go ahead and mock me with your spring pix ... you know you are dying to do it ... reach for the gold ring .... ken |
Here is a link that might be useful: yeah.. somethings broken ... crikey ...
Follow-Up Postings:
brr. we had a slight dusting of snow, which has already disappeared. Temps this morning were below 30, so I wrapped my wintersown containers last nite. I'm glad I hadn't yet planted anything out. Hope your Spring comes soon. |
Here another several inches of snow this morning also in a zone 5, Hudson river is flooding. High temp today a sunny 45. Hostas were smart, do not show any pips yet. 4 inches snow supposedly is poor man's fertilizer. But most of the snow has melted away by the bright sun. Tomorrow will be in the 50s, so some day I will see pips. Bernd |

Wow, I feel for you. We were supposed to have a frost/freeze yesterday morning. It only went to 35 or so, but there was no way to cover all these hosta had it gone any lower. Look on the bright side, there was a year around 1870 where there was no summer. You may have a short one, but there should be a summer. Sorry you're having such a long winter. bk |
26 here right now. Light dusting of snow last nite, more on the way according to radar and due to start within minutes. This on top of the 2-3 inches of snow we rec'd Sunday/ Sunday night. |

We went from 84 degrees Saturday to an inch of snow Monday morning. Tuesday morning it got down to 24 degrees. There are some hosta pips up, but they seem to have taken the weather in stride. Just wait until summer, when all the zone 6 and 7 people are frying and you have relatively cool weather. Your time will come. |

We were right here with you in Omaha, Ken:( We had a record low of 22Âş yesterday and got right at 3" of snow as well the day before. Yipes! My old late hosta friend Scooty told me some good advice - never rake out your gardens til May 1. She keeps proving herself right! Now if I could just convince my husband of that... on March 1 he starts raking! This week I had several hosta poking up too. Sigh. |
Ken, I would totally accommodate you, but with the temps flirting with freezing tonight, it will probably exact retribution for you for my cheekiness! Oh, what the he!!, what's life if not lived dangerously and truly, you did ask for it! Here's hoping that yours sleeps until the RIGHT moment, and then blows your mind with beauty this year. As a second thought, let's hope that we eastern zone 7ers make it through this cold snap without damage. |

By mocking pix,I will not show you my Sagae lying flat to the ground,or my Lakeside Ripples doing the same. Hosta season is over. Hope you have a good one Ken! Phil |
Oh, no, Phil!!!!!! That is heartbreaking! I really feel for you. |
Maybe we northerners are the lucky ones afterall? Sorry to hear of weather damage. There's still no pip to be even dreamed of in my yard....the landscape crew at a Green Bay nursery told me yesterday that they cannot dig below 3 feet anywhere in the area...still frozen. It was my bday and I was over there trying to find a tricolor beech & Gentsch Hemlock in the snow.....my Birkenstocks did not like that, but I had great fun! Would have bought the Gentsch, but he had icy snow pompoms which I decided not to have melt in my car. No one else was there...I think the nursery people thought I was nutso! Great Cat Stevens "broken" link, Ken. He has been my favorite singer since the 1970s and I never tire of him. Had a nice little respit from my computer work just now, listening to a few more of his songs after "Morning"...thanks! |

Well, OK, Ken. But I haven't had time to arrange everything yet, and the light isn't right, here is a pic from today. I could rub it in and show you my flowering tomato plants... You can get back at me this summer with photos of your acres of hostas. ;-) -Babka |

My hostas are sitting underground where they belong. Only Choo Choo Train has sent eyes up high enough to see, and I stuck more leaves over them. |

For KEN: Mock, mock. |
yeah, 4 inches of rain sunday followed by 26 degrees and 2 inches of snow. the early spring crocus are just starting to pip, the trillium are done and gone ... stores are selling mulch now too ... the signs are here dave *near DM* |
Here they are! I'd better get going so I can uncover them before I leave for work. Bright sun and sixty degrees today, I'll have cooked hostas if I leave them covered. Kathy |

I know that so many of you have had a long, cold winter, ....but I'm glad it wasn't me this year. ;-) Usually I still have snow while other zone 5ers are posting their pips, but this year I've got hostas in various stages of growth, and they're eager to get going. Here's a couple of the biggest ones near the house: Our last (average) frost date is just under a month away, mid May, so I'm hoping for the best because I won't baby them if the temps get low. |

I thought - Well we've been posting about how difficult it would be. Maybe I should give it a shot and see if it might not be so bad. I've stared at the sketch for a couple of minute now trying to compose the steps in my head. It is that bad.
The sketch has very little detail. Even leaving out that there are no dimensions. The worst is that the "Top is Curved". How is it curved. I don't see any curve. The sketch looks like you would take a triangular block of wood and round two corners. But how does that make the top round. The bottom is flat. That's nice but it has rounded corners. The top is Curved but looks pretty much like the bottom. This obviously will connect to something else, a "filler block", and maybe more parts. Someone who has the complete plans might be able to visualize the part well enough to draw it.
The best I could come up with is draw a WEDGE and FILLET the corners. But that doesn't cover the curvyness of the top.
The number of views is more likely people with the same question looking for the answer. The origianal poster used the forum correctly. Busy, busy, busy. Why are you in the forums?
I don't see it open ended at all. Answer it and that's the end. As to how "hard" it is, who would know before they did it. Your response reminds me off all the people in front of me that were afraid people would learn "their" jobs. Guild work. Or wasting their time in forums when they obviously don't have any intention of help, just pushing education paths that maybe or are too expensive for the average joe, not being employed by companies who send their employees to training.
I'd suggest that the next time the posters want to "instruct" other posters it would be a good idea to stick to the question asked and leave the commentary and personal view points out. It's either one or zero - no ruffles needed.
Glad you got your head turned around...no 2x4 needed.
>> The number of views is more likely people with the same question looking for the answer
I don't think so, the counter will have to be splitted in some are looking if they can give answers and some are searching for answers. If that is now 50:50 or 90:10 depends on how long does this thread exist. Within the first day I think it's 90:10 helpers:searchers, the longer the thread is present the searchers-side will grow.
>> The origianal poster used the forum correctly
>> You're allowed to ask any question you want
Both statements are/may be correct, BUT:
For me a forum is first a big database where I can search getting some open points answered and if that failed (and only then) the question should be placed as new thread. In many times (not this thread, generally) my feeling is, that the OP has not tried to search by himself, just placed here his question thinking "people out there ==> do my job" or something like "do a search for me, I'm busy" and also this "if I have not detailed my question enough it's up to you to solve the open points, I have no time for that".... and if answers are presented that looks like "take a training" all are wondering, ... why? I can't understand that? To drive a car I also do a training (well in most countries) and have to spent time for learning before doing, I can't tell a forum to do my driver-license-check, why not also spent time for taining for CAD-systems.
And I think a lot of people here answering day-by-day (for years) multiple questions have a feeling about "when would a class be helpful". Both modes of answers, one telling "draw a line ... make a fillet ... extrude ... " and the other "a trainig will bring you up" may be correct for the OP.

