Hi all,
I am new to this site but had some questions on vanities. We have completely demoed our new house and now need new vanities in every bathroom. For example, our powder room has a 32 inch opening from wall to wall for a vanity. We realized that if we bought a 32 inch vanity that the granite top has overhang on each side so it will not fit. We would rather not have to do custom vanities but we are unsure how else to make it work. Any advice is gristly appreciated. Thanks! |

are you saying you already have the counter top? and it has sides on it? |
Are you looking for a stand alone vanity that already has the counter installed or a built-in? You can buy ready to install cabinets to fit your wall space and just have the counter of your choice installed wall to wall. I'm getting two 27" 2-door cabinets and one 15" cabinet with drawers to use in my 69.5" space. The manufacturer offers matching wood trim pieces to cover the gaps on the sides. The granite fabricator will install the counter to fit the cabinets and walls. |

I have a 36 inch space for a vanity in my powder room. Found a beautiful vanity that came with a stone top. Problem was the top was 36 1/2 inches. Thought I was going to have to take top off and get a custom granite top. My contractor suggested he could cut a notch in the drywall to fit the top in. We went with that idea and it looks great. Painted, caulked and put up backsplash tile to complete. |
I have seen some nice ones installed, and they are an economical route, but be a little careful. My friend got a ready made vanity complete at a big box store and she has not liked the granite on it nearly so well as her custom granite counters in the kitchen. The bathroom vanity granite has a lot of black; her kitchen is a typhoon bordeaux with a lot of deep burgundy in it. She says the bathroom shows water spots no matter what she does, and she thinks it's the finish that was used. See if you can do a water test on them and ask some questions. |
You can usually only find 24, 30, or 36 inch and so on in bath vanities. I don't know if I have ever come across a 32 inch bath vanity. There are a lot of great 30 inch size vanities out there and you would have room then for the counter overhang. Another thing is you can purchase many vanities without countertops, so if you could maybe find a 32 inch without a countertop then you can just find a rement piece of a granite you like and have to made to fit your vanity. |
Silkroad Exclusive sells 32" (or less) single vanities. I just put one in my bathroom remodel (although it was a 60" double vanity). http://www.silkroadexclusive.com/subcategory.php?subcategory=single_vanities_30_to_45&page_id=all |

Is Your Spa Lost in Internet Searches
By: Will Scott
Posted: September 28, 2012, from the October 2012 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 3
Where do you start? As with any marketing endeavor, it's important to fish where the fish are. But before you get started, you have to know what your name is. The fact is that many long-term businesses can have multiple versions of their name out there. Typically, a local business is started in the name of the owner. As it grows, it adopts a brand. You can publish versions of your name that include corporation marks, such as LLC. Once you know your name, stake a claim.
Start with Google maps (maps.google.com). Make sure your NAP matches the most authoritative version. Select appropriate categories. You only need to choose one of Google's recommended categories; the others can be descriptive of your business. However, the standard is that they should be what your business is rather than what you do. For instance, you may be a day spa or an esthetician.
From there, work the list while maintaining the consistency of your NAP. Once done, perform some searches in your local area for what you do. Identify where your competition is listed, and see if you can get a listing there, too. Whenever possible, try to include images, videos and any special features about your business. Getting started is the hard part. Once you take control of your NAP and focus on your local listings, you'll be surprised how quickly you find yourself moving up the list.

Bringing Control to the Classroom
Aug 6, 2008 12:00 PM, By Linda Seid Frembes
The problem facing many K-12 classrooms these days is integrating its AV products effectively. A classroom may have all the AV toolssuch as a projector, DVD player, iPod, document camera, interactive whiteboard, and classroom computerbut lacks an affordable control system that brings a cohesive ease of use. To address the issue, Calypso Control Systems, an AV manufacturer based in Hudson, Wis., has introduced the ezRoom classroom bundle. With prices starting at $1,999, Calypso's ezRoom bundle offers open architecture control, user interface, audio amplification, and connectivity in one solution.
"In 2007, our company had products installed in 7,500 classrooms," says David Parish, president of Calypso Control Systems. "After meeting to discuss the current market, it was clear that the biggest challenge was making sure the classroom AV was integrated smoothly. We left the meeting with the task to help shape AV for an integrated room."
The standard ezRoom package includes the ION-LT2 controller, Calypso's CA-1000 32W four-input amplifier, the CB-1000 wall-mount button panel, Cat-5 AV wall plates, encore! user interface software, Maestro admin monitoring software, and a universal ceiling projector mount. The pre-assembled package does not include input sources or a computer. "The ezRoom bundle is a price benefit for customers. It is shipped as a prewired solution, which also saves on labor costs," says Parish, who points out that most of ezRoom's wiring uses standard RJ-45 Ethernet cables to minimize any installation mistakes.
Dealers can use the encore! user interface software to create a custom user interface for the classroom computer. Parish adds that teachers will often use the classroom's interactive whiteboard as a projection surface and use it like a big control board. In addition, the ION-LT2 is network-capable and, coupled with the Maestro monitoring software, it gives school administrators the ability to monitor the AV equipment for maintenance and theft.

