Get some really good pita bread[ours is greek]slather on the pizza sauce,some black olives,meatballs,mozzarella cheese or whatever toppings you like,heat in a preheated oven at 400 for five minutes.
Healthy,quick,ideal size for an adult and tastier than any home pizza I have had. I know no one will see this but its so good had to post anyway-lol. |

And, Pete, add a light sprinkle of oregano. Those pizza sauces are missing the "pizza" taste: oregeno. I've never made it on pita bread, but my son and I buy those packaged pizza dough things and add all our favorite toppings (plus oregano)--much better than any pizza from big name place! I might try your pita idea also. Good to see your post. I was just thinking when I whizzed over here that I wished you'd post more often. And there you were!!!!!! I'll bet you get more responses than you think, Pete. : ) Kate |
tiny drizzle of olive oil less tomato sauce a little goat cheese and some artichoke hearts mnnnn |
Oops,I forgot to mention best to use the good stuff without the pre-cut pocket. |

What a great idea! Keep some pizza sauce on hand and freeze the cheese and pita bread and it could be a good emergency meal. Going to give it a try. |
They all sound good enough to try. |

Or just have some dough in the fridge. We usually have some for exactly that kind of meal - quick pizza type stuff. And of course if you're using olives, you don't buy them in cans! Get real olives that taste good - you may need to pit them first. We just keep them on the side. And now that summer's here, you use tomatoes that you grew rather than some sauce. If you have too many, it's easy to dry them in the oven rather than the sun and you have "oven-dried" tomatoes for your pizza. |
Thanks for the grocery list inspiration! It's fun to get creative with pizza toppings. I admit to a weakness for bbq chicken, smoked gouda, red onions & cilantro. |

For thin crust lovers, wheat Tortillas work for this as well. I spray Pam on foil and place the Tortillas on it and then load up the ingredients. Also low in calories. |

What ever boat that will work where you are now, will work here in the NW. it does mist a lot, but not rain. At 36" a yr in Seattle, that is 10" less than the east coast gets from May 1 to Oct 1! So in reality, it rains more on the right side of the US< than here on the left side in a given yr. BUT< when it comes down there, it rains cats and dogs and kids and................
If you truly prefere to sail, make sure it will do well in light winds, less than 10 knots is not unusual. Todays supposid 30-40 knot winds in the interior are few and far between. Seeing puget sound as a mill pond is more common than 30-40 knot winds. A bimini might be nice for some occasions. A pilot house............wimp!...........then again, I was born on pill hill. If you have to ask, you're not a native! Trawlers are popular around here too. Not too sure you really want a full keel ocean cruiser for around here, you WILL be motoring a lot! A light to medium displacement boat, SA/Disp ratio of at least 18-1 or a bit more ie 20 o 22-1 for the light air days are good! Fin keels work well, as you will be either going upwind, or down wind. No i between. Lots of HP is good, there are a few channels with currents into the teen speed in knots! You will need to learn about currents, tides etc, or you will go backwards in some places!
When you get here, enjoy the area!
In the end, get what serves you best, as you're footing the bill, not me!

What a bunch of phonies!
So few of them ascribe to Constitutional principals, nor practice them in their daily work as legislators.
To them, if not consciously, but subliminally; our founding document is nothing but a "g-damned piece of paper".
These traitors having devolved into nothing a duoplist politburo are now all simply hand-clapping simps marching smartly to the jody calls of their NWO masters.

H&E Equipment Services, Inc. Announces Commencement Of Offering Of Senior Notes
H&E Equipment Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: HEES) (the "Company") today announced that it has commenced an offering through a private placement, subject to market and other conditions, of $480 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the "Notes"). The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by the Company's subsidiaries.
The Company expects to use the proceeds from the offering, together with borrowings under its credit facility, to repurchase or otherwise redeem its outstanding 8 3/ 8% senior notes due 2016, to pay, subject to the approval of the board of directors, a special one-time cash dividend of approximately $246 million in the aggregate (which, based on the Company's shares outstanding as of July 27, 2012 as reported on Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 2, 2012, would equal a dividend of approximately $7.00 per share) to its stockholders of record on a record date to be determined by its board of directors; to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes. Whether the Company declares a special dividend, and, if so, the timing, amount and nature of any such dividend, will be subject to approval by its board of directors. Any such approval will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company's ability both to complete the sale of the Notes and to enter into an amended credit facility on terms acceptable to it; the Company's financial results, cash requirements and financial condition; the Company's ability to pay dividends under applicable state law; and any other factors deemed relevant by the Company's board of directors. If for any reason the Company's board of directors does not approve a special cash dividend in the currently anticipated amount of approximately $246 million, the Company may use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes to fund a special cash dividend of a smaller amount, or it may elect not to declare any special cash dividend.
The notes and related guarantees are being offered in a private placement, solely to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or outside the United States to persons other than "U.S. persons" in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

