tina31 Posts: 3The only one hurt was me cause i just had major back surgery and just hurting real bad but DR said all pins and screws still in place.
Car damage was minimal it was of course the cable but it broke the motor mounts also so it shakes but its ggod other than that. Thank you for your help. -
jlflemmons Posts: 2,240Having just changed the motor mounts on BOTH of my Blazers, and from all I have heard from others, your accident didn't do your motor mounts any good, but if they had not been replaced in 140K miles, I would bet money they were already broken, and thats why the motor moved. These engines use a somewhat small motor mount and it is not uncommon at all for them to break with age/mileage. Our '99 model had broken mounts at 75K miles, and my '02 had one completely broken at 60K miles, and broke the other one at 70K. This particular motor mount is made to keep the engine pretty much where it belongs even if the rubber breaks loose. If the rubber breaks, you will notice more vibration from the engine, though.
Sorry your back is hurting, hope you feel better soon. -

jlflemmons Posts: 2,240Many parts stores now have a device that will tell you if your remote is still transmitting. You just hold it a couple of feet away and push the remote button. If it is still working, a light comes on.
I have seen this at O'Reilly's, and heard that others have them, also. If the remote is dead, check online for a replacement. They are the same as factory units, at about half the price. -

Will Vaccinations Cause Autism In My Child?
In This Article: | |
For a small child, vaccinations can be a frightening and painful experience. It's not all that much fun for mothers, either, but it can become overwhelmingly daunting for them when rumors begin to fly that certain vaccines may do more harm than good.
Are vaccinations really safe? Are you putting your baby at risk when you try to protect her from disease? New vaccines always bring with them an uncomfortable amount of uncertainty, and even long-trusted immunization procedures can suddenly come under scrutiny for new reasons. Nevertheless, most vaccines are a good idea, despite a degree of uncertainty.
The Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccine (MMR) was approved and licensed by the FDA in 1967, and it has been used worldwide ever since. In the U.S., proof of MMR vaccination is generally required for school entry, and some states require a second dose after the original vaccination. It would seem that a vaccine that has been around for this long would be safe for your child. However, recent headlines have suggested that there might be a connection between the MMR vaccine and the onset of autism. So, should you now worry that this trusted vaccine will cause autism in your child?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says there is no proof that autism is linked to MMR. The fact is, autism is usually diagnosed in children at around the same time that most kids receive the vaccine. This coincidence in timing has made it appear to some parents that their child's autism was caused by the MMR vaccine. A 1998 study lent credibility to such fears by suggesting the link. According to the CDC, however, numerous subsequent studies conducted worldwide have failed to find any link between the vaccine and autism. In addition, many other authoritative organizations have come to the same conclusion. Britain's Health Protection Agency (HPA) has confirmed the safety of MMR, and has expressed concern over the decline they've seen in the number of children vaccinated.

