Radio Killa & Def Jam will release a commercial version of The-Dream's 2011 mixtape 1977, a collection that will feature two new songs. One of those surfaced today — it's called "AK-47″ — and it's a pretty hard-hitting, catchy track where The-Dream compares his girl to an assault weapon (as you could imagine). I'm guessing the conception of 1977 as a commercial disc might have something to do with the fact that The-Dream's newest release has been repeatedly delayed. Hear "AK-47″ at YouTube. 1977 is out 12/18 via Radio Killa/Def Jam.

Imagine all the text messages and voicemails Steve Clifford received when he was named coach of the Charlotte Bobcats last spring.
Most were congratulations from longtime colleagues. Two others were specific to the roster Clifford would inherit.
Darvin Ham, who coached with Clifford on the Los Angeles Lakers staff, and Jameer Nelson, whom Clifford coached on the Orlando Magic, left the same message:
Make sure power forward Josh McRoberts stays a Bobcat.
Clifford still remembers Nelsons words: Everyone in the NBA loves playing with Josh.
Clifford looks back on that as prophetic. Center Al Jefferson is this teams most valuable player and point guard Kemba Walker its rising star. Team owner Michael Jordan nailed it in October, though, when he said McRoberts was the key Bobcat this season.
The success of this team is McRoberts how well he can connect the dots, Jordan said then.
McRoberts, 27, who played at Duke in 2005-07, is a rarity in the NBA. Hes a 6-foot-10 power forward with the ball-handling, passing and decision-making skills of a point guard plus the mindset to put others success above his own. His statistics 8.5 points, 4.3 assists and 4.8 rebounds dont convey how important he has been to this teams playoff run.
McRoberts and Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah are the best passing big men in the NBA. Its telling that McRoberts assist-to-turnover ratio the gold standard for efficient passing in basketball is second in the NBA at 4:1. Only Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Pauls is better at 4.5:1.
Last week when Walker was out with a groin injury, McRoberts came up with 10 assists against the Boston Celtics. Jefferson was asked afterward about McRoberts point-guard imitation.
When Kemba does play we tell them Josh is still our point guard, Jefferson said.
Jefferson was joking sort of. Almost from the day McRoberts joined the Bobcats in a February 2013 trade, the teams ball-movement improved. As Clifford puts it, McRoberts makes simple, smart decisions and drives the ball in a way that sets up teammates.
Charlotte shooting guard Gerald Henderson, who played with him at Duke, observed what makes McRoberts approach distinctive.
When most players hear, Participate in the offense, that means score, Henderson said. With Josh, its about figuring how we can all perform better at that end of the court. He could score more, but thats not a priority. He knows what hes good at and he practices that very well.
So well that Jordan said back in October one of his concerns was McRoberts opting out of his contract this off-season and testing free agency. This guy who has played for four franchises since 2011 has become integral to what the Bobcats do.
The cause
Its no secret how the state of Indiana cherishes basketball and the Hoosiers movie approach to selfless play. McRoberts embraces that: Dont take yourself too seriously; take the game way seriously.
McRoberts learned the game from his father and grandfather, who both played for Butler, one of the great mid-major programs in college basketball. He grew up in Indianapolis playing high school ball against future pros Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr., Eric Gordon and Daequan Cook.
They came together in the summer to form a devastating AAU team called Spiece Indy Heat.
McRoberts and Conley, now the Memphis Grizzlies point guard, created a spirit of unselfishness that became viral. As McRoberts described, theyd all already made their point with college recruiters, so why not play like a real team in the summer?
From the time I started playing basketball at 5 years old, Ive always enjoyed making the play that ties people together, McRoberts said.
Whether its a pass or talking on the floor, something to make things easier. In AAU, I think people saw I wouldnt shoot it every time. Throw a couple of passes and you end up with a dunk. Thats pretty fun.
And remarkably uncommon. Summer ball at the youth level becomes chaotic, selfish and disorganized. This was a renouncement of the culture.
You dont get noticed in basketball for seeing the play before it happens for making that pass that leads to the pass for the backdoor. Or to make a hard cut to the rim to draw two defenders so that someone has an open corner 3, Conley said of McRoberts. Those are selfless acts and thats how hes been all his life.
Thats the serious side Clifford has so come to value. The goofy side the long hair-and-beard Robin Hood look is also part of what makes this work.
Conley offered a golf story to illustrate the point.
A couple of years ago Conley and McRoberts were invited to play a charity tournament in Terre Haute, Ind. McRoberts claimed how serious hed become about golf.
So Conley arrived in his best golf attire. Heres how McRoberts arrived:
He shows up in basketball shorts and Chuck Taylors, Conley said. He laughed it off and we went out and had a really good time. Hes laid back, doesnt take anything too seriously.
McRoberts amended Conleys statement: He takes basketball very seriously. Hes intensely competitive about what he does. That doesnt have to morph into overbearing and selfish.
I try to get along with everybody thats my personality, McRoberts said. Especially on a team: Take advantage of everybodys strengths.
The effect
McRoberts skills are an acquired taste. Theres nothing SportsCenter-flashy about what he does, so hes played for five NBA franchises since going in the second round of the 2007 draft to Portland.
(An aside on his two seasons at Duke: McRoberts said playing for Mike Krzyzewski wasnt the best fit for me, thats all Ill say I probably stayed longer than I should have.)
His best stretch before the Bobcats was 21/2 seasons with the Indiana Pacers. That was an opportunity to understand and set up teammates. He never got that chance in half-seasons with the Lakers (who sent him to Orlando in the Dwight Howard trade) or the Magic, where he was told up front he wouldnt play because of the youth movement.
He never averaged more than 17 minutes with the Lakers or Magic. Yet he left impressions at each of those franchises that paid back. Hams and Nelsons references laid the base for how Clifford would use McRoberts this season.
Its not just that he tries to make teammates better. He makes the environment better, said Ham, now an Atlanta Hawks assistant. I just wanted (Clifford) to know his versatility. Cliff is using him well. I knew thats how it would work out.
Asked about his everybody loves playing with Josh message, Nelson described it this way:
Hes smart. Hes been around a while and he understands the game.
Hes not looking to score a lot, but he is looking to make the offense and the defense work. So whether its passing, running the floor, setting screens he does everything right.

