WALLA WALLA -- Nearly 860 shots were given during the free drive-through adult flu/Tdap immunization clinic Oct. 13 at Providence St. Mary Medical Center, according to a news release.
The clinic was sponsored by the hospital, the Providence Medical Group and the Walla Walla County Health Department. Nurses gave 499 flu immunizations and 358 Tdap (diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough) vaccinations before running out of vaccine at around 1 p.m.
People were able to be vaccinated without leaving their cars, and no appointments were necessary. Cars lined up more than an hour before the clinic stated. Many people also walked to the clinic. All of the vaccine was used in just 4.5 hours -- that's 3.2 shots a minute.
The clinic was held to help replace the annual community Flu Shot Round-up, which was sponsored by the Health Department for many years until funding was lost.
Eighty-eight people volunteered to staff and run the clinic, including Providence staff, nursing students from Walla Walla Community College, local and regional Health Department staff, the Kiwanis Club and Waitsburg High School.
Flu season usually begins in October and can last through May. In recent seasons, most infections have occurred in January and February, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The CDC recommends annual immunizations for adults to protect them from the flu.
In addition to the flu, adults should consider receiving the Tdap immunization if they have not already received one.
Washington State current is in the middle of a whooping cough (pertussis) epidemic. While the disease is an unpleasant inconvenience for most adults, it can be very serious, even fatal, for babies and children. It also is dangerous for pregnant women.
It is important for adults to be vaccinated to prevent spreading the disease. Whooping cough spreads easily by coughing and sneezing. Vaccination is the best protection.

The Fed had no choice but to do things from mid September of 2008 that were utterly inconceivable until they were done. We've gotten used to it now, but, after massive and unprecedented intervention, why would anything behave normally? We're way beyond the map, and we're bound to run up on hidden rocks and shoals while we're out here. Caution is not unreasonable. And even when we get back, we may find that some things have changed forever.
It's easy for the rest of us to nitpick and complain, but I sure as hell wouldn't want Bernanke's job. He did more, more quickly, than anyone else to prevent an utter catastrophe after Paulson's Panic; he can be forgiven some errors of judgment and execution.

They are commended to all who raise such trees. It is said to te much better to grow fruit trees with their heads and branches near the ground, than to have them branch- ing over head, for various reasons. 1st The sun, which is, perhaps, in our hot and dry Summers, the cnitse of more diseases and destruction to fruit trees than all other diseases together, is kept from almost literally scalding the as it does in long, naked trunks and limbs. The limbs and leaves of a tree should always effectually shade the trunk and keep it cool. The leaves only should have plen- ty of sun and light; they can bear and profit hy it. If trees were suffered to branch out low, say one or two feet from the ground, we should hear much less of the 'fire -frozen sap black spots, and the Kite. 2d.

Enriching tho land is Jargly paid for by the heavy crops of potatoes, carrots, and rutabagas which grow be- tween the rows when the trees arc small and by the equally heavy and more val- uable loads ofiipc fmitproltisely yielded afterwards. The expense of ploughing once a year, and harrowing fourtimcs, is perhaps not half the first cost of the orch- ard, to say nothing of the crops afforded; while it soon renders it quadruple the value of the neglected plantntion.

udev question
Aug 09 21:34:42 localhost udev[10536]: configured rule in '/etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules' at line 4 applied, 'sdd' becomes '%k'
Aug 09 21:34:42 localhost udev[10536]: creating device node '/dev/sdd'
but if I remove on of the drives from the system. ti will read the rules file only up to where the non present drive is then switch to the defaults which removes the satic mapps and breaks the raid.

The Buckler Brief
Posted By Elliott On December 20, 2006 @ 1:18 pm In Diet,Health,Nutrition,Supplements,Women's Health | Comments Disabled
EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT: Choline
Choline is a B vitamin. It is essential to the body's functions and it is found in every cell. Choline can be produced in the body, but not in adequate amounts. Choline works in concert with other vitamins, particularly Folic Acid and B12.
WHAT IT DOES: Choline assists in brain function, liver function, and cardiovascular function. This supplement is a precursor to acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter.
Choline also plays a role in lipid metabolism and storage in the body. Choline is particularly vital for the regulation of fat in the liver, possibly playing a role in triglyceride regulation and fat storage.
STUDIES SHOW: Pregnant women who take choline can help the brain development of the fetus. Choline supplements have been proven to increase blood choline levels. And high-performance athletes have benefited from choline supplementation because it can help boost endurance.
WHY WE LIKE IT: Choline was determined to be an essential vitamin by the U.S. government in 1998, but many people are unaware of its importance to good health. Choline may assist in memory, brain development and function, cardiovascular health, fat metabolism, liver health and energy levels. As an essential component of the B-vitamin family, choline can help to support your optimal health.

