Thank u for all of the very helpful tips!! It is great to be part of such a helpful community. I will give both ways a try!! Thanks again.
Thank u for all of the very helpful tips!! It is great to be part of such a helpful community. I will give both ways a try!! Thanks again.
I'd do mine as 2 12 by 12s and then perhaps put them together after I had flattened the image on completion.
I'd do this way as my layouts are usually complicated with many many elements - it would help me keep track of all the layers and also what I had on each side.
It;s not very often that a print a layout - so that part of things doesn't worry me but you can always transfer them onto a 24 x 12 page later.
I've done it both ways, but normally as two files. One thing that helps me is to duplicate a layer but put it on the other file so I can nudge it over and still be in line with the other page.
Looks like you already have plenty of answers, but since I always do my pages as 2 pagers I can't help but chime in. :) I create each page seperately as its own 12x12 LO. If I have elements/photos that span both pages, then after I have each page done, I create a new blank file at 12x24 & drag my two 12x12 pages onto the new canvas & make adjustments as necessary. Good luck!
I hope you don't mind me butting in here, but I was looking at another scrapbook site the other day and Manda had tutorials about seperating double page templates. Very interesting.
Gosh ... this is a GREAT question. I never really gave it any thought ... I always create two separate pages. I like the tips provided, though, on creating the two-pagers on one canvas. I'm gonna give it a try, too!
When you say you crop them do you mean you save 2 copies of the whole thing (say, one called left and one called right?) And then do you go back in to each and delete the side not wanted and then change the format to 12x12 instead of 12 x 24?
I can't visualize it so I hope I am making sense.
Thanks Seoul2SoulScraps. So you just crop, you don't remove the items on the left side and change the whole thing to 12 x 12? I was thinking if you removed a side your file size would be a lot smaller? Just trying to clarify! Thanks Brenda

Sep 28, 2012One of the best films of 2012, if not, THE BEST. This movie aims to achieve the main thing we all want in movies, a mesmerising and intriguing science fiction action movie that drives the attention of the audience at all times, and that is what a great film does.

Sep 28, 2012This is possibly best movie I've seen this year. It's the first film this year i've eagerly anticipated that lived up to and exceeded every expectation I had. Johnson has assembled a crack cast and written a brilliant yarn. This movie is fun to get lost in. I found myself hoping that it wouldn't end. Go see Lopper now!
Sep 29, 2012
Oct 6, 2012I expected a twist to come at some point in the movie because everything had been so predicable. Even during the final minutes of the movie I was hoping for something to happen other than the ending I had predicted about 30 minutes into the movie. I was sorely disappointed by another derivative Hollywood cut-and-paste sci-fi.

Sep 28, 2012Despite some poorly placed - or perhaps poorly delivered - swearing, some sloppy continuity errors and an annoyingly needless sex scene, Looper really was enjoyable. It did really well to keep me heavily interested in, and knowledgeable about, a storyline that could have easily gone over my head.

Sep 29, 2012The most interesting Movie of 2012 by far. The storyline is just great. If the middle of the wasn't a bit overextended, I think I'd give it a 10. The Movie is full of memorable characters, the actors play well. Also the ending is really intense!

Oct 1, 2012I'm confused and a little shocked at the reviews. I heard a rave review on NPR and so my husband and I went to see it. We both found it boring and a mix of too many not very interesting things. It never really made up it's mind what it wanted to be. I should have watched the trailer first. My advice would be to skip it. Emily Blunt and the kid were the only redeemable features for us.
Oct 1, 2012Wow! The most original movie I've seen since Inception. Very intelligently written! This movie is the complete opposite of most movies that come out today, which aim to please the easily entertained. You'll definitely be thinking about this movie for awhile after you see it. It's an instant classic sci-fi film, which I'll have to add to my collection for sure when it comes out on video.
Sep 30, 2012
Sep 30, 2012Good idea, lousy execution. Needed a couple of more rewrites. If you think you're getting an exciting action movie, you're not. A depressing bloody film. Why is it that Hollywood always has the future depicted as dirty, depressing and crime-ridden? The interesting concept makes it a fair DVD rental. Save the big movie theatre bucks for something else.
Nov 10, 2012Anyone that has not seen this movie yet, you need to see it. This movie is an instant classic. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is amazing in it. This movie will really f**k with your mind if you like that s**t. I really rec amend this movie to everyone.
Sep 29, 2012
Sep 30, 2012Among the best films of 2012, Looper is ultra-violent, ultra-stylish and ultra-cool. It's bold, brave, smarter that even itself thinks, and most of all, extremely enjoyable. I wanted to see it again straight away.
Oct 3, 2012It's very interesting thriller. Everything is perfect. It's "hard" movie and age rating is right. The story is very interesting and it's difficult to keep track of the story cunningly. I think it's one of the best movies of 2012.
Oct 6, 2012This movie is very hard to score out of 10, as the first half was as brilliant as the second half was disappointing, so I've opted for a 5.
In my opinion, it would have been far more satisfying without the inclusion of the "Rainmaker" subplot, which bogged it down and stretched the limits of credibility to breaking point. -
Feb 3, 2013Good movie, horrible unnecessary ending so many other possibilities that should have been explored. This movie has it's own time travel rules. I really don't know what else to say.

