Stefan, Dwarven Forge
We would like to extent a sincerely thank you to all loyal Kickstarter backers who pledged over $2.1 million for our Caverns Kickstarter project. The outpouring of support is trully amazing, and we are humbled by your enthusiasm.
Jeff & Stefan
We are happy to report that shipping is underway for our Kickstarter Game Tiles project. By the end of October, all backers should be sent their orders, and at that time you will receive an email with your tracking number. If you have any questions regarding your shipment, please CLICK HERE.
(Open to North American Kickstarter Backers ONLY)
At long last our Dwarven Forge paints are ready for purchase.
Starting now, you can buy a four-pack (one generous 4 ounce bottle each of four specially mixed colors) for $29. Shipping with your Game Tiles order is included.
We think you'll love these paints. Stefan mixed the colors himself to achieve his desired finish and to coordinate with our Expertly Painted sets. He also formulated the viscosity of these water-based acrylics specifically for painting Game Tiles. They don't need to be diluted (which waters down the pigments), and you don't need to prime your pieces.
Check out the Intro video here: http://youtu.be/tdzruFsrv1U
We regret that this offer is available only to backers in North America. The deadline to order is September 10th!
To learn more – and get your when supplies last, please click here to jump directly to the paint order page at:
Thanks very much,
Jeff Martin
We just aired in several boxes of Game Tiles – including all of the Add-On Packs – to display at Gen Con Indy. We'll be at booth (#1413) and will have special demo tables set up so you can try these brand new pieces firsthand. We hope to see you there!
If you missed our Kickstarter campaign and you're visiting Gen Con, you can pre-order Game Tiles sets and add-on packs for delivery in December. All Gen Con orders over $100 include free shipping inside the USA.
Expect an announcement next month about our specially formulated Game Tiles paints, available for purchase to ship with your Kickstarter order. Stefan is finishing up his tests now, and we look forward to introducing it soon.
Production remains on schedule, and we still expect to ship all Kickstarter orders in October. Our continued thanks for your support and enthusiasm. We look forward to seeing all these Game Tiles sets in action!
Jeff Martin & Stefan Pokorny
Check out our latest Kickstarter Update! Everything seems to be on schedule for an October delivery.
If you're a Game Tiles Kickstarter Backer and you have not received an e-mail order confirmation from Dwarven Forge (not from Kickstarter), there's a good chance we don't have your shipping address or there's a loose end with your order that will prevent us from shipping. We've sent several e-mails to each such customer (to your Kickstarter e-mail address), but some of you have not yet replied.
We want to fix these issues, so please help by contacting us as soon as you can at
. Or call me at the number at the top of the page.

InfoComm 08 in Review
Aug 1, 2008 12:00 PM, By Trevor Boyer
Newsworthy AV products and trends at this year's show.
AMX was busy this year. Perhaps most intriguing for integrators, the company is leveraging its own technology to make it easy to set up control systems. With AMXmeetingroom, integrators can generate a program file for a room's control system by simply answering a series of questions on a Modero touchpanel about the intended functions of the room. The company also announced its acquisition of U.K.-based IPTV software manufacturer Atrium Group Developments and its flagship Vision2 software. The content-management system could be a solution for hotels, colleges and corporate campuses, or residential buildings for the Internet- or intranet-based storage and retrieval of both on-demand and live video.
On its AutoPatch side, AMX introduced 72 new fixed-matrix switchers ranging from 32 I/Os to 64 I/Os. The Octaire line is designed for analog video distribution (composite, S-Video, component, and RGBHV via BNC connections). It is set to replace the 8Y series. AMX touts the compactness of the line (4RU enclosures) and its ease of installation.
Crestron introduced 70 new products. Here are just a couple highlights of that massive rollout. First is the Isys TPS-6X 6in. touchpanel, a full-motion videopanel that communicates via Cresnet or Ethernet (wired) and via RF and IR (wireless). The new Media Presentation Controller (MPC) line of classroom systems connect, control, and route AV presentation equipment for one-projector applications. Crestron also previewed its new software designed to harvest data on energy use, efficiency, and cost for all the systems run by Crestron panels in a particular building. Green Light software can calculate carbon output and energy savings over a period of a few months up to five years.
Extron Electronics demonstrated the long-awaited new version of its GlobalViewer AV system monitoring and control application, GlobalViewer Enterprise. Instead of clicking through a succession of web pages to check multiple rooms, users now can see the rooms of a whole building on one screen. Lamp times, power states, and connection status are all displayed along with scheduling and other information.
The Sansonic HNB Digital Communication System — introduced a few years ago — added video, infrared control, and wireless microphone capability this year. The system comprises various combinations of wall-mounted modules for specific functions. These install in standard electrical wall-mount boxes, and they can be fitted out with familiar household trim plates. Inputs can be wired or wireless. System setup is so easy that the company says the first commercial installation was done before the manual was written.
Fiberplex unveiled its LightViper Shadow combined-media transport system for audio, video, and control signals over fiber in high-density combinations. There's the capability to send up to 256 bidirectional audio signals or 128 channels of video, sound, intercom, and control data. Consisting of the MP16 Audio Module and the STP64 Combined Media System, the Shadow uses three 2.5GHz bandwidth master multiplexers — and all optics are SFP-connected.
Communications Specialties introduced its Pure Digital Fiberlink 3150 series for carrying HD-SDI video via fiber in industry-standard SMPTE 292 and 259 with or without embedded audio. The system reclocks the input signal to maximize stability at the input prior to transmission and offers a reclocked SDI loop-through and two reclocked and equalized SDI outputs.
Premier Mounts had quite an eye-catching new custom mount at the show: a suspension cable mount that hung Panasonic's huge 103in. plasma screen from the ceiling. The 200lb. SCM-103 has a maximum weight capacity of 1,600lbs. Another option, and perhaps even more impressing from an engineering perspective: the TWM-103, a tilt wall mount for the same huge screen. Appealing to a much wider audience of integrators, Premier also introduced the PDS and PDS Plus line of projector mounts designed for educational installations. Supporting projectors weighing up to 75lbs., the new mounts feature a low-profile universal mount and have four-axis tilt and rotational adjustments, with a 33-degree tilt range (+/-16.5 degrees) and a 15-degree roll range (+/-7.5 degrees).
Peerless showcased its PRG Precision Gear Projector Mount at InfoComm. The product allows easy image alignment via the adjustment of two knobs — pull the handles out, adjust tilt with one hand, and roll with the other.
Chief Manufacturing introduced MountBuilder, which it's calling "a visual product configurator" for dealers and installers. It's available online at chiefmfg.com/mountbuilder. In terms of new hardware, Chief introduced the innovative Fusion Mounting System, with sliding bars to help eliminate stud-placement and centering problems.