TAMPA, Fla. — Part of the Red Sox roster picture is coming into focus.
Much remains to be determined.
To hear John Farrell tell it at Steinbrenner Field on Wednesday, Daniel Nava not only has the inside track on an Opening Day roster spot, but he could be the No. 2 hitter in the Red Sox batting order against right-handed pitchers.
With David Ortiz out indefinitely, it appears that Dustin Pedroia will start the season as the No. 3 hitter. Jonny Gomes and Shane Victorino both hit lefties hard, and both are candidates to hit No. 2 against lefties. Neither is a candidate to hit No. 2 against righties.
The switch-hitting Nava has always been a better hitter against righties than against lefties. His ferocious at-bat against Detroit ace Justin Verlander last May was one of the highlights of the season. He posted a .383 on-base percentage against righties last season, 103 points higher than against lefties.
So far this spring, Nava has a .379 on-base percentage in 29 plate appearances against righties. He singled to center against Yankees righty David Robertson on Wednesday.
"You love what Jonny and Shane can do against left-handed pitching," Farrell said. "Jonny had a lot of success in the two-hole last year when he was with Oakland, particularly in the second half of the season. Against a lefty, we've got some options there. Right-handed, that's where Nava's situation comes a little bit more clear. He's swung the bat very well from the left side of the plate. And yet we're not completely settled on what other left-handers will be on the club."
If Nava is on the roster, that takes one possible spot from Jackie Bradley Jr., the most exciting player in camp.
Bradley is hitting .444 with a .545 on-base percentage and has played a sensational defensive center field. With Ortiz out, an argument could be made for shifting Gomes to DH and playing Bradley in left field. But Bradley is a natural center fielder, and he has played only center field and right field so far this spring.
When a reporter asked Farrell on Wednesday whether he might field an outfield with Bradley, Ellsbury and Victorino at some point this spring — an outfield that presumably would push Bradley to left field — the manager responded with an amused smile.
"I wouldn't say we wouldn't put Jackie in left, but I don't see Jackie Bradley as a left fielder," he said.
Reading between the lines, it remains a long shot that Bradley is on the Red Sox roster on Opening Day. His exclusion from the roster seems even more likely when one considered that a mere 11 days in the minor leagues would keep him under team control through 2019 rather than 2018.
But that doesn't mean Bradley can't impress while he's here. He almost made a spectacular defensive play in the second inning Wednesday, scooping a flare to center field on one hop and throwing to second base — almost forcing out the runner coming from first.
Relying on stats
Evaluating players based on spring-training statistics is a dangerous proposition. The competition is usually too inconsistent to mean very much.
Vidal Nuno, the New York pitcher the Red Sox faced on Wednesday, made 20 starts at Double-A Trenton and has never pitched at even the Triple-A level. Whether the hitters battling for roster spots could hit Nuno wasn't going to tell the Red Sox much about whether they can hit major-league pitching.
But with just 10 days left in spring training, decisions have to be come from somewhere — and that means statistics do take on more weight.
"We're going to balance that as best we can with the long-term production they've had," Farrell said, "and then where we see them fitting positionally on the field. We have to put some weight on what they're doing in these final 10 days."
Here's where the key players — several of whom were in Tampa on Wednesday — stand numbers-wise as spring training hits its home stretch: Bradley: .444 batting/.545 on-base/.578 slugging; Mike Carp: .212 batting/.278 on-base/.333 slugging; Nava: .333 batting/.435 on-base/.359 slugging; Lyle Overbay: .250 batting/.359 on-base/.406 slugging; Ryan Sweeney: .250 batting/.333 on-base/.275 slugging
Weak rosters
Boston brought a relatively weak roster to Tampa to face the Yankees, taking advantage of the representation rules that have been relaxed this spring for the World Baseball Classic.
The New York lineup — for a home game — wasn't much better. The decimated Yankees opposed Felix Doubront with Brett Gardner and Kevin Youkilis and not much else. Derek Jeter would have been in the lineup, but he was scratched Tuesday and had MRIs on his ankle sent out for evaluation Wednesday.
Doubront yielded four earned runs on seven hits and a walk in 41/3 innings pitched on Wednesday. He struck out five, including Youkilis twice. All four runs he allowed came in a second inning when he and David Ross — catching Doubront for the first time — were trying to get on the same page.
"I don't think I called a great game, especially in that inning," Ross said. "It got better as we went, obviously — quicker innings. I really think I was a big hindrance in that big inning."
Bradley had two of the four Red Sox hits in a 4-0 loss.
For Sandy Hook
The Yankees and Red Sox announced Wednesday that they will honor the community of Newtown, Conn., and Sandy Hook Elementary School on Opening Day at Yankee Stadium.
Pregame ceremonies will feature an honor guard of Newtown police and firefighters, and the stadium will observe a moment of silence. Both teams will wear a special black ribbon their jerseys, a ribbon that will be painted on the grass in front the dugouts.
"On Opening Day, we will reflect upon more important things and play the game to honor the community of Newtown," Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner said in a statement. "Since the day of the tragedy, our hearts and thoughts have been with those who were affected."
"Months have passed, yet we are still trying to come to grips with this incomprehensible tragedy," Red Sox owner John Henry said in a statement. "As our teams look to face each other on Opening Day, we will stand united in support of the families affected as we remember and honor those who were lost."
Tie for PawSox
Steven Wright pitched four shutout innings and Michael Almanzar hit a solo homer as the Pawtucket Red Sox played to a 1-1 tie with Rochester on Wednesday in Fort Myers. Pawtucket is now 3-3-1 this spring.
Almanzar's homer came in the sixth inning and tied it at 1-1. Almanzar had two of Pawtucket's four hits, while Xander Bogaerts and Bryce Brentz each had a double.
Wright allowed four hits, all singles, walked two and struck out five. Kyle Kaminska gave up the Rochester run but did strike out four in four innings.

My interior designer is telling me that I need to decide quickly whether my ceramic tile backsplash will be mud set or thin set as this apparently has some impact on the electrical work that needs to be done to add outlets to the kitchen. The electrician is coming in two days. What are the pros and cons of the two installation methods? Will the final backsplash have a different appearance depending on the installation method?
Your thoughts are very much appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think this is a good explanation. If Bill is around he'll have a more specific answer for you. I have tiled counters and walls that aren't straight, so it wasn't just a backsplash issue for me. Mine is the cured mud with thinset application version. My glass tile backsplash in my laundry is as well, with an anti-fracture membrane. My floors are on a floated levelling layer of cement goop and anti-fracture membrane. If you have mud and a good tiler, you have a nice, smooth, level continuous surface. Always with tiling, the better the substrate the better the tile job. There are other ways to treat a wall which give perfectly good backsplashes, however. If you have traditionally wet set tiles they'll never ever come out. Ever. The only way to remove them is to break them, though I suppose, if you were patient, you could dig out the grout, then use wires to wiggle in and dig out the mud until you loosened a tile, or something like that. That's also where you'll get a crack in an earthquake because tiles don't bend. With the thin set, you can get cracks along the grout instead of right through the tiles. No one really does wet set anymore, however. Certainly not for a backsplash. I think mud sets may be thicker than "thin" sets, seeing as how those are thin, but that depends on how the wall is prepared. That's my experience, anyway. You'll have to talk to your tile setter to really know what's up. |
Thank you, plllog, for your comments and the link. They helped inform my decision. I never thought there would be so many decisions to make with a kitchen remodel! It has really been an education for me. |
- Posted by bill_vincent (email@example.com) on Sat, Aug 21, 10 at 6:48
The difference is with mud, the wall is built from the studs out with mortar, whereas with thinset, either sheetrock or cement board is attached to the studs, and then in either case, it's the tiled over. The mud job is definitely the stronger installation. It's usually also much flatter, as it's one continuous surface, and doesn't depend o the studs all being perfectly in line. But usually, thinset is adequate in all respects for a tile installation. Alot cheaper, too, being that not very many installers any more know how to float mud walls, and those that do, usually charge a hefty premium. The reason your GC needs to know is that the electrician needs to set his electrical boxes according to how thick the wall will be. With cement board or sheetrock, that's 1/2". With mud, it's usually closer to 3/4-1". |
- Posted by sombreuil_mongrel (My Page) on Sat, Aug 21, 10 at 14:08
The only way I could see doing a mud job in a kitchen on the walls, is if the entire wall surface was to be tiled, floor to ceiling. Some commercial kitchens, with unfitted stainless steel work stations are built like this so the entire room can be steam cleaned as needed. But for a backsplash? Do you want to lose another 1" of counter depth? That's how thick a mud job is going to be. casey |
Oh! Casey pointed out something I'm too used to. My laundry backsplash goes to the ceiling. The wall was very slanty. It's flat now. :) |
Thanks, all. Given that my walls are flat, I've decided to go with the thin set. I have a small kitchen and really don't want to loose that extra inch of counter space. |