CINEMA SCOPE: Behind the lens of this Panavision Genesis camera is an image sensor. It captures 12.4 megapixels of image and color information and turns it into movie magic. (Photograph by Kyle Christy)
Chris Watts has never worked with a wolf before. He and his crew are the designated animal wranglers for a scene in the upcoming movie 300, directed by Zack Snyder. The wolf in question is making an appearance in the epic about Spartan warriors at the battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. Watts and company are trying not only to make the creature stalk through the scene convincingly, but also to capture a particularly menacing shine on its teeth. "If you dipped a popsicle stick in maple syrup, that's the look we want for this fang," Watts says to one of his team.
Fortunately, no one has to lubricate a real-life lupine grin to get the shot Watts wants. In 300, the wolf's cuspids are a purely digital construct, as is every hair on its hide, the rocky canyon the wolf is haunting, the wintry nighttime sky overhead, and virtually every other element of the shot save for the young actor playing the animal's Spartan prey. More than a year after the human element of the scene was shot on a blue screen stage with a stand-in mechanical wolf, Watts, the movie's visual-effects supervisor, is filling in the expansive blanks with staffers at Hybride, a Quebec-based effects facility. "One nice thing about doing this on the computer," Watts says, "is that if you decide, `Okay, I like the hair and the eyes and everything else,' you can turn off all the other layers, and just highlight the teeth."
The New Normal
In today's moviemaking, the creative work that takes place on a computer can be as important as what goes on in front of the camera. In the big-screen adaptation of Frank Miller's historical graphic novel 300 (above), the future Spartan King Leonidas fends off a wolf. On set, visual-effects supervisor Chris Watts tried using a robotic wolf (top) for the scene, but it was eventually covered up by a computer-generated version of the animal (shown midrender, below).
Visual effects once were labor-intensive novelties generated for impact at key moments in a movie, but digital cameras and powerful software have changed all that. "Effects used to be an issue of process versus product," says John Dykstra, the visual-effects designer on the first two Spider-Man movies. With film, getting the end result the director wanted tended to slightly degrade the quality of the image. Wizards such as Dykstra had to import footage frame by frame into computers for editing and CGI work, then convert the digital product back into film. "Putting effects on film always meant photochemical generational loss," Dykstra says. That's changed. "With digital, we went from being optics mavens to focusing on what illusion tells the story best, because now you can do anything."
There is a powerful recycling effect in Hollywood -- as digital techniques for rendering textures such as hair, water and fire are pioneered in films such as Stuart Little and The Perfect Storm, they become part of movieland's collective effects arsenal, eventually being packaged in software such as Autodesk Maya Hair and Maya Fur. Elements and tools -- from digital characters and environments to motion-capture techniques that record actors' movements and facial expressions -- now are handled routinely, with confidence rather than crossed fingers. Stefen Fangmeier, an alum of George Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), sounds matter-of-fact as he discusses the elaborate work he and his crew have done on his directorial debut, an adventure fantasy called Eragon. "Is there a tremendous amount of new technology in this? No," Fangmeier says. "It's the way we're putting it together and applying it to this character. A dragon has never been done like this." Continued...
The fantasy movie Eragon combines traditional on-set filmmaking (above) with digital innovations. About 200 shots were created using a "motion rig" to help the actor simulate riding a dragon. Edward Speleers, who plays the title role, rides a hydraulically driven mechanical saddle that is programmed to mimic the movements of Saphira, a computer-generated dragon rendered in postproduction. Motion-rig scenes are filmed on a sound stage against a blue screen peppered with laser dots that help digital-effects artists align backgrounds and digital characters with the movements of the camera.
In the new action-comedy Night at the Museum, Ben Stiller is chased through the movie by a dinosaur skeleton come to life. To create the T-rex, effects artists first had to create this digital wire-frame model.
Unlike most digital creatures, which are created almost entirely in postproduction to react to the movements of a movie's live characters, the movements of Eragon's dragon, a central character, were choreographed by animators before the cameras started rolling. The dragon's motion was uploaded to a high-tech mechanical bull ridden by an actor on a blue screen stage. "The result is that you get more realistic body language from your actor," says Samir Hoon, the movie's visual-effects supervisor for ILM. "Even if the dragon is just waddling along, you're trying to capture as many nuances as possible."
Character Building
New technology also is allowing directors to meld CGI and live action in fresh ways. In last summer's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, ILM's image-based motion-capture, or Imocap, software helped animators turn actor Bill Nighy's face into a squiggling mass of octopus tentacles for his role as the villain Davy Jones. Until recently, motion-capture work on characters such as Gollum from the Lord of the Rings trilogy tended to interfere with acting. A performer charged with creating a digital character's movements had to work in a spandex suit on a motion-capture stage with a minimum of 16 cameras sampling his movements.
In contrast, Imocap let Nighy work on the set with other actors. "We wanted Bill to be able to do his performance opposite Johnny Depp and everyone else, without any constraints or weird processes getting in the way," says Pirates animation supervisor Hal Hickel. The result was a kind of digital makeup that accentuated Nighy's character rather than covering it up -- the tentacles moved naturally (or, perhaps, supernaturally) with his facial expressions.