This is thee perfect glitter eyeliner by Too Faced. I was strolling through Ulta when a SA came by with awesome green shadow on her eyelids accented by this glitter eyeliner.
Absolutely no fall out! Was perfect for my St. Patrick's Fundraiser at my church.
I first lined my lids with Stila's new pot called "going green", then eyelined with pencil green liner by Urban Decay. And finally, topped off with this product as the piece de resistance!
Compared with other glitter eyeliners, this one excels.
Try it, you'll love it!
I finally picked up some liquid glitter liner from Ulta the other day! I love it. I went with Too Faced because their green was brighter than Urban Decay's. Obsessed Fan has bright green and some lime green glitter in it. This is just glitter in a clear base. I put on three or so lines at my lashes over a smoky, deep green shadow look when I went out and got lots of compliments. Make sure you let each line dry before you open your eyes wide and between each layer.

Jennifer Lawrence was visiting Conan O'Brien and told him if she hadn't been an actress, she would've liked to be a hotel maid because she likes to clean and snoop through people's shit. She then told the tale about how recently she was given an assortment of butt plugs "as a joke" and hid them under her hotel bed. When she returned the maid had thoughtfully arranged them in a display on her night table. Ah, the old 'gag gift' excuse that people have been employing since the first wife ever found Ben Wa balls in her husbands sock drawer. Mostly Jennifer's story has me once again imagining the actual horror of being a hotel maid and the shit you must find when cleaning those rooms. Yep, most of those nasty porn clips you're watching for free online were shot in a hotel room somewhere. That BBW MILF taking a train of college studs was probably shot at the Holiday Inn you might be staying in for Christmas. Don't be surprised to find a pair of oversized panties stuffed behind the headboard. And that's what people are doing when there's a camera on them. Imagine what guests are doing in the privacy of their own travel abodes. Sure, occasionally you'll get Oscar winning actress butt plugs. But that's like pulling a winning Lotto ticket. The rest of the time it's spooge stained towels by way of Joel from Akron. Somebody's got to refold that towel and put it back in the rack for the next guy to wipe his face with.

Conan O'Brien Pusses Out on Muslim Joke
Apologizing for offensive jokes is like taking a dump in the humor sacrament. Everybody is offended by something. That can't possibly be a standard. Conan O'Brien pulled a Tweet about the new Marvel comics superhero, Ms. Marvel, following cries of racism and disparagement of Muslims. Oh, boo fucking hoo. No, it's not a particularly funny joke, if for no other reason than Conan's Twitter writer didn't know that the Ms. Marvel character is a high school girl in the new storyline. But it's just a joke. Obama might feel a need to never use the word Muslim within ten Ramadans of the word terrorism, but comedians are supposed to be beyond the political art of cowardice. Offended people will always find a way to be offended. You know what's truly disparaging of Muslims? Assuming they can't take a fucking joke.
Ke$ha Writes Songs With Her Tits Now
Whether she's whoring it up with ghosts or writing songs about her vagina with her mom, Ke$ha is never short of hilariously unique and edgy stories to tell reporters and talk show hosts. And, of course, by hilarious and edgy, I mean anything that pops into her brain within seconds after thinking to herself, "Quick, say something retarded so people keep talking about you!"
Ke$ha appeared on Conan earlier this week and showed off her inner lip tattoo that reads, "Suck it", as a message to her haters. But Conan O'Brien also asked her about her songwriting process, and she described how she writes some of her songs by turning off all the lights, taking off her shirt, lowering herself over her piano's keys and slapping her tits on them to "just tickle the ivories".
And then Jason Collins showed up and said, "See? This is why."

Conan and Letterman made fun of Leno some more
It's been 20 years since Jay Leno weaseled his way into hosting the Tonight Show, taking the job from David Letterman, and 2 years since he did the exact same thing to Conan O'Brien, which is why Letterman was absolutely delighted to have Conan on his show last night for the first time in 13 years.
"I've known Jay a long long time," Letterman said. "We go back to the mid 70s, back in Los Angeles at the Comedy Store. Jay was always the guy — the funniest guy — he was the guy you'd go to see. He was the guy that you wished you could be more like. He was funny. He was also, uh… a bit of a brat. So then, oh you know, when this came along, I said to myself, 'Oh yes, this is the Jay I know.'"
"Hey, mor-more like David Fretterman and Conan O'Cryin, am I right Jay!"