About This Project
This locker cabinet was my first build and I learned a ton. For example:
1. Use the Kreg face clamps while drilling into the Kreg Jr.
2. Buy straight wood.
3. Buy wood that is not warped.
4. Do not try to buy wood with grouchy kids in tow.
Are you seeing a theme? Yep, your project will only be as square and perfect as the wood you buy.
I modified the locker plan to include apothecary-style drawers for our cell phones, sunglasses and chapstick. I also drilled through the back of one of the drawers to turn it into a charging station for our cell phones.
The locker has been super useful so far and is such a great way to keep my kids' backpacks and lunchboxes organized. The baskets are designated for my purse, stuff I need to return to stores, the dog's leashes, and library books. It's so nice to have all this stuff near the front door and never wonder where any of it is!

This is just what I need! Our 'launching pad' is a main hallway with stairs and doorways in it. I have something in there now, but it isn't working out. Is there a possibility that you would post some measurements? Thanks!
hillarylouise replied on Permalink
Hey, Amanda. Sure -- I just altered the plan to fit my space and to include the drawers. It took a little figuring out and I threw out the paper when I was done, so I don't have perfect dimensions for you, but here's what I've got: it is 26.75"w x 76"t overall. The drawer spaces are about 5.25"w x 7"t. The top basket space is 13"t and the bottom one is 10.5"t. The lockers are 12.25"w x 36.5"t.
I hope that helps a bit!

hillarylouise replied on Permalink
Hardwood floors
Thanks! Our hardwood floors are birch. I was looking for lots of color variation and found these for about $4.50/ft at Stone Mtn Flooring. Lower grade wood seems to have more variation. There was a lot of waste -- lots of pieces with messed up edges and knots all the way through that our installer wouldn't use, but it turned out great. We've got about 1600 sq feet of it. One thing we've learned, though, is that birch is relatively soft and dents easily. Luckily, with all the color variation, the dents/dings are tough to see!
Birch Hardwood Flooring
True it is Birch is on the soft side, yet the canadian varieties, are a bit better in strength. Personally I love the variations between the dark "softwoods" and the real light "hardwood" part of the tree. And yes the cheaper you go, more of the tree is used, good bad, ugly, shorts...That's what you call Character. Las but not least i absolutely love Red Birch. In a class of its own The grain is so superb, transparent, and see through. A beauty.

In a class of its own The grain is so superb, transparent, and see through. A beauty.

I was curious if the drawers
I was curious if the drawers were premade/purchased or did u make those too. My husband kind of squirmed when i showed him yours vs the plans& thinks thw drawers are too tough. Love him dearly but he has issues with just trusting me when i say its for beginners.. Trust me!:)
hillarylouise replied on Permalink
I'm so sorry...I thought I responded a long time ago but it must not have gone through! Yes, I made the drawers. They were super simple. I just kind of made them up as I went and put them together using the easiest means possible -- glue and nail gun. They are really solid. If you want more info, I can take a photo of them up close and send it to you. I promise, it isn't rocket science! You guys can definitely do it.

I want to see more pics of the drawers. I'd love to build one -- or more! -- of these for my new art studio but I'm a little intimidated by the drawers. Thanks!
Ana has plans for the unit, including the drawers, here: http://ana-white.com/2011/12/plans/hillary039s-locker-cabinet-charging-c...
I just took some close-ups of one drawer. Send me a message with your email address and I'll email them to you if you need more help.

tall interior gate for high jumping dog
Any ideas for making tall gate/doors for a high jumping dog. Have several open "doorways" without molding and odd widths and heights. Have considered bi-fold doors but standard size does not fit odd doorway sizes. At wits end with the dog all over the house. Help please!
Beginner projects
I built furniture and cabinets for a living for many years. The biggest problem one will encounter when using "white wood" (not a real kind of wood) and shelving board from home improvement stores is the random moisture content of individual pieces. Some may have been in the climate controlled store more months and some only a few days. Joining wood with varying levels of moisture is begging for problems! A trick I learned from an old timer is to place your palm on each board and try to buy ones that seem to be the same temperature. His rule of thumb was that the cooler the board was to the touch, the higher the moisture content was. I love the cabinet you built and I hope you are now bitten with the woodworking bug!
white wood
Yep, I've noticed that! It also seems like the weight of the board gives some clue. It's a pain in the butt to work with this stuff, but it gives the piece great character. :)

Wondering the depth measurement on this? I'd be sneaking it behind a front door but itd be parallel to the door when it is opened so a depth measurement is pretty crucial for me. I absolutely love it and the styling.

It's 12" deep. You could go shallower with 1x10s, but I don't think backpacks would fit.