This scene of Spartan soldiers driving their Persian enemies off a cliff and into the sea was shot 11 times on a blue screen stage in Montreal. The final image in the movie (below) was com-piled from eight separate takes to add more soldiers to the finished product. Later, a CGI sky and falling debris were added, along with moody lighting effects. "This scene has a very particular look in the [300] book," Watts says, "and we wanted to reproduce that."
There are a slew of 3D epics in the works. Movie-tech pioneer James Cameron (Titanic) is working on the big-budget sci-fi features Avatar and Battle Angel; director Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future) is working on a 3D Beowulf; and George Lucas -- ever the digital revisionist -- has stated plans to re-release the Star Wars trilogies in 3D. Continued...
The science of motion capture -- gathering data from an actor's performance for use in digital animation -- reaches its limitations when it comes to the human face. But new technologies may better enable visual-effects gurus to track subtle facial expressions. The Mova Contour system (above, with Mova founder Steve Perlman) uses phosphorescent theatrical makeup, texture and geometry cameras, and fluorescent lights that flash 90 to 120 times per second. A technology from Image Metrics goes further, tracking facial movements without the need for makeup or any special hardware. So a computer character can instantly mimic every element of an actor's face.
Moving beyond "Cut!"
Cinematographers are the film era's last holdouts. As the people most directly responsible for the color, texture and clarity of the images onscreen, they tend to be conservative. Many still prefer the richness, highlights and grain of film over the cleaner, harsher look of digital image recording. But today other cinematographers say they are drawn to the capabilities the technology provides. Industry veteran Dean Semler, an Oscar winner for Dances With Wolves, has used Panavision's digital Genesis camera on his last three projects: the Mel Gibson-directed Mayan epic Apocalypto, and the two Adam Sandler comedies Click and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Cinematographers have long used low-res video playback to check their work on the set, but the images on film often look quite different. Digital moviemaking solves that problem. "There's a huge comfort factor in looking at an image you know is going to look the same way it is on the screen," Semler says.
For Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, ILM's Imocap technology put actor Bill Nighy's on-set performance into the tentacled CG face of the villainous Davy Jones.
Smoke and mirrors
The technology breakthroughs that made dinosaurs and big waves a few years ago have eddied into mini disciplines with ever-rising levels of virtuosity. "Effects have gotten more evolutionary rather than revolutionary as time has gone on," says ILM's Hickel. One area that is seeing continuing incremental advancement is element and particle simulation -- rendering water, fire, smoke and dust with greater fidelity. For the February comic book action flick Ghost Rider, lead actor Nicolas Cage's head is replaced by a skull exploding with digital flames designed in a tweaked version of Maya software. "Our hero doesn't have any eyes or lips or a tongue, so he can't form words, and he doesn't have any expression," says director Mark Steven Johnson. "You can't tell when he's sad or vengeful. So I really wanted the fire to have a personality, to make up for what we didn't have."
During Hollywood's Golden Age of the 1930s and '40s, filmmakers used entire guilds of set decorators, matte painters and other artisans to help create movie magic. Today, boutique digital-effects shops perform similar tasks. "God is in the details," Dykstra says. "You get into this business of who's producing the most realistic skin, or the most realistic sky, or the most realistic field of battling armies. The ability to create images that are indistinguishable from reality has truly opened a Pandora's box. In a good way."
Hybride, the outfit simulating wolf drool for 300, is best known for rendering stylized digital backdrops, like those it created for Rodriguez's 2005 movie Sin City. That film's dark comic book atmospheres melded the live action of the movie with the raw visual approach of graphic novelist Frank Miller, who also wrote the book upon which 300 is based.
To design 300's digital backdrops, Hybride artists needed to combine obsessive attention to detail with a deliberately artistic -- as opposed to realistic -- visual aesthetic. To blend footage of the actors into the surreal backgrounds, the artists employed a complex process. First, 3D tracking was used to map out virtual camera angles to correspond to the real camera's movement. Once the virtual and real camera angles were matched, the computer-generated imagery was "shot" from the right angle and dropped into a scene, ensuring that warriors won't be hidden by the enemy, the terrain or the odd lethal projectile.
The process was just the first step in a branching and converging stream of CGI work that included modeling sets, modeling characters and rigging them for animation, then adding texture and lighting flourishes to all of it. In a downstairs conference room at Hybride's headquarters, effects artists review a shot that's nearing completion. On a small movie screen, the Spartan king cradles a young war casualty, his somber troops clustered around them. In the background, digitally rendered flames flicker on smoky, expressionistic, combat-ravaged digital hillsides.
"We've asked [Hybride] to give us art, not just reality," says director Zack Snyder. "It's hard because it's subjective. One man's art is another man's screw-up." To that end, work on the digital wolf continues. In a number of shots, the wolf still shows up as a wire-frame construct; in others, he looks like some bizarre alabaster lawn ornament -- the fur has been left off for the time being to allow the artists to focus on the movements of the animal's musculature. Watts is on that case, but he's also finessing other fine points, such as making sure the creature's breath is shown, highlighting the scene's frigid conditions. "Wars have been waged over the breath," he jokes. "The stuff that we argue about is so beyond the realm of what normal people ever worry about." In the new digital age, every pixel counts.

About Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a natural, holistic system for healing that works by eliminating the underlying imbalance in a pet's body that is causing unwanted symptoms. In homeopathy, health is defined as not just the absence of symptoms, but a feeling of well-being and vitality. Homeopathy has been used for more than 200 years. It follows Aristotle's theory that "like cures like." For example, ipecac in large doses will cause nausea, salivation, and violent vomiting in a healthy person. In contrast, homeopathic ipecac can cure those same symptoms in a sick patient.
In addition, homeopathy uses the principle of the "minimum dose." Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances such as plants and minerals that are highly diluted (potentized) and shaken (succussed), which eliminates any toxic effects of the natural substance. It is literally impossible to overdose with a homeopathic formula, and they are generally safe for use with other remedies or medicines.
Available in a 1 oz liquid.

Didn't change my cat that much.
By NL the cat lover
from Birmingham, AL
This product didn't help calm my cat that much; especially, to try to cut even one nail. I used the whole bottle, and the end result was she still would not let me trim one nail.
OK but----
By Beach
from upstate NY
I have a 10 year old, 23lb sheltie, who has always been very afraid of thunder storms and fireworks. I gave him the 10 drops of medicine on a treat about 1/2 hour before the event. Another 5 drops on a treat as the event started. The med seemed to have no effect on his fright, but he did seem to calm down quicker after the event had ended. I will use it until gone and then decide if I will buy more. The printed directions on the bottle are so tiny, that the only way I could read them, was to take a picture with my iPhone, and then enlarge it enough to read them.

from Selmer, TN
We have a rescued drug dog who was mistreated and tied on a short leash and made to bark if some one came near. Every little sound startles him, even scare him, including storms. This product works in a few minutes, soothes him and he will lie down and even sleep. We have seen no negative side to this product

Still on the fence with this one
By Camp Ruff Ruff
from Staten Island NY
Been trying a few all natural solutions and honestly most Vets and trainers that I have spoken with don't like all natural and rush to drugs. I been using this one for two weeks at half dose and been noticing better results with anxiety and stress in his behavior during training and behavior mod. It is recommended to do behavior mod with vet prescribed drugs so you better believe with all natural it is a must. I would try full dose according to label and hopefully see better results. So far not bad.
This really works!
By Sammy's Mom
from West End, NC
I began giving my 10 year old mini-Dach 7 drops in his morning and evening food several weeks before we were going out of town. The results were not instantaneous, nor did I expect that because this is a homeopathic remedy. Sammy is more set in his ways at 10 and would get more wound up with things that were a change in routine--a car ride for fun, new people coming in the house, separation anxiety, etc. I can see definite improvement in his level of calmness. Also, he stayed with my parents while we went on vacation and they could tell a big improvement over the prior year's stay. He was more relaxed (but not groggy) and enjoyed playing and just hanging out without the constant vibration and whining. He did so well, they took him for a car ride!

Natural stress remedy - seems to work!
By Sky's new mom
from Holmes Beach, FL
I bought this because I planned to adopt a shelter dog, who would be subjected to a number of radical changes over a short period of time (e.g., another dog and two cats already in residence, and hours of car travel between our two homes). Our new dog was given this remedy twice, and it calmed her right down. I don't like to use prescription tranquilizers on my pets, so this product filled the bill nicely.

Unsure of Effectiveness
By Roenafoxfire
from San Diego
I'm not sure if I would have better results if I used it longer before the event, but I had gotten this for travel and was told to use it at the time of the event. I tried it out the other day on my cat and we just did a short trip to the pet store. Not effective at all. He yowled the whole way and was only quiet for a short time on the trip back. He strained and pulled the entire time in the store.

Simone- Thanks. Today they turned into dotted CH's. Hope you are doing well!
Alix- I think it's really normal for men and even women to be interested in porn. It's not for everyone, but is a part of a lot of people's sexuality. I think it depends on if it negatively impacts your relationship with each other. It's a difficult subject and people's opinions vasalate greatly on the topic. Hope that helps. I hope you don't take it as an indictment of your relation; I think the majority of men enjoy looking at porn.
Amy- Mmm, gonna have to look at your chicken recipe!
Alix- If my DH was watching porn and I cought him, I personally don't think I would be upset. I mean, in my opinion watching porn isn't cheating or anything. We are all sexual beings. But that's just me.
Tara- I am currently on progesterone to jump start AF, but for the past three months, I take progesterone from the 1st to the 10th and then I'm supposed to start around 2-10 days AFTER the last day. I haven't had AF in three months. I can't really track my cycles when I don't have one. So I'm worried about Clomid because I can't even figure out when my cycle is. UG...so frustrating.
ALL- I have an appointment with my OB/GYN today. I'm sure i'll get a pregnancy test done. Fingers crossed for BFP. My husband and I are growing super antsy about having another baby. I'm starting to have baby dreams every night. I'm also really worried about when I DO get pregnant. I had HORRIBLE morning sickness with my son. Like, I lost 40lbs. Are all pregnancies really all that different?
Hey there everyone. I just got back from the doctor and it was negative. I got bloodwork done to check my hormone levels because she said there is no reason why progesterone shouldn't have worked for three months. I have another appointment oct.3rd to see If we can start Clomid.
Amy- I think my DH had done some similar rating stuff. He'd write reviews on the internet for extra cash. I haven't had the chance to look at that recipe yet. Darn it.
Alix- It's a very personal topic and you have the right to feel what you feel. Talking about it is probably important given the fact you are upset by it. Hope your back feels better!
Alexx- The progesterone hasn't worked to jump start your cycle? I took it once when I needed to get AF and she showed up a day or two after I stopped taking it. I had a 3 month gap in between cycles after going off birth control, but never took the progesterone then. long cycles like that can be from annovulation (not ovulating). Clomid sounds like it's something you could really use. The first full day of bleeding is what you should count as CD1. Most often clomid is prescribed to start on CD3-7 or CD5-9. I always took it CD5-9. Did you discuss PCOS? I thought you mentioned having that....metformin is another common medication used in conjuction with clomid and progesterone. Yes, each pregnancy can be totally different it's hard to say how you'd feel this time around. Hope this helps!
AFM- I'm tired spent the day running around running errands with my mom and grandma. It was fun, but now I'm drained.