Reduce knee pain and inflammation with these yoga tips
Answers at your feet Chances are your feet have a tendency to roll either inward or outward, Blaine says. Over time that puts stress on the inside or outside of your knee joints, respectively. Find out how your feet roll and then start practicing proper standing in yoga poses and in life. In line at the checkout? That's a perfect place to work on your alignment!
1. Take off your shoes and stand up tall.
2. Look down at your feet. What are your arches doing? Collapsing inward? Rolling outward? Or do they seem balanced with all four corners of your feet-big toes, little toes, and both sides of your heels-pressing evenly into the floor?
3. If they're rolling one direction or the other, practice walking barefoot and resisting your foot's bad habit. With every step press all four corners of your feet evenly into the floor.
4. Remember that feeling and work on it regularly.
Try a balancing act Practicing a yoga balancing pose with your eyes closed is one of the greatest ways to improve your anatomical alignment, Blaine says. It requires you to feel-not see-your body's placement in space. You have to rely on your feet, ankles, and knees to align properly in order to keep you balanced. Plus, yoga poses that require balance, like Tree Pose, strengthen the ligaments and tissues around your knee, which keeps your kneecap in place. Try it now-first with your eyes open, then with them closed.
Tree Pose
1. Stand up tall with your feet together and hands at your chest in prayer position.
2. Shift your weight into your left leg and lift your right foot off the floor. Turn your right knee out to side and place the sole of your right foot on your inner left thigh. Gently press your foot into your leg and your leg into your foot for stability.
3. If you feel stable, extend your arms overhead. Hold for another three to five breaths.
4. Switch sides and repeat.
5. Then switch sides again and repeat with eyes closed.

I was wondering if there is an option/program that you can use, to get rid of ALL the files that you haven't used for 1/2/3/4 months or more?
I'd like to get rid of all the unnecessary/junk files that possibly hung on even after I uninstalled the software etc. Since I don't remember everything I've ever installed I would just like to get rid of everything on my pc that hasn't been used in let's say 2-3 months. I am using Win7 Ultimate. Thanks in advance. (I really hope I was able to communicate my issue correctly as English isn't my first language)
I did do all I can manually, but you see my PC has 60GB on the (C) drive and it's currently using 50. I do have (D) and (E) which both have a terabyte each, but I would still like to get to the bottom of why (C) is so full even after I have cleaned out pretty much everything that isn't essential. I also ran a Disk Cleanup but that didn't help much. This has been bugging for about a year now and damn it, I'm fixing it this time.

Two suggestions:
1) When uninstalling programs you no longer want/need use something like the free version of Revo Uninstaller. After running a program's own uninstall routine, Revo Uninstaller then checks for any left over registry entries and files associated with the program you've removed.
2) Run Ccleaner on a regular basis to remove unnecessary junk, including temporary files etc.

Is it just me, or does it seem like the majority of plants that have fragrance have white flowers?? Now, I'm not saying that ALL the fragrant plants have white flowers, but it seems like A LOT of them do. Jasmines, gardenias, mock orange, cestrum nocturnum, lily of the valley, etc. There are many others, but these are just a few I could think of. |

Interesting observation. I've always noticed that purple Hosta flowers have no scent but the white ones smell SO GOOD! |
I have noticed that too. My husband never liked white flowers, but I always thought they were more fragrant. White Petunia, white lilies white star magnolia etc. other colors are fragrant, but I think the whites are most fragrant. but like you say not all white flowers have a fragrance. This year, I am planting all white fragrant flowers on my patio with a few spashes of color. But I must have my white moonflower. |
- Posted by mattdiclemente z7 New Jersey (My Page) on Fri, Apr 20, 12 at 18:19
Yes, you are right. And this is why they make beautiful moon garden subjects too! The reason so many fragrant flowers are white seems to be that they do not need color to attract their pollinators, who are drawn by the beacon of scent, again often at night. The plants you mention are so fragrant, that I think they can hardly need color to attract human acolytes as well. Best wishes, |
- Posted by olympia_gardener 5 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 20, 12 at 20:14
Interesting. I just read a book talking about that. It is said that if the plant has red, blue , yellow, pink, white , etc, varieties. Most often, white color floer variety one is the fragrant one or the stronger fragrant one. I don't know the science behind it. But that is what the book claims. |
I think it must be an evolution thing, if the strong colors attract insects anyway they don't have to produce a lot of scent; so the white ones maybe have to attract them in a different (=fragrant!) way to survive.. I'm not sure if it's true it just came to me reading your post.. |

Dear Olympia Gardener, I would love to check out the book you mention, if you would be so kind as to share the title with us. Dear Fenius, It may well be. Although Luther Burbank found that all plants had the genetic components necesary for fragrance. He even bred a race of fragrand Dahlias believe it or not. I wish some of these were available today. His intuitive abilities with plants were magical. http://www.semds.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49:experimenting-with-the-responsive-dahlia&catid=35:ancient-history Best wishes, |
Matt ALMOST hit the nail on the head...it's not that night blooming flowers don't NEED colors to attract pollinators, but that white IS the right color! White reflects the light of the moon! White flowers also bounce artificial lighting back better than brightly colored blooms. Many plants are genetically programed to attract the pollinators that are active at night; their nectar becomes sweeter, fragrances stronger, and by their light colors. Moths, of course, are the most typical of the night-time pollinators. Hummingbirds are active in the wee early hours of the morning, too. In some parts of the world, bats are important pollinators; bat pollinated flowers are typically very light colored. Cool, huh? With plants, as with most natural living organisms, form follows function. |

Matt, I was browsing few container gardening books in local library just few days before I saw this forum. It was something new and interesting so I can remember what the book said . I will try to look for the book again next time I am in the library and give you the tile and author. |

Hair: Let The Sun Shine In
Filmmakers Wolfgang Held and Pola Rapaport pay tribute to the revolutionary '60s rock musical Hair. Created during the height of the Vietnam War, Hair was a seminal countercultural touchstone with its celebration of peace, love and psychedelics and on-stage nudity. Archive news clips, interviews with the creators and former cast members — including Melba Moore, Ben Vereen, Keith Carradine, writer James Rado and composer Galt MacDermot — and footage of the original Broadway cast highlight an all-too-brief trip back to the days of flower power.

