There is a little town in southern West Virginia tucked back into the mountains. Logan, WV is a town known for the infamous Hatfield & Mccoy feud. It's also known for coal mining. However, there is one other thing that seems to be buzzin' around..... Open Mic Night.
BJ's is a small bar where most come to drink or gamble, with the exception of a few fellas who come for one thing & one thing only, to sing their music for a crowd. Wednesday night is a special night especially for Jeremy Queen, Travis Podunavac and Derek Bowen. They each have their own style and their own preference in music but the one thing they have in common is that they need it to live.
Derek Bowen has the best voice of the bunch. He prefers to sing original songs. He don't fit into any genre, unless you call it the Derek Bowen genre. He is his own style. The best way to describe it? I would have to say a pinch of soul, mixed with a scoop of folk. We could also add a gram of country depending on your taste. Derek has one hell of a voice. It's powerful, raw and pulls you in. It's safe to say in the next 5-10 years Derek Bowen will be a household name.
Travis Podunavac is the youngest of the bunch but he knows his stuff. He is country from his feet to his hair. He likes to do the classic stuff such as George Strait. Everything about him screams country. His voice is good and his guitar skills aren't to far behind either.
Sometimes you have to go beyond the radio, beyond the billboard charts to find REAL music. The struggles is what makes music worth the while. All three of these guys are REAL musicians. If there was ever a time that I was proud of where I come from, it was while watching these guys perform.