Drupal Commons is growing
by Jay Batson
At the start of DrupalCon San Francisco, we let folks know that we were working on a new Drupal Distribution called Drupal Commons. As a reminder, Drupal Commons is integrating groups, discussion forums, blogs, wikis, documents, and events into a single packaged solution. It is designed to meet the business needs of enterprises who are looking at solutions like Jive. At the time, I made a screencast to give people a quick look at what it's capabilities are.
Since the time since that initial screencast, we've had a gratifying level of interest in Drupal Commons, and so I thought an update would be useful to share. The interest has been gratifying in two respects: First, that a lot of enterprises immediately see the potential for benefit in their organizations, and second, that these enterprises are providing terrific feedback to us on what they need Commons to do for them. I love being customer-driven, and so we've been working really fast hard to respond to customer desires, and growing Drupal Commons' capabilities to provide what they've been asking for.
The process has been so rewarding I can hardly express my enthusiasm. It has highlighted the beauty of Drupal: speed of development due to the breadth of things available from the community. The Drupal mantra "There's a module for that" has held true in spades. And to our joy, most of the modules we've looked at incorporating are solid, stable, and provide most of what we need. Which means our development speed has been blisteringly fast. And our customer excitement with the results is, well, ... huge. That said, as is also normal for Drupal, there is usually a need to tailor the UX of some of these modules to make a smoother experience for users. (I consider the Commons Theme and the UX still a work-in-progress; but we're working with some of our partners to make big strides here in the next few weeks.)
One of the things we've paid attention to since that original screencast is a question we hear from customers, who ask "How do we grow our community?" We've noticed that, among our customers, many are anticipating having a designated Community Manager whose job it will be to help find ways to build community. This totally rings true for us; not only is Dries a spectacular community leader, and we here at Acquia have subconsciuosly internalized a bunch of the things he says he does to nurture the Drupal community. Leveraging this experience, we've been adding in some tools for community managers into Drupal Commons - like a home page where the community manager can promote featured groups, content, and events as a way to give visibility to things that will grow the community.
So at this point, we've stabilized the key features of providing a solid community groups capability, with support for group documents, discussions, wikis, RSS feeds, and events. In our most recent work, we've also made it a bit more fun, by adding avatars to the Recent Content stream on the dashboard, adding reputation points to user profiles, enabling users to have a more rich profile, showing more complete user listings, adding some drop-down menus for efficiency, etc. We've taken lots of inspiration in these areas from successful community sites like Symantec Connect, Novell Communities, and other successful Drupal community sites.
Given all the changes, I've re-recorded the screencast for Drupal Commons to include all these new changes. Whether you watched the old one or not, go watch this one, and then tell us whether this interests you, and how you'd like to use Drupal Commons for your own needs.
Watch for more progress here as we proceed towards our summer release. To learn more about how social business software will help your business, check out our white paper on Building Enterprise Social Communities using Drupal.
I'm curious how the Drupal Commons name works with the Drupal trademark. So just like Acquia Drupal wouldn't the product name be Acquia Drupal Commons?
Quoting III.3: The name of your company or organization should be used in combination with the Drupal trademark so that there can be no confusion about the true source (company, organization, association or author) of your product or service.
Per the examples in the trademark policy, it doesn't mean it should be called 'Acquia Drupal Commons'. If there is confusion about the source of the product, we should make that clear though.
Similarly, it isn't 'Lullabot Drupal Podcast' or 'Lullabot Drupal Voice' but just the 'Drupal Podcast' and 'Drupal Voices' by Lullabot.
Actually it is the 'Lullabot Podcast' as jjeff says at the beginning of every episode. "It's... the Lullabot Podcast!" [wah wa wah waaaaa] [queue music] ;)
Drupal Voices is certainly just "Drupal Voices" - but I think that is because they really are the "Voices of Drupal", being interviews of people in the community, and only really associated with Lullabot because Kent is the one who does the interviews and all the work to produce them and release them on the Lullabot site.
Oh good, I think I'll make a distro called "Social Drupal" then and support it commercially.
Thanks for the demo.
A quick review of the movie leads me to think that you have added user relationships and activity to a stock open atrium install. Thats a nice enhancement for sure. Would be helpful if you would elaborate on how this distro differs from Open Atrium both on a product level and a technical level. If it doesn't differ much, lets try to avoid forking into 2 distros.
Interested to hear the response from Acquia, for sure, but on the other hand, I'm not sure forking is what's happening... or if it is that it would be a bad thing.
I've never known what to make of Open Atrium, and that's probably because I've never needed an intranet. However, companies that do need one should be able to find Open Atrium - that's what the project bills itself as.
I've also never needed a corporate community site, but watching Jay's video, I know that that's what they're developing with Drupal Commons. It's a clear message that companies who do need a corporate community site should be able to find.
I suppose Drupal Commons could be a white labeled Open Atrium with extra Features enabled and an entirely different theme, but I don't know what that gains Acquia or its customers. Acquia seems to have a clear market in mind and should benefit from developing a targeted distribution that they can control and build.
I think we'll need more distributions than less, and the more targeted the better.
We continue to examine whether we should build Drupal Commons on Open Atrium or not. It is one of the reasons we haven't released the code yet.
We are working with DevSeed on a couple of Open Atrium projects, and we continue to recommend Open Atrium.
Either way, I think Ryan is spot on. The community often has multiple initiatives that do similar things. More can be better than less.
Great idea. I am sure many large organizations will find the distribution fills their need. But even more significant will be smaller niche users that will never be "enterprise" sized, but still need the functionality in a pre-packaged distribution. This is the type of initiative that will grow Drupal.
I think that distributions will serve to expand Drupal's use to the
smaller organizations. Big organizations never "need" a distribution
but for them it is a demo type of thing that can speed adoption. For
the small organizations it is simply having the features ready to go
that works for them because they don't have the time or money to
invest in consulting for configuration etc.
Drupal Gardens for instance simplifies the creation of a base site.
But compared to a distribution like commons or Open Atrium it doesn't
solve the real needs for an intranet or customer support portal.
I've done a lot of Jive installations and the key to that environment
is having the features like documents and comments and groups ready to
go out of the box.
I think that you need to have a good reason to fork into different
Presently, I do not know of any such good reason why to fork
As long as the community leaders cooperate and listen to the needs of
the community, any such forking just weaken the original initiative
and usually provides an alternative with no significant value.
Drupal would not have been such a great framework if is had been
forked like other CMSs. Go ahead and build on top of Open Atrium.
Enrich and contribute to Open Atrium as Open Atrium enriches and
contribute Drupal.
Fork when you see no reasonable alternative.
Please, keep the efforts together and don't listen to your ego…