So Impressed
I am beyond words with all of this. My grandfather is a woodworker and has made a multitude of pieces over the years that are amazingly beautiful. I've always wanted to be able to do something myself, and for the first time, I'm inspired to try. I have a set of counters in new home that will work perfect for the laundry basket idea and I can't wait to do it! My new husband thinks I"m crazy, but he is totally going to come home one day next week and find me building away in the garage. Also, I'm buying your book tonight on my kindle. I love your ideas and I'm inspired beyond anything could have imagined. Thank you.

Taking in consideration that this is your first build, it looks great. I'm also thinking about making some custom stairs at my home.

Modification Question
In your modification of the original plan from 3 cubbies to 4, it looks like you extended the height of the divider below the cubbies to come up into the drawer area - thus ensuring the straight connection. Am I correct in this assumption or are my eyes playing tricks on me? In other words, is the divider in the middle of the drawers one piece with the divider below the drawers? Hope that makes sense. Let me know if I need to rephrase my question for clarity.

What the dashcam world needs is this:
I envision a dash cam system that has two modes:
Normal operation is "record to disk" and then you can recover the video later off the disk.
Panic operation is "Dump recorded data to an 'offsite' server over high speed cellular data as well as start streaming current video to same server".
That means you've got your day to day stuff recorded, but in the event you get pulled over by an asshole cop who decided to swipe the memory card out of your dash cam after he pulls you out of your car and tasers you for resisting arrest.
Re:Well, you were dumb enough (92 comments)
That's why phishers either send out very generic messages (from "The Bank") or messages from the big banks (BoA, Chase, etc). The majority of the recipients will say "I don't have a [BoA|Chase|Citi] account" and discard it. Among those who do have an account, most of them will throw away the message as a phish. All it takes is 1 user to fall for it to make the whole effort worthwhile.
I get email from my bank all the time, so I wouldn't immediately disregard it as a fish. However, I *never* click on the link from the email. Open up a new browser tab, directly enter www.mybank.com, and go from there.
Same reason that should you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from a bank (or your specific bank), you call them back on their published customer service number.

Re:Lesson: Licensing costs suck (286 comments)
I virtualized a Windows system a few years ago via Parallels Workstation. Application A ran on the host machine under server 2008. Application B ran on the virtualized machine under server 2008 as well. Application A talked to B and vice versa. *Every* problem with either application was immediately blamed on the virtualization. And a good portion of any other network problem in general was blamed on that one virtualized system. There was one afternoon where the satellite we were using decided to lose lock and go for a spin and before anyone even bothered to look at the spectrum analyzer, they called me and said "There's something wrong with Vipersat, are you sure it isn't that virtualization stuff you're doing?"

I've never understood this either. My sister used to go out on Friday night, come home drunk and promptly throw up all over the place and wake up with a nuclear hangover, swear that she'll never do it again and then go right the fuck back out the following Friday and rinse & repeat.
I *loathe* vomiting. I really don't like the idea of going home with a random skank from a bar and "going to bed at 2am with a 10 and waking up at 10am with a 2".

Re:IP6 addresses are a pain (327 comments)
That's this biggest bullshit excuse I've heard in my life, and I've heard it on multiple occasions both for forward and reverse DNS.
What does vr0-0.internal.notmydomain.com tell you about a device? Not a damn thing.
What does core1-loopback0.internal.notmydomain.com tell you? Jack and shit, other than it *might* be a loopback address.
How about switch1.notmydomain.com? Sure, its a switch. Maybe. It might be an ethernet switch. It might be a remote power unit. It might be an Asterisk based softswitch. Or it might be someone's IPv6 enabled light switch. Again, jack-point-shit. You'd still have to do a portscan of some sort against it to see what it is and if your admin is worth a shit, that won't get you anything either.
And DNS has no safeguards? Built in? Sure, no more or no less than any other protocol, but my DNS servers that serve the internal.domain.com zones are 1) Firewalled off from the outside world. 2) Also told to ignore anything not coming from an address inside my network. Now, if you're sniffing around from inside my network, I've got bigger problems, but problems that I can solve with a pair of wirecutters or a baseball bat.

Wiring a delay between the compressor start and outdoor blower would be trivial and thermostats with even a small amount of smarts delay starting the indoor airhandler a few seconds after the outdoor unit starts. But, no matter how you slice it, a motor just starting up is effectively "Stalled" and draws a crap load of inrush current. There's designs to reduce that a bit, but they're expensive to build.
Re:Are building owners really overheating? (56 comments)
A data room can get hot in a hurry without A/C and if you're running at 65, you get to 95 much less slowly than you do when you're running at 82.
That really depends on the size of your datacenter and your server load. If you've got a huge room with one rack in the middle, you're good to go. If you've got a 10x10 room with 2 or 3 loaded racks and your chiller goes tits up, you're going to be roasting hardware in a few short minutes. Some quick back-of-the-napkin calculations show that a 10x10x8 room with a single rack pulling all the juice it can from a 20 amp circuit will raise the temperature in the room about 10 degrees every 2 minutes. From 82 to 95 is about 3 minutes, from 65 to 95 is about 6.
Re:School is worthless... (309 comments)
That's where social networking (and I don't mean Facebook) come into play. And not just in technical circles either. I attended ITT straight out of high school, mostly because I thought I would need a piece of paper to prove what I knew.
I made friends with the placement director at the school and so she knew who I was when a company came by and asked for qualified people to fill PC tech support spots. She put me on the top of the pile and I got an interview. I passed the HR interview without a problem and then I got to meet with the manager of Network Services. Turns out that he was former business partners with the scoutmaster I worked with when I was assistant scoutmaster at a troop. One quick phone call to said scoutmaster and I was asked if I could start that night.
Out of all the jobs I've had, almost everything else has been 'a friend recommended me' or I had some sort of "in" with the company. One job was a direct call to a staffing company to inquire about a posted position and the other was a one week Asterisk contract that turned into a full time gig when I impressed the hell out of them.
In high school, nothing unless... (632 comments)
You took one of the business classes. Then you got to learn how to be an applications jockey for Wordperfect and PFS: First Publisher. There were some simple computer literacy classes during middle school, but it was a semester of "spend 4 45 minute classes during a week listening to lectures and 1 45 minute class actually punching keys". There was a second semester elective class of "computer programming" in Apple BASIC and there were 4 people in that class.
The heaviest use of computing in the high school was the yearbook and newspaper staff trying to get their feet wet with desktop publishing using Pagemaker and the only reason those got done properly is because I plowed through Pagemaker to learn it and ended up teaching the rest of the staff (and I got made Editor senior year...woo me!).
For time reference, I graduated in 1993.