I started seeing these pop up on ebay a few months ago:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brushless-DC...item51a784c20f They look heavier duty than the "Sous Vide" FDA pumps that a lot of chinese sellers have been advertising for a while. Anyone have any input?
food safe?
The speed controller is a rather interesting concept. Subscribed if anyone tries one out.
I just asked the seller if they are food grade and if they can handle temps in the 212degree f range. Will tell the outcome
They look like the pumps from here:http://greatbreweh.com/
"Max operating temperature up to 100°C/212F with external circuit board" Odd that it mentions the external circuit board, that leaves it unclear if that means the pump is good to 100ºC or if the board/controls are good to 100ºC. 6.5m of head is not insignificant and it is nice that the units come with their own power supply. Wonder how easy it would be to hack into and extend the wires to a control panel?
Will ride for beer!
The fact that they are completely sealed is nice...no neeed for a splash shield. They do indeed look like the gtreatbreweh pumps but without the stainless npt threads...the control board is likely just 120 to 12 v converter with the potentiometer, and should be easy to hack. I'm interested if they hold up to their claims. Might male for a nice new HLT pump that mounts directly to the bottom drain valve.
It's not clear to me that variable speed control is particularly useful in a mag drive pump that should work fine when regulating the output flow with a valve. I certainly would not pay a premium for it.

5 Curve The BulletPosted: 24/10/2008Unlike most movies that are advertised as having non-stop action, this one tell's the truth, from the opening assasination and shoot-out/ car chase to the final effects filled killing, this movie lets up. So forget about an oscar winning story and enjoy this over the top action packed thriller.
5 AMAZINGPosted: 12/08/2008This is one of the best british series that has been on for a very long time. This reimagining of the classic Jekyll and Hyde story is a gripping story and one of the best changes is how physically , Jackman changes very little. James Nesbitt is fantastic as both Jackman and Hyde and Michelle Ryan finally looks like a proper actress, plus Gina Bellman is also amazing in this. Once you have seen this everything else on tv will seem inferior.
5 FantasicPosted: 01/08/2008This movie is fantastic, this is how movies should be made, this actually feels like this could be happening, most sequels usually go downhill but the Bourne trilogy just keeps going from strength to strength. With blistering action and moving along at break-neck speed this is a must see for everyone.
5 Say Hello To HellboyPosted: 01/08/2008When i first heard about this movie i wasn't to bothered about it, part of this was due to not knowing of the comic books, but after i watched this i was hooked. So disengage your brain and enjoy an action packed movie.
5 I Wanna Play A GamePosted: 01/08/2008To begin with, this movie is rare, a thriller that disguises itself as a horror. This film unlike it's sequals doesn't rely on blood-shed and rather a plot around why these two men are trapped in a bathroom together. A Definate watch.
5 FANTASTIC!!!!Posted: 16/10/2007This show is absolutly fantastic, my dad first introduced it to me and now i am hooked, not only is the kung fu incredable but the storyline's are also amazing. Looking at the date that it first aired many people including me will wonder whether the show would look to dated or not. It definatly does not. So if you like action and drama you've got to watch this.
Apollo 13: Special Edition (2 Discs) (5.1/DTS) DVD 2 New from £10.41 Free delivery Available used from £4.99
5 FantasticPosted: 20/08/2007This movie is absolutley fantastic, this film is proof that Tom Hanks is an amazing actor. The story is really strong and everyone of the actors makes the story really come alive. This is also the first movie to make use of NASA's "vomit comet" to film the movies zero-gravety scenes. A must have for any Tom Hanks fan.