You make a lot of assumptions.
The view counter is not split, and I do my searches specifically to find postings related to my question, therefore it's a view without me ever even thinking about me answering.
I know I've been looking for how to do spherical mapping and haven't found it although I've seen it on a Youtube video done by Autodesk. I looked for what version and machine they were using and couldn't find those elements. I've searched AutoDesk's information, done multiple web searches and at best am finding bits and pieces but still don't know how to do this in AutoCAD 2012 on a Mac - now how much "homework" do you think I've done? Too much. Funny, it's not as easy on the front end of learning as it is on the backend. I think those that know forget how hard it is for those that are learning and can be a bit pompous.
We both know everyone has opinions. However I still think you cut this guy off and then backed over him. Definitely not needed.
I also feel that AutoDesk should invest in Moderators to nail down some of the issues that pass before these questions. I have no idea what "Ask the Experts" does other than list multiple answers to topics and no way to search the whole area for your specifc question. I can't even find the "how to ask" portion.
No, not easy. One last thing, as I worked my way up in C programming I learn who I could ask questions and who I couldn't because the cost they wanted was just to high - I'm not talking about money here. I put it up to their knowning stuff but nobody wanted to deal with the condesening attitude that gave you a beating first and then may give you some tips, direction, or an honest "no I don't know'.

Maybe, sometimes, someone, but that's not valid in general. Those people answering day-by-day see these types of questions also every day and so they will also be remembered every day to how hard it's for new users of a software.
>> [...] and can be a bit pompous
If it's me who sounds like that, than sorry, that's my (non-)english, but that's not what or how I want to say/describe/answer anything.
>> [...] you cut this guy off
I didn't do that, I never gave an answer to OP directly
- alfred -
You responded to TonyDe, but I was the one who mentioned the number of view. Since my post was 1 day after the original post. I think it would be more likely that most of the view were people who were reading the post to see if they could help. I think the longer the time from the original post the more likely it is that it has come up in other people's searches.
Why am I in the forums? Three main reasons. One is to get help with my problems. Second is to help people with theirs. Third is to show off my skill. There. I said it!
The only thing I can find in AutoCAD on Spherical mapping is "Enter Spherical Coordinates" in help. That has very little information. A good source to review about coordinate systems in general is http://www.ejsurveying.com/Articles/Working_with_G
I've played around with Spherical Coordinates and they're not easy to work with. Are you trying to apply this to a specific purpose? Can you let us know what it is?

I did not even see this the first time around - your problem is getting lost in all the noise.
You should have posted a new thread specific to this problem statement.
And attach the YouTube url...

