One of the most important tools is the tool box itself. It should be large enough to hold all your tools, and it should have enough compartments to keep things out of reach. It should also have a lock if you have kids so that they cannot access dangerous items without your permission.
Quality should also be a concern when buying a tool box. Good tools are not cheap, so your box should be of good enough quality to protect them for as long as you own them. If money is an issue, buy a good used tool box over a mediocre new one.

My name is Aled and yes, I am a photographer. I have been taking pictures for as long as I remember.
I am based in Bancyfelin, a small village just outside Carmarthen. This is a fantastic central location and ideally located to cover all of south and west wales. I do go a bit further too. With clients based all around the UK and europe and all the sport I cover, it's hard not to.
I work for a range of local and national clients, small and large. I cover both national and local news. I also work with a broad range of companies creating PR images for websites, promotions, annual reports and lots lots more.
I live with my soon to be wife Robyn ( yes I caved in ) and our collection of small children in near harmony. The latest addition to the clan being Baby Brychan who is rapidly becoming a toddler.
Ihave always had an ambition to work in media, even from an early age. Maybe this comes from my great grandfather Arthur J. Lewis being a photographer. He was based in Aberystwyth and took this quite famous ( in Aber at least ) photograph of elephants from a visiting circus bathing in the sea at Aberystwyth. Much of his work is now archived by the national library of Wales for it's cultural and historic importance to the area.I hope one day to have the time to create some sort of personal project based around his work. During the UK storms of 2014 I got the chance to be in Aber to cover the storms, which is something that Arthur Lewis did himself. I will throw some pictures up on here when I get the chance in the meantime please ask me about it and I'll bore you to death about it.
I think that this about me will have to evolve a little over time, so please check back to see the latest news…
Thanks for reading & speak soon.

The revelation comes from a recent survey of UK directors by Oxford-based finance and accountancy recruitment company, Stephen Beagent Associates, which showed that only 2% believed that the Internet poses a serious competitive threat.
This is despite the fact that one in 10 UK households now shop online, which is predicted to rise to 43 million households across Europe by 2003.
Stephen Beagent said: 'Finance personnel should rise to the challenge that e-commerce poses. We are seeing an increase in demand for dynamic qualified personnel from Internet-based start-up companies who are looking to grow dramatically over the next two or three years.'

If budgeting is to have any value at all, it needs a radical overhaul. In today's dynamic marketplace, budgeting can no longer serve as a company's only management system; it must integrate with and support dedicated strategy management systems, process improvement systems, and the like. In this paper, Professor Peter Horvath and Dr Ralf Sauter present what's wrong with the current approach to budgeting and how to fix it.
In this white paper CCH provide checklists to help accountants and finance professionals both in practice and in business examine these issues and make plans. Also includes a case study of a large commercial organisation working through the first year of mandatory iXBRL filing.

Brazilian GP is remembered for many lasts. The last win for Jordan F1 team (Fisichella in 2003), the last win so far for Williams (Montoya in 2004), the last F1 win for Montoya himself (in 2005 with McLaren), the last Formula 1 race for Michael Schumacher (2006) and actually also for his brother Ralf in 2007 (but who remembers him now ).
At the moment there is only one driver who will officially enter the 2008 Brazilian GP as his final race – David Coulthard. Coulthard announced his retirement back in July during the British GP. He is to remain working with Red Bull and is said to travel to all the races next year. He has also been linked with BBC job following the BBC's F1 broadcasting deal starting from 2009 season.
It still remains to be seen if we will see drivers like Barrichello, Bourdais or Piquet on the F1 grid again. Brazilan GP may well be their last too …
Many fans may miss Coulthard after his retirement but few will miss the other thing that is to disappear from F1 after Brazilian GP . The 2008 Brazilian GP will be the last Formula 1 race for the grooved tyres (more on grooves in F1 here). The eyesore will be gone, let's hope for good !
The drastic changes in regulations from 2009 will bring completely new car designs. We can only speculate now, how the 2009 cars may look. But one thing is almost certain – all the ugly attachments, winglets, horns, thorns will be gone. It does not however mean that the 2009 cars will as a package look better than the ones we see now. So if you liked them, enjoy them for the last time in Brazil.
More on 2009 cars:

How will the 2009 F1 cars look like ? Looks like I had a sneak peek…

WHITE CITY, Ore. — A White City warehouse is deserted after two-dozen employees are unexpectedly laid off.
Ferry-Morse, based out of Kentucky, opened its White City distribution center in summer of 2009. One worker there said during the busy season, the 100,000-square foot warehouse was stacked to the ceiling and trucks were pulling in and out shipping all the way from Montana to New Mexico; but on Friday, it closed up for good.
One employee who was laid off, spoke anonymously, and said for about 2 months, there were rumors buzzing around about something major happening on Friday, May 18th. On that day, at 10 a.m., every employee was told they were being terminated immediately.
Between the White City plant, and Ferry-Morse's other distribution center, in Kentucky, 199 employees are being laid off, half of them immediately and the other half by the end of the year. Business officials say there was major turnover in the company's management earlier this year. Then, Ferry-Morse was sold to a company called "Seed Holdings", that sale was finalized on Friday and the layoffs followed immediately.
SOREDI helped recruit Ferry-Morse to Southern Oregon three years ago, where the company ultimately chose White City over 15 other locations. The employee whom Bryan Navarro talked with said it was disappointing to get laid off, but he feels confident he'll be able to find another job with his training and skills.

- Category: Graphic Novel Reviews
- CREDITS: by Brandon Hanvey
- PUBLISHER: Self-published; $9 US
This is like My First Graphic Novel, simple, direct, and basic. Riley's a prep, Petra's arty, they meet at a party and try to date in the face of culture clashes among friends and parents.
The presentation is incredibly straightforward, which would make this a good choice for the younger audience. (The older will have seen it all before.) Panels are nothing fancy, talking faces for the most part, and the dialogue is flatly written to be clear exactly what's going on. I find the writer's resistance to contractions a bit odd. I think the text would be greatly improved if he read it out loud to check for sounding natural before putting it on the page.
It's almost as though a computer put this together, but I think it's just that the creator hasn't found his unique voice yet and needs to have more confidence. Don't get me wrong, I liked the story and characters, but there's no feeling of heart whatsoever in this material. It feels very mechanical, going through the motions.
I've reviewed his previous comics, which I enjoyed more. More characters meant more to work with and more to interest the reader. Find out more at Hanvey's website. (A complimentary copy for this review was provided by the author.)

Don't get me wrong, I liked the story and characters, but there's no feeling of heart whatsoever in this material. It feels very mechanical, going through the motions."
I've read this paragraph a couple of times, Johanna. My reviewer brain is long-retired (and was never as strong as yours, I'll fully concede), but how can you like the story and characters, but preface that with "it's like a computer put this together".
I wouldn't quibble with you on this review, but at points I thought you were thoroughly panning the book, but then it seems like you were trying to toss the creator a bone with "I liked the story…"
Not to review the reviewer, but I'm partially looking for clarification. In all seriousness, I understand that the book was not to your taste (partially due to stilted dialogue and lifeless pacing [sounds like could use an editor, honestly]), but I was curious if you still might recommend it to the "younger audience".
- Johanna Says:
December 15, 2007 at 8:15 AMI appreciate feedback — because if something's not making sense, perhaps I could have expressed it better or elaborated more. And how am I going to improve without it?
Anyway, to this particular question… haven't you ever enjoyed something all the while you knew it was pure formula? There are a number of romantic comedies I feel that way about, for instance. They're clearly built by demographic and nothing but an urge to make money (forget art or expressing something the creator feels strongly about), but in the right mood, they still hook me and reel me in.
I did feel like I was being a bit too negative here, because I believe the intentions were good, if perhaps naive, and I did want to try and not be quite so harsh. I see that that part, at least, was conveyed clearly. :)

