Interco SS-M16 Those familiar with Interco's tires might know the Super Swamper line. They're strongly biased for off-road use but aren't as much fun on the highway. There's now a new option for those who want a tire that's better as a daily driver and works well off-road: the Interco SS-M16. The company took design features from its all-terrain and mud-terrain tires, helping make the SS-M16 highway-friendly and quiet without hurting off-road capability. Interco calls this a tire for all seasons, which bridges the gap between all terrains and highly aggressive off-road tires. Starting at $265.

Outdoors, Memphis
Concierge.com's insider take:
The Bluff City has a number of lovely parks and outdoor spaces that are an ideal place to work off all that barbecue you've been wolfing down. Tom Lee Park, which runs along the bluffs of the Mississippi River, is a good place for a twilight stroll. Overton Park is home to the Memphis Zoo, where a $23-million Northwest Passage exhibit opened in 2006 and gives visitors an underwater view of sea lions and swimming polar bears (2000 Prentiss Pl.; 901-276-9453; www.memphiszoo.org). The 96-acre Memphis Botanic Garden (750 Cherry Rd.; 901-576-4100; www.memphisbotanicgarden.com) is located across the street from Audubon Park and hosts a hip Live at the Garden summer concert series (901-576-4107; www.liveatthegarden.com). And Shelby Farms, one of the largest urban parks in the country at 3,200 acres, is a good place for canoeing and fishing, though you must bring your own equipment (500 Pine Lake Dr.; 901-382-0235; www.shelbyfarmspark.org).