HPRC Blog
Welcome to the HPRC Blog. We've got lots of information here, from quick tips to in-depth posts about detailed human performance optimization topics.
HPRC Fitness Arena: Family & Relationships
As we've highlighted before, pets bring special benefits to their humans. But is there a "logical" explanation for why the human-animal connection is so rewarding? Some scientists think that physical contact with your pet (especially a dog)—such as stroking or holding the animal on your lap—as well as having a relationship with that animal (that is, knowing and caring for the pet) are two components that make the owner-pet relationship therapeutic. It appears that these can lead to an increase in a "feel-good" hormone (oxytocin) in humans. (Check out last week's post to learn about oxytocin and its impact on human relationships.) As little as five minutes of stroking a dog can result in a measurable increase in oxytocin levels. While it works for most people with any animal, the effect is stronger if the animal is one's own pet. In fact, the closer the relationship (including affectionate behavior), the more oxytocin is released. Researchers caution, though, that this effect doesn't work in those who don't like animals, a finding that needs more research.
Wanting some holistic strategies to enhance your performance? Check out the "One Shot One Kill (OSOK) Performance Enhancement Program" that shows Warfighters how to set up and manage their own performance-enhancement system. OSOK is designed not only to enhance performance but also to jumpstart Warfighter resilience. It builds on the skills that Warfighters already possess and then teaches new ones as needed.
There are two ways you can use OSOK: as an individual through "OSOK Solo" and as a unit/group through "OSOK-IP Unit." Both highlight "10 Rules of Engagement" and provide seven core modules: Controlled Response, Mind Tactics, Performance-Based Nutrition, Primal Fitness, Purpose, Code, and Recharge. OSOK also provides self-assessment forms so you can track your progress over time.
For other performance-enhancement programs and information about holistic (total) fitness, check out HPRC's Total Force Fitness domain.
Think about your feelings of connection in an intimate relationship, or the last time you were physically intimate with your loved one, and how you felt afterwards. Did you feel a flood of happiness, a feeling of closeness, or a sense of bonding? There is actually a physical reason behind some of these sensations: the hormone oxytocin.
Your body releases oxytocin into your blood and brain in response to sex, breastfeeding, and childbirth, as well as everyday behaviors such as touching and stroking—usually in trusting relationships. Oxytocin promotes social bonds; that is, it makes you feel "close" (emotionally) to another person, and it makes you feel good. Specifically, it increases eye contact, your ability to remember faces, and feelings of trust, generosity, and empathy. Other benefits of oxytocin include reduced aggression and stress and increased bonding, especially maternal bonding after birth. In fact, oxytocin is so effective at making you feel good and loving that it's often called the "love hormone" or the "cuddle drug."
With Valentine's Day approaching this week, many of you have love on your brains. So now you can think about it from a deeper perspective: how oxytocin plays a role in your love life.
HPRC recently posted an article with questions that parents of deploying Warfighters need to ask, but families of National Guard and Reserve Warfighters have additional challenges when their Warfighter deploys (such as being away from support at installations, financial changes, and shifts in childcare). It can help to think through some of these challenges and come up with a game plan ahead of time. Here are some examples to start with:
- Who needs to know about the upcoming deployment? (Teachers, doctors…)
- What's the plan in case of an emergency (either stateside or while deployed)?
- Will the childcare arrangements need to shift during deployment? (This is especially important for single parents.)
- Will family income be reduced? Who will manage finances during this time?
- How will family members keep in touch with the deployed Warfighter? Does everyone in the family agree, or are there individual preferences? (For example, your oldest child may prefer to Skype rather than write letters.)
- Are there any military support organizations those at home can use for extra support?
- Will any holidays or birthdays be missed during the deployment? If so, maybe something special can be done ahead of time and saved for the specific day.
For more information on resources for before, during, and after deployment, check out the "Families & Deployment" section of HPRC's website.
Many Warfighters relocate a lot, and moving to a new home is hard enough without the added stress of an injury. Here are some tips on how to properly lift and push/pull heavy objects such as moving boxes and furniture, and how to take care of yourself if you do sustain an injury:
- Wear less-restrictive clothing such as looser-fitting pants or workout clothes.
- Wear closed-toed shoes.
- Take breaks when necessary. Stretching and reassessing your mechanics can help you maintain proper posture when lifting. HPRC has tips on how to maintain flexibility and remove tension in your body.
- The U.S. Army has some additional Lifting Techniques for handling heavy objects.
- Remember to keep your core tight and use your leg muscles rather than your back to lift heavy objects.
The best way to prevent back injury is to strengthen your back and core muscles. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has suggestions and exercises to help build your back.
If you're sore from all the lifting or think you may have pulled something, you can treat the pain with ice and rest—and perhaps an over-the-counter pain reliever—for the first 48 hours. Follow the NIH guidelines on how to further treat your back pain if it's acute. However, if the pain persists, consult your doctor to rule out a more serious back problem or injury before you do any more heavy lifting. If all seems well, consider core-strengthening exercises to support your back. Taking a yoga class to relieve your pain, build your muscles, and return your back to normal function is a good option. In a recent large study of adults with chronic low back pain, those who participated in yoga classes saw reduced pain symptoms and improved mobility that lasted for several months.
For more about how to protect your back, please visit HPRC's Injury Prevention Series. Good luck with your PCS!
The stress of deployment can linger when you return home and resume (or start new) work responsibilities and relationships. Sometimes it can be difficult to know how much to share about recent deployment experiences in the work environment, particularly if your coworkers are not or have not been in the military. Some may ask a lot of questions and others may steer clear of the subject entirely. This can create an interesting dynamic in your work relationships. Afterdeployment.org emphasizes that discussing your experience is a decision that's completely up to you. So think ahead of time about how much (if any) you want to share, and be cautious about whom you choose to share with initially.
Afterdeployment.org also describes some common problems that can affect performance in the workplace. For example, combat experiences sometimes can impact your sleep quality, making it difficult to be at your peak at work. Other possible issues include inappropriate anger in response to people or situations and feeling uneasy and unable to let one's guard down in a crowded office or worksite. This Work Adjustment factsheet provides more information and tips that can help with common issues, and another on Informal Relationships at work for more information.
Building family resilience is a process that lasts a lifetime, but it can be immensely rewarding. But what is resilience and how can military families in particular build it? HPRC has a resource called "Building Family Resilience" that can give you answers to these questions. The article covers military-specific stressors for families—including how deployment and reintegration impact family relationships, war-related physical and mental health conditions, and individual stress responses and risky behaviors in family members, both adults and children. It also highlights three key resilience-building skills—mind-body, cognitive-behavioral, and communication—and highlights resources to build resilience. Check it out.
For more information on building family resilience, check out the Family Resilience section of HPRC's website.
Have you heard the terms "resilience" and "Total Force Fitness," but you're not quite sure what they mean or where they fit into the health and performance picture? Read on.
Your health is the foundation. The 2010 article "Why Total Force Fitness?" states, "nothing works without health." Health is not just physical and not just something to worry about when you're sick. Health is a combination of physical, mental, spiritual, and social well-being and includes practices that promote wellness in addition to those that help you recover from sickness or injury.
Resilience is next. Resilience is the ability to bounce back—or even better, forward—and thrive after experiencing hardship. It is not the ability to completely withstand hardship but rather the ability to come back from it and grow stronger through the experience.
Next is human performance optimization (HPO). Unlike resilience, which typically requires the experience of hardship, HPO involves performing at your best for whatever goal or mission you have (whether that is your PT test, a combat mission, or raising children). It goes beyond simply resisting challenges; it means functioning at a new optimal level to face new challenges.
Health, resilience, and optimal performance are the foundations of Total Force Fitness, which is defined in the "Physical Fitness" chapter of "Total Force Fitness for the 21st Century" (see link above) as a "state in which the individual, family, and organization can sustain optimal well-being and performance under all conditions." Being totally fit requires a holistic approach—that is, an approach that doesn't focus on just one aspect alone such as nutrition or physical fitness, but on multiple domains of fitness. It means attending to your mind (including psychological, behavioral, spiritual, and social components) and your body (including physical, nutritional, medical and environmental components). In order to achieve Total Force Fitness, these factors come together to enhance your resilience and/or performance.
This is where HPRC can help you on your quest for total fitness. By visiting each of our domains—Physical Fitness, Environments, Nutrition, Dietary Supplements, Family & Relationships, and Mind Tactics—you can get evidence-based information on a variety of holistic topics to help you achieve and sustain total fitness. But remember that total fitness is a life-long process that will ebb and flow. And it isn't just about you; your loved ones are an important piece of the picture, too.
To learn more, check out HPRC's "What is 'Total Force Fitness'?" and for in-depth information, visit the Total Force Fitness Articles section of HPRC's website.
Calling all parents of deployed or soon-to-be deployed Warfighters! With your son or daughter's deployment—particularly the first one—there are probably questions that need answering before your son or daughter heads out. Experts suggest some of the following may help prepare for your child's deployment:
- Help your Warfighter figure out what responsibilities need to be covered while he or she is deployed and which ones can be managed from abroad. For example, how will the cell phone bill get paid? If he/she has a pet, who will care for it? (Check out HPRC's article about the latter.) Are there any bills that can be put on autopayment (such as a car payment)?
- Also, who will keep/store the car, motorcycle, or other belongings? Will anyone be allowed to drive or use them?
- Then there are the tough but necessary questions such as who will make medical decisions if your Warfighter becomes disabled and who will be the beneficiary of death benefits.
- Finally, if your Warfighter has a girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband, make sure you know them and have established open lines of communication, as they are often the ones with the most information about your son or daughter while deployed.
Planning for these kinds of details ahead of time can help make deployment(s) go smoothly. You can also encourage them to take advantage of their G.I. benefits for schooling while deployed. For more resources to help with deployment, explore the Deployment section of HPRC's Family & Relationships domain.
Over the last seven weeks, HPRC has run a series on tips for keeping the happy in holidays this season for you and your family. We highlighted many strategies, such as being a gratitude hunter, how to be more optimistic, and how to accept things you can't control. We also highlighted tips for your relationships, such as setting appropriate expectations, identifying possible friction points ahead of time, and celebrating your family and friends. Look back over these in our Mind Tactics and Family & Relationships domains over the last seven weeks to review.
In wrapping up, our last tip is to remember that you know yourself best. Try a combination of the tips we highlighted each week to see which ones work for you, the ones that fit your strengths, and those that suit where you are right now in life. Ups and downs are common during the holiday season, but if you keep your perspective, stay realistic, make time for fitness, and foster new memories with your loved ones, this just might be your best New Year yet!