2008 Infiniti G Sedan Continues to Offer High Performance and High Style With a Human Touch
The 2008 Infiniti G35 Sedan builds on the second-generation 2007 model's myriad revisions, which included a next-generation 306-horsepower 3.5-liter V6; a striking new exterior defined by the sleek wave form hood, signature G-style taillights and raked A-pillars for an athletic stance; a crafted, Takumi-inspired interior environment; and the audiophile-quality Infiniti Studio on Wheels ä by Bose® .For the 2008 model year, enhancements include a first-ever offering of a Sport Package for the G35x AWD model (in addition to being available on the G35 Journey Sport Package) and a new 18-inch Tire and Wheel Package for G35x AWD (late availability); revised Technology and Navigation Packages; available Infiniti iPod® Interface and Driver's Audio Stage; and standard XM® Satellite Radio (requires XM® subscription, sold separately). There is also one new exterior color – Desert Platinum.
'In just two generations, the Infiniti G Sedan has reshaped customer perceptions of luxury sports sedans,' said Mark Igo, vice president and general manager, Infiniti Division. 'With its enticing performance, stunning exterior, crafted interior and intuitive, user-friendly technology, the G goes beyond the machine-like sameness of conventional sport sedans, rewarding the driver in every imaginable dimension.'
Sporty, Sensual Styling
The second-generation G35 Sedan's vibrant design began as an evolution of the original's, wîth its long, wave-like hood, raked A-pillars and athletic stance. It is clean, simple and projects a balance of power and grace that is suggestive of the performance potential within.
The front of the 2008 G is highlighted by its L-shaped headlights and dramatic Infiniti signature grille wîth sculpted 'twisted' horizontal blades inspired by traditional Japanese swords. High Intensity Discharge (HID) bi-xenon headlights wîth fog lights are standard, while an Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS), which automatically controls the headlight lighting pattern according to §teering angle and vehicle speed to help provide better visibility at night, is optional.
The G's silhouette offers a wedged roofline and a sweeping bodyside character line that emphasizes both the rich shoulder surfaces and the G's rear-wheel drive orientation.
In the rear, the refined, evolutional L-shaped LED taillights express the G heritage and the Infiniti design identity. The trunk lid is accented by an integrated spoiler, while prominent dual exhaust outlets complete the sporty appearance.
The G35 Sport 6MT and Sport Package-equipped G35 Journey and G35x AWD models offer a unique front fascia and side sills, and 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and tires. A full rear spoiler is also available.
A Crafted Interior Environment
The 2008 G Sedan's interior was designed to create a harmony between its dedicated driver's cockpit and comfortable passenger space – and between modern technology and traditional Japanese design cues. The result is a 'modern warmth' that is unique in the sport sedan §egmènt.
'Traditionally, there have been two schools of thought in sport sedan interiors – cold, machine-like precision or soft, indulgent luxury,' said Igo. 'In the second-generation G, we've found a way to thoroughly engage the driver, while embracing passengers wîth finely crafted hospitality.'
The driver's space of the 2008 G has a simple, intuitive layout. The instrument panel features electroluminescent gauges wîth white-and-violet instrumentation. White is used because it provides the highest contrast, while violet is used as a premium accent color. A center information display, located between the tachometer and speedometer, conveys updates from the drive computer (average fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel economy, average speed, elapsed time, running distance, distance to empty, outside air temperature, warning displays, odometer and automatic transmission shift indicator).
Another detail that has roots in Japanese design is the G's 'Washi'-style textured aluminum-alloy accents. Washi is a form of elegant, handmade Japanese paper. The aluminum trim pieces are located on the center console, across the instrument panel and on the door panels.
The G's §teering wheel is double-stitched by hand – a process that takes more than an hour to complete. The benefit is significant, allowing the stitches to be moved away from where the driver's hands rest for a smoother, improved feel.
Another unique feature of the G Sedan is its available 10-speaker Infiniti Studio on Wheels™ by Bose® Premium Audio System, combining the 's first 3-way front door speaker array using 10-inch woofers wîth an audiophile-quality head unit incorporating double oversampling 24-bit 96KHz Burr Brown® Digital Audio Converters.
The G's optional touch screen Infiniti Navigation System features available XM ® NavTraffic™ wîth real-time traffic information and a 9.3GB Music Box hard drive. Other technologies include standard Infiniti Intelligent Key wîth Push Button Ignition, standard 7.0-inch color monitor display, available Infiniti iPod ® Interface and Driver's Audio Stage, standard XM ® Satellite Radio (requires XM ® subscription, sold separately), available RearView Monitor and Bluetooth ® Hands-free Phone System.
All 2008 G35s come equipped wîth standard leather-appointed seating in a choice of Wheat (except Sport-equipped vehicles), Stone or Graphite. Along wîth the standard Washi-style aluminum trim, premium genuine wood (straight-grained African Rosewood) accents are optionally available.
A New Generation V6 and FM Platform
The soul of the G35 has always been its dynamic performance and at the heart of its advanced drivetrain has always been its award-winning VQ35 3.5-liter V6 engine and advanced FM (Front Mid-ship) platform. Both engine and platform were significantly enhanced for use wîth the second-generation G Sedan.
The VQ-series V6, which has been named one of the 'Ten Best Engines' by Ward's Auto World magazine for 13 consecutive years (now in its fourth generation) was thoroughly revised last year, wîth approximately 80% of major parts (except bolts, O-rings and clips) redesigned.
The block features ladder frame construction for greater rigidity and crank journal and pin diameters were increased. The block height was increased by 8.4 millimeters to reduce piston side force and the engine center is now 15 millimeters lower, which also contributes to the G's improved dynamic performance.
Other new-generation engine enhancements included the addition of standard variable exhaust cam timing (eCVTCS), a higher redline (increased from 6,600 rpm to 7,600 rpm) and higher compression ratio (10.6:1 versus the previous 10.3:1), asymmetric piston skirts, twin knock sensors, improved coolant flow and new Iridium spark plugs.
A symmetric twin ram air intake system reduces airflow resistance by 18% and functionally increases horsepower while driving – for example, a three hp increase is achieved at 60 miles per hour versus the previous generation. The dual exhaust system features equal length exhaust manifolds and low muffler exhaust pressure (25% less than the first generation G35) to help improve engine breathing. Both are tuned to create a performance exhaust note, helping enhance driving pleasure.
The engine is rated 306 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque, a significant power improvement from the previous generation VQ, while also offering improvements in emissions and fuel economy.
The newest VQ engine design also includes a long list of advanced systems – including a Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS), a 'noiseless' timing chain for quiet operation, an electronically controlled 'drive-by-wire' throttle system, microfinished crank journals and cam lobes, and molybdenum coated lightweight pistons.
'There are a couple of unique features you notice about this new generation VQ engine – first, the great engine sound and the absence of the usual engine noises and vibrations,' said Igo. 'And secondly, the tuning strategy that is not strictly about standing-start acceleration, but a more refined balance of quick acceleration that builds continuously to the redline, which we call 'Swell' acceleration. It's a deepening pleasure that keeps getting better as you drive, like a building wave.'
The 2008 G Sedan again offers a choice of 5-speed automatic transmission wîth manual shift mode or a 6-speed manual transmission. (posted on conceptcarz.com) The 5-speed automatic features Downshift Rev Matching, Drive Sport mode and ASC (Adaptive Shift Control) that allows for sportier shifts in performance driving situations.
The 2008 G's driving pleasure is also due in great measure to its performance technology-inspired second generation FM platform, which locates the engine behind the front axle in the 'Front Mid-ship' position. The positioning of the engine provides good front-to-rear weight balance, while the combination of long wheelbase, manageable overall length and wide front and rear track adds to the G35 Sedan's overall handling stability.
The G's suspension is a 4-wheel independent design wîth lightweight aluminum components and front and rear stabilizer bars, designed to provide nimble and natural feeling handling, as well as a controlled, refined ride. The front suspension minimizes alignment changes through use of a single pivot lower wishbone and a long upper link. The rear design separates the shock absorbers and springs, locating the shock absorber inline wîth the wheel center to help reduce suspension friction and reduce the wind-up motion of the axle on acceleration.
2008 Infiniti G35 Sport 6MT and Sport Package-equipped RWD models offer an optional Four-Wheel Active Steer system, which helps improve vehicle handling performance by varying the front §teering ratio and adjusting the geometry of the rear suspension according to §teering input and vehicle speed.
The 2008 G35 is also offered wîth a state-of-the-art 'intelligent' all-wheel drive system. The G35x AWD model features Infiniti's ATTESA E-TS (Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All Electronic Torque Split) all-wheel drive system, which is also utilized on the M35x, M45x, EX and FX.
The system utilizes an active torque distribution management system wîth an active center clutch designed for smooth starts and better traction and maneuverability on snowy roads than conventional all-wheel drive systems, plus minimal compromise of rear-wheel drive performance characteristics on dry roads.
All 2008 G35s, rear-wheel and all-wheel drive, come wîth Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), helping to enhance vehicle stability under a variety of driving conditions, while Viscous Limited Slip Differential (VLSD) is included on RWD G35 Sport-equipped vehicles.
The G's brake system utilizes power-assisted 4-wheel vented disc brakes wîth 4-channel, 4-sensor Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA). Larger brakes are offered on the G35 Sport 6MT and Sport Package RWD-equipped models. Also available is a Preview Braking system (with Intelligent Cruise Control). The power §teering system is a twin-orifice vehicle-speed-sensing design, which provides optimum §teering effort at both high and low vehicle speeds.
The 2008 G features standard 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels wîth P225/55R17 tires, and 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and 225/50R18 front and P245/45R18 rear W-rated tires on the G35 Sport 6MT and Sport Package-equipped RWD models. An 18-inch Wheel and Tire Package, wîth 225/50R18 tires, is now offered on G35x AWD wîth Sport Package models (late availability). A Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) is standard on all 2008 G35 Sedans.
All 2008 G35 Sedans come equipped wîth Infiniti's Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) wîth dual-stage supplemental air bags wîth seat belt sensors and occupant classification sensor, front-seat side-impact supplemental air bags and roof-mounted side-impact curtain air bags for front- and rear-seat occupant head protection.
Also standard are 3-point ALR/ELR seat belts (driver's side ELR only) and front seat belts wîth pretensioners and load limiters and adjustable upper anchors, front seat Active Head Restraints and the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system. Brake-Operated Pre-Crash Seat Belts are available as part of the Technology Package.
The G35 also features Zone Body Construction wîth front and rear crushable zones to help disperse crash energy around the passenger compartment.
Four Available Models
The 2008 Infiniti G35 Sedan is available in four models – G35, G35 Journey, G35x AWD and G35 Sport 6MT. In addition to the long list of standard and available equipment on the G35, G35 Journey and G35x AWD models, G35 Sport 6MT models (as well as models equipped wîth the Sport Package) add drilled aluminum pedals, sport seats wîth thigh extensions and driver's power bolster adjustments, upgraded brakes and Viscous Limited Slip Differential, along wîth magnesium paddle shifters on Sport Package-equipped models.
Several options and packages are available for the 2008 G35 Sedan, including the Sport Package (newly available on 2008 G35x AWD), new G35x AWD 18-inch Wheel and Tire Package, Performance Tire and Wheel Package (G35 Journey), Premium Package, Moonroof, Navigation Package, Technology Package, Four-Wheel Active Steer Package, rear spoiler and straight-grained Premium African Rosewood trim.