11 Small Wins to Help You Kick Start Your Primal Life
Posted By Mark Sisson On April 25, 2013 @ 8:00 am In Personal Improvement | 54 Comments
Last week I took up the idea of how small wins can lead to big successes [7]. When we allow ourselves to appreciate the everyday accomplishments and set ourselves up for regular achievements, we inevitably gain confidence in our abilities and build the motivation to continue challenging ourselves. Ignoring a win is like brushing off a compliment: it's a missed opportunity and a waste of positive energy. That energy matters more than we think in our journeys. When we shift the pattern and begin seeing – and celebrating – our small wins, however, we learn to literally see ourselves as winners (this doesn't come easily for everyone), and as psychological reason goes, winning begets more success.
What constitutes a "win"? That's up to you. Above all, start where you need to start. If you're just embarking on a major weight loss or health overhaul, maybe every good choice deserves to be written down. Later, when better decisions become built into your lifestyle, you can raise the bar.
You can approach small wins a number of ways. Some people might prefer more of a "task" route in which you're attempting to see how consistent you can be with a new habit. This approach cultivates discipline and can be helpful in laying down new patterns in your lifestyle. Make a game of it – especially if you're doing it as a family or with Primal friends. Assign points for each task and compare at the end of the week/month. (Feel free to start a thread on the forum [8] for it!) If it's just your own groovy self, consider doing a log to give each task concrete, visual recognition.
Another way of looking at it is meeting a certain benchmark. These might feel more gratifying because they're occasional achievements and therefore feel "bigger." Additionally, there are challenges or events for which participation itself is the accomplishment for most people. Finally, there are the gains you make doing the same activity over time. It's all part of a personal journey [9], of course, but consider incorporating a little of each.
Regardless of what wins you favor, there's one thing I definitely suggest. The idea here is to see each win as part of a successive and progressive chain, a means for continual – and often exponential – growth. Don't just observe each win individually like an isolated occurrence. To put each in a grander context and to get the most mental mileage out of your wins, assemble them. Keeping an ongoing record (e.g. achievement journal [10], visual board, fill-in calendar) will help you appreciate your progress over time. When you're having a crummy day and suffer from selective amnesia about any past self-esteem or positive choices, you'll have a whole slew of wins to buoy you through the funk.
Now, a few ideas for small wins worth cheering over:
It's one of the things people celebrate the most because it's such a tangible sign that they're regaining their health and vitality again from the grip of disease. No matter how small the change in dose, commemorate it. It's your body getting stronger (and maybe your bank account more flush again).
Though we may claim otherwise, I think just about all of us enjoy looking good [11]. Despite any culturally imposed guilt, there's nothing wrong with it when it dovetails with being healthy. Some people have clothes from previous years they'd love to get into again. Others look forward to enjoying shopping for something new that they wouldn't have felt comfortable in before. Whatever the case, work it.
Expand your Primal repertoire and enjoy the win simultaneously. The key here is preparation. (A sad truth: healthy foods are the perishable ones.) Have a couple recipes for each new food [12] that genuinely appeal to you. Take pictures of each creation. The more variety you develop in your Primal Blueprint diet, the more likely you are to feel satisfied and stick with it. Mikey likes it!
I can't tell you how many times I hear this from folks who go Primal. Extra weight and poor fitness had held them back so long, they felt like they were stuck on the sidelines of big parenting moments. The first time you realize you were able to catch your child in a game of tag or run alongside her as she rode her bike – you'll never forget it. Appreciate the occasion for the fitness progress it is and the parenting celebration. You've always loved your kids. It's just amazing to be present to them in a new, invigorated way.
Cousin's wedding coming up? Spring charity galas or office retreats? Don't underestimate the "win" of sticking with your Primal priorities [13] at events like these. Go with a plan and celebrate the strength of your strategy and resolve afterward.
Unless they're born with a penchant for entertaining, most people take their time on this one. It's not your typical newbie event, but once you get the gumption to set the Primal agenda, it might just become tradition. No, maybe it won't be easy to convince your non-Primal relatives to forgo the conventional trimmings for the bigger holidays like Thanksgiving, but consider hosting one of the upcoming "grill-friendly" holidays like Memorial Day or 4th of July. Primal hosting might not benefit your health specifically, but think of it as inspiration – living your Primal lifestyle out loud.
Some people challenge themselves to try a new machine or set of weights at the gym each week. For others, it might be to try three new classes in a season. Maybe you want to challenge yourself to get out of the gym and attempt three kinds of outdoor [14] or at-home workouts in a month. While physical gains (e.g. upping our lifting weight or treadmill incline, stepper time) are genuine small wins themselves, don't forget to challenge yourself toward variety.
I honestly can't think of a better win. How many people can say they play [15] that much on a regular basis? How do you think people would feel about their lives if they did? Sure, not every hour of a Saturday can be filled with the likes of Ultimate Frisbee [16]. Better to spread it out anyway. Turn off the T.V. and play chess instead on a Tuesday night. Skip an unnecessary meeting and woodwork [17] or paint instead. Be active, creative, spontaneous. Get out of the mindset that governs all the other hours of the week – for five hours a week. The result can be life-changing.
There's something to having an event on the calendar to work toward. It's concrete initiative and hoopla-filled achievement on the actual day. Maybe it's a charity walk that's 3 miles or 10 miles. Maybe it's your first 5K race or marathon. Maybe it's a hiking trip or a noncompetitive biking expedition (Someone told me recently he does Iowa's RAGBRAI [18] each year – shout out to the Midwesterners.) Whatever the event, there's such an incredible vibe you get from being with the other participants and seeing the supporters. It's one of those small wins with huge personal gain – far beyond the exercise benefit.
Six months Primal, ten years Primal, one week Primal. Doesn't matter – celebrate it. Mark the occasion with some reflection [19], a massage [20], or just your favorite Primal dinner.
Choose five outdoor adventures in your area that you enjoy doing or have always wanted to do that you will hit between now and the start of summer. Then choose five more. They can include everything from hiking your favorite park trail to climbing an area mountain, tubing or canoeing a given river to doing a full moon hike, biking the rounds of your city to exploring a new neighborhood on foot. Mix it up and invite friends along for the adventure.
Is that enough to get you started? What other small wins would you add to the list? What small wins would you like to enjoy in the coming months? Thanks for reading, everyone. Have a great end to your week.

Prince William and Kate Middleton royal wedding: Do monarchies still matter?
Prince William and Kate Middleton's royal wedding may have tinges of the turreted-castle fairy tale. But from romantic to ruthless, more than 40 modern monarchies, including Prince William's family, still influence global realities for better or worse.
AP Photo/John Kehe illustration
Theirs is a thoroughly modern royal love story.
They met as students at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland and love bloomed amid the mist and timeless splendor of a historic city of worn cobblestones, wind-swept beaches, and the Old Course, golf's ancestral home.
They dated for several years, broke up, got back together, and finally, much to the relief of a nation, issued a long-awaited engagement announcement.
The April 29 wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey in London will be an international event, a reminder of the power that royalty still packs in the early 21st century.
In a democratic age, monarchy still matters. More than 40 countries still have some form of monarchy: From Britain's constitutional monarchy headed by Prince William's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, to sheikhs, emirs, and kings who preside over oil-rich states in the Middle East, the sun has never managed to fully set on royal reign.

