# 1. You're right -- "feels" is a linking verb.
# 2. No -- "pay" is plural.
Think of it this way --
He pays a lot for his shoes. (Singular)
They pay a lot for their shoes. (Plural)
So if the subject is plural, the verb is plural? And if the subject is singular, the verb is singular?
I am still struggling with this singular/plural verb assignment. I would like to tell you the directions on the sheet, type the sentences, and tell you what my brain is thinking.
Add s or es to most present-tense verbs when the subject is he, she, it, or a singular noun. Write the present tense verb in each sentence. Then write whether the verb is singular or plural.
Everything costs more nowadays.
My brain: "Everything" means more than one, so the verb "costs" is plural.
People pay ten times as much for sugar.
My brain: "People" means more than one, so pay is a plural verb. But that kind of confuses me because the previous sentence had a verb that ended in "s" and pay doesn't end in s. Does ending in s have anything to do with whether or not a verb is singular or plural?
They ride in cars to go to the next town.
My brain: They means more than one, so ride is a plural verb.
A trip by car takes only a few minutes.
My brain: It is only one trip so the verb is singular even though it ends in s.
Ahhh. I don't know why this is so difficult.
Your thinking on these sentences is excellent. Only singular verbs end in "s." Try using "he" or "they" as subjects when you get confused.
The problem is that a few of our pronouns are confusing as to whether they are singular or plural.
"Everything" is considered singular. So the plural verb "costs" is correct.
This site may help you.
To answer you last question, Lisa, yes.