Sep 28, 2012This science-fiction action film is a surprising emotional blend of kick-ass fights and firearm killing and disturbing dystopian themes. It evokes powerful feelings of empathy and fear which is not really seen in similar genres and left me shaken as I left the screen. This made me realise
Sep 29, 2012An intelligent action film is always welcomed, and this is no exception. Rian Johnson's 3rd film, this finally shows Johnson taking some creative ideas and grand detail and puts it altogether. As a result, it's his most complete film, though it's not without its plot holes. But you're going to get that when tackling time-traveling. Don't think too much about it and enjoy the ride.

Sep 30, 2012"Looper" is great, simply great! It's original, fun, well written and directed, Gordon- Levitt and Bruce Willis are awesome as the same person, it has a fast rhythm and a dynamic soundtrack, it's just fantastic!
Oct 11, 2012What happened to cinema, Looper is a terrible film, reasons are 1. shaky cam 2. baby being shot 3. poor writing 4. not believable. Joespeh gordon levitt really gave a poor performance as well as the others. The best scenein the film was the credits, everything was so off. It was unwacthble, do not see this, my nan approved this message.

Sep 30, 2012Nice thing about this movie is that its original and overall good.I felt the movie showcased or built up certain characters that became pointless or underwhelming. lack of time travel technology and the way they cover up the fact made me feel as if they couldn't think of anything. Pacing was to slow at times, even for when they were building good parts, everything else was good for the most part.
Oct 12, 2012
Oct 12, 2012Rarely you would find a science fiction movie these days not relying on CGI and action to draw audiences, this movie does not require both, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis pack a great performance, best science fiction movie I have watched in recent times.
Oct 6, 2012Intelligent. Entertaining. Unique. Violent. Emotional. Disturbing. Sentimental. I loved it. I hope it gets a nomination from the academy.
Oct 2, 2012Definitely one of the best movies of 2012, and most likely the best science-fiction movie of this year. With movies such as The Dark Knight Rises and The Hunger Games, Looper still manages to shine and delivering one of the best movie experiences of the year. A must see, surprisingly good. 9/10

Oct 2, 2012I dont like this movie. its too much like bladerunner and is not original at all. It was the biggest waste of 9 dollars and two hours of my life. No one should see this movie.

Oct 10, 2012Seeing the trailer I thought:
- great idea
- great actors
- must see
After seeing the movie:
- a great idea is not enough without a proper storyline
- great actors with poor story and dialogue, poor direction and poor make-up (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) are worth nothing
- why on Earth did I fell for the trailer???? -

Feb 11, 2013Vastly overrated. The film never lives up to its first 20 minutes. (which is high in spectacle and hyper stylish direction)
The deliberately slow burning second half on the other hand, is standard science fiction time travel yarn with a creepy telepathic kid. Watch "Twelve Monkeys" or "Source Code" instead. -
Oct 1, 2012
Oct 8, 2012This movie is a masterpiece of sci-fi cinema. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis were the perfect choice of actors for the right movie. Looper is a unique and fresh film in a period of bland $200 million films.
P.S. The movie should be seen twice in order to understand what's going on, or realise that the film gets better the more you see it. -

Nov 9, 2012Slightly Interesting story - a bit confused at times mixing too much diverse sci-fi into the same story. Good acting and direction. HORRIBLE violence -- its way to excessive and gory at times and un-necessarily so. It makes Tarentino look like a sissy. And that's not easy to do, neither is it a good thing to achieve.
Jan 6, 2013The problem with this movie is, that it tries to be taken as a serious piece of work. But fails, becasue of the many loop holes in the plot. On the positve side, the cast did a great job. But that wasnt enough, to save this movie.
Oct 1, 2012
Oct 2, 2012
Oct 1, 2012The overall movie is fantastic, excellent acting, special effects, and story all-around. The dissappointing ending was the only drawback, which made me subtract from the score.
Feb 25, 2013
Jan 26, 2013Looper is a movie that has an interesting story to some degree but from the mindless action scenes to the and incoherent editing, Looper fails miserably like Bruce Willis's acting.
Oct 24, 2012Apparently the method of time travel movies is to show the same scene over and over again to see if the outcome can be changed. The effect is numbing. J. Gordon Leavitt is talented, but he is gotten up to look like Keanu Reeves and acts accordingly. Bruce Willis has only his smirk left. I lasted a bit less than an hour.
Sep 28, 2012How would you like to sit in a diner having steak and scrambled eggs with a version of yourself, but 30 years older, who also orders steak and scrambled eggs? How would you like to be Bruce Willis surrounded by 20 men with guns and you kill them all but can
Oct 7, 2012
Nov 20, 2012
For all its mayhem, runs like a mad and slightly sad machine, whirring with hints of folly and regret, and the ending, remarkably, makes elegant sense to a degree that eludes most science fictions. How to describe it, without giving anything away? Scrambled, but rare. [1 Oct. 2012, p.84]
Looper felt to me like a maddening near-miss: It posits an impossible but fascinating-to-imagine relationship...and then throws away nearly all the dramatic potential that relationship offers. If someone remakes Looper as the movie it could have been in, say, 30 years, will someone from the future please FedEx it back to me?
I'm not ready to proclaim Looper a sci-fi masterpiece just yet; let's let it sit awhile. But it's a lean, mean, smart, violent picture with a bit of Stanley Kubrick edge, fueled by the terrific Gordon-Levitt.

