text: 1 Great Graphics but such a Let downPosted: 01/05/2010I enjoyed the previous final fantasy games so when this one was released i was very interested in buying, but after playing the game for 14 hours played time i found it very boring and nothing like the previous games. the amount of freedom in the game is very limited and linear and the amount of customization you can do very low e.g. weapons you start off with you will almost keep using until around disk 3 and the stats you can update your character in are very limited and every option you choose makes no difference and you will end up with pretty much the same stats. the only good thing i enjoyed was the enviornment detail and some of the fighting cutscenes which were amazing but can only take the game so far. the other short cutscenes during the chapters i found very boring and each characters voice was annoying and they said very cheesy line with their strange half australian half british accents.

By Kristine H. from Bay City, TX on May 14, 2008
It is difficult to order things over the Internet because it is hard to judge the quality of the piece, especially a knob. We hope that its appearance is as good as the picture online. The knobs and back plates I ordered were better than the photo and I was very pleased. They are heavy, the perfect size and have very good detail. The products also arrived very timely and the prices were reasonable.

This knob is great, the color matches well with nickle faucet fixtures (Price Pfister Catalina)and the knob is substantial looking and is of a good size. The matching pulls are quite elegant as well.

BRUSH TIP REVIEW: I am new(ish) to liquid liner so maybe I should've gone with felt. Didn't realize there were two options. BUT the formula is amazing!! It's so extremely black, and I'm fair skinned with very dark hair so the effect is striking. I wear black glasses and the blacks were the same. And it looks so... satin smooth. No crumbly flakey dry looking black crackle. It takes a while to dry. 30+ seconds of having your eyes half open or closed. Otherwise it will get on your crease if your eyes are shaped like mine. And I made the mistake of using a non-carbon black mascara with this a few times, and in photos: no lashes! Gotta go carbon black for liner and lashes if you want a really glam look. TL;DR Great blackest black, should go with felt, star off for the drying wait time. Get matching mascara.
I've been using L'Oreal Lineur Intense with the brush for about 6 years, it's such a staple in my makeup kit. It's probably the only makeup product I've repurchased multiple times.
I have really oily eyelids, but I just apply my Proof 10 eye primer, then eyeshadow and then Lineur Intense for a dramatic black liquid line that sits firmly on my lids and has burned itself into part of my identity for years now. I know I can count on it to still be there, 12 hours later when I wash my face. I've flirted with gel eyeliners and such, before I used eye primer, but now with the eye primer my Lineur Intense and I have a more stable relationship than ever before, and I haven't been interested in looking for another eyeliner ever since.
I have Asian eyes with double eyelids, so I think this thicker brush tip looks amazing and dramatic on my kind of almond eye. I watched a video where a reviewer really disliked this eyeliner, and she had the Indo-Aryan deep-set eyes and was more of a beginner at liquid eyeliners so she preferred liners with firmer brush tips to get a thin line for herself. Lineur Intense gives you like a nail polish brush, so you're painting instead of drawing, but I think it allows for a smoother thick stroke, which I really love. It might have taken a bit of practice to get good at this (I don't remember), but now I can easily do a cat eye or super thin flicked corner as well. Happy eyelining!

This is my HG drugstore everyday liquid eyeliner. Regularly priced for $9 (U.S.) and can be purchased for even less when on sale. I've used this liner on and off for at least 5+ years and I could not be happier with it. I'm a contact lens wearer with dry eyes, and this liner does not sting nor irritate them. It's super easy to use, it comes with a tapered brush instead of felt/marker tips, and lasts at least 8 hours.

This is my all-time favorite eyeliner. I just can't live without it. It never runs or smudges and always looks perfectly natural. I particularly love the very fine brush. It makes it so easy to draw a fine line.

This is by far the BEST liquid eyeliner I have ever used. I have been using this for the past 6 years, and I absolutely love it!! This eyeliner is bold, precise and long-lasting. I love the felt tip brush, its thin and perfect for a winged-eyeliner look! I would definitely recommend this eyeliner to everyone! Nothing can compare to this.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I like the way the brush works. It lines well . But the inner tube pulls out of outer tube and is a mess. I've had this happen with 3 different liners so there is a definite problem. L'Oreal, please fix this issue .
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great quality! It doesn't smudge, and it lasts allllllll day. It's a true dark black. Easy to get a cat eye. Great tip. Great handle. Dries in seconds. The only thing I would change is the shinyness. It's not too shiny at all, I just wish it was a little bit more matte. But I just throw on a little black shadow overtop to get it matte. Highly recommend to new eyeliner users and professionals.

This is ok. I've been looking for a liquid liner just like the Lancome liquid liner. The brush for the L'oreal liner is too thick though. I could cover my whole eyelid with it. Its kind of hard to make a thin line. But there is a felt tip brush, so you could try that instead. You do have to wait for it to dry or it will smudge easily. I don't think I would repurchase this.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I tried the brown one and it's quite comparable to some of my HG eyeliners such as the Dolly Wink Liquid Liner. The brush tip makes it a bit more difficult for me to apply the product, but if I take my time, the brush creates a precise, medium sized line. Even on my oily lids, the liner did not smudge noticeably, and I was impressed with the staying power. You do have to wait for the product to dry, but overall, great drugstore liquid liner.
I purchased this liner in the earthen rock brown (brown). I can't believe how difficult it has been to find a felt-tip liquid liner in a brown color (at the drugstore). There just aren't that many brown liquid liners out there in the pen applicator. The few I tried were total junk - no color payoff, runny, lame applicator. I have used the black version for years, but had about given up hope on finding it in brown. I absolutely love the felt-tip pen applicator, it's by far my favorite. I think it allows for the accuracy you need to be able to do a variety of lines. I do wish the brown was just a smidge more brown/bronze. But hey, after looking for a brown liquid liner with this style applicator for weeks, I'm not going to be picky. I love L'oreal's liquid eyeliner pen products: they are easy to apply, the color is rich, the product is not runny, and they have great staying power. Very happy with my purchase & I would definitely re-buy.