Building a Retirement Income Portfolio with Low Cost Vanguard Funds
22 comments:
Wade, I know that you're trying to keep it simple here, but with the set of funds in the "Total Market Index Funds" section, what do you think of adding the Vanguard Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) fund (VIPSX) into the mix? For reference, the Vanguard Target Retirement Income fund is 30%/70% stocks/bonds (plus money market), and has 19.7% overall in TIPS.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThanks. I'm a big fan of TIPS and own VIPSX myself. But for retirees, it is getting beyond the scope of this basic overview, but I wonder if TIPS holdings should be in the form of a TIPS ladder rather than a mutual fund. With real yields so low now, there is a possibility of yield increases and capital losses for the TIPS mutual fund, which may come as an unexpected surprise for their owners. Of course, this problem also applies to traditional Treasury bonds as well.
All things being the same though, I do like the idea of TIPS being included with the bond holdings, and in the context of the 6 approaches I described here, the target date funds are the only ones that do this. With any other approach, a separate allocation to TIPS would be needed.
I'm about to retire from civil service and transfer my Thrift Savings Plan (Federal version of a 401K) to individual IRAs. I have an investment strategy planned and a strong preference for Index funds over actively managed funds. I plan to invest in US and foreign stocks, US bonds, some commodities, and a REIT. However, I have been planning to present Vanguard, Fidelity, Charles Schwab, and USAA with my philosophy and see how each compares over the first five years or so. Any hidden fees or expenses should become apparent, as well as how effectively each was able to implement my strategy. Does this sound like a valid approach? Any hidden issues here I should consider?
BobBob, that sounds unnecessarily complicated and costly. For that matter, why get out of the TSP, which charges much less than any of the companies you named?
Choose an asset allocation that fits your need and willingness to take risk, implement it using low-cost index funds, and enjoy retirement. If all of your assets are in tax-advantaged accounts (such as the TSP), there's little reason not to use a single fund-of-funds like a TSP L fund or Vanguard LifeStrategy or Target Retirement fund.RepliesBob and mamster,
Bob, I'm not sure I'm following exactly, are you suggesting that you will divide your assets between those 4 companies and try the same approach with each to see how they compare? That does sound like a lot of extra work for a potentially very small payoff. I have to agree with mamster on this one.
Of the approaches I described, only the managed payout funds include REITS and commodities. If you do like that diversification, and also you do seem to have a more active interest in managing your funds, you might like to just go with a portfolio with 5 funds: US stocks, international stocks, US bonds, REITs, and commodities. Related to above, you might add some TIPS too. That would be like approach (2) I described.
But I think I would just choose one company and stick with it. It becomes too much of a pain to coordinate rebalancing across many companies.

Not available to Canadians,"PITY". Vanguard now has a few Canadian ETF's and it's possible to buy US ETF's simialar to Vanguards mutual funds but its a Roll Your own only approach.Ok when I'm 55, maybe not when I'm 75 but by that time maybe they will have similar Canadian products.
ReplyDelete Wade, Could you please comment on the efficacy of the following?
The two lowest cost option in my portfolio are a S&P 500 index fund (MASRX) and a total-bond-market-like fund (PGBOX.lw) which is what I use in there. I have built my portfolio around these in Roth and taxable. I have used Vanguard Extended Market Idx Adm (VEXAX)in Roth to complement the S&P 500 index fund. Is this necessary? Or can I divert those funds away to other areas of my asset allocation - namely to Vanguard Total Intl Stock Index Admiral (VTIAX) or to Vanguard Total Stock Mkt Idx Adm (VTSAX)?RepliesHi,
I like holding both the total US stock market and also the international market. So I think it sounds like a good idea to complement your SP500 holding with the extended market and/or the total international market. I'm not sure it makes much sense to add the total US market to what you already have, since that will double up your SP500 holdings. Do note that I am not an investment advisor!
Dear Sir:
I understand the rationale for low-cost index funds ... but when I backtest my current portfolio (primarily OAKBX and FPACX)over the last troubling decade my resolve to make the move to Vanguard withers ... I know that these managers may revert to the mean ... but so far they haven't ... I know too that my decade is just "recency bias" ... but still ... can you suggest an argument that will address this?RepliesHi, I hadn't heard of either of those funds, but I had a quick look at Yahoo Finance. it doesn't show their precise allocations, but I see that they include US stocks, international stocks, and bonds. I compared them both with VSMGX, which I thought might have an approximately similar asset allocation. I see that both of your funds have done quite well relatively speaking since the late 1990s. Congratulations sir.
In the future they may end up underperforming, as that tends to happen, but thus far these funds seem to be upholding their end of the bargain to provide you with good returns to justify their fees. If you are happy with them, I don't see a need to change. Index funds don't beat all actively managed funds, just most of them.
Again, these recent questions are moving away from the main theme of my blog, and let me emphasize again that I am not an investment advisor!

I sure wish the Life Strategy funds had an allocation of TIPS to them.

On the 'Dividend and Income' approach, aren't dividends from dividend-producing stocks generally more variable than interest earnings? Is the retiree that replaces bonds with dividend-producing stocks in for a wilder ride than someone who takes the basic stock (total return) and bond mix, or is it safer?
ReplyDeleteRepliesI think you are right. Relying in dividends is less sound. I haven't looked much into this yet, but William Bernstein wrote in his most recent e-book that you could treat about 1/2 of the current dividend income you receive as being safe, as dividends haven't fallen by more than 1/2 before. That sounds like a reasonable starting point.