Sony Corporation Chairman Howard Stringer has conceded that the PlayStation 3 was on "life support" as a result of the machine's shaky start, with high development costs proving nearly "catastrophic" for the Japanese electronics giant.
Speaking during The Wall Street Journal's D: All Things Digital Conference yesterday, Stringer noted that things have started to pick up for the company with prices coming down and software turning over profit for the platform holder.
He observed that upcoming titles would use the "full capacity" of the PS3, assuring they would look "spectacular."
Stringer also remarked that a direct reference to "Betamax 2" would have been engraved on his tombstone, had the company lost the high definition format war against Toshiba's HD-DVD disc.
However, he denied that Sony ultimately won the battle as a result of paying movie studios the most money, adding, "We were not in the check-writing competition."
PS3 was on "life support," says Stringer

So daddy, I'm finally through. The black telephone's off at the root, The voices just can't worm through.

Daddy, daddy, you bastard, I'm through. by Sylvia Plath | ...go to quote | +Fav

It's generally very difficult to make wrong choices in an MMO. You can make choices that are less than optimal, definitely, and even choices that you later regret, but there's almost always a way to respec and try again. Even if you can't do that, you can always reroll and transfer most of your stuff from one character to another.Despite all of this, as I sat down to choose my first powers in Champions Online, I found myself very nervous that I'd pick the wrong thing for my character. I'm pretty sure that level 5 is far too early for me to have any chance of ruining my character forever, and I can always drop a few bucks and try again if that turns out to be the case, but I still couldn't help but have that fear that making the wrong choices would be disastrous.
So what about you? Do you occasionally worry about making the wrong choice with your character, even if you know that most of those choices can be remade if it turns out you were wrong? Or do you forge ahead without fear, confident it will all work out in the end?
Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!

I kill the block, I murder the avenues
from Kanye West (Ft. Bon Iver, Jay Z, Nicki Minaj & Rick Ross) – Monster Lyrics on Genius
Continues from the previous line: the cars Jay drives are so expensive no one can compete, figuratively killing any competition to his swag on a whole street.
Muhammad Ali's speech before his fight with George Foreman, the "Rumble in the Jungle," he said that he's going to "[beat] the big bad monster, who knocks out everybody, and no one can whoop him." Later he goes on to say, "I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick; I'm so mean, I make medicine sick." The syntax of "I kill the block, I murder the avenues," seems to suggest Jay-Z may be referencing Ali's legendary pre-match speech.
Kanye previously compared himself to Ali in "Gorgeous"
This calls back to Rick Ross's line earlier in the song.

Academic Drive Repaving to Take Place August 3-11
Academic Drive (Lot D) will be repaved from Saturday, August 3, through Sunday, August 11, as part of the Technology Building construction project. No parking will be available on Academic Drive for the duration of the repaving. While one-way traffic is expected to be largely maintained, disruptions are possible for short amounts of time.
To avoid the potential Academic Drive interruptions, employees with reserved spaces on Union Place may choose to park elsewhere. Employees who park on Academic Drive will be required to make use of other staff parking lots during this time.
In an effort to accommodate those who use the accessible parking area on Academic Drive, Lot C (adjacent to Cleveland Circle) will be available. From August 5 to August 11, a vehicle displaying a valid municipal handicap hangtag will not be required to pay at the meter station in Lot C.
For more information about campus capital projects, please visit the Buffalo State construction website. Questions about this project can be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you for your patience.


text: Today I witnessed a most beautiful thing. Something simple, but nonetheless profound, at least to me. I was sitting in my little blue truck while at lunch and saw a small bird, smaller than the others that surrounded it, trying to fly against the wind. He kept trying and trying and kept being thrown back down to the ground by the wind. A rather windy day today. After a few minutes and a little bit of trouble he finally made it up to a nearby tree branch. It reminded me so much of how life can be and usually is. Flying blind against the wind, never quite knowing what you are doing, but having to try to survive. I hope your flight plans and experiments are just as interesting.