Sleeps | 4 |
Bedrooms | 2 |
Bathrooms | 2 |
Property type | house |
Minimum Stay | 2 nights |
From the entrance of this lovely, beachfront home you'll marvel at the stunning views of Bodega Harbor, and the vast Pacific beyond. The Birdwatch sits perched above the water - a vantage point from which you'll enjoy the spectacle of hundreds of shore birds feeding happily along the tide line below. From your private outdoor spa you'll be lulled by the distant roar of ocean waves as they crashd onto the giant rocks off Bodega Head. The house is newly constructed of marble, granite, wood and glass, and comes equipped with wi-fi, propane fireplaces, and spectacular vistas beckoning from both richly-appointed bedrooms, a living room made to live in, and the marquee attraction - an incredible gourmet kitchen that'll make your time spent hanging around the house seem well-spent. Lounge on the deck if you like, or take the stairs down to the beach and breathe deep that bracing ocean air. We guarantee you will have an unforgettable Northern California adventure at the Birdwatch.
Activities: The Bodega Bay Surf Shack rents bikes, kayaks, surfboards, wetsuits and windsurfers. Cruise on a bike along the beach or out to Bodega Head. Surfing lessons with experienced instructors are available, and Bodega Bay Pro Dive has a full service dive center, including air fills, scuba lessons and equipment sales. We highly recommend Bodega Bay Kayak Tours. There are tours of Salmon Creek, Willow Creek and the Russian River. Kayak guide Bob Miller has been sharing his love of the coast for over 20 years. He even has a Wine Country Kayak Tour that includes a picnic lunch with great views of the Bodega Bay coastline, complemented by a good bottle of Sonoma County wine. There are tours of Bodega Bay by sailboat, with sights of sea lions and, if you're lucky, whales, depending on the time of year. Modern fiberglass vessels can take you sport fishing from Porto Bodega Marina. There are miles and miles of stunning beaches - secluded and empty - for long beach walks, or whatever you like.
Places For Food & Drink: Should you choose to leave your awesome Birdwatch kitchen and venture out ... just across the road you'll find Ruby's Porthole for morning lattes, or a classic burger at the Hot Dog House, or fine cuisine just down the street at Lucas Wharf Restaurant. Roam a little further and find world class wine tasting at the nearby Gourmet Au Bay wine tasting room, or just take a scenic drive through the countryside where you'll find many world renowned wineries. They're all fun to visit. Other great places to eat locally are The Duck Club (five star rating), The Boat House, Underwood, Howard's Station, Tony's Seafood Restaurant, The Union Hotel, and Gold Coast Coffee & Bakery. Other day trips should include stops at Wild Flour Bakery and Willow Wood Cafe. High end dining can be found at John Ash & Co. and Zin Restaurant & Wine Bar, to name a couple. We have an extensive guide to local eateries in our self-published guide book that resides comfortably at The Birdwatch. (It even has maps.)
Parks & Other Places: Sonoma County Regional Parks recently constructed a bird walk trail. The trail begins at the front door of Birdwatch and passes through a revitalized salt water marsh, which is home to thousands of migratory and native birds throughout the year. A bridge connects Doran and Bird Walk Coastal Parks so that you can walk along Canadian Geese nesting sites, and over an estuary filled with Leopard Sharks and Bat Rays, to reach crashing ocean waves along a sandy beach that stretches four miles. (The paved trail is moderately accessible for the disabled.) If you're looking for a garden to meditate in, combined with specialty massages, or maybe an enzyme bath, then try Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary. Bodega Bay Marine Laboratory located on Bodega Head gives weekly tours to the public, and Chancellor Stables has guided horseback riding on the beach. To learn how a community can become ecologically, economically and culturally sustainable in today's world, visit The Occidental Arts and Ecology Center
Birdwatch house took us 10 years of searching to find. We have an excellent real estate agent, who knew that the moment he saw the house it was perfect for our family. There were 12 offers in competition and ours was chosen! We would spend every free moment at Bodega Bay while our two children were growing up. It is a place where a family can spend quality time together making the most wonderful memories. For that reason, there is no value that can be placed on the property. We will never sell it and hope to give it to our children to enjoy forever. Because it is such a tranquil sanctuary and a place of the most incredible views we decided to rebuild the house entirely with the finest finishes. Natural wood, glass and stone make up the house. From our front door we can walk for miles, often without seeing a soul, along a nature preserve, over creeks and along the open sandy sea with waves crashing. We love to surf, windsurf, kitesurf, stand up surf, kayak and sail as a family. We are fortunate that our home provides all those wonderful activities for us.
Annie McNeil purchased this house in 2002
After living in this area for many years, it's no wonder that we chose to invest in a place that is so special to us in so many ways. We know every little cove/point/headland of that coast. We know all the wineries and restaurants and parks. Without that kind of background, we would never attempt this.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com DiCroce touts outsider status in county attorney bid
Friday, June 20, 2014
DOVER — After seven months of turmoil and scandal, the Rockingham County Attorney's Office is in desperate need of outside leadership, according to county attorney candidate Michael DiCroce.
State investigators also are trying to determine how the husband of Patricia Conway, who also is running for county attorney, was removed from a county list of police officers with potential credibility issues.
After leaving the county attorney's office, DiCroce established a private firm specializing in local prosecution. He now prosecutes district-level criminal cases for seven towns, including Newmarket, Greenland and Northwood.
DiCroce is one of four Republicans and one Democrat vying to replace Reams, a Hampton Republican who took office in 1999. The other candidates include Conway, Salem police prosecutor Jason Grosky and assistant Hillsborough County prosecutor Michael Zaino, who also worked under Reams in Rockingham County. The primary is Sept. 9. |

Sunday morning update -
Well what had been planned as a relaxing, down day yesterday turned out to be the exact opposite. We had planned on taking the bus over to MK and then do a monorail tour of the MK resorts and look at Christmas decorations and then last night we were just going to DTD and walk around a little. Well we did take the bus over to MK but that is where the relaxing stopped. We went into MK and spent all morning there, starting with walking around New Fantasyland (which was mobbed). Stayed in MK until after lunch (Pecos Bills). We then took boat over to Wilderness Lodge and looked at decorations there. I love the lobby there and the Christmas tree was beautiful. Then took boat back to Contemporary and saw all the decorations at all three MK resorts. We then went back to Kidani and rested a little and went back to MK because they had extended closing time to 12:00AM and we wanted to see Wishes. MK was absolutely mobbed with people. We've been to WDW many, many times and I don't know that I've ever seen MK so crowded including Christmas Day. Getting back to Kidani at 11:00 was a real problem as the bus area was really full. Finally they brought in two buses at the same time to take people. So much for our restful day . One more thing - yesterday I saw the largest BTG, I've ever seen. Now I usually try to be tolerant to the BTG's. I know they are just kids having a good time and their culture is different from mine, but this group had probably 150-200 kids in it and at one point they actually took over Main St. USA and marched down it like in a parade doing their chants and their leaders were leading the chants. Totally ruined the Main St. atmosphere. It was so loud, you couldn't hear any of the background music at all. Plan for today is to head over to AK and do a safari. Not sure what we will do the rest of the day. Here is yesterday's pictures