6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook [his] raiment, and said to them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads: I [am] clean: from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles. | 6 But when the Jews opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am clear of my responsibility. From now on I will go to the Gentiles." |
7 And he departed thence, and entered into the house of a certain man named Justus, [one] that worshiped God, whose house joined close to the synagogue. | 7 Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God. |
8 And Crispus the chief ruler of the synagogue believed on the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptized. | 8 Crispus, the synagogue ruler, and his entire household believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard him believed and were baptized. |
9 Then the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: | 9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: "Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. |
10 For I am with thee, and no man shall lay hands on thee, to hurt thee: for I have many people in this city. | 10 For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city." |
11 And he continued [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. | 11 So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God. |
12 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment-seat, | 12 While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack on Paul and brought him into court. |
13 Saying, This [man] persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. | 13 "This man," they charged, "is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law." |
14 And when Paul was now about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong, or hainous crime, O [ye] Jews, reason would that I should bear with you: | 14 Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, "If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanor or serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you. |
15 But if it is a question of words and names, and [of] your law, look ye [to it]: for I will be no judge of such [matters]. | 15 But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law--settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things." |
16 And he drove them from the judgment-seat. | 16 So he had them ejected from the court. |
17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat [him] before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things. | 17 Then they all turned on Sosthenes the synagogue ruler and beat him in front of the court. But Gallio showed no concern whatever. |
18 And Paul [after this] tarried [there] yet a good while, and took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn [his] head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow. | 18 Paul stayed on in Corinth for some time. Then he left the brothers and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. Before he sailed, he had his hair cut off at Cenchrea because of a vow he had taken. |
19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. | 19 They arrived at Ephesus, where Paul left Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. |
20 When they desired [him] to tarry longer time with them, he consented not: | 20 When they asked him to spend more time with them, he declined. |
21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return to you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus. | 21 But as he left, he promised, "I will come back if it is God's will." Then he set sail from Ephesus. |
22 And when he had landed at Cesarea, and gone up and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch. | 22 When he landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church and then went down to Antioch. |
23 And after he had spent some time [there], he departed and went over [all] the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples. | 23 After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out from there and traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples. |
24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, [and] mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. | 24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. |
25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in the spirit, he spoke and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. | 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John. |
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: Whom, when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him to [them], and expounded to him the way of God more perfectly. | 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately. |
27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he had come, helped them much who had believed through grace. | 27 When Apollos wanted to go to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On arriving, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed. |
28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, [and that] publicly, showing by the scriptures, that Jesus was Christ. | 28 For he vigorously refuted the Jews in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ. |

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 For three years Syria and Israel continued without war. | 1 For three years there was no war between Aram and Israel. |
2 But in the third year Jehosh'aphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel. | 2 But in the third year Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to see the king of Israel. |
3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, "Do you know that Ramoth-gilead belongs to us, and we keep quiet and do not take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?" | 3 The king of Israel had said to his officials, "Don't you know that Ramoth Gilead belongs to us and yet we are doing nothing to retake it from the king of Aram?" |
4 And he said to Jehosh'aphat, "Will you go with me to battle at Ramoth-gilead?" And Jehosh'aphat said to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses." | 4 So he asked Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth Gilead?" Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses." |
5 And Jehosh'aphat said to the king of Israel, "Inquire first for the word of the LORD." | 5 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, "First seek the counsel of the LORD." |
6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall I go to battle against Ramoth-gilead, or shall I forbear?" And they said, "Go up; for the Lord will give it into the hand of the king." | 6 So the king of Israel brought together the prophets--about four hundred men--and asked them, "Shall I go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?" "Go," they answered, "for the Lord will give it into the king's hand." |

