Well, furnace on the washing machine circuit is against the NEC regardless of how it's done....
What exactly is/was that fuse doing and why is it needed? Protecting the outlet and furnace was plugged into the outlet or what? Isn't there a fuse/breaker at the service panel?
I think at that point maybe they'll just quote a 3rd curb adapter...
I think it's to keep fingers out since the grill is missing. Not sure it'd be very effective at keeping the fingers out though.
I don't understand your logic. Why would you *WANT* your unit to cycle constantly, wearing out contactors, relays, and start components, causing temperature and humidity swings, and significantly...
Payson, the theif will probably turn you in to the EPA and get the $10K reward.
Is that a stainless gas connector on the water line between thost water heaters?
Why can't you do 45 degree water with R-22? That's pretty standard for comfort cooling.
If the desired temp is 45, and leaving water temp is 25, how is that not cold enough?
If you put one in heat mode and one in cool, does it become a cascade system?
What are they doing in there that they need 7 tons for 1600 sq ft?
It's all sealed up with that new invisible mastic.
Is that a drier vent next to it? And a disconnect closer to the front of the house not attached to anything? What's that box that's partially underground? Looks like a meter socket to me...
And the supply house was out of 1.5 ton units http://www.hvac-talk.com/vbb/images/icons/icon15.gif
Why is it even there?
Looks to me like they are all connected together and there's no outlet
If the filter driers are in fact clogged, I can't help but wonder how enough crap got in a new system to clog them.
Not if it's more than 6 feet off the floor.
It's not functionally. If the correct breaker is installed, it might could be considered "safe" even. But is it right? Does it look very professional? Would you want YOUR name on it?
Maybe once the copper gets hot enough, the solder melts and the copper falls out, acting as a fuse. http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/images/icons/icon10.gif
Payson, did you call up the EPA and turn in that ELK for venting refrigerant?
That is a high pressure switch on the back of the compressor. The R-12 systems just had a popoff valve that vented to the atmosphere. 134a systems still have that, but they are also required to...
How did you miss the recovery part?
"There might be some pressure in the system when you loosen the connection, but it doesn't matter if a little leaks out because it's only 134a"
I've got one of those on my own unit. I love it. It has noticably reduced the amount of dust in the house, and the evap and blower wheel stay spotless. Only thing I dislike is it's a pain to...
Look at the third one from the right. I bet the owner said "Ain't cold enough in here, I want a bigger, badder unit than everyone else"
If I read it right, they still have the variable speed compressor, so the controller was still needed.

Spotted in Georgia, Window Art February 2014
A pop-up installation by Gina Somebody for Voyeur Designs at Paces Ferry Plaza, 3539 Northside Parkway Northwest, Atlanta, featuring nearly 75,000 feet of fluorescent yarn and string and 3,600 screws. Voyeur Designs is an Atlanta-based collaborative that creates site-specific sculptures in vacant retail spaces. Through blending art and design they transform empty storefronts into focal points for the developments they inhabit. The installations demand attention, promote the property and raise the bar in commercial real estate marketing. This particular piece is lit at night and it is a highly recommended sight to see.

View the e-learning game
I know there are a lot of folks in the community who are looking to build games in Storyline, or who just want to know more about using games in e-learning. If either sounds like you, then you'll love this week's challenge.
This week we're going to look at transforming a quiz into a simple e-learning game.
In reality, these types of games are more like glorified progress meters than high-production games. But they're fun for learners to take, and just as much for course designers to build.
What type of game do you want? One option for game themes is to align the game to the rest of your course content. Think of a new hire course where the objective is to collect important documents from different departments. Maybe you browse the aisles of your company "store" and fill your cart with your departmental items. Another option is to choose something more off-the-wall like an adventure game or a treasure hunting scenario.
Once you've found a theme, the next step is to head over to your favorite stock photo site for some background graphics that match your theme. Because the background graphic is the largest slide object, it sets the context for your e-learning game.
How do you want your learners to move through the game? Two common ways include:
Linear: Learners follow a path of challenge questions. Each time the learner answers correctly, the learner moves forward along the path. Markers along the path are updated visually to indicate correct and incorrect choices.
Non-linear: Learners move through the game by choosing one of the markers or buttons placed around the game board. Clicking a marker loads a new challenge question. After answering the question, the learner is returned to the game board and the marker is updated visually to reflect a correct or incorrect answer.
As with most interactions in Storyline, you have multiple options for how you structure your game. Depending on your goals, you'll find one method fits better than the other. You essentially have two ways to build your file:
Everything is built on a single slide. This is an efficient way to structure your file because it enables you to easily share your final game template. Because all quiz questions are built on slide layers, Storyline's built-in quiz results options won't be available to track and report the game scores.
The other option is to build your questions as separate slides. Using your game board as your home slide, each marker loads a quiz question either as a lightbox slide or jumps the learner to the new slide. After completing the question, the learner is returned to the home slide where the marker is updated to reflect the learner's correct or incorrect answer.
This week your challenge is to build a simple e-learning game in either Storyline or Quizmaker.
You can use Articulate Storyline or Articulate Quizmaker to create your e-learning game.
To get you started, take a look at this e-learning game from our downloads gallery.
To help you find a game plan for this week's challenge, take a look at the highlights from last week's branching scenarios challenge:
Jackie Van Nice kicked off this week's challenge with an elegant example of smooth animations and creative type design. Be sure to check out Jackie's blog post to learn more about her design process. Awesome demo, Jackie!
Kimberly Bourque followed up with a creative example that asks learners to guess their leadership style before beginning the simulation. Well done, Kimberly!
Gemma Henderson put together an illustrated example that features a creative rollovers for the question choices. Amazing example, Gem!
El Burgaluva shared a creative, character-driven example that features photo characters and chat boxes for each scenario. Great demo, Leslie!
The weekly challenges are ongoing opportunities to learn, share, and build your e-learning portfolios. You can jump into any or all of the previous challenges anytime you want. We'll feature your work and provide feedback if you request it.
Get your game on this week, E-Learning Heroes!

this is a very nice idea for a challenge.
About a year ago (maybe more), I started sketching out an idea for an educational game for Primary/Elementary School kids. I plan to build it using Storyline and I expect it will be well over a hundred hours' work by the time I'm done so obviously I won't try to squeeze it into this Weekly Design Challenge. Ha ha!
But I'm keen to see the ideas that community members come up with on this one. Again, GREAT idea for a challenge.