John Alexander, Our Son
25 September 1987-6 May 2009
A pain without end.
"I think you did your duty.
Unfortunately there are many kinds of loyalty and we cannot serve them all at once. Next time you will make a better choice."
-Le Carre
Sarah. She is beautiful, she is used to being fawned over, loved and certainly misused. Scylla can feel the misuse of this beautiful soul. Scylla loves this wounded soul and Sarah loves his wounded body. So they marry, 15 years ago. Scylla puts Sarah on a pedestal, loves her with the strength of every sun that burns, protects her soul and being.
15 years. Long time. For almost 10 of those years Sarah has stood by while Scylla slowly loses his fight to a brain tumor. Surgery after surgery after surgery. Cut here, remove that, the doctors always know best.
Now, again Sarah marshalls her forces and all his doctors agree; it's time to go back in, to cut Scylla up, replace some bent rods and screws in his spine, replace a screw that has worked itself lose from one of the three plates holding his skull together (I do indeed have a screw loose), maybe a pace- maker for his stomach, then implant a "morphine pump" into his body. Only the anesthesiologist has misgivings. With such damaged lungs that only work 50% he will not put Scylla out for this surgery. So they plan on local anesthesia for the skull plates an epidural for the hard work of cutting through the back muscle. Scylla promises to take the pain it is the one single thing he does well, Scylla has always taken the pain.
Only a few more days to wait. Scylla tells Sarah that this is the end. No matter what happens or what comes he is done with the cutters and all their plans. At some point it just becomes butchery. This is the final time Scylla will be wheeled into the abattoir. They will take no more of Scylla the Rock.
Scylla wants Sarah to run, to leave, to pursue a life. A life not tied to this wreck of a man. Sarah is much younger then Scylla. She is a stunning beauty, olive skin made tawny dark by the Hawaiian sun, huge brown eyes and ink black hair kept short so that Scylla can bite her neck when they hug. Sarah has always been a small smidgen of a woman but now depression has her at 87 pounds. She is wasting away.
As husband and wife Sarah and Scylla have endured hard times by holding each other tight. Now in their grief they have turned inward and their dead son lies between them, a chasm wide and dark. As Scylla reaches for Sarah he can see the shadow of grief fall across her face. Sarah walks in the door, home from work she is crying in her grief. Scylla holds her tight, rocking. He cannot fix this, cannot find the words to comfort his wife when every time she looks at him she sees her dead son. So now this; it is time for you to go Sarah. Go have a life, side step and slip all this pain, find your smile and your joy I absolve you from your oaths and vows and loyalty.
Run Sarah, run. I've been a bad man, I bring pain where ever I go. There is no dishonor in quiting the field when you've been beat all ways up. Time to go girl, you've a life to lead one that doesn't include playing nurse maid to this beaten body.
Surgery Monday. Sarah gets Scylla to forgo this conversation until he begins to heal. As a man, as a husband, Scylla knows that he is responsible for Sarah including her happiness. He will turn to his secret reserves of strength to make Sarah understand. He will win this. He should be alone.
Run Sarah, run.
"A good man knows when to sacrifice himself,
a bad man survives but loses his soul."-Le Carre
"I will be your child to hold
and you be me when I grow old.
The world grows cold,
The heathens rage,
The story's told.
Turn the page."-Anon
Love you more and more
Your writing, as always is a saber, long and slow to the heart.
As a man and husband, you are a human being...that is what a man and husband is...you don't cease to be that when you need care.
Sending many, many prayers to both of you for peace and healing. All my best wishes for your surgery on Monday, Scylla the rock.
John Alexander was a strong and handsome man. I'll bet he was just like his father.
What a lovely lad you two love so much.
As a complete stranger who knows about love and tough times and the side-by-side Life, no matter what....
I don't think Sarah wants to be anywhere else but beside you.
You said it best: "Scylla loves this wounded soul and Sarah loves his wounded body."
Why would anywhere else be better than that? No matter what?
endure, withstand, and survive the surgery.
heal and heal some more, so that your love can grow together again.
As I learn more & more about your , ah, "medical issues", I cannot help but think of Humpty Dumpty...
(A "stomach pacemaker"? )
And what's this, now? :
"The world grows cold,
The heathens rage,
The story's told.
Turn the page."
Heathens raging? I like that better than heavens raging.
I'm learning Faith. Not in any conventional God,
that's for f-ing sure, but in a God with a very bizarre sense of humor
who lays his favorites low to teach them , well,
humility I guess you could call it.
And a healthy respect for His
sense of humor.
(Most of the time,
I do not find it
to be funny at
all...in fact,
if I had
volcanoes at my disposal as does Scyla,
I would jump into one without hesitation....
Still: for some damn reason I feel optimistic for you....I am
rarely wrong....
I am speechless after reading your words here Scylla but I shall be praying on Monday for you and for Sarah. Remember, however, that she needs you as much as you need her "In sickness and in Health". Let her love you Scylla and heal quickly.
She loves you, you are not now or never have been a burden to her. She stays because she loves you, she LOVES you as you are and your pain is shared for the loss of your son. While you think she sees your son in you and is sad, you must know she sees your son in you and sometimes smiles remembering the good as well as the sad.
She stays as any good woman who is well loved, who loves well back will stay with the love of her life. She wants no more from you than to stay beside her and love her. Please do not see yourself as a burden or her as one needing to be free as neither are true.
Please let us know how the surgery goes and come back to us my friend we have much to still talk about.
violent incursions on your tissues? Perhaps
your fingernails? toenails? are they healthy or not?
root canal is like drilling out infectious tissue...
the pain is a good pain...
but you cannot take back her vows without her consent, for she promised you, but she also promised God
sorry, it doesn't work that way
you cannot make her leave if she wishes to stay, that was her choice, her choice, Scylla!
love is a strange thing, vowed love even more so, what the whole of her life should be is a mystery only known to God
listen to Ms. Schuch-Lindsey and dear Rita, you can't deprive Sarah of the husband she chose for herself
pain and sorrow speak too loud, our fears our worries
one day at a time, Scylla, and I know we are asking a lot, but one day at a time, dear friend
(John Alexander is a fine man, is, mind you, as his soul surrounds his parents every day
and you made me laugh with the loose screw, and blush with the neck)
It is indeed a wonder that I don't just rust away like the tin man. Pace maker for my stomach is due to that old gut wound. Grand scar though really one of my best. Sarah wants me to get all my scars tatooed to look like zippers.
Looking forward to the root canal like I am to the hospital Monday; anything to bury some of the pain. I am really getting to old for this shit.
-R- and kisses from Little Boo
I have been dreading reading this because I knew what you were doing. ARRGH, man Sarah is a woman and should be allowed to make her own choices and if you push her away you are going to hurt her more than any other thing on this earth has.
And if Sarah is seeing her son in you that is only because your son most likely looked like you. Scylla dear please consider that she needs you. She lost her son, don't take yourself away from her also. She needs your love. She chose you, let her chose to stay.
I will be thinking of you and Sarah in this time of need. I am worried.
obviously. no one would patch a dog up like ye.
i would advise no heavy lifting for awhile.
sure you can pick up that
whispy speck of a gal,
obviously. no one would patch a dog up like ye.
i would advise no heavy lifting for awhile.
sure you can pick up that
whispy speck of a gal,
All my prayers, such as they are, for you my friend.
The first I read of you, you were on a beach, contemplating the waves breaking over your head weighed down with metal & fatigue.
I remember you turned around.
Your giving to others set the bar, Scylla.
Please write as soon as you can
Much love, Scylla ... much love to you my friend.
I suspect I am one of many. But you were the first to respond on my blog. It shows what a dedicated person you truly are
Here is the email:
O my GOD
You are ok?
This entire blog was in the FAMILY waiting area with Sarah when you had surgery.
I got on my blog just to see if I needed to respond to anyone.
And there you were. You are such a devoted friend father and husband. Even if your child is not here to tell you.
We all love you so dearly.
Why don't you start a post with just all your emails and PM's (not PMS)
Always and forever
he came back to us. to who? to sarah.
to me. to ak. to whoever else is in his
circle of friends...
they beat us, those jap gals. good. too bad bout their tsunami
and when they went
so many ways to take that word, radio
or active
too many. man needs a , what, a damn other guy to listen to
As for the mountain...my friend is attempting his first hike, and the conditions are scary...Mt. Washington is a tough mofo. If you go there, I will meet you at the bottom with hymns and prayers - and a promise that you come back down.
aim- Good luck to your friend. Much like the ocean Mt. Washington is a killer and any hiker must remember that fact. In 30 years (man I'm old) of climbing Mt. Wash with some regularity I've only had a handful of "threatening" climbs. It looks now like Sarah and I will miss a climb this season due to my rehab, but if not then absolutely early next spring. We will take that part of our son to the summit as he asked.
I swore that oath to Alec and I will stay true, though I never promised to climb down. I know I must and Sarah will see that I do. Would love to meet you at the bottom with hymns and prayers for those we love and maybe some hot coffee.
You and Sarah know a love that few have known
Selfless and true
I too will send all the healing energy and love I have
to you on Monday
You are both radiant mirrors of love

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The Coast Guard is replacing the admiral who
has been the federal on-scene coordinator since an oil rig exploded
and millions of gallons of crude leaked into the Gulf.
The spill's unified command center said in a news release
Tuesday that Rear Adm. Mary Landry will return to duties as
commandant of the 8th Coast Guard District in New Orleans to focus
on hurricane season preparations.
Her replacement is Rear Adm. James Watson, who joined Landry as
deputy on-scene coordinator three days after the rig exploded April
Coast Guard commandant Adm. Robert Papp says in a statement that
Landry's relief had been planned since the start of the response.
Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the national incident commander,
praised Landry's performance.