I have created a simple device that takes in signals from the classic Nintendo Gameboy and does some magic to allow you to hook it up to a typical television. This device can also scale the image without distorting it. It is worth noting that the Nintendo Gameboy display has an unusual aspect ratio, so there is some blank space around the scaled image with all existing commercial displays and televisions.
The visitor would see some classic Gameboy games being played on a normal television or monitor. There would also be a wired controller that would connect to the Gameboy, so that passerby's could easily start playing some of the great Gameboy titles they played when they were kids, this time on a much larger screen.

Our searchable tool has been updated to include final responses from 48 state attorneys general and 41 state health departments about a wide range of issues involving abortion. The additional responses support our earlier analysis—that abortion in the United States is overwhelmingly safe and highly regulated.
The fallout from the Supreme Court's decision in Baby Veronica continues. Meanwhile, in Montana, justice seems a long way off.
Some voters may just be coming back from summer vacation, but politicians and political action groups in New Jersey, Virginia, and Georgia are in full campaign mode.
Despite warnings from the state attorney general's office that the proposal is illegal, communications regulators with ties to Care Net want to divert regulatory fines to the national crisis pregnancy center chain.
Under the new plan, abortion coverage will be eliminated for all State Health Benefit Plan members except in cases when the pregnant person's life is in danger.
Former Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel announced that she is running for an open U.S. Senate seat in Georgia, while Virginia Republicans selected Bishop E.W. Jackson as their nominee for lieutenant governor in this year's election.
Organizing in Georgia and Illinois shows that the domestic workers' movement is not exclusive to predictable blue states.
For now, the rights of some of the most vulnerable people in Georgia are safe. But we must remain ever-vigilant to support those fragile rights.
Georgia wants to join the flood of states trying to force women to give birth by making abortion unaffordable.
Every year when the anniversary of Roe v. Wade rolls around, I am troubled by the loud silences in our triumphant tales of struggle. As a history doctoral student who researches African Americans and abortion, the story I tell is quite different.

Love the picotee anemone form above. I have hundreds of plants in bud right now, but only H. x nigercors (which has been in full bloom since November), H. foetidus, and one plant of H. niger in actual open blossom yet. Interesting that the picotees tend to be among the latest blooming strains in my garden. |

Diane - stunning hellebores and photos! I can't wait to grow enough shade to plant a few. Recently, I've been looking into winter blooms (posting info on my blog) because we're enjoying our winter daphne so much. The flowering apricot trees are blooming right now and I've been taking photos of those as I go out and about our area. We're so fortunate to have twelve blooming months -- if we plan and plant accordingly. Cameron |
Thanks Cameron,You dont have to plant them in full shade.I have some in full sun.... |
- Posted by wonbyherwits z7 NC (My Page) on Sat, Jan 31, 09 at 22:38
My full sun garden is far too hot without some afternoon shade. Heucheras burn up. My willow and magnolia will soon be large enough. |
Susie, the hellebore that you first posted; does it have a name? Is there somewhere I could look for it; I really like it. |
This may be a dumb question, but are hellebores a type of anemone? Or is that just the name of that type of hellebore in the first pic? Thanks :) |
the first photo is...........Picotee Anenome Hybrids.....excuse me red neck spelling.............. |
Diane, is the green one a species hell or an x hybridus? |
Hi Karen......The green flower is Helleborus Cyclophyllus......... |
I thought it might be. That one's on my wish list this year. I've got a couple of the other green flowering species (odorus, viridis, dumetorum) and really like how they look in the woods. Did you have any problems with bud development after that <10 degree weather? I've got some opening now where the sepals look fine but the nectaries and stamens don't fully develop. |

Great pictures! Anemone is just a descriptive term. To see (and shop!) for hellebores, don't miss Plant Delight's open house coming up 02/27/09 and 02/28/09, plus the next weekend of 03/06 and 03/07. |
Hi Karen, I got some brown on some of the buds from the freeze.I dont think it hurt the flower in any way.I have many more to open.I will take a closer look...thanks.....Diane Hi Mike, I dont do PD open house.I have ordered from them and got piss poor plants.I called them , emailed them, over 6-8 times......I would rather order my hellebores out of the country than deal with PD...........Diane |