Recycling the Reagan Era: Remakes and Hollywood's Eternal '80s
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on February 18, 2014 | Be the First To CommentFew years in the history of recent Hollywood have gone by without a sizable pile of '80s remakes. Typically, those remakes are at least somewhat spread out. But this Valentine's Day weekend greeted us with a grand total of three remakes, all bearing (with the exception of a conspicuously absent ellipsis) the titles of their predecessors: RoboCop (original: 1987), About Last Night (original: 1986), and Endless Love (original: 1981). So many '80s clones haven't opened wide the same weekend in two and a half years, when Footloose 2.0 battled the prequel to re-re-make of The Thing. Recycling the '80s is hardly exclusive to cinema. Indie and mainstream pop have been revisiting the era of New Wave and post-punk for years. Sometimes this results in uncanny synergy, like two singles from the past few months referencing the opening sequence of The Hunger. And, of course, in the political sphere the '80s are ever present, as the exponential concentration of wealth to the very rich have forced a public conversation rethinking Reaganism and neoliberal economics. Few films used popular culture as a platform for exploring this political climate quite like RoboCop and About Last Night. So rather than taking to task whether these remakes are "worthy" or "necessary" or not (is any?), I'd rather mine how the subtle differences between these revisitations and their originals betray our complicated relationship to the era of "Just Say No" and "Where's the Beef?". Perhaps we keep recycling the '80s because that decade in particular, invited […]
Rad Romance: If Hollywood Insists on Remaking More Cheesy 80s Love
Features By Samantha Wilson on February 11, 2014 | Be the First To CommentBecause nobody, absolutely nobody, even in this day and age is immune to the dulcet tones of an expertly tuned snyth or a finely-wielded keytar, two of the 1980s cheesiest offerings in the romance department are getting the remake treatment this week. Or three if you consider the stirringly deep enchantment of RoboCop. Endless Love and About Last Night, two films known for their immense subtlety and timeless love stories (Just kidding! It's teen sex and voluminous bangs!), are being brought to the modern age because today's youth needs to know: why is forbidden love so much sweeter when it also has the same name as a Lionel Richie song? and does navigating singlehood get any easier if you add Kevin Hart to the mix?
Adam Sandler Wants to Take Everyone Back to 'Summer School'
In Development By Scott Beggs on April 3, 2012 | Comments (3)For some reason, Paramount has been trying to remake Carl Reiner's Summer School for more than a few years. Amongst the 1980s teenage, sexy, goofy romps, this one is at least in the higher realm of notability. The story of a gym coach who is forced to cancel some sweet summer plans to teach a bunch of dumb kids in an English class, it's now found a willing champion in Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Productions. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that they're going to team with Paramount on the remake. There's nothing more to the story except speculation and whatever Sandler jokes can be mined from it. Of course, there's also the movie nerd subplot to the movie where two of the students are obsessed with Texas Chainsaw Massacre and horror movies. So will the remake feature two students obsessed with found footage horror? With Paranormal Activity? Or will they scrap it all together? These are the questions we all have when there's no real information to go around.

wavecycle, asynchronous granular, FM, waveshaper, and noise),- 2 filters, also in multiple flavors,
- flexible routing and mixdown to stereo output,
- 3 (or is it 6?) LFOs (instrument-wide, per-voice, and multiphase),
- 5 multi-mode envelope generators,
- abundant modulation options,
- and effects (well, Tim Goetze's Versatile plate reverb is all at
the moment, unless you count the DC-blocker anti-effect).WhySynth is a work in progress. Actually, since the kid was born,
progress has slowed to a near-utter standstill, but if I can't

Most men do not like condoms. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is running a contest to change that.
It takes just a peek at the online store Condomania to appreciate the variety of condoms out there.
Flavors like island punch, banana split and bubble gum. Vibrating condom rings with batteries that last up to 20 minutes. Glow-in-the-dark condoms promising "30 minutes of glowing fun."
Under "Celebrity Condoms," there is the "Obama Condoms Stimulus Package," each condom embossed with an image of the president giving two thumbs up.
But even if that presidential seal of approval were real, it would not overcome a chronic and serious public health obstacle: Most men do not like condoms.
Now an influential player in global health, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is getting into the game. The foundation just finished collecting applications for what it calls a Grand Challenge: to develop "a next-generation condom that significantly preserves or enhances pleasure."
The goal is to address two significant problems: unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS. Condoms cheaply and effectively prevent both, but only 5 percent of men worldwide wear them and there are 2.5 million new HIV infections a year. To stem that tide, health experts say, the number of men regularly using condoms needs to double.
"Decreased sexual pleasure is typically the predominant reason for not using them," said Stephen Ward, a program officer for the Gates Foundation. "Can we actually make them more desirable? That's what we're shooting for."
More than 500 applications poured into the Gates contest, which will award winners $100,000 this fall and up to $1 million subsequently. In a first for a Gates challenge, Ward said, people sent samples.
"Boxes of condoms, condom accessories, condom cases that look like something else so women can be very discreet while carrying them," he said. "We received a completely stocked carrying case with condoms, lubricant and breath mints."
Contestants have been advised not to discuss their applications publicly, meaning that the creator of a YouTube video who pitched Gates a condom applied via slingshot is probably not a serious contender.
But condom experts — some of whom have studied the subject for years — have ideas of what might work and what decidedly won't.
"I don't think we've seen the condom that knocks the socks off for everybody," said Ron Frezieres, vice present of research and evaluation at the California Family Health Council, a longtime tester of condoms for industry, government and nonprofit organizations.
"Guys would like it if they, first of all, don't believe they're wearing it," Frezieres continued. "And second of all, it's got to be a little better than what they're used to. We still have to find that perfect bullet."
Perfect may not be the enemy of the good in this case, but it is awfully hard to pin down.
"When I saw that Gates announcement," said Jeff Spieler, a senior technical adviser on population and reproductive health at the U.S. Agency for International Development, "I wrote and said, 'It's great that you're doing this, but I've been there before, and I hope you're going to surface something that I couldn't surface.' "
Constantly in development
Several manufacturers have worked on more appealing condoms. Some models, like Pleasure Plus and Twisted Pleasure, designed by an Indian surgeon, Alla Venkata Krishna Reddy, whom Spieler called the "Leonardo da Vinci of condoms," addressed complaints of tightness and friction. They are roomy, ballooning, "sort of like the swirl of a Dairy Queen ice cream," Spieler said. The movement of extra material is intended to be stimulating.