Madigan passed the bar to start her comedy career
Back before Kathleen Madigan was packing clubs and theaters as a stand-up comedian, she was making people laugh behind a bar in St. Louis. There were a lot of locals at the bar, and one in particular, a guy named Bill, used to come in every Monday when the horse track was closed. He wrote the racing picks for the local paper and was considered a "hard gambler," according to Madigan. He wore a horseshoe ring and had a tough demeanor. No one thought Bill could laugh.
But Madigan made Bill laugh "all the time," she says. "He was the nicest guy in the world. He just looked serious."
Confident that her regulars found her funny, Madigan decided one night to go next door and see if she could make a whole crowd laugh at a stand-up comedy open mike. "I was like, 'Wait a minute, I can make money doing this?'" she says. "At work I'm doing that part for free. I'm making money because I'm pouring drinks. But I could just stop pouring drinks? That'd be great!"
With Kathleen Madigan, what you see is what you get
Interviewing comedians on the phone can be a pretty dicey proposition. Sometimes you get one who tries to do his act for you. Other times you get some surly guy who'd rather be at the dentist than talking with you. With Kathleen Madigan, you pretty much get Kathleen Madigan, that same lady you see on late-night talk shows and comedy specials. Her act really isn't an act; that's just who she is.
That surprises people sometimes when they run into her in the airport or the grocery store. They expect her to be funny all the time and, for the most part, she is. Continue reading
No frills, just funny: Kathleen Madigan talks Madigan Again, her 2013 stand-up special
Kathleen Madigan opens her latest stand-up comedy special, Madigan Again in Detroit first with Lewis Black by her side on a street in front of the Monument to Joe Louis, then a minute later onstage being introduced by Black. To which she responded, in kind: "How about one big hand for a guy working for $500 tonight!"
Madigan's friendship with Black comes up again at the tail end of the hour, in which she recounts her first (and potentially last) trip aboard a cruise ship to perform with him. She pays the kindness forward to other comedians, as she told The Comic's Comic in an interview this month to coincide with the release of Madigan Again in physical and digital audio/video formats (it premiered earlier this year via Netflix).

Kathleen Madigan talks Netflix, friend Lewis Black, Sally Lunchbox, more
Over the past decade, Kathleen Madigan has quietly become one of the country's most successful comedians. Although she's been on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno 15 times, Late Show with David Letterman six times, Conan twice, the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (and more), it's not like she's she has own talk show. And yet, she's in the midst of criss-crossing the country performing at our nation's finer theaters– all on the strength of her stand-up skills. It comes on the heels of her newest hour special Madigan Again, taped at the Royal Oak Theater in Detroit this past May. It's currently available exclusively on Netflix and will be released on iTunes, CD and DVD on Oct. 8. I recently chatted with Kathleen about the new special, about her close friend Lewis Black (who opened for Kathleen for her special), about her early life in a Missouri suburb and much more. Check it out below! And be sure to catch Kathleen when she returns to Late Show with David Letterman this Friday, Sept. 27. Continue reading
Talking to Kathleen Madigan About Her New Standup Special, How Her Shows Are Like Bar Conversations, and Why She's Not Part of the Scene
A 25-year veteran of standup, Kathleen Madigan may be one of the most consistently great storytellers in comedy. Her third standup special, Madigan Again, premièred earlier this month on Netflix and will be available for download later this the year. She can also be seen on The Late Show with David Letterman next Friday, Sept. 27. I got the chance to talk to her over the phone recently about getting invited over to people's houses, not knowing real jokes, and why she and Lewis Black have never been in the cool kids' club.

"Fun Game, but Seriously Flawed..."
1) The game can be played fro free or you can spend a little money to improve the team.
2) The stats are an interesting aspect of the game for those who like to crunch numbers and see what affect more attributed skills have in results on the field.
3) Daily Bowl competition has a daily leader board for those trying to win the daily prizes of more gold coin and Big Bucks to improve the team.Cons
1) Flawed game mechanics that seriously limit the game's fun factor. Example: A team trying to kick a 65 yard field goal on first down late in the game, but with plenty of time on the clock for no reason when they had all three time outs left and could have worked the ball closer for an easier field goal or scored a touchdown instead.
2) If you invest the time and effort into putting a good team on the field and use all the right impact cards and have all platinum players (best and most expensive), you still regularly lose to sub-par teams with gold, silver, and bronze players. This makes zero sense.
3) Players will run out of bounds for no reason with no one close behind them, even with plenty of time on the clock.
4) With a platinum player with full strength, a player cannot pull of of a block from a silver or gold player with much lower strength most of the time, even if they do not have bonus blocking impact cards.
5) These flaws will cost you Daily Bowls and their rewards.Summary
Game is fun, but do not spend real money on it until they fix the above flaws because you don't have to. If you field a sub-par team, you have a chance, as illogical as it is, to beat teams fielding all platinum players.
The logical bugs where a team tries to kick a 65 yard field goal on first down will really tick you off and if you spend money on this game you will be very angry with the obvious shortcomings in the game logic area.
My advice to you:
start the game by buying 150 gold coin card packs, put a team of bronze players on the field and advance those players skills in the two or three main attributes each position requires based on your personal knowledge of football. Example: Running backs should have speed first, then agility to avoid tackles, followed by hands to not fumble, whereas defensive linemen should have strength to avoid being blocked, and speed to pass rush the QB. If a player gets hurt, sell that player's card instead of paying the 100 gold coins to fix him. Watch movies to gain free gold coins. Do not buy silver packs for any reason whatsoever. they cost 1000 gold coins and are basically useless, except for getting silver players, which you should skip and instead focus on gold players and buy gold packs for 10 Big Bucks. You should go to the free bucks link to gain Big Bucks by downloading apps and doing other things in order to gain enough Big Bucks to field an all gold team. Save all other cards you get from gold packs and keep all of the players you get. You can use tight ends, receivers and running backs in all of those positions without being limited to any one specific position. The same for linebackers and defensive backs. Linemen are both offensive and defensive linemen.
Enjoy the game and try to develop your players in two or three skills each position typically requires. Note: Offensive linemen really only need Strength for blocking, so don't waste money gaining their other skills.
All and all, Big Win Football is a good game, but I wouldn't recommend paying for it until they fix the overwhelming logical bugs and the coin-toss type win or lose scenario that would make an all platinum team with a 90 rating and 3 impact cards lose to a scrub team with a 65 rating and no impact cards. The other logical bugs I mentioned above need to be addressed and keep this game from being a true must have icon in pocket football type games.
Spend all that money and time trying to get a good team and watch it go up in smoke due to these factors makes the game unplayable IMO for hard core gamers. You have been warned if you are the type that thinks they can spend, spend, spend and dominate. The game is a logical botch in that regard. This really disappointed me because that is exactly what I tried to do with it and realized it is not properly coded to warrant a game breaking analysis. I question the attributes and their true value after breaking this game down.
If these things do not worry you, then the game can be enjoyed.