Ball State University is a state-run research university located in Muncie, Indiana, United States. It is also known as Ball State or simply BSU. Located on the northwest side of the city, Ball State's campus spans 731 acres (2.96 km) and includes 106 buildings. The student body consists of more than 22,000 students, of whom nearly 4,000 are graduate students. Originally a normal school, Ball State has grown and expanded over the years. Ball State is classified by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education as a Research University (RU/H). Ball State University was not the first school to operate at its location. Previous educational institutions operated at the intersection of University and McKinley Avenues before 1918; however, they were neither public nor did they carry the "Ball" name. The area of Muncie, Indiana that is now known as Ball State University had its start in 1899 as a private school called the Eastern Indiana Normal School to educate teachers. The entire school, including classrooms, library, and the president's residence were housed in what is now known as the Ball State Administration building.

Jillian Rose Hall of Cynthiana, daughter of Ronnie Hall of Mt. Sterling, Ky. and Andrea Hughes of Georgetown, Ky., and Edward Colten 'Coty' Berry of Cynthiana, son of the late Edward Berry of Berry, Ky. and Jennifer Roberts of Cynthiana, announce their engagement and forthcoming marriage.

A community baby shower is an event for expectant parents and for parents to children birth through age 3. It combines training and informational booths, cake, punch and free prizes. The first annual Harrison County Community Baby Shower will be held April 21 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Westside Elementary School. You must attend the entire session to be eligible to win door prizes. Car seat checks will be provided before and after the shower as well as a booth that can be visited. Events will include: • Registration from 4:30-4:45 p.m.
Harrison County Homemakers look to add smiles to nursing home residents with Hawaiian-themed tea parties. "This makes the fourth year that we have hosted tea parties at the nursing homes," said Cheryl Case, Extension Agent for Family and Consumer Science. "We see it as a way to honor those who dedicated their life to their families and treat them to an hour of old-fashioned tradition."
I have mixed emotions about the by-pass around Cynthiana that's set to get underway this summer. I can see the benefits for those who commute north and south to work and school. When you talk about spending two hours of your day on the road, cutting out 10 or 15 minutes of one-way drive time would be a big deal.
10 years ago . . .
The Women's Club of Harrison County had their meeting at the Harrison County Country Club on April 9. The Pledge to the Flag was led by Virgie Wells, club president. The blessing and Spiritual Values was given by Zenoa McCauley. In the absence of Bonnie Teater, Wells introduced Susan Davisson. Her program was 'Jewelry be the Spoonful.' She showed jewelry she had made out of silverplated spoons, forks, bracelets, rings and pendants. The club welcomed three guests, Susan Davisson's mother Sandy Zumwalt, Judy Judy and Etta Donahue.

To the editor: I recently had the honor to preside over the funeral services for Melissa Hall. In my eulogy I read a letter written to me by Melissa. However, I was apparently not clear about when the letter was written causing some people to believe and gossip things that are not true. I just wanted to clarify that the letter was written to me around one year before her death. To the family, please know that I am still praying for you often, and to those overcome with the need to gossip, know that I am praying for you too.

Pedaling beneath a canopy of 2,000-year-old giants in Redwoods National Park is a lesson in humility for even the youngest riders, a reminder that there are things in nature both bigger and more ancient that humans. You'll see plenty of the titanic trees and much more on Western Spirit's five-day Redwoods National Park Family Trip.
Starting from Crescent City, about 75 miles north of Arcata, the trip alternates between riding—up to 18 miles per day, with shorter options for the kids and more technical routes for parents—hiking among the big trees, and wandering along remote, Pacific beaches. Nights are spent at two cushy base camps in Jedediah Smith and Prairie Creek State Park, and three guides instead of the usual two ensure that there's always someone to hang out with the kids when their legs get tired, so you can keep spinning.
The mostly wide, gentle, pine-needle-blanketed trails make this an ideal intro to touring for young ones. That's not to say that all the trails are cruisers, though: On day three, the trip delivers its first dose of singletrack, en route to Fern Canyon. The next day features a mile-long hike to Redwood National Park's historic Lady Bird Johnson Grove before the parents split off to ride Holter Ridge's steep climbs and swooping, fast descents. The last day is devoted entirely to the coast, with a three-mile ramble along Hidden Beach to a series of tide pools, teeming with anemones, starfish, and crabs.
Kids need to be at least four and comfortable riding on a trailercycle (Western Spirit rents tag-a-longs as well as Specialized Hot Rocks and mini Stumpjumpers for older kids). Trips run June through August, when the ocean keeps temperatures in the pleasant high 60s. Rain is minimal, but don't begrudge the occasional coastal fog—the redwoods depend on it. $1,185 per person.

