A top-rated Saint Louis Zoo attraction, the First Bank Sea Lion Show at the new Sea Lion Sound is oceans of fun for the whole family!
Sea Lion Superstars
The Zoo's California sea lion stars will make their way back to the stage in 2014. Some of the acrobatic and athletic behaviors you'll see from these intelligent animals include:
- Olympic-style dives on a high-diving platform
- Powerful swimming
- Hurdle and high jumps
- Flipper walks
- Balancing acts
- Frisbee tosses
- Lots of splashing and even more surprises!
While on stage with the animals, our trainers explain sea lion behavior and positive-reinforcement training, animal fun facts and the need for conserving the sea lions' ocean habitat.
Lichtenstein Sea Lion Arena
Our 811-seat amphitheater, which opened with Sea Lion Sound in summer 2012, features the large Ann Lux Family Stage and a rock bridge extending into the audience offering an up-close look at the playful sea lions. Watch the sea lions swim underwater in the 40,000-gallon acrylic saltwater pool surrounding the stage. The arena also offers shaded seating with a huge fabric awning and giant, whisper-quiet fans overhead for audience comfort.
Spring Training Shows

March 14 at 1 p.m. -- Special guest Brad Thompson, former St. Louis Cardinal pitcher and current co-host of "The Fast Lane" on 101ESPN, will toss out the "first fish" to kick off Spring Training shows.
The sea lions have all reported to spring training at Sea Lion Sound, and you're invited to cheer them on from the bleachers. Our "Fish League" practices even include a few baseball-themed activities for the animal athletes — Cardinals-inspired, of course! Fans can observe the animals working on new behaviors with their trainers at this sneak peek into the show season.

I just received some .40 factory reloads from Georgia Arms, and it seems like quite a few of them have these indentations on the ridge of the bullet. Are these going to have a severe effect on performance of the rounds? Cause damage to a gun? I'm not expecting wonders from factory reloads, but a relatively large flaw like that raised my eyebrows.

That is a new one on me. I would email the manufacturer with the pictures. Damege to gun- not likely. Unable to hit broad side of a barn standing inside barn? Likely.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
It looks like they had some sort of hard debris stuck in the bullet cup in their seating die. Like C3, I doubt that they will hurt your pistol barrel, but accuracy will likely suffer.
I'd send Georgia Arms the photos and ask for a refund.
There are few things you can do to the nose of a bullet that will adversely effect the accuracy. The base of the bullet is a different thing entirely. THat kind of damage to the base would be an accuracy killer.
If Georgia Arms is even remotely worth their salt, they will send you at least a box of ammo for your trouble.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.

State-owned Coal India (CIL) has issued work order for setting up four washeries at an estimated cost of Rs. 636 crore, Parliament was informed on Tuesday.
"So far work order to set up four washeries, three in BCCL (Bharat Coking Coal Ltd) and one in CCL (Central Coalfields Ltd), has been issued. The total set up cost for these four washeries is estimated to be Rs. 636.32 crore," Minister of State for Coal Pratik Prakashbapu Patil said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.
The Minister further said that the coal PSU envisages setting up 16 washeries out of which six are in BCCL in Jharkhand, four in Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL) in Odisha, three in CCL in Jharkhand, one in Eastern Coalfields Ltd (ECL) in West Bengal and two in South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL) Chhattisgarh.
The proposed washeries are tentatively scheduled to be set up during 12th and 13th plan period, he added.
Concerned over delays in setting up of washeries by CIL, Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal had earlier said that Mr. Patil will monitor to see that such plants are put in place expeditiously.
Government earlier had said that not a single washery of CIL could be commissioned during the 11th Five Year Plan period (2007-12) mainly due to delays in securing environmental clearances and non-availability of suitable land.