Balsacraft Spitfire
I'm currently completing a build of a Balsacraft Spitfire.
I literally started in years ago - hmmm let me see - I think it was in 2002/2003. However, suddenly I had a young family and everything went on the back-burner. Now, after years of sitting dormant, my Balsacraft Spitfire has been pleading with me to get finished off. And it will be! I only get about 1 hour of construction a night so building it is slow but most of it is now complete. The fuselage and wings are pretty much all done. I just finished off the fuselage wing fillets. Originally this was going to be flow with some pretty heavy electrics - 600 speed brushed with an inline gearbox and horrible weighty Ni-MHs and some big servos and big RX. Now I've got lovely modern replacements and I think the weight savings will make it a lovely flier. I'm hoping a Turnigy 35-36C motor with a Flightmax 3S 2200mah will power it sufficiently. I'm performing a couple of mods to mine: * Moving the motor so that I'm using a full size scale spinner. I didn't like the smaller spinner idea. * Not installing some scale features to save weight. ie. underwing air-coolers, fuselage cooler, tail wheel. We're talking about 60 grams saving here. I really don't want to add any more weight to the tail than is necessary as I don't want to add any ballast. * Instead of tissue paper/dope I'm going to do a very light as possible fibre-glass covering over the entire model. Now I was just wondering about engine down/right thrust. The IC versions mentions right thrust however the electric does not. Is it required? There is also no down thrust though it looks like the wing/elevator are angled slight to give the same effect. Is that correct? I'll post some old construction photos (I took some back then with my then brand new digital camera) and I'll take a few current ones too. |

Balsacraft Spitfire
Here's my Spitfire. Almost ready for some ultra-light all over glassing,
I'll weigh it before hand and then afterward to see how much "fat" she has put on! Still to do: Cut out the ailerons and sand the rudder and elevator. [Now Done] Mount the cannon stalks. Mount scale motor exhausts after glassing. I've made the under-wing and fuselage radiators but will probably not mount them to save weight. I've also not adding other scale details behind the CoG to save weight (like the tail wheel, radio mast) and I'm using carbon fibre push rods for rudder and elevator. Note I've also deleted the stock motor mount extension. I will be using a full size, light weight spinner and mount the motor at the correct scale position. All up: What a great kit! Lots of fun to build. |

Just to add a few flying and static pictures from last weekend.
I'm really enjoying the Bearcat at the moment, but she had a narrow escape yesterday at the Angus MFC fly-in. Luckily the pre-flight checks revealed something was awry and we noticed that the pin on the elevator clevis had sheared, leaving the Bearcat with minimal elevator operation - just enough to be fatal, Given that we were 300miles from home with no spares, other than a spare prop, that meant the Bearcat was grounded, but saved to fly another day The FW190 maiden last weekend didn't go well, with not enough grunt from the Mega 22/20-3 and 8x4 prop to ROG from the dolly and an aborted take off. Might have been okay if the grass had been cut that weekend, but ot was a little long and the axle on the dolly can be a bit draggy when that happens. No time -or inclination - to try a hand launch, so the Butcher Bird has yet to fly. |
Aug 22, 2010, 04:59 PM | |
Yay! Maidened the Balsacraft FW190 today and I have to say that she was the nicest of all the Balsacraft models that I've flown so far. Literally not a click of trim needed, nicely neutral in flight and excellent perfomance off the dolly. A lovely model to fly and the camouflage wasn;t too bad to view in the air, contrary to my earlier concerns.
The only change I made was to swap out the incorrectly fitted 8x4 prop for a 9x4.5 APC-E. Unfortunately that prop and a much thicker boss and needed a change of prop adaptor, which produced an unsightly gap between the spinner and dummy spinner. With that prop and the grass having been cut the take off was competely uneventful. I'm going to enjoy this one. . Anyway - pictures - courtesy of my boy Tim. |