OMG - those hellbores are beautiful - I have about 5 plants that 'may' bloom for me this year. It seems like it is taking forever. Some have been in the ground for 4 years from a mail-order source. Are they difficult to start from seed???? - I am heavy into WSing but haven't tried them yet. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures - what a delight while we wait for spring to hit in full force. My daphne is downright intoxicating right now - love it ..... Lynne |
Hi Lynne, I start most of my hellebore from seed.There is a hellebore forum on GW, it has some great information on growing hellebore from seed.I have about 20-30 pots outside now waiting to germinate.I should see them in nov-dec-09..........it takes time.........lots of it....I am glad you liked the pictures..........Diane |
Susie, the different ones you have are beautiful, and great shots too. Carla |

The Longhorns are again right where they've been for much of this decade, sitting at home for regional play with a national seed in their back pocket following a stellar regular season. The 2007 campaign saw UT claim first place in the Big XII after putting together a 21-6 league mark and 44-15 overall record.
You may not know much about the Big West Conference, but the Anteaters will attest that it's no easy task with the likes of Cal State-Fullerton, Long Beach State, and UC Riverside on the schedule from week to week. Irvine survived quite nicely though, going 15-6 in conference play and 40-15 overall to earn the at-large berth.
Though the Demon Deacons finished a pair of games below .500 in ACC play and actually just six games above the break-even mark overall, they were awarded one of the final at-large berths to this year's NCAA tournament after losing to UNC in the ACC Tournamnet title game.
A 27-19 overall record and 14-6 mark in Ivy League play was enough to earn the Bears a matchup with Penn in the conference playoffs. Brown took that series 2-0 to earn the only automatic berth in this regional. Southerncollegesports.com

When Lee G. Lovett first told me about the most recent news regarding Charles Barkley, I honestly didn't know what he'd say next.
Charles Barkley recently made some comments regarding Josh Gordon of the Cleveland Browns and the suspension that is likely going to incur which would keep him out for an entire season, due to his failing of a urinalysis test several weeks ago after he had a couple of beers and failed the test. He had a DWI earlier this year and it has resulted in his being tested more regularly by the league under threats of a lengthy suspension if he is caught.
Charles Barkley decided to weigh in on the situation and told the media that Josh Gordon is going to die if he doesn't change his life around. A lot of people responded on the airways about Gordon, so he took the time to type up a lengthy response which was truly poetic and incredibly insightful into his life. He thanked Barkley and then stated that he cannot make these statements because he doesn't even know him. Josh Gordon grew up in the hood where guns and drugs were an everyday thing and he paints a very different picture about how he has been incredibly successful because he has escaped that.
He went on to say he does have a checkered past, but that alcohol and marijuana are simply something that he has had a relationship with due to his tough upbringings, but that things are different now and he doesn't really have a problem. He backed it up with drug test proof and his low blood alcohol content at the time of his arrest, which was 0.09.

Running a dental practice takes a lot of knowledge that goes beyond the clinical aspects of dentistry.
There are several books related to leadership that offer advice for business owners, but there are five specific publications that CDA Director of Practice Management Michael Perry, DDS, has identified that will help dentists succeed in their practices.
"These books aren't the be-all, end-all for guidance on how to structure your business model, but they do provide a good foundation for dentists to reference as they navigate the intricacies of being a leader in their practices," Perry said.
Good to Great, by Jim Collins
This book discusses how a good company can become a great company and is based on a five-year research project comparing teams that made a leap to those that did not. Good to Great shows that greatness is a result of a matter of conscious choice and discipline. It also delves into concepts like Level 5 Leadership, First Who and the Flywheel. Collins began his research and teaching career on the faculty at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, where he received the Distinguished Teaching Award in 1992. In 1995, he founded a management laboratory in Boulder, Colo., where he now conducts research and consults with executives from the corporate and social sectors.
Wooden on Leadership, by John Wooden and Steve Jamison
This book reveals how to apply John Wooden's Pyramid of Success within your own organization. It includes rarely seen excerpts from Wooden's private notebooks on team building and competitive greatness. Wooden led UCLA to 10 national NCAA championships and was the first person to be inducted into the College Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player and coach. His life lessons and values are shared worldwide.
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, by Steven Covey
This book helps people solve personal and professional problems through key habits. A few of the habits include: taking responsibility for your life; developing an imagination, or the ability to envision in your mind what you cannot at present see with your eyes; and synergizing, or the habit of creative cooperation. The book emphasizes that such habits don't just happen accidentally. Covey has been recognized as one of Time magazine's 25 most influential Americans.
The Essential Drucker, by Peter Drucker
A compilation of essential materials from Peter Drucker, who was a writer, professor, management consultant and self-described "social ecologist," who explored the way human beings organize themselves and interact much the way an ecologist would observe and analyze the biological world. The Essential Drucker discusses basic principles and concerns of management and its problems, challenges and opportunities, giving professionals the tools to perform the tasks that the economy and society of tomorrow will demand of them. Drucker's 39 books, along with other popular articles, predicted many of the major developments of the late 20th century.
The E Myth, by Michel Gerber
The E-Myth dispels the myths surrounding starting a business and shows how commonplace assumptions can get in the way of running a business. The book discusses the steps in the life of a business from entrepreneurial infancy, through adolescent growing pains, to the mature entrepreneurial perspective. Also discussed is how to apply the lessons of franchising to any business whether or not it is a franchise, as well as the distinction between working on your business and working in your business. INC. Magazine called Gerber "the World's #1 Small Business Guru." He started more than 40 years ago addressing a need in the small business market: businesses owned primarily by people with technical skills but few business skills.
Perry said these books provide dentists with a great overview of running a business/practice.
"Each book addresses leadership from a different context: Seven Habits emphasizes the importance of goals and how to achieve them via effective human interactions; Good to Great teaches characteristics of strong leaders; Wooden on Leadership presents fundamentals, among many other ideas; Essential Drucker explains the difference between leadership and management; and The E Myth shows how to duplicate others' successful strategies," Perry said.
To help with developing leadership in the practice and more, CDA recently launched CDA Practice Advising, an in-depth consulting service designed to help dentists practice smarter and increase their profitability. For more information, visit cda.org/advising.