Just an FYI if you are getting close to the ordering phase, Elderly has a couple used Miras and Singlecut Hollowbody Standards right now...
Just an FYI if you are getting close to the ordering phase, Elderly has a couple used Miras and Singlecut Hollowbody Standards right now...
I am a bit bewildered. I tried the Mira 2 - there was a white and tobacco one (I should have played the tobacco to see if it made a difference). I truly welcome ANY help as this may be more 'me,' but I can't be certain. The sound options on the guitar were fantastic (granted, I didn't want to play w the Dean Markley or PRS amps all day there. Those were the only 2 options), but I liked the single coil sounds and how you could roll off tone and all that so well. The problem (and this is where I welcome your experience here, folks): The "11/16" width !nut (I guess) vs something more narrow (5/8?) was difficult for me to "land all notes in chords" eg. 8th fret: Bd7 C#dim7 Bd7/D. (uh, I had to slow it down to get my fingers on the strings! I picked up a G + L usa asat and it was much easier. That could be because I've been playing a Taylor Acoustic for past 6 mos (I haven't played an electric in YEARS). Is it 'fair' to compare this neck and could it be I WOULD be ok on this and its just my inexperienced reference point?? I liked the less tension, but I wasn't clean because of that, too. I can't tell if its that I LEAN toward fender type, NARROW necks or looong hiatus w no other experience in necks to draw from (except the Taylor). Is this neck to wide? too flat? I did notice the high E rolled off fretboard a few times (I played this for about 45 min). I loved the wt the balance sitting was good rolls a bit to Right side due to shape)? If I didn't know better I would say theG+L tele was more my speed but not that many sounds (not all that tele like, but I didn't have more time to spend there) LASTLY, the medium jumbo frets aren't so kind to me either NOT awful, but again, felt limiing - skinny fingers here, not meaty at all. Again, sorry for rambling, but your thoughts are really all have other than my own narrowed horizon. Thanks much!
My experience with several different guitars with differing neck sizes is that it takes a little while of playing to switch from one to the other. I miss a lot of notes until my hands get used to it. Usually going from wider to narrower. My PRS Paul Allender has the best neck feel of all the guitars but for sound I prefer the Les Paul so I play the LP a bit more often. The LP has a larger neck feel so when I switch to the PRS of a Strat I sounds pretty awful for a while.
Ok one last question about this Mira and I will put all reading these out their misery. Now, I may be escorted right out of the PRS forum for this one, but I'm willing to take the risk: Has anyone ever had the back of the neck sanded to get that cruddy gloss paint off if it (Of course, I know the resale is down the tubes. Can you tell I came from a "Fender world" in my last life yet)? ;-)
I've personally never sanded a neck down. I'm assuming you mean because it's sticky. I don't find the necks sticky. If they are then just play it for a while, the stickiness will go away. Gibsons had that same problem but I find you don't hear it much with prs.

You could also try some polish on the back of the neck as well. I used to just spray mine with Pledge.
Doreen - just a few quick things, hopefully not to add to any confusion or indecisiveness:
1) I have a Taylor 314CE which I play infrequently so when I switch to that, I feel my fingers are all scrunched together - it does take some getting used to, guess that comes with the territory.
2) If you want to stick with a 22-fret guitar, you could look for a used Custom 22 (generally available with a Wide Thin neck) or a CE 22 (bolt-on - also available with a Wide Thin neck until 2001 or so). That won't do anything to address the width, but maybe the thinner feel would help?
3) "Core" Miras (24-fret) were available with a Wide Thin profile also
4) The CE bolt-ons (there are both CE24s and CE22s) have a more "natural" feel...or maybe a rosewood neck for more au naturel?
Although the mega-guitar-chains can be evil, they generally have a pretty liberal return policy - sometimes you can return one to your "local" store even if you didn't buy one there. There are alot of good folks that work at those chains, and if you get a hold of a helpful one, you can minimize your risk up-front on a used instrument, and pretty much have a 30-day in-home test drive of the instrument. I haven't abused the chain policies, but I certainly have taken advantage of it, and the best way to test drive is on your home turf. SO I guess what I am saying is that it would be pretty easy, and minimally risky, to find used pieces online and try one or two out at home.
Sounds like you really WANT to love the S2 Mira, but it just may not be the right guitar for you at the end of the day if it just doesn't feel right.