Pho is the national soup of Vietnam and usually takes at least half a day to cook, so I was intrigued when I saw a packaged Pho soup. Still, with an all natural ingredients list, I figured it wouldn't be a waste of money to try Annie Chun's All Natural Vietnamese Pho Soup Bowl. Annie Chun's says, "our translation of this classic dish combines a savory, organic beef broth with the flavors of cinnamon, star anise, and peppercorns along with premium, fresh cooked Chinese-style Hokkien noodles topped off with scallions and bok choy."
The taste was surprisingly slightly sweet, and spicy! Loved the broth. The noodles were standard, thick noodles, and I don't particularly care for eating big chunks of green onion, but still, I found this quite delish. I ended up drinking all the broth and leaving about half of the noodles - quite the reverse from when I eat canned soups.
The Annie Chun's All Natural Vietnamese Pho Soup Bowl contains 2 servings. Each serving provides 220 calories, 2% of the daily value for total fat, 40% of the DV for sodium, 2 grams of fiber, 3 grams of sugars and 6 grams of protein. This soup must hold the record for highest amount of sodium in a packaged soup!
The ingredients list but the quality is evident - 100% all natural, no preservatives, no MSG.
At the end of the day though, I have to admit that Annie Chun's All Natural Vietnamese Pho Soup Bowl is basically a glorified Ramen noodle bowl (albeit natural). Plus, though shalt not get 80% of the daily value of sodium from just one meal (2 servings - which is probably close to 100% of the recommended daily amount).

So how do you choose what stiffness you need for your application?
The chemical engineering team at Innovative Mounts have formulated three general types of polyurethane bushings available in our motor mount kits.
This article will explain why we have the different options and how to choose the right one for your application. First, let's gain an understanding about the design of the OEM factory mounts.
Factory mounts are usually made of thin gauge metal stamped and partially inserted with a rubber material. The rubber usually has two or more sections that meet in the center to hold the center pin. These sections do not hold the motor firmly and are prone to break under sever driving conditions and/or when used in performance applications.
Innovative Mounts has engineered a unique polyurethane bushing unlike no other. Our bushings are solid, will never wear or break, and come with a life time unconditional warranty. A key design decision in our bushings is that it makes minimal physical contact with the mounting bracket or chassis. The shape of the urethane bushing is tapered to prevent binding between the chassis and/or mounting bracket. This allows the urethane to gradually absorb engine movement and vibration.
All of our bushings are designed in the same general shape. What varies next is the hardness or durometer rating of the urethane.
60A Red (250hp Max) - The 60A Red bushings are recommended for street cars. Most of our kits come standard with these bushings. They provide the least amout of vibration transfered from the engine to the chasis. This equates to a more comfortable everyday ride.
75A Black (500hp Max) - The 75A Black bushings come standard on all H/F - Series engines. These engines weigh more and need a stronger bushing. We recommend 75A for street and track vehicles that make more than average horsepower. This rating of bushing is also for those that would like a stiffer feel and less engine flex.
85A Grey (500+hp) - The 85A Grey bushings is designed specifically for race cars or drivers that seek a solid engine mount kit.
95A Red (500+hp) - The 95A Red bushings, the stiffest bushings offered by Innovative Mounts, is designed specifically for just as you'd expect... Extreme applications. This is not recommended for street applications. Select this stiffness for high HP/Torque engines only.

Clearasil At-a-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; effective topical disinfectants with 10% benzoyl peroxide; a good BHA option for those who prefer pads; a decent selection of water-soluble cleansers and topical scrubs.
Weaknesses: As is true for most anti-acne lines, irritating ingredients with no benefit for skin take precedence; only one sunscreen and it's part of a lackluster three-step kit; no lower-strength benzoyl peroxide products (10% has a higher chance of causing irritation than 2.5% and 5% versions).
Perhaps no other line is more synonymous with decades of zapping zits than ever-present Clearasil. The brand debuted in 1950 and was the first to offer anti-acne products to a teenage audience. The company has had several owners over the years (including Procter & Gamble), but has always kept its place on store shelves. The current selection of products is larger than in years past, yet they remain overwhelmingly disappointing because most of them contain irritating ingredients that don't help blemish- or blackhead-prone skin. Alcohol, menthol and its derivatives, and witch hazel show up repeatedly in these and other anti-acne products at the drugstore, creating a precarious situation that leaves shoppers who are dealing with acne faced with few genuinely effective choices. Luckily Clearasil comes through a few times with some very good benzoyl peroxide products for effective disinfecting, a very good BHA option, and a few other gems.
By the way, although Clearasil has products directed toward adult (instead of teenage) acne, the basic cause and treatment of acne is the same regardless of age. The protocol for handling breakouts does not require a separate category of products; the treatment basics remain the same.