Dan, your course is great! The only thing, when you have the instruction voiceover, I didn't hear it because of noise and was a tad confused at the start since I couldn't replay the clip. Perhaps a little instruction on-screen? I loved the voiceover and the music.
Posted Monday, February 24, 2014 at 11:42 AM
Przemysław--I love the design. Very clean. When I get the first question, i cannot advance beyond that screen when next appears. Is that supposed to happen?
Posted Monday, February 24, 2014 at 11:54 AM
Yep run out of steam to do more :)
Posted Monday, February 24, 2014 at 11:59 AM
I thought that was a possibility given all of what you did for the matching game and the design!
Posted Monday, February 24, 2014 at 12:10 PM
Hi Kimberly, Thanks for the feedback. I put an option to Restart in the upper right corner. Do you think it's too small? Also, originally I was going to have the script I'm reading from on the left sidebar, but decided to take it out so it would seem more like a game and less like an e-learning module.
Posted Monday, February 24, 2014 at 12:27 PM
Nope, it isn't too small. I was just expecting to restart that instruction media clip rather than the entire course. but now that I heard it with headphones on, I hear the instructions start at the beginning.
Posted Monday, February 24, 2014 at 12:54 PM
Good. I was wondering if someone might want to just restart the game without the introduction - skipping the part about going to the Grand Bizaar and the music store and just going right into the part where they decide whether to play the instrument with a plectrum or a bow.

Where are my manners! I love the design, and can think of a several ways to use such a game. My initial thoughts are terminology based resources that need a bit of jazzing up.
Apologies that the first post comes across as a bit of a grab.

This challenge motivated me to wrap up some game show templates I worked on last summer.
The quiz questions are built on Storyline's Pick One quiz question. I added a progress meter (top of quiz) to indicate correct and incorrect responses.
The conclusion features a character state change based on the correct points earned. That part took me a little time to figure out.

For this game challenge, I wanted to see if I could create a crossword in storyline where users insert their answers directly in the crossword grid, letter by letter. I ended up with this children's game.

Wow! These are all awesome. Everyone is so creative! Nick -- I'm interested in how you got five text entry boxes on one slide. What did you use?
Posted Tuesday, February 25, 2014 at 11:53 AM
@Janet - I used Storyline. There is no limit to the number of text boxes you can add to a slide. You then have to create triggers to differentiate between correct and incorrect text entries. The most labor intensive part for me was creating a system to deal with wrong entries. If you test my project by entering wrong letters, green circles appear on the grid over the wrong entries - and will continue doing so until user types in the correct letters.
If there is any interest I'll make a screener - or you can take it apart by studying my Story file below:

Love all the examples so far. Everyone is so creative. Here is mine. It is far from finished and it isn't modeled on a board game so I may be breaking the rules - what else is new :)
I've created a detective game in which people have to find evidence and "interview" witnesses and suspects to figure out who committed the crime. The game is not far enough along for you to solve the crime.
Posted Tuesday, February 25, 2014 at 1:48 PM
Thanks so much, Nick. Very helpful! I'm working on creating a form that students would fill out and then submit via Blackboard. I'm thinking that the way you've set up the text entry boxes might help me figure this out. Thanks again.

Nancy: I'm so sorry I can't see yours at the moment - I just get a Dropbox 404 error. :(
Allison: Nice idea! I wouldn't have thought of a card game, and you've executed it really well.
Charles: I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to build spaceships and I'm glad I didn't let you down. Nice use of imported .swf files - and a fantastic look and feel!

Allison, AWESOME card game and figuring out the animation pause. Fantastic design as well.
Charles, all that is running through my head is the very unprofessional and childish "OH EM GEE." That was a stunning design and brilliant game!

Wow, Nancy - that's really nice! How did you create the graphics? So many beautiful ideas in your project it'd be tough to list them all!
Posted Thursday, February 27, 2014 at 6:45 AM
Now that I have had some time to check out these games, they are all so amazing!
@Kai, thanks! It didn't take very long. I spent a little while trying to make the randomization work with a question bank, and was just working on this when I had some spare time over the last couple of days.. So maybe a few hours start to finish.
To be honest, I am actually terrible at making myself sit down and plan out variables and triggers ahead of time. I usually have some idea of what I want to happen and just build them as I go. I know it would probably take me less time to plan them out first but it always seems more fun to me to build as I go and building the logic of a course is the part I enjoy most. Luckily it hasn't come back to bite me in the a** yet. (Though i did realize this morning that I forgot to reset the score meter variables back to zero when restarting, so there's that.)

Monise - liked the game show format, it was fun and easy to follow.
Nick - great idea to do a crossword, I also liked the little sounds you threw in for each animal.
Nancy - I loved the b&w look of your game to fit the bicycle thief theme and the whole mystery solving thing was fun. It was great having different methods to choose from to collect evidence. I've got to ask where did you get those animated characters?
Charles - Being a space geek, I really loved your space ship builder game. Nice looking design, and the spinning effect after the vehicle was assembled looked very tech! Also, nice touch using the spinning pics of the completed ships to show the user's progress.
Jackie - I loved all the cool animations and sounds; the train going from town to town, the beer meter, it was very creative and fun! Thanks for the good words on my musical instrument challenge as well!
Posted Thursday, February 27, 2014 at 9:29 AM
One thing I've gained from seeing all these cool entries is the unlimited ways to be creative in showing the user's progress.
Posted Thursday, February 27, 2014 at 9:39 AM
Jackie - I created a lot of the graphics in PowerPoint. The rest of are stock vector images that edit and change up in Illustrator to get them looking the way I want.
Dan - I animated the characters myself using an application called CrazyTalk Pro 7 and I did the voices myself using Audacity.