'Anchorman 2′ will make that little kitty pur
Will Ferrell interrupted Conan O'Brien last night to sooth the crowd with a little jazz flute, give him some much needed advice, and then to announce that Paramount has finally gotten their head out of their ass and agreed to let him do a sequel to 'Anchorman'.
Adam McKay will direct again, Judd Apatow will produce again, and Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and David Koechner are all expected back. Christina Applegate may not return however, but not because she's on Whore Island. Apparently that's not a real place, unless you count Australia.
Tuesday afternoon headlines
CONAN O'BRIEN – brought in 4.2 million viewers last night for the premiere of his TBS show, easily defeating Leno (3.5 million) and Letterman (3.4 million). And he showed how they plan to keep using old characters like the Masturbating Bear while getting around NBC's intellectual property right claims. When it comes to apex predators wacking off, accept no substitutes. (deadline)
SETH ROGEN – says he was so nervous to propose to his girlfriend, he just ran in the house and did it. It was not good timing. "She was in our closet, changing, and she was literally only in her underpants. I had already kind of started. I didn't picture it like this, and I know she didn't picture it like this." Wow so she was topless? What a whore! (people)
KRISTEN STEWART – will be "practically naked, a lot" in the next Twilight movie, though I didn't catch the name of it. To be honest I thought we were done with these. How long is this gonna go on? (e!)

Roman Catholics around the world are observing Ash Wednesday, which marks the start of Lent.
The 40-day period of fasting, which leads up to Easter, is meant to serve as a time of reflection and repentance.
Rev. John Giuliani, pastor of St. Philip Neri Catholic Church in Fort Mill, described the season as "spiritual spring training for Christians."
"We confront our frailness, our failures," he told The Herald. "And the ashes symbolize our broken dreams."
Worshippers traditionally have their foreheads marked with the sign of the cross in ash. It's a reminder of the third chapter of Genesis which reads, "You are dust, and to dust you shall return."

Practice of the denial of physical or psychological desires in order to attain a spiritual ideal or goal. Most religions have some features of asceticism. The desire for ritual purity in order to come in contact with the divine, the need for atonement, and the wish to earn merit or gain access to supernatural powers all are reasons for ascetic practice. Christian hermits and monks, wandering Hindu ascetics, and Buddhist monks all reject worldly goods and practice various forms of self-denial, including celibacy, abstinence, and fasting. Members of the Digambara sect of Jainism practice an extreme form of asceticism that includes the rejection of wearing clothes. Though monasticism is rejected in the Qur'an, ascetic movements such as zuhd have arisen in Islam. Zoroastrianism forbids fasting and mortification.

text: In her exquisite new book, Silber captures whole lifetimes in radiant, loosely linked first-person narratives. In ''My Shape,'' a woman meets her husband on a cruise ship, follows him to France, then leaves him to pursue a dance career in New York. But after she is humiliated by her snippy dance teacher -- who calls her a hippopotamus and commands her to lick his shoe -- she returns to Europe. Years later, she still thinks of him when she meditates: ''I have never had another enemy.'' Several pages into the next story, ''The High Road,'' you realize that the bitter narrator, a gay dancer suffering the agonies of unrequited love, is the same scornful teacher. The overlapping of these six delicate monologues gives this slender book the weight and breadth of a novel.

Finally, a Nissan in a mainstream segment that possesses some of the charm and style of the brand's many niche offerings. I love the Quest's slab-sided styling, if only because it goes directly against the swoopy-van trend currently pursued by the new Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. It's almost like it's saying, "Yeah I'm a huge van designed for carrying around juice boxes and dog kennels. You got a problem with that?" I don't. The interior isn't quite as spunky -- no shag carpets here, like in the Cube -- but is still more interesting to look at than the cabins of its main competitors. I'm too young and too single to test the van's kid-and-crap-carrying capability, but I do like the utility of the deep underfloor storage bin behind the third row.
Alas, this Quest has an unhappy conclusion due to one very significant flaw: the powertrain. We've all done plenty of complaining about the VQ V-6 -- apparently not enough, as it's not yet been replaced by something modern and refined. In this application, it sounds pained as it struggles against the Quest's 4500 pounds. Worse, the CVT automatic pins the engine in its most abrasive range. I can't imagine tolerating this noise when the competition from Honda, Toyota, and Chrysler (Chrysler!) has made a priority of engineering quiet, smooth engines and better transmissions.