Yesterday was the first Saturday after the official opening of the New Fantasyland, which is probably why it was so mobbed. The new Test Track at Epcot was a disaster, too, according to twitter. I imagine today will be similar, as locals and those who booked to come to the grand openings are still lingering around.
We arrive tomorrow and am concerned about these crowds, but I will just go with it. We have 4 days of FP+, so no need for us to run to TSM or Little Mermaid. We will just have to go with it, and realize we will return in 2 more months. I'm surprised that people like Kidani. We HATED it. The rooms were nice, and we ended up with the edge of savannah view on std view points. The corridors were LOUD and it seemed like every person using an ECV was staying there and parking their scooters in the hallway to charge. The loudness was the worst. I have never experience that much noise at ANY hotel, Disney or not. Even at an All-Star or Pop pool view when it was warm outside. I did not like not having a QS option at the resort. While the little gift shop was nice but extremely small and in the lobby for refillable mugs, that was about it (oh, and it had pomegranate lemonade). We like having a slow morning one morning and eating a calm, not rushed, breakfast at the resort. We couldn't do this at Kidani. Yes, we could have taken the little van over to Jambo, but that was too much of a hassle. We will only stay at Kidani again if we have to. I will always stay at Jambo House and we have NEVER had an issue there.. plus, they tend to be less points. Not to mention that my mom left her sweater in the closet upon check out and we returned to the resort to catch our DME bus and we never saw that sweater again. We filled out a lost item form and everything. We knew EXACTLY where it was, it wasn't like we dropped it somewhere. I'm pretty sure someone who works for AKL is wearing it right now. I'm glad you are enjoying your stay at Kidani. I hope people don't have the experience we had there ever. I'm looking forward to my BLT stay tomorrow!

DisneyDudet - I agree about the long hallways. That is why we always request close to lobby. Really haven't had a noise problem or ECV's in the hallway. Also agree about the lobby. Walk to Jambo for Mara doesn't bother us. The only real problem we've had this trip have been the buses. They have been slow and very crowded.

Sunday afternoon update -
Went to AK again this morning and had a good Safari. I really like how they have changed the story on the Safari's and have gotten rid of the poacher story line. Plus I like the area at the end where the Zebras appear. We saw a lot of animals. At one time I bet there were 6 or 7 Giraffes in one area. After the Safari, DW went to the bird show while I did a single rider Expedition Everest ride. I then took some pictures and ended up getting a nice cold beer and just sat and people watched while DW finished her show . For lunch we went to Flame Tree BBQ and shared the half rack of ribs and got an order of onion rings. This is a tradition we do every trip and really enjoyed the ribs and rings. We then left AK and headed to Epcot where we did Living Seas and Ellen. I debated doing a pub crawl around WS taking pictures, but instead since I'm always in trip planning mode, we decided to take a bus to Port Orleans Riverside. I am going to be running short on points next year because of us giving DD points for her honeymoon at AK-Kidani. I have just enough points (other than our annual visit to HHI) for six nights at OKW, so I am planning on adding on three nights at POR. This will be next October for F&W and MNSSHP (my two favorite events in the Disney year). DW already has her costume, a drindl (German dress) that my SIL got for her. DB and SIL have been living in Nuremburg, Germany for the last two and a half years and my wife loves the costumes. So what better to wear to MNSSHP. It has been a long time since we've stayed at a moderate and am kind of looking forward to it for a change. Plan for tonight is to stay home. Eventually we'll walk over to Jambo for dinner at Mara and then maybe hangout at the fire pit some. But want to be back here to see the ending of Amazing Race. I'm going to wait until tomorrow to post today's pictures as I didn't take many today.

We just got back from Kidani 12/1-12/9. The weather last week was fabulous! We were in the last bead of the necklace, closest to Jambo, and that was a long walk! We used the Zazu elevator a lot and just walked to the bus stop from there. We did not find the crowds to be too bad. They seemed to be worse in 12/2010 when we were there last. We tried to follow easywdw.com touring recommendations for most of the week this time, which worked out really well. We actually rode the new TT 3 times on Tues, 3 times on Thurs and twice on Sat. Despite being at the end of the necklace, we really enjoyed Kidani. The pool area is great. We can't wait to return in July!!
I love how you have posted your pictures using iCloud. How do you do that? Feel free to PM me. Enjoy your last few hours at Kidani!!

We checked out of Kidani yesterday after 8 nights in a standard studio. We were traveling with both sets of our parents and were lucky enough to get three studios right near each other. We were on the fifth floor (which I guess is technically only the 3rd floor?) and we're right off the lobby elevator thankfully! Those hallways were very long! We had a wonderful stay. No issues with our studio at all, a few minor things (broken coffee pot, malfunctioning exhaust fans) were corrected promptly in our parents rooms. Had full room cleaning and trash and towel services right on schedule.
Crowds were heavier than I expected but manageable. The weather could not have been more perfect. We barely touched the long pants and jackets we packed. There was one tour group that stood out to us too, probably the same one OP saw. I think it was a soccer team maybe? Anyway we ran into them in several parks and wherever they went they took over the place. Had to be over 100 young teens. At one point it took my DH 20 minutes just to get a little mermaid Fastpass because the tour leader happened to get in line and got passes for that whole crowd! Then of course we got not line behind them at the ride and the Fastpass line stretched out past the entrance. I would not hesitate to stay at Kidani again. Our parents loved it as well. We stayed at BWV last night at the end of our trip and while I love the proximity to Epcot and the general vibe of the place the rooms were a letdown after Kidani!