In response to MrCricket's comment:
first, tell me how your questions are relevant to the thread. then, explain how your questions are not attempts at appealing to authority to make yourself look intellectually superior without actually having to prove it. then, tell me the end game once i do tell you my degrees and from where. will you just simply take my word for it and believe my answer? or will you keep derailing the thread finding new ways to make me prove my answer? finally, why should i believe your answer regarding how many degrees you have, and why should i even care?
Said the guy unable to capitalise any word that should be. You're really embarassing yourself.
unable or unwilling?

Meorah - definitely one way to take the post. The OP did talk about how he doesn't find himself to be great at the game and is trying to get better. I believe his focus on people constantly blaming something/someone else for a loss typically doesn't make the situation better. I have found in some instances a player with not many skills will also complain an awful lot - often times blaming others for their own lackluster performance.
Didn't read through all of this because I expect the replies to be highyl typical so sorry if somone touched on a similar sentiment. If you do something ******ed that costs us the game I am going to tell you. I am not of the persuasion to spare someones feelings or not look like a jackass. At the same time if I contributed largely to a loss myself, I know it. I don't have to say it I know what I did, but if the situation calls for it I openly admit it. People who don't know that they did something wrong will not learn to correct it in the future, so if I don't tell you that you lost the game tower diving with yi all on your lonesome into 3+ stuns and we got counter pushed without our carry up for dps, it can potentially happen to me/some other team again in the future. At the same time I am personally ticking off every single mistake I catch myself doing in my head and trying to correct it down the line but I don't have any need to yell to my team HEY I DID >X< STUPID THING. The difference between this and your magic the gathering anology is the team element, if you play multiple deck games with alliances in place you can blame your teammate for the loss if it was obviously due to his poor deck construction or bad use of interrupts etc etc, as that's how it went down. I probably just rambled on and said the exact same thing in all of these paragraphs but w/e, people will get the picture skimming over. I guess it's just whether you place this blame as criticism or covering for your own faults, but not all players who blame people for things alot(like myself) just do it to make them feel better about the loss.
I agree with Hikaratu. However, I've caught myself crying like a whiny woman over my failed teammates so I don't do it anymore. I suppose learning how to act with class even in frustrating situations is just something you get better at the more times you encounter it. That being said, I will tell you what the hell you did wrong if it's obvious you have no brains. It is within my power to change the outcome of the game if I tell the yi to stop feeding and actually fight in our teamfights instead of getting lizard buff while our last mid tower is getting pushed, I will say so. If I have to shout it to him in a way that he'll take notice, I'll do it. also, I'd like to note that the games that I fed and people weren't jumping down my throat about it, I appreciated it. As long as criticism is done proactively and without venom I think it's alright.
Downtempo - I agree with what you wrote. I want people to tell me what I did wrong, and how to correct it. I think the OP was stating something different. Just messaging everyone that people suck doesn't actually help anything. If I am out of position, tell me! I start my games by telling my team to tell me where they need me, and I try to accommodate. That isn't difficult. Spouting off that I am always in the wrong position without revealing that you know what the right position is just comes across like whining and not team play. As you indicated this is a team game, thus it is in your best interest for your teammate, and you, to do what is needed. If you or your teammates are not open to that then yes, you should play a different game like Halo for instance.
Korath Arcolite
I'm new, and I often play with a friend of mine who is also new. We're both a little of the aggressive side, but learning. I've met a few players who give great hints and I read the forums to see what other people are doing. I ask questions about gear and about hero matchups (who should I lane with/against etc). I'm trying to learn the game as fast as I can so that my team will benefit from me as a player. However this takes time and practice and a lot of people have no patience. I've been reamed out, spammed, belittled and whatnot by my own team a fair bit. I usually reply "go cry moar!" or something to that effect. Whiners lose games just as badly as feeders. They break moral, they lose focus and they don't offer words of wisdom that could turn the tide of battle. I recently had a game where an experienced player saw that my friend and I were mismatched in our respective lanes. He told us to switch, came in and helped pull a couple quick ganks and we were back in the game. We won after a bit of back and forth but only because that player was proactive and helpful instead of a ragefilled and whiny. GLHf everyone! See you in game
Hello korath =P Were you and your friend ashe and sivir and said helpful person was Ryze? If so I was the Ryze that game. Someone warned that you two were new so I was alot more proactive about being helpful. Which is another lesson in itself, if you aren't confident, tell the rest of your team and at worst they'l start raging sooner where they were going to rage anyway. xP
I have no problem being told that I messed up, so long as they tell me HOW I mess up. If someone simply says 'Nitro sucks' and I ask why, what can I do to improve, and they simply respond with 'not suck'. That's just stupid. Especially when they lead the team in deatsh by over twice as much as anyone else. my biggest issue is like, teamfights. At first, i was new so didn't understand how they all worked. Now it's a matter of severe lag when there are oer 6 champs on screen, which means I'm not playing as much until I get a new copmuter. But still, if you're gonna tell someone they suck, tell them waht they did wrong so they can actually improve.
someone always wants to blame something on the loss. The majority of the time its just that your team was outplayed.. That is including you and your preformance. There is a time where 1 persons play can win a game, but it requires everyone on the other team to lose it, not 1 person. If they see you doing something wrong, or you them, you either need to correct it, or compensate for it, and if that can not be done, you get outplayed. If you are outplayed you lose. I get blamed a lot for game loses... and yeah, sometimes I do something stupid and realize it, but more often than not, its my teams fault for doing something stupid as well. Learn from it and try to perfect as much of your game as possible, and try to compensate for mistakes you make, and make less of them as the game goes on. You will win more.
Ah, I interpreted the analogy a bit wrong Morzas, the way you put it is pretty correct yes.