Welcome again to E-Learning Heroes, Tanya. Most of the challenges are basic enough for any skill level. This one was a bit more advanced.
If you're looking to jump into a challenge, this week's challenge is really easy: community.articulate.com/.../elearning-instructional-design-tips.aspx

Here's a blog about how I used sound in Storyline to create a game about musical instruments.

AMAZING contributions, totally overwhelmed with the level of detail and interaction each game provides. Great job all!
Due to an internet connection that apparently decided it was on vacation most of the week, I was unable to submit in time, however, this did not stop me completing a weekly challenge! Please see below my attempt at a rather simple e-Learning game.

Storyline File: http://bit.ly/Game_E_Story
There's a couple of issues I want to try and clean up - while the parts are triggered to disappear they still appear at the end when transitioning to the results slide. Any advice would be appreciated!
Brilliant job again everyone.

Gemma--I love your design. The light box question slides are so awesome! I'm glad your internet decided to return from its vacation so that you could show us your game.
Posted Monday, March 03, 2014 at 9:03 AM
Hi Gemma, I think I might be able to help you solve your problem with making the parts disappear, but I'm having trouble actually figuring out how to answer the questions properly. I'm not sure how the Devo video helps to answer the question. Also, I tried the link to the blog to see if that might help me, but it just takes me back to the game.
Posted Monday, March 03, 2014 at 9:25 AM
Ah! yes, bit.ly links do not seem to work as well here sometimes. Here's my attempt again, if this doesn't work again, you may have to copy/paste :( Sorry! Thank you for your assistance!

The Text Entry slide linking to a Kraftwerk video was really just a demonstration of using video within a question. In the text box, the prompt 'Type 'Correct' here - just needs you to type 'Correct' and submit. I'll have a think about how to make this more user-friendly as a template. Thank you for your input! :)
Thank you Kimberly! Yes, it's holding out so far, fingers crossed...
Posted Monday, March 03, 2014 at 9:33 AM
Gemma, all three links seem to be pointing to the same URL, which seems to be the issue. We see the robot game for all three links.
Posted Monday, March 03, 2014 at 12:06 PM
Gemma, I'm sure I can help you solve your problem with the robot parts not disappearing right away because I've run into a similar situation in the my Superbowl munchies activity with making the individual munchies disappear. I wrote a blog a few weeks back that explains how to do it:
Let me know if you have any questions.
Posted Monday, March 03, 2014 at 12:37 PM
Gemma, I also was still only able to open the published game from the three links you provided. If you can get a link to the actual Storyline file, I'd be glad to look at it and see if we can get the pieces to disappear the way you want.
Posted Monday, March 03, 2014 at 1:43 PM
Thank you Dan, I will take an in-depth look at this tonight!
Let's see if this works! gemmahenderson.com/.../e-learning-challenge-create-a-simple-e-learning-game
Posted Monday, March 03, 2014 at 1:57 PM
I was able to grab the file from your blog, Gem. But like Dan, the links in the comments didn't work. If you'd like me to update the links for you, let me know.
Thanks for sharing a super cool demo. I've watched the Robots video a dozen times already. Wait, was that my inside voice? #BackToWork
Posted Monday, March 03, 2014 at 3:00 PM
Hi Gemma, Yes, that last link took me to your blog and then the Storyline file was at the bottom. I was able to get the parts to disappear when you return to the initial Game Slide 1.3 simply by changing the slide properties on that slide to "resume saved state" when revisited.
Posted Monday, March 03, 2014 at 6:39 PM
Gem - I updated the links. Not sure what's going on with Bitly but everything's working now.

Bit tardy to the party on this one! Started a game last week, then got snowed under, so rushed it a bit! Couple of hints if you want an easy life pick your partner in crime carefully (Dave!) And make sure to finish the job if your a fan of old school games! (Hint - the controls are enter to start and left and right arrows to move and space to fire).

(P.S. was a rush job in making it so testing hasn't been done properly, hopefully all works ok!)

I like where you're going with your game, Alex but I'm not sure how to disable the CCTV. Each time I drag the object, I get BUSTED! Can you provide some details around how to disable?
Posted Monday, March 10, 2014 at 2:06 AM
Ah sorry, i probably made it a bit tight and didn't really explain where the drop zone was, also i know that it is probably quite irratating having to return to the start, I might make it so that each replay just restarts that slide (if I get time!).
The drop zone is at the end of the wire in the white junction box, just to be kind I've republished it and made the drop zone larger and included a screenshot of it to show where you need to go! Sorry it was a bit obscure, shouldn't have rushed!

Here's my simple contribution - whipped up very quickly in half a day for my 5-year-old daughter who is (a) learning basic sight words, and (b) crazy about the movie 'Frozen' and Princess Elsa.
A bit rough around the edges, but basic game/discovery learning principles apply, and a testament to how quickly you can develop bright appealing interactions using Storyline!

Love it Jason, will have to try that on my 4 year old when I get home!
Posted Tuesday, March 11, 2014 at 3:27 AM
Well done, Jason! Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas. I've already started my own game for my 5-yr old. I'll post what I come up with later this week.
Really think there are some big possibilities for learning games w/ Storyline.
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes:-)

Jason, I've just watched (and completed!) your excellent game. I particularly like the simplicity of the design, great vocals and the 'reward' of a video. Whilst you may be new to elearning heroes, you've clearly been beavouring away with SL and use it to great effect. Congratulations!

Thanks for the very kind comments! Here is another one I developed just a couple of weeks after first purchasing Articulate Storyline:
My (at the time) six-year-old son did the image sourcing, writing and audio recording for that one.
I recently blogged about this idea of developing elearning games at home (and reflected on what this can mean from a Learning Design perspective), for anyone interested:

There are some really good E-learning games posted by everyone so far. This was an interesting and inspiring challenge.
Here's another E-learning game submission!
Basically I was thinking of ways to make learning different UI/navigational elements in digital design more engaging. I've taught some UI design classes before, and it always fell into the context of Website examples (which I also design). So mainly I was looking for a reason to gamify that info a bit. Not sure if this will actually be used in real classes (it was mainly just done quickly, and for the fun challenge).
Anyway, this game is called "Spy Games" and is a VERY fictional gameplay scenario where you play as an gov't anti-cyber crime agent, and placed in the computer interface, intercepting and tracing malicious threat activity in the form of satellite signals. It doesn't specifically state what the threat signals are doing, but think hacking of important databases, cybercrimes of various sorts, etc.
Possible future revisions/plans for this e-learning game include cleaning up the design more. Also adding some more "rounds" and new signal locations where, after the first round of "Training" it would require the player to navigate the interface again and also use a basic knowledge of maps, world locations to trace the signal.
This was a fun challenge exercise and use of Articulate Storyline. Good ideas all around!