So the set up is best there....it is just going to be hard not to be at BWV this time. But we haven't stayed at Kidani so I am hoping we find we love it there too. Glad to hear so many positive things about it. |

Tuesday morning update -
Last full day at WDW. Sad, but I am already planning next years trip (looking forward to staying at OKW and F&W). Yesterday we hit MK early for our Character Breakfast at Crystal Palace. Breakfast was just okay and the characters were very slow coming around. It took a very long time to get an omelet. Will probably not do it again. IMO the breakfast at Cape May is much better. We then spent the rest of the morning just walking around MK. Rode Peter Pan, Pirates, Jungle Cruise, saw Hall of Presidents and rode the steamboat. Then came back to Kidani and sat out and watched animals for a while. I then walked over to Jambo and took some pictures. Okay Kidani lovers, I have to say I really do prefer Jambo over Kidani. The ambience in the lobby is just better and I like the close access to Mara. I know Kidani has a lot of pluses, but we've given it a try several times now and I think from now on I'll be getting my ressies at Jambo. Both are great resorts, don't get me wrong, but overall I just like Jambo better. In the evening we headed back to Epcot. Walked around WS some and had dinner at Japan (the CS part). Had some very good sushi. We then went to the Candlelight Processional. Show was just starting and it wasn't full, so DW and I sat and listened to it some but it started raining, so we headed to bus. Didn't get too wet. Plan for the day is - Epcot during the day and MVMCP tonight. Unfortunately it looks like rain this evening again and strong winds. Yuck. Hope we haven't wasted our money on the party. Kidanifan - You asked about how I do my pictures. I am using the Apple iCloud service (comes free to every Apple user). I am publishing the pictures as a Shared Photostream (allowing public access) on my Mac using iPhoto. You can also publish Shared Photostreams on your iPhone and iPad within the Photos app. Just make sure you allow public access for it to give you a URL to share. Yesterday's Pictures

Wednesday update -
Well folks we've come to the end of another great WDW trip and stay at AKV-Kidani. Will head north shortly and are spending the night at HHI before heading home tomorrow. But going back to yesterday. We tried to get the most out of our last full day. Headed to Epcot first and got a FP for Soarin and then started going around WS taking pictures, going into shops, etc. Rode Maelstorm again and watched the Canada movie. Then it was time for our Soarin FP. Got a great location - top row, center. Yea!! We then headed back over to see American Adventure followed by one last stop at Mouse Gears for souvenirs. Last night was MVMCP. Had a great time. Great parade, fireworks and show. Well that's about it. Whenever DW gets up, we'll start packing and loading the car. Hope to be at HHI by 3:00. Not sure where we will eat tonight. I wants some "regular" food, if you know what I mean. Might try that new BBQ restaurant someone mentioned or maybe Hudson's. I will post the last batch of pictures tomorrow when we get back home. Hope you have enjoyed my TR. PS - One last mention about Jambo vs. Kidani. Sitting in Kidani lobby right now typing this and it's like Grand Central Station here. I just don't remember it being this noisy and congested over at Jambo. So if the lobby is important to you (and it is to me because we always stay in studios and I see the lobby as an extension of our room) stay at Jambo.

A note on crowds. IMO they have been very, very heavy most everywhere we've been. I know this is subjective and depends on where you are and when, but I don't remember the crowds being this heavy this time of year (and we've been here many times this time of year). I guess it's the opening of New Fantasyland. Plus lots of cheerleaders and BTG's. We were at OKW from 12/1 -12/5, and I didn't think the crowds were bad at all (and we've gone several times that time of year as well). What a difference a few days can make. Have a safe trip, and enjoy your stay on HHI!

Final thoughts -
Well we got back home last Thursday. Wednesday night we stayed in a 1BR at HHI. DW washed all our clothes and we had a nice dinner at San Miguel's. It was nice coming home with all clean clothes. We may make this our new tradition after our WDW trips. I am having major WDW withdrawal. I keep playing this game of what were we doing a week ago, etc. DW and I agree this was probably our best WDW trip to date, except for perhaps our Christmas trip when we took both DS and DD a couple of years ago. The crowds were larger than we were expecting but not enough to make it unpleasant. We just went with the flow and never really had to wait too long to do a ride. I keep telling people who are not familiar with WDW that Disney does Christmas right. The parks and resorts were as beautiful as ever. And the two Candlelight Processionals we saw really put us both in the Christmas mood. So now we're back home and into the daily grind but am already planning our trip for next October. I only have enough points to stay at OKW for 6 nights (and that is with buying 3 one time use points). But we plan to augment OKW with three nights at Port Orleans Riverside on the front end. If you want to see all of the pictures that I took during our trip (and I took about 800), click on the photo link in my signature. The pictures are in the first two folders (one for my regular camera and one for my iPhone). I will be deleting the pictures collections previously posted in this TR as they are meant to serve as temporary collections only. Hope everyone enjoyed my TR.

We are wanting to do the same? Have you found out which camera is best to enable this process? Just starting the research myself.