8 Pro Gay Companies For A Socially Accepting Portfolio
The US Supreme Court met this week to hear arguments against the Defense of Marriage Act or DOMA, which limits the definition of marriage to explicitly exclude same-sex couples. The Supreme Court signaled in the first day of hearings that it was unlikely to issue a sweeping ruling that would declare same-sex marriage a constitutional right, but the proceedings are heating up the topic of equality for all without regard to sexual orientation. In a gesture of support, many people are publicizing their stance on gay marriage (you probably noticed the red equal-signs on Facebook recently).
Companies are getting in on the action too. Last week at Starbucks' annual meeting, CEO, Howard Schultz, told shareholders to sell their stock and invest elsewhere if they had any issue with the company's stance on marriage equality. When asked about disappointing first-quarter performance following a company boycott by the National Organization for Marriage, Schultz responded "If you feel, respectfully, that you can get a higher return than the 38 percent you got last year, it's a free country. You can sell your shares of Starbucks and buy shares in another company. Thank you very much."
So far 278 employers, from Zynga to JetBlue have signed on to oppose the Defense of Marriage Act. Employers argue the act is not only in bad taste, but that equal marriage rights are good for business, especially from an administrative standpoint.
Business Section: Investing Ideas
Many investors have been known to avoid stocks that trade weapons, cigarettes or prisons due to moral positions, but that universe has widened to consider more ESG (environmental and social governance) concerns. This is especially true for younger investors who are paving the way for the future of trading.
More than ever investors want to see their money going towards socially responsible companies that reflect their values as a way to support causes through stock trading. This ranges from supporting gay rights to erecting solar panels on the firm's properties or funding cancer research.
Understandably, companies must be very careful where they land on hot-button issues as not to deter certain customers, or in order to attract new crowds.
With that in mind we list here 8 publicly traded companies pulled from Queeried list of Pro Gay Companies. Queeried writes that these "companies have all shown their support for equal rights for all via political activism, fund-raising and equal rights and benefits for same sex partners of their employees."
Here they are, with the summarized comments from the original post. Use Kapitall's tools to help analyze these firms and decide if these pro-gay companies have a place in your portfolio.
1. American Apparel, Inc. ( APP): Engages in the manufacture, distribution, and retail of fashion basic apparel for women, men, children, and babies. Market cap at $255.01M, most recent closing price at $2.37.
This LA-based company not only supported the repeal of Proposition 8, but also produced a Legalize Gay T-shirt in 2008 for protestors. Thousands of requests for the tee prompted American Apparel to make it available in stores and online, and today they have an entire line of clothing for the cause.

There is a wide range of best man toast ideas from which to pull in order to create an excellent wedding speech. You will find a myriad of suggestions online, in magazines, and even from talking with friends who have been in the same position. Men who have stood up at weddings in the past are more than willing to share their successful best man toast ideas.
The first place to look for best man toast ideas is in your own arsenal of memories and experiences. As the best man, you likely have a long standing relationship with the groom, as his family member or a close friend. This friendship will offer you the anecdotes, jokes, and allusions that will make your best man speech a success.
Once you have identified the best stories and a few jokes and one-liners you would like to use, it is time to look for best man toast ideas about what structure and order to use to deliver the best possible speech. As you seek various thoughts and ideas, be sure to organize them in a way that makes sense and to use a format that you are comfortable with. Whatever best man toast ideas you use, you will have to stand in front of all of the wedding guests and deliver the speech.
If you are hoping to write and deliver a unique best man speech, there are a few tried and true best man toast ideas that you may find helpful.
• Stick with what you know. Talk about those things that you know about the groom and those experiences the two of you have shared. These anecdotes will ring true for your audience and you will hold their attention.
• Keep your stories and jokes simple and short. Practice them at home, and leave out any story that cannot be told in three minutes. The guests look forward to the wedding speech and the best man toast, but they do not want to have to work at keeping up with your rhetoric.
• Poke fun at the groom, but keep things positive and avoid stories of drunken nights or other women. It is also best to avoid the topic of the bachelor party. Good best man toast ideas allow you to walk the line between respectful and inane.
• Use props. Have a picture of you and the groom blown up to poster size that represents the focal story of your speech, or bring a mix tape as background music for your wedding toast. The most effective best man toast ideas are sometimes also the most creative.
Your most effective best man toast ideas will be the ones that apply to the newlywed couple. If they are sports lovers, incorporate sports metaphors into your speech; if they love to travel, use this as a basis for your toast. The wedding guests will spot the parallels quickly and will enjoy the clever way you pull together their passions with your speech.
Always seek out those suggestions that will result in the most entertaining and ultimately heart felt best man toast ideas for you to give to your dear friends. They have asked you to be best man for a reason, and your gift to them will be putting your best best man toast ideas to good use.

Questions & Answers
Thank you houseofcc for the question about the Carlton Chocolate Herringbone Tablecloth. The table cloth itself is just a polyester piece of cloth with no backing or top. It is a woven herringbone patter constructed to repel spills and stains. It is basically built in construction. We hope this helps you today and thank you for shopping Overstock.com.
No...it is an elegant tablecloth
Is this a tablecloth you can wipe off. Lamented?
You can wipe thing off this table cloth easily but this is not laminated.
under the size options there are only inches, not table shape. Can you please tell me which option is best for an OVAL table that seats 6-8 people? Thank you.