New to the forum, and I'm also guessing you are worried the neck will be sticky. I recently bought an S2 Mira and on mine at least the finish is very slick and smooth feeling. I've hit it with some PRS guitar polish a couple of times and it couldn't be nicer. I too come from a mostly Fender background and in all honesty the neck on my Mira is probably the best feeling, quickest playing I have ever had, I just think it takes a little time with any new guitar to get 100% comfortable. After a week of playing it my Mira became my favorite guitar by far.
It's obvious that this is the wrong guitar for you.
First, you've already posted that the neck's spec doesn't feel right to your hand. Second, you don't care for the finish on the neck (though PRS has models with a satin finished neck that feels like bare wood, the Pattern Regular neck on the S2 Mira is probably their narrowest width, someone correct me if I'm wrong). Third, the string tension isn't comfortable for you.
Just put different pickups on your Fender! You'll have the neck you like, and be done with it.
To buy a new guitar, and have the wrong neck feel for your hands, the wrong string tension feel for your fingers, and a neck that has to be sanded down to feel good for you is absolutely crazy, in my opinion.
actually the Taylors have a 1 3/4 nut width on USA Solid wood guitars and the laminates 200 series on down have a 1 11/16 which are all wider than the PRS pattern reg neck on the S2. now the PRS has a 10" radius. the Taylor acoustic a much flatter 15" and usually Tele`s have 9" but a narrow feel which I get way too crammed up on. I have long skinny fingers. I prefer the wide fat or pattern necks but can play the Patter reg just fine. the width difference Paul said was about that of an A string.

There's a product called Micro Mesh, (you can get it at StewMac) that'll take down the gloss and stickiness. It'll make it satin smooth. Best thing is, if you want, you and you the finer grit to polish it right back to glossy, if you want.
Here's what it looks like sanded smooth
Hope this helps
Have you considered the new Zach Myers SE Semi Hollow?
It has a satin finish neck...
No yucky paint...
Micromesh comes in several different grits, like any sandpaper-type abrasive. The grit will matter because if it's too fine, it won't remove enough finish, and if it's too coarse, it'll remove too much finish, and it won't be smooth enough.
So you'd definitely want to talk to someone at Stew Mac before ordering the product (you can also buy micromesh at most woodworking shops as well).
Don't be afraid to go back and play it again. It may have just been one of those days. Ironically, that's what happened to me when I tried my Mira - I went and played it, and it was utter crap. I didn't like the sound at all. Could not figure out why when everyone else was raving about it. Even played it through the same model amp that I had. But it was also an amp I struggled with, so I wrote down my settings and went back a couple days later, and everything was different and much better.
But if you still don't like it, listen to yourself - don't try to talk yourself into liking it.
"I watched approximately 45 seconds of 'Rock Of Ages'. It was like getting punched in the soul." - Abby Krizner
Schefmann and Leeasam, you're right. The Mira just wasn't for me. I LOVED the sound of that guitar! Very responsive to fingerpicking, all that..and LIGHT, to boot....just not for me. I don't know what to say when the specs say your Taylor isn't as wide, but when I'm playing that Mira it seemed huge. The hollowbody PRS are more than I can swing, but never thought of the SE version...yet. I did like the G and L tele (at least the neck) but I know I've sailed to distant shores on this forum with that. Cantank. Carl, It's off to the evil's lair I go trying to glean what I can, but they only carry the SEs and the lower ranked G and Ls (not that that's a bad thing, but by the time you swap out lower output pickups or 'poopy pots' you might as well take the plunge). Thanks for the help once again. YOu saved me over a grand and buyers remorse (and back to my Taylor I go). ;-)
Don't tell anyone on this forum that I said this, but check out an used Taylor Solidbody Standard. Used, you can find them for under a grand. I cannot say enough good things about mine--I've even been looking to pick up another as a backup. Mine has their HD mini-buckers and it is a total blues monster, but with added flexibility. It doesn't hurt that it is totally gorgeous. Since you already love Taylor necks, I'm sure you'd get along fine with this one. Seriously. It is a monster guitar on the used market. I would suggest sticking with the mini-buckers, as I didn't like their full-sized ones, and I LOVE the HD minis.

Did we switch forums all of a sudden???
A Taylor electric is something I never considered. I haven't heard one thing about them really.... tell me (I will switch back to PRS discussion when they make a neck that fits MY hands) ;-)