There have been some studies suggesting that organic produce has a slightly higher antioxidant level than commercially-grown produce. However if buying organic produce means you won't be able to afford as many fruits and vegetables because of the expense, you're better off buying and eating more non-organically grown produce. Just be sure to wash it well and you can even buy a natural fruit/veggie spray that helps remove any pesticides, waxes or bacteria.
On the other hand, with processed, packaged foods, just because something is labeled "organic" – doesn't mean that it's better for you. Beware of the food manufacturers – they will do whatever it takes to seduce you into buying their products so REMEMBER: AN ORGANIC CANDY BAR IS STILL A CANDY BAR!!!

The lead developer of KWin has shared an update regarding the work he and others have been doing to bring KWin to Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5, for the eventual release of KDE 5.
For making the transition, they've had to change their X Server interfacing from Xlib to using the modern XCB, changing around QGraphicsView code to using Qt Quick, porting more code to using QML, and improving the X RENDER compositor. With the X Render compositor improvements, also ended up bringing improvements to the OpenGL compositor due to re-thinking their rendering code paths.
In terms of where they are at in their transition to Qt 5, a test compile last week with Qt 5 and KDE Frameworks 5 revealed a few issues but KWin did successfully build. There's still some low-level issues like needing some of Qt 4's native graphics system and a few issues within KDE Frameworks 5.
Martin's focus for working on this porting right now is for testing their event filter from Xlib to XCB and they can only test that in a Qt 5 environment. The final transition to Qt 5 and KDE Frameworks 5 will come later.