True Writer® Signature Stub Nib Fountain Pen
Price: $89.00
Item: AP12380
Personalize this item by adding a monogram
A fountain pen with a square-cut nib
Give your handwriting that little something extra with this handsome stub nib fountain pen. A stub tip is cut straight across the top and is among the easiest fountain pen nibs to use since it has somewhat rounded edges and corners, creating a practically effortless and extra-smooth write.
The True Writer design story
By the end of the last millennium, the ubiquitous disposable pen had just about taken over. Though a few pen companies still catered to serious collectors with elaborate, intricate (and exorbitantly expensive) designs, it had been years since anyone offered a beautifully made everyday pen. Inspired by the Esterbrook Pen Company, which served the writing needs of the general public for almost a hundred years, Levenger set out to inspire contemporary writers with a modern take on the classics. In February, 1999, the very first True Writer was introduced.
Medium nib made in Germany
Black marbled resin
Chrome nib and appointments

True Writer Signature Stub Nib Fountain Pen
Love this pen!
Having been a calligrapher for a long time, I was interested in a fountain pen that would give me the thick and thin variation in line, yet be very smooth and easy to write with everyday. This pen fits the need perfectly. One thing that is true of this pen is that you need to know how to hold the nib on the paper correctly to get ink flow and smooth writing-similar to an italic nib.
August 20, 2014
Tips About the Tip
This tip is terrific for people who print more than they use cursive writing. It is bold and requires a firm hand. If you write with a light hand, the downward strokes sometimes don't show up.
June 9, 2014
Niche nib
If you are a regular fountain pen user, you have a couple of these niche nibs in your collection. It is not a true caligraphy nib but it does give your writing a bit of character. Useful for signing cards and cheques. It is too big for my normal use (I use a fine regularly) but those that use a broader nib may find it works for them for daily use. It does have a higher ink flow than a standard "round" nib and you will find you need to fill it more frequently. It is a light pen and medium girth overall.
May 1, 2014
Good Pen But Not Great
This is the second True Writer pen that I have purchased. I have been very happy with the first. The sales description lead me to believe that the pen nib was cut to facilitate a more expressive writing style. However, perhaps due to the narrow width nib, advertised as a medium point but really more of a fine point, The "style" was difficult to achieve. Other than that a good pen.
April 8, 2014
Terrible Nib
Unless you are able to fine tune your own nibs, do not buy this pen. Out of the box, It was extremely difficult to get the ink flowing. I had ink in the combs and even on the feed body but it wouldn't flow to the nib. The nib is extremely scratchy and almost impossible to use on an upstroke. It actually wants to dig into the paper. It acts more like a crisp italic nib than a stub. Levenger should revamp the design before selling anymore of these pens.
March 12, 2014
Nice Pen...
I like this True Writer, but feel it is different enough from the description to mention it in a review. The finish on the pen I got is not as opalescent and gleaming as my other True Writers, and certainly not like the finish of the Kyoto or Sea Glass styles. This one is more understated, black and charcoal with a low-level glimmer in some of the mosaic chips. It's businesslike and beautiful but not as expected from the pictures. The nib on this is more of a fine stub than a medium. If anyone is familiar with the Esterbrook 2314-F, this nib creates about the same line, if a little less dramatic of an effect. In my opinion, this nib is overpriced for what it is, but I certainly can tell the difference between the stub and fine True Writer nibs, where others couldn't. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
September 8, 2012
No Difference from Regular Fine Nib
Found no difference between signature nub & fine.
July 31, 2012
Not quite as expected
From the write-up I expected the snub nib to be somewhere between a regular pen and a calligraphy pen. What I received writes just like a regular fountain pen with no more expression. I could have saved money burying a regular nib. That said, I am pleased with how smoothly it writes.
May 5, 2012
True Writer Stub nib
Just received my stub nib as well as the True Writer seaglass fountain pen. I found the nib to be very scratchy and not smooth at all. Its too bad, I wouldn't have purchased the pen from the outlet store if I knew that the nib would be so poor. Now I can't return the pen and I am stuck with a nib I don't like.
February 21, 2012
This is a superb pen. My favorite in a large collection many of which are much more expensive. Would be nice if it came in colors other than black

