Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Merlin Media Updates on a Very Short Schedule
On July 31, 2011, a format switch was thrown in Chicago when WKQX became WWWN News 101.1. The all-news FM station took to the air after a fast 35-day countdown to convert the operation from a rock format to the news format, which included a fully staffed newsroom.
The format swap was the result of the station changing hands from Emmis Communications to Merlin Media. Merlin itself made headlines with the return of Randy Michaels to radio. Merlin bought three stations from Emmis, with WLUP-FM Chicago and WRXP-FM New York being the other two. Two weeks after WKQX became WNNN, WRXP became WEMP-FM News 101.9. This article focuses on the work at the Chicago station, but much of the efforts were repeated in New York as well.
Converting an existing music format station to all news isn't a simple matter of putting a new air staff in place. The two stations needed to build complete news operations. The process began when Randy Michaels tapped Mark Olkowski to be the technical consultant for Merlin Media. Olkowski then contacted Dan Braverman at Radio Systems. Olkowski has several years of experience with news radio, having been the engineering manager at CBS New York overseeing WCBS-AM (among other stations). Radio Systems worked with Olkowski at WCBS, which also led to work at KYW-AM Philadelphia, so Radio Systems, too, had experience with news radio operations. Chicago Director of Engineering Patrick Berger also had some experience with news radio from his days of working at a Milwaukee news station.
The marching orders were simple: Get the two stations ready for an all-news format. The caveat was that the project had to be done in weeks, not months. Braverman described the integration of a format change in an existing space with continuing live operations and using legacy equipment as the perfect storm of complexity.
The Chicago stations are housed in the Chicago Merchandise Mart, which is the second largest building by area in the United States (behind the Pentagon). Its 25 floors span two city blocks and have 4.2 million square feet of space, which includes business offices, retail shopping, scores of luxury boutiques and several restaurants. The studios on the second floor were built in 2000, and WLUP moved in to the space in 2005. At that time, digital routing systems were not widely deployed, so the analog systems were kept in place. That infrastructure still works fine today, and coupled with the short time frame, a complete system replacement was not part of the plan.

Medical device manufacturers that assemble devices and equipment must meet stringent FDA regulations for quality and product consistency, which makes rigorous process control essential. Fluids for medical device manufacturing can be extremely expensive. It is vital to have quality assembly equipment that generates consistent and accurate results, without fluid contamination, to avoid costly waste.
This paper discusses some common problems encountered with typical fluid dispensing systems in the medical device industry, and offers helpful tips for improving your dispense valve performance.

Title 47 published on 2014-10-01
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 47 CFR 76 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-24612 RIN MB Docket No. 12-3 FCC 14-141 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Final rule. Effective November 24, 2014. 47 CFR Part 76 In this document, the Commission eliminates the sports blackout rules for cable operators, satellite carriers, and open video systems. Elimination of the sports blackout rules will remove unnecessary and outdated regulations and remove regulatory reinforcement (and the Commission's implicit endorsement) of the NFL's private blackout policy, which deprives consumers of the ability to view on television the teams that they have subsidized through publicly-funded stadiums and other tax benefits. Elimination of the sports blackout rules may not end all sports blackouts. To the extent that the NFL (or any other sports league) chooses to continue its private blackout policy, it will no longer entitled to the protections of the sports blackout rules. Instead, it must rely on the same avenues available to any other entity that wishes to protect its distribution rights in the private marketplace.

There are all sorts of MCM fans and lovers. Some of us can splash out on a brand new bag as soon as it comes out, and some of us must save up for a few months. Then there are the ones who know straight away which bag they want from the new collection, and those - like me - who like to take their time to think about things... And end up missing out. The good news is this is not a risk anymore, as we now have a little boutique in the heart of England's Premier Luxury Outlet destination: Bicester Village.
The village is a mere 45 mn away from London by train (which you can hop on from Marylebone Station) and is the home of many designer boutiques, all promising discounts starting from 30% to over 70% off. There are many gems to be found there without hurting your wallet too much, and the experience is one of total luxury.
There are also several restaurants in Bicester Village as well as a personal shopping service, so you can be sure to find all you need in a relaxing atmosphere. I tend to go there twice a year, just to look for items I missed out on the first time around. All stock is in season too, so if you go there now, you will find mostly AW collections (starting AW12 and going back).
Our store in Bicester, just like our main boutiques in London (and the rest of the world) is opulent without being too showy and offers a friendly and relaxing atmosphere for shoppers. Our knowledgeable boutique staff will be happy to help you find the perfect bag to fit your budget too.
Current stock includes old favourites such as the Heritage Visetos range, First Lady collection and more...
First Lady Croco, Tracey and Veronika are the stars of the show.
Here is where to find the store:

Updated: December 10, 2012 6:35AM
If Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. resigns as part of a plea deal with federal prosecutors, you can expect it to set off a mad scramble to replace him with elections as early as this spring, depending on how quickly he steps down.
That presumes a lot of facts not in evidence, as the lawyers would say.
Not only has Jackson not been charged, there's no official confirmation of the Washington-based investigation reported to be closing in on the embattled 17-year congressman for alleged misuse of campaign funds.
Throw in the fact that Jackson is still hospitalized for treatment of bipolar disorder and you can understand why potential replacements are laying back. But you'd better believe that the jockeying to replace him is already well under way behind the scenes without anyone waiting for such niceties.
Even before Michael Sneed's report in Thursday's Sun-Times that Jackson is in plea discussions, potential candidates were positioning themselves for the possibility.
Now that we're past Tuesday's election, there is no longer any chance of a "switcheroo" orchestrated by Democratic Party bosses to pick a replacement candidate.
That means we would need a special election: first a primary and then a general election. When a similar vacancy arose four years ago, after Rahm Emanuel resigned his congressional seat in early December to become President Barack Obama's chief of staff, the primary was on March 3 and the general election on April 7 to coincide with already scheduled suburban elections.
Next year's suburban elections are scheduled for April 9. Holding the election in that time frame would require Jackson to resign his 2nd Congressional District seat in the next month, which seems fairly unlikely.
Any special election would shape up as a free-for-all. Anyone and everyone could jump into the race without concern over giving up their current position, usually a major consideration for public officials during a normal election cycle.
In the special election to fill Emanuel's seat, there were 12 candidates in the Democratic primary, and Mike Quigley won.
Among Democrats consistently mentioned as possible Jackson replacements are:
† Ald. Sandi Jackson: The congressman's wife is thought to be interested in keeping her husband's seat. The 7th Ward alderman is an experienced political operative with her own claim to the Jackson political base, although it's unclear whether she will emerge unscathed from his legal woes, which allegedly include using his campaign funds to decorate their Washington home.
† Jonathan Jackson: The congressman's brother, a Chicago businessman and national spokesman for their father's Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, is said to be preferred by the rest of the Jackson family over Sandi. Obviously, both couldn't run, but it might be messy for a while until they sort that out.
† Ald. Anthony Beale: The 9th Ward alderman always has been considered an ally of the Jacksons but seems to be ready to step out. Beale declined to comment.
† Sen. Toi Hutchinson: The former Olympia Fields village clerk, one of several south suburban rising stars in the Legislature, told me she has been too busy with her own re-election to look ahead, but she noted that she already represents much of the south end of the 2nd District.
† Sen. Kwame Raoul: Barack Obama's replacement in the state Senate doesn't live in the 2nd District, but he represents a large chunk of it. When I spoke to him, he sounded content to stay where he is for now.
† Napoleon Harris: The former NFL and Northwestern linebacker was elected as a state senator Tuesday, which could make a move problematic, but he is said to have both the money and the ambition.
† Robin Kelly: The former state representative, who lost a bid for state treasurer, now serves as chief administrative officer to Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. In a written statement, Kelly said her "first concern is for Jesse's health and recovery" and that she's focused on her county duties. "With that said, if the Congressman were to resign, yes, I would strongly consider my options."
† Kurt Summers: He just left a post as Preckwinkle's chief of staff to join Grosvenor Capital Management as a senior vice president, but sources say he has the political bug.
† Debbie Halvorson. Although the former congresswoman was soundly defeated by Jackson in this year's Democratic primary, she'd have a chance in a multicandidate race. "Most likely not," she told me, "But I don't close the door on anything."
If I missed anybody, I'm sure they'll let me know — in due time.
Correction: I suffered a severe brain cramp in Thursday's column and referred to Illinois GOP Chairman Pat Brady as Pat Ryan. My sincere apologies to Mr. Brady and to all the Pat Ryans.