All of those folks should be fired! This has come at the expense of characters with history who DESERVE to be on Days helluva lot more than those folks, like Marlena, John, Jack, Lucas, Carrie, and Austin. Why is Roman on contract when he's never used? Hell, why haven't they recast him with Wayne Northrop, the REAL Roman? Stefano used to be a truly frightening villain, so why has he been reduced to an organ-stealing diabetic?! Why are Lexie and Abe even together? They aren't a supercouple—she's cheated on him multiple times and he's a verbally, emotionally, and borderline physically abusive creep. Why isn't Lexie a true DiMera villainess? The return of Carly has been a bust from the get-go. Justin and Adrienne essentially reunited in ONE EPISODE without any build-up or follow-up. Their original wedding is one of Days' highest-rated episodes ever, and their new, reunion wedding occurred off-screen! What is this show thinking?! To top it off, the series revolves around Sami Brady. It's sickening that the psycho who spent the 90s torturing her sister is now the lead heroine of Days. And the second lead female character of this show is Nicole, someone brought on as the love interest of a character who hasn't been on this show in over a DECADE!!! The show's leading man, EJ, is a joke. First of all, he was horribly SORASed which was bad enough. But then they pissed all over his mother Susan's infamous exit storyline and rewrote his backstory. This is extremely, terribly insulting because EJ is not even HALF the character his mother Susan Banks was! 2) Writing Dena Higley's writing is dreadful. Her stories lack humor and charm. They take themselves way too seriously. There is no sense of identity with this show—it can't decide if it wants to be campy/sci-fi or traditional/character-driven. Days has pulled off a mixture of both over the years, but Higley lacks the finesse to make it flow together. Her stories aren't exciting. They're essentially previous stories rehashed with different characters. It's awful. There is no sense of fun, no sense of creativity, and certainly no sense of DRAMA. Where is the build-up? Where is the pay-off? Where is the imagination? 3) Production Values Days has got to be the most horribly lit show on daytime. The actors all glow a disturbing purple or orange hue. The sets are WAAAAY too bright! Remember when the lighting used to be moody and atmospheric? Look at the Cheatin' Heart: it used to be a darkly-lit set (makes sense because it's a BAR), but now it glows a weird orange colour. And how in the f**k does it make sense for the pier and the park to be ONE SET?! NO! The pier and the park are two separate, distinct sets and always have been. I applaud Days for moving Suzanne Rogers to the front-burner—she proved her acting chops to the new generation in '03 when Maggie was targeted and then seemingly murdered by the Salem Stalker. But even this is not without flaw—Maggie's "relationship" with Victor has come at the expense of Caroline, Victor's TRUE love, who has been utterly destroyed as a character to prop "Magic". The only other compliment I can give Days is for throwing Alice a decent memorial (although not perfect though several important characters were excluded), and for having Kate marry Stefano. I don't watch Days anymore and haven't in years, but I catch it from time to time. It's a sad shell of its former self. I used to love this show in the 90s and I wish I could watch it again, but as long as the show looks like crap, is written by a horrible head writer, and features characters I just plain don't like, I can't bring myself to do it. May 2, 2011 at 10:05 pm #406404 alstonboy4315 853 Posts A-Crane, You don't like Nicole? I love Ari Zucker and Nicole. May 2, 2011 at 11:33 pm #406414 Anonymous 2897 Posts I initially liked Nicole when she was Eric's girlfriend and had a mysterious past and took Kate's bribe to marry Lucas for $5 million. But I started to hate her when she faked cancer to break up Eric and Greta. I didn't find her interesting again until under JER's pen when she teamed up with Jan. And I haven't been feeling her 2008-present run at all. She is just one of those characters who really has NO ties to anyone on the canvas. May 3, 2011 at 1:44 am #406432 akbad806 243 Posts Nicole and Chloe are both useless to me. DAYS would be so much better if it invested in someone like Sarah Buxton (ex-Annie, Sunset; ex-Morgan, B&B) to play Kristen Blake or Tom Phelphey to play Nicholas Alamain or one of Justin and Adrianne's boys. This show needs talent which it is sorely lacking. DAYS is like an afterthought and it's currently boring. Rarely has this soap surprised me since I started tuning back in. UGH!!!! May 3, 2011 at 3:05 am #406441 alstonboy4315 853 Posts Akbad– Sorry, but the role of Kristen Blake, in my opinion, belongs to Eileen Davidson. May 3, 2011 at 3:19 am #406443 akbad806 243 Posts @Alstonboy, I know I'm just taking lemons and making lemonade….notice I didn't dare mention Susan. May 3, 2011 at 4:52 am #406454 Anonymous 2897 Posts I'd rather see Susan again than Kristen. Since Sony owns both Y&R and Days, they should let Eileen Davidson do a one or two episode appearance as Susan and FIX how they destroyed EJ's backstory. May 3, 2011 at 1:44 pm #406470 marknsprmo 407 Posts Alistarcrane you pretty much nailed everything that is wrong with Days. But I did want to make a few comments. I think that Sami deserves to be a major player on Days. As it's heroine? Well maybe she might have stayed a little more villianous. However AW successfully transitioned Rachel from bitch