OniHaunts Christmas 2012 Pt. 3: The Osbourne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney's Hollywood Studios
There are so many pictures of this one that I had to put them in the gallery below. Basically The Osbourne Spectacle of Dancing Lights is a Christmas festival in which they put a ton of lights on part of Disney's Hollywood Studios that are synchronized to special music. They serve alcohol and holiday themed drinks like Hot Chocolate and Egg Nog. (All delicious.)
It's pretty amazing:
After the lights we went to eat Christmas Eve dinner at the Sci Fi Dine In which happens to be one of our favorite restaurants because you get to watch 1950s Sci Fi clips while you eat at tables that are built to look like cars. The place is decorated to make it look like you are outside. :D
The Sci Fi Dine In is home of the Picnic Burger which I call A FIASCO ON A BUN! It's got a burger, grilled hot dog, sauerkraut, sauteed onions, mustard, and ketchup; served with fries or cucumber salad. :D It's one of Harknell's favorites. :D You can find more details about that here.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the solar review. Previously I talked about how this website would be used to review a number of different solar powered products. I originally thought I'd format this in such a way where I'd review one different product for each post. But today, I wanted to do things differently, and as this is our first proper article, I thought it'd be quite fun to talk about a number of different solar powered products rather than just one.
In fact, my discussion won't focus on products per se, but ways that solar power can be used, which is then manifested in products. This will help us when referencing future reviews.
There is a huge number of things that solar power can be used for, and probably quite a bit more than you'd expect.
The first and obvious one that comes to mind is that the power of solar is harvested to use for electrical energy, and lighting your house for instance. This is definitely still the most traditional way in which the power is harnessed.
What some don't know is that it can also be used to power individual lights too. These can obviously be used in a number of ways. For example, you can purchase individual lights that you stick into the ground, say next to a pathway in your garden. They have a strip or panel across the top of the light which absorbs the solar energy and powers the light when it gets dark.
If you're feeling creative, then these individual lights can also be used in many different ways. I remember reading something on the internet once about how someone had used these lights and had created an outdoor chandelier for their garden. It was pretty ingenious. Personally, I prefer the best custom and bespoke chandeliers available, but if you need one for your garden then this is a great option!
Anyway, back to our main topic. If you don't know too much about it, then it's worth learning more. But, in short, energy from the sun can be used in so many different ways its very easy to lose count. From radios to keyboards, anything that is usually powered with electricity can be powered by solar energy.

Sep 17th 2008 12:09PM A lot of what you're saying here sounds bad, but I take it as a nice change. I'm excited for the new advantages/disadvantages. It's what makes the expansion worth playing and trying out. If things stayed the same, theres just no point in continuing with the game as a hunter!
On a side note, very well written and I enjoyed the humor. I had to stop myself from chuckling to myself during class! =)
Oh and those wolves do look cool! But Im still deciding what kind of pet to stick with... perhaps my trusty cat ^-^

We have no entry way at all. The door opens and even an 8 inch shelf behind the door is the maximum shelf space. The bookshelf I use for a landing pad just feels bulky. It's a nuisance. There's no place for shoes. Boots can go on the closet floor. The inside of the closet (tiny!) door holds caps and scarves and gloves in a over door shoe hanger -- I don't want shoes hanging there -- it's kind of revolting to have them smack up against the crowded coats, etc. SOOOOooo. Why not H A N G an over door shoe pocket thing on the wall behind the door! I can get somebody to put a couple of screw/bolt things in the wall. Then put up a narrow shelf above -- maybe 5 inches wide and then hang a curtain or something nice on this narrow board to hide the shoes ???? I'd have to work it out but it's the only thing that seems possible. I'd even have the shelf removable because when you want to bring big stuff in here the door has to open all the way and I wouldn't want to have to get a handyman in to take the shelf down! What do you think? Has anybody done this? |
Follow-Up Postings:
bleusblue, who's shoes are you storing at the door? Just adults, or kids as well? You know your family. Are they all going to take the time to move the curtain aside and pick up their shoes and place them in the correct pocket? I ask because this would never have worked in my family when I was growing up. Getting my brothers to toss their coats on a hook on the wall instead of on the backs of the kitchen chairs was as much as my mother could do. Opening a door, or moving a curtain, just wouldn't work. Another thought--making the shelf removable just seems like asking for trouble to me. Wouldn't it be easier to remove the door if you need to bring in something big? Could you post a picture of the door area? It might help us help you brainstorm ideas. I've linked to an Ikea shoe cabinet that is 7 and 1/4 inches deep. |
Here is a link that might be useful: shoe storage
I would suggest you correct the bad habit of kicking shoes off at the front-door, not accommodate it. Shoes belong in your closets (or alternative storage in bedrooms) not at the entrance for guests to see. |
Another idea would be to see if some sort of closet system would give you more storage in the closet. You might be able to fit a couple of shelves for shoes under the hanging coats, for example. |
Oh thanks everybody. Definitely re thinking this! You know that idea came in the middle of the night and I thought it was so brilliant -- I still think hanging shoebags right on a wall somewhere might be the right idea, but yes, maybe the Ikea thing would be a better fit. Less fuss for sure. I don't think we'd take the door off -- it's a heavy metal door but strong men probably do it as a matter of course. There are no kids here but a husband who can never find anything and thus, every pair must be there, All the bins will be used. Thanks Camlan. Graywings -- where do you buy that narrow shelf? I have another spot where I can use it! Grainlady -- shoes and BOOTS always come off at the door here and there is really no place for them on the first floor. Bedroom closets upstairs -- who will carry their shoes upstairs and downstairs? It really depends on what kind of house you have I suppose. The closet which is right at the door can handle a couple of pairs but then there are the boots which have to be out ... It's never ending here. |