im very please with the bucket and lid.. i also bought the metalized liner and oxygen absorbers. im storing bread flour in the bucket. next will be rice and dry milk. delivery was quick and best price i found online.
Posted on 4/28/14 by linda
What I like is...
...these 6 gal. buckets perfectly hold a 50# bag of grain or nuts. The lids are also easier to get on and off than others I've encountered, while still sealing tightly.
Posted on 3/31/12 by Tumbleweed
Quality Product
These buckets exceeded expectations in all aspects. The lids are high quality as well and they are reusable if you purchase the bucket-opener tool. My buckets were shipped promptly and well packaged. Thanks to Emergency Essentials and thanks to Pastor D for shedding light on these great products.
Posted on 2/25/11 by Jude
Better than expected
Container is larger than the 5 gallon and the lid has a rubber seal inside making it water and airtight, even though it is not spelled out in the article. It is made of high grade plastic. I wish it was available in black to prevent light penetration into stored food.
Posted on 8/6/10 by Jeff
I bought two of these buckets. They were just what I was looking for. I also bought the Metalized liners to go inside to protect my wheat storage. I also got the gamma seal lids. Thanks for being my one stop store to purchase these hard to find items.

Prayers for Allegany native gunned down
by Evan White
Allegany, N.Y. -- It came as a shock to friends and family. One of their own, 34-year-old Patrick Miller, was among the nineteen people shot by a gunman at Fort Hood on Wednesday.
It was one of the gut wrenching situations, said Mike Wilber, Millers former football coach.
The Buffalo News reported Thursday afternoon that Millers condition has improved.
The Associated Press reported no more deaths are expected, according to a doctor who had treated some of those injured in the attack.
Being attacked at home, not in a combat situation, its just as devastating as anything else in your home town, said Alexander Zehnder, LTC and Professor of Military Science at St. Bonaventure University.
Three soldiers were killed, and sixteen others left injured before the gunman killed himself.
We hope that he'll come out of the other side of this and continue to do great things, added Zehnder.

Review of Computing Education Events at NUI Galway in 2013
The annual Computing Summer Camp ran for two weeks in the Information Technology discipline at NUI Galway, from Monday 10 June to Friday 21 June. This was the fourth year that it has been run, and it attracted bigger numbers than ever, with 100 students participating over the 2 week period. Students ranged in age from 13 to 17. They came from secondary schools across Galway City and County, as well as from Dublin, Clare, Mayo, Roscommon, Westmeath and Sligo.
Throughout the camp students participated in a number of activities including writing computer games in Scratch, creating web apps with HTML5 and JavaScript, building and programming autonomous robots, and making 3D computer models. On each Friday, a competition was held where students work on solo or group projects using their favourite technologies from the week, and prizes were awarded for the best ones.
This year, the Discipline of Information Technology also ran a Computer Science & Information Technology Experience Day for the first time on Monday 24 June, organised by Dr Enda Howley and Dr Conor Hayes. Its goal is to provide senior-cycle students with a taste of university life, and featured lectures, demonstrations of research projects and hands-on software development activities.
Dr Michael Madden, Head of the Information Technology Discipline at NUI Galway, said: "With our Summer Camp and Experience Day, as well as introducing second-level students to exciting technologies, we wanted to help dispel some incorrect stereotypes about degrees and careers in computer science and information technology, such as that they are male-only, solitary, and desk-bound. To that end, we particularly welcomed female participants, we arranged group projects, and we encouraged outdoor activities during break times."
The huge interest in this year's Computing Summer Camp is mirrored by the increasing number of applications for computing degree programmes such as the BSc in Computer Science and Information Technology at NUI Galway, as well as the rapid growth of CoderDojo nationally and internationally.

Risk appetite spurs rand recovery
Comment on this storyThe rand rallied to its best level in two weeks against the US dollar on Thursday' spurred by a renewed global risk-on environment amid revived hopes of progress on the US fiscal cliff talks.
At 11.54am' the rand was bid at R8.7641 to the US dollar from Wednesday's close of R8.8190. The local currency was bid at R11.3761 to the euro from its previous close of R11.4186 and at R14.0425 against sterling from R14.1167 before.
The euro was bid at $1.2987' from $1.2951 at its previous close.
"The key support level for the rand is now at R8.75 to the US dollar'" a local trader said.
The latest optimism on the fiscal cliff talks was fuelled by John Boehner' the house speaker and effective Republican leader' who expressed optimism that a deal could be reached' RMB analysts said. - I-Net Bridge

Microsoft has announced it's to discontinue the production of its Inside Xbox video content in US that's streamed to Xbox 360 consoles.
275631The closure will affect shows like Major's Minute, Featured Videos and Insider Moves packaged under the Inside Xbox brand.
For now, the announcement only applies to the American video production, which affects US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Regarding other regions Microsoft said: "Xbox LIVE in EMEA is currently looking at its operating model for Inside Xbox. This could potentially result in some changes, but we have no news here to share yet. Xbox LIVE in Mexico and Japan will continue to produce first-party content for its members via other media outside of the Inside Xbox brand."
Video content will in future come from outside sources, add MS. "We will be leveraging third-party news and video content available through a variety of existing and future partners, and supplementing this content with select first-party offerings," it said.
It's not great news, but unsurprising considering the latest dashboard system hid it away so deeply it was pretty much impossible to stumble upon.

N.C. Unemployment Rate Up Slightly After Months Of Decline
The state unemployment rate is up for the first time since January.
North Carolina's Commerce Department said this morning July's jobless rate was 8.9 percent, up from 8.8 percent the previous month. The rate had been dropping or staying level for five straight months until now.
Department of Commerce spokesman Larry Parker says the number of workers in the labor force was largely unchanged, but the number of people with jobs dropped by nearly 14,000.
"We had a gain of about 1,500 people that became unemployed, and that probably was the factor in the rate going up a tenth," Parker says. He contends the net increase in jobs means North Carolina is still showing slow growth.
"But when you look at the jobs side of it - the employer survey side of it - there was a small increase in jobs. Whether it's a small or large increase, any time you've got a gain in jobs, it's always a good thing."
The biggest loss was in the government sector with about 5,000 cuts. But the trade, transportation and utilities industries added around the same number of jobs. The national unemployment rate was 7.4 percent in July.