Hi Wade, We have a substantional sum invested within ISA's with Santander management. We think that they are underperforming compared to other ISA's that we hold. How do I transfer these away from Santander and into e.g. Investec or Schroder
ReplyDelete Very nice and helpful information has been given in this article. I like the way you explain the things. Keep posting. Thanks..Advisory firms in India | Low brokerage

I just came across your website. I'm looking for deeper meaning than the newsy websites that every week just state to invest 15% of your income and they don't get beyond that.
I am wondering how this plan has grown or shrunk in the past two years?

Once a secretive or shameful process in many countries, adoption – particularly the heartwarming gesture of rich people traveling to the ends of the earth for a baby – became iconic in modern culture. The likes of Madonna and Angelina Jolie adopting in Africa injected glamorous publicity as well as drew suspicion and cynicism to the process.
Along with the growth of international adoption came publicized scandal and consequently a chillier new adoption climate, with stricter government controls. It has caused the number of international adoptions to plummet, and left behind – if also protected – many orphans around the globe.
Silvia is one of them, prevented from joining a new family in what is considered the most adoptable period – the infant to toddler years. In the final days of 2007, with the system beset by allegations of baby theft and coercion of birth mothers, Guatemalan lawmakers placed a moratorium on international adoptions. It put in place a new system that
followed the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption, which is an international standard – and it implemented UNICEF-inspired policy dictating that a family within the country, preferably a relative, should be sought before international families.
Today when asked who her mother is, Silvia points to an orphanage caretaker, and says, beaming, "Mama Nico." A slight, pretty girl, Silvia flashes four stubby fingers when asked her age: "Cuatro."

Dacia Duster (2012 - )
Last updated 2 January 2015
Perfectionist purchaser of metallic grey Dacia Duster Laureate found the following patches of corrosion on his 9 month old car and set up: rustyduster.co.uk Offside 'A ' post missing top coat...
With an entry price of £8995 it's easy to have low expectations for the Dacia Duster, but it's a pleaseant surprise. Even in more expensive trim levels it is a good buy on merit of its size and practicality. For the same price as a small hatchback you can get a full-sized family car with an economical diesel engine and the option of all-wheel drive. It's an impressive formula.
It's not without its flaws, of course. It isn't the sharpest car to drive, nor does it pack in the most luxurious materials or the best levels of equipment. But it's honest, unpretentious, solidly built and spacious enough for a family, with a boot that puts some larger cars to shame and enough rear leg and headroom for teenagers.
The basic model might have an almost shockingly low list price but it does without some essentials like a radio and air con. It's only offered in white with black bumpers, which does nothing for its looks so moving up to a mid level Ambiante or the top Laureate is more sensible plus they come with the advantage of a frugal, tractable diesel engine.
Dacia offers all-wheel drive in all trim levels for a premium of around £2000. In reality very few people will need it, but for rural buyers it's a very affordable way to get behind the wheel of a 4x4. It'll cope with light off-road work but it's more at home in low-grip on-road conditions like sleet.
A low purchase price, reasonable running costs and a practical design mean that the Duster can overcome its technological and dynamic shortcomings. It's not going to appeal to everyone, but for buyers seeking something honest and without lofty pretensions there's every reason to consider the Duster.

Rig Count Down in Oklahoma
HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. is down three this week to 1,980.
Houston-based oilfield services company Baker Hughes Incorporated reported Friday that 1,386 rigs were exploring for oil and 588 were looking for gas. Six were listed as miscellaneous.
Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, Texas gained six rigs while California, New Mexico and North Dakota each were up one.
Oklahoma declined by seven rigs; Louisiana and Pennsylvania by two each; Alaska and West Virginia by one apiece.
The rig counts for Arkansas, Colorado and Wyoming were unchanged.

"My music is the Czech baby that Regina Spektor and Freddie Mercury would have had together."
I enjoy writing songs about people and for people. Almost every song I've ever composed is dedicated to someone in particular.
I was born in the Czech Republic, moved to Finland when I was 19 and spent there 10 years.
I also make custom songs to order.
This is unique: anyone can order a song that I will write for them or their loved ones. It can be a song of appreciation, encouragement, a song to commemorate a certain important moment or just a little tune for fun.
My career so far
Mostly you will see me perform solo, rocking it out on the piano, playing a bit of kazoo.
Occasionally I play with different quartet set-ups.
My second album is on its way into the world, due to be released in late autumn this year.
I was able to record this album thanks to a succesfull crowd-sourcing campaign.
So far I've composed 4 custom songs for contributors of this campaign.
During spring and summer I had some gigs in Finland and I did an acoustic quartet tour in the Czech Republic.
Later that year I started working on my second album.
My debut album Doses was released in Germany by ZeitART Music.
I had a lot of gigs in the most bizzarre of places, including a lorry :-)
I toured Finland, Czech Republic, Austria and Slovakia with my acoustic quartet and solo
I got a recording deal and made my first album in Helsinki. I started having more live gigs and performed songs that had been waiting in the drawer for ten years :-)
I toured Finland solo and with the band Jaakko Laitinen & Väärä Raha for whom I also composed.