Anyone have any of the DVD's offered at http://www.extinct-attractions-club.com ?
I've often looked at them, and would love to see some of their early EPCOT/WDW footage, but am a bit leery. Any comments on the footage and on their customer service?
I'd really love to see the early Epcot stuff, expecially the Land and Horizons, now that one is gone and the other will re-open as a totally new experience.


text: Well..I'm a lurker. I originally did LAWL in 2001-lost 65 pounds and rejoined in 02, 04, and finally in August of 06- and then again just last month. Overall, I have about 6 Wl weeks left, 6 Stabilization Weeks, and 52 Maintenance weeks, plus bars to get me thorugh to my goal. Today I was informed that PWL will not be moving to telecounseling-although there is a center about 1/2 hour from me. My question for all those of you that are you in a similar boat or could imagine yourself being in a similar boat (I went to LAWL for accountability and weighing in- I work out about 10 hrs/wk-and this is permanent for me- I am READY this time- just can't get food down)- I don't like the bars as much as I did in the beginning- should I just try to get my money back on all this stuff--is it possible to do it on your own? I have graduation goal of 40 lbs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This morning 3.1 Phillip Lim dropped sartorial bombs on the fashion world, presenting some of the coolest menswear we've seen in Paris thus far. Lim's always done a great job of balancing out accessible pieces with fashion-forward fabrications and fits, which makes for a line that regular guys can dig but the Lim acolytes can also go nuts about. We know, you probably aren't gonna wear horse-embroidered sweaters or exaggerated turtlenecks, but still—there's some pretty rad stuff here.
Even if you had no idea who Lim even was 'til he collaborated with Target, it's not too late to see what all the fashionable fuss is about. And if you can't wait 'til next fall to look this good, then we've got you covered. Here are 4 looks you should totally copy from the collection—and paste on yourself.

Toward the end of May Dave Mirra BMX Challenge is pedalling onto PSP, and it's a game that the Mirra man himself has claimed "is the closest thing to reality without the cost of the bumps and bruises". We recently caught up with John Brandwood from the title's developer Left Field Productions to find out more...
How are you tailoring Dave Mirra BMX Challenge on PSP to the platform?
John Brandwood: We're taking advantage of the PSP's incredible power to bring a full PS2-style experience to the handheld market.
However, the platform itself does pose its own challenges. For instance, the PSP's analog controller is a little harder to use precisely than the PS2 DualShock's analog controller. Because of this we've added some features to aid the player in controlling their bike and rider.
The biggest thing we did was include an auto-land feature. This allows the player to rotate the bike freely in the air with minimal risk of crashing because the bike rotation didn't complete on landing. If you look at past BMX games, the most frustrating part is not completing a rotation quick enough to land.
Is the PSP hardware actually allowing you to include anything unique to the version?
John Brandwood: Yes, the ad-hoc multiplayer modes can be quite addicting when playing with your friends. We have five ad-hoc modes ranging from Racing to Trick Attack to more unique modes that include Capture the Crown, Who's the Leader and Biggest Combo.
And what new features are being introduced in this game?
John Brandwood: We've added the concept of trick-based racing to the BMX arena. In this, we've taken a fun race mechanic and encouraged the player to perform BMX tricks to get off the regular pathway and find shortcuts to improve their position. Some of the best shortcuts are really hard to find, and reward the player that takes the time to really explore the levels.
We've also created two separate circuits within each race. This was the first time we've made levels that include two separate circuits. Players do a couple of laps around one circuit, and then the course splits into the second circuit. This makes our levels huge! As with all new features, this presented some challenges. I'm happy to report that all the challenges we encountered while doing the two circuits were overcome and the payoff is that we have some of the biggest levels for any racing game on the PSP.
What's Dave Mirra brought to the table with the PSP version?
John Brandwood: Dave Mirra is at the top of the action-sports world. From a branding standpoint he's more recognizable than many previous US Presidents. Dave is truly on a different level when compared to his competitors.
Did you look at DS for a handheld version of Dave Mirra BMX Challenge? If so, why did you opt for PSP?
John Brandwood: I'm afraid that we never seriously considered the DS as a target for this project. While we're huge Nintendo fans here at Left Field Productions, the DS just isn't a suitable platform for the kind of game that we wanted to make.
Finally, what would you say is Dave Mirra BMX Challenge on PSP's ultimate selling point?
John Brandwood: This is the first BMX game to come out in over 4 years. If you like to do crazy BMX tricks, then we've got them. If you like racing, then we've got that too. If you're the type that must find everything, then we have tons of gaps along with lots of unlockables.

Emmanuel Lewis "Devastated" by Michael Jackson's Death
Former Webster star Emmanuel Lewis, who befriended singer Michael Jackson in the 1980s, has been profoundly impacted by the singer's death on Thursday afternoon.
Attempts by Celebuzz to reach Lewis through his agent, Mike Esterman, have been relayed to Emmanuel. When we contacted Esterman today for follow-up, he noted that he had received a text message from Emmanuel stating that Jackson's death is "very personal and very emotional" to him and he is "sincerely devastated at this time."
Jackson passed away on Thursday afternoon after suffering cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles. An autopsy is currently being conducted.

Downtown residents excited for new grocery store
Rochester, N.Y-- A moderately priced grocery store is moving to downtown Rochester.
Harts Local Grocers, a high-end, full-service grocery store will be opening at 10 Winthrop Street, just off of lower East Avenue.
I think it will be very convenient because not everybody has the necessary transportation to get out to the other chains, Derick White said.
Hes been waiting for a grocery store to up open near his downtown home for years.
White said, Hopefully something big and cheap. With the cost of everything being so high, something that is cost effective,
This will be the first grocery store for the local owner, a new venture for the developer who purchased the 21-thousand square foot building.
President of the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation, Heidi Zimmer-Meyer said, Weve seen a lot of people moving in, a wide range of people and the need now is putting much more pressure in the market place to see some kind of grocery store you can walk to as a downtown resident.
A quick, convenient place to pick up groceries, Zimmer-Meyer said Hart's will fill a big void for the 6,000 people who live downtown. You bet a big void and one that I think has been growing weve been hearing more and more about this everywhere we go and the people we speak to.