After 4 years from the first post, I think the OP found it out, sir...
Anyway, I'm also looking for such a feature, I mean reading the EXIF lat/long coordinates, to put the photos in the right place inside a DWG.
If you were to consider third party software, MapWorks Base will let you select multiple images containing EXIF informatiion and it places camera blocks in the projected coordinate system (image coordinates are lat/long). If the camera contained a compass the camera block will be rotated in that direction. A hyperlink is added so you can quickly open the image from the drawing and other photo properties can populate attributes.

Finally: my first gig with GNU Linux!
It took place 2 weeks ago, and I'd like to share my experience with you.It was basically a "reading" with live music where I played an
electronic percussion (Drum Kat) and a Dan-Bao (a Vietnamese mono-string
I used LinuxSampler for the drums samples, and Pure Data to change the
drum-set presets, manage the scenes (show info, metronome, monitoring,
notes) and to apply a reverb to the Dan-Bao.To be able to achieved this, I must thanks all the devs of Pure Data and
LinuxSampler (many thanks to Grigor Iliev), and obviously this list for
the tips and ideas.A little note about LinuxSamples possibilities: I played 8 drum sets
(all loaded in the lscp), with a total of 92 channels (every drum
instrument has his own fx send), and 4 instances of ladspa Calf
Reverb... not bad, don't? :-)--

About bandito_malo's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
WhenI was in high school, everybody wanted a 55 Chevy or 55 Merc,but only the rich kids had them,the rest of us drove flathead fords and old Chevys,and an occasional 50 Olds.Some of the real motor heads built 32s,but to do that you had to have access to alot of tools and a garage,so there were very few of them..It amazes me to see the cars that people are making hot rods out of these days,back in the day, most of us would'nt be caught dead in,(like my 46 Plym).back then you got an old Ford,lowered it in the front(by heating the springs),putting fake white walls on it and painting the rims red. I would be remiss to forget the primer,your car had to be primered or you were'nt **** ! So don't be fooled when you see some yo yo come cruising in in their 35 chevy telling everybody what a cool rod it was in the 50s,the junk yards were full of crap like that ! I used to think I was cool when I could borrow my folks 54 Ford 6 cylinder business coupe,(no radio),and go cruise Eat N Run.
I along with many others used to go down town in Sacramento on Saturday nite and cruise K st. and hang out at Mels and have your radio tuned to KFI listening to "Wolfman Jack",but most of us were driving Dad's car.
They were good times,usually sometime during the evening there would be a mass exodus of cars heading out to the country to watch some drags,then the cops would come and run us all home !
Today is better though,because now it is pretty easy to buy or build the car of your dreams,thanks to old farts and generak motors,and thank god you can still go down town and cruise with all your fellow motor heads !
My first car
was a 46 Plymouth 4 door fastback that had a rod knocking in it,I drove it to school for a whole year like that before it finally passed away,then I got a cool 39 Chevy
Car I wish I still had
Any of about 6 58 Impalas I have had !

X and Y, among other things...
, 8th January 2013 at 02:46 PM (199 Views)
So, Pokemon X and Y are looking good so far. I'm definitely liking the Fire starter and the October release. :D
Also, I got a new guitar. It's an Ibanez Geo with a Floyd Rose tremolo system. However I have to take it to my local guitar shop as it won't stay in tune. >:|
Last week I got back from a trip to Jefferson City, Mo. It was the longest most drawn out trip I have ever been on. I'm glad to be home. Hahaha. Though, seeing my gf's family was pretty cool. I just wish they didn't live in such a boring area.