Nine new exhibits debut at San Diego International Airport
As an abstract painter, Kareem Ralph Amins images and patterns textural patterns distinctively creates a contrasting color palette brought to life bountifully with warm and neutral colors. Amin uses charcoal and oil on the surface of the canvas and experiments with layering patterns that become augmented by one medium and loosened with another medium. Mysterious figures begin to emerge through an interlacing of patterns and a depth of layering.
Nine new temporary art exhibits have opened at San Diego International Airport. The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority has a regular schedule of exhibits and performances that engage travelers and enhance the airport environment. These latest exhibits offer guests a glimpse into San Diegos sculptural history, a rhapsody of textiles and a dynamic new way to appreciate the printed word.
Birth of the New by Kareem Ralph Amin
Through May 2013; Terminal 2 East, Pre-security
As an abstract painter, Kareem Ralph Amins images and patterns textural patterns distinctively creates a contrasting color palette brought to life bountifully with warm and neutral colors. Amin uses charcoal and oil on the surface of the canvas and experiments with layering patterns that become augmented by one medium and loosened with another medium. Mysterious figures begin to emerge through an interlacing of patterns and a depth of layering.
To Sit by Dominique Houriet Through April 2013;
Terminal 2 East, Gate 22 Hold Room
The chair is another means for this artist to express his passion for art and design. The challenge is to find the balance between the aesthetic and function of each piece. Each one is a handcrafted treasure. Originally from the Texas hill country, Dominique Houriet moved to San Diego after receiving his Master of Architecture degree. He has been creating art, practicing architectural design and construction for more than nine years in Southern California and Mexico.
Geometry of Curves by Charlotte Bird Through February 2013;
Terminal 2 East, Post-security
Charlotte Bird has been creating textile-based artwork for 25 years. This work captures the possibilities at both the microscopic level and as seen by the Hubble telescope. Her art quilts and mixed media sculptures often recall universal forms like the circle and spiral. Time, process and nature are persistent themes.
Sensational Silks: Exploring Color by the San Diego Silk Guild
Through February 2013; Commuter Terminal, Pre-security
The artwork in this exhibit, featuring creations by the San Diego Silk Guild, began as white fabric. The dyeing process allows the pieces to become an art form one can wear and also allows for the creation of sculptural pieces for home or commercial applications. The San Diego Silk Guild formed in 2007, as a local chapter of Silk Painters International, Inc., with a mission to further silk art through outreach, exhibits and workshops.
Chromatic Cityscape by Lee Sie Through February 2013;
Commuter Terminal Exhibit Wall, Pre-security
This exhibit presents iconic views of San Diego, captured by photographer Lee Sie. The built and natural environments serve as accompaniment to each composition, acting as the rhythm section, giving form and support. But the colors play the leading role: the yellow of sunrise or the pink and purple hues of sunset become concerto scenes through which primary colors carry the melody and dominate the mood.
Snapshot in Sculpture by Objects USA
Through February 2013; Terminal 2 West, Pre-security
This exhibit of objects helps us observe what modernism looked like in San Diego in the decades after World War II. Recently, collectors such as Dave Hampton, Steve Aldana and Ron Kerner of ObjectsUSA have renewed interest in locally made midcentury modern art. Hampton has selected works from local collections to reacquaint viewers with San Diego's midcentury art in three dimensions.
Printing Before Digital by the Bay Park Press
Through February 2013; Terminal 2 East, Pre-security
The Bay Park Press Gallery presents several print and artist book exhibitions each year representing local, regional and national artists. This exhibit features a variety of unique items from their collection such as handmade, hand-printed artist books; printmaking materials and letterpress projects. Each piece is an original work of art.
The Art of Polymer Clay: New Jewelry in a New Medium by Mingei International Museum Through February 2013; Terminal 2 West, Post-security
This exhibit showcases beads and adornment created by polymer masters, including Pier Voulkos, Tory Hughes and Cynthia Toops. A synthetic modeling compound, polymer clay is a unique, contemporary and amazingly adaptable art material. Its range seems limitless and is used today to create beads, jewelry, sculpture, dolls, books, mosaics, vessels and wall art. The museum is dedicated to furthering understanding of art of the people (mingei) from all eras and cultures of the world and features dynamic, changing exhibitions of folk art, craft and design.
Trash? Look Again by the New Childrens Museum
Through February 2013; Terminal 2 East, Pre-security`
This exhibit utilizes repurposed materials in imaginative ways and encourages viewers to examine how trash can be used as material for making art. Based on the theme of the museums current exhibition, TRASH, this mural is composed of more than 1,500 recycled items and depicts San Diegos landmarks and natural beauty. The piece was created by museum visitors who participated in their yearly Diversity Day event celebrating San Diegos rich, diverse culture.

Publisher's Description
This is a simple electronic compass and speedometer ideal for use in your car or boat. It uses the iPhone GPS to determine heading and speed and displays in either metric or US units.
(Note: As with ANY gps based compass, you must be moving for direction of travel to be computed as it is based upon change in position coordinates.
ALSO: This obviously requires a GPS so this won't work on first generation iPhone or the iPod Touch.)
-Large easy to read numeric display of speed.
-Dual mode scale:
--Scale rotates with heading at the 12 o'clock position.
--Or, scale is "North up" with a heading arrow that rotates around the scale.
-US or Metric units dynamically selectable: Miles per hour, Kilometers per hour, Knots.
-Readout of current lat/lon in the lower left of the screen.
-Pulsing "star" confirms GPS update activity.
What's new in this version:
-Added compass scale mode to take advantage of the magnetic heading sensor in the 3GS. Still retains GPS direction mode as an option for difficult magnetic dash environments.
-Improved style of UI buttons

In first phase of distribution this academic year
Nearly 28,000 Plus-Two students of 152 schools in the city will receive free laptops in the first phase of distribution this academic year.
Officials of the departments of School Education, Collegiate Education and Technical Education and from Anna University on Tuesday participated in the first meeting organised at Ripon Building to chalk out a strategy for the distribution that is set to begin on September 15.
The Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu has drawn up technical requirements for the laptops to be distributed. The Chennai Corporation has been asked to coordinate the distribution of free laptops and ensure prompt distribution in the city.
The beneficiaries in Chennai would include those from 32 Chennai Schools, 97 government-aided schools and 23 government schools. Plus-one students of these schools would receive laptops only in the second phase.
First and third year students of six government arts and science colleges and 14 government-aided colleges in the city would be covered in the first phase.
Distribution of laptops to second year students of the arts and science colleges in the city would be carried out in the second phase.
Second and fourth year students of three government engineering colleges in the city are eligible to receive the free laptops under the first phase of distribution.
Nearly 3,500 engineering students of the College of Engineering Guindy, AC Tech and School of Architecture and Planning would benefit from the scheme in the city in the first phase.
First and third year students of 14 polytechnics in the city have also been identified for the first phase of distribution in 2011-2012.