The modern coffee table comes with plenty of extras, so choose carefully.

At IBM, older workers who believe they were fired because of their age may have a harder time proving their claim under a new company policy, Bloomberg News reports. The New York-based tech company is no longer providing fired workers over age 40 with the ages and job titles of other older workers dismissed in a group layoff, the report said. That disclosure is important because it helps fired employees assess whether IBM has potentially demonstrated a pattern of age discrimination …

What we learned in week #5.
The Patriots are the class of the AFC.
They continue to get not only YOUNGER but BETTER. There is no organization in the NFL that even comes close to rivaling the New England Patriots. Ring # 5 incoming. Watching the Patriots on a weekly basis, I have seen my share of no huddle offenses. Playing Manning once or twice a season all through out the 2000s, I have seen my share of no huddle offenses. Never have I see a no huddle offense work at such a high speed as I witnessed last night. Many foolishly chose the Denver Broncos to represent the AFC this season in the Superbowl. New England completely humiliated them. New England completely out classed them. At no point was the game even in question, with 200 of Manning's yards coming after he was down 31-7 in what was essentially garbage time. Denver had no idea what was happening to them. Brady was snapping the ball so quickly the Broncos couldn't even line up properly. On numerous occasions they were caught with too many men on the field. Complete Bronco confusement ensued. When asked if it was even possible to go any faster, Gronk replied that it probably wasn't, because the "officials were slowing them down." This high tempo offense complimented by a deadly, very high caliber running attack will be impossible for anyone to stop. And all this with about 8 of our very key players out on injury. A complete one sided, decisive, dominant OUT CLASSING of the team many picked to go to the SB, lead by a Hall of Fame quarterback who had nothing for us. AFC Teams fighting for a post season position are really only fighting for a chance to be humiliated by the New England offense which is the most dynamic and balanced it has ever before been. Lights out for the AFC. They're be nothing to stop us this time. Hell, with this running attack, i'll even welcome the Giants to the Superbowl. Get some. The NFL has no answer. |

[QUOTE=NEPatriots;1035776]The Patriots are the class of the AFC.
They continue to get not only YOUNGER but BETTER. There is no organization in the NFL that even comes close to rivaling the New England Patriots. Ring # 5 incoming. Ring 5 came around here a long time ago. Brady is getting younger? No denying the Patsies have had a good run but to come on a Steelers board and gloat no organization is close is just plain obtuse. The organization you are forgetting is right in front of you. Patsies are big in Mass, and all the other itsy bitsy teenie weenie states up in the Northeast who can't field there own team like maybe Delaware and Rhode Island. Steelers are big everywhere, not to mention Steelers have more SB's. You need to step outside your bubble. |
Re: What we learned in week #5.
Six rings, eh? What's that sound? |
Re: What we learned in week #5.
you won't let go of that "classy" thing.
Eli "Eeyore" Manning is a better qb than Brady. |
Re: What we learned in week #5.
Re: What we learned in week #5.
Steelers fans:
I know you. You stand tall. You put on a defiant face. You show your Steeler pride. ...but deep down, you know as well as I do, you don't want any piece of the Patriots in the play offs. You know New England is a dead end for you. A decisive one. This is the most dangerous offense we have ever fielded. That includes 2007. |
Re: What we learned in week #5.
Re: What we learned in week #5.
Oh, I'm sorry, are the Giants your favorite team now or have you just fallen so far you need to leech on their victories?
Last year our defense was atrocious and we had no running game and no sideline receiver. Now we have one of the best front 7's in the league, one of the best running attacks in the league, and all the weapons that brought us to the dance in '11. |
Re: What we learned in week #5.
10 years from now all people are going to know about Tom Brady is that he got beat two times by Eli at the big game. Nothing else will matter.
Re: What we learned in week #5.
i will admit the patriots have been blessed with a very favorable schedule. playing in the nfc east, they have the division crown locked up week 1, as soon as they step on the filed.
weve all seen how they crumble when they have to play a team like the ravens. despite the easy schedule, the chickens will come home to roost and odds say they will eventually have to deal with some injuries of their own, just like every other team has. there are stilll plenty of teams in the AFC capable of punching tom brady in the mouth, and several offenses the pats defense will struggle with. sure the patriots look great on paper offensively going for it on 4th down in "garbage time". no other team does that though. |