The mediastinum is the area in the middle of the chest between the lungs. A mediastinotomy is the creation of a small opening in the upper chest into the mediastinum. This opening allows the doctor to examine the area between and in front of the lungs.
Reasons for Procedure
This procedure is done to examine the lungs and chest. Your doctor might take tissue samples ( biopsy ). These samples are examined under a microscope to check for diseases like:
- Cancer of the lungs , bronchi, and chest tissue
- Lymphoma—cancer in the lymphatic system, such as Hodgkin's disease
- Infection
- Inflammation
- Sarcoidosis —a condition that causes inflammation in organs like the lungs, liver, lymph nodes, and spleen
Mediastinotomy is also done to find out if lung cancer has spread.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Hoarseness
- Chylothorax—leakage of lymphatic fluid into the chest
- Damage to organs in the chest
- Pneumothorax (collapsed lung)
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
What to Expect
Prior to the Procedure
You will be asked to stop eating and drinking for 8-10 hours before the procedure.
You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners
- Antiplatelet drugs
On the day of the procedure:
- You will be asked to remove any jewelry, glasses, contact lenses, or dentures.
- You may be given medications to help you feel sleepy and relaxed.
- Be sure to tell your doctor if you have any allergies.
- You will need someone to drive you home after the procedure.
General anesthesia will block any pain and keep you asleep throughout the procedure. Once you are sedated, a breathing tube will be placed in your throat to help you breathe.
Description of the Procedure
- You will lie on your back on an operating table.
- Your skin will be cleaned with an antiseptic solution.
- The doctor will make a small cut in your chest.
- The doctor will move your muscles aside to examine the space between your lungs and heart.
- Tissue samples may taken from your lungs, lymph nodes, or other parts of your chest.
- When the procedure is finished, the opening will be closed with stitches.
- The wound will be covered with a dressing.
Immediately After the Procedure
After the procedure, you will be taken to the recovery room. If all is well, your breathing tube will be removed. The tissue samples will be sent to the laboratory for testing.
How Long Will It Take?
30 minutes to 2 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
This procedure can be done in an outpatient setting or as part of your hospital stay. The usual length of stay is up to 24 hours, if there are no unforeseen complications. Some people may need to stay in the hospital for 1-2 days.
Post-procedure Care
- You will be taken to the recovery room after the procedure until the anesthetic wears off.
- Your doctor may order a chest x-ray to check for bleeding or air inside your chest space.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding your healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incision
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- You may feel sleepy for several hours or even 1-2 days following anesthesia. Do not drive during this time.
You may have a sore throat from the tube placement.
- Use throat lozenges.
- Gargle with warm water.
Keep your wound clean and dry.
- Wash your hands before touching the wound.
- Use a soft washcloth to gently wipe the wound with soap and water.
- Change the dressing as instructed by your doctor.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if any of the following occur:
- Redness, swelling, pain, or bleeding from the wound
- Chest pain
- Swelling in the neck
- Difficulty swallowing
- Hoarseness that lasts more than a few days or worsens
- Shortness of breath
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Joint pain, fatigue, stiffness, rash, or other new symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Today is a very proud day to be part of the NFIB team. Today, marks the date that NFIB takes its landmark challenge of Obamacare to the Supreme Court of the United States.
NFIB has challenged the law based on the constitutionality of the individual mandate – the provision of the law that requires every individual to purchase health insurance – and believes that if this provision is struck down, the entire law should fall with it.
Streaming audio of the oral arguments before the Supreme Court will be available on the Supreme Court's website each afternoon, a few hours after arguments conclude. And of course, and as always, stay tuned here at the NFIB blog for updates!

One of the largest, most complete T. rex skeletons ever found crouches inside the museum at Black Hills Institute. Frozen in time, he seems to bare his fossilized teeth at awe-struck crowds or to grin at his favorite museum attendants. This hulking beast, known as STAN, might be the star of the show, but he's not the only reason to visit: elsewhere in the museum, the institute's paleontologists have positioned the remains of outlandish sea creatures, long-tailed land-dwellers, and fossilized minerals.

Just like the song, Old MacDonald's Farm nurtures over 100 friendly farm animals. Families flock to the farm to get up close and personal with cows and pigs, horses and chickens, rabbits and goats. And while they can give many of them a few loving strokes under the chin, kids can turn their newfound friendship into a learning experience. In the nursery, they can feed calves and lambs by bottle; elsewhere, they'll get a chance to snuggle with a baby rabbit or fluffy chick. Gentle ponies take guests on an easy ride around the track, while kids board a tractor-pulled train to get a tour of the farm. They can even catch the farm's famous pig races for a little extra excitement without the danger of letting coyotes into the zoo just to "see what would happen."