I am with you bleusblue ... we always take off shoes in the foyer, by the door. I cannot imagine walking through the foyer, up the stairs, down the hall, and into our room every time shoes needed to go on and off. |
bleusblue, I think your shoebag on the wall would work great in on a porch or in a mudroom. (It would also be great in a craft room for storing supplies, or a bathroom for shampoos and such.) It's putting it on the wall in your living room that is a problem. Then you need something to cover it, because who wants a wall full of shoes in the middle of their living room, but that cover would have to be removable in case you ever needed to open the front door all the way . . . . When things start to get complicated like that, I start to get twitchy. Because the basic idea is good, but executing it in a particular place needs too many modifications, and it starts to become less easy to do. Oh, and those Ikea shoe cabinets say that you have to fasten them to the wall. You don't, really. They are very stable on their own. Ikea just says that about any vertical sort of furniture--chests of drawers, bookcases, etc. If you had small kids who might pull them over on themselves, it could be an issue. But with just adults in the house, you really don't need to fasten the cabinets to anything. |
I designed and made that shelf. It is pieces of wood (1x4s) held together with L brackets. The adjustable shelves are held in place by inexpensive bookcase shelf supports. |
Graywings! I almost said it's unbelievable but I honestly see how I could do this -- or would have done it when it seemed life would go on forever. Now I would just ask my carpenter neighbour to make me one. I used to be able to move furniture by myself, almost anything and without harm because I had some ingenuity, I guess. Now, still strong but with some health issues behind me, I opt out. I miss it. Camlan -- thanks for the note about wall fastening. That makes the decision even easier. I can use it and maybe ask my neighbour sometime to make a little securing hook. I noticed Ikea has another one Henne? that might work. The hanging shoe bag would not be IN the living room. You walk in the front door from the hall (it's a condominium). stairs are directly in front of you, 3.5 feet. Stairs hug the wall to the right and that spot in the entry is where shoes will go. I'll put up a photo if I can make sense of it to show the space tomorrow. |
Dear friends -- I'm too lazy tonight to straighten up this shameful display. But this is just because I promised I'd post the scene. My excuse is I'm recovering from seasonal sneezes and misery but it does often get like this. Anyway, you see to the right is the refrigerator already! Previously I had a shelf on the wall next to the door facing stairs. I realised one day that I hated to go into the kitchen because I was always squeezing by! Yes, I've got to clean up those magnets on the door. There are some shoes on the bottom two shelves of that book case and the top part becomes a catchall. The tidiest place I ever lived was when my family had a 2nd floor apartment and you came through the door into a long hall that led directly to the kitchen. Things did get dumped there (my poor mother) but they got cleared out right away. I have never ever lived in a place with a so-called landing pad which is probably why I haven't organized better. It's a new term for me. Hoping you can see this and thanks for all the help you gave me. I'll go with the Ikea and reorganize the TINY closet to the right of the bottom stairs in the photo. |
bleusblue, that is a tiny space! I don't know why I thought the door opened into your living room. I do think that you have enough room to make a basic landing pad there. I've attached a link to a post at Apartment Therapy with some hints/ideas. If you search on the site, you'll find a ton more. You could probably put hooks on the brick wall for backbacks and bags, if you wanted to. |
Here is a link that might be useful: apartment therapy
We take our shoes and boots off at the door as well. We live in a land of snow and ice - I will NOT have wet shoes tromping all over the house! I have 2 wire shelves in the bottom of my foyer closet. Between hubby and two teenaged sons (all with big feet), we had a jumble of shoes in the closet, until I came up with this (I'm not home, so can't take a photo). Now I have 3 levels of shoes, and even if the boys kick theirs off onto the floor, DH and I keep ours tidy. Would something like this fit in your closet? |

Who Wuzzat?
The third installment of background for Chaos Marauders |
Chaos Marauders | Published 15 October 2009 |
When Chaos Marauders first came out, it had a Da Whozit Sekshun in the back of the rulebook. We are going to be putting these in the Support section of the Chaos Marauders minisite.
The average stone (or offal, flameball, and just about anything else) thrower takes about twenty large trees to build.
This may seem unimportant except that it is the cause of much fighting. After all, Orcs want to destroy, not spend hours carefully chopping up nice bits of wood for some addlebrained engine builder!
Claws of Malal
This regiment of Chaos Beastmen worships Malal, the renegade Chaos God. They are more than willing to join in tribal disputes and annihilate the followers of other, lesser deities, while showing the purest form of Chaos to the rest of the army.
Crummy Snotling Slaves
Always good for a laugh, these scurvy, wretched little slave units find themselves roped into most Orc campaigns; sometimes with promises of great rewards and more often with twenty feet of rope and a pointed stick! They are useless in battle, serving as mere cannon fodder to pad out the more valuable Orcish ranks. However, some provide other useful services for the army, such as the Whipping Post Mob or the highly skilled Nose Pick Brigade.
Dragromm Flailbreath
A high-ranking Chaos Champion, Dagromm has a personal hatred for anything Dwarven, and will lead any attack against Dwarven strongholds or units. With his rotted face and bestial frame, he is feared by the Orcs and always obeyed. He is easily recognized by the many Dwarven bones fused to his black iron wargear, and misses no opportunity to extend his collection.
Garok Varokroksenrok
Three years ago, this brilliant Dwarf engineer from Karaz-a-Karak was invited to the Human city of Talabheim to review its siege defenses. On his first night in the city, he was kidnapped by Clan Skryre Skaven, who were intent on gaining his precious knowledge. Since then, he has been dragged from hell-hole to hell-hole, bravely keeping silent. He serves now as a banner, and his moaning, crucified form will be one of the first things that the Dwarfs at Mad Dog Pass see when the Orc army attacks.
Grivziz Dirtballs
Many years ago, one of the Psycho Orcs of the Dripping Canker first invented the game of dirtball. This exciting pastime involves a number of fresh Dwarf heads being kicked round a cave mouth (the Ggg' Hole). The Dirtballs are constantly "striving for perfection," hoping to develop a team to match the classic lineup of '66 (1566 Dwarf Date).
Leaders change when the team hits a losing streak; one of the players kills the leader and takes control. Ugmuk Mungrell, the previous boss, ended his thirty years at the top with the oft-quoted words: "Agghhh, you've killed me, Grivziz."
Hak Veinthrob's Volunteers
This well-bruised fighting force has been assembled, harassed, and bullied by the mortifying Hak Veinthrob. This veteran has a tendency to go blood-burstingly berserk at the drop of a helm, which not only earns him a healthy amount of respect but also leaves him with a terrible hangover. This, of course, only makes him even angrier...
Hobgoblin Musician/Standard
In the heat of marauding, spare a thought for these poor creatures who, unprotected and puny, are a tempting target for many a would-be Orc champion who has his eye on either the tatty Hobgoblin standard or the "Boozy and Sloshed" bone horn.
Hobgoblins rarely accompany their dangerous and unstable Orc allies into battle, but they do send their standards and musicians. If the Orcs win, the Hobgoblins take more than their share of the credit, and if the Orcs lose...well, who'll miss a couple of cheerleaders?
Horned Rat Standard
The standard of The Horned Rat is an effigy of a most foul and horrible Chaos God revered by the Skaven Lords of Decay. The Orcs so fear the rodent deity that they would never risk its wrath by accidentally damaging the standard. Consequently, no battle line with the Horned Rat Standard in it will ever be attacked.
Chaos Marauders is a classic card game of fast and frenzied Orcish mayhem. Players build their battle lines as they prepare to assault their foes.