to shows lead, and people DO change occasionally in real life too so I am not sure that I hate the idea of Sami being he leading lady as much as you do. (Although Jennifer would be more suited perhaps). I would love for Days to beef up the Hortons. There are so many of them and alot of them have been out of town for so long that they must have alot of stories by now. I think it would be better to build on the Horton family than to have to start all over with the Hernandez family which is just really a latino version of the Brady clan. And not even as charismatic as the original. All the Brady kids had some spark about them. The Hernandez's are pretty lack luster. Heck I like Fo Rafe better than the real one. They could bring Doug and Julie back, give them a night club where people could hang out, and then layer in different Hortons. I would also eventually like to see Jack return with Jen. As far as story is concerned, I think making the daily episodes more interesting and compelling would be where I would start. It can be a real drudge to try to watch Days. Some of the actors are engaging and try to make the show interesting to watch but the sets are so bad, the dialog so repititious(lol even our complaints about this show are repititious because they never fix it), there is not enough interaction between different groups of people. You keep seeing the same characters over and over in scenes together. If Gabi and Abbey are gonna be viable characters, the show needs to pair them up with some of the shows better actresses like they did with Molly to get their acting up to par. Plus get rid of their baby names and call them Abigail and Gabrielle. It is hard to believe them as adults in training calling them Gabi and Abbey….. Abigail could spend alot more time with her mom. Maybe pair Gabrielle up with Maggie or Sami. Or scrap the whole thing and just give us Chill, which is what we want anyway! Chad "could" be a straight character and I could see him with a girl but Will is so akward with girls, I am not sure I even believe he has a hetero gene in him. The chemistry is definately between them and not with their girlfriends. Cut some losses. Daniel, Molly, Chloe, Carly, they could all dissapear and we would not notice. May 5, 2011 at 4:47 am #406681 sodsince16 33 Posts It's interesting that you write about the lack of characterization in Days because I think that consistency of characterization is one of this soap's strengths. Sometimes on soaps female characters seem to have no internal motivation for their actions. They are simply mean or a victim or nuts. For example, Madison on AMC – I have no idea who this woman is, she is defined by the terrible things that happen to her. There are times when I cannot differentiate her from Marissa another totally undefined character. I have no idea why she likes Scott, except for the fact that he is handsome and nice. However on Days, – although the plots are silly, and everyone seems to live in one of three houses despite being so wealthy that nobody goes to work on a daily basis – we know why the characters do what they do. Sami was forever changed by Marlena's affair on the boardroom table. EJ struggles between good and evil and question of whether being born a Dimera means that he has to act like a Dimera. Nicole wants whatever she can't have because Fey didn't care for her as much as her siblings. The motivations remain the same it's just the plots that change. So – while I think that there are a lot of things that are wrong in Salem, and Alister's list was fairly comprehension – I don't think that character is one of them. Finally, I think, soap fans have to stop looking backward in hopes of saving the soaps. The return of Marlena is not going to suddenly turn Days into Gone with the Wind. This type of thinking hasn't allowed any new soaps to flourish in the past decade and without new soaps or new characters there will be nothing left in the next decade. Case in point, Melanie – a character who everyone hated when she first came on, but with some further development Melanie could easily drive story for the next ten years and it would keep me interested. I am trying to be positive about new families and new characters in the hopes that one will stick and move the story forward. May 5, 2011 at 5:08 am #406688 Anonymous 2897 Posts Marlena's presence may not save Days from cancellation but she certainly deserves to be on this show a HELLUVA lot more than the disgusting Melanie! GMAFB. The idea of "going forward" is not going to save Days. That's a fallacy. ALL of the four remaining soaps have an expiration date. The best thing to do is reward the LOYAL fans who love characters like Marlena, John, Jack, and Lucas and bring them back to the show and write good stories for them. Teenagers aren't suddenly going to start soaps and save them. Also, I never said anything was wrong with Days' characterization. I said it's a show full of characters who shouldn't be on it, and it's a show that centres around the wrong characters. With characters like Melanie and Rafe eating up the show, Days has lots its identity. True Days characters like Marlena, John, Jack, Carrie, etc. can restore Days' sense of identity and make this show RECOGNIZABLE and worth watching again. May 5, 2011 at 7:41 pm #406817 Camp is not a sustainable model 828 Posts In addition is when you got the fabulous actors like Renee Jones and James Reynolds (Lexie and Abe) running chasing kids literally. Now that is a waste of two talented actors. I want me some more bad Lexie! Jennifer without Jack is not good.