Products > PCR_RT-PCR_Real-Time_qPCR > Real-Time_qPCR_Reagents > Reference_RNA_for_qPCR
Clontech Universal Reference Total RNAs are total RNA controls derived from whole tissue sources. Each species-specific Reference Total RNA is made by pooling the total RNA extracts from a collection of different tissues, thus providing the broadest coverage of expressed genes.
With Reference Total RNA, you can easily compare microarray or real-time PCR data generated from different experiments. For microarray experiments, simply hybridize a Reference Total RNA probe to a microarray each time you perform an experiment, and then use the control signal to normalize your results. We provide enough Reference Total RNA for up to 80 microarray experiments depending on the labeling technique. Since these RNA mixes are prepared on an industrial scale, there are minimal lot-to-lot variations. Our Reference Total RNA is the best approach for building gene expression databases to compare expression profiles from different tissues or cell lines.
For gene expression analysis using qPCR, the qPCR Human Reference Total RNA can be used to compare data from a variety of qPCR experiments. qPCR Human Reference Total RNA is prepared by pooling the total RNA from a collection of different whole human tissues, so it provides broader gene coverage than reference RNA mixtures prepared from cell lines.
In developing this standard, we compared the results of a number of different tissue combinations to identify the most representative mix. In comparison to a competitor's RNA standard made from cell lines, we found that using pooled RNA extracted from whole tissues provided better gene representation and more homogenous signal intensities across all genes. Additionally, pooled-tissue RNA samples have very stable expression profiles, providing a high level of reproducibility between different lots. As a result, our Reference Total RNA consistently outperforms the competition in terms of gene coverage and hybridization consistency.
Please see the product's Certificate of Analysis for information about storage conditions, product components, and technical specifications. Please see the Kit Components List to determine kit components. Certificates of Analysis and Kit Components Lists are located under the Documents tab.

How Science Led Me to A Deeper Faith
We as Christians cannot claim that the world belongs to God and at the same time distrust the systematic study of it.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
We as Christians cannot claim that the world belongs to God and at the same time distrust the systematic study of it.
Because reliance upon experts cannot be eliminated, the central question for Christians today is not "should I believe scientific experts?" but "which scientific experts should I believe?"
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
The prevailing evangelical view that evolution is in competition with the biblical account of creation sets up students to encounter a false dichotomy, where they feel they must choose between science or their faith.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.
But what I heard on Sundays did not seem to fit with what I experienced of the world the rest of the week. Growing up in New Mexico in the cottonwood bosque of the Rio Grande valley provided everything for a kid to become a biologist. I roamed along the river, cooked over cottonwood fires, ate wild asparagus, watched clouds form thunderheads over the distant peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
For Augustine, the literal sense of scripture is not a scientific narrative of physical reality, but a liturgical and poetic narrative of God's awesome power at the dawn of history. This is a vital thread in the story of how to read Genesis.
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!
Last year I introduced readers to one of the leading voices about Christianity and science, John Polkinghorne. I also helped BioLogos bring in another leading voice, Robert Russell. This new series introduces a third prominent Christian thinker, Lutheran theologian Ted Peters, Research Professor Emeritus in Systematic Theology and Ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (http://www.ctns.org/), and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
It is not a surprise that a scientific theory will address areas that are poorly understood: indeed, it is expected that theories, as they expand, will naturally have a frontier where the science is far from settled.

Sign up for event reminders right on your cell phone. Just enter your full phone number and select your service provider from the drop-down list, and we'll beam a message to your phone at the appropriate time.
A few things you should know before you sign up:
- Make sure your cell phone provider offers text messaging (aka "SMS") and that this service is enabled for your account/phone. Most cell phones these days come with it.
- We offer this as a free service, but be aware that some cell phone providers charge for incoming messages. Then again, others don't. So if you're not sure, contact your provider. (If they do charge, it's likely inexpensive—like, 2 cents per message.)
- Be aware that the reliability and timeliness of these messages depends on your phone company. We'll hold up our end of the deal and send out the reminders on time—but your phone service provider, which passes the message from us to you, might introduce a delay. This totally depends on your service provider.