Would you match earrings, bracelet, and necklace? Or is that too much? Earrings and bracelet, or earrings and necklace only? |

I think it depends on the jewelry. If it is big, bold eye-catching pieces, it might be better to substitute something coordinated but simpler for one of the pieces. That's just my two cents. Tell us about the jewelry... |
I go the opposite of matchy, I never buy the matching set. I've stopped wearing earrings a few years ago, so I go bolder on the necklace, softer on the bracelet. |

Because they are so close together I usually match earrings and necklace of the same type. Silver with silver, gold with gold,etc. They don't have to match to much in style but I do keep what they are made of matching. Bracelets, when I do wear them,are far enough away from my face that it is not that important to match up with the other items. NancyLouise |
I'm looking at faux multi colored pearls. They're not terribly expensive, but they are muted colors and would go with just about everything. I can't figure out what to get. I'm definetly getting the earrings, and probably the bracelet, but I can't decide if I want to get the necklace or not, or what size, it comes in 18" or 20". I was thinking of getting all three. I'm sure I'd wear at least two of the item together, but was wondering if wearing all three would be too much. I usually wear all three pieces of jewelry, but never anything that actually matches except most of my jewelry is gold. |
The plain of white pearls that I have do not match my earrings that are a sort of a medium tear drop with small diamonds. I do have a long strand of multi colored brown pearls with matching earrings. For some reason I think pearls should go together. As for the other jewlerly that I wear, I would rather it not match in style. In color yes but not in style. I have some nice jewlery that I've had for years that are matching sets. I now just mix it up. |
The more I looked at that jewelry, the less I thought I'd wear it. It's just not what I'm looking for. |

We're pretty excited to release Web Search 9 to the world. You can learn more about it here:
And press release here: [inktomi.com...]
Let us know what you think!
Somehow this smells like a PFI fee hike in the making.
Great! Now here's hoping all those updates are gonna help and not hurt :)
I can't wait to start seeing 14-day refreshes.
Are we going to see a free submit page again?
Somebody needs to go back and re-read The Cluetrain Manifesto [cluetrain.com].
#61: Sadly, the part of the company a networked market wants to talk to is usually hidden behind a smokescreen of hucksterism, of language that rings false�and often is.
#62: Markets do not want to talk to flacks and hucksters. They want to participate in the conversations going on behind the corporate firewall.
#75: If you want us to talk to you, tell us something. Make it something interesting for a change.
Is there a page somewhere that lists the current Inktomi partners? Do all of them support the new features?
home � product1 � <b>search query match</b> � aboutus � etc....
Inktomi's search submit customers at the very least deserve the right to define their own meta description content for the search result summary, not some random scrambled text from the page and not a poorly written DMOZ description.
I would however like to congratulate Inktomi on the quicker indexing, that's great!
Mea culpa. I agree 100% with your post except for one small detail - the reply wasn't to a very "direct" question at all. The question was along the lines of "prove to us that you're not dead". I figured the best response to that was to point the poster to our new release of Search 9, the best proof, IMHO, of the massive investment in our product and our business over the past year.
As for new portal partners, we're usually prohibited from talking about those negotiations until deals are signed and delivered. As a public company, those are restrictions we just have to live with, like it or not. I wish I could share every discussion and conversation with the folks here, but I can't. All I can say is that we're aggressively committed to expanding distribution and continuing the relationships we have and hope you take our word for it.
This happens to be one (of a very few) areas where we agree with Google - hucksterism sucks. Ask some good questions and we'll give you some good answers. But don't just simply call us names without substance. :-)
GK? Or does that refer to something else and you are sworn to secrecy?
Hands up all those that will use anything but google if looking for nightclubs and discount hotels for your next vacation to Spain.
Why don't the search engines understand that 1st it's relevancy . Just finished reading all kinds of nonsense in Inktomi's press release about Geotargetting and blah blah. Typical kind of press release put out by an overpaid & disinterested PR department.
Then some user called "Inktomi" says "we're very excided about Inktomi's future"...well my friend, we are not!
No, it was not GK - I can only speculate at what that must stand for. :)
Believe it or not, the internal code name was - Search 9. We've been referring to our macro releases by version numbers since the company was founded. That said, Search 9 does consist of a number of subprojects that had interesting code names. To give you one, Dreadnought was the code name of the new completely rearchitected database upon which Search 9 is deployed.
As far as I can see, partners such as PositionTech aren't yet offering these features.
Have I misunderstood here?
PositionTech has indeed deployed Search 9 at search.positiontech.com. Check it out and let us know what you think.
p.s also are you planning to support spidering of dynamic pages better in the near future?
Thanks for the compliments. We do our best to spider dynamic pages, but it's often hard for crawlers to get to them. Our Index Connect paid inclusion program allows publishers to use an XML data feed, which means the content gets right into the index and can include dynamic pages or even search results pages.
Do you have any advice Inkguy?
And BTW, welcome and congrats on the yahoo deal.
Thanks for the congratulations, we are all pretty psyched! Send me your URLs via stickymail - I'll do my best to look into the problem after the holidays.