text: Jerusalem, September 14, 2001 - Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NASDAQ: TEVA) today announced that an interim analysis of its Coral (oral Copaxone) trial showed a trend for a treatment effect in favor of the higher oral dose in patients who were treated for more than a year, although the difference has not reached statistical significance. The independent Data Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) that has been monitoring the trial has recommended continuing the trial to its completion by October 2001. As previously reported by Teva, the oral formulation could not be available for commercial use prior to 2003. Professor Henry McFarland the chairman of the DSMC said, "We are deeply impressed by Teva's commitment to develop the first oral therapy for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis patients. The trial should provide meaningful insight into the possible effect of the oral treatment. The DSMC recommends that the trial continue to its completion, although there is only a small likelihood that the final results of the study will be different than the interim results." Prof. Giancarlo Comi, the Chairman of the Clinical Steering Committee said: "We have been very surprised by the relatively few number of relapses during the trial compared to the same patients' relapse rates in the prior year. This may compromise the study's ability to detect a statistically significant effect. After all the information will be analyzed and considering the favorable safety profile, we may recommend to the company to conduct further trials."Eli Hurvitz, President and CEO of Teva said: "Our business is robust, and we expect to continue to fulfill the market's expectations for the years 2001, 2002, 2003 and beyond. The positive global market environment for generic pharmaceuticals and our significant ANDA pipeline in the U.S. will continue to support our strong growth objectives. While we are disappointed by the interim results we are encouraged by the positive trends seen in the trial. If these trends do not achieve statistical significance at the end of the trial it will take us longer to complete the development of oral Copaxone. The sales of Copaxone in its injectable form continue to grow very nicely. The results of additional clinical and MRI data released recently show why Copaxone is well on the way to becoming the premier therapy for MS." Mr. Hurvitz added further: "Out of respect for the terrible tragedy that occurred last week, Teva decided to postpone its 100 Anniversary events and celebration. Teva wishes to convey its deepest condolences to the American people and to all of its friends, clients, employees and their families in the United States. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., headquartered in Israel, is among the top 40 pharmaceutical companies and among the largest generic pharmaceutical companies in the world. Over 80% of Teva's sales are in North America and Europe. The Company develops, manufactures and markets generic and innovative human pharmaceuticals and active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This release contains forward-looking statements, which express the current beliefs and expectations of management.

OCEANIA/PAPUA NEW GUINEA - UN Coordinator in Papua: "Additional reflection is needed with regards to death penalty"
Port Moresby (Agenzia Fides) - "With regards to death penalty the government should take a bit of time for extra reflection. It is necessary to consider the next steps carefully and consider other options" says Roy Trivedy, UN representative resident in Port Moresby, urging the government to reconsider the reinstating of the death penalty, 50 years after the last execution in Papua New Guinea.
In a note sent to Fides, Trivedy explains: "Experience shows that the introduction of the death penalty is not an effective deterrent. All the research shows that in fact what matters is the confidence of the people on the certainty of punishment: when serious crimes are committed, the perpetrators will be arrested and punished within a reasonable period of time. It is the certainty rather than the severity of punishment that has to really discourage criminals".
The second problem, according to the UN representative, "is that regarding possible justice errors.
Even in highly and solid developed legal systems, there are real risks that people are wrongfully convicted and executed". Trivedy warns "the introduction of a tool that can have huge implications for the entire country and that will be a step backward". This is why he invokes "massive public awareness campaign to be carried out in Papua New Guinea, which would help people to understand", I express the hope of "alternative proposals" and "national dialogue", which includes all the components of society, on such a sensitive issue.

If so, have you had any personal experiences. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes and yes. And since I live in a 200 year old house, I'm sure they're all around me here, but seem to be pleasant and benign. I don't actively dwell on it, lest they become more communicative because the last time I lived in an old house where things went bump in the night, it wasn't a particularly pleasant experience. I suppose their personalities are just as diverse as they were when they had a corporal anchor and I also suppose if they're still floating around on this plane, that there is some sort of issue they must be dealing with or else they'd have moved on. |
They are all around us when they want to be, like being in a crowded room elbow to elbow. But having shed the corporeal self the limits of where to go in the universe are non existent. Wish to get the inner voice quiet enough to hear the adventures and stories that could be shared. |
Yes and yes. But only at the house in Shelbyville. So what about Jan? You didn't say what you thought or experienced ;) Suzy, Do tell about the "last time I lived in an old house where things went bump in the night, it wasn't a particularly pleasant experience.", please, please, please? Pretty please? :) Don, Do you really think all around us? That's a theory I haven't heard. Why do you think that? |
Well Rob, if you think about how many have come and gone before us and figure they take up space in some way in the ether it must be very crowded. But the transition frees the spirit to explore the universe so there is more area to occupy in the new form. When we have a need these spirits can fill they do gather round and attempt to help, at least I believe they do. I have had, more than once, the feeling of being in that crowded room at some points of unusualness in my life. Could be my mind creating the experience but still very vivid. |
must be too insensitive to have encountered any incorporeal spirits but there may be one living in our garden shed busy shuuling all the tools around. |
I have had, more than once, the feeling of being in that crowded room at some points of unusualness in my life. Could be my mind creating the experience but still very vivid. Wow. Can you explain one or two? I want to keep an "eye" open so that I notice better. Very very interesting. |
Not quite keeping an "eye' open as much as quieting the inner voice through meditation or great need/pain/surprise as in seeing my whole life flash before me. The slow motion of the surroundings seeing everything in minute detail. The mind is capable of so much if it can get out of its' own way. |