So you're a copywriter/coach/web designer/yoga teacher/financial advisor/artist/insert-specialty-here and you run your own business. You're an expert in your field, and for the most part, you've got the basic tools you need to run your business. But it's tough work and you don't always have the resources you need at your fingertips.
Sometimes (perhaps often) you feel alone.
Entrepreneurship is a labour of love and if you've seen my Reboot Tips, you know I am a big proponent of cutting out the bullshit, and surrounding yourself with people who "get" you, as well as people who are ahead of you in the game. It's crucial to your success that you have an objective & savvy community that is going to push you when you need it and celebrate your successes when you deserve it. Your momma and your honey ain't gonna cut it.
At least, not if you want to get growing already…and FAST.
Enter Marie Forleo's Rich Happy and Hot B-school. Now you've probably been hearing a lot about this lately, because her program is in full-tilt launch mode.
But I'm not going to talk about her program or the content. It's darn good…her videos speak for themselves. She sells her own program.
Oh no, I want to tell you about something different.
I'm going to tell you where B-school's real long term value lives.
It lives in the knock-down drag-out PHENOMENAL community (<—missing link alert!) that has been created by B-school students and grads. The private Facebook group is hands down the
element in my business growth in the past 18 months.
I went from living in a house I could no longer afford in cold-ass Toronto, having no money and only two clients, to having a thriving coaching practice, running International Adventure Reboot Retreats, and living in a penthouse two blocks from the ocean in beautiful Peru in less than a year.
Yes, Marie's B-school content is the best out there and helped set my business up for success. And yes I worked my butt off to get where I am. But the B-school community is the key to my success, and the success of many others.
Ok Heather, by why is it so awesome?
First off, because everyone is freaking amazingly GENUINELY nice, smart, and positive. Here are three comments made on the group page from the past two days:
"I JUST got accepted in this group early this AM + HOLY shiz balls y'all are the warmest community I've ever seen! I've been in a ton and WOW gratitude for you all." ~ New B-schooler
"Thank you all for your support – I have never felt so much love and light as I have today. [ ] This is TRULY an amazing group of women, and I'm blessed to be a part of it." ~ proud B-schooler