How could I have only just seen this thread! Sorry for the late posting leccy, too many distraction of late.
Yes got to love these BC kits. Only today I was looking through the images of my Balsacraft Hurricane and remember just how much I enjoyed it (and how I'd do it differently too). They do fly great, and I'm glad to hear your FW is a sweet flier too leccy. I was actually watching a BC Spitfire that was on ebay today. The seller had listed it as a 'model designs' kit, so I was hoping it wouldn't have attracted as much attention as it would if he had list it as 'Balsacraft'. Anyway it went for more than I had hoped in the dying seconds so, I'll have to wait for the next one to show up. The only problem is that with everyone that goes for sale, there becomes less and less chance of seeing them for sale again. Rare kits indeed, but I guess that is a good indicator of just how kits are. I did however manage to grab a Blenhiem for a bargin price last week, and although I now won't be starting on it next, I plan to keep it on the shelf until the time is right, I've got a Brian Taylor 58" Kingfisher to build before then. Below is my Hurricane from last years build, a Spitfire I brought made, resprayed then sold again, and the kit I just received. Oh an the Bearcat I got from a great gent here on RCG. Stuart.

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 20 User Reviews
A newer version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is available.
Or, Learn More About Java Runtime Environment (JRE)Results 1-7 of 7
"Essential tool for every computer."
Version: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 20
Java is needed in order to perform most tasks on the web and on your computer.
There is a security risk of attracting viruses on your Pc with this tool but at the moment there is no choice as without Java on our computer,a lot of features will not work.
Java is a mandatory tool for all computers and laptops as without this you cannot view certain websites or access other web applications or perform other tasks on the web. When I scanned my computer it showed Java as a security risk. However when I uninstalled it, I found websites to be slower and I got an error message on my laptop. So I had to put it back again on my computer. Secunia,the tool I use to scan my software says Java is insecure and should be uninstalled. But because there is no real alternative to Java,as other alternatives may not be recognised by Windows,at the moment we do not have a choice. We have to keep Java on our computers until they find an alternative to this software.
As I mentioned in my last review Java is a program that has been used by a lot of websites but I have been reading some of the latest articles about if it is possible for your computer to function without Java or an alternative to it.I found out that a lot of websites no longer use Java now and the articles advised that you should only install Java if you have to.This seems to be right as when I got my laptop it never had Java installed ,I had to install it myself. which suggests a PC can function without Java.Before I said when I uninstalled java some websites were slow. But I found out this was the website NOT the fact that Java was uninstalled as when I visited these sites again with Java re-installed,they were still slow.So I tried uninstalling Java again and I find my web browsers work much faster without it.Nothing on my computer is effected by the absence of Java. also Java in not a secure program so a PC is safer without Java. So am going to see how it goes without Java.
Updated on Aug 4, 2010 -
"Two different programs consider this a security risk"
Version: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 20
Who knows?
I hope that is not the security risk that it is aid to be. Java and Adobe - dangerous territory.
I only now what I read about these. I hope that this is safe.
Version: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 20
Allows you to run java applications/applets. Lots of application/websites will not work without this, so I recomemend this to everyone. I suppose (almost) everyne has this installed, even if he don't know about this :D
it is good to install from time to time newer version, to prevent problems..
"So far so good"
Version: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 20
User Friendly
none no complaints so far
Great program
"Product is okay, but each version is riddled w/ issues."
Version: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 20
Well...I need it to be able to use my computer!
Too much junk gets through! I've updated numerous times in the last 9 monthes. This time Cnet took me to a download file that my internet security program denied. I had to go search for a new/safe download myself, so then what's TechTracker doing?
"CNET download helped me when the java site is down"
Version: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 20
It's hosted on CNET, so when java official site is down, I can download it here.
Nothing up to now.
"You never enven know it is running but you need iit"
Version: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 20
It doesn't ask, it just does sits job and you never even know it is there but you do if you don't
The auatomatic update process sems to work only about half of the time; I have to go looking for it.
Since many (most?) online activities require Java to run you need it but it runs so smoothly you never even know it is there but you sure find out if you don't have it. Never had a problem with it.