Looks terrific! Congrats on getting that first book done.
Looks terrific! Congrats on getting that first book done.
Sure I can, but... as you know I am Dutch, so it is a Dutch company: www.albelli.nl
Don't know if they send to America...
If you would like to see the complete book online
In this book all things are mixed: it was a very special offer (50%) and there was not much time.
So I put in all the LO's I made for challenges and for my Scrap4Hire, just in order they were made.
The next book I will make is from the second 5 years with my husband, that will go in order of date.
We have a lot of photos from us together and I make spreads with these.
The book of the first 5 years was A4 format, but now we have seen 12 inch, I will make the second book that format, it looks so much better!
And ofcourse when my grandson is born, I will make a book of his first year.

Winchester® Ammunition is introducing one of the most innovative shotshell loads in the brand's 144-year history. The new Blind Side™ ammunition combines ground-breaking, stacked HEX™Shot technology and the new Diamond Cut Wad in the most deadly Winchester waterfowl load available. Loaded with 100 percent HEX™ Shot, you get more pellets on target, a larger kill zone and more trauma inducing pellets than ever before, meaning quick kill shots.
"This is a superior duck and goose load that we've spent a tremendous amount of time designing and perfecting", said Brett Flaugher, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Winchester Ammunition. "As the industry leader in innovative new products, this product is without question, a quality product that waterfowl hunters can shoot with confidence."
Key Features of Blind Side™ Ammunition
High Packing Density
With the unique shape of HEX™ Shot, we can literally pack the shot into the wad shot cup more efficiently to give the hunter up to 15 percent more shot pellets per shell.
Hex™ Steel Shot
Six-sided, multiple-edged shot provides increased trauma and wound channels, resulting in fast kills and 250 percent more trauma. The shot is designed to hit waterfowl like high-velocity tumbling bricks—preventing over penetration and maximizing energy deposit and knock-down shock within the bird.
Diamond Cut Wad
The Blind Side Diamond Cut Wad is designed to maximize pattern performance of Hex Shot, resulting in consistent patterns that increase the kill zone up to 25 percent. Blind Side™ HEX™ Shot and the Diamond Cut Wad system is also choke responsive, providing consistent patterns through improved cylinder, modified or full choke systems.
Drylok Super Steel® System
Important to duck hunters is keeping your powder dry. This system seals out water and moisture and is corrosion resistant for improved patterning and consistent velocities.

With an admission price of $15, Otherfest will host 17 bands, 2 independent regionally produced short films and free camping.
Genres will range from blues, singer-songwriter, rock, pop, indie, punk and jazz-fusion.
This year's headlining act is These United States, a nationally acclaimed rock band that has graced big-named festivals such as Lollapalooza.
Festival coordinator William Rogers said the group should create more draw.
"We're really excited about having These United States this year," said Rogers. "They've done a lot of cool shows and it will be great having them — I can't wait to soak it in and be part of the crowd."
Some of the other featured acts include: Adam Faucett and the Tall Grass from Little Rock, Colorfeels from Nashville, A Scarlet Empire from Clarksdale, Bill Abel from Duncan and two Cleveland favorites, Amalgamation and Dandy and the Lions.
"This is probably the best collection of bands that we've had at Otherfest," said Rogers. "Every band is really talented and we've got a great schedule."
With the help of Keep Cleveland Boring, a non-profit organization that promotes the entertainment scene in Cleveland, Otherfest organizers launched an "Adopt-A-Band" campaign where businesses and individuals help fund the festival by sponsoring a confirmed band.

I finally made it through day #7 post my breakup with my ex after I found a used condom on a plain sight in the trashcan when he fooled around with his ex last week, when his ex came to visit from out of state for thanksgiving. I am still heartbroken, and the pain is still very intense, but the past couple days seem to have gone by easier.
I cried my self out during the first several nights. I went to a counseling and a doctor to treat my depression. My doctor refused to treat me with any medicine because all I had was a severe case of heartbroken that would dissipate and heal as the time goes by.
I went to my ex's place on Thursday night to confront him in person. It took a lot of guts, but I poured my heart out in a heartfelt conversation, and for my own sake, I managed to find closure in a more positive note. Unfortunately, he showed no remorse. As I walked out the door, he tried to hug me and said "I am sorry that you are depressed, but don't do anything stupid if you want me back" ... Well, I said "Please don't touch me. I don't want you anymore, and you don't deserve me." I looked at him in the eyes one more time, I walked out, and I finally felt free.
I also wrote his ex a long email. There was no cursing, blaming game, etc. in the email. It was just a heartfelt description of what I truly feel about the whole situation.
Fortunately, I have an incredibly outpouring supports from my friends in this difficult time. I think incredible is an understatement. They kept me busy with things all week to make my mind off things. I don't know what I would've become without them.