Glenayre, Benbow Agree to Test Two-Way Wireless Messaging; Westlink Paging Will Conduct Test In California.
Westlink Paging, one of the largest privately held paging companies in the United States, is the network operator for two regional narrowband personal communications services (NPCS) licenses Benbow PCS Ventures won in the Federal Communication Commission's narrowband auction last year. It will conduct the test early next year in San Diego, home to Westlink's corporate headquarters. Benbow is a joint venture of Westlink and the Walsh Companies.
"Since securing our NPCS licenses, we have been eagerly awaiting this day," said June Walsh, Benbow's president and chief executive officer. "We are excited about the technology and confident that this test is going to teach us a lot about bringing exciting new high-value, low-cost wireless services to the marketplace."
The test will include guaranteed page delivery and two-way services.
"Testing for guaranteed page delivery may sound redundant in an industry well-known for its network reliability, but anytime you introduce new systems, you owe it to your customers to again demonstrate that reliability," said Gary Smith, president of Glenayre's Wireless Messaging Group. "Whether the page is sent to someone just down the street or someone aboard an airliner at 32,000 feet, we want to demonstrate that transmission is fail-safe."
Westlink also plans to test two-way paging which allows customers to receive alphanumeric messages and respond with pre-recorded messages.
"Today most paging systems transmit data at 1,200 bits per second (bps) and limit alphanumeric messages to 40 or 80 characters; the FLEX(TM) protocol allows for the transmission of data at 6,400 bps, the speed needed to meet customer demand for longer messages," said Rex Snyder, Westlink's vice president of technology. "And ReFLEX25 goes a step further, providing additional capacity and response capability.
"The protocols enable enhanced messaging services while maximizing efficiencies in both our infrastructure and frequency spectrum," Snyder said.
Glenayre is providing response-channel receivers and RF Directors (switches) to add two-way capability to Westlink's new C2000 transmitter control infrastructure.
"We believe a graceful migration from one-way FLEX paging to two-way ReFLEX25 paging is important," Smith said.
Scott Hoyt, Westlink's vice president of marketing, said the company's test of two-way paging services will lay the groundwork for the introduction of other NPCS services.
"Westlink will provide the full range of narrowband PCS to its customers," Hoyt said. "This test is important in helping us to understand the market applications that will have broad appeal, helping us refine our service offerings while allowing for the development of offerings not yet envisioned."
Glenayre Technologies is a worldwide provider of telecommunications equipment and related software used in the wireless PCS markets, including radio paging, voice processing and alphanumeric and mobile data systems. A public company whose stock is traded on the NASDAQ system, Glenayre's sales have increased from $92.5 million in 1991 to $222.9 million in the first three quarters of 1995.
Westlink Paging serves more than 450,000 customers in 88 markets in 14 western and midwestern states. In part, Benbow partnered with Westlink Paging in narrowband PCS because of the paging company's sophisticated digital paging network.
Benbow PCS Ventures is a joint venture of Westlink and the Walsh Companies. In addition to holding licenses for a 50/12.5 kHz NPCS channel in the West and Central Regions, Benbow provides paging and two-way mobile services in Northern California through its Cal Autofone and Repco operations. -0- FLEX and ReFLEX25 are trademarks of Motorola Inc.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Tristram Shandy for the Twentieth Century,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rings of Saturn: An English Pilgrimage (Panther) (Paperback)
Ostensibly an account of a walk but in reality a dark journey to the bottom of the soul. Sebald's knowledge of local, European and world history and literature is unsurpassed. He leads us through a landscape of dilapidated coastal resorts, decadent country houses, disused seaports, closed branch lines and towns that have literally fallen into the sea. He uses these surroundings as the catalyst for a broad, fascinating discourse on the loss brought about by man's destructive nature and the ineluctable passing of time. He brings his acute, perceptive intelligence to bear on subjects as diverse as the European silk industry, the books of Thomas Browne, Chateaubriand, Rembrandt, Dutch Elm Disease, the Great Storm of 1987, the Rape of the Summer Palace in Peking and his dim recollections of childhood in Nazi Germany and the propaganda films he was shown at school.
In each case, our past sins come back to haunt us in this elegiac, cerebral odyssey. Sebald's sense of collective guilt is so acute, we can only hope that in tribute to this genius's tragic passing, the world mourns him with equal sensitivity and intensity, to that with which he lamented the decline of his adoptive East Anglia and the punishing vicissitudes of nature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Out of Nowhere,
Mike Phillips (Esher, Surrey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rings Of Saturn (Paperback)
This was the first sebald book I purchased. It is like nothing I have read before or since. The fact that it has no story as such is immaterial to enjoyment of the often dream like qualities of this book. There is a narrative thread in the form of a journey through East Anglia but this is broken by tangental episodes and characters that drift in often seemingly from out of nowhere. This mixture of abstraction and convention is held together by an elegiac low key prose style which I find completely beguiling. Sebald has a way of communicating facts and historical episodes that make them seem fresh although the subject matter is often disturbing. The fact that as a book it is difficult to pin down in terms of style and type only enhances the compelling, enigmatic and ultimately uplifting qualities of this book. It is one of the few books I constantly return to especially after reading a highly rated 'bestseller' (which invariably doesn't come close in terms of written quality or content).