Can science and scripture be reconciled?
In Christian belief, God reveals himself in both the written book of the Bible and the created "book" of the natural world. Thus, the truths we find in scripture should not conflict with the truths we find in nature. Yet at times the two revelations seem to be saying contradictory things about how God made the world. Since God does not lie, the conflict must occur at the level of human interpretation: either a misunderstanding of what God is revealing in nature, or a misunderstanding of what God is revealing in scripture. Conflicts motivate us to reevaluate both interpretations. Christians may disagree on whether the scientific or the Biblical interpretation needs to change, but we can agree that God speaks to us in both revelations.

IBOC end to end
There is no question that the transition to digital technology will be the biggest change to over-the-air radio broadcasting since its inception. Ultimately, the end-to-end air-chain not only will be capable of delivering higher-quality digital audio within radio's current infrastructure, but it will also enable new services such as datacasting and supplemental audio service over the existing FM channel.
Nevertheless, the benefits will come at a price ranging from a low estimate of $35,000 for AM stations with an IBOC-capable transmitter, satisfactory antenna system and digital infrastructure in place, to $200,000 or more for stations needing a new transmission system, STL and complete studio upgrade. Table 1 outlines typical anticipated station costs.
Given the expense and the lack of a mandated transition time frame like the FCC established for television's conversion to digital, it is likely that most stations will gradually convert to digital. The question is how? Even if a time frame for initiating full-digital broadcasts has not been set, there are steps a station can take now to ensure that the most intelligent and cost-effective analog-to-digital migration path is pursued.
Table 1. Per-station anticipated costs. Information courtesy of Ibiquity.
Getting started
When it comes to converting to digital, one plan does not fit all — or even some. Your station's plan will be unique, influenced by budget and by your answers to a few critical questions:
At what point in the air chain will the signal become digital? Earlier is better.
Where is the studio in its equipment-replacement cycle? With digital, listeners will hear legacy equipment noise.
What processing changes will be required? IBOC issues range from diversity delay to where the processor is located.
Will the current STL make the grade? Composite systems will play havoc with the signal; the path may need to support data or supplemental audio and communications.
What is the condition of the current transmitter site? More equipment means less room, and greater power consumption and cooling requirements.
Does the transmitter have the bandwidth for IBOC? It needs to be wide and flat with sufficient headroom.
Is the antenna system up to par?
Has a digital business model been established? You will be able to offer new services.
To better answer these questions, the following 10 steps can help you prepare for the IBOC transition.
#1: Once the signal is in the digital domain, keep it thereMultiple digital-to-analog (D/A) and analog-to-digital (A/D) conversions, sample-frequency rate changes and varying data compression/decompression (codec) schemes can distort a signal, adding undesirable artifacts and noise. An all-digital studio facility will deliver the best overall signal with the lowest noise level and widest frequency and dynamic range.
Innovations in wireless technology can provide systems with broadband capabilities. Connections can carry several types of audio and data at once. |
Stations running an analog studio will also need to maintain strict level control. If too high of a signal goes into an A/D converter, the converter may overload or run out of bits, causing ugly and unpredictable audio. If the levels run rampant, consider placing a brick-wall limiter in front of the A/D converter.
#2: A new digital console will help you, now — and laterIf you have to replace an aging console now, you will find that many new digital consoles offer features that will improve your performance and streamline your operation today and pave a solid path to the future. Even better, many digital consoles cost less than their analog counterparts. An all-digital console that can accept multiple input sample rates and various digital formats as well as analog inputs is becoming common. Even the analog transmission will be improved when the signal originates from an all-digital studio.
#3: Don't ignore the wiring, cabling and clockingThe AES digital audio signal must be as clean as possible. While proper wiring, termination, grounding and quality cable and connector replacements have always been important, they will be required to get the most out of a digital path.
Many recent installations are using CAT-5 cable instead of digital audio (110Ù) cable. Shielded CAT-5 provides an RFI-free, quick and simple installation with a smaller footprint.
Digital clocking is important. AES audio must be synchronized to a common clock to avoid digital level changes, clicks and pops on the air. A small studio may be able to get by with a digital console with an internal clock that allows for silent switching and routing of various inputs. Multi-studio and other complex systems may be timed via GPS or other synchronizing systems, especially if signal routing is used. Some digital consoles available today include self-timing inputs or a complete networkable routing system that includes distribution of digital audio synchronizing signals.
#4: Plan for diversity delayIBOC transmission includes a 6 second to 8.5 second delay from the time the digital audio leaves the console until it is heard by the listener. Off-air monitoring of the digital signal will not be possible. Stations with a talk radio format most likely are prepared for this because of the profanity delay system.
During the IBOC transition, the hybrid mode will contain an analog and digital signal. The analog signal will be delayed accordingly to achieve a smooth blend when the receiver switches between the two signals. This will occur during initial signal acquisition or in areas of low signal strength.
The station will need to change its off-air monitoring practices to one of post-console/pre-IBOC signal monitoring for on-air talent. Most stations will also want to confidence-monitor for RF or audio loss with an automated no-carrier/no-audio detection alarm or have off-air personnel monitor for quality. For on-air personalities who want to hear the fully processed sound of their voices, a mimicking processor can be inserted into the real-time monitor loop. This unit can closely simulate the transmitter processor or produce a custom signature sound. In addition, communication provisions to the studio (other than monitoring the delayed air signal) should be made for personnel on remote location feeds.
#5: Locate the audio processor where it will do the most goodWith digital, even the location of the audio processor will come into question. Should it be located in the studio or at the transmitter site? The heavy compression and processing that most stations currently use on their analog signals will not be compatible with creating high-quality, artifact-free IBOC signals. In general, stations should consider moving their existing audio processing equipment to the transmitter site and placing it in the path of the analog transmitter only at a point after the diversity delay.
A separate audio preconditioning system designed for the complex requirements of a data-compressed digital audio transmission system can be added in front of the IBOC exciter. This preconditioning system uses psycho-acoustic algorithms that preserve optimal signal quality at a lower bit rate, freeing part of the bandwidth in the channel for other uses. For example, the preconditioning system can actually enable primary FM and a supplemental program service to be broadcast simultaneously on the same FM channel.