Daniel, Molly, Chloe, Carly, they could all dissapear and we would not notice.[/quote] You got that right Nadia is dead weight as Chloe. All she ever does is blink those fake eye lashes and look surprised all the time. May 5, 2011 at 9:14 pm #406843 Anonymous 2897 Posts I was a huge Phloe fan back in the day, and I wish they had written Chloe out with Philip a few weeks ago. This "new" incarnation of Chloe that we've been getting since 2007 is awful! Nadia Bjorlin has never been a good actress but at least she used to be likeable. Chloe hasn't been entertaining in TEN YEARS! Viewing 13 posts - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

This link might be an option.http://benkrasnow.blogspot.com/2010/...ontrol-by.html
Of the solutions suggested, performance-wise the best is the triac dimmer ChowderMonkey linked, but in this application (very long thermal time constants), you can easily afford to PWM with a sub-Hz switching rate and notice no difference. In the end, I'd do whatever is easiest and cheapest.
Im going to being using a microcontroller and I figure that I would just cycle the heating element on and off as needed (depending on the temperature) and I plan to have my fluids always moving. Would I need to bother with a PWM setup? I guess technically I am doing PWM if I am cycling the SSR on and off every few seconds.... Do you all think its better to do a PWM/similar circuit that would regulate the heating element output or just pump it on and off with a IO pin?
For a fairly slow heating process, where temperatures change over minutes, not milliseconds, using a relay, I'd program my own PWM. Turn the relay totally on and totally off over a longer pulse interval, like 10 seconds to 1 minute. As noted by others, relays are not intended to switch at 500Hz. especially not with AC input.

mousewheel and jit.window
I have a large standalone in which I would like to be able to use the mousewheel to be able to rapidly scroll through values in a number box.
I know that jit.window has a mousewheel parameter, but I'm clueless as to how to use it within a patch that otherwise doesn't use any Jitter at all, let alone a jit.window?
Also, how does one interpret the data that comes out of jit.window for the mousewheel parameter? I can't make heads or tails of it…
I've had a look at this one year ago to help someone on the forum but couldn't find any way that doesn't involve a jit.window. The mousewheel speed is given with something like this (but I guess you had figured this out…). I got values ranging from about -0.5 to 0.5 :
Can't you use the hi object to get the mousewheel info? I don't have a mouse to test, but i see that if i scroll on my trackpad (mbp) i get numbers such as 6 1, 6 2, 6 3 or 6 -1, 6 -2, 6 -3… If i don't use the scrolling function i always get 6 0..
edit: actually it works with an usb mouse and hi on my mbp: param 10 not 0 if scrolling (1 or -1 for each step)…
@Tobias – the hi object is a good idea, I will give it a look.
@Stephane – thanks, I had also gotten that far, but I think there is more to interpreting the info than just looking at that last value… Either way though, I can't have a jit.window be the frontmost window in my application, so I don't think it would work for me anyway…
Follow up on using the hi object – it does work, but the bad news is that on two different mice I've looked at on two different systems, the code that the hi object outputted for mousewheel movement differed. So coming up with something that will work across systems (which for me is a requirement) doesn't look promising.