The official flower of the American Legion is the poppy. This program is the oldest and most widely recognized Legion and Auxiliary program.
Each year around Memorial Day, Legion, Auxiliary and SAL (Sons of the American Legion) volunteers distribute millions of bright red crepe paper poppies in exchange for contributions to assist disabled and hospitalized veterans. This program provides multiple benefits to the veterans and to the community.
Hospitalized veterans who make the flowers are able to earn a small wage which helps to supplement their incomes and makes them feel more self-sufficient.
The physical and mental activity involved also provides therapeutic benefits. Donations are used exclusively to assist and support veterans and their families.
The poppy also reminds the community of past sacrifices and continuing needs of veterans. American Legion, Auxiliary and SAL members endeavor to explain the true meaning of this little flower to all those who receive it.
The poppy has become a nationally-known and recognized symbol of sacrifice and is worn and used by members to honor the men and women who served and died for their country in all wars.
American Legion Post 81 and American Legion Auxiliary Unit 81 members will be located at the Tractor Supply Store at 2750 Keith St. N.W. to distribute poppies in exchange for donations.

I don't have a Tivo or Tivo-clone (or even cable!). But now that you can stream "TV" through the internet, I've been wondering about using a recorder to time shift programs. Nine years ago Cool Tools ran a review of the cheapest Tivo box, but things have revolutionized since then. What's the current best practice and gear for time-shifting TV, and commercial deleting? What is the best and what is the cheapest? asked Aug 07 '13 at 12:24 Kevin Kelly |
I LOVE my TiVo Series 3 HD. I installed an aftermarket 1TB internal hard drive so I can record lots of movies and save entire seasons of shows for summer programming dry periods--all in HD. The 30-second skip (forward) button, combined with the 8-second backup button makes it a breeze to bypass commercials. Another favorite feature is the 30-minute buffer for live TV. I can tune in to a show 15-20 minutes after it starts and skip through the commercials, and be about caught up by the time it ends. So efficient! The Season Pass function makes it easy to never miss an episode. Another really cool feature is that you can tell TiVo to record anything with a certain actor or director. It will find things you didn't even know were out there. Basically, my TiVo is like a personal TV assistant, always thinking about me. UPDATE: I should have mentioned that I bought lifetime TiVo service so monthly fees are not part of my experience. linkanswered Aug 10 '13 at 07:44 Cluttery |
I've had several generations of TiVO, going back to the original version, and they've gotten progressively worse with each iteration. The original interface was brilliant. The current one is very junked up, and not very intuitive. As a Netflix box, TiVO is not great. Our TiVO's drop connection constantly, and we can't watch anything uninterrupted, no matter how good or poor the connection is. For streaming, Roku is where it's at. Cheap, fast (if you have a Roku 3, anyway), and they never drop connection. The biggest problem I have with TiVO is the pricing structure. You have to either pay a monthly bill, or pay a large sum for a lifetime subscription. There's no way to run one without paying extra money. The fee supposedly covers programming updates, but there are other services out that provide this service for free. To that point... the next DVR I get will be a PC, running Win 7 or 8, with their 10 foot interface enabled, and a SiliconDust box on our network with a couple CableCards installed. Exact same functionality, with a monthly cost savings, and it will let me broadcast TV to practically any screen with an internet connection. linkanswered Aug 10 '13 at 09:59 Mike Farris |
We've got TiVos. We love them. We've found that, these days, there is enough programming over cable that we deem worth our time that we can even not record shows that sound promising. And the commentary/advertising of new shows is focused enough that we're aware of what's likely to be interesting. As a roadie, I can use the TiVo web to schedule new shows to be picked up on any of the boxes we have. TiVo's got a doodad that will encode shows for transfer to your iStuff, but nothing yet for Android. So that's still a gaping hole... Another advantage, if you select the right box, is the THX certification. With that (and the calibration videos), you can assure yourself of the best possible image & sound in your system. Of the two TiVos we've got, there's a subtle but also distinct quality improvement for the one with the THX system. So far, I've found that streaming has two issues: 1) Discovery of new shows. I'm not a kid anymore and we're not plugged into the twitterverse or Mugbook, etc., so there's no good slipstream for us to pick up on stuff that may interest us; 2) Streaming is supposed to work "everywhere", but crappy, slow connections dominate. And choke points abound, making things worse when you really want to get it to work right. Does the broadband industry have conflicting interests here? The TiVo world's not a perfect one. Lots of features should have been added years ago. But they work, as intended, almost without flaw. But anyone who depends on their Kabletown DVR should really really dump it and get a TiVo. Or even just a TiVo and an HDTV antenna, for pete's sake. I'm stumped as to why anyone keeps those truly abhorrent Motorola boxes that their provider "rents out". Not all TV is crap. Some of it's even good enough to justify spending your dough so that you can have it waiting for you when you want it. linkanswered Aug 08 '13 at 00:58 Wayne Ruffner |