Ensure that there will be sufficient room to house the equipment necessary for IBOC operation. Combiners and filters may be housed in a separate room. |
This processing technology can clone the analog sound signature and apply it to the digital transmission chain without generating the artifacts associated with hard pre-processing.
#6: Maintain quality and consider streamlining communication at the STLEarly IBOC adopters have found that inadequate STL systems — STL systems that fail to maintain high linearity across the bandwidth and use compression algorithms, especially after a studio codec — can cause big problems. In fact, as IBOC service is initiated, STL issues are second in importance only to the transmission system.
Whether the station is replacing an STL or installing its first system, pay close attention to the input and output capabilities. The station may be adding a data stream or supplemental audio to its hop. The STL system should support IBOC's 44.1kHz sampling rate and be expandable to handle frame relay and IP transmission. New IBOC-ready STLs and upgrade kits for late-model STLs are now available.
This may also be the time to consider streamlining the station's communication systems. Multichannel STLs can carry multiple audio streams. Multiplexer systems can be used with wired or wireless communication systems to provide audio, data, telephone, LAN and control paths.
If the station can not replace its composite STL system, a conversion system can be used to meet the AES input requirements of the exciter. Some stations are converting the composite signal back into discrete audio before the A/D converter. However, multiple alternations to the audio should be avoided. This arrangement is not recommended and should be considered temporary.
#7: Evaluate the transmitter building sooner rather than laterMost importantly, is there enough space at the transmitter site? Another transmitter may only be the start. Allow room for a combiner, a mask filter (depending on the transmitter manufacturer), a transmitter/antenna switch, a UPS and a second equipment rack. Now is the time to determine what equipment will be added. Once it is specified, allow an extra two to three feet of clearance on all sides to avoid surprises.
Most likely, the power (and associated backup generator) requirements will also increase considerably. Once the power requirements for new equipment have been calculated, add 20 percent for headroom and minor equipment additions.
Combiner losses, reject load-generated heat or less efficient power amplifiers will generate heat and require additional airflow. If the building can not handle additional heat, consider locating the combiner or load in a separate "hot room" or an outside enclosure.
#8: Grounding and protection are even more critical with digitalStations using a phone line or other dedicated hard-wired link for remote control or monitoring should ensure that all connections are properly terminated and isolated. Stations planning to provide datacasting services will need a phone/data line surge and lightning protection throughout the serial system.
Like PCs, some digital equipment must boot before it is ready for service. If these devices are in the station's critical chain, power must be routed through a UPS to prevent the agonizing 30-second to two-minute lapse of dead air or noise. The UPS should be large enough to support all critical components for the required amount of time. Power conditioners will also help to safeguard against line voltage fluctuations and ac line noise.
#9: Understand the transmitter optionsAM stations have only one transmission option: low level combining of the analog and digital signal through one transmitter. Determine if the current transmitter will be suitable for IBOC transmission.
For the low intermodulation distortion (IMD) that is necessary, the AM transmitter should provide audio bandwidth of 50kHz at the modulator to amplify the 30kHz audio component and 100kHz phase modulation of the carrier. Because high linearity is also essential, the transmitter should also provide low incidental quadrature modulation/incidental phase modulation (IQM/IPM) specifications (between -35dB to -45dB).
To date, no known tube transmitters are capable of reaching the -45dB IQM figure. Stations that own a solid-state PDM transmitter should talk with the manufacturer to evaluate whether it is suitable for IBOC, investigate what modifications will be needed, and how much they will cost.
FM stations have more options — but most likely will need a new transmitter no matter what the implementation path. If the station's current FM transmitter is not capable of passing the IBOC signal because of narrow bandwidth, non-linear class C operation or little headroom, but it is still fairly new with up to 10 years of service remaining, separate amplification — high-level combining with a new IBOC transmitter — will probably be the best choice. Most tube transmitters will not be able to pass the IBOC signal without substantial and cost-prohibitive modifications. Also keep in mind that to maintain its existing analog coverage, the current transmitter will have to boost its output power by 10 percent to 11 percent above the current total output power to overcome any combiner losses.
On the other hand, stations that operate a lower-power FM station with a late-model transmitter running 30 percent or more under its maximum power may be able to upgrade to IBOC at a fairly reasonable cost. In this case, the FM analog and digital signals would be low-level combined in the same transmitter, using the common amplification method.
A third FM option — space combining — is currently being tested. At present it is only allowed under special temporary authorization (STA) from the FCC.
#10: Don't overlook the antenna and transmission lineThere are four key reasons to evaluate the final elements: to prevent interference, to maintain coverage, to prevent equipment damage and to conform to safety regulations. Given the importance, consider a site survey to ensure that the station can properly pass the digital signal — especially for AM.
The survey will sweep the feedline, tower and antenna to determine frequency response across the band, impedance bandwidth and VSWR symmetry. These figures will become more important than ever with digital because poor numbers will translate into increased bit error rates that will reduce coverage.
For most modern AM transmitters, IBOC requires that attention be paid to the load and that it be flat and symmetrical, exhibiting Hermitian symmetry out to 5kHz with a VSWR of 1.2:1 or less at 10kHz and 1.4:1 or less at 15kHz either side of carrier. Hermitian symmetry occurs when the upper and lower sideband frequencies at a given offset from carrier exhibit reactance of equal but opposite sign. For example, a load impedance that is 50Ù+j0 at carrier may be 46Ù-j5 (capacitive) at 5kHz below carrier, and therefore should be about 46Ù+j5 (inductive) at 5kHz above carrier. The symmetry requirement actually applies to the output of the PA combiner and not necessarily the transmitter output connector, so phase rotation occurring in the output network must be taken into account if measurements are taken at the output connector.
Most FM antenna systems are proving to be IBOC-capable with little or no alignment. VSWR needs to be no greater than 1.1:1 at analog center carrier frequency (F
The digital infrastructure will provide capabilities for new services and revenue streams that were undreamed of in an analog world. This data could be used as a source for additional program-related data (PAD) or for independent services. Other possibilities include subscription services and Internet broadcasting. FM stations will be able to offer a supplemental audio channel.
Although the transition to digital will be complex and costly, it can represent more than an enhancement to the station operation. I believe that it is a defining moment in radio — a moment when the future will be limited only by our imaginations. Now, when even AM can broadcast "in color," the future should bring new forms of information and entertainment over the airwaves that have served us well for so long.