@Jason: I just wanted to say how much my son and I LOVED your project. He found the the quizzes engaging and silly (although we were on chapter 9 before he said--hey, this is like a test.) He also loved listening to your son reading..especially when he did some silly emphasis. It was well-designed--it was a great tool for reading and comprehension. If you decide to make a Book 2, let me know.

Hi everyone . I'm new to story line. I need your help . I want to design a game about an airport and the main places in it like passport control , baggage hall , arrival lounge , departure lounge. So may anyone help me ?

I'm coming to this pretty late, but here's my submission. Thanks for the great challenge. Enjoy! :)

Oh my what talent! I was looking at a lot of the blogs last night and this really got me wanting to do a game. I know I'm late coming in but as they say---better late than never. No I am not going to put a game on here because I am new and yes intimidated by all of this!
What I really want to say though is THANK YOU everyone for sharing your inspiration and talent, it helps me a lot.
After reading all of this I couldn't stop dreaming about it---yes, this means no sleep! Came in to work first thing this morning and decided I had to do a quick rough draft of what kind of game I would like to do. I think I may be dreaming too big and I'm sure it will take me a while to do it. But I was wonder if it was even possible--I think it is using variables*?%*-!?. Before I venture this can I get some input on if anyone thinks it is doable? Below is the template of what my thoughts are---
Storyboard Template
Scene 1: Your Travel Style
Slide: Title:
On-Screen Narration
As questions what kind of style do you like for traveling (luxury, flying, party life, relaxing)---this creates a goal for them to work towards.
Start with 100 pts.
Pick transportation option: various vehicles (car, van, trailer—not too nice because they only have 100 pts.
Pick destination option to travel to: camping, backyard, resort, beach, and museum (each option is a point value. some over 100pts some not so they get excited to get more points).
Points are taken away as they make these options. Can go negative.
Programming Notes
Scene 2: Travel destination
Slide: 2.1 Title: Address Source
This is the option that they picked.
Clips of the option picked. And information of what kind of vacation (fourwheeling, swimming, site seeing etc).
As they go along they get options of excursions (fourwheeling, boat, tour etc). They choose these excursion by getting points.
To get points they go to question bank and answer questions. They earn points for right answer, get second chance for wrong answer (?no points taken away for wrong answer).
When all questions are answered the vacation is over and they go back to the page to choose another destination.
This is the travel option that they picked.
As I write this WOW, it may be too much! Also, sorry I'm not sure how to put this in as a link??
Again, THANKS, THANKS, THANKS for sharing your ideas and inspiring me.

Here is a game that I created this weekend, the balloon gifs don't seem to work unless they are aligned to the beginning of the timeline though: googledrive.com/.../0B5y_QMyqV7ZvQ2dCeWtEMXhGOWM
Posted Sunday, August 31, 2014 at 8:34 AM
Kenra, your original post was some time ago, though thought I'd add a comment about what was asked. First, it looks like an interesting idea! And Yes, it looks very possible to create.
It would use a variable for the Points. You could set it up by clicking the black "x" in the Triggers panel, set it's type to Number, and have it's initial value set at 0 (to start out with). Then, as users make the different choices, you'd need to add different Triggers there to add (or subtract) the different Point amounts. For example, create a Trigger, set it's Action to "Adjust Variable", and select the variable made previously for the Points. For the Operator, select the equal sign ( = ), then select "Value" and in the box next to that is where you'd enter the number of points it gives (e.g. 100). Then select "When" (which action causes it) to add that amount of points. For example, when "User clicks" an Object (choose an image of your choice in that drop-down).
That's the basic idea behind how to add points, and use a variable to store how much the User currently has. There are likely other ways of setting it up too though that's the way I'd approach it. Also, one other thing - to actually display the point totals on the screen, you'd take the name of the variable you originally created and place it in a text box in the screen layout. Surround the variable name between two "%" symbols in the text box (For example: %Variablename% ).
Again, you had a good idea. Hopefully you've kept thinking about it!
Melissa, also very good game! It has a part which uses reflexes, in addition to the commonly used question section. I assume you used Storyline's animations for that part, and has some Triggers set up for clicks on the images. The mix of interactivity, and the questions was good. Well done.
So many good ideas for this topic in general.
Thanks for sharing your feedback! If your feedback doesn't appear right way, please be patient as it may take a few minutes to publish.

Star Projector
I'm still wishing upon a star in sky…
Shooting stars like a film from the sights in the lens of my eyes..
Dynamically electrifying..
Pulsating supernovas clustered together like a ball of flame spinning around in a stationary motion..
I guess you can call it the sun..
Which represents you because you're my only one..
I could of easily said that as we lay back staring at the ceiling of artificial lights
Moons, stars, galaxies, and smokey colored universes which brings an enchanted of enhanced scenery of this room
Who knew that a nocturnal flower can bloom when I reach over and pluck your lips with a kiss
Sweet incense of passionable love
From my love…
Intoxicating elixir that involves a mixture of satisfying drugs that leaves me with this high
Lost track of time like a sleeping clock that was knocked out..
Whispering 'I Love You" from your sweet mouth
This feels like a dream..
Better yet outer space but i'm home within you since you're my world..
You're my wish come true..
My World
My Star
My lovely friend..
Gentle spirited in nature with a physical that's tantalizing to adore
Adorning your physical being like a treasure of rubies, sapphires, and emeralds..
Even rare diamonds which describe each meaning of color like the perfect painting for a sensational master piece of art that's priceless by the sovereign hands of God..
You're beyond belief but a woman of faith..
The glow of the most highs rays shine bright on your face that shows joy
So loyal until your last breath as I feel your heart beat from your chest while it vibrates from your breast, and I feel it caress my brain telling me I'm yours until the end of time..
But the watch I'm looking at is timeless since it charges by the SON because he is our foundation and the base where we base our support from.
The woman of my dreams…
You're not slick because you schemed your way back into my life with a subtle chase that says I want you as my king
Your my queen that receives everything of value that you didn't ask for..
You're mine..
You're mine Ruth..
The mother who will help me create a great generation of anointed children who will be kings like David, and wise chosen women of God like Mary who are queens in their own right.
My sister in Christ..
My woman for life..
My lover for all time..
My spouse..
I tell you the truth..
I adore this woman who is great