Not good. When it comes to turning off an account, Tivo is possibly the worst company I have ever dealt with - worse than cable companies. Unlike Netflix or most other online subscriptions, in order to cancel your Tivo subscription you have to call a special 1-800 number during business hours, then go through a gauntlet of questions from a phone "support" person who's been trained to keep you on the phone until you give up trying to turn off your account. Really slimy. I don't intend to ever do business with Tivo again. linkanswered Aug 10 '13 at 15:37 mrfoo |
Tivo is the best machine and the best user interface but I quit it in favor of a dvr from the cable co. and it's fine. The main reason for getting rid of tivo was to reduce the ever increasing number of monthly subscription payments. You will be amazed at the number of them that are sort of hidden away in automatic payments between software and entertainment it adds up and I don't spend much time in front of the tube anyway. One thing I do know is I won't go back to Tivo again after the smarmy termination process they put you through. linkanswered Aug 10 '13 at 20:25 menglert |
When you get past the price and trouble of setting up cable card, etc. NOTHING beats Tivo for recording broadcast/cable TV... and the iPad app makes it even better! That said, its a non-starter for Nextflix streaming, You Tube, On Demand, etc. Those are all there but just not pleasant to use. linkanswered Aug 10 '13 at 23:28 joshua |
I think Tivo is great. I've had 3 different generations. I actually have two in the house. One for my use and one for my wife's use. It is easy to move shows around. I haven't watched a commercial in 5 years. When watching sports I will wait until an hour or so has recorded then start watching and can skip all commercials and end about the time the game really ends. You can rewind any scene or play. If you wonder what that person said just back up 6 seconds and replay. Need to answer the phone just pause and start when you return. You can schedule a season pass and it will record the shows even if the station moves the program or makes a show 1 hour and 6 minutes instead of an hour. And you can program it to only record first runs of the show. You save 20 minutes per hour of TV you watch. I've noticed some of the smaller cable channels must not provide accurate time info since one in 50 shows might have some problems. To get around that I just program it to record a fixed time and channel. My wife just decided to watch Downton Abbey and the Tivo has Hulu Plus built in so it is easy to watch on the big screen. Comcast just set up something called Xfinity on Demand that gives us access to all Comcast scheduling to see past shows. I've tried the cable company dvr and the interface is primitive compared to Tivo. linkanswered Aug 11 '13 at 10:12 |
Most DVR offers from cable & satellite are as good or better than the TIVO alternative. For example the DirecTV genie offers simultaneous recording of 5 shows, multiroom service watch any recording in any room, control with an ipad, watch shows on an ipad, etc. TIVO really cannot compete in a world where competitive DVR offers are one of the primary selling points for the various content providers. No provider has an incentive to work with TIVO and therefore TIVO is always one step behind in integration... It was a wonderful box when they were the only game in town, but I'm afraid they have worked themselves into a corner with an unprofitable business model. linkanswered Aug 11 '13 at 13:37 NoDef |
At the risk of summarizing the above good answers, it sounds like TiVo technology works and may be superior to other DVRs, but that it may not be worth the monthly subscription model they run on. Mike Farris mentioned using a Windows PC with storage drive. Are there other Mac-based or open sourced software version of a DVR that are easy to set up? linkanswered Aug 11 '13 at 14:30 Kevin Kelly |
Elgato Eye TV is the Mac solution. http://www.elgato.com/eyetv/eyetv-hd Haven't used it myself as I'm a TiVO user. I've been a TiVO user since the first version. I've always gotten the lifetime subscription and it's always paid for itself. Currently I have an TiVO Series 3 HD which I got in 2007. After 6 years of continually being on the built in hard drive finally went bad a few months ago. I replaced it with a 2 TB drive from Weaknees and am more than happy with it. I had cable for many of those years, first needing a cable card, then a digital tuner (which is a separate box that plugs into TiVO USB and you run the cable TV through it). It was pretty annoying but worked. I eventually cut my cable service when I realized I got better quality video for local stations on the tivo doing over the air recording, and the cost of the cable TV shows I watch was less on iTunes + Netflix. When I did all this I ended up with a system that was TiVO for over the air, and an Apple TV for Netflix + iTunes. I've used my Dad's Roku for Netflix and both it and Apple TV are better for Netflix than the TiVO. linkanswered Aug 11 '13 at 18:44 Kevin |

