 saves in the game, for the final 1:34 looking for a tying goal but came away empty. The team will have five weeks off from games before resuming action at home against Salve Regina Tues., Jan. 8.

WoHoo!! I won "Diablo 3 with Mr. SD...+ Diablo 3 and Video Card"
I never thought I would or could win... Didn't even start entering these contests until recently.I was a huge doubter myself... See my post here & here in this thread. Pardon the picts. My wife (the photographer in the family) wasn't home to help ...I didn't get one of those SD t-shirts like the other winners. Hence the reason it's not in the pictures A simple "thank you" in a thread can make a world of a difference to an OP
at your posts that you linked.
Great pictures and your DD is adorable! Yeah the shirts that have been getting added in some of the giveaways have been the 10 year anniversary t-shirts that we were moving out. They were just extra surprises for some random winners. Your prizes cam straight from Amazon as a direct ship so I couldn't sneak one in the box. 'Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'
SD FAQ Megathread - Very helpful |
Aww your baby is adorable and ultra cute! Congrats bro winning!
btw...Diablo III If you LOVE a deal on a thread be sure to always show your support and give it the SD Effect!
I just copied and pasted "Diablo 3" from the SD giveaway page. Don't blame the messenger Now I have to add a disclaimer for the pictures in the OP: I was baby sitting today when the photographs were taken by me of my daughter. My wife gave me instructions to change my baby girl in to her regular clothes from her pj's in the morning. I sort of forgot to change her before taking the pictures. I sent a link to this thread to my wife. She saw I didn't change the baby in to her clothes and is afraid everyone would think my baby is a boy. This disclaimer is to let anyone reading this thread that may baby is a girl & not a boy. |
Congrats buddy,im happy for ya

Several other players are on the cusp ŌĆō Jeff Bagwell, Larry Walker, Jack Morris and Tim Raines.

Marshon Brooks was the picture of a frustrated Friar as he stood in the hallway of The Dunk Saturday night. His stat line in a narrow loss to St. JohnŌĆÖs ŌĆō 8-of-14 shooting for 20 points ŌĆō did little to ease his pain. Most players would gladly take the numbers like the ones Brooks compiled, bolt quickly out of the gym and pray that nothing gets amended before the final sheet is xeroxed. Not Brooks. The senior knows that if Providence has any shot of being anything more than a mere footnote in Big East play, then he has to deliver high octane performances every time out.

Hassina Sherjan
November 6th and 7th. We had a great visit with Ms. Sherjan. She spoke about the link between illiteracy and war. 80% of Afghan's can't read or write, which makes it easy for extremist groups to manipulate them. This inspired several students to get involved in supporting Aid Afghanistan for Education to help educate Afghans of all ages.
Sherjan left Afghanistan as a refugee in 1979. She returned to Afghanistan in 1999 and established underground classes for girls. February 15, 2003, Aid Afghanistan for Education established its first remedial education program for 300 girls between the age of 12 to 16. In two years this grew to a total of 1200 students.

Amber Preston is a comedy seductress. Recently named one of �5 Comedians to Watch� in New York Magazine her brassy charisma and keenly honed joke craft leave audiences powerless not to fall head over heels. From raucous roadhouses to the classiest clubs Preston�s saucy, mischievous charm captivates diehard and casual comedy fans alike.
A proud native of Fargo, ND Preston�s early performance career consisted of hosting family talent shows and dancing in the aisles of the Hornbacher�s grocery store hoping to be discovered by Lawrence Welk. Years of musical theater, improv training, and short film work followed. In 2004 she took the plunge into standup comedy and immediately started turning heads.
Preston is a natural improviser whose comedy can be defined as much by the method of its creation as by its hilarious outcomes. She brings her �piddly ideas�, those small grains of nascent humor, to the stage. There she pokes, prods, and explores them, involving the audience in every step of the instinctive and spontaneous process until they emerge days, weeks, or months later as comedy pearls. Add to this a laundry list of quirky obsessions, and a genuine passion for connecting and having fun with her audience and you have a recipe for true comedy excellence.