Comments about Bed:Stu Manchester II (Women's):
These are my second pair of Bed Stu Boots in the cobbler series, love them. The shaft leather is very soft, no lining. The distressing is great, looks as though I have had them for years. Like my other pair of Bed Stu, the soles are very slippery...beware. Love, Love these boots!!! I purchased the black-distressed.

Artisan: Doña Jerónima Juárez
Doña Jerónima Juárez was born in the small village of San Pedro Las Huertas, near Antigua, Guatemala. She stopped attending school after the third grade in order to supplement her family's income by helping her mother sell vegetables in the marketplace.
Doña Jerónima's mother taught her to make worry dolls, a traditional craft in Guatemala. She recalls, "I was trying for 2 months to make the worry dolls; I made one but was not good enough then I undid the dolls and tried again and again and again lots of times."
Her perseverance paid off. Eleven years ago, she was able to found a small workshop, "Artesanias Multicolor," in the Colonial City of La Antigua Guatemala. She is able to employ fifteen artisans in the production of traditional and not-so-traditional handicrafts, including the "Worry Cats," a design she developed exclusively for the Greater Good Network.
With their livelihood no longer tied solely to the agricultural harvest, Doña Jerónima, her mother, and her three daughters continue to turn their traditional crafting skills towards the creation of new and unique designs.