Keith Bost's crew will spend one-third of its life in a fire department.
Waking up at the crack of dawn, Bost said his 61 paid and volunteer firefighters, rescuers and paramedics may be the "only people in Catawba County that work 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. without sitting down or taking a lunch break."
They work 24 hours on, then 48 hours off, and Bost said there's rarely a time when the men of Sherrills Ford Fire and Rescue aren't training, drafting fire plans or testing hydrants, hoses or vehicles.
And that's all just before the emergency call alarm sounds.
The first stop on Cody's Camp Tour 2011 is the Newton-Conover volleyball camp.
The camp, which is operated by the coaching staff of the Newton-Conover volleyball program, focuses on fourth through ninth graders. More than 20 girls participated in the two-week camp and its eight sessions.
Newton-Conover volleyball coach Linda Richards, who owns more than 700 victories in her coaching career at Fred T. Foard and Newton-Conover, has operated the camp for more than 20 years.
Richards said she focuses primary on one aspect with each of the campers.
Work on a sinkhole in Hickory may take the weekend to be repaired.
A sinkhole opened Thursday near in the entrance to Judge's Barbecue and Catering at 1975 U.S. 70 SE in Hickory, stopping traffic in both directions and causing problems for local business owners.
The hole, measuring about 18 feet deep by 12 feet wide, opened at about 3 p.m., according to Hickory Public Utilities workers. Several businesses' water was turned off while crews tried to fix the problem.
Tyler Barrymore hasn't played in a 2A state championship match. After Thursday, that all changed.
His play was critical in the Red Devils' 7-2 victory over Shelby, which earned the team a fifth straight berth in state championship match.
Barrymore picked the perfect time to have the match of his young career at Newton-Conover.
The freshman rallied for one set down against Will Lutz to win the match on a third-set tiebreaker 3-6, 6-4 (10-6).
As 1,000 Maiden High School students walked to Tom Brown Stadium on Thursday, they quickly realized they weren't about to watch a football game. Sure, they got out of class for school presentations at their stadium before, but they had never seen anything like this.
A man accused of killing three people and seriously injuring another was indicted on additional charges. A Catawba County grand jury indicted Everette Hewitt, 32, on Monday for first-degree burglary and robbery with a deadly weapon. Hewitt is already charged with three counts of murder, one count of attempted first-degree murder with a deadly weapon and one count of felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury. Hewitt is currently in jail without bond.
Catawba County citizens are using words like "leader," "giant" and "go-getter" to remember a community icon who passed away earlier this week.
The Rev. Stanley Louis Stiver Jr., a pastor, community leader and avid collector of crosses died Monday at age 89 in Newton.
Stiver was a pastor for more than 60 years, spending 31 years of his career at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Claremont.
John William Thomas, 73, of Hickory, died Wednesday, May 18, 2011, at his residence. A funeral service will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 21, 2011, at Jenkins Funeral Home Chapel.
Ellen S. Pennigar, 85, of Sherrills Ford, died Wednesday, May 18, 2011. The Pennigar family has entrusted the funeral arrangements to Willis-Reynolds Funeral Home & Crematory in Newton.
Two Lenoir-Rhyne University graduates, a choir tour to Europe and a desire to make people laugh brought Natasha Fox and Laura Greene together.
Fox, 24, and Greene, 26, were part of a radio show at L-R where the pair liked to "goof off" while on the show.
"We wrote comedy and tried to be a comedy band," Fox said.
The girls noticed their comedy act wasn't working, so the pair opted for something more musical. In 2008, the group became known as A Furry Greene Fox.
A sinkhole opened on U.S. 70 SE in Hickory, and motorists should avoid the area if possible.
The sinkhole is on private and public property in the westbound lanes on U.S. 70 SE in front of Valley Hills Mall. Detours have been set up in the area, and if possible, motorists should avoid this area.
Hickory Police Department and Hickory Public Service crews are on the scene, and North Carolina Department of Transportation officials are on the way to assess the situation.

The sci-fi thriller Lockout (no, it's not a documentary about the recent labor disputes in the NFL and NBA) doesn't hit theaters until April 20, but you can sneak a peek at the first five percent of the movie to see if you'll really want to check it out next Friday. Spoiler alert: You will. And that's the only real spoiler alert necessary here, as nothing much in the way of storyline is revealed in the five-minute clip.
Guy Pearce headlines Lockout as Snow, a wrongfully convicted government agent who is offered his freedom in exchange for rescuing the president's daughter (Maggie Grace) from an outer-space prison overtaken by violent inmates.
That's more or less what is on display in the aforementioned video: A butt-kicking, gravity-less Pearce trying to reach a damsel-in-distress-y Grace. When they finally meet, she is low on oxygen, forcing Pearce to consider jamming a needle through her eye and into her brain that would revive her, Pulp Fiction style. Sorta. Check it out, below!

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Readers by now think that I have become completely obsessed with the concepts of Multiple Intelligences. Perhaps that is what a summer intensive course will do for you. But any educator would be excited with the thought of being able to reach and help students in the arena where their brain works. Multiple Intelligences In The Classroom written by Harvard professor Thomas Armstrong and published by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development was one of the two textbooks we used. (See http://www.epinions.com/content_146205806212 for the other.) Armstrong is a colleague of the pioneering Dr. Howard Gardner who brought MI to the forefront of education and psychology with his 1983 work Frames of Mind. And much of the first part of Armstrongs book is spent telling the Gardner story and retelling the concepts of Gardners MI theory often in Gardners own words. At first one wonders why Armstrong wrote the book. But as Armstrong begins to expound upon the particular intelligences, he begins to feature his own thinking giving particular illustrations to use in specific situations. Some of his recommendations seem, well, ridiculous, but further observation causes one to realize that Armstrong is only trying to plant some simple seeds. The 154-page book is not an easy read, but it is packed with great information. Armstrong begins in chapter one by explaining the foundations of MI and continues in chapter 2 by talking about the personal development and usage of MI. In this chapter you can even take an MI Inventory to explore your own intelligences. I found that I was strong in Linguistic Intelligence (who wouldve thought?), extremely strong in Musical Intelligence, fairly strong in Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Intelligence and fairly weak in Naturalistic Intelligence, Spatial Intelligence, Kinesthetic Intelligence, and Mathematical Intelligence. Hum. Interesting stuff here. And the Inventory nailed me completely. Chapter 3 begins the exploration of discovering the strength areas in students. There is a student inventory. Chapter 4 discusses how to teach the intelligences to students. Then beginning with Chapter 5, Armstrong begins looking at the key points of instruction. In order of chapters he looks at Curriculum Development, Teaching Strategies, Classroom Environment and Management in Chapter 8. In Chapter 9, Armstrong looks at the MI school. How does it look? What is involved in the planning? Has it been successful? In Chapter 10, Armstrong takes a look at Assessment, a specifically interesting point for me. Since I am ardently opposed to the current usage of norm referenced testing in education to determine AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress), I was eager to see the alternative assessment espoused by Armstrong. I was pleased to see so much emphasis given to portfolio assessment and in gauging student progress against past performance not in comparing student against student. Chapter 11 addresses the needs of Special Education students, an area where MI has proven especially helpful. Chapter 12 is entitled MI and Cognitive Skills, and Chapter 13 looks at peripheral issues of application. In Chapter 14, Dr. Armstrong engages the reader in looking at what might become the ninth intelligence, Existential Intelligence. These are those students who learned by looking at the larger questions of life and existence. Some refer to this as the Spiritual Intelligence. The Appendixes of the book includes resources, related readings and examples of Lesson plans and programs. Naturally, he closes with a reference list, index and a brief biography of the author. If one is looking for a simple summary of MI, Armstrongs book is perhaps a good alternative to reading the longer, somewhat more difficult books by Gardner himself. However, Armstrong quotes Gardner so often that you almost feel as if Gardner wrote the book himself. And since Armstrong is a colleague, they are actually getting first hand study on the topic. In all, I was amazed by the course and by this book. Teachers need to be thinking out of the box. Delivering instruction by Linguistic means (paper, pencil, and lecture) is boring and fails to maximize the intelligence potential of most of the students in the classroom. By reading and implementing the ideas of this book, students will be encouraged to learn and will engage in the process as active learners. MI is fun, pedagogically sound, and gets tremendous results!