Thread: So, um... Star Conflict?
So, um... Star Conflict?
I`ve been playing this for a few days now, since I can finally log on (shakes fist at TotalBiscuit) so I`ve been wondering: does RPS actually have a corp in SC? Indeed, is there any interest in one? As far as I can tell the game would be a lot of fun in an organized environment, what with the way ships can compliment each other in their various roles.
The game is basically a Freelancer-style flight model, with some MMO-ish elements (ship abilities, modules and so on) but is at its heart a rather nice space shooter. Plus its free, and not the Hi-rez-style "logging on doesn`t cost anything, but you must pay to have fun" kind of nonsense either. I daresay it may veer too much in the other direction in fact. I have yet to reach the higher tiers, but so far I can`t find any major flaws apart from me sucking ass despite having played StarWraith for years.
So, anyone interested?
It looks kind of interesting (although I've never played it), but it depends how much of a time suck it would be, of course! The concept art looks awesome, better than the game itself (as usual!):
Wait, what?
Hi-Rez as an example of bad F2P? How?
Tribes and especially Smite are among the fairest F2P titles out there. In Smite you get 5 of 30 champs for free. Plus another 5 different ones every week. Plus you can rent them per match for about the same amount of currency you make in two matches.
AND you can just spend 30€ once and have all gods there are and ever will be for free forever.
I normally try to not hijack random threads with my fanboyism, but using the one company that actually allows you to buy everything there is in their free to play games for one reasonable payment as an example of bad F2P strikes me kinda wierd.
And that while the game you suggest allows you to just buy ingame currency in a MMO. Meaning more money spent is allways an advantage to less money spent...Currently playing Supraball, Titanfall, Wildstar and Eve.
If you happen to like or be interested in fw or general lowsec shenanigans in Eve, say "o/". Name is De'Vadder there.
I've played some of this, I think it's pretty cool. It's not too twitchy, but the ships float about quite convincingly.
I'd quite like to do the waves/scenario/horde mode stuff with some people on mumble actually, most pubbies just die without saying anything. I once spent 10 minutes playing on my own without noticing because they'd all ragequit having lost all their ships.
@DeVadder ah, so you must`ve been one of those people who were lucky enough not to experience Global Agenda.
@Pilot13 really? Most of my pubs are actually quite competent and not very rage-prone either. The scenarios do get quite boring, due to there only being 1 map, but it`s good for testing new ships.
One thing I`d like to add, on closer inspection the Skills system seems broken as fuck. If you fight someone in your tier who outlevels you, you will die horribly. The Jericho stuff in particular lets you tank stupid amounts of damage.
The one thing that I've seemed to notice, and I might be wrong on this, but because faction ships have special modules, you cant seem to get that as a seperate module for other ships, even if they're of the same class. I only say because I'd quite like the federation interceptor's cloak for my jericho ships.
Yep. To be frank though, a Disintegrator on a Jericho frigate would be overpowered beyond belief, likewise a web on a frigate, or a cloak on a rocket-spamming interceptor.
Also, if anyone further up the tier ladder is reading this, the wiki (yes, it exists) informs me that long range versions exist of all of the various weapons, as well as close-in rapid fire variants. How much is the difference, exactly? Is it like 5%, or EVE-style 1 shot per minute vs beamspam mcmuppet?