Prime 9: Chillest Brewer Bros
milwaukee brewers August 6th, 2012
Whenever I'm bored and can't find anything to watch on TV I always switch over to the MLB Network to see what's going on. Most of the time it's just a rerun of the previous night's highlights that gets old in about five minutes, but sometimes they show their original program Prime 9. It's essentially a countdown show that features lots of old footage and talking heads, but the talking heads treat the material with respect and the host isn't annoying. It's usually a fun time.
Unfortunately, it hardly ever features the Brewers and why should it? A list of the 9 greatest World Series moments ever shouldn't include the Milwaukee Brewers nor should the 9 greatest third basemen. As much as I love the Milwaukee Brewers I wouldn't exactly call our history "storied." But that doesn't mean they are without merit. Despite the lack of success I think the Milwaukee Brewers are by far the coolest team to follow in all of the land. The Yankees are like following Berkshire Hathaway, ollowing the Nationals is like following Nickelback and you'd have more fun following the wheelchair kid from Glee after the show ends than following the Cubs.
The Milwaukee Brewers aren't only an awesome baseball team that is going to be awesome again real soon (as soon as this season is over), but they are also a great time. Why? Because the Milwaukee Brewers always have some of the chillest bros in all of baseball on their squad and in honor of those bros we now present to you the 9 Chillest Brewer Bros of all time.

Honda Civic Hybrid Dash & Instrumentation Questions
Posts: 2
Has anyone had the IMA battery level gauge on their Hybrid show more than six "units"? The gauge on my recently acquired '06 Hybrid usually fluctuates between four and six "units" but has never risen above six, even after a few hours of driving.
fourthcivic Posts: 2
hchlove Posts: 1This is normal. The batteries last longest if they're never fully charged, so the computer tries to keep them between 60 and 80%. (Making possible the 80,000 mile proration warranty, I suppose.) The other night I saw my 2006 charge full for the first time since we got it -- and it was after a lot of coasting.
Cheers -
marc19 Posts: 1Source: Civic Hybrid Owners Manual
For the first 8,000 miles (12,800km) after the Maintenance Required Indicator is reset, it will come on for two seconds when you turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Between 8,000 miles (12,800km) and 10,000 miles (16,000km) this indicator will light for two seconds when you first turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and then flash for ten seconds.
If you exceed 10,000 miles (16,000km) without having the scheduled maintenance performed, this indicator will remain on as a constant reminder.
Your dealer will reset this indicator after completing the scheduled maintenance. If this maintenance is done by someone other than your Honda dealer, reset the indicator as follows:
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Press and hold the select/reset button on the instrument panel, then turn the ignition switch ON (II).
3. Hold the button until the indicator resets (approximately ten seconds).
The following is NOT in the Civic Hybrid Owners Manual:
NOTE: The select/reset button is the one you use to view the Main/A/B odometers. It is located below and to the right of the speedometer. Also, if you look at the ignition switch you will notice the three positions are marked I, II and III. If you start the car while performing this procedure you turned the key too far. Turn the engine OFF and try again stopping at position II. Hold the select/reset button long enough and you will be rewarded by the light going out.
Alternatively, a small piece of black electrical tape may be used to cover the indicator light. (Just kidding). -
kemtid Posts: 6Thanks for the Hint. Its been bugging since my last oil change by the dealer after he charged my $42.00 for the oil & Filter change. I was so MAD I couldn't stop thinking about it. I am now going to do the next oil change myself and was again wondering How to turn off that indicator light. I had hoped it was something similiar to the Odyssey procedure, but I thinks its a bit different. Thanks again.