That's certainly attained in his design for the three-year-old Santiburi Samui Golf Course (an easy forty-five-minute flight on Bangkok Airways south of the capital). So as not to disturb the hillside coconut groves, Namatra shaped holes that descend some 150 feet or roll in emerald waves to blind greens. Although Samui is a beach-ringed tropical island, the designer had to ship in the proper bunker sand on barges. Raw jungle intrudes on all sides, and, as I find on my round there, looking for a lost ball can sometimes mean an encounter with a snake. When I ask whether they were poisonous or not, the teaching pro answers: "Both."
Thailand's ultimate golf destination just might be Chiang Mai, an ancient moated city full of temples set in a wide valley surrounded by low mountains in which numerous indigenous tribes reside. My best discovery here was the man who offered to guide me, raving about the perfect feng shui of the Chiangmai Highlands course, which is routed around the meditation retreat of the region's most illustrious Buddhist monk. And Peter Andraes should know. A former PGA Tour qualifier, he left the Stanford University golf team to set out on a "vision quest" that has led him to become a world-class instructor, making the link between Eastern wisdom and ball-striking techniques.
It was on the advice of Earl Woods, Tiger's father and one of Andraes's mentors, that he moved fourteen years ago to racially tolerant Thailand. When not writing books such as Secret of the Inner-Swing and teaching in the U.S., he combines instructions in Qigong and martial arts with golf outings for Tao Garden, a health oasis that prescribes regimens of organic food along with arcane Chinese practices like testicular massage.
"Swing from the belly—iron wrapped in cotton!" Andraes exhorts, trying to bring out the inner warrior in me. For him, a love of golf and tropical beauty are a natural match with spirituality and intense self-discovery. Harkening back to his friendship with Earl and Tiger Woods and their connection to the country, Andraes says, "In Thailand, everyone can get in touch with the spirit of the tiger."
Perhaps, but simply escaping smoggy Bangkok is good enough for me. Better yet, I've reconnected with golf, and my image of the country I live in has been utterly transformed.

"exactly what we needed"
By customer
These shades are exactly what we thought they would be and just what we needed. Dark enough to give us privacy but yet you can still see light through them. Also, I messed up on measuring, I was so worried about the width, I missed the length! They sent me a replacement at 1/2 the cost. Great customer service!

By customer
got the cassette with smart pull. call blindsgalore before ordering - they can change the cassette size to a smaller one for you. unique look, easy to operate mechanism. stunning look - we love it! Installation is actually a breeze once you understand the instructions - read very carefully - the brackets for inside mount are installed much differently then cellular - the header clips to the vertical part of the bracket, not the horizontal part, and the head needs to be rotated down. I found the instructions confusing, but once you got the hang of it its easy, and ... its a piece of cake to remove and reinstall.