Per Schneider (see https://www.schneideroptics.com/info...6,8-210mm.html ) the 210/6.8 Angulon's cells are direct fits in a #3 tube 7 shutter. I think this means a Compound. The next larger size is a Compur/Copal #3, then a Compound #4. See http://www.suaudeau.eu/memo/pratique..._centraux.html
Have you asked Skgrimes for an estimate? I ask because if you can find the right shutter the only additional expense will be the correct scale for the aperture, and having an aperture scaled isn't very expensive. The big expense will be the shutter. Finding one will be a large headache.

Study Finds Favorable Results With Apligraf For Venous Ulcers
By Brian McCurdy, Senior Editor
A recent oral presentation gives high marks to a living cell-based treatment for the treatment of venous leg ulcers.
Organogenesis presented the study on its Apligraf product at the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care Spring/Wound Healing Society (SAWC Spring/WHS) meeting. The retrospective analysis focused on 1,489 patients with venous leg ulcers treated over a three-year period. Study authors note that 1,187 patients with 1,451 ulcers received Apligraf while 302 patients with 350 ulcers received a non-interactive collagen wound dressing.
At 36 weeks, Apligraf healed 61 percent of wounds in comparison to 46 percent of wounds that had the dressing, according to the study. The study also notes that Apligraf healed wounds 44 percent faster and over a three-year period, wounds treated with Apligraf demonstrated an increased probability of healing of 29 percent.
Paul Kim, DPM, MS, uses Apligraf regularly and has used it specifically for venous ulcers. He emphasizes that the keys to the success of any biologic product are proper wound bed preparation and addressing the underlying cause of the wound. Dr. Kim has seen a positive response when using Apligraf to treat diabetic and venous ulcers.
Dr. Kim questions the study's comparison of Apligraf to a dressing.
"Dressings do not heal wounds," says Dr. Kim, an Associate Professor in the Department of Plastic Surgery at the Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. "They facilitate the removal of detritus and exudate, and form a barrier to the external environment. Therefore, you cannot compare the function of Apligraf to that of wound dressings."
Still, Dr. Kim calls the study results "very interesting," saying retrospective studies such as this "are more clinically relevant (than randomized controlled trials) because they are inclusive of the kinds of patients and wounds we actually treat."
In Brief
Shire Regenerative Medicine recently announced at the SAWC Spring/WHS that it is providing the Association for the Advancement of Wound Care (AAWC) with an unrestricted grant for fellowships that will advance the science of wound care.
The $100,000 grant will be split to sponsor two individual fellowships for the 2014-2015 academic year, according to Shire Regenerative Medicine. The AAWC will administer the fellow selection process and the company notes each fellowship will be open to DPM, MD and DO candidates throughout the United States. Shire Regenerative Medicine adds that the grant will support a post-residency or fellowship program that focuses on multidisciplinary wound healing and tissue preservation. The AAWC will accept applications for the fellowship grants through 2013 and the selections of fellows and their programs will occur by March 2014.
A recent study found elevated protease activity in nearly half of the wounds (43 percent) that had skin graft failure.
According to Systagenix, the findings from the 30-patient study, which was presented at the European Wound Management Association conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, revealed that three out of four split thickness skin grafts failed in wounds that tested positive for elevated protease activity immediately prior to clinicians performing the graft procedure.

AMS 315 • Movies go to War, WWI-Vietnam
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
29815 |
TTh |
Course Description
This course will introduce some of the most famous war films, and some less familiar ones, from the US and Europe-- from Grand Illusion through Saving Private Ryan. Each war has developed its own kinds of war movies, from World Wars I and II, through the Korean police action, and the Vietnam conflict. These films will be used to introduce how to "read" films as part of cultural history and think critically about their content. Scenes from each war will be compared to the "real history" behind the film, to pose questions about how history can be written and rewritten in films. Take a trip through cinematic battlefields, to see how films have helped their audiences think about the roles of the world's superpowers in world contexts!
Topics to be addressed include: -cultural stereotypes of heroes, villains, and victims -different countries' takes on the same war experience (Stalingrad, Enemy at the Gate) -adaptations (book to film= King Rat, play to film = Hart's War) -the politics of war films -rewriting history through war movies -anti-war films -documentary, docu-drama -how to read point of view and cultural perspectives out of movies. Points of view and cultural perspectives in movies including documentary, docu-drama, and mockumentary.