4.0 out of 5 stars Melancholy meanderings,
Secret Spi (Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rings Of Saturn (Paperback)
I was given this book in German by a friend who I think had over-estimated my proficiency in that language. I made several failed attempts to penetrate the first chapter before I gave up and ordered "the Rings of Saturn" in English from amazon. I'm glad I did.
I still found the first chapter difficult but after a while, I switched into Sebald's train of thought and was spellbound for the rest of the book. Wandering around the largely desolate, decaying and deserted Suffolk coastline becomes a metaphor for a stream of consciousness, a meandering through the mind. Sights and places spark off connections to stories about a number of historical persons and events, which all become inter-connected in the literary web that is "The Rings of Saturn".
There are recurring themes here of the nature of time, transience and permanence, death and birth. In spite of the philosophical and learned nature of the writing, this book is never dry or dull. In reading it, I learned a lot, I thought a lot and I felt a lot. I can recommend this to anyone who yearns for writing and thought of quality away from the mainstream.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful - companionship and enrichment for life's solitary journeys,
Andy Miller (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rings Of Saturn (Paperback)
The back cover of this book captures beautifully for me the strange, melancholy and yet uplifting nature of this original and delicate text:
`A walking tour through the haunted landscape of the past, in the company of the exiled and departed'
` .... a book unlike any other in contemporary literature, an intricately patterned and endlessly thought-provoking meditation on the transience of all things human'.
WG Sebald does indeed describe a walk that he undertook along the coast of Suffolk over a number of days in 1992 but from the very first page it becomes clear that this will be no ordinary travelogue. The book opens with the author describing how, a year after his walk, he was `taken into hospital in Norwich in a state of almost total immobility'. Being able to see only a small rectangle of sky from the window of his eight floor room, he becomes `overwhelmed by the feeling that the Suffolk expanses I had walked the previous summer had now shrunk once and for all to a single, blind, insensate spot'.
And so begins a rich and meandering set of accounts of all manner of topics, some provoked by what he has seen and others by associations with places that he is aware of by virtue of his immensely broad and scholarly reading. One passage even consists of a memory of an eccentric household with whom he took lodgings in Ireland years before and is inspired by a dream he has one night during his walk. Sebald wears his learning lightly and his tales and accounts of topics completely alien to me, such as the history of silkworm farming from the ancient Chinese to the twentieth century Nazis, and the life and lost love of the French writer Chateaubriand, are told so engagingly and seemingly from such a fresh perspective, that I was drawn fully into them. There is so much to learn from this book without ever once the reader, or at least this reader, feeling lumbered with a textbook.
But there is potentially more to this enchanting book. As in Austerlitz, the only other book by Sebald that I have so far read, there are a number of grainy black and white photographs, maps and snippets of archival documents. In Austerlitz these were used to support a work of fiction, to confuse and stimulate the curiosity of the reader. Was the author being serious, playful or somehow both at the same time? So too, in this book, there are hints that all may not be what it seems, that there may be invention, embroidery and tall tale telling but corralled, as in Austerlitz, into serving a deeply humanitarian endeavour.
As a completely original and unconventional text, full of rumination on the human condition, sweeping across centuries and continents whilst also rooted in a landscape often painted as featureless and bleak, this is a wonderful book and one to return to for companionship and enrichment during life's solitary journeys.