2003 Civic Hybrid #1 Sold in 2003 with 50K miles for $13K -
irisheyes785 Posts: 19Every since I purchased my 2003 Civic Hybrid in 2006 I have heard this annoying rattling sound under the dash. It sounds like it's coming from near the passenger air bag. It is usually at speeds between 5 and 35 mph and worse on certain surfaces. I read about other Honda models having rattling noises, but does anyone else have a similar problem with their Civic Hybrid? I am wondering if just my bad luck or if it's a defect with the hybrid. (like the bad transmissions!).
I should mention, I've taken it to the dealership a few times about it and they either "can't reproduce the sound" or want to charge a bunch of money to just find out what it is.
Also, I've taken everything out of the glove box and tightened screws and bolts in the door and anywhere around there that i can find. So I know it's nothing of mine rattling around. (that's another thing they tried to tell me is the cause of the noise.) -
ctesti Posts: 1Hi,
I brought my Honda civic 2003 hybrid to MIDAS for oil change/front break pads change and since then the current fuel mileage display stopped working.
Reading the manual you can supposedly turn it on/off by pressing the reset button 10 seconds with the key on position "II", which is also how they did turn off the maintenance light. Unfortunately they tried everything to turned it back on but the instant fuel mileage indicator refuses to show up.
Any suggestion? This indicator is really useful to save gas.

PF_Flyer Pennsylvania Furnace, PAPosts: 6,139By checking the cap I assume you made sure it was turned enough to seal it. With the light still on youmay simply need to replace the gas cap as it apparently is not sealing properly. That's the simplest and cheapest explanation and that's where I'd start.

I am not talking the nastiness that children take on at that age. I am talking the terrible twos as in the hideousness we call a two game series, because we have two of them coming up in San Francisco. Why, why, why? Before I head off to watch a Little League game and miss the beginning of this one, I offer you 10 Reasons I Hate the Terrible Twos:
10. The series can tie. I'm not a terribly completive person… okay fine. I kindasorta am. The thought of tying a series is somewhat nauseating to me.
9. Just when I start to get used to a team being in town (because it does take me a little while) and figure out all the new guys in the lineup, boom. They're on a plane to Tahiti. Or Kansas. Or something.
8. If Carlos Beltran misses one game due to a "barking knee" – whatever the heck that means or boy, am I glad we did not sign the guy with the barking knee because I like to sleep and I live within fifteen miles of San Francisco so I might, you know, hear it at night – that means he may only play one game here. Granted, slightly circumstantial reason, but still.
7. It's not the baseball way, guys. Shall I play the nostalgia card? Oh yes, I shall.
6. The factual inaccuracies on my blog skyrocket. Observe: I blog about Game 3 and hit "Publish" before I have time to remember, right, there is no game 3. Readers snicker at me and promptly stop being readers of this blog. I go to my lawyers because I want to sue MLB for all of this, but my lawyers tell me my case is weak. Crushed, I go get a job at a fast food restaurant and spend the rest of my life opening frozen French fry packages. All because of two game series.
5. A fairy dies every time there is a two game series. Seriously. (Not seriously seriously. Just seriously.)
4. On the contrary, an angel gets its wings every time MLB contemplates a two game series, but decides against it. Incentives, incentives.
3. No, really, it's not the baseball way. Nostalgia is an important tool. Martin Lindstrom agrees with me. Or maybe I agree with Martin Lindstrom. I mean, which came first: the egg or the chicken?
2. We don't get to really know how we match up against them September-hot Rockies and them defending World Champs. Granted, at the end of the two game set, I may be thankful for that. But since we try to be optimistic over here, I am just going to assume the opposite. 'K? 'K.
1. My fish gives me the suspicious eyebrow every time I update him on the Giants and there's a two game series in the future. I might be projecting or something, seeing as fish don't really have eyebrows, but I still think MLB should take this under consideration.

Injured Bulls guard Derrick Rose puts in work after practice
By SETH GRUEN For Sun-Times Media December 10, 2012 7:52PM
Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose works out before an NBA basketball game between the Bulls and the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012, in Chicago. Rose is recovering from torn ligaments in his left knee. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)
Article Extras
Updated: January 12, 2013 6:20AM
When Derrick Rose will return is still uncertain, but he looked well on his way to recovery after Monday's practice when he did individual shooting drills with assistant coach Ron Adams.
Rose initially shot with a medicine ball as he does in preparation for games, then he worked some stationary shooting and even took some turnaround jump shots. He looked to have good stability on the injured right knee and was able to turn on both legs.
"I'm just glad he's doing good," Kirk Hinrich said. "It seems like his spirits are up. No one wants to push him or anything,art but I'm excited he's feeling better."
Finding his stroke
Getting starter's minutes has helped to jump-start the slow-starting Marco Belinelli.
Belinelli is playing for injured guard Rip Hamilton. Over the last three games, Belinelli is averaging 20.3 points. He has played at least 40 minutes in each of those games.
"He's been a very good starter, he's been very good off the bench and he's experienced," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "I think he's gotten more comfortable; he's getting extended minutes and he's playing very well."
Setting priorities
Tuesday's game against the visiting Clippers begins a stretch of four games in five nights. The Bulls went 3-1 in the just-completed four-game, five-day stretch.
That doesn't allow for much practice time, which has forced Thibodeau to prioritize.
"We worked on a lot of things," Thibodeau said. "The tough thing about four games in five days is that you don't have practice time. You have to be well-balanced. If you're not sound on offense, you're putting them in the open floor."