Looking back on healing in Cataclysm {WoW}
Feb 2nd 2012 12:04AM /agreed
The poorly balanced healing revamp plus the "race to be first" excitement of the new expansion put undergeared and overeager PUGs in Heroics before most players were ready. This led to wipes, namecalling, and, in my case, retirement from the game.
Until encounters can be scripted so that stupid/inattentive/uncaring DPS are singled out for their sins, the healer will always bear the blame for a negative boss fight outcome.
EverQuest Mac fans fight for survival; SOE responds {Massively}
Feb 1st 2012 10:10AM @Furdinand
"So the largest sub game is able to support a marginal Mac population? Surely that will translate into enough Mac players to justify the extra expense for smaller MMOs (ie every one not named WoW)."
Results from a 2009 WowInsider poll asking "what platform do you play WoW on?" (23,236 respondents)
Windows - 69.6%
Mac - 28.2%
Linux - 2.1%
28% isn't "marginal". Would a game with 1 million subscribers like another 280,000, all paying a one-time game cost and a monthly fee? Most MBAs would say "yes", provided that the additional upfront development costs could be covered. I understand why single-player games might not be able to recoup the costs, but MMOs are different; there's a persistent revenue stream coming in. Even if you can't break-even on the upfront costs, the monthly revenue from Mac players will eventually cover your costs and turn into a profit center. Unless the costs of developing for the Mac is *so* high that you can't ever break even, but I've never heard/read that from a game developer.
The numbers make a case for supporting the Mac. I believe the reluctance that we see from Bioware, etc., is the result of anti-Mac bias within the game industry and *not* a solid analysis of the numbers. They're thinking in terms of single-player games, not ongoing revenue streams.
"It also doesn't that Blizzard has always has Mac versions which seem like it is as much of a sales strategy as it is a PR strategy or maybe a personal preference that the Blizz higher ups have."
I like to believe that part of Blizzard's success is *because* they've supported the Mac all these years. It means more upfront sales at launch (which makes a bigger splash in the press), and you gain a very vocal minority talking about your game. Word-of-mouth is still huge.
Pulling this back around, though, I understand SoE's decision: their EQ-Mac server is costing them money that they're not going to recoup in an F2P environment.
EverQuest Mac fans fight for survival; SOE responds {Massively}
Jan 31st 2012 11:00PM @JohnD212
*Blizzard waves at you seductively from the corner*
Apple fanboi-ism and kneeJerk Apple bashing aside, it comes down to a simple business decision for the game company: if they make the additional marginal effort to develop a code base that can be ported, they'll get a healthy number of very loyal players. The savvy companies know this.
What puzzles me is why more companies don't just hire the CrossOver games folks to make an official port; they do solid work from the outside looking in, and they would be able to do a tighter job with "official" support. If it cost $ 1 million to get CrossOver to do a good port of your $50 game, you have to sell 20,000 to break even. That works out to selling 400 copies per US state, and if your game is *any* good, you'll clear that easily.
Officers' Quarters: The plight of 25-man raiding guilds {WoW}
Jan 31st 2012 2:36AM Along the lines of Velutina's constructive comments, anything Blizzard could do to reduce the overhead for guild officers would help, including:
1) Making the loot system smart (no useless or redundant drops) or switching to an all-currency loot system whereby everyone earns at the same rate. This would eliminate loot system maintenance/upkeep/drama.
2) NPC-led raid encounters, whereby an AI would organize, instruct, and "call" the boss fights.
3) A return to gated content to pace the players and help offset progress-based drama and membership churn. This is especially important during the first few months of a new expansion.
4) When reworking classes and roles, balance, balance again, and then balance a third time to get things right. Especially if Blizzard is reworking something like healing. Get it right the first time, folks.
The guild-induced stresses of managing a guild leveling up in the new expansion and the poorly-balanced healing model revamp caused me to walk away from being an active Officer in my 25-man guild and later leaving the game entirely.
WoW Insider reviews Christie Golden's Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects {WoW}
Jul 18th 2011 2:55PM I have to agree with the other replies: As published, Arthas was a great framework for a novel, but it needed to be fleshed out. The Shattering was better, although it, too, suffered from a bit too much "k, so this happened, then we ran here and this happened and then…."
There nothing wrong with a story being written on rails, but it needs to be crafted well enough that it doesn't *feel* like it's on rails. It's the difference between Tom Clancy's "The Hunt for Red October" (fantastic book with rereadability) and "Debt of Honor" (linear, plodding, and predictable).
Officers' Quarters: Wait-listing is the hardest part {WoW}
Apr 25th 2011 3:22PM I feel for Blizzard: The current lockout system makes juggling between 10-man and 25-man Normals and Heroics nearly impossible if you're trying to mix and match raids to gear-up reserves and new recruits, but if they turn the clock back to how it was in ToC/ToGC, the player base will grind itself into exhaustion chasing loot.
Blizzard should make lockouts work on a loot-per-boss basis: Once you've killed a boss, you are no longer eligible to receive BoP loot from that boss (Gold and BoEs could still be fair game), but you would still be able to do the fight under a separate Raid ID. This would allow guilds to gear up reserves and new recruits without guilds having to resort to semi-suboptimal (and frequently frustrating) Alt raids.
"Gear Chasers" and the "Me-Me-Me Crowd" won't be interested in doing fights that they can't get loot from, but the "Team-Oriented" and "Guild over Self" folks would pitch in to help gear up new folks, and experiencing the fights with the guild's "A-Team" will facilitate the learning process, making the raids that the new folks do get into go smoother.
Just a thought.
The Daily Grind: What do you think of random loot? {Massively}
Nov 10th 2010 3:04PM Maintaining the immersion of the experience, the weapon that you saw the mob using was destroyed during the fight. That's why you don't find it on the body, similar to why not every boar that you kill has an eye that you can loot.
In WoW, in Karazhan, the optional "Animal Bosses" had what I remember to be a semi-structured but random loot table. Collectively the three of them dropped only belts, bracers, or shoes, but the stats on those items were randomly generated. I remember that the stat budget for the items being generous for where they were in the raiding progression path, so you could walk away with some nice items *if* the stat mix *and* the armor type matched what a given class actually could use.
We quit doing the Animal bosses after three weeks, having looted "+Spirit +Agility Cloth boots", "+Strength + Int Plate Bracers" and a "+Spirit +Stam Leather Belt". Random can be fun, but random can also be. . .well. . .mostly useless.
Raid Rx: Raid bosses that brought healers to their knees - Part 1 {WoW}
Aug 17th 2009 3:24PM The OP is understating how truly randomly annoying the Leotheras fight was.
It's the only fight that I've actually recommended that other healers would do a better job than I would, and for someone that started hating boss fights with Magmadar, that *hurts* to admit.
1) Your Inner Demon looked exactly like and had the same name as everyone else's Inner Demon, and I believe that all were targetable but only yours could be attacked by *you*. So if you were in the same area as several other people who also had Inner Demons spawn, you wasted several precious seconds acquiring your target, at which point it was in melee range, hitting you for 800-1200 per swing.
2) Holy Priest shields absorbed one melee swing, maybe two at the most, so you were almost immediately getting spell pushback trying to cast. Pushback wasn't capped like it is now, so if you were foolish enough to try to "brute force" out a Mind Blast, you could see a 3.5 or 4.0 second pushback on it. You could Shield (if Weakened Soul wasn't up), which bought you time for one uninterrupted spell, you could Psychic Scream the Inner Demon out of melee range, or you could Shadownoob/Fade and let the 'noob tank it for a while.
3) The Psychic Scream had the tendency, for me at least, to cause the Inner Demon to run directly away from me for the entire duration of the fear, so, he'd end up *way* out of range of me, and he ran faster than the 'noob at that time, so unless I was near a wall or some of the other obstructions in that cavern and the Inner Demon got caught up in them, I'd lose DPS time on him. Often times he'd run out of range before I could get a Smite or Holy Fire off at all. My Inner Demons always seemed to run through the Warlock tanks area, which was a no-go area for following.
4) You had somewhere between 25 and 40 seconds to kill your Inner Demon, so you had to manage GCDs very closely. My first two kills I got a lucky string of three crits right as time was running out to get the kill.
Even after the increased susceptibility to Holy damage and the Healing-into-Spellpower merger went into effect, I had a losing record versus my Inner Demon (I went something like 4 for 9 against them out of 23+ Leo kills). I hated that fight with a passion.
Technical issues in Dalaran makes the PTR nearly unplayable {WoW}
Feb 25th 2009 1:34PM It's affecting Macs as well. It took me about 20 minutes to get across Dalaran and portal to IF for a respec, and then another 30 minutes or so to get the respeccing done. Crashes are frequent in the wilds of Northrend as well. In fact, I'm currently unable to log into the PTR after the client crashed while I was flying around Icecrown, but it's a "known problem that will be addressed in a future PTR update" according to a blue post. In short, the PTR seems like it's not quite ready for prime-time testing at this point.
Ready Check: Kil'jaeden (and friends), post-3.0.2 {WoW}
Oct 27th 2008 12:33PM Like datt67's guild, we've managed to continue our raiding schedule through the patch (we were working on the Twins when the patch hit), and while it is a little sad to see some of the fights nerfed back so hard, we're still accomplishing what we originally set out to do: Get screenshots of Dead Bosses.
When you define your own goals, it doesn't matter what measuring metric anyone else uses.
While I didn't *ask* for the nerf, I'm certainly enjoying it, because, for us, it's the difference between having the time to get *to* Kil'jaeden and having the time to *kill* Kil'jaeden. It was a rough summer of attrition for our guild, as we seemed to lose people to Real Life faster than we could gear-up replacements (losing seven raiding healers over a ten day span was especially hard to recover from), so we fell behind schedule in Sunwell. And even though we expanded our raiding schedule to five nights a week, we were going to be behind schedule for finishing up Sunwell barring the expansion being pushed back. Post-patch, I'm back to enjoying the game and not being stressed out about falling short because of circumstances beyond my control.
Above all, Blizzard is a business, and the nerf was a good business decision:
1) It's reinvigorated a good portion of the player base in the face of increasing market competition and pre-expansion player fatigue.
2) It's exposed a whole strata of the player base to "raiding", giving them the opportunity to see what it's all about and potentially turning "casuals" into "raiders".
3) It gets the maximum use out of already-produced properties.
Do I understand that our M'uru kill might not have cost me as much in consumables as someone who killed him pre-patch? Yes. Does that bother me? No. I still look good in the screenshot.