Hello Summer
Fine like summer time
Hello summer…
Knocked out since spring enjoying your winter slumber after the fall
Your sun shines for you to rise like it was an alarm clock since I called to tell you that I miss you
Your warm embrace…
Beams of constant heat touching my face
But that's no surprise as you're right in front of my eyes to blind my view
Placing shades on to see you and your radiant beauty
Forcing me to run through water and hide in the shade to cool me
Oh summer…
Sometimes I wonder why you make this time of year more memorable than any season?
Even though you don't need a reason
Maybe its because you want to spark a flourish of love
Like the romantic dates you conjure up when you turn the lights off to stroll amidst the night
Eyes drawing across the starry sky to create imaginative designs.
Or illuminating the city with building and street lights..
Yeah I love that…
Embracing my love with a kiss with the warm brisk of the night air
You care…
You really do…
Because what season can compete with you?
Maybe spring..
Like your sister you both know how to make my heart sing since its filled with warmth
Lets continue to enjoy one another…
Before I have to say dear summer in the first line of my goodbye letter
Oh Summer

The Man Without A Face
Mysterious he is….
He says the right words that sinks into her eyes that she loves to soak up
He can make her laugh by the things he does like a jester for this queen who is naive on her throne.
A clown he is? Maybe so
A joker? she won't ever know because she accepts this person for who he is due to his alluring behavior that covers more than she fails to realize.
Casting a dawning gaze into her eyes which hypnotizes her into a still motion so he places strings around her to control her thoughts and movements like a beautiful puppet
Crafty he is? It seems like it
Though his motives are unclear but they become apparent when he wants to introduce her to his parents as a sign that he wants a "commitment"
Tries to be consistent but slips up every chance he gets
Trying to get a grip of those strings by placing a ring on her finger to claim promises being kept
But quiet as kept he knows what he's doing
Under his spell he drags her into a seeming less hell which is his playground, so he gets her to have fun which she thinks is okay to do because the pleasure is a trap
Feeling every spot from the bottom to the top
Sexual sins running rampant into her mind which now she has become blind and deaf to her senses
Paralyze so he can do whatever he pleases to do
She doesn't see this man with a face
All she can remember is the guy she met so she thinks she's safe and know harm can be done
She allows him to have his way
Displacing her by demoting her from queen to a whore
Valuable to trash
Instead of love he lusts after her ass more than he does her heart
But he controls her heart
Wanting to ruin her life
Wanting to drown her insides with unprepared life which is a major consequences because there's no protection
No protection….
She knows he's mysterious but looks past the mysteries of his past not asking him of any previous illness that plague his manhood
No protection…
The only thing she feels is his erection and it's now second nature for her to accept
Never thought about getting checked but he checks himself since that all he cares about
Worry overcomes her for the first time as the tears soften her drys eyes now she can see
Remember how she use to be
Sick and disturb she gains the nerves to speak her mind but he still controls her with an array of emotions
Weak she is? Yeah no doubt
Still eating the lies he's spitting into her mouth
Until the truth hurts her with news of his deception
He didn't love her in the first place
She gains control now she's free
He did it all to please his needs of beastly behaviors
Worked her over time with sexual favors that she didn't mind to take
Making a huge mistake..
Feeling less of herself
She wept…
Letting tears flow in disbelief that she was a hoe to one person even if they were together
She spreads her wings and fly as high as she's allowed
Staying away from that demon of a guy
Does she ever love again? She does
A cold heart now hot as liquid gold on a new throne that she was crowned by her king
A non factor past exploring new things
Mindless behavior…
This mysterious man with a motive thats endless.
Wanting to reclaim what is lost for personal gain
Sick in his ways but he can't come close to infect
But who is this man?
This man without a face?
A mask he took off with a black void behind it
Evil in a good disguise that tells lies
A crafty actor with no applause
No standing ovation.
But the curtains close…
By Tyree Mc
Let Go
Sluggish movements..
Dragging your feet like a misbehaving child with an attitude..
No you don't have an attitude but your actions prove you're willing to move forward but holding on to the previous dude
The prelude ended with an interlude with new possibilities to make an impactful hit to our music of life.
What isn't right is this past still lingering like a nosey annoying insect trying to draw blood so it can gain your attention
Trying to make himself noticeable
All in your ear buzzing making you listen to the times you did this and that
But thats bad blood because it's unhealthy to be in a place where there is no love but you feel as though you need to play a part because that past was lengthly.
Selfish it may be we're chopping down trees to build a home but you're being careless by burning the wood we have but the irony is that you don't want to burn that wooden bridge.
Cant cross what you already walked from
Can I live?
Have a future with you and beautiful kids
Have our eyes focused on each other until we close our lids
Then actually look back on the great things we did that was good with our numbers
The years of any past hurt which will be long gone
Move at a fast pace or lose the race which we're in
What's better than righteousness to sin
Afraid to let it go to and have it gone in the wind?
Let it go
Keeping it lost and never found
Let it go
Moments like that
Let it go
What more can I say?
Is it so?
You want it all with me in the future
But you have to let that past be the past and let it go.
By Tyree Mc
We should stay right here..
We're not going no where
In this room alone while trapped in our own zone breathing peacefully in this atmosphere
My love my dear stroking and playing with your hair while we bask in the sun as the rays hit your bed
Expressing everything thats going on in our head
Pouring out our hearts like a pitcher of southern sweet tea which is pleasing since our conversations is very tasteful