Honest Foods (now called Earnest Eats) has a name that makes me smile because, in the end, don't we all just wish that foods would be honest to us, feed our bodies with honest nutrition and come from the hands of honest people?! The idea of Granola planks really captivated my interest. Honest Foods says, "With Honest Foods Granola Planks, all that stands between you and a zillion yummy clusters are your own capable fingers. Crumble over yogurt for a delicious breakfast. Pop in your pocket for an on-the-go snack. Toast and top with almond butter. The best part is that since our granola is exposed to less air, the flavors are locked in until you break them up. You'll smell and taste the difference as soon as you open the package." Well, I had me a Honest Foods Maple Almond Crunch Plank and I couldn't wait to try it.
The planks of granola are not crunchy and hard, as you might expect, but are deliciously compact with flavorful, all natural ingredients melding together for a smooth and chewy overall mouth feel. Each bite possesses a nice chew and thorough flavor that brings visions of my mom's holiday maple nut fudge dancing in my head. You will spot chunks of various nuts, plump dried fruit (which is like little pockets of sweet jam when you heat up the bar) and plenty of grains with every bite you take (or crumble you make). The sweetness is just perfectly satisfying and amplifies any product that you combine it with.
Each package of Honest Foods Maple Almond Crunch Plank contains 2 pieces - each is considered 1/2 of a plank. Each one provides 190 calories and 7 grams of fat (11% of the daily value), which comes from all natural sources like nuts, with just a touch of canola oil added to bring the bar together. Furthermore, the 3 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein in each half of a plank will keep more than just your taste buds satisfied. Everything on the ingredient list is legit and worthy of fueling my body.
These planks are great crumbled over ice cream or yogurt, as an oatmeal topper, popping out of the toaster or microwave and straight from the wrapper, plus these bars are perfect post-workout fuel or a great replacement for a sinful cookie craving (trust me, Honest Foods' creations are better than any cookie I have ever had). They are well worth their price of $2.99 and I would purchase this vegan-friendly treat again very soon!

Jona Teddy Bear:
Measurements: 11" H
Care: Surface washable
Material: Mohair
Care: Surface washable
Brand: Steiff
Origin: Germany
Who knows children's toys better than the inventors of the teddy bear? Steiff, the world's oldest plush manufacturer (and the company best known for creating the teddy bear) was founded in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, a seamstress who, due to polio, was limited to sewing with one hand. The famous "Button in Ear" trademark was introduced in 1904 by Franz Steiff, Margarete's nephew, distinguishing every Steiff toy. While nearly all of the world's stuffed animals is made with inexpensive knitted plush, Steiff's creations are made from cuddly soft materials like woven fur, so you can be sure your tot is getting the very best.

Can a vanilla box rental apartment become a warm, inviting and beautiful home? This is the question I get asked from clients who are down-sizing or trying out a new city for retirement. And the answer is "yes." I have worked with many clients who move from large living spaces, need to keep some furniture, get rid of alot and create rooms that feel like home again.
Take a look at this before-and-after master bedroom project (below). There are many ideas that will give you inspiration for your own home, whether you are moving or just want an update. A home makeover can turn a lackluster space to bright and sunny.

NHL, players reach deal; Toews calls pact 'bittersweet'

The NHL lockout is finally ending.
"I'm really happy that this is over," said Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews. "...I'm excited to play hockey again although it's bittersweet because a lot of damage was done to our game. As players, we need to keep showing our fans we care. We might have a long road ahead of us there, but for now it's great to know we'll be back on the ice very soon."
Toews said players who took part in the bargaining deserve much of the credit because they "worked very hard to get a deal done."
The Sun-Times has learned that Patrick Kane is in the process of making his way back to Chicago from Switzerland, where he was playing for EHC-Biel during the lockout.
NHL players are expecting a three- or four-day mini camp and no exhibition games before the shortened season starts.
After a 16-hour marathon bargaining session at the Sofitel Hotel in New York on Saturday that ran deep into Sunday morning, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and NHL union chief Don Fehr announced that the two sides had tentatively agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, ending the 113-day lockout.
"Don Fehr and I are here to tell you that we have reached an agreement on the framework of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, the details of which need to be put to paper," Bettman told reporters in New York early Sunday morning. "We have to dot a lot of I's and cross a lot of T's. There is still a lot of work to be done, but the basic framework has been agreed upon."
Bettman said more details would be announced later in the day. But the season is expected to be either 50 or 48 games, with all games being played against conference opponents. The season is expected to begin by Jan. 19.
"Any process like this in the system we have is difficult. It can be long," Fehr said. "I've said repeatedly throughout this process that, somebody would say, 'What do you see ahead?' And, the answer was, 'You get up tomorrow and you try to find a way to do it and you keep doing that until you find a way to succeed. As Gary has just indicated, we have the framework of a deal."
Fehr said he hoped all the legal wrangling and final approvals will take place "fairly rapidly."
"Hopefully in just a very few days, the fans can get back to watching people who are skating, and not just the two of us," Fehr said.

Marion Weerasuriya of Olde World Design Group grew up in
I'm big on historical accuracy: Because the proportions and overall scale are correct. Even if people aren't educated in this, they can walk in a building and feel whether it's right or not.
In Villa del Paradiso: The front entry is over 21,000 pounds of hand-carved travertine; the master bath is six feet long, carved out of one solid piece of marble; and the fireplace mantel in the grand room is an exact replica in marble of a 17th-century piece Addison Mizner found in Italy.
My one essential design element: Adding some older, authentic pieces—they immediately root and establish the design. We used reclaimed lighting from homes in
My own home: Is really rather simple, modern in overall architecture, but the antiques display like museum pieces.
My most precious possession: I just love this one unbelievable 18th-century chinoiserie cabinet that I had sent over from
If you want to incorporate antiques in your design: Find a period and style you love, then train your eye by buying auction house catalogues that specialize in these periods. That way you get exposed to the best from all over the world. As long as you buy quality pieces, you'll never get in trouble, and as long as you love it, you can enjoy it in any atmosphere.
What's next? Marcia and Paulene are looking for a new beautiful piece of waterfront property for my next project. —Ilene Denton

I have never been a fan of this cross-country zig zag and believe some place like Texas or Kansas should be scheduled between a race in some place like Florida and Phoenix.
Used to be. Up until 2005 they went from Daytona to Rockingham. That was easy as it was just an hour or two from most shops. The big teams already had their Phoenix cars loaded up and were going to leave on schedule no matter when the 500 was run. The smaller teams don't have multiple haulers and can't do that.