A friendly FLGS this past weekend hosted a tourney, which i was able to participate in. While i didn't win, 3rd place is A-OK to me, and figured i would post about my experience.
This is from memory, so some things may not be very clear...
My Squad...
Capt. Jonus /w Squad Leader
Gamma Squadron /w Concussion, Proton x 2
Academy Pilot x 2
The logic was to let the Bombers do what they do, while the TIE's ran interference in hopes to action deny and keep the opponent at range until the Alpha could go off.
In every match, i set my ships up in the following formation...
Round 1.
Opponent's Squad:
Capt. Jonus /w ?
3 Gamma Squad Pilots /w a mix of either Proton or Concussion, and Seismic
I gain Initiative (which i didn't want), and set my TIE's up along the left side of the map due to asteroid placement. I place my Gamma's and he sets up directly across from me. I place Jonus in the formation and we begin. Having Initiative hurt me in the initial TL round, with a crit causing me to discard a missile and the remaining bombers on his side focusing down that same ship destroying it before i could get the Torpedo off.
In my volley, i was unable to destroy one of his bombers. Next round, i attempt to fly right past him with K turns hoping to get behind with the bombers while the ties go slow forward to stall his advance. I totally forget about his bombs, and 2 of my ships eat 3 seismic charges.
From here, it goes about as dull as a dogfight with Bombers would be ending with my loss...
some bad dice and real poor movement on my end, and i just couldn't recover from the Alpha.
Round 2.
Opponent's Squad:
Horton /w Proton, Ion
Dutch /w Ion
Prototype x 2
I lose Initiative (yay!), and setup along the right side of the map due to asteroids allowing a nice bank into the middle. He sets up in the middle with A's in front of the Y's.
I move past the asteroid and bank towards the middle. His A's rush headlong towards me and i'm able to TL both A's. My TIE's block his A's advancement, and with some bad rolls on his end my Alpha one-shots one A, and one of the TIE's with Jonus ends the other A through Primary weapon.
His Y's come in and his Proton lands a crit having me discard a missile and land an Ion shot. My TIE's keep the Y's at bay, and with Jonus dishing SL to one of the Gammas, i was able to TL + F and 1-2 punch Horton off the map, and severely injure Dutch with remaining laser fire. From here he conceded the match as my ships have taken minimal damage.
MUCH better flying on my part, and the Alpha was most effective to the point i didn't need Jonus for re-rolls. He agreed he shouldn't have rushed his A's in like he did. Some bad rolls on his end, and some great rolls on my end certainly swayed the balance early on.
Round 3.
Opponent's Squad:
Wedge /w ?
Dutch /w Ion
I set my formation up along the left side, and his 4 ships are spread out evenly along his side. I fly past the first asteroid, and bank towards the middle. A movement error on his part keeps Biggs out of my arc and sticks Wedge on an asteroid, and my initial volley ends Wedge before he is able to get a shot in. He Ion's a bomber, so i keep the other bombers in formation trying to use the TIE's to keep the rest away. He lands a crit on one of my bombers, and i lose a missile. (Yes, i drew discard a secondary as a crit in every match!) From here, i'm able to remove Biggs (because i have to) and he's left with a Y and an A at the cost of one of my bombers (i drew 3 Direct Damage crits). From here, i have his Y on the run and a few turns later i'm able to bring my other bomber around and fire off my last torpedo into Dutch for a range 3 kill (this bomber had 1 hull left).
At this point, Jonus and my TIE's zig-zag around the nimble prototype, but i do eventually get the A into arc and remove it.
I didn't fly bad, but this match would have gone much different if Wedge hadn't landed on top of an asteroid with Biggs in arc on the initial firing exchange. Alpha was about 60%-70% effective ending Wedge then Biggs rather quickly, and stripping the Y's shields. Rolls weren't as good in this one, so Jonus definitely helped in that area.
From here, the TO gathered all of the info and released the results. The guy who went 3-0 was the winner, with second place going to a TIE swarm squad that went 2-1. I ended up with 3rd.
All in all, i was pretty pleased with the squad and look forward to launching more missiles and torps at the Rebels.
Sable, if you are out there, the guy who took first place was running...
OGP /w FCS, Gunner, Engine
Howlrunner /w Swarm Tactics
Academy Pilot x 4

Kristen Cavallari Apologizes For Speidi
There are a few reasons why people tend to hate Kristin Cavallari.
First of all, she's gorgeous. Second, she's a drama queen. But the BIG reason is that she's the one that introduced Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag to each other way back when.
And she's really, really, really sorry. Or so she says.
While talking with Dan Levy, host of The Hills Aftershow on MTV Canada, Kristin said:
"I want to apologize to everybody. I had no idea what it would turn into."
Do you forgive her?
Don't forget to catch all the drama Kristin brings to the table when The Hills premieres next Tuesday night on MTV.

We have a linen closet at the end of our hallway. We plan on using the hallway to display family pictures and small artwork, and we want to use tract lighting to highlight the walls/pictures.
Our house is small, and the hallway is visible from the living/dining area. When people look down the hall (or walk down it to use the bathroom) I don't want them to see a pretty hallway with cool flagstone flooring...and have it end with a typical bifold closet door. To me that is like a *THUD*..LOL. We cannot get rid of the closet (as much as I would LOVE to have a piece of artwork at the end of the hall) because we need all the closet space we can get! I was thinking of doing mirrored doors, but I started a thread recently on this forum about mirrored closet doors, wondering if they were "woefully passe" and most people agreed they are indeed passe( although everyone agreed I should do what I like, which I appreciate). I still think a mirrored door might be my best option, might be a neat illusion at the end of the hall...but if anyone has a different suggestion, I would love to hear it! I just haven't seen too many options for closet doors. |
Follow-Up Postings:
A mirrored door would look lovely at the end of the hallway!! Imagine one of those doors with a grid of small mirror panels -- very elegant! Or find a vintage-style door -- and have a glass panel inserted -- maybe with frosting -- and lettering for the linen closet? Or have a door with a open section at the top -- and add chicken-style wire and pretty fabric behind it? Or have a wonderful door with a trumeau-style (pretty painted picture at the top and then a mirror on the bottom half) with wonderful curvy moldings! Any artwork (a print of course) could be decoupaged onto a door -- inside the panel! Just some thoughts!! Jan |
I think a photo would help-- but I am thinking the mirrored door at the end of a hallway that is displaying photos and artwork would make the space VERY busy. It isnt about it being passe, it is about what and how much it will be reflecting. Perhaps you won't have as much on the walls as I am picturing in my head though. A mirror at the end of a fairly simple and plain wall could make it look longer-- but then the other consideration is that you'd be looking straight on at yourself as you walk down the hall. I am guessing it is a location that can't accomodate pocket doors? I would think the more simple and streamlined the door the better from a visual standpoint. |