Related article: Date: Sat, 5 Oct 2002 11:48:21 +0100 (GMT Daylight Time) From: David Grimstone Subject: After Dark 3After Dark by DCG############### DISCLAIMER ###############The usual disclaimer applies as per usual. I don't mean to imply anything about NSync or anything they do or think. But *my* character Chris, who is based around a real person is, yes you've guessed it, completely and utterly gay and THAT I DO want to imply!!Also, I am mentioning music that people have had the inspiration to write and compose and perform and I want to impart that the piece used here is Virgin (c) music and EMI (c) music, and theirs and Pedo Preteen the artists alone...Also, kids, bugger off cause your too young, and the same goes for those who don't like this stuff...All that being said...............Authors Notes: Hey there folks...Here is chapter 3 of AD and I hope things are going ok for everyone out there and that the story is to everyone's liking...Now the question is whether or not Chris and Joey are ok and where *my* Chris is...?? All question and new questions will be answered very soon...but now lets see what happens when the dust settles on that snow covered morning...Suggested Reads: Chapters 100+ of JC's Hitchhiker deserves the read of the day just because he has reached the pinnacle that is triple figure chapters...well done writerboy69 and keep up the good work...Important Note: Nobodies reading this I'm sure, but ha-ho... I have come to realisation that music is a pivotal part of my writing. It influences me immensely and guides my storylines without effort. I listen to a fast paced piece of rock music and the pace of the story increases, and the sentences shorten, and the action becomes slicker. I listen to a piece of background music, or classical music, or soundtrack music for that matter, and it goes the opposite way...and everything slows down and I put more thought into the scene in general, and the thoughts of the characters take a more prominent role...With this in mind, I have decided to attach a piece of music to each chapter, as sort of a theme for it. It will be the piece of music that influenced me the most in my writing, and was more than likely the piece of music I was listening when i wrote it...Some pieces may surprise you, or they may not!! Oh, and if someone else has already done this in their work and feels I have stolen their idea without asking, then please let me know and I'll stop...Enough of me and on with the show...*****************************************************************************Last time in After Dark...Moments later it was all over and all that could be heard was the distant sound of sparks dancing over the car remains almost as if in celebration. Smoke covered the vehicles entirety and Joey and Chris remained unmoved on the ice covered floor...And now, the continuing story...*****************************************************************************After Dark by DCGChapter 3 - Fading Signal...Music: Any Other Name by Newman (from the American Beauty Soundtrack)JC appeared at the ajar chalet door seconds later, music playing through his earphones, and a piece of toast in his hands...The piece of burnt bread was an after thought as it dropped to the floor and JC skipped down the three steps to wooden walkway that took him away from the chalet.JC effortlessly hurdled the guard rail that surrounded the descent to the driveway. His quick movement led him across the icy driveway, forever intent on reaching Joey and Chris...The grip he had maintained on his CD played flinched for a second as he clipped the fence edging the chalet grounds. It dropped effortlessly to the ground, shattering on impact. JC didn't look back to acknowledge it.Across the road, in the now shallower snow, Joey opened his eyes for the first time. He blinked away a pain that throbbed beneath his temple. He shied his gaze away from the bright sunlight as he looked upwards...He then looked to his side, to Chris. But he didn't see movement, his eyes were closed, and his breathing looked shallow... A bite of fear crept up Joey's spine as he contemplated the possibility... 'Is he....' he thought, but he couldn't finish as the overwhelming urge to go to his beat friend overcame him. He tried to move across, almost shimmy to his best friend, to the silent Chris, but he couldn't... The slight throbbing pain in his head returned with a vengeance, and it stopped him in his tracks.JC reached their sides seconds later, breathing heavy, and visibly concerned. He looked straight to an audibly pain ridden Joey as he tried to think of what to do..."Stay still Joe...Stay right there...