Insomnia. Just this word all by itself strikes more fear in the souls of most than our first (really) scary movie. As of today, 50 percent of American women report having sleep problems several nights per week. The average woman sleeps approximately six hours and 41 minutes per night during the work week.
Over the past century, sleep time has decreased by about 20%. More than 70 million people in the U.S. are affected by a chronic or intermittent sleep disorder and insomnia is the most common of these. If a lack of sleep becomes chronic, it can be a problem. Insomnia can result in decreased concentration and memory, an increase in accidents, depression and weight gain, as well as a greater risk for cardiovascular disease. When one falls asleep past 10pm, your internal clock – which regulates your circadian rhythms – can flip or move out of normal sequence causing the aforementioned problems.
The brain requires four full stages of sleep:
REM cycle 1 is light sleep
REM cycle 2 is so called 'true sleep;
REM cycles 3 and 4 are deep 'slow wave' or delta sleep
A balance or lack thereof between certain hormones – particularly stress and growth hormones – seems to be linked to deep sleep cycles. By-passing through each REM cycle, waking becomes more difficult. There are different types of insomnia to consider:
Transient – lasts for a few days
Short term – lasts for no more than three weeks
Chronic – lasts for a month or more and impairs normal daily functioning
Primary Chronic – this is when it is the sole complaint of the individual
Secondary Chronic – caused by medical or psychiatric conditions, drugs or emotional disorders
Given that 80 percent of women report that premenstrual symptoms involve insomnia, this has become epidemic for baby boomers. What to do? First, darken your bedroom and keep your bedroom rather cool. Turn your backlit alarm away from your line of vision. Cover all TVs and computers so absolutely no light can penetrate. Your brain is activated by light, however ambient or dim.
Do not eat a heavy, late meal as your body should be detoxing and repairing – not digesting.
Consider divorcing caffeine and nicotine. As we grow older, our ability to move these stimulants through the system can become less efficient, hence keeping us up at night.
If your partner snores or tosses and turns, move to another quiet location.
Steroids, diuretics, anti-depressants and chemo drugs can all contribute to sleep problems.
Give up TV, the computer and cell phone texting 30 minutes before bedtime as all stimulate the cortex.
Avoid alcohol for four to six hours prior to bedtime.
If you have sleep apnea, try sleeping on your side to lessen snoring which can keep you from experiencing the last two deep sleep cycles. Also, try not to nap during the day.
Check your melatonin levels. If it is low, take one to five to ten milligrams of melatonin before bed.
I have a few other favorite products to help remedy insomnia as well. The magnesium in CAL/MAG 1001 from Douglas Labs tends to put the brain and body in sleep mode. Three at bedtime does the trick. For tougher cases, add two Serenagen from Metagenics. These two together works with approximately 90-95 percent of my clients. For my toughest, long term insomniacs, I recommend Theanine Serene with GABA by Source Naturals. This will act as a Nerf bat to the brain, noodlizing your zippy frontal cortex into all four REM cycles.

First Known Use of EYE
noun \ˈī\ (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of EYE
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Organ that receives light and visual images. Non-image forming, or direction, eyes are found among worms, mollusks, cnidarians, echinoderms, and other invertebrates; image-forming eyes are found in certain mollusks, most arthropods, and nearly all vertebrates. Arthropods are unique in possessing a compound eye, which results in their seeing a multiple image that is partially integrated in the brain. Lower vertebrates such as fish have eyes on either side of the head, allowing a maximum view of the surroundings but producing two separate fields of vision. In predatory birds and mammals, binocular vision became more important. Evolutionary changes in the placement of the eyes permitted a larger overlap of the two visual fields, resulting in the higher mammals in a parallel line of direct sight. The human eye is roughly spherical.

About wrencher52's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I grew up around "hot rods". My older brother had a 36 Ford 2 door back in the 50s with a hopped up flathead that had 2 97's on it and "smitty" mufflers. It was hot and I have been hooked ever since.
I have had around 50 cars over the years with a few muscle cars I wished I would have kept including a 69 Road Runner, 67 Chevelle SS396 and a 67 Mustang GT 390. I own a 68 Corvette 427, 4 speed that I have owned for almost 30 years and it is completely restored albeit a little modified. I also love to ride motorcycles and have been doing that as long as I have driven.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency.