I think a mirrored door is a great idea. How about a French door but with mirrors in the panes instead of glass? I have a similar situation in my Mbath and have thought about doing this. I think when people were thinking about mirrored closet doors being passe they were thinking of the double sliding doors covered in large plate mirrors. |

Ok, here is a picture... the hallway is pretty narrow and it still needs paint and the pictures are not up. Due to the narrowness of the hallway, we are only going to put pics on one side (we were thinking of one side of the hall, then skip over to the other, then back to the original wall...just a thought)and I never really considered the mirror at the end of the hallway would add to the "busy-ness"...I don't think it can refelct too much, you can see it is kind of off set, not square at the end of the hall. But maybe it can...I just never really thought of it. I do like the idea of possibly doing french doors with mirrored panes, as teacats and art lover mentioned. No, it will not allow for a pocket door...i wish, cuz I do love pocket doors! thanks for the suggestions thusfar...here is a pic... |

Very nice flooring! Yes -- a full vote for a French door with mirrored panes! :) Create the door first -- and then slowly add the family portraits -- maybe in black-and-white with matching mats and clean-lined frames hung in a grid pattern (similar in look to the mirrored door?) -- just simple ones? Jan |
Rather than a mirror at the end of the hallway, which will visually constrict an already narrow space, why not have pictures on one wall and mirrors on the opposite wall to reflect both the pictures and the light? |
Gorgeous floor! On a recent house tour, I saw a renovated house where a very ordinary small closet was transformed into a built-in. This seems like a perfect opportunity to do something like this. You need the storage space -- great. Maybe smaller twin doors on top, pediment trim, deeper drawers on the bottom? What style is your home? |
I like the idea of a french door...question, I don't have those, but do they all have glass in them? What about putting a glass knob on the door to give it that special touch? I agree that a mirror might make it too busy. Love your floor! |
Love the floor-- and I think you are right, the mirror won't be able to reflect much because of the offset and because the hall is so narrow. |
- Posted by dirtymartini (My Page) on Sun, Aug 9, 09 at 15:05
Thanks for the compliments on the floor. I can't wait to clean it and seal it properly! The floor is also in the dining/living room. In the family room, kitchen and all bedrooms except one, we have a medium tone strand bamboo. sweeby-I do love the idea of a built in. Two issues....1)I really didn't want to see anything "functional" at the end of the hallway. We are really into parties and entertaining and we are all about setting a "mood" and we thought lighting (tract or otherwise) set on dimmers and a mirror at the end of the closet would give a sexy glow to the hallway. 2) we have SO MUCH to do with this house right now, that we have to keep this closet simple for the time being. Maybe one day, we can consider that. But we have major budget restraints, and while my DH can do almost all the work himself, poor guy still works a 6 day week and then comes home and works his butt off. suero-Is that a design fact...about a mirror at the end will constrict the hallway further? I did not know that, but after being on these boards I am realizing there is TONS I don't know. It is very humbling. I would think that the mirrors on one side of the hall might REALLY be busy? or maybe not? teacats-I already have most of the pictures framed, and basically, I just use ANY frame so long as it is BLACK. I have wood, metal, ornate, simple, some that hold multiple pictures, etc. So I see your point and hope that would add to the simplicty of it. Thank you, funkyart and oakley! As far as the style of my house...it is a 1970s ranch and I am trying to stay somewhat true to the 70's vibe. I really like eclectic decor. I love seeing something sleek and modern juxtaposed against someting rough and rustic. Hope that made sense! |
- Posted by artlover13060 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 9, 09 at 15:14
After seeing the picture I am having second thoughts on a mirrored door. It may give the illusion that the hallway goes on forever! I think you need something there to stop you eye from going further. I like Suero's idea of the built-in and also Tea-cats ideas about fancy doors. I agree with you about only putting pictures on one side of the hall. I would create three or more vertical groupings with space between them to de-emphasize the length of the hall. |

Hi justgotabeme! Well, a mural can be sexy. I don't mean it has to be SEXY sexy...like, a mirror you are walking towards is only sexy if you are a supermodel looking at yourself, LOL. I just mean a cool, unique idea. The mural looks pretty...I would maybe wants something more abstract? artlover-LOL..."the infinite hallway". That might go over REALLY well towards the end of the night after some of our parties. And for the 70's vibe I mentioned... What do you think about a group of pictures on one side of the hall...skip a doorway then put another group on the OTHER side of the hall, then a group back on the original (starting) side? With tract lighting going in the direction of the groups of pictures. Or forget the tract lighting, just with normal lighting....or is that (the alternating walls) getting too crazy? Thanks again to everyone for their ideas. I am SO HAPPY I found this site and forum. |

Ha! NOW you're talkin!!!!! |
- Posted by justgotabme (My Page) on Sun, Aug 9, 09 at 16:04
I thought maybe you'd like him ahh that! LOL. I really love your hallway and think either alternating sides of the hallway or on both would work great. I love photography on hallways. In our last home we had it on both sides. The doors worked out to make it pretty much alternating as you want. In our current home I've started adding family photos up the stairway and will continue down both sections of the hallway. |
You could combine the idea of a French door and family photos by placing a photo in each section of the glass door. I think any mirror at the end of a long hallway makes it look even longer. |