Speculation on Romney VP candidate heightens
POSTED: Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - 4:30pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - 4:34pm
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — A Democrat hasn't won in Texas in 36 years, but Tuesday night, President Obama hoped to win over the hearts and wallets of his loyal supporters.
"If you're willing to knock on doors for me, make phone calls for me, mobilize and organize, then we'll finish what we started in 2008," stated Obama.
In Pennsylvania on Tuesday, a fiery Mitt Romney accused the President of being anti-entrepreneur.
"I'm convinced he wants Americans to be ashamed of success," said Romney.
Romney surrogate John Sununu tried to hammer the president on the same theme, "Men and women all over America have worked hard to build these businesses. It is the American way."
But Sununu may have overshot his target, saying "I wish this President would learn how to be an American."
Team Obama quickly pounced, writing, "The Romney campaign has officially gone off the deep end."
Sununu retorted, "I probably was a little bit too harsh there. That's not the best choice of words, but the message was clear - this President doesn't understand the American free enterprise system."
The Romney campaign is also fueling new speculation about when it will reveal a vice presidential pick and who it will be, even going so far as to already name two members of his running mate's staff.
Even Romney dropped a few hints, "The people I've worked with over my career have been people who have the capacity to lead and in some cases, people who provide perspectives and skills that I may not share."

Pulitzer Preview: Snowden factor, and more on prize prospects for Monday
The Pulitzer Prize announcements shook with real-world drama last year, interrupted by reports of bombs exploding at the Boston Marathon finish line.
This coming Monday, though, expect another kind of drama: over whether blockbuster coverage of the shocking level of National Security Agency surveillance of Americans – coverage based on whistleblower Edward Snowden's stolen top-secret documents – will win a Pulitzer for the U.S. website of the British-based Guardian, and perhaps The Washington Post as well.
Glenn Greenwald's, Ewen MacAskill's and Laura Poitras' Guardian coverage, "The NSA Files," has taken top honors from Scripps Howard, Investigative Reporters and Editors, the Online News Association and the Polk Awards, with the Polks adding Barton Gellman's Post reporting of NSA data mining to its citation.
When the ONA announced its winners last October, it honored The Guardian with its Gannett Foundation Award for Watchdog Journalism. Read more

So my droid x reboots when i connect it to the computer 90% of the time...is there reason behind this. Is there a solution Thanks So specks Droid X Liberty 1.5 (linear Theme) 2.2.1 Rooted if you need more info just ask Thanks!
Check your apps that are installed on your SD card...This usually happens when one or more are running when you plug the phone in which disconnects the SD card to the phone. Try moving the apps back to your phone one by one and testing to see which one(s) are the culprit.
I know one app that will do this to you is "Bump". Try removing it and see what happens. Also if you haven't tried it, do a search in this forum on this topic, other people including myself had this problem. Bump resolved it for me. Thanks Sent from my DROIDX using DroidForums

It feels good to be knitting regularly again. It feels good to have babies who nap so that I can knit more than one row at a go. Funny how it can take finishing just one hat to get you back on your way to a knitting obsession.
I'm still plugging away at the Diminishing Rib Cardigan. Using Jo Sharp Aran Tweed in Jewel. It took me a while to get used to knitting with it. It's rather uneven, which isn't unusual for a tweed, but it's so soft that it doesn't bother me much. The finished hand is gorgeous. I really can't wait to finish this sweater. I want to wear it this winter, if not this Christmas.
I wasn't sure how it was going to fit and I couldn't tell because it was all bunched up on a 24" circular needle. I could see the sweater all stretched out as I transferred from the 24" needles to the 36" needle and was delighted to discover that it fits very nicely. At least so far. Hopefully it will stay that way.
I also found time to whip up a toddler hat. It's so satisfying to cast on and finish something in one weekend with some leftover yarn just hanging around (It was Lorna's Laces in Shepherd's Bulky dyed color was Bittersweet). It was originally meant for a little baby, but I made it a bit too big so it's going to have to be for a toddler. I think I have one or two in mind. This was the baby flap cap, which was a sweet, easy thing to knit.
I'm Angela.
Mom. Wife. Crafter. Succulent Gardener. Co-op Preschool Parent.
What's going on now?
I'm knitting. I've been caring for my two sons, living at my MIL's house, volunteering at our local co-op preschool and gardening. Trying to find time to write and to redefine this blog to embrace my current reality.

Over the past half century, individuals have become much more mobile in their movement across the globe. This change has led to challenges and opportunities for contemporary society and law, and the understanding of the global community and identity on a regional as well as transnational level. The Migration and Diversity Centre (MDC), initiated in 2007, is a cross-disciplinary research centre which explores both the theoretical and societal implications of this new situation. The MDC actively pursues collaboration in migration and diversity research within the faculties of Law, Social Sciences and Arts of the VU University Amsterdam. The MDC aims to contribute to new or more refined social, legal and historical theory, as well as to practical insights into the opportunities and challenges posed by diversity.
Researchers who are interested in the fields of integration and migration are welcome to attend the centre's activities.
In the framework of the MDC, various events are organized which take the form of feedback forums, lectures, seminars, book presentations and discussions. Please visit the agenda to see our upcoming events. The MDC also helps organizing research projects. Every month, a newsletter of events and opportunities in the field of migration and diversity from around the world is sent out to members and to other interested parties.

Finding the Truth

I am a truth seeker. I hope that you are too. A while ago I believed that movies were just for entertainment. Like most people, I thought movies were simply fictional. After seeing a youtube video on the hidden messages in movies, I began to wonder if there could possibly be another reason for movies. After some research, I came to the conclusion that movies were not just meant to entertain. I hope that you do not just take my word for it. Check movies out for yourself. I encourage you to do some research to determine whether or not what I've posted is true.