For Immediate Release

Asheville Regional Airport
Asheville, North Carolina
THE PRESIDENT: Hello, Asheville! (Applause.) It is good to be back
in Asheville, North Carolina! (Applause.) I love Asheville. In fact, I
think I should be on the tourism promotion bureau of Ashville.
(Applause.) Every time I meet somebody I say, have you guys gone down to
Asheville? (Applause.) That's a nice place to be. So it is wonderful to
be back in one of my favorite parts of the country. Our family has great
memories of staying here, and it's always nice to get out of Washington --
(laughter) -- and breathe some of that mountain air. (Applause.)
I want to recognize a couple people who are here. First of all, one of
the outstanding senators in the United States Senate, your Senator, Kay
Hagan, is in the house. (Applause.) Kay's daughter just got married this
weekend, so, congratulations to Kay's daughter. We are so thrilled by
And we also have your lovely and intelligent Mayor of Asheville, Terry
Bellamy, is in the house. (Applause.) The last time I was here Terry
said she could play basketball. And so we went out -- it turned out she
was a cheerleader and not a basketball player. (Laughter.) But she's
doing an outstanding job overall. Thank you both for coming.
Now, as you may have noticed, I came here on a plane. It's a pretty nice
plane. But I'm leaving on a bus. (Applause.) The bus is pretty hard to
miss. And over the next few days, we are going to take this bus through
North Carolina and Virginia and I'm going to get a chance to hear from
folks about how they're doing, what direction they want to take the
country in.
And I'll be doing a little bit of talking, but mostly I'm going to do a
whole lot of listening -- because there doesn't seem to be much listening
going on in Washington these days. (Applause.) People don't seem to be
paying much attention to the folks who sent them there in the first
place. And that's a shame. Because once you escape the partisanship and
the political point-scoring in Washington, once you start really start
listening to the American people, it's pretty clear what our country and
your leaders should be spending their time on.
AUDIENCE: Jobs!
THE PRESIDENT: We should be talking about jobs. When you hear what's
going on out in the country, when you take the time to listen, you
understand that a lot of folks are hurting out there. Too many people are
looking for work. Too many families are looking for that sense of
security that's been slipping away for the past decade, now.
Here in North Carolina, you've got thousands of construction workers who
lost their jobs when the housing bubble burst. Some of those
construction workers are here today. They've got experience. They've got
skills. All they want is to be back on the job site doing what they do
best. (Applause.)
And there is plenty of work to go around. In this airport right here in
Asheville, you've got a runway that needs to be widened and repaired.
You've got a taxiway that's in the wrong spot -- which means that planes
sometimes get too close together. So we could be doing some work right
here at the Asheville Airport that would help boost tourism, help to boost
the economy here, put people to work right now. (Applause.)
But it's not just here in Asheville. All across the state, you've got
highways that need to be built. You've got bridges that need to be
fixed. You've got schools that need to be modernized. (Applause.) And
that's what America used to do best. We used to build things -- built the
Transcontinental Railroad; built the Golden Gate Bridge; the Hoover Dam;
the Grand Central Station. There's no reason why we should sit here and
watch the best highways and the newest airports being built in China. We
should be building them right here in the United States of America.
(Applause.) Right here in North Carolina. (Applause.)
Now, our problems were a long time in the making -- we're not going to
solve them overnight. But there are things we can do right now to put
people back to work -- right now. There are things we should do right now
to give the economy the jolt that it needs. So that's why I sent Congress
the American Jobs Act. (Applause.)
AUDIENCE: Thank you!
THE PRESIDENT: Keep in mind -- keep in mind, Asheville, this is the kind
of bill containing the kinds of proposals that in the past have received
support from Democrats and Republicans. It's completely paid for -- by
asking our wealthiest citizens, folks making more than a million dollars a
year, to pay their fair share. (Applause.)
Independent economists -- not my economists, but independent economists --
have said this jobs bill would create nearly 2 million jobs. That's not
my opinion. It's not the opinion of folks who work for me. It's the
opinion of people who evaluate these kinds of things for a living. It
says this bill will help put people back to work and give our economy a
boost right away.
But apparently none of this matters to the Republicans in the Senate --
because last week they got together to block this bill. They said no to
putting teachers and construction workers back on the job. They said no
to rebuilding our roads and our bridges and our airports. They said no to
cutting taxes for middle-class families and small businesses when all
they've been doing is cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans.
AUDIENCE: Booo --
THE PRESIDENT: They said no to helping veterans find jobs.
Essentially, they said no to you -- because it turns out one poll found
that 63 percent of Americans support the ideas in this jobs bill.
(Applause.) So 63 percent of Americans support the jobs bill that I put
forward; 100 percent of Republicans in the Senate voted against it. That
doesn't make any sense, does it?
AUDIENCE: No!
THE PRESIDENT: No, it does not.
Now, it turns out that the Republicans have a plan, too. I want to be
fair. They call -- they put forward this plan last week. They called it
the "Real American Jobs Act." The "real one" -- that's what they called
it -- just in case you were wondering. (Laughter.) So let's take a look
at what the Republican American jobs act looks like. It turns out the
Republican plan boils down to a few basic ideas: They want to gut
regulations; they want to let Wall Street do whatever it wants.
AUDIENCE: Booo --
THE PRESIDENT: They want to drill more.
AUDIENCE: Booo --
THE PRESIDENT: And they want to repeal health care reform.
AUDIENCE: Booo --
THE PRESIDENT: That's their jobs plan.
So let's do a little comparison here. The Republican plan says that
what's been standing in the way between us and full employment are laws
that keep companies from polluting as much as they want. On the other
hand, our plan puts teachers, construction workers, firefighters and
police officers back on the job. (Applause.)
Their plan says the big problem we have is that we helped to get 30
million Americans health insurance. They figure we should throw those
folks off the health insurance rolls; somehow that's going to help people
find jobs.
AUDIENCE: Booo --
THE PRESIDENT: Our plan says we're better off if every small business and
worker in America gets a tax cut, and that's what's in my jobs bill.
(Applause.) Their plan says we should go back to the good old days before
the financial crisis when Wall Street was writing its own rules. They
want to roll back all the reforms that we've put into place.
AUDIENCE: No!
THE PRESIDENT: Our plan says we need to make it easier for small
businesses to grow and hire and push this economy forward. (Applause.)
All right, so you've gotten a sense -- you got their plan, and then we got
my plan. My plan says we're going to put teachers back in the classroom;
construction workers back to work rebuilding America, rebuilding our
schools -- (applause) -- tax cuts for small businesses; tax cuts for
hiring veterans; tax cuts if you give your worker a raise. (Applause.)
That's my plan.
And then you got their plan, which is let's have dirtier air, dirtier
AUDIENCE: Booo --
THE PRESIDENT: Less people with health insurance.
AUDIENCE: Booo --
THE PRESIDENT: All right so, so far at least, I feel better about my
plan. (Laughter and applause.) But let's admit I'm a little biased. So