Oh my gosh! I love that Suero! At first glance I thought she added windows! It's gorgeous. |
- Posted by dirtymartini (My Page) on Sun, Aug 9, 09 at 21:11
Well, that is too much of a renovation...there are no windows to be added down the hall, there are rooms on either side....and our house is not that "grand." But it sure is nice to dream...thanks for sharing! |
- Posted by bird_lover6 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 9, 09 at 22:12
I think I would just put louvered doors there. Sometimes, we just have to remember that "it is what it is." KWIM? If you have nice photos on the wall, I think that will grab your attention away from the closet, anyway. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Sun, Aug 9, 09 at 22:13
Instead of bifolds, why not use a conventional door, (or pair, I don't know how wide the opening is). Use a flush door, minimal hardware, paint it out the wall color and hang art on the door. You can keep it straight using velcro at the bottom. I am doing a hidden closet that has jambs in drywall, but I am installing an interior jamb/stop with European cabinet hinges (so they are hidden) and am going to hang pictures right over it. |
I was thinking perhaps french door with glass--but use something to obscure the view inside--to make it look like seeded or frosted glass? Just a thought! Your floor is gorgeous! |
A pair of doors with a center opening can be cut to fit the space; simple panelled doors or whatever type of door blends with your current other doors in the house, with pretty glass knobs. With your gallery of photos in place, the accent will be on that and those painted doors at the end of the hall will not stand out as much as anything mirrored would. |
I came across this faux french mirrored door, it's diy ; it's a good visual as far as seeing what a mirrored french door or a pair of them would look like. You seem to be leaning towards something mirrored. |
- Posted by imsoconfused (My Page) on Mon, Aug 10, 09 at 8:03
I had the same idea as palimpsest. Make the door blend in with the wall and then hang your art on it. |
- Posted by newdawn1895 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 10, 09 at 8:59
I know I would totally forget the mirrored door. Go to an Architectural Antique shop and buy a killer dog that would put so much interest in that hallway. I really like your hallway, it's very interesting IMO. And I would go with the black and white phots's, which I love. Then I think your hallway would reak of sex appeal. |
- Posted by newdawn1895 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 10, 09 at 9:01
I meant killer door not dog, gads. |
French door with frosted panes and a florescent light mounted inside the closet near the door to light the panes. Love the flooring! |

This is just another picture but you really don't want french doors. This was on my computer so I thought I would post it. |

First of all, I was going to suggest something very similar to sweeby's. Hallways lend themselves to the idea of a destination. A way to combine function and decor is to follow what sweeby said. But I here you on the "we have so much to do" rant. The problem with hallways, and yours is like mine, they are sometimes narrow and cramped. Cool colors recede, warm colors advance. I would try to find a door color warmer than the wall color in order to "shorten" the hallway. Even a nice very golden-toned wood would be nice. Maybe something with interesting carving to emphasize the "destination" aspect. Or, what about using the normal door the closet comes with and upholstering it in a beautiful accent fabric, and then adding maybe a nice soft swag valance and "tails" hanging above on the header. Could be something soft like a tone-on-tone toile, or it could be something more bolder with a "statement" toward the style of decorating you're choosing. Maybe a soft sage-green bamboo motif. The fabric on the door can sort of "suggest" the function of what's behind it and no one will confuse it with getting lost on the way to the bathroom! I think fabric would soften the space. The stone floor speaks "hard," and then you have a lot of right-angles with the door frames. Looks great, but my eye wants to look for softness. I vote "no" on the mirror. Not in that narrow, bulls-eye of a hallway. And, like I said, I have one. Also, for the pictures on the two walls, I would try to keep their frames in a tone very near the color of the walls. The perspective in that hallway doesn't need bold lines to move you down it; in fact, if you want people to linger I would suggest as little contrast between the frames and the wall color as possible. And, yes, that length of hall lends itself very well to track lighting. I can see that curvy bendable kind meandering down the hall, with spots turned this way and that for illuminating your photos. Good luck! |
- Posted by dirtymartini (My Page) on Mon, Aug 10, 09 at 14:52
ooooh, shezzy-I enjoyed your post, especially the way you eloquently explained your reasoning. I like the idea of fabric (you had me at the "soft fabric vs. hard stone"...as I mentioned before, I love combining contrasting textures) but I cannot really picture what you mean. The closet came with a bifold door...but can I "fabric" that? I don't want anything too ornate, your sage green/bamboo suggestion sounded about right for our style, but I can't really picture that, either. *sob* But I already have a TON of black picture frames! I may have to switch them out over time. We are planning on painting the hall (and LR/DR) a simple off white for now. I am just going to have to see how the black frames look. Thank you for all your help. Newdawn-I lol...I was thinking, "Um, yeah...a killer dog will certainly add INTEREST...to say the least!" I do like palimp's suggestion of something I could hang artwork on...because that is what I really wanted at the end of my hallway. I will have to show DH your description and see if he thinks that is doable. Thank you graywings,imsoconfused and mitch, elle and bird, for brainstorming with me. |

I had a link to some bamboo fabric but THS flagged it as a website they've banned for spamming. So Google "sage green bamboo fabric" and you should see a result listed as "leaf bamboo fabric." This might be something you like. On the bi-fold door you would just cover each panel independently. There are instructions on the 'net on how to upholster walls, perhaps there is one specific to doors, but I don't know how they would be much different. Fabric, batting, staple gun, scissors, coordinating trim to cover material rough edges and staples. Off white walls will be really good for highlighting the warmth of your floor and for keeping the area light. The black frames may work for you - so don't sweat that until they're all in place. They will speak a more "modern" feel so see how you feel about that. Remember, decorating is harder to do all at once in your head. Decide on one element first, and then install it, then go on to the next element and see how it fits with the first one. Your floor is a great element to have started with since it is so dramatic and unique. And if the hardness of the stone makes you feel like you want to counterbalance it with softer elements, look into those. The fabric at the end of the hall may be a good option for softening things up since I doubt you want to cover up that beautiful floor with a runner. I just love that floor. That floor will be a draw on its own. |

Do you need to buy a Disney World book for a first vacation?
There are a ton of books out there about booking a creating a great Disney World vacation. We have been to Disneyland 4 times in the last 3 years, so we are pros when it comes to Disneyland. However, when it comes to Disney World, it is another story. I haven't been since I was in college, and even that trip was for a conference, so it wasn't even a "vacation" - it was more like go visit a park for a few hours after the sessions. This will be our first visit with kids (6 and 3) too, and I think it would be good to go with a plan. Not that we have to follow it to the max, but I have a feeling it is so big and so many choices we could waste a lot of time and feel overwhelmed. Is there a good book that you would recommend or can we get enough info from DIS boards and the Disney World website? Thank you!