Autonomous Robots
The primary goal of Autonomous Robots is to report on the theory and
applications of robotic systems capable of some degree of self-sufficiency.
Thus, the journal is aimed at the growing trend in robotics toward mobility,
intelligence and autonomy in an unstructured world. This trend has been made
possible by small, inexpensive, high-performance computers. The term `robot'
implies that the systems described here are capable of performing purposeful
behaviors in the real world. They obtain inputs from the world through
sensors and act upon the world through actuators. The connection between
sensing and actuation may be simple signal processing or it may involve
complex decision making, goal interpretation and other aspects of reasoning.
Most autonomous systems display some form of mobility: on land, under water,
in the air or in space. The mobility may make use of wheels, legs, fins,
rotors or other actuators. The focus is on the ability to move and be
self-sufficient, not on whether the system is an imitation of biology. Of
course, biological models for robotic systems are of major interest to the
journal since living systems are prototypes for autonomous behavior.
Autonomous robots must be able to perform in the world. Hence, publication
preference will be given to papers which include performance data on actual
robots in the real world. Papers which include only simulation results will
be considered for publication, but with a lower priority. Such papers should
also include a section entitled `The path to implementation', where the
transition from simulation to real world is discussed.

You visit your website and it all looks fine, yet your rankings have plummeted and you don't know why. You notice a ton of traffic from strange places and your bounce rate has soared to new heights. You've been hacked.
Even the most sophisticated sites on the Internet and data centers, such as Target, banks and others are getting hacked – I'm sure you've read about them in the news. And Adobe and Snapchat were recently in the news after being hacked.
Recently, one of my client's sites was hacked. Everything looked fine; we had just updated the programs and added a respected security plugin to the website the week before. I was examining the schema code through Google's Webmaster site to make sure the schema was populating correctly throughout the blog when I noticed the numbers going from a reasonable amount that mirrored the number of blog posts, to a number that reached nearly 7,000.
Drilling down I found that there were nearly 7,000 new pages added to the site in just a matter of days. There were no other indications that the site had been hacked.
The site had not been breached through the admin panel so I ran some tests to evaluate the server (not one of ours) and found that the operating system was out of date and the file structure was set up with out some basic security measures.
The truth is, unless you or someone on your behalf is tracking your analytics and reviewing your Webmaster account regularly, you may be host to some nasty stuff and not even know it.
How does this even happen? Read more…
Lately I've been faced with several clients asking the same question or seeking advice as to where to start with their marketing. There is a general sense of being overwhelmed with options and marketing tactics that all seem to scream 'do me now'.
Limited budgets and staff establishes that doing everything now is not an option, and so how does one decide what to do first or what is a logical progression? And while I would love nothing more than to provide a 1-2-3 guide that could be universal, it just isn't possible. This coupled with an insatiable drive to be successful leads to an exasperated state of impatience to see results, often drives owners and marketing managers to engage in shotgun marketing tactics.

Every business owner that I know is focused on numbers. They either feed off of them daily or procrastinate exploring them. Regardless of a business owner's relationship to numbers, you can be sure that their business data influences their mood on any given day.
In business, it is always about the numbers. But which numbers should you be looking at?
I get exposed to a lot of data in my line of work. Not just the data for Bumblebee, but more so the data for my clients. I see web traffic analytics data, lead tracking data, social post analytics, email campaign data, sales data, and so on.
I also learned something about numbers a long time ago – we really don't speak the same language.
I was never good at math in school and I won't even discuss my performance in the college statistics class I took my sophomore year. And in my early days of selling, I would break into a sweat when my boss would ask "what's the GP on that project?" And I won't even describe my mental condition when told "I need your projected sales for next quarter."
What I learned about my relationship with numbers was that I always had a kind of gut feeling about them. While I couldn't do the math and calculations with any style or grace, I always had a good sense about them. What I also learned about numbers is that we aren't always paying attention to the numbers that matter when it comes to improving outcomes, and that is what I want to explore through this post.

You might have the nagging sensation that your website is overdue for a refresh or possibly even a complete do-over; yet you procrastinate.
Memories of the pain and suffering you experienced the last time or possibly even the last few times; the last thing you want to do is repeat that experience.
I can't say that I blame you, but you really shouldn't use that as an excuse to not do what is best to grow your company. Have heart and read through as I have some suggestions to help you, but first, let's see if you need to undergo a refresh or redesign.
I still hear that social media is a waste of time from attendees in a workshop, students in a business class, at business-networking events, and sometimes at a chance meeting.
There are still large groups of entrepreneurs and solopreneurs that have yet to try social media. Or, they have tried social media and found it to be a total waste of their time.
Well, I love a challenge so I will often ask them about which social networks they joined and what they did with them. The answers are relatively the same each time.
'Well, we set up the profiles and posted things about the company, product or service.' They might have even set up a coupon or campaign of some sort. Yet, nothing materialized. I even hear what a waste of time blogging is, and again, when asked to describe their efforts it goes like this – 'we set up a blog and hired someone to write posts using our keywords.'
I have no doubt that these efforts failed to earn any results. In support of the further complaints of social media being a waste of time, the point is that no time was really spent and no real effort invested, and as the old profits of yore said, 'you reap what you sow'.