remember those independent economists who said our plan would create jobs,
maybe as many as almost 2 million jobs, grow the economy by as much as 2
percent? So one of the same economists that took a look at our plan took
a look at the Republican plan, and they said, well, this won't do much to
help the economy in the short term -- it could actually cost us jobs. We
could actually lose jobs with their plan.
So I'll let you decide which plan is the real American Jobs Act.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Obama's plan!
AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years!
THE PRESIDENT: Look, I appreciate the "four more years," but right now
I'm thinking about the next 13 months. (Applause.) Because, yes, we've
got an election coming up, but that election is a long ways away, and a
lot of folks can't wait. A lot of folks are living paycheck to paycheck.
A lot of folks are living week to week. You've got kids right now who've
lost their teachers because at the local level you ended up having
layoffs. You've got bridges right now that are crumbling and
deteriorating. So we don't have time to wait. And we've got a choice
right now -- right now.
Look, I want to work with Republicans on ways to create jobs right now.
And where they've got a decent idea I'm happy to work with them. Just
last week, we passed a bipartisan trade agreement with Korea that will
allow us to sell more goods overseas and support almost 70,000 jobs here
at home. Because my attitude is if we're buying Hyundais and Kias, I want
them buying some Fords and Chryslers and Chevys. (Applause.)
So if they're serious about creating jobs, I'm ready to go. I don't think
anybody doubts that I have gone out of my way to try to find areas of
cooperation with these Republicans. (Applause.) In fact, some of you
have been mad at me for trying too hard to cooperate with them, haven't
you? (Applause.) Some of you -- I get some of your letters and your
emails. You're all like, why are you cooperating with them all the time?
Because it can't be all about politics. Sometimes we've got to try to
actually get something done. And so I'm eager to see them stand up with a
serious approach to putting people back to work.
It's time to focus less on satisfying some wing of the party and more on
common-sense ideas that we can take to people to work right now and help
the middle class -- and help people get into the middle class, because
there are a whole bunch of folks who are hurting out there and have never
gotten the opportunity.
So we're going to give members of Congress another chance to step up to
the plate and do the right thing. Kay and I, we've decided let's go ahead
and let them do the right thing one more time. We're going to give them
another chance to do their jobs by looking after your jobs.
AUDIENCE: Right now!
THE PRESIDENT: So this week, I'm asking members of Congress to vote --
what we're going to do is we're going to break up my jobs bill. Maybe
they just couldn't understand the whole all at once. (Laughter.) So
we're going to break it up into bite-size pieces so they can take a
thoughtful approach to this legislation.
So this week I'm going to ask members of Congress to vote on one component
of the plan, which is whether we should put hundreds of thousands of
teachers back in the classroom, and cops back on the street, and
firefighters back to work. (Applause.) So members of Congress will have
a chance to decide -- what kind of future do our kids deserve? Should we
stand up for men and women who are often digging into their own pockets to
buy school supplies, when we know that the education of our children is
going to determine our future as a nation? (Applause.)
They're going to have a chance to decide, do we want to make sure that
we're looking after the men and women who protect our communities every
day -- our first responders, our firefighters, our police officers?
(Applause.) And then, after they've taken that vote, we're going to give
members of Congress a chance to vote on whether we're going to put
construction workers back to work. Should they be just sitting around
while roads and bridges and runways fall apart? Or should we put them
back to work doing the work that America needs done? (Applause.)
After that, we'll give them a chance to decide whether unemployed
Americans should continue to struggle, or whether we should give them the
experience and support they need to get back in the workforce and build a
better life. And we'll ask them to take a stand on whether we should ask
people like me to pay a little more so middle-class families and small
businesses can pay a little less, and end up creating the kinds of jobs we
need in this economy. (Applause.)
So those are the choices that members of Congress are going to face in the
coming weeks. And if they vote against these proposals again -- like I
said, maybe they just didn't understand the whole thing, so we're breaking
it up into pieces. If they vote against taking steps that we know will
put Americans back to work right now --
AUDIENCE: Right now!
THE PRESIDENT: -- right now --
AUDIENCE: Right now!
THE PRESIDENT: -- then they're not going to have to answer to me.
They're going to have to answer to you. (Applause.) They're going to have
to come down to North Carolina and tell kids why they can't have their
teachers back. They're going to come down to North Carolina and look
those construction workers in the eye and tell them why they can't get to
work doing the work that America needs done. They're going to have to
come down here and explain to working families why their taxes are going
up while the richest Americans and largest corporations keep getting sweet
deals in the tax code. They're going to have to come down and explain to
you why they don't have an answer for how we're putting Americans to work
right now. (Applause.)
AUDIENCE: Right now! Right now! Right now!
THE PRESIDENT: And if they support the Republican plan -- if they support
the Republican plan, they'll have to explain to you why they'd rather deny
health care to millions of Americans and let corporations and banks write
their own rules instead of supporting proposals that we know will create
jobs right now.
So that's where all of you come in. Some of these folks just aren't
getting the message, so I need you to send them a message. I need you to
make your voices heard. I need you to give Congress a piece of your
mind. (Applause.) These members of Congress work for you. If they're
not delivering, it's time to let them know. It's time to get on the phone
and write a letter, tweet, pay a visit. Tell your elected leaders to do
the right thing. Remind them what's at stake: Putting people back to
work, restoring economic security for middle-class families and helping
create a ladder for folks who aren't middle class yet to get into the
middle class; rebuilding an economy where hard work is valued and
responsibility is rewarded, building an economy that lasts for the future
and for our children. (Applause.)
If we want to actually lower the deficit and invest in our future, if we
want the best roads and best bridges and best airports here in the United
States, if we want to continue to invest in our technology and our basic
science and research so that we can continue to invent new drugs and make
sure the new cars of the future that are running on electricity are made
right here in North Carolina and made right here in America -- if we want
to do all those things, then we got to step up. (Applause.) We got to
get to work. We got to get busy right now. (Applause.)
We can't do nothing. Too many folks are hurting out there to do nothing.
We need to act.
AUDIENCE: Right now!
THE PRESIDENT: Right now. (Applause.) We are not a people who sit by
and do nothing when things aren't right. We're Americans. If something
is not working, we go out there and fix it. We stick with it until the
problem is fixed. That's the spirit we need to muster right now.
AUDIENCE: Right now!
THE PRESIDENT: Let's meet this moment. Let's get to work. Let's show
the world once again why the United States is the greatest country on
God bless you. God bless the United States. And thank you, Asheville.
Thank you, North Carolina. (Applause.)