Hello experts. In my new home 5"wide x 3/4" Prefinshed Maple wood floors were installed. I went over to see them today and noticed quite a few gaps between boards both on sides and end to end. I realize there will be some change with the seasons but thought they would start out without gaps since it is summer now and the dryness of winter has not hit us here in Iowa. What is the acceptable standard for gaps on the newly installed floors in this season. Is there some coin size that closely approximates this standard that I could use to check them? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
There should be no gaps side to side or end to end on newly installed floors. Could you be mistaking the eased edges for gaps? If they are truly gaps then it was installed improperly. |
It is also possible that the tongue in groove profile was not milled correctly and it may have been impossible to install the product tightly. The face that the gaps are on the edges as well as the ends leads me to suspect poor milling as the cause. If that is so, then the installer should have noticed that when installing the product. Or it has nothing to do with milling. |
Thanks for the replies. I went back over today and looked and I can easily slip a dime into some of the gaps. I will post a picture if I can later. My final walk through is on Tuesday night. Hopefully, they will fix this for me, but now will have to be after I move in. I close on Wednesday and movers coming Thursday morning. |
"There should be no gaps side to side or end to end on newly installed floors. " Only if the wood is measured and known to be above its final moisture content. If the wood is slightly above it will shrink after installation and can be installed with minimal gaps. If the wood is drier it will expand and must be installed with at least some gaps. Without a wood moisture meter to check the floor and the sub-floor there is no real way to tell what is going to happen. You still have some risk with what the final equilibrium moisture level will be. |
I could have bored you to tears with moisture content and such but seeing how you saw the job a few days after being layed, no matter how acclimated the floor was to the room or the moisture content of the wood you should have no gaps anywhere that you could drop a dime into unless as glennsfc said, it was milled incorrectly, and then it was up to the installer to see that. |
If it is brand new, it it installed incorrectly. For the record, inspectors normally will use a credit card for thickness as a gauge. I believe it is a shoddy job by an installer. |
Thanks for all of the expert information. I feel "armed" with knowledge now. The flooring is Century Hardwood/Yardley Maple Collection, 5" , eased edge/eased end. Here is an attempt to share pics. |
Here is a link that might be useful: wood floors
That is a BAD install job! It should be redone. Just wondering if they used a nail gun instead of a floor nailer. The boards would not tighten up without the force of a floor nailer behind them. |
That's what I thought but wanted to be sure I wasn't being too picky. I have the walk through tonight. Suppposed to close tomorrow. My current home is sold. I have to move out Thursday, no choice. Hopefully, they will just agree with me and have it redone after I move in. Are there wood floor "expert inspectors" that I could insist be hired for an unbiased opinion if they don't agree with me? And have that as an amendment at closing. Kate |
You should state an independent flooring inspector...There will be someone who will service your area. may cost 150 bucks for the inspection but that picture makes it an absolute no brainer. It is an installer issue as even if it is a milling problem, the installer should not have installed it. |
The salesperson came to house today and saw the installed wood floor for the first time and thankfully agreed with me. They say they will make it right and will replace what is needed. One more question. Is it any more common to have improperly milled boards ( not straight) with the wider widths, in my case-5", than with narrow boards? |
No! All boards should be milled correctly and by saying that we are not necessarily talking about the "straightness" of the board. Many boards are likely to have a curve in them that gets straightened out during installation with a floor nailer.The milling issues wood be in the planing and routing of the board and would include things like chattering of the surface and tongues and grooves inconsistently cut. There will always be some culled boards but any reputable manufacture will have consistent milling of all size boards |

Culture Warrior: A Reluctant Criticism of 'Mad Men'
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on September 21, 2010 | Comments (10)I really love Mad Men. I talk about it a lot. Since The Wire ended in 2008, and I haven't seen any episodes of Boardwalk Empire yet, then as far as my knowledge takes me it's the best damn show currently on television. Nothing I'm saying here is necessarily new, but Mad Men effectively does a great many things I've never seen television do before in that it 1) delivers is an incredibly entertaining and engaging media object while it uses its protagonists to criticize and reveal the potentially manipulative processes of media itself, 2) interrogates any continuous notion of the ever-interpretationally-oscillating "good old days" by showing how they were neither that good nor that long ago, thereby criticizing our culture's all-too-convenient rotating manufacture of nostalgia, 3) utilizes the past to criticize white male heteronormative hegemony and reveal a systematic culture of sexism, racism, and homophobia, and all the while 4) creates compelling drama as manifested by ambiguous, layered characters with the combination of beautiful cinematography and impeccable production design. Mad Men, in short, is an engrossing, enjoyable, and thought-provoking series in unprecedented ways. But for a show to engage in such a rare criticism of a cultural moment, a bit of negotiation is required. And it is in this respect that some major problems with the show have arisen recently.

Which one is better? I know it's subjective, but does one have the edge over the other? I will be going to the range for the first time on Monday and was wanting you guys to educate me on these 2 pistols. They are within a few dollars of each other, so would you pick one over the other for a first timer? Reliability and accuracy are key. Thanks!

Which ever one feels the best in your hand and the one that you shoot better.

For a first timer I recommend a .22 caliber pistol so you can get all the basics down. Safety and fundamentals etc. then after you have all those down you can look into getting some bigger caliber pistols. Take a safety course or have a friend that has been shooting for awhile teach you what they know. Safety is key
The SR9 is the vastly superior gun in my opinion. It's a really solid gun at a fair price. The P250 isn't so hot and the trigger is worse still. Yes, there are a number of very good reasons why this formerly $650+ model now routinely sells for under $400. And there are a number of reasons why very few fans of classic alloy Sigs own P250s. If you want Sig polymer, advantage goes to the SP2022 by a mile IMO. None of the guns mentioned above would be real high on my personal "want list". But I do believe the SR9 and SP2022 offer extremely reliable performance for $400 or so.
Thank you for answering the question. I have found the same thing based on what I have read in online reviews, but I wanted some real world experience to validate what I have read. Again, thanks!

I have a 250 in 40sw and yes, it has a long trigger but it's easy and smooth. I don't have any problems with it at all. I haven't tried the SR9 but I heard very stuff about them.