The History of Art and Visual Culture Department (HAVC) at the University of California at Santa Cruz offers a course of study leading to the Ph.D. in Visual Studies. The Ph.D. is designed to steep our graduates in the most theoretically relevant methodologies for understanding the significance of visual artifacts and the social and cultural qualities of human vision; provide students with exposure to a range of cultural perspectives and visual artifacts drawn from around the world; and cultivate in our graduates the necessary skills and knowledge to secure and excel in academic and curatorial positions. The program is both interdisciplinary and flexible. Students work closely with their advisors and the Director of Graduate Studies to craft a personalized course of study that advances their intellectual and professional goals.
The program employs a wide range of visual evidence for examination, without being constrained by traditional hierarchies of art or art history. Fine arts, architecture, photography, film, performances, utilitarian objects, and popular entertainments all are primary source material for scholars in the field. The program at Santa Cruz is particularly adept at illustrating significant differences in how disparate cultural groups interpret their visual worlds, given the breadth of cultural perspectives taught by our faculty. With scholars focusing on cultures in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific Islands, Visual Studies at Santa Cruz offers students an unparalleled opportunity to consider the role of social and cultural forces in guiding how and what their members see.
Applications for 2015-16 will be accepted from October 1- December 15, 2014. For official information about the application process, please visit the UCSC Graduate Division and their application instructions.
Visual Studies Planned Learning Outcomes
Graduates from the Visual Studies Ph.D. program will have demonstrated the following:
PLO 1. Core Knowledge. Students will demonstrate mastery of the history of visual culture theory and methods by being able to describe and analyze the internal and external criticisms, debates, and reformulations of the field, both historical and current.
PLO 2. Research. Students will demonstrate the ability to use research methods and analysis appropriate for carrying out their independent and original research.
PLO 3: Pedagogy: Students will demonstrate the ability to plan curricula and learning programs, to express ideas clearly and explain them to others, and to assess student work fairly and accurately.
PLO 4. Scholarly Communication. Students will demonstrate effective communication skills in presenting research findings in oral and written forms.
PLO 5. Professionalism. Students will demonstrate professional preparation including the ability to write grants, to submit publications to journals and presses, and to participate in professional organizations and conferences.

Yes, I'm sure it's been done before, but for my sake (as well as those who may be new to shooting); would some of you care to BRIEFLY share your procedure to "zero" your rifle (iron sights / scopes / red dots). Hopefully it will be educational!

Assuming you mean a scoped rifle. Place rifle in rest. Target at 25 yards. Fire shot, holding crosshair on center. Observe strike of bullet. Put crosshairs back on center, and without moving rifle, turn scope turret knobs to move the crosshairs to where the bullet DID hit. Now try it at 50/100 yds.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Briefly. 1,Boresight it (with magnifying optics). That will put you on paper without wasting ammo. 2.Benchrest it. Ideally, a vise clamp. Practically, two heavy sandbags will do. Shoot a group of 3. 3.Adjust the sights. Rear goes the same way as you want your hits (higher means up, etc) Front, if necessary, goes the opposite way. Red dot - same as rear irons. Optics - a 4 way adjustment, see manual. 4.Shoot another 3. Repeat until dead on.
Thanks for the replies... anyone else wanna chime in? RJ
If the scope is already on the rifle I will set a target out at 100 yards and see what happens. If it hits the target I will adjust to center the shot group. If I am putting a scope on a rifle for the first time I will remove the bolt and lay the rifle on sand bags on a table. It is just so it sits still. I will put a target out at 25 yards. I look through the bore to see the target. When the rifle is lined up I adjust the scope to center on the target. I put the bolt back in and fire a round. If it hits anywhere near the center I move the target out further. Eventually I get it out to 100 yards and adjust the scope there. At that point I shoot 3 shot groups. Then I use the center of the three shots as my point of impact. I just keep adjusting the scope until the center of the group is in the center of the target. Hunting rifles I zero at 200 yards. Everything else I zero at 100.
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
i use a combination of C3's method and a bore sighting tool. the boresighter is a valuable tool if you own several rifles with scopes. and can be used to verfy scope adjustments without having to shoot the rifle. i also like to use a very large piece of cardboard for a target.
A good bench rest that doesn't move is about the best advice I can give. Get some ratchet tie downs and make it tight to the table.
i will mechanically zero the scope. this means if the there are 120 clicks stop to stop i will set the knob at 60 true for elevation and windage. if the rifle has a canted rail, they come in 10,20,30,40 moa ill set the elevation whatever cant value is down. this will almost certainly get you on paper or very close. i used to bore sight but dont really bother anymore. if the first shot isnt on paper (extremely rare after a mechanical zero) ill fire one round using the center of each edge as a aimpoint until a shot hits and adjust from there. i like using a 20x20 target.
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things... "I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
I will be joining up with Jon soon to zero in my Henry. I want to try to do it myself with Jon's guidance. Thanks to the OP for asking this question. I'm learning from it.
Use a laser bore sight to get reticle in the ballpark, even down a hallway in your home will suffice to get on paper at the range. Head out, use cheap ammo to walk the bullet to the center, then use desired ammo to zero in.

BSOD playing Borderlands 1&2
Hello everyone,
I recently (2/3 months ago) got a new PC and all was fine until just over a month ago when I had a BSOD whilst playing Borderlands 1. I can't remember exactly, but I was probably running Mumble (as well as Logitech G15 software and all the AlienwareFX and thermal software etc.) Well today I had a BSOD after playing Borderlands 2 for about 5 minutes (previously having played for 18 so far). Also running Skype, Chrome and the background stuff I mentioned before. I'm updating my drivers now, but I would appreciate it if someone could have a look at my logs just to make sure that it isn't anything too catastrophic EDIT: I'd just like to add that while I am using a beta graphics driver now, I wasn't at the time of the first BSOD. Thanks again, Seb |