Just had to share my excitement with ya...
First a little backgrond info:
I am still relatively new to this whole scene.
I do not presently own a handgun but have narrowed my search and I do not currently have a CCW permit.
Well, I have finally taken the required classroom instruction and just today, have taken the required range session.
The instructor, Mr. John Ross, allows his students to shoot HIS guns at HIS personal outdoor range.
I got to shoot my fill of .22 target pistols, 9mm Glocks and Sigs, .357 revolvers (both full size and snubby) and others I've already forgotten.
Some of the most exciting guns though, were the fully automatic ones.
John owns quite a variety of machine guns- no less than half a dozen.
One in particular that'll almost make you mess yourself is a Glock 18.
Not really bigger than the G17 but man! Hang on tight cause this baby raps out bullets faster than I could even imagine!
Anyway, I've had one heck of a handgun/firearm day and just needed to share.
Many thanks to John for a great training session and the opportunity to shoot some really cool guns!
(And just for the record, I was hitting the targets in the right places with everything, which just adds to my excitement.)
So now I'm qualified to apply for the Missouri CCW permit. Woohoo!

Michaelis is new AD for HHS
Published on -4/25/2014, 10:31 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By AUSTIN COLBERT
It wasn't an easy decision for Chris Michaelis to stop coaching after the 2013 spring season. But after 17 years of leading the Hays High School girls' soccer team and 16 leading the boys', an opportunity presented itself for Michaelis to get involved on the administrative side and he didn't want to pass it up.
"I have been involved with coaching for over 20 years throughout my teaching career. I've spent a lot of time with that and just felt like it was time for a change for me, professionally," Michaelis said. "I knew if I stayed in coaching it would probably be a long, long time before an opportunity would come, and I wanted to be ready if it presented itself."
Michaelis stepped into the role of Event Coordinator for Hays High this season. Instead of being on the sideline coaching, he helps set up events and eases the burden of the school's top administrators, including Athletic Director Clint Albers.
Then last month Albers announced he was going to take the AD job at Olathe South High School, beginning this summer. Hays High and Principal Marty Straub didn't wait long to find a replacement for Albers, opting to go with Michaelis despite his limited experience as an administrator.
Even so, Albers has full confidence Michaelis will be able to handle the position.
"He has shadowed me a little bit already this year from the event supervisor position. He has helped set up for events and tear down after events. He has seen that process," Albers said. "He's had some good experiences that way and taken baby steps. I think he is ready for this position and it's something that he is looking forward to doing and has trained for."
Michaelis takes pride in the fact he has battled through what he called a "non-traditional route in education." A graduate of Lyons High School, Michaelis got his start by earning his associate's from Barton Community College in Great Bend before taking time off of school to work.
He then joined the Army and spent five years on active duty and was stationed in Germany for a time. Upon his release, Michaelis returned to school and earned his bachelor's from Bethany College before he started teaching for the Manhattan Catholic Schools and later Manhattan High School.
After starting work on a masters degree at Kansas State University, it was years before Michaelis finally finished it, earning his graduate degree in school administration from Fort Hays State University in 2011.
"One thing, if I can be bold and say I'm proud of, is I've persevered through a lot of my own created obstacles," Michaelis said. "Between going to school and the military, I don't do things the easiest way. I hope people see that things aren't always easy but we make them positive or negative. And I've chosen in my mind to at least make things positive."
Michaelis will officially take over Albers' role as AD/Assistant Principal on July 1. Until then, there is a lot left in the spring sports season and Michaelis hopes he can soak up as much as possible from Albers.
"Clint's done a tremendous job here as athletic director. He is going to be a great mentor watching him and following him. I look forward to working with him the last few months he is here and he is definitely going to shed some light for me," Michaelis said.
"I just appreciate what he's done for me, not only as an athletic director, but also being able to help me and assist me and guide me in the upcoming year. He will probably be getting a lot of phone calls from me when he's at Olathe South."

Other guides I have found: (you can search these)
The Grumpy Guide to Wattpad -- written by TheOrangutan
So often times I get asked for advice on how to write well. Granted I am no authority, but I do feel as though I have something to offer to the writing community. So here are my general tips for writing well, and I will add more as they come to me.
Proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation
I'm not going to spend too much time on this one, but at least make a decent effort to make your writing readable. If you are unsure, google is your best friend. I will say that I see this error a lot when it comes to dialogue. There are many pages on the internet that will show you how to write dialogue correctly.
Spoon feeding information to the reader
Often times I see, especially at the beginning, where a writer is pretty much cramming a whole lot of information down the reader's throat. Here is an example:
The world ended in 2023. That is for most of us. The scientist, the few that remained, hid in their bunkers, trying desperately to come up with a solution. Meanwhile the world was overrun by zombies. It started out in one town, a simple sneeze, that soon had everybody infected. The scientists decided that only a robotic army of artificial intelligence could defeat them. So I was born. etc. etc. etc.
As you can see, while the above example makes for a fairly decent premise, it makes for poor reading. Information should be sprinkled lightly throughout your story, like powdered sugar. Your reader should be begging for more, anxiously flipping pages to discover the "why" of your story.
Telling, not showing
Here is another one that is easy to mess up on. Nobody wants to be told a story, they want to see it for themselves. An example:
Mary was a bully at school.
In the above example the writer is pretty much telling us the information. We never fully see it for ourselves. Compare that to the following example:
When Mary walked down the halls of school, the other children either ran, or tried to hide their lunch money. There wasn't a kid that hadn't been bruised by her random beatings. Even the teachers eyed her with suspiscion and gave her a wide berth.
How much description to use
I was recently asked how much description to use when writing. There is a lovely response below in the comments sections that makes some good points. You should also check that out. I will summarize of what the author said and add some of my own points.
Everybody's writing style is different. Part of writing is finding your style, or voice, as some would call it. Some authors use a lot of description, others like myself, are minimalists. When writing down descriptions, I end up asking myself a couple of questions.
Does this help further the plot? Does this help to set the scene? Does this help establish the character?
Ask yourself if what you have written is truly necessary. Writing a full paragraph about the vase in corner of the room might be pointless. Unless of course the vase itself was part of the plot, or revealed something about the character. Try this on for size:
Joe slumped down in his office chair and snatched up the picture in front of him. It was horrendously ugly. Nothing more than maccaroni pasted around the edges of the frame mixed with large globs of now dried glue. At the bottom, in a child's handwriting, were the words "I love you daddy" written in crayon.