I taste your words and feed them with insight while you smile so bright
Warming my body with your luminous love as the sun beams on you my angel
Making me laugh with tears of joy flowing like a raging river of peace
Television on mute so its being entertained by our amusement of one another
Laying on top of the covers but you cover me with your body while I taste your soft lips
Soft as plush and luscious fruit
Pausing our expression with a quiet I love you
Staring deeply while laughing
Thinking about the moves we should make
Hard to think since we're so comfortable in this place which is our space
Our world
Blocking the noise from the outside feeling alive when i'm with you
A natural high filling the room and being exposed to it's inevitable contact.
A beautiful day
Lost & Found
I have another story to tell
Where a beautiful young woman has been forced and locked in a shell..
A rare woman of good morals and ethics
But suffering with torturous pains that's clouding her brain..
Insane weakening her membrane leaving her vulnerable to the outside world to feel pain but now she wants to numb it..
She wants what's good but has no choice but to settle for the bad..
Mad with madness because what she use to preach lacks practice so she's acting out of character
She doesn't get what she wants which is that good and safe lifestyle where happiness reigns but instead walks on the darkside where trouble stays
Her judgment is jaded without a care so she changes her hair and appearance while others are playing tug of war with her ears but she forces herself not to hear it..
She's gone in spirit..
Negative and toxic on the inside where the devil resides
Not giving a damn who comes inside as you see the black in her eyes as she's lost where the good in her hides
Taking in her veins a drug of sexual pleasure from men who are just little boys who like to play in fruit which was once forbidden but now left open to the public
She loves the way it feels not caring of the repercussions that kills in every disposition
Looking at herself in the mirror she listens to the rights and wrongs thats going on as she cries
Killing the evil behavior in her she dies
Putting her in a body bag of baggage that she carries which is labeled as her burdens
Locking her public gate to become private
Finding the one who left her excited so she's forced to let go and live without a care of the mistakes she made so she can be set free
Bad girl returned to good that was once lost and misunderstood for loose and out of control
Broke down to pieces just to be remade whole
Recycled as a new woman
Made anew
By: Tyree Mc
Slow Dance
This place is hopeless…
A hopeless place to find love while a crowd full of people in this club moving like a roaring sea during a storm
The eye of the storms sight is on you as the tide calms down to a slow motion groove with a soft melodious tune as I sail my way across this room
Towards you
Parting ways like the Red Sea just to get from here to there where my journey ends
Grabbing your hand as our waltz begins with a us both facing forward but experiencing an array of senses that's polarizing to our motion.
You grinding your hips deeper but gently on my lap..
Just grinding
Slow motion grind with your hands scanning my body like a detector
Lost like a treasure in our own world in outer space
It's like no one is around and the only sound we hear is the music from above
I'm going there with you so you can handle it
Reaching the ending but it's like the very beginning because we can't stop
Beautiful movement like swans
Showmanship of affection
When we slow dance
By: Tyree Mc
The Life
You can't let it go..
Caught up in the allure of glamour..
The spotlight
The party life
Flashing cameras and videos post of siddity attitudes thinking you're better than the next
Talking down to humble dudes when you're the reason why you broke up with your ex
Nonetheless you're lost in a world that only cares about your physical
Thinking your high priced and valuable but from the outside IN your depreciable
Yeah you depreciate in value because your worthless with your attitude
You may be gorgeous and stunning
Though you snare words like a trap to hurt feelings to those below you come close
Drunk of life
High of life
Turning up hell in the night time.
You fail to shine even with your glitz and glamour
Conceited ways leaving your humility retreated.
A lost soul in a circle like a seance
Money hungry women who prey on men
Indulging in sexual ways to get paid and be seen on the TV
The channel changes
Life goes on and you go on heading towards disaster
Caught up in the life
A life that you can't let go
Every little step I take with you..
Seems prosperous without an ending insight..
Because with you I want to journey on a road that will last for the rest of our life until we reach that sign that says dead end
Here our trek begins with us as a dating couple holding two hearts, with two hands, two brains, two loves…
That adds to ten because before we were incomplete but with you my other half made me whole that is biblically symbolic
Completion and perfection
Because you baby are perfect in my eye and in my mind that flows blood from my heart which seeps into my bones which excites my soul and relieves my spirit
My heart beats for you
Do you hear it
Cause I hear yours thumping hard like a rabbit being chased..
I had to chase to win last but ended up being first due to those who were disqualified
Those words were lies but I gave you truth but trust was gained because I knew you
You knew me and we walk to the point where I fall on my knees where I stumbled and found buried treasure
A ring that made you say I will, to prepare us towards the next step on this path of life that we turned on
An area that is new where trees and flowers blossom around a spring and meadow with an enchanted moment that I vowed and you said I do, only to fall deeper in the sky as we make sweet love on our honeymoon
Sinking deeper in you as I plant my seed to grow inside that sprouts a human that has our features and your eyes
Echoing her cries to rock her to sleep
More is on the way as we harvest our loves labor of being fruitful then multiplying to more blessings of our making.
Stepping into a place where they attain values and rules
Schooling like a group of fish only to grow wings and fly
Traveling in their own direction to find their love in a faraway land
Here we stand on three legs
Aged with wisdom
We see our joyful humbling ending
We spread our wings and fly high as our age converts to a younger us
Walking on clouds
Our spirit
Death do us part
Eternally together
Gods righteous steps.