As Laetitia and Sarah already introduced to you, this beauty is the sister of our eye-catching First Lady Croco Pink, which means: she also is cool and edgy, powerful and ambitious. Those who own and wear this blue MCM dream are independent women that live life to the fullest without any fears, they enjoy the beauty of every moment and love being surrounded by as strong personalities as they are. The First Lady Croco in Mazarin Blue is classy and the perfect mix of both worlds: Glamour & adventure! But where does she live?
Rome it is!
Italy's capital is the perfect place for her, the ultimate comfort zone, somehow a mirror of her exciting personality. Cultural inspirations to please her, vibrant city vibes that make her feel alive, a special sense for outstanding details and the quality of food, leisure time and everything that surrounds her can be found here.
Buon Giorno, Milano, buon giorno beautiful First Lady!
As a city, Rome itself is a poem where tradition and the love for life & family are huge priorities. Here the First Lady feels at home, as comfy as she needs, and is surrounded by her beloved ones and safe in her circle of best friends able, to experience everyday's miracles and adventures.
As a huge lover of cultural events, she of course also is a fan of movie nights that feature today's legends - like, in this case, Woody Allen starring in: "To Rome with Love" an ode to her favourite city as well as to her favourite feeling: Love! Of course always at her side: The First Lady Croco, Mazarin Blue Edition!
Music was her first love (and still is today); it's an important part of her life: the Mazarin First Lady Croco is addicted the opera as gives her an overhelming thrill from listening to strong orchestras while wearing her favourite matching blue dress:
The First Lady's deep love for the arts of the world makes Rome an endless locale of inspirations. She likes taking a walk through the Maxxi, the National Museum of Art from the 21st century - the Palazzo Altemps makes her feel the vibes from an older Italy, while the Sant'Ignazio takes her breath away. The Mazarin First Lady not only carries everything needed for a day full of arts, but is dressed-to-impress at the same time (of course!)
The First Lady in Mazarin Blue certainly likes Italian delicacies and can't live without typical pasta nights with her circle of friends. As she speaks four languages and her amici (friends!) come from all over the world, spending a night with her means multicultural joy!
So what does our 'prima donna' (First Lady) do in her spare time? Long walks through the city of course, while discussing politics and poems balances her hard working week! Theatre evenings, good books and experiencing nature with her bike or driving around in some exclusive cabriolet also belong to her passions. What's by her side during these adventures? Mobile phones, magazines, a bottle of water and her favourite lipstick wherever she goes!

Here are some of the highlights:
Too often, the Republican leadership in the United States Senate chooses to filibuster our recovery and obstruct our progress. And that has very real consequences.
Think about what these stalling tactics mean for the millions of Americans who've lost their jobs since the recession began. Over the past several weeks, more than two million of them have seen their unemployment insurance expire.
So after years of championing policies that turned a record surplus into a massive deficit, including a tax cut for the wealthiest Americans, they've finally decided to make their stand on the backs of the unemployed. They've got no problem spending money on tax breaks for folks at the top who don't need them and didn't even ask for them; but they object to helping folks laid off in this recession who really do need help.

BOSTON — Retail buyers walked the floors meeting with grower-shippers and distributors at this year's New England Produce Council Produce and Floral Expo.

"This show is unbelievable," said exhibitor Charlie Eagle, vice president of business development for Southern Specialties Inc., Pompano Beach, Fla. "We had a couple of people we wanted to see and some we wanted to follow-up with, including current and future customers."
Many exhibitors said this year's show a better chance to meet with buyers than last year's, with exhibitor booths in separate expo areas at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro.
"We are glad to be back to this side of Boston," said Bo Lynch, director of sales for Shapiro Produce Inc., Everett. "This is the place you want to be. South Boston is alive."
Council president Robert McGowan, partner with Wellesley-based Northeast Produce Sales LLC, said the April 3 expo attracted retailers from North Carolina to upstate New York and Maine.
"We have a lot of attendees and great support from the trade," he said. "We are seeing everyone from produce managers up to vice presidents of perishables from a lot of the major chains and wholesalers throughout the region."
During the April 3 breakfast, McGowan said the council continues to grow and cited its members' dedication to promoting consumption by financially supporting the United Fresh Produce Association Foundation's salad bars in schools effort.
Through United Fresh's work with the Let's Move Salad Bars to Schools initiative, the council in 2012 contributed a salad bar to East Boston High School and plans to donate another one to a Berlin, Conn., school this spring, he said.
Keynote speaker Tim Wakefield, a retired Boston Red Sox player considered one of baseball's greatest knuckleball pitchers, told attendees hard work and determination remain keys to success.

"It takes hard work. Everyone on a team is important, no matter how big or small."

I downloaded the iso for 0.4.1-2. The drive issues a POST error (Primary Hard Drive Failure) and when I resume the machine appears to lock up. I admit to not waiting very long, mostly because it stalls at a screen that says "Wait" that I had not seen before tht takes place before the gparted boot manager appears.Are you sure you are using the latest GParted Live CD as mentioned in Step 3 a) above. It should solve the spin-up problems with the original HR2x drives and is the only Linux you need to complete all the steps.
Should I give it another go and just wait longer? Or maybe hot swap the drive in once I am booted up?
ETA: I tried it on the computer it was hooked up to last (the newest) and this one actually did not hang when I resumed and the drive does appear on the system. Thanks for prompting me to give it another whirl.