Just the ones that one carries around inside of one. |
Depending on your definition, maybe. |
Since moving here I have been forced to rethink the whole ghost thing. At first I noticed that my thermostat would be changed to cold. I kept trying to rationalize how that could happen while we were asleep. Every morning we would wake up freezing and when I checked the thermostat it would be all the way down. I always set it on 69 at night during the winter. I teased Katrina about Spook messing with the thermostat. One night I said " Spook please don't change the thermostat any more." It hasn't happened again. Spook does have a thing for my clothes and shoes. Sometimes I miss pieces of jewelry but when I ask for them back, they appear again. These are only a small part of the things going on but all I'll save Sassi's reaction for another time. |

(from Greek dioskouroi, sons of Zeus) Twin gods of ancient Greece and Rome. They aided shipwrecked sailors and accepted sacrifices for favourable winds. Castor was mortal and Pollux was immortal; when Castor was killed, Pollux disowned his immortality to join his brother. The pair were excellent horsemen and were said to have participated in the hunting of the Calydonian boar, the voyage of the Argo, and the rescue of their sister Helen (who had been captured by Theseus). They were believed to have aided the Romans in an important battle early in their history, and a temple in their honour was built in the Roman Forum.

I looked through the tournament rules and didn't see anything. I am hoping some of you guys that play the other LCGs can have some insight. Does FFG allow game aids in tournament play? For instance, a card list set to the side or on my phone? Or that action window chart from BGG?
Rules on game aids?

The action window chart is in the back of the rulebook, so I would be shocked if it wasnt allowed. Not sure if the BGG one is different, but if its even close, I'd probably allow it. Honestly, after a while you memorize it =)
Otherwise, it will likely be a case by case basis. If you wanted to have your decklist or you wanted to look up some card or whatever, I'd be more on the fence. In reality, you should really know what the cards do (to some degree) and what's in your deck. That being said, if you were my opponent and wanted to look up some card I'd be okay with it here and there as long as you realized if the game went to time (in a tournament, otherwise ignore) because of it you would have to concede due to delaying the game. I'd likely say the same thing as a TO, if you needed to look up card/deck related items that are common knowledge to both players I would force you to concede any games that went to time.
Again, this would be on acase-by-case basis, and many TOs would simply not allow this at all.

Netrunner specifically bans any kind of note-taking or "outside the game" player aids beyond the card that comes in the Core Set, and the framework chart for making a run from the FAQ, so FFG has certainly addressed "outside" information in other games.
To be quite honest, in casual play this wouldn't bother me, especially if your goal was to try and learn the Objective sets and that was your training tool, but in a tournament, you need to put that stuff away.
You get one hour to play TWO games, playing both your Light and Dark deck. There is simply not enough time to play both matches if you're stopping to reference your various charts. This would slow the game down and make every match go to time, which would mess with your opponent's scoring, especially if they were about to get a clean win off of you. In a Swiss tournament, you always want the full win over the adjusted, so you're basically stalling their ability to make finals.
Even being a complete neophyte would probably frustrate your opponents, especially if it was a Regionals type thing with more prizes at stake, but in the interest of sportsmanship, as the opponent of a total rookie in a tournament, I would be supportive of that. If you honestly feel like you need all kinds of player aids, then you need to practice more. Use flash cards if you have to, if you want to memorize all the Objective sets, but don't bring that stuff to the game. I think the only acceptable "player aid" would be the framework chart at the back of the rulebook, since it's an official game document, and it would be helpful to quickly reference Action windows, which can make for some complex interactions in the Conflict phase.
At most, your setup should be;
Objective Deck
Command Deck
Affiliation Card
Tokens, organized for easy access
An optional communal rulebook open to the framework page, placed in a way where both parties can see it without moving it around
An optional playmat
Remember, sportsmanship goes both ways. I've played tournaments where my opponent openly admitted to having never played against a live opponent before stepping up to me in the first round. I happily guided them through each part of the process, step-by-step, narrating everything I did, and asked them to do the same so we can be sure they didn't forget something critical.
However, as the person with no experience, know that your game-delaying actions are going to hinder the opponent's ability to place higher because of the scoring system. In practical terms, it would be no different than spoiling the clean win on purpose, because either way your opponent can't get full points, not because the "game" took that long, but because you were stopping the game all the time to reference your charts and your phone.
Go and work on your game playing skills. By that I mean play some solo games where all you do is play through your turn against nothing, just to get the various actions and order of operations drilled into your mind. If your issue is finding regular opponents, try playing online with OCTGN, or over web cam if you're brave. If you honestly won't be able to get in any actual gameplay in before the event, you just have to do drills by yourself so you can go in as knowledgeable as possible.
Use these boards in the meantime to answer your rules related questions, read the FAQ and the rulebook. Then read them both again. And again. And probably again, because those little details will screw you up.
"Play" versus "put into play" is a good example of a small thing that messes new players up. Just like using Red 2's ability when you pull Focus off it mid-conflict. There are so many little things that will completely bone you if you're not aware of the subtle interactions…
…like using Force Choke on your own character to get Vader's direct damage to take out the last point of health on Home One