For immediate release -- Tuesday, May 8, 2001. Contact Bob Brammer, 515-281-6699
Statement of Attorney General Miller:
The Legislature and the Governor have agreed to "securitize" the revenue to be received by Iowa from the tobacco industry under the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA). I have supported and I continue to support securitization for several reasons. One key factor is that the securitization plan has been designed to build an "Endowment for Iowa's Health" that would provide a continued, stable source of money for tobacco-use prevention and control, health care, substance abuse treatment and enforcement, and other purposes.
Now, the Legislature has approved legislation that would appropriate $40 million from the Endowment to be used to improve Iowa's education system, and Legislative leaders have pledged to replenish the Endowment with $40 million within the next two years.
I strongly believe that Iowa's education system -- especially teacher salaries -- must be improved. I also understand the severe budgetary challenges we face in addressing the needs of education and other priorities. However, I urge that discipline be exercised in repaying the $40 million to the Endowment as soon as possible.
In times of tight budgets, there will be repeated temptations to use money intended for the Endowment for purposes, including important purposes, that are unrelated to health. Unless fiscal restraint is invoked, the Endowment will not grow as planned and vital health programs will be shortchanged in years to come.
As the months and years go on, decision makers should not forget that the payments under the MSA were derived from a lawsuit based on the damage inflicted on Iowa by tobacco. Every year, 5,000 Iowans die from tobacco-related disease, and 12,000 Iowa youths begin smoking. It would be a tragedy if tobacco prevention and control efforts and other health care needs were inadequately funded in future years because money was "borrowed" from the Endowment for other purposes and not repaid in a timely manner.

Updated: June 1, 2013 6:47AM
NEW YORK — Here at the ''Rusty Tug'' — also known as the Barclays Center — we had another Blackout Night for Brooklyn Nets fans. For Bulls fans, it was pretty much Blot-Out Night.
They might as well forget the 110-91 loss Monday in Game 5 of the first-round Eastern Conference playoff matchup. The Bulls still lead the series 3-2, so all is not gloom.
Plus, you have to tip your hat to the fans who started ''ooh''-ing while Nate Robinson was in the midst of an ankle-breaking drive in the second quarter. The play ended in a layup and a massive roar for the little dude.
They also roared for the Nets' Andray Blatche when he dribbled behind his back and took a fallaway jumper, like Kobe Bryant, late in the fourth quarter. No matter that it clanged off the rim.
They dig flash here. But they also dig winning, something the Nets were able to pull off with ease in long-ago Game 1, a 106-89 victory.
But then came that crazy
Game 4 circus Saturday — the Bulls' triple-overtime, come-from-way-behind 142-134 victory at the United Center — and the Nets were being questioned for a lot of things, primarily toughness.
As the New York Times so intricately put it Monday, the team's performance ''could be viewed as evidence of something the Nets seem to lack, something they have been accused of lacking at other times throughout the season: that collective aggressive gene.''
Where's that gene located? By the shooting bone?
That seems to be what Nets center Brook Lopez found in fine form, going 11-for-20 from the field and 6-for-7 from the free-throw line and scoring a game-high 28 points. If you can imagine Bulls center Joakim Noah with a perfectly formed toe-tip jump shot instead of the swirling ''tornado,'' you have Lopez on this night.
And maybe Lopez was only so terrific because Noah was so bad. Noah looks, acts and runs like a guy whose feet are killing him. Which they are.
But there he was for more than 28 minutes, always a half-step late, closing painfully, getting the ball knocked from his hands, missing close shots and finishing with more fouls (three) than defensive rebounds (two).
Noah's a warrior for playing at all. But he can't do it like this or the Bulls are toast.
In fact, Game 6 on Thursday at the United Center is the last, best hope for the Bulls to advance to the next round. As Nets interim coach P.J. Carlesimo said of his team afterward: ''They earned
Game 5 and Game 7 in this building. . . . That's what the 82 [regular-season] games were all about.''
The Bulls were outrebounded 44-33, a shocking stat for a team that always has prided itself on its rebounding prowess. But when big fellows such as Lopez and Blatche run around at will (41 points and 15 rebounds between them), it's a rough, rough deal.
It would be a pity if health — or, rather, the lack of it — became the whole story of the playoffs for the Bulls. But the Bulls aren't going anywhere without at least a semi-mobile, semi-crazed Noah in the house. And he looks like a horse that is one step from the glue factory right now.
The Bulls also missed guard Kirk Hinrich, out once more with another injury, this one to his left calf. ''Captain Kirk'' is kind of like the guanine that holds the Bulls' DNA together.
Oh, and did we mention Derrick Rose sat on the bench in a nice suit again, seemingly injured forever? He once was the adenine, thymine and cytosine that held the Bulls' DNA together.
''You can find excuses if you want to,'' disgusted Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said.
He then was asked about
Game 6 at the United Center.
''Home court's not gonna win it for us,'' he said correctly. ''We have to play well.''
On a day nearly overwhelmed by the news that a gay NBA player exists — who knew! — the Bulls should have stayed home and pondered things like that, plus hustle and rebounding.
Then put their aggressive genes out, ready to wear.