Publisher's Description
The Discover 4 Yourself Bible Studies series for kids ages 9-12, combines a serious commitment to Bible study with fun and memorable games, puzzles, and activities to reinforce biblical truth. Each study is divided into daily lessons built around an in-depth, inductive study of a book or character of the Bible. Any young person who works through these studies will emerge with a richer appreciation of the Word of God and a deeper understanding of God's love and care for them.
Joseph--God's Superhero teaches children an extraordinary truth: God chooses ordinary people to become his super heroes. In the first of three characters studies in the Discover 4 Yourself series, kids will watch Joseph as he grows through some pretty amazing struggles. What would it be like to be sold as a slave and shipped off to another country by your own brothers? Later, when Joseph, meets up with his betraying brothers, will he take revenge? When he's thrown into prison for something he didn't do, how will he handle the unfairness? When he's second only to Pharaoh as the ruler of Egypt, will success go to his head?
Joseph had to deal with a life of ups and down, and God taught him how to handle them all. Now it's our turn to learn!

diane truscott5 Stars Out Of 5September 18, 2010diane truscottI ordered this for our 10 to 12 year old Junior Church class and they thoroughly enjoyed the book on Joseph. We have a book for each child and one for each teacher. The teacher who just concluded their week just lets the upcoming teacher know where they left off so they can pick up the following Sunday. Great Series - we've done others and they have all worked well in a classroom setting.
Stephanie Howes5 Stars Out Of 5September 3, 2010Stephanie HowesI have three kids 5,6,7 and we do it as a family I love that I am teaching my kids verse by verse and how to study their Bible when they get older and I learn so much too.

A car loan is essentially the same thing as a personal loan – but one that you can only use to purchase a car. That sounds like a bad deal, but the advantage is that the interest rates are usually lower. It all depends on which state you're in, but you can find APR rates as low as 2.29%. The reason for the reduced rate is because the car acts as security for the bank, so as long as you can be responsible and pay the bills you'll end up a winner.
First off, no financial decision is for everyone and a car loan is no different. If you're a student or lack a reliable source of income, getting a car loan is certainly not the best way to go about getting yourself an automobile. Be sure to play around with a car loan repayment calculator to get some sort of idea of what your weekly or monthly repayments will be.
However, there are a variety of reasons as to why getting a secured car loan is a more than viable option.
The Rates: Basically what I covered above – you'll get a lower rate on a secured car loan than you will on an unsecured personal rate. Not only this, but it's generally easier to loan larger sums of money if it's a car loan because, again, the car acts as security for the bank.
It's Good for Credit: There are numerous ways to get your credit rating up – student loans, revolving credit and so forth. However, if you're interested in securing a mortgage in the future, it'll be a tremendous help to you if you've got a paid-off auto loan in your credit history.
Car Quality: Given the lowered rates and greater ease with which you can secure larger sums of money, getting a car loan gives you room to not cut corners on price and purchase a new car, or a well taken care of used car. If you buy a used car, always check log books for regular servicing. Otherwise, although you may think you're saving money up front, constant repairs bills could deem it an un-wise investment. In this case, a new car could end up costing you just as much as a used one over the duration of the car loan.

11 Responses to "Mario Gomez: Suited & Recruited"
1. Glad to see Mario has the same effect on Ang that he does on us
2. Our little Mesut and Sami= oh the Schweet lolz they bring:)
3. HeeeEllo! to the guy in the pic below Mesut and Mizz Merkel (lol i hope its not too bad i don't know who he is)
And on a totally unrelated note: who else heard about Macheda calling ol' Rooney chav and "a bit vulgar"?? lol lol that sparked up my morning a bit
Never mind, it was the work of the press and their google translators again
Oh, Mesut & Sami…so adorable! I love it….Angela Merkel -as number one fangirl of German NT
The piccy of Sami & Mesut giggling together is freaking adorable!
And on that note I would like to take a brief moment of whining: I PERSONALLY didn't think Mario Gomez The Super-Stud/Sub played enough in the World Cup. I was happy to see a lot of the newbies (Ozil, Khedira, Mueller) gelling and playing really well with some of the vets (Schweini, Lukas, Arne, etc.), but I just needed a little more Mario Gomez in my life!
I love the rest of the photos, esp. the one of Khedira and Ozil. They were probably looking at that awful magazine cover of Ozil (he is still wearing THAT earring). Also, why is there a band playing in the background? I thought this was a formal ceremony.
ROFL! Poor Ozil will never live that down!
Pro: Gives much better backrubs than George Bush.
Con: she doesn't stop at backrubs (wink wink).
Mrs Chancellor are trying to seduce me?
but we all really know Merkel was missing her Schweini who wasn't there that day. LOL
Yah, I remember seeing those pictures, she's such a fangirl for Schweini, lol

Los Angeles: Mudslide Shuts Down Northbound 5 Freeway in Sun Valley
More in US News

Michelle Duggar: Baby 20 on the Way?
Thomas Piccard, Former Wheeling Police Officer, ID'ed as Killed Gunman
Crews are scrambling on Wednesday to clear a mudslide from 5 Freeway in Sun Valley in time for rush hour.
All five lanes of the northbound 5 Freeway are covered in mud and closed, and on the other side, all but the center lane are closed.
Drivers are inching past the massive puddle, reported NBC.
"This is what happens in Southern California, especially the very first rain of the season," said Fritz Coleman, NBC4 weathercaster. "You compare this with the 100-degree weather we were having over the weeekend, this is a real weather mood swing."
"With all of the dry weather we've had, the moisture is squeezed out, all along the 5 Freeway," Coleman said. "So that area is a little more vulnerable to mud slides."
Drivers are advised to use Glenoaks Boulevard or San Fernando Road as alternates, according to a SigAlert issued for the area.
There is not yet an estimated time of re-opening.

Joey Votto spoke about the difference between going into this year as opposed to last:
"Last year, there was a lot of unknown," Votto said. "This year, I feel like we've seen someone of our potential. I feel like we'll do a little more this year. Our goal is not have a wining season or break a stretch of losing seasons, our goal is to win the World Series this year."