Stagetec Nexus at the NBA Finals, Part 2
Oct 11, 2011 12:59 PM, With Bennett Liles
Editor's note: For your convenience, this transcription of the podcast includes timestamps. If you are listening to the podcast and reading its accompanying transcription, you can use the timestamps to jump to any part of the audio podcast by simply dragging the slider on the podcast to the time indicated in the transcription.
This year's NBA Finals were watched by millions and the task of getting the signals from their sources in the Dallas American Airlines Arena to the ESPN broadcast was on the shoulders of Stagetec and its Nexus network. Stagetec President Russell Waite is back to wrap up his chat about how the Nexus network carried the show. That's coming up next on the SVC Podcast.
Rusty, thanks for being back with me on the SVC Podcast for part two on the Nexus network that was set up for the NBA Finals in the American Airlines Arena in Dallas. A lot of remote trucks, a lot of feeds going on, and we were talking about how the Nexus network did all of this. So when you got out there, what was the time frame on getting all of this up and working?
First of all, thanks. It's great to be a part of this and I hope we can get into a little more in-depth questions in Part 2. I hope everybody's sticking around. It's interesting the question that you're asking. As with any network the better you plan in advance the better it's going to come out in the end, but it is a modular system so even at the last minute we can add some cards in there if you really need to and just make it work. But the time frame I guess for the NBA...I mean, CP Communications, I guess they really started a couple months beforehand—configuring what is it that we're going to need, how many places, where, what are we looking at in terms of the arena, where do we have to lay down these pieces. It's not the first time that they've done these types of events. What we really did and what was really the big part of it this year was we were moving the NBA Finals from copper for the audio to fiber and I said, it was really for the A1's a bit of a task to re-think how they were setting everything up, understanding how Nexus was/is working. For a lot of them it was the first time that they've ever seen it—heard about it—but I have to say it was a great reception all around from them and I have to say in terms of planning you can never plan enough before the events. Setup wise, it's relatively smooth. We work with you during the planning stages and we set up all those base devices and I'll draw them up—my team will draw them up—and we'll lay them out across how you think it's going to look for the whole venue and we'll run it that way and just making sure that all the signals that we need are checked off and everybody's getting what they need, and so we set it up. It depends on the event—events like the Olympics, they start very early. We're a year away but we're already starting to plan how the Nexus boxes are going to be set up across the venues so physically we're not going to be delivering anything until June-July. But obviously on paper...you can never start too early I guess is what I am trying to say right now. [Timestamp: 3:27]
Yeah, and with a very high-profile event like this with lots going on, you're sort of at ground zero. There's got to be a lot of communication between the people who are taking those feeds and making sure that they have what they need and if there are any problems that come up, that they're fixed very fast. So what was it like being in the middle of all that?
Well it's interesting...there was a lot of habits that have been developed over the years, which I think is great. Obviously faxing of the systems, everybody needs to know that they're getting the sources where it's coming from and pushing through...you want to send tone through everything, you want to make sure that the signal's actually there and you find mistakes, right but the great thing about the Nexus is once she's there and up and running and everybody's happy it's constantly actually going over and seeing that it's running diagnostics in the background and making sure that everything's there. It's pinging the different nodes, or what we call base devices, making sure the communication's OK and then we'll alert anyone that's actually on the network whether there is a problem. They'll be a pop up and basically say, "Hey, we're getting close to heating." It's interesting when we talk about the NBA Finals because Dallas, they're still going through a heat swell over there but we were hitting temperatures of 105 degrees and then the base devices were sitting out in the sunlight, right in the sunshine basically and they were getting quite hot but they're built to military specs so they can handle all this. [Timestamp: 5]
And of course you have to have power and a lot of things can happen power-wise especially in a temporary setup. How did you have that set up for reliability, is there an optional failover on the Nexus system?
Well, on every one of the base devices nodes we have dual power supplies—automatically switch over with no loss of audio so there's no click whatsoever. And then it's the same on the Star so actually for the NBA Final's we had a Star system so we home-runned a lot of the base devices to the Star. So they had a direct fiber connection with the main Star unit. Every piece of the system has dual power supplies because you never know, as you say, what can happen, but CP actually had every unit installed nicely into a case and they had a UPS system on every case and so even if there was any interruption in power supply, they had enough time because the power draw of a base device is so minimal. It's less than a couple hundred watts so it's nothing really off of a UPS system. So they could have just ticking and ticking but luckily, knock on wood, there wasn't any problems to do with power and everything went off real well. [Timestamp: 6:24]

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Shiloh!
Facts about Shiloh
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Great Pyrenees Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Shiloh's Info...
Why Choose me?
Shiloh arrived just as we were leaving so we weren't able to spend much time with her, but she was a pleasure to be around, even for a few minutes. An Athens resident found Shiloh and another dog wandering around but couldn't find their home, so here they are. Shiloh's companion was too nervous for pictures or for interacting with new people, so the Animal Control staff is letting him (or her?) rest in a kennel until he or she is ready to be social. Shiloh isn't having a problem adjusting, although she seems a bit quiet and shell shocked. She enjoyed being with us and getting some pets, and as she gets more comfortable she'll get more animated. She couldn't be fluffier or prettier!
Act quickly to adopt Shiloh. Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at Athens Clarke County Animal Control
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Shiloh, a Athens Labrador Retriever/Great Pyrenees dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Great Pyrenees for sale in Athens, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Great Pyrenees dog from a breeder in Athens.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Athens already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Athens breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Great Pyrenees breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Great Pyrenees rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Athens paves the way for another one to be saved.