SAP Launches New Sustainability Solutions In The Cloud To Help Ensure Product Safety
SAP Product Steward Network allows suppliers and manufacturers to collaborate immediately. They can quickly work together to make the appropriate disclosures, find the right substitutes or adapt product designs quickly based on available, compliant materials. By connecting suppliers in a cloud-based network, companies can easily exchange compliance and material data. New product information can be uploaded once and updated across the cloud so all participants in the network can immediately view and act on it. The offering also works with SAP® Business Suite software and takes advantage of all on-premise data it contains.
New On-Demand Content Service for Product Safety DocumentsProcess industries such as chemical or pharmaceutical manufacturers must continuously develop and update safety data sheets and labels to stay in compliance. Each of these documents can take from days to weeks to develop, and a midsize chemical manufacturer can spend up to 3 million dollars yearly on this time-consuming business process. With SAP EHS Regulatory Documentation OnDemand, manufacturers no longer have to author their own safety data sheets.
By networking with the customer's on-premise EHS solution, the content service from SAP takes the customers' product data, generates country-specific data sheets and labels in the cloud and then delivers the documents back to the customer. Keeping current with changes in global regulations, SAP estimates that the content service can decrease ongoing safety data sheet costs by up to 50 percent and free up precious resources to focus on more strategic projects.
"SAP uniquely can offer customers a powerful hybrid model that helps drive down costs of compliance while freeing up resources to focus on what matters most — strategic innovation," said Peter Maier, senior vice president, Energy and Natural Resources Solutions, SAP. "Our product safety solutions already touch 5 trillion dollars of all the world's manufactured goods. With so many customers across the supply chain already using SAP — and the strength of our combined cloud and on-premise strategy — we are playing a central role in creating a global business network that lets companies collaborate to run better and protect the triple bottom line."

A tablet with the power of a PC
- Published: 16 Jan 2013 at 00.00 | Viewed: 3,227 | Comments: 0
- Newspaper section: Life
- Writer: Sithikorn Wongwudthianun
The Acer Iconia W700 shows us how a huge PC can be shrunk into tablet form and with Windows 8, and the line between tablets and laptops is thinner than ever. But is this tablet powerful enough to be your next PC?
How powerful is it? We're talking about a 1.8-GHz Core i3 CPU, 4GB of RAM, 64GB SSD storage, Intel HD 4000 GPU and a 4850 mAh battery. The rest of the specs include an 11.6-inch Full-HD, touchscreen display, 5(rear)/1.3(front) megapixel cameras, a micro-HDMI port and a full-size USB 3.0 port. These are laptop-grade specifications.
It is a tablet powerful enough to run Windows 8 64-bit and it lets you run Photoshop CS6, Office 2013, VLC, iTunes, Internet Explorer, Skype etc. at the same time, on the same screen.
Unlike a cut-down OS version for tablets that tampers with its features, you can do serious work on the W700 or even play classic PC games just for fun. Sadly, you can't put a lot of files in only 64GB of storage, unless, of course, you always connect to an external hard drive.
The display produces a 1920x1080 sharp and colourful picture. Watching a 1080p movie, The Dark Knight Rises was a great pleasure for me _ I could roll over in bed watching the movie without losing clarity because of its wide viewing angles. Unfortunately, the display doesn't do well in direct sunlight.
I tried Facebooking on a footpath and could not see my newsfeed. And since it is a Full-HD display, the icons and other items on Windows desktop become too small and difficult to target with a finger.
The quality of the 5-megapixel rear camera didn't meet my expectations. Still photos are too grainy and blurry for my tastes. Videos recorded at 1080p seem like they come from a poor VGA-quality camera while the video playback is as not smooth as it should be.
At over 900g, the Iconia W700 is heavy and thick for a tablet. The smaller 9.7-inch display iPad weighs a mere 652g. The W700 quickly becomes uncomfortable to hold for extended periods of time. Look on the bright side, it is pretty good for a daily workout.
Perhaps Acer realises this because they have bundled a docking station. And since typing a document using a touchscreen can quickly become frustrating, the dock lets you slide the tablet into a desktop-like position.
By docking the tablet, you will gain two more USB 3.0 ports which are very useful. It comes with a kickstand that can be inserted horizontally or vertically, allowing you to view the tablet in either portrait or landscape mode. Note: There is a rotation switch on the side that lets you choose whether you want auto rotation or not.
The W700's fan was noticeable throughout the test and it is quite silly to have fans in a tablet. Surprisingly, given its powerful hardware, the W700 was only slightly warm after continuous 5-hour movie playback (when the battery is completely drained).
Now for the software. The Windows 8 desktop mode looks almost identical to its predecessor but has no Start Menu. Microsoft has added a new finger-friendly User Interface (UI) called Live Tiles and here are some of the sequences you must remember in order to use it.
In Live Tiles UI, to close an open app, tap and drag it from the top of the screen to the bottom. To cycle through open apps, swipe your finger from the left side of the screen toward the centre, but if you happen to do this while keeping your finger on the app, it will open two apps in split-screen mode.
There is more. Swiping your finger from the right side of the screen launches a settings menu, from which you can return to the Live Tiles UI, search contents and adjust additional settings. Confusing, isn't it? Im confused too! Microsoft, you should simplify this.
You can add more apps to the Start Screen by downloading them from the Windows Store, the selection of apps is very limited when compared with Android or iOS or even traditional Windows. Note: You need a Windows Live account to use the store and some programmes show signs of tardiness and some require a lots of bug fix.
Here, Acer is proving to be ahead of the curve as this is one of the first devices to deliver the full Windows 8 experience on a tablet PC. However, if you're going to spend this much money on a Windows 8 device, you might be better off waiting for a future model. I would recommend it only as a secondary PC for travel or presentations.