Firstly, as Cammo Girl points out - not everyone who carries concealed is a guy. My (petite) wife tried both a S&W snubbie and the LCP, and vastly preferred the LCP. If she carries one, it makes sense for me to carry one as well, so we can share mags and ammo.
I think it also matters what you view as "concealed." The pics earlier in this thread that show the snubbie grip at the top of the pocket is NOT concealed to me - anyone standing behind you can see what is in your pocket. Some of us have to venture into areas on a daily basis where discretion is called for - that ain't it.
Factor in business attire (suit pants, not dockers) and tucked-in professional looking dress shirts, and the bulk of the snubbie can be difficult to conceal. Not everyone dresses like a slob (as my mom would say) in jeans and untucked, oversized shirts.
The ballistics of the .38 are better than the .380, but the .380 is vastly easier to conceal due to size, weight, and flatness. It also carries more ammo, is easier to reload, and allows you to carry more spare ammo more easily. Trying to conceal a revolver speed loader is like trying to conceal a golf ball. And so-called "speed" strips are a misnomer if there ever was one.
Frankly, the terminal effectiveness of ALL handguns is very poor. You should be prepared for the necessity of needing to fire several shots in order to force a determined attacker to stop. That's why I prefer a high-cap 9mm to a low-cap .45, and why I prefer a 7-shot .380 (with a fast reload) to a 5-shot snubbie (with a slow reload).
Carry which ever you prefer, but don't suggest that folks who choose a .380 over a snubbie are making a bad choice or are not "trying hard enough" as some of you have suggested. Different circumstances, different needs.