Robert Pattinson Talks Candidly About Kristen Stewart Cheating Scandal
Though the drama of the cheating scandal between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart remains one of the celeb news highlights of 2012, some people -- namely Rob -- are over it.
Though the drama of the cheating scandal between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart remains one of the celeb news highlights of 2012, some people -- namely Rob -- are over it.
Robert Pattinson has addressed rumors that he is set to take over the role of Indiana Jones in the franchise's next film.
When Robert Pattinson stopped by 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' last night, practically every word that came out of his mouth was a gem.
Is 'Twilight' star Robert Pattinson working on recording an album? According to an interview with a friend, yes, RPatz is making a leap into music!
Robert Pattinson is looking even more like a vampire with his dark new 'do, a hairstyle he has adopted for an upcoming film role.
Robert Pattinson aka the famed and beloved Edward Cullen from 'Twilight' attended last night's (Nov. 14) GO GO Gala in Los Angeles sporting a goatee.
Zac Efron celebrated his big 2-6 with some fellow A-list gentlemen. The 'That Awkward Moment' star was flanked by none other than Robert Pattinson and Joe Jonas!
First we had the One Direction mom who covered herself in 1D logos and images. Now comes 52-year-old Cathy Ward of Reading, England, who boasts almost $14,000 worth of Robert Pattinson ink ... and plans to get even more!
'Twilight' hunk Robert Pattinson made the day of many wee ones when he made a surprise visit to a children's hospital in Los Angeles. He joined the kids on Aug. 16 (in secret) and worked with them to make decorative picture frames in the hospital's Teen Lounge.
Kristen Stewart arrived at her dirty pick-up truck on Monday, July 8, only to find a message written in the dust and grime on her car.
That message? "I <3 Rob" -- clearly a dig about her former 'Twilight' co-star and current ex-boyfriend Robert Pattinson. Yikes.
Late last year, Robert Pattinson was announced as the new face of the Dior Homme men's fragrance line, and now we're getting a peek at some unofficial photos of his first ad campaign.
Sorry, Twihards: Robsten are unbroken.
Sources confirmed that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart broke up, putting a stake through the hearts of vampire shippers everywhere.

Our next issue features a great cover from Tim Broderick the creator of Odd Jobs which has three complete storylines at Modern Tales and a new one coming next year, titled "Children of the Revolution." So good I couldn't help post it a little early.
And a big thanks to Jamie Robertson from Clan Of the Cats for the cover from our October issue. Hope everyone is having a happy halloween tonight!

Hot on the heels of this weekend's LG Cayman (now called the Lucid 4G) and Droid Fighter release date leak comes rumors of yet another set of release dates for some new VZW hotness. This go around is a 16GB version of the Galaxy Nexus - presumably in both white and black - set to hit on April 4th for all those folks who are convinced that 32GB is just too much storage, or perhaps those who just can't justify the price tag but still want to get in on some of that Nexus action.
It's always strange to see a company directly comment on rumors about its own products, but Samsung doesn't seem to take issue with it, as a statement they made to The Verge late last night confirms.
The latest speculation Samsung has cracked down on has been in regard to the Galaxy S III, stemming from a ZDNet Korea article that indicated the device would be unveiled next month. Here's the rough Google translation of the original tweet from Samsung's Korean arm regarding the issue:
The HTC Vivid, one of AT&T's mid-range (if you can call it that) phones is getting an unofficial bump to ICS courtesy of, who else? XDA. User Pirateghost has offered up a flashable Android 4.0.3 ROM. Stock, rooted and ready to go. It even comes with all that AT&T carrier bloat intact. You're getting the 100% pure, unadulterated stock experience with this one, just rooted.
As you can see, while it reads like ICS, it hardly looks like it at all.
You may remember way back in 2010 when Samsung first demonstrated a new flexible display technology, wowing onlookers and begging the question "what's the application?"
Well Richard Windsor, a senior technology analyst at Normura Group, has answered that question, indicating that Sammy plans to include foldable displays in future devices. Specifically, Normura's Asian analysts have indicated that the manufacturer is expected to use foldable display technology to entirely eliminate the appearance of side bezels around a smartphone screen.
The mind behind Stick It! and AirCalc has released another innovative app, introducing OverSkreen to the Android Market today. OverSkreen is a floating browser app, allowing users to browse the web on top of just about any app and move, resize, or close browser panes at will.
OverSkreen may seem too good to be true, but the browser has a robust set of functions. OverSkreen supports Adobe Flash (on devices running Android 3.0+), system-wide bookmarks, multiple instances (panes), various user agents, and "suggest-while-typing" URL bar.
Regal Cinemas, the largest cinema circuit in the US, recently got its own official Android App. The app brings a ton of easy functionality to your Android-powered device, allowing users to look up individual movies, read plot synopses, watch trailers, and order tickets with a credit card or Regal Crown Club number. The app also helps users find theaters and show times, and includes a handy click-to-call feature, as well as the ability to get directions using Google Maps.
Holy cow. The Android version name rumor-mill has been cranking at full steam for the last couple of months, and everyone seems pretty well-convinced that Jelly Bean is the chosen title for Google's next iteration of the mobile operating system. Way back in September, The Verge suggested that a "reliable source" had told them Jelly Bean was the real McCoy. Let's talk about what we know about Google's naming strategy so far with Android, and why anything but Jelly Bean would make almost no sense.
According to a new document acquired by Droid Life, the DROID Fighter and LG Cayman (which, according to DL, is the LG Lucid 4G) are slated for official releases starting later this month. The LG Cayman is poised to debut March 29th, while the DROID Fighter will be appearing April 12th. Interestingly, the release dates shown match exactly with the workshop dates we reported a couple of weeks ago.
In addition to the LG Cayman and DROID Fighter, the document lists a couple of new devices – the HTC Fireball (which Droid Life's sources are calling the Incredible 4G), and the Samsung Plato, which Droid Life last saw way back in August, listed for a January release.
As the Galaxy S II is one of the best-selling Android devices to date, it's no surprise that many users are eagerly awaiting an update to Android 4.0. Samsung has already confirmed that it is in the works, and we've even seen a leaked build of what it could look like, but we've yet to hear an exact date that users can actually expect the update to roll out on.
Fortunately, Samsung Israel has taken to Facebook to announce that versions of the device in Israel - both unlocked and carrier-branded - will receive the update on March 15.
Roku owners, rejoice! An official app is now available in the Market that lets you use your Android device as a remote control for your Roku box as long as both are on the same Wi-Fi network.
The app allows you to navigate your Roku box from afar, including launching channels, control media playback, and finding new channels. It also offers text entry via your devices on-screen keyboard, as well as back and options buttons.