Wellness CORE Grain-Free Reduced Fat Formula Dry Dog Food
Best food around!
I started my then 9 yr old heeled on the food and she was looking full and overweight. Definitely showing her age. After being on this food for 3 mths her coat completely shined up, she lost a good amount of weight and is healthier then ever. She is now 13yrs old and the vets can't believe she's this old and always say how amazing she looks. Her coat is amazing, she's bright eye'd, plays like a puppy and great weight!

Great food for dogs with pancreatitis.
My 80 pound lab has had pancreatitis twice, so I'm always looking for high-nutrition, low fat foods. This one meets her needs because it is grain free and lower in fat content. I do mix it with a low fat, high protein organic wet food to boost her protein intake and offset the low fat intake. Since being on this food routine she has been free of pancreatitis, which is almost 2 years now, so it seems to be working well. I'm very pleased, my vet is pleased with her health and progress, and she loves the food. I'll definitely continue to feed her Core Wellness.

I found a winner!! Wellness Core Reduced Fat
I realized I was feeding my Mom's dog "Lucy" a 3 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel a very unhealthy dry dog food (Royal Canin).
My Mom thinks Lucy is a little fat (20 lbs.) which I agree and I walk her everyday. I think 18-18.5 would be a good look for this beautiful little spoiled dog.
I did tons of research on what dry food is the best (Protein, Fat and Carbs) for our dog. Wellness Core and Orijen were by far the best. Orijen does not offer a low fat food so I went with Wellness Core Reduced Fat (no grain)!!! Lucy loves it and she is really healthy!!

Great dog food for Weight Control!
My yellow lab Aspend had to lose approximately 20 pounds and I wanted to give him the best, grain free dog food to do that. He devours it every time and has maintained his weight! He's beautiful and healthy now!

When I started looking for a new dogfood for my dog, all natural ingredients was a must.
Our dog, Duke has had a past history of ear problems and sensitive stomach issues ,so my first step was to research online what holistic remedies there were. And what I came up with was he needed hypo allergenic all natural food. So I got online again and searched for brands and that was when I came across Wellness Core healthy weight formula. I loved not only the list of ingredients, and Duke would too, but the fact that he wouldn't need as much to keep him satisfied and it also would help improve his sheen to his coat and possibly eliminate some of his shedding. Also it supports joint and bone health, as he is 10+ yeats old. We are on our first bag and he absolutely loves it ,his ears have cleared up and we are on our way to am even happier and healthier DUKE. And we want him to be the best he can be as he ages.

Happy Collie
My Collie was born with the worst stomach issues and allergies. I have put him on several different kinds of food in the past 6 years and have finally found the one. Wellness Core has been a life safer for him and me. He used to vomit bile at least once every two weeks even though he was on grain free food and treats, but his food did not contain probiotics. Now that he is on Wellness Core formula there has been no more vomiting, no gas and I don't have to run home at lunch everyday so that he could move his bowels; he is now down to morning and night!!!

If you really need it
I feed a number of small rescue dogs and have always used the regular chicken flavor CORE but I tried the weight mgmt variety for one month. I had several dogs that wouldn't eat it and the others did but not as well as the regular. If your dog really needs the weight mgmt formula, it is a good quality food but don't be surprised if they are not as enthusiastic about it. They know it's diet food.

Great food for diabetic dogs!
I have a blind, diabetic beagle. The Wellness Core Reduced Fat is perfect for her. Diabetic dogs must have a very strict diet, low in fat, and this fits the bill. Plus, she loves it.

The Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board on Thursday ordered closure of the dyeing unit here where four persons died after inhaling toxic gas while cleaning the effluent collection tank on Wednesday evening.
TNPCB District Environmental Engineer (in-charge) M. Malaiyandi told The Hindu that the closure order was served on the unit for its failure to comply with the pollution control norms stipulated by the government as well as the directive of Supreme Court pertaining to pollution caused by the units on water bodies.
"We have also directed the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board to disconnect the power supply to the unit."
The action was taken under the Section 33 A of Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.
Mr. Malaiyandi said the main charge against the unit was that they did not follow the set principles of using mechanical equipment for cleaning as well as removal of sludge from the effluent treatment plants.
Instead, they deployed the workers to clean the effluent collection tank in the plant manually, he pointed out.
The other charge was that the unit was not ensuring zero liquid discharge in its effluent treatment process.
According to him, the death of workers has been caused by them inhaling the hydrogen sulphide formed inside the tank. "The hydrogen sulphide is produced inside such closed tanks after the organic substances in the effluents gets digested by microorganisms due to the absence of air in it," he said.

Am new to this forum, avid gardener living in Lafayette, LA. I recently purchased Lancetilla and Nam Doc Mai mangoes and am looking to repot them in 25 gallon containers(I have a 3 year old avocado tree looking good in the ground). One source suggested a peat moss mix as a growing medium and others coconut husk chips or coir(mixed with compost). Any help or links are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance |
Follow-Up Postings:
I use equal parts pine bark fines, turface, perilite and then I throw in just a little peat to hold a little extra water. Seems to work pretty well. |
Hi Misterrandy, I like Jsvand's mix. I learned the hard way. Much better to have a mix that drains quickly then a mix that takes too much time to drain and then you end up with root rot. Probobly with all the heat you have, it would dry up much faster. Andrew |
- Posted by mango_kush 10b Hollywood, FL (My Page) on Wed, Jul 28, 10 at 12:35
dont use compost in containers, it will turn the soil into muck and contribute to an unhealthy rotting root system container growing is more like hydroponic growing than in ground growing, use a well draining medium and rely on liquid fertilizers |
I use the "Jungle Growth flower and vegetable" mix from lowes. Notice that this is not the "potting mix" version that holds excessive moisture and promotes root fungus. This stuff drains quickly and potted fruit trees love it. FYI make sure that the pot has drain holes that are on the sides and not just on the bottom. If the pot has holes on the bottom only and you place it in an area with excessive moisture such as on top of mulch, or lay it on a flat surface like a concrete patio, or if it gets blocked by containments, the water or the excessive moisture retained in the pot will kill the plant. I learned this valuable lesson the hard way at the expense of loosing 3 mango trees until I realized what was happening. |