(pause) (hands on head) What the fuck!" he exclaimed, hands still an his head, as he then knelt down to check on Chris, who was still unconscious."What the fuck happened?" shouted an almost always calm Lance as he appeared from behind JC's leant form. His face showed nothing but complete and utter confusion. He didn't know what happened here, or what caused it, but all he did know was when he looked out through the front door, what he saw, he didn't like. His normally business like manner then kicked in and took control..."Jace...give me your phone..." ordered Lance as he looked down to Joey, and Chris, the pair of them helpless on the floor. JC quickly retrieved his phone and handed it to Lance. Lance didn't wait a second longer as he flipped it open and dialed the three telltale digits, 9.1.1.JC knelt down on one knee and reached eye level with a Pedo Preteen now sitting Joey. he placed his hand on his shoulder, a look of complete sincerity and concern mapped his features and Joey looked up..."You ok Joe?" asked JC"I'll be ok once I get my ass out of the snow." coughed Joey as he turned and looked down at a now murmuring Chris. They both stared down to watch Chris open his eyes to the world and look straight up to see the concerned looks of two of his best friends. He didn't speak right away, but paused. Seconds later Justin arrived at their side, his dressing gown half 'dressing' him as one side laid arm free down his side."What the hell happened here?..." spouted Justin as he edged his way past Lance and towards a still silent JC and Joey as they watched Chris' glazed eyes return to some normality."Oh shit...are you ok Chris?" continued Justin as he the enormity of what just happened began to dawn on him. He looked down at the still active car in the distance, and then back to a slightly bloody and concussed Chris, and it cleared up immediately..."I feel tired." whispered Chris as he blinked his eyes clear for the final timeIn the background, on the drive to the chalet, Britney stood in awe of the scene. To her it was something out of a movie. It was surreal, and un-nerving at the same time. She didn't utter a word as she looked at the car down the road. The smoke still registered in her nose, and the heat still emanated from there... It mesmerized her. She started to walk along the edge of the road...not towards the injured friends...not back to the chalet...but to the car.Back across the street, where no-one attentions had turned to the wandering Britney, Lance still hadn't been able to get a signal. He knew it was a possibility that the bad weather of late, and their remote location would count against them, and right now it was, big time. He had stood for over a minute with the small phone glued to his ear, listening to the fading sound of a signal as it disappeared along with any hopes of help. One by one, as Lance's frown began to appear on his face, the attentions of all his friends turned to him."Nothing." said Lance as he calmly pulled the phone from his ear and clasped it shut. Justin reacted as he always did, and kicked the silent snow before uttering a few profanities under his breath. JC just took the phone back quietly, looked at it before placing it back in his pocket and reaching down to help Joey to his feet. Joey didn't say anything at all as the silence extended across the scene. He just accepted JC's offer of help and raised himself to his feet. He paused for a second as he straightened his back after a shot of pain echoed through his head, but he waved JC's attention away a second later as it disappeared. Lance also reached down, but to help Chris up. He was decidedly more awake now that he was a few minutes before, and he seemed to have his wits about him. It took a second or two, but they stood alongside each other and then began to make their way inside, Justin leading the way.The sparks continued to exude life as they danced their merry way across the charred and lifeless hulk that was the car. Britney was now just a few yards away from the vehicle. Debris littered the road, from a hubcap to a shattered side mirror. She could now literally feel the heat emanating from the site. At first she wondered what could have caused this, accident. Then she began to wonder if it had been an accident at all. Then the trigger thought ran in front of her eyes.. 'Whose car is this?'"Brit...don't go near there..." shouted Justin from the chalet as he turned to see her stood just a mere few feet away from the car...Britney turned her head and acknowledged his plea, and turned to leave...As she turned around on her way back inside, and as she lifted her head level, and as she scuffed her feet through the trailing snow...her right foot hit something more solid and defined than soft frozen water...She stopped, and looked down..."OH MY GOD!!!"*****************************************************************************There we go folks...Scene 3 of AD finished and posted. I hope you like it so far. Plenty more thrill rides to come, but the question remains, what the hell got Britney so shocked? Ah well, we'll soon find out in the Pedo Preteen next installment of AD...Please feel free to get back to me and let me know what you all think, even at this early stage!!