Up Close and Personal with Dr. Yaduraj- Part 2
Sun, 2012-10-21 15:38 | by Nikki
This is part 2 of the interview with Dr. Yaduraj. 5.) Tell us about a typical day for you. Typically, my day starts at 6.30 am when our elephants are out on their morning walk. Observing them during this walk gives me a good idea about their normal body functioning and behaviour. The rest of the morning involves overseeing, cleaning and disinfecting the elephant sheds. This is followed by a close inspection of all the elephants after they return home from their walk. Since the elephant and the bear rescue centres are very close to each other, I then head over to the bear centre. During this time, the mahouts bathe the elephants as I have instructed them to do. |

By Jeff Walsh, Oasis Founder
Thomas Jean is a man with a mission, or was one anyway. Until recently, the 17-year-old Killeen, Texas resident was involved in just a few gay community and student groups.
He was a member and served in various positions in these different groups: The Gay Lesbian Alliance of Central Texas, P-FLAG Waco, P-FLAG Austin, Out Youth Austin, Houston Area Teen Coalition of Homosexuals, The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Young Adults of Dallas, the Teen Project of Forth Worth, Respect All Youth of Dallas, and the Killeen High School Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Student Union.
When Jean, who wrote for Oasis when it first launched, spoke with Oasis for this interview, it was less than a week after he decided to stop affiliating with all these groups.
"Up until Saturday my life was gaygaygaygaygay," he says. "I was never home. The only time I was home was between midnight and eight in the morning, and I would mainly be on IRC at that time. I was either at meetings, or traveling the state of Texas giving speeches.
"My goal now is to try and put Tommy first instead of putting the gay community first and trying to help myself instead of trying to help others," he says. "There's just so many lives I've touched by being open and being active and on the Internet. I never really took time for myself, and I want to do that now."
Jean is starting college in the fall, and plans to major in business administration.
Jean's jump into the gay community was rapid. It began when he ended a three-month stay in the hospital for 27 consecutive suicide attempts.
"After my last suicide attempt, I realized there must be a reason that God kept me alive all this time," he says. "It clicked to me that the reason was to be a gay activist in Killeen, because there are not any. So, I got out of the hospital, came out to my parents in my freshman year and became a gay activist."
His motivation was simple.
"Just knowing that there's gay youth here in Killeen going through what I went through is what prompted me to do more for the community and then I found Out Youth, and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance and P-FLAG and just started getting involved. And I had determination, ideas and drive, so they took me on board."
In this Texas military town, there was only one other gay activist. The gay community rallied around him, though.
"Everyone was like 'There's this gay youth in Killeen who's very active and gets things done,' so they were all for me in the gay community," he says.
Jean's coming out and activism have not all been positive. This past year, he had his first encounter with gay bashing.
"I moved to Dallas in May to try and find a better life and be able to be out in high school with more people, because I was the only one who was out [in Killeen]," he says. "I wasn't the only one at the school that was gay. And I got up there and I found out there's only one other gay person, so I dropped out of school up there."
Jean moved back home in October, started back up as a student at Killeen High School, where all his family members have previously graduated. He had to make one sophomore year class up, despite being a senior, because he had failed the class previously. It was in that class, that he was harassed.
"I was dealing with a lot of verbal harassment," he says. "I reported it and got the kid suspended."
Shortly thereafter, Jean was in his car with the window down and music on, waiting for his cousin before driving home from school.
"The kid that got suspended came up to my car, and I wasn't paying any attention," he says. "He came up and put his hand through my window, and hit me in the back of my head and said 'You fucking faggot, you got me suspended.'"
Jean pulled the car around to the campus police department, and the kid was expelled from school and is now in jail for a hate crime in the state of Texas. Unfortunately, Jean thought this would be the end to his trouble at school.
"The next day, I went back and the gang he was in, that I had no idea about, said, 'You better watch your ass, faggot, because we're going to kill you,'" he says. "I went home immediately after that, just left school, told my mom to check me out of school and two weeks later, I got my GED."
Jean was upset that he had to leave school, because he wanted to rise above statistics of gay youth high school dropouts.
"I didn't want to prove to be a failure, because the dropout rates of gay students and suicide rates of gay students are extremely high," he says. "I didn't want to be part of that percentage. And, I wound up being part of that percentage."
Jean's suicidal tendencies occurred in the eighth grade, when he had started coming out at school, but not to his family.
"I was dealing with a lot of verbal harassment and I couldn't tolerate that," he says. "I had just gotten back from a two-week trip to California to see my sister's daughter being born, so I was with my Grandma, and me and her got in a fight and I just got tired with it. I made a suicide note, took 50 Advil and went to sleep."
He was hospitalized after that attempt.
"While I was in the hospital, I tried committing suicide," he says. "After being in for like three weeks, I got out and tried again. Went back in, tried it in the hospital, went back in, tried hanging myself at school... the list goes on and on."
He finally came out to his parents in his freshman year, after giving them clues they didn't respond to. He has now been out to them for four years.
"They dealt with it OK. I dare say my father was a preacher before he became a doctor and before I was born," he says. "There was a lot of religious issues behind it, but now they're very accepting of it. They welcome my lover into my life like we were married."
It was his Christian upbringing, he says, that made him stop trying to kill himself.
"I'm not one to think that homosexuality is wrong according to the Bible," he says. "It was just something that clicked in my head that after 27 suicide attempts, God was keeping me here for a reason. And I've fulfilled my reason."
And he's spent a lot of time since then talking to other suicidal gay teens on phone help lines and on the Internet using the IRC handle TXTommyJ.
"It's honestly not the answer. And many people hear that and say, 'Oh, I'm tired of hearing that,'" he says. "But take it from someone who's actually been there. It's not the answer. It's a permanent solution to a simple problem. And people get so tired of hearing that, but honestly, you're killing yourself, taking yourself out of this world and missing everything that you could have experienced whether it was good or bad, because life is unfair.
"By taking your life, you didn't hurt the people who were hurting you, you hurt your family, your friends and you have no future now."
He also doesn't see why people should hate themselves so much for something over which they have no control.
"I didn't choose to live this lifestyle. I was born this way and I chose to be open with my lifestyle," he says. "Honestly, if God hated gays, he wouldn't have made so many of us. And nowhere in the Bible does it say God hated fags. The Bible is all a translation. I believe my God loves me no matter who I am."
Jean also goes against the common activist philosophy urging everybody to come out of the closet.
"Many are people are mad because I'm a gay activist and I don't urge people to come out," he says. "I don't want anybody coming out of the closet until they are ready to come out. It is a major emotional step in your life and you have to put up with a lot of shit."
Having gone through a lot in his youth, Jean is now looking toward his future, one that is looking quite bright.
"I'm content," he says. "I have a wonderful lover. I have a wonderful family that supports me and I have every basic need in my life fulfilled."