How email works (MTA, MDA, MUA)
However, the short introduction below has been provided to help users understand its basic principles, give them an idea of how to best configure their email clients and inform them about the underlying mechanisms of spam.
How email works
Email is based around the use of electronic mailboxes. When an email is sent, the message is routed from server to server, all the way to the recipient's email server. More precisely, the message is sent to the mail server tasked with transporting emails (called the MTA, for Mail Transport Agent) to the recipient's MTA. On the Internet, MTAs communicate with one another using the protocol SMTP, and so are logically called SMTP servers (or sometimes outgoing mail servers).
The recipient's MTA then delivers the email to the incoming mail server (called the MDA, for Mail Delivery Agent), which stores the email as it waits for the user to accept it. There are two main protocols used for retrieving email on an MDA:
- POP3 (Post Office Protocol), the older of the two, which is used for retrieving email and, in certain cases, leaving a copy of it on the server.
- IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol), which is used for coordinating the status of emails (read, deleted, moved) across multiple email clients. With IMAP, a copy of every message is saved on the server, so that this synchronization task can be completed.
For this reason, incoming mail servers are called POP servers or IMAP servers, depending on which protocol is used.
To use a real-world analogy, MTAs act as the post office (the sorting area and mail carrier, which handle message transportation), while MDAs act as mailboxes, which store messages (as much as their volume will allow) until the recipients check the box. This means that it is not necessary for recipients to be connected in order for them to be sent email.
To keep everyone from checking other users' emails, MDA is protected by a user name called a login and by a password.
Retrieving mail is done using a software program called an MUA (Mail User Agent).
When the MUA is a program installed on the user's system, it is called an email client (such as Mozilla Thunderbird, Microsoft Outlook, Eudora Mail, Incredimail or Lotus Notes).
When it is a web interface used for interacting with the incoming mail server, it is called webmail.
Open relay
By default, and for historical reasons, it is not necessary to authenticate oneself to send email, which means that it is very easy to falsify one's own address when sending mail.
For this reason, nearly all Internet service providers lock down their SMTP servers to that only their subscribers can use them, or more precisely only machines whose IP address belongs to the ISP's domain. This explains why travelling users must modify the outgoing server settings in their email clients each time they move to a new home or business.
When an organization's email server is improperly configured and allows third-party users on any network to send emails, this is called an open relay.
Open relays are generally used by spammers, as using them hides the true origins of their messages. As a result, many ISPs keep an up-to-date blacklist of open relays, to keep subscribers from receiving messages from such servers.

geographical name \lȯ-ˈrā-zhə, -shə\Definition of LAURASIA
(Concise Encyclopedia)Hypothetical former supercontinent in the Southern Hemisphere, which included modern North America, Europe, and Asia (except peninsular India). The concept that the continents were at one time joined was first set forth in detail by Alfred Wegener in 1912. He envisioned a single great landmass, Pangea, which supposedly began to separate early in the Jurassic Period (approximately 200 million to 146 million years ago). Subsequent research distinguished between a northern landmass, Laurasia, and Gondwana. Laurasia is thought to have fragmented into the present continents largely during the end of the Cretaceous Period and the beginning of the Paleogene Period. See also continental drift.

Before RCIU existed, an agricultural, livestock or oilfield related crime was usually reported to an outlying Substation. Very often, a Detective wasn't assigned to the area and, in a large portion of the cases, there was little or no follow-up investigation. The industries' lack of security and lack of any intentional crime prevention was also a factor that had to be addressed. Under-reporting of thefts and other rural crimes was prevalent. As cases grew more numerous, law enforcement had to develop strategies to deal with the problem of rural industrial theft. Historically, investigators knew the suspects in the rural industrial thefts were by-and-large experienced criminals who knew what they were stealing and how to sell the property. It was also clear that these criminals had no regard for boundaries between cities, counties or even states. The very nature of rural crime also had to be considered: it is easy to steal from a remote area when no one is around.
Out of these concerns and many others, the Central Valley Rural Crime Prevention Task Force was conceived and was eventually funded through a state grant. The Kern County Rural Crime Investigation Unit, working with the seven other counties, has made a substantial impact on rural crime. The eight county Detectives are in constant contact with each other. Once a criminal is identified, the other units are briefed on their Modus Operandi (MO) and location.
RCIU also spends countless hours addressing crime prevention efforts. From site security reviews to the Owner Applied Number Program, RCIU has been very successful in helping rural industries help themselves to reduce rural crime. Through these efforts, the problem of under-reporting of crimes has improved. When the unit first began operations, detectives literally had to look for cases. RCIU proved to be an educational resource to rural industries and other law enforcement personnel. Because of the educational efforts of RCIU, the unit's caseload has grown to incredible numbers. On average RCIU recovers over $1 million is stolen property, per year.

Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter (POFQ) is not a real visit to the "Big Easy", but the building facades, wrought-iron balconies and colorful New Orleans Mardi Gras style decorations does invoke a southern, warm and visually detailed environment that comes real close Disney style.
[Photo sources for this post include my own, AllEars.Net, PortOrleans.Org, and the Disney Food Blog.]
Port Orleans comprises two parts: Mary Ann and I have stayed at the Riverside portion twice before but this was our first French Quarter visit. I've always heard how nice the POFQ is, and my favorite podcaster Lou Mongello raves about it. It's all true and an absolutely wonderful place to stay. In fact, we split our trip between the moderate resort POFQ and the high-end Wilderness Lodge. Although I'll talk about the Lodge at a later date, we both agreed the less expensive POFQ was a much better stay for us and we'll stay here again. [One of my recommended web sites, AllEars.Net has some useful fact sheets, photos and reviews.]
One of the Disney fan web sites I used when planning for this last trip was PortOrleans.Org, which is the Unofficial Visitor's Guide to Riverside and French Quarter. The web site is not connected to the Walt Disney Company, but if you want to know anything about Port Orleans, this is the place to go. There are plenty of photos and wallpaper plus videos of the site, One is a 35 minute video walking tour of the entire resort . There are maps, news stories, service and recreation information and even the Port Orleans back story, because everything at Disney has an interesting and creative story.
All the facilities you need for a trip are here, including a really appealing Doubloon Lagoon pool that has a decorative slide. There are various watercraft rentals over at Riverside, as well as bikes and even a horse-drawn carriage ride.
PLANNING TIP: There are a lot of great foods at Walt Disney World which I'll be talking about it in my future posts; but at POFQ there's a snack that you MUST stop for even if you don't stay there. It's the Beignets.
Keeping with the New Orleans theme you would expect some French flavor and this fried dough specialty, puffed through deep frying and drenched in confectioner's sugar is to die for. This was our first time at POFQ and I guarantee no matter where we stay, the fresh, hot Beignets will draw us to this resort again and again. The Disney Food Blog has more photos to enjoy.
Running between the two Port Orleans sections is the Sassagoula River. This is a great waterway for personal watercraft but also to connect our resort to the Downtown Disney shopping and restaurant district using the free ferry boats. Not the fastest way to travel 2 ½ miles but that doesn't really matter on vacation, does it.
The view along the river is pleasant, especially approaching Downtown at night, plus it's very relaxing. The POFQ rooms are normal for the moderate pricing at Disney, with a standard or water view plus a Garden View area along the beautiful tree-lined streets. But we don't spend much time in the rooms anyway, so we were in the Standard which was very convenient and had everything we needed.
POFQ holds 1,000 rooms but you'd never know it. The Riverside section has 2,000 rooms, with a giant footprint; getting from one side to another at Riverside is a long walk including over an Island. Don't get me wrong, I'd stay at both in a heartbeat.
But there is something special about the courtyards, river walk, gas lamp style lighting and tree lined walkways that made our stay at Port Orleans French Quarter one of the best we've ever had at WDW; and the most romantic as well. Thank you Lou.

Developer Homepage: http://www.passmark.com
Test Homepage: http://www.passmark.com
Many users complain that I/O Meter is too complicated of a benchmark to replicate results so my quest to find an alternative was started. Passmark has added several multi-user tests that measure a hard drives ability to operate in a multi-user environment.
The tests use different settings to mimic basic multi-user operations as they would play out on your server. Variances is read / write percentage as well as random / sequential reads are common in certain applications, Web Servers read nearly 100% of the time while Database Servers write a small amount of data.
The Workstation test is the only single user environment and will be similar to how you use your system at home.

Hello! What would you recommend I plant in a "cleared" area that is subject to being overrun in late summer and fall by hay/weedy long grass? I have found that no matter how hard I try to clear the hay in the fall it comes back relentlessly in late summer. I do not have equipment or $ to clear the area mechanically and although I'm going to try and mulch some of the area this fall I know I'm fighting an uphill battle. So, what I'm looking for is something similar to goldenrod (goldenrod seems to grow incredibly well here). I have bought some joe pye rootstock and while I'd love to have a beautifully integrated mix of species I know that that most would not be able to compete in this environment. I have some Asclepias syriaca that has managed to survive and though I know joe pye and common milkweed can be aggressive species...they are native here and I'd rather be overrun by them than by hay! So can you throw in a few more aggressive yet native species that might have a chance of survival here? The area is in N. VA but is about 10 degs colder than urban areas because it's in the mtns. Though it's surrounded by woodland, the immediate area is devoid of trees and has only the shade of spicebushes and a few tulip poplar seedlings. It tends to bake in the summer. I actually saw a monarch butterfly on a goldenrod yesterday and we have hummers around so I need aggressive, yet native, butterfly/hummer magnet wildflowers that won't wilt in periods of little rain/baking sun. Any input would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank-you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
The late season thoroughworts (also Eupatorium) bloom white this time of year and also loved by monarchs. Liatris is very good as well. This would give you late summer blooms. I think a mini-meadow approach would be beautiful. You might try researching it from that angle. Flowers usually found in meadows can take the late summer sun and heat. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Meadow gardening
Thanks for your help esh! I will be looking into thoroughworts and liatris,,,,,you don't by any chance know of any sellers in my area or between you (GA) and me (VA)....online rootstock sellers? TN is where I usually find stuff but I can't find anyone that does these particular species. |
Sunlight Gardens has Liatris but not thoroughwort. I could send you some seed for that probably. |
Hummingbirds and bees love coral honeysuckle vines. Carolina jessamine is another good one if you like vines. Purple coneflowers, indian blankets, blackeye susans and coreopsis are standards for me. |
Lance leafed sunflower took over my garden. |

Beware of the Sunflowers, they want to control us! Why don't you try growing your own plants from seed. It is really enjoyable to start something form almost nothing and see it grow up, into a giant in some cases. I don't think you will ever be rid of the grasses unless you take stern action like totally killing it. But it would be worth it. |
Thank-you all for your replies! Dandy, I spent half of last yr "winter sowing"! I cut up milk bottles, decanted soil, etc etc. I grew Asclepias sp, columbine, button bushes, spicebushes, magnolias, Monarda sp. etc etc problem is I lost most of the seedlings to drought, strong, fast growing weeds and grass and slugs! I cannot bring myself to use more chemicals. I used some on the bittersweet vines and I feel bad about that. I know that in my case, chemicals are not going to work. I really haven't got the equipment or time to battle the meadow/hay/weed grass so I thought I'd identify the strong, maybe slightly invasive natives that will survive! I'd love to have a mix of native Asclepias but if I can get a few A. tuberosa and/or syriaca to take root in different spots I'll be happy! I will of course take the seed route again 'cause I can't afford plants...just wishful thinking. Maybe I'll try some coneflowers and hyssop....how bad are the sunflowers? |