The Luck Drops' bold design was bred from necessity. It's located on a long and extremely narrow lot, so the architects were challenged to make the shelter feel open and airy while keeping it from becoming visually cramped. Mr.Yamashiita's solution was to use flexible walls that provide copious amounts of daylight, framing the house like a paper lantern. The translucent walls give the entire house a warm glow. Three levels provide a sparse 60 square meters of living space — kitchen and bath below, living on the first floor and a sleeping loft above.
Yamashita's unusual choice of construction materials keep the home's walls from cramping the space. In a bow to traditional Japanese interior sparseness, the home is completely open — even the floors are perforated to allow light to penetrate and to preserve the home's sense of space.

Please review our mudroom and games room design
Hi Gardenweb,
We are almost ready to do the interior framing of our games room and mudroom/powder room. We plan to have the basement concrete floor poured soon so we need to finalize plans. Our mudroom is off the garage, and our garage is at the basement level.
We are also considering a dumb waiter in the mudroom to help with bringing in the many groceries our family of 6 eat. The dumb waiter will go from the mudroom directly up to the kitchen.
In our games room, we were originally going to place the TV along the staircase wall, but have been told that the light reflection from the two south windows will cast a reflection on the plasma screen, and it will cost much more to do surround sound in this location. We struggled with where to place the furniture in the sitting area of the games room and am not sure if we have it right now or not.
By the way, the plumbing probably cannot go much farther south as the drain lines need sufficient fall, or so I understand. We do not need a full bath down here, but will rough in for a future bath just in case we ever do (in which case we would take down the wall between the storage room and powder room to add the bath).
Can you kindly look over these rooms and let me know your suggestions or comments? Thanks!
Overall, it looks pretty good! I would include a bench somewhere in the mudroom, so you can have the kids take off their shoes/boots more easily. Maybe have a bench(es) in the storage area, between the drop zone and the powder room?
Good idea about roughing in the shower (just in case) but can you switch the bar sink and storage area, by the ping pong table? The bar area seems very cramped...and that would put your plumbing all together, too.
As for the seating...I have a similar TV and I would much rather have the windows behind the TV, than on either side. Consider putting the TV back against the stair wall and maybe get a big sectional for the seating space. A family of six needs more room! If the light becomes a problem, get some curtains or black out blinds. Make sure you have lots of overhead/task lighting for projects...and remember, it's a basement, so you want it to feel a little snug and cozy...and the kids are going to love the extra seating! :)
Realistically the shoes will be in a heap by the door, perhaps have it turned 90 degrees to the long garage door so that they "have" to go to lockers? or even at the place where it says 23'7.75 and make the existing door the corner?
I don't see the orientation of the cars so perhaps it is good as you have it. Looks very nice!
Wow, I do love this forum! Thanks for the helpful replies.
Lavender_Lass you make some very good points. I have responded to your ideas below:
Kitchenette: I also feel that the kitchenette with bar sink is cramped and I like your solution. We will not use the kitchenette for much, but if ever we want to rent out the basement (i.e. when some kids leave home) a bigger kitchen would be necessary. However, if we move it to where you suggested, it would take it even further away from snack counter on wheels that is behind the couch. Do you think that is a big problem?
Mudroom: I believe we have the benches covered in the mudroom by planning for a built in seat to each locker (i.e. extra depth at seating height). If not additional benches can go where you suggested.
TV/Seating area: Yes I do agree that the TV would be nice under the stairs, and in an earlier plan we had it there. However, with the south windows shinning on the screen the image would be difficult to see. I really don't want to cover up the windows as I crave light in basements. To clarify about the windows they cover only the top 3 feet of wall, so there is a full 5 feet below for the TV so I don't imagine having the TV in between two windows (like in picture) should be a big issue, unless I am missing something. In order to have decent surround sound the staircase location I have been advised is not the best. I do love your idea for sectional seating -- if there is any money left over we will go for it as the current furniture is rather worn.
Peytonroad, thanks for your input! You made me laugh at your image of a heap of shoes by the garage door (and worried at the same time). No, I definitely don't want that! I will work hard to 100% train my family to put their stuff (shoes and all) in their own locker. Unfortunately, your thoughtful suggestion of moving the door to where the corner locker is will result in a longer passage through the garage for the walkers (i.e. the kids) and have them enter through a narrow part of the garage. Our garage is going to be around 40 feet deep as it is a tandem garage with one car parked behind the other. There is extra width for walkers to enter and bikes to be parked for the first 25 feet of so, then it gets narrower. Where I show the door now, it has people entering through the wider part of the garage if that makes any sense.
Thanks again for your help, and in advance for other suggestions:)
Since this is new construction I would consider making the doorways at least 32" so you can fit a wheelchair through them even if the space as a whole is not universal access/handicap access. Likewise I would make the bathroom accessible in this manner. Rather than making provisions for a remodeling, you could make the whole room a giant shower pan in essence, with proper drainage.
An area that comes straight in through a garage is definitely an area where I would make some accommodation for this because you never know when you may need to accommodate someone in a wheelchair even temporarily.
Hi palimpsest,
A very good point indeed! I will make sure the powder room door, in particular, is enlarged to 32". We missed that. I will make a few adjustments to the bathroom to make it more accessible friendly (i.e. supports for future grab bar near toilet). Thanks for making me re-think the bathroom.

Roman's Law and Fast Processing with Multiple CPU Cores
OpenMP and -xautopar seem to work pretty well for C, but what about C++? Will they mesh well with the kind of modern C++ usage peppered with generics and template metaprogramming? The short answer is, there's no short answer. But, let's see for ourselves with the following example of modern C++ [ab]use:
#include <vector> #include <iterator> #include <algorithm> #include <iostream> void standard_input_sorter() { using namespace std; vector<string> v; copy(istream_iterator<string>(cin), istream_iterator<string>(), back_inserter(v)); sort(v.begin(), v.end()); } $ CC -c -fast -xloopinfo -xautopar -xopenmp -library=stlport4 sorter.cc
The above produces a pretty long list of complaints, explaining why a particular section of the STLport library cannot be parallelized. The key issue here is that certain areas of C++ are notoriously difficult to parallelize by default. Even with OpenMP, things like concurrent container access are much more trouble than they are worth. Do we have to rewrite STL? Well, seems like Intel almost did. Intel has been working on what it calls the Thread Building Blocks (TBB) C++ library, and its claim to fame is exactly that—making modern C++ parallel. Give it a try, and see if it works for you. I especially recommend it if you're interested in exploiting task parallelism. But, then again, the amount of modern C++ that TBB throws at even the simplest of examples, such as calculating Fibonacci numbers, is something that really makes me sad. Tasks as defined in the upcoming OpenMP 3.0 standard seem far less threatening.
There is a fundamental trend toward concurrency in hardware. Multicore systems are now making their way into laptops and desktops. Unfortunately, unless software engineers start taking these trends into account, there's very little that modern hardware can do to make individual applications run faster. Of course, parallel programming is difficult and error-prone, but with the latest tools and programming techniques, there's much more to it than merely POSIX threads. Granted, this article scratches only the surface of what's available. Hopefully, the information presented here will be enough of a tipping point for most readers to start seriously thinking about concurrency in their applications. Our high-definition camcorders demand it and so does every gamer on earth.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