Accordingly, Lamb craft their music quirkily, freighting it with more nuance, musical and emotional, than most techno has. Yet given Lamb's aversion to that primal dance beat, it's ironic that Fear of Four's most satisfying moment comes when the song ''Fly'' suddenly shifts into a pounding, joyfully unsophisticated whomp of a breakbeat rhythm.

Can anyone tell me where I might find an instruction manual for the National 18 quart pressure cooker?
What was the ring attached to the side of this cooker for? What did the racks for this cooker look like? Thanks! Mary |
Follow-Up Postings:
National is now Presto and has been for many years so the Presto website will likely be your best bet. National models are the old ones and the site doesn't list them in parts or manuals any longer but many of the parts and the manuals are interchangable. gopresto.com Dave |

Haven't found what I'm looking for... yet. Thanks, guys! |
Mary - you won't find one for the National unless someone has an old one they can copy for you. Search using the word 'canner' not 'cooker' pulls them up. But here is the manual for the equivalent Presto model (link below). But we should also ask what you think you need the manual for? The recipes and canning instructions are mostly outdated in them anyway so if it is canning instructions you are looking for there are other better sources like NCHFP. If it is parts you need then the parts listed on this page with the manual should all fit. Hope this helps. Dave |

Could I bother you about something else? I was looking for a manual so I would know the proper terminology. I haven't used this cooker in years, it was my grandmother's, and there wasn't a manual with it. Anyway, the racks are totally different than anything I've seen in any of the manuals I've looked at. Do you have any idea if I should replace them or if I can use them? Wanted to thank you, too, for the great posts on converting the National - awesome! |
Hey, it's no bother. ;) As to the racks, I wouldn't worry about them as long as it is a metal plate of some kind with holes in it that will keep the jars from sitting directly on the bottom of the canner. That is about all any of the racks do in a PC - space the jars up off the bottom of the pot. Your bigger concern with a canner that old will be the accuracy of the gauge. They are supposed to be tested annually and one that old will either have to be tested or replaced or the canner converted to a weighted one with the 5-10-15 lb weight set. You may also need to invest in the new gasket set for it. As for terminology, you can find most any thing you'd need in the How To Use a Pressure Canner publication from NCHFP. Hope this helps.

It helped a lot! I'm going to be on the safe side and make the suggested conversions - I don't want to take any chances. Thanks again, Dave! Mary |