More battery theory questions
Looking at the other recent battery thread there is apparently a lot of knowledge on the subject here- way more than I have, so.....
I have about 20 LARGE two volt cells that I salvaged a few years ago. they are about 6" X 3" X 18" - when i first got them they were charged and seemed to have lots of power. Since then I did everything wrong- they've been left discharged over several winters, laid on their side from time to time, etc.
I looked them up online and they were designed to work for 20 years, i think they were installed in a railroad switch.
Right now a group six together just makes my charger freak out.
Anything worth trying? replacing the electrolyte? Charging each one separately?
In over my head?

I was having severe nose bleeds and my skin was very chalky. I ordered this humidifier and was able to boost my inside humidity from 29% to 55% within a few hours. After a few days I am no longer having nose bleeds and my skin is starting to show signs of recovery from the last few months of winter dryness. I highly recommend this item for anyone having issues with dry air in their home. This humidifier is attractive unlike most humidifiers I've seen and it does a great job maintaining moisture in my entire 1800 square foot house.

Humidistat is extremely inaccurate. Poorly fabricated with cheap plastic parts. Humidifier Filter Pad Holder is a real chore to get it to hold the filter. Filters themselves are poorly constructed. Out of water indicator does not work properly. Yes, it does humidify if you don't might a lot of work to get it to work half way properly!! On-line registration for Warranty Protection does not work! Instruction manual inadequate!

I was tired of small humidifiers that I had to fill several times a day. This came, I set it up, filled the containers, and put it on automatic. I now refill the containers about once a day; it takes no time to pick them up and fill them with about 5 gallons of water. I never wonder if I have the correct humidity; it does it automatically. I have it set up in a 32 ft. X 17 ft. room with 14 foot ceilings. The fans are much quieter than what I thought, after reading a previous review. As a matter of fact, I don't even hear them with the pellet stove running. I am so glad I found this and would recommend it to anyone!
Auburn, NH
via sears.com
Does it work? This unit was not my first choice based on the available reviews but I needed something that was in stock locally. Due to the below zero temperatures and the pellet stove running constantly the house was extremely dry. When I pulled this out of the box and filled it with water it had the house back up to 40% humidity overnight. I?m sure we were about 15% prior to that. based on my one week of use, it is functional and does what it says. Quality? The overall manufacturing quality of this unit is pretty poor and I would lay part of the blame on the quality control department (or lack there of). The holes in the water tanks were not even trimmed so there was excess plastic that just looked like **** but didn?t really effect the operation. Loose pieces of plastic in the bottom of the unit. (you really should not have to vacuum something like this out when you get it) The plastic used on the unit is very this and brittle. There is a plastic collar and clip that is located on the float. You should be able to push the clip through the housing to mont the float. I gently compressed the clip and it snapped immediately. Overall, it?s cheap and I don?t think it?s going to be one of those units that you use for ten plus years. It will probably break much sooner. Fan Noise: The fan has three speeds and can also operate in automatic where it will vary the speed based on the humidity set point. When you set it to auto you will find there is no headband in the setting so the fan may continue to jump from low to medium and back based on one percent difference. It?s kind of a pain. Low speed is extremely quiet and you will probably only need this speed once the house has reached the set point that you desire. Medium is a bit louder and you definitely know it?s running but you can still communicate. High speed sounds like a loud air conditioner or a small Mac truck. Use it when you need it but don?t stay in the room without ear plugs. Water tanks. The tanks are easy to remove and refill. Have not had an issue with the spring loaded valves as some people have mentioned. Overall I struggled to give this a rating of three out of five and I only went that high because functionally, it works well but I'm afraid it will not last long based on the material. I would look at the Holmes version prior to this.

I have read several reviews from people who say they were upset because they didn't get the manual or the 2 plungers when they opened the box at home. We just bought one and did the same thing, so I took it back to the store the next day and the salesman opened it up and lifted the top part that is over the filters, and guess what he found inside one of the filters.....yes, it was a plastic bag containing the manual and the "missing" parts. We didn't know enough to remove the top or we would have easily found everything we needed. I'm guessing we are not the only ones this has happened to. Brought it back home and it is working perfectly. No more shocks every time I hit a light switch or the dog!