Hello again,
I followed most of the steps in that guide (except resetting my pagefile, forgot about that one) a few weeks ago and had no problems for a while, even while playing a fair bit of Team Fortress 2 and Garry's Mod 13 (beta). Unfortunately today I had two more Stop 0x116 errors whilst playing Tekkit (minecraft mod) on fairly high settings. I played it for about 5 hours yesterday without a problem, but today had two crashes both within 5 minutes of starting the game. I think I was on the 301.13 whql nvidia video driver at the time of the first crash, and by the second I had updated to the latest 306.97 whql driver. Anyway, I've attached both of the minidumps and what the SF diagnostic tool grabbed. Maybe (since it is a really new PC) I should just get it sent back for the graphics card to be replaced? Thanks again. Attachment 237546 Attachment 237548 |

Try to uninstall and reinstall nvidai driver.
Let us know the result. |

20 Oct 2012 | #5 |
I have used Driver Fusion, but it seems that even after I hit delete on all of the nvidia display items, there are still some left (see attachment). I don't know whether they have any significance, but I'm going to continue with installing the driver anyway. I'll go back and do it again if you deem it necessary, though.
Attachment 237607 EDIT: Played more Tekkit without any problems (slight lag after an hour of playing...), and my GPU temp was steady around 51 degrees, CPU temp 49. |

No blue screens to report, however I have been getting lots of game freezes (in Tekkit and Skyrim. Tekkit ones are all within 5 mins of starting though, whereas in Skyrim I played for a few hours before freezes). It let me ctrl+alt+del my way out, so it's not all bad. Just a nuisance.

How old the graphics card is?
And how dense games settings you are using? |
My System Specs |
22 Oct 2012 | #9 |
I have a GTX680. They came out this year and are pretty close to the top of the range. Should easily be able to handle anything thrown at it, but even so I lowered the settings on Tekkit to like half and still had issues. Skyrim I was playing on full max settings however.

22 Oct 2012 | #10 |
You try reducing the texture settings etc to normal or lower ... it may reduce the issue.

Absolutely gorgeous! Does anyone know the trick to getting them to strike? I was generously given one, but had no luck. I let it callous for a couple of days, put it in a damp sandy mix, tried it in shade, tried it in bright light, tried it moister, and lastly tried it dry. Its dead now! I understand why no one wants to part with them! B_A |
Yes, I have one with 3 heads given by my friend many months ago. I plant it in sandy soil but there is no sign of growth. I think it' one of Broms difficult to keep around. Cheers Yong |

I don't think I will be around to see mine grow like that. I have one with about 12 heads in a hanging pot that gets morning light and give it a dunking weekly. |
The one at the Ruth Bancroft garden is as large or larger and in a different way-it's growing mostly over one large boulder(as i recall),you cant help but run your hand over its spineyness. |

Welcome to Maine School Administrative District 75

The four communities of Maine School Administrative District No. 75 are united in our dedication to develop confident, life-long learners. It is our mission to work together to ensure a community of fluent learners, critical thinkers and creative contributors to our society.
Mt. Ararat High School Project November 25, 2014 After many years seeking state funding, M.S.A.D. No. 75 will be addressing facility needs at Mt. Ararat High School. The Board of Directors is looking for members of the community to serve on committees that will be closely involved in the process. The District has applied for school construction funding for high school improvements in all of the state Department of Educations rating cycles since 1999, and recently received approval from the Maine Department of Education to begin this lengthy and comprehensive process. The next step now is the selection of a designer to provide architectural and engineering services. Once selected, the architect leads a 21-step process for major capital development. This will begin with an analysis of the current building and site to determine whether renovation or new construction will best serve the needs of our students. Typically such a study and decision will be completed within six months from the time the architect is selected. It is important to note that the District will work in partnership with the Maine Department of Education to provide the quality of learning environments for our students designed for the next 40-50 years. Mt. Ararat High School was originally built in 1973 and is a two-story structure augmented by three portable units providing six classrooms. Its original design was an open classroom concept for grades 7-12. Facility upgrades have been made to the school over the years, but educational needs and changes throughout the years have made the school a likely candidate for major capital improvements. The Board of Directors is looking for one parent or community member to serve on the Designer Selection Committee (DSC), which will follow the States process to select an architect for the project. This committee will meet several times over the next few months, which could include both day and evening meetings. The process may involve visitations to other schools. Committee members will work to:
Once this task is complete, the work of the DSC will come to an end. The Board is looking for two parent or community members for the Building Committee, which are positions requiring a long-term commitment. This committee may be active as long as five years with the following responsibilities:
There will be numerous sub-committees formed to address specific aspects of the school design through this process. The work of these committees will be of a shorter duration and will be focused on specific areas. Interested parties should send a letter responding to the following:
Designer Selection Committee ___ Sub-committees ___
Parties interested in serving on the Designer Selection Committee must submit their letters of interest by December 10, 2014. Parties interested in serving on the Building Committee and/or sub-committees must submit their letters of interest by January 12, 2015. The submission deadline has now passed. Letters of interest should be sent to: Office of the Superintendent of Schools Attn: Mt. Ararat HS Building Project 50 Republic Avenue Topsham, ME 04086 Parents and community members who are interested in serving on committees associated with the project can find more information on the Districts website at www.link75.org. |

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 Sam Hill!
Facts about Sam Hill
- Breed: Weimaraner/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Sam Hill's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Sam is such a big, beautiful boy! At just about a year and a half old this Weimaraner Lab mix wandered up to one of our southern foster homes last summer.
He caught the eye of a family in CT and has been living with them for about 6 months.
He is a fantastic dog in so many ways...great with other dogs, cats, horses, kids, you name it he loves them. He is house broken, great on a leash, LOVES to go for rides in the car, and is just loves to be with his people. He has basic training (know sit, stay, lie down) as well. Sam's only issue is that he does not like to be left alone.
His family is in and out all day and are hoping he can find a family that will be able to stay with him more often or take him to work with them. He is getting training on how to be better on his own and this training will go with him if needed. If you think Sam would fit into your lifestyle and want to give this sweet guy a great life let us know.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sam Hill, a Conway Weimaraner/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Weimaraner/Labrador Retriever for sale in Conway, or seeking a Weimaraner/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Conway.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Conway 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 Conway 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 Weimaraner/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Weimaraner/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Conway paves the way for another one to be saved.