Take a country drive. That's what the new owners of this home will experience daily.
The drive to this neighborhood is one of many features of the Home of the Week.
D&S Custom Homes were builders of this beautiful dwelling, which was constructed on a pretty lot in Covenant Hills.
Stacked stone and Hardie planking were used on the face of this dwelling and durable and easy to care for vinyl was used as soffit and trim around the exterior.
The front yard has also been landscaped and grass sown. Springtime is just around the corner and the grass will be fresh and green, complementing this new home.
According to Cindi Richardson, this house is so fresh, it was just placed on the market a few days ago.
Richardson is the listing agent for this "Home of the Week."
Sidewalks lead to the front door from the concrete drive and two-car garage. The home has more than 2,600 square feet of living space.
Beautiful, rich hardwood flooring was used in the foyer, main living area and dining room. Wide casings showcase the custom paint colors.
The main living area has a cathedral ceiling and gas-log fireplace, which has been neatly finished with a mantel, hearth and built-in bookcases.
The formal dining room has wainscoting as well as a chandelier.
Nearby in the large kitchen, rich, solid-wood cabinetry and granite countertops were utilized.
The new owners will get plenty of use with the double stainless steel and energy-efficient ovens.
Accent lighting was placed throughout the kitchen as well as in other areas of the home, such as the great room.
The home also has an area for a breakfast nook and a large, spacious wooden deck constructed on the rear of the house.
Larger furnishings can be used in this spacious area.
The master bedroom features a "specialty" ceiling design. It was double-trayed, adding height and depth.
A master walk-in closet is very spacious with modern storage and hanging amenities.
The master bath features a custom shower and whirlpool garden tub. The counter space was doubled with his-and-hers lavatories. Tile was used in the bath area and carpeting placed in the master bedroom area.
The other bedrooms also have carpeting. This house features three bedrooms and two full baths on the main level, and another full bath and bedroom near the bonus area, which was designed in the downstairs portion of the home.
The home also has energy-efficient features, such as ceiling fans, central heat and air and energy-efficient appliances as well as insulated vinyl windows.
A central smoke alarm system has also been installed.
Covenant Hills is located in northeast Bradley County and can be reached by traveling east on Benton Pike past Chatata Valley Golf Course.
This featured home is listed for $279,900.
An open house is planned Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. For additional information, contact Richardson at 280-1442, or visit http://cindirichardson.crye-leike.com.

Frameline 37 Brings Diversity, Fun and Fantastic Films to San Francisco's International LGBT Film Festival
Features By Mark James on June 21, 2013 | Be the First To CommentYou might think, with all the acclaim pouring in for Michael Douglas and Matt Damon's performances in Behind the Candelabra, that the film industry's "gay moment" has arrived. The proliferation of LGBT-themed movies achieving wide release now might seem to signal that the credits are rolling on what film historian Vito Russo called the celluloid closet and that the gay genre can now dissolve itself to join the rest of the movies as simply that — movies. But the state of things isn't actually that far along. Neither Douglas nor Damon are themselves gay, nor are there comparable gay stars who could have led that movie. And even though Behind the Candelabra was directed by Steven Soderbergh and featured blockbuster movie stars, no distributor would buy the film. It had to air on HBO. In reality, though there has been immense progress in the past few years, the LGBT community still has far to come in Hollywood. That's why the Frameline International LGBT Film Festival is so significant. The oldest and largest film festival in the world devoted to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender programming, Frameline is a showcase for the best work that you still won't see in the cinemaplex, an opportunity to reflect on the history of our community and its contribution to the movies, and just a gay old time. In its 37th year, the festival runs from June 20th to 30th, ending with Pride, and screens a panoply of fascinating films at the Castro, Roxie, Victoria […]

yap its hard to make webhosting
yap its hard to make webhosting
its not easy money it requires effort but yeah its not much difficult
it is a very serious business, which requires significant investment and a human effort.

no it is the easiest part of website development
just need to add hosting but SEO is the difficult part
Nah Paul, SEO is getting recognized by Google and slammed. The basic business of running a business for more than 14 months is what this question is about - the twerps croak at the 4-7 month mark.
Complex jobs, like a webhosting business have never been easy to perform. I know it would be really hard to get the stability for the business from the zero level.
its easy unless you have a good server
Any new business is hard first.
It is very hard to start up. It took me atleast a year to get a growing base and become stable.
all i can recommend, is to work hard at it and keep going...you will LOSE money for the first year or so. (depending on how your marketing)

Hard it is! There are a lot of different things involved. Choosing/writing your application system, deciding the best configuration for your users while balancing security and usability, dealing with all the support tickets that pop up, handling downtime, auditing accounts.... The list goes on and on.
There is a lot of work involved, some that was not accounted for before we started, however it has proven to be a great learning experience and our entire team appreciates the experience and is eager to see what the future holds for Hostalope.

It is not hard making the web hosting but it is hard getting customers. How do you distinguish yourself from the competition? That is the hard part. Before you get into this business, DO YOUR RESEARCH. This means find out who your target client base is and find out what they want.
I would say, easy to start up, hard to sustain and grow it.
Unless you spend enough time and the marketing work.
Not if you know what your doing. Hosting is simply a computer "server" in a data center. Obviously there is more to it than this. I would suggest using fully managed servers if your not a tech geek and when you get to the point to use a rack or cage in a data center to hire experts to manage it for you.