When Miller Christy began making the finest quality hats in London in 1773, no one could have known the quality and tradition of that bygone age would live on more than 200 years later.
It took Miller a seven year apprenticeship to learn the "art and mystery of feltmaking". Those skills have not changed and have been passed down to the current generation of hat makers.
The large red hat boxes with the "Christys' London" name embossed in gold are a familiar sight wherever quality hats are sold.
Throughout the world when people see a Christy hat, they know there has been no compromise in quality and that the hat on their head bears the tradition started by Miller Christy all those years ago.
Today the tradition carries through not only the felt making but into a wide range of products suiting the demands of the modern world. Christys' & Company LTD think Miller would be rather proud of their Riding and Dressage hats; perhaps be a little surprised at their choice of colors on some of the more fashionable Felts; they know he would greatly appreciate the casual elegance and quality of their Panama's; as far as their Baseball cap and fashion ranges are concerned, they think it best not to ask...!
Christys of London is a division of Dorfman Pacific Hats

Tuesday's Nippy Beaker
Baseball January 19th, 2010
Here's some things to read while watching Avatar porn (SFW).
Jody Gerut, Rickie Weeks and Carlos Gomez have all agreed to deals avoiding arbitration leaving Dave Bush, Carlos Villanueva, Todd Coffey and Corey Hart as the only ones remaining unsigned. I imagine Corey Hart is going to act like a punk like he did last year.
Speaking of Corey Hart, Sandra Bullock captured the Golden Globe for best actress for her role in "The Blind Side". When reached for comment Corey said that movie was "gooder than grits." I haven't seen it because I've been too busy with the site, but maybe some day. I have seen this trailer for the A-Team though which looks quite good.
The Brewers don't play the Twins in Minnesota until May, but I just might have to make the trip up there. Why? Target Field will offer walleye on a stick. Personally, I'm more of a pork chop on a stick kind of guy. I still say they should have put a roof on that place.
Speaking of roofs, popular Milwaukee restaurant Pizza Man had it's roof and the rest of it burn down. (h/t Doctors of Za)
Here's a story for everyone who has ever complained about the wait for the bathroom at Miller Park. It could be worse, you could be a ball boy at the Australian Open and pee yourself.
Around baseball:
- Mets induct two cocaine addicts to their Hall of Fame. Sounds about right.
- An earthquake caused a major tragedy in Haiti, but can't stop Jimmy Rollins' wedding.
- Do Lenny Dykstra stories ever get old? I say no.
- Charlie Manuel lost a ton of weight. Maybe I should diet....nah.
- From now on Jack Z will be known as Daddy WARbucks. That's a lot easier to spell than Zduriencik.
Looking for a new favorite player after the departures of Seth McClung, Mike Cameron and JJ Hardy? You could always join Zaunbie Nation. WARNING: Canadian rock gods Rush will start playing. Prepare to rock out.
Meanwhile, Al's Ramblings takes a break from dissing the left, making fun of old media and fantasizing about Meghan McCain to express how much he misses Seth McClung. I do too.
On this day in history Jeff Juden was born. Also, Sargent Slaughter defeated the Ultimate Warrior for the WWF title under circumstances that I would call nefarious.
Oh, and I knew there was a reason I didn't do John Cena impressions.
That's all I have for today, unless you're looking for a lesson in ownage by Jack Bauer.
Drink up.