5.0 out of 5 stars strange news from another star,
Tmo Wilkinson "tom_will" (Oxford) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rings Of Saturn (Paperback)
'Rings of Saturn' is Sebald's greatest work. It has a finesse of description, and an ethereal prose style, that would be hampered by a strong narrative. In fact, Sebald is not terribly good at plot, as I believe 'Austerlitz' demonstrates. In 'Rings' the lives of the lonely and vanishing characters seem to drift in and out of vision, like figures in a misty landscape, without the artist trying to grasp them.
Something like attending a seance to which only the ghosts of obscure historical personages are summoned, 'Rings' is a beautifully melancholy read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Mind Broadens Travel,
A J Liddell (Gloucestershire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rings Of Saturn (Paperback)
I'm writing this half-way through reading The Rings of Saturn, having looked at other readers' reviews in order to reassure myself that 'it isn't just me' who finds this a strange, but wonderful book.
I came on it after a chance purchase of 'Bicycle Diaries' by David Byrne (yes, he of Talking Heads et al), which I also greatly enjoyed. Byrne references and acknowledges The Rings of Saturn in the forword to his work, which it resembles to no small extent, particularly the travel-related format and the liberal inclusion of sometimes ambiguous, sometimes obscure, black and white photographs. In both books, one suspects the author exploits the limts of the printing process to make the reader work that bit harder to interpret what he or she sees.
I agree with those reviewers who compare this book to Proust and de Botton, but I'm surprised that (unless I've skimmed over it), no-one has mentioned the occasional flash of gentle humour that shines through. OK, it's not so laugh-out-loud funny as Bill Bryson or Michael Palin, but now and then I reckon Sebald throws in the occasional spoof 'fact' with his tongue in his cheek and a twinkle in his eye, just to test the limits of our credence and to make sure we're paying attention. Spotting these is one of the pleasures of reading the book. A map would have been nice, though.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of a kind,
Didier (Ghent, Belgium) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Rings Of Saturn (Paperback)
I really don't know where to begin in praising this book, it's unlike anything I've read before and somehow I feel that (apart from other novels by Sebald) it's very unlikely that I'll ever read anything else that even remotely resembles 'The Rings of Saturn'. His is a truly unique voice, which I find hard to describe or categorize (let alone compare to other novelists), but one thing is for certain: 'The Rings of Saturn' left me thunderstruck (and very depressed too, more about that later).
In 'The Rings of Saturn' Sebald relives a walking tour he made in the county of Suffolk in August 1992 but, though he describes the route he took and the villages he visited, that is really just an excuse for his mental journey during that same tour. Wherever he goes, even in that largely uninhabited area, Sebald finds himself 'confronted with the traces of destruction, reaching far back into the past'. His thoughts and feelings meander in the most unpredictable ways, and he sees (or finds) connections with other events, often indeed 'reaching far back into the past', in the most bizarre ways. And happy thoughts they are not I can assure you. Whatever Sebald stumbles across on his journey, ultimately (and in most cases pretty soon) turns out to be evidence of one of two things: either the endless cruelty man is capable of towards his fellow human beings, or the futility of all human endeavours. With a sheer endless catalogue of examples of both - ranging from the now ruined country houses of former industrial tycoons to the tyranny of the Chines dowager empress Tz'u-hsi - Sebald drives his point home, and I found myself, as never before by any other book, torn between an insatiable hunger to read on and the uncomfortable certainty that the more I read the more depressed I became (admittedly, I read this book in a not so happy period of my life, but still).
Is it all true what Sebald writes about these historical events? Are the people he meets and describes real people or products of his imagination? Frankly, I didn't check so I don't really know, but I do know that he makes it all sound very convincingly 'real'. Perhaps it isn't all 'true' (being a Belgian myself, I can assure you that - contrary to what Sebald claims - the Belgian population does not have a 'strikingly stunted growth', least of all due to the ruthless exploitation of the Congo colony), but perhaps that is not the issue either.
All in all, this book had a very powerful impact on me (which was certainly heightened by the bleak pictures dispersed throughout the text - snapshots taken by Sebald himself? I presume so) but, as I said before, it did instill in me a very pessimistic view on mankind which lasted well beyond the time I finished the book. So if I recommend it (which I do, and very much so!) I feel duty-bound to warn you about that as well. One thing I can guarantee you: it'll be unlike anything you've read so far.

4.0 out of 5 stars Walk into a magical Journey,
This review is from: The Rings Of Saturn (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book, ostensibly a chronical of a walk along the suffolk coast from Lowestoft to Orfordness; Sebold weaves into this pedestrian tale a compendium of remarkable, human stories and tales from around the world. A life affirming book that reminds us how we each have the whole world within us.

4.0 out of 5 stars Travel? Landscape? Philosophy?,
Stewart M (Victoria, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rings Of Saturn (Paperback)
Without question this is a strange and fascinating book. The physical journey taken by the author meanders through the landscape of coastal East Anglia, and the journey the text takes meanders through a wide range of topics - art, literature, history. I think that the book is clear reflection of the landscape of the region. While East Anglia may not have the high mountains and dramatic valleys that define other regions, its beauty is without question. The text of the book takes on a similar form. Small details become important, otherwise overlooked aspects become the focus and the journey is enriched through this.
There is no sweeping grandeur here - the place and text come together to examine the small, the valuable and the distant, and yet the book manages to be both compelling and thought provoking. Do not look for the huge, the famous or the dramatic in this book - its charm lies in other areas. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughts based around a coastal walk in East Anglia.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rings of Saturn: An English Pilgrimage (Panther) (Paperback)
Nominally a walk round the coast of East Anglia, but really a series of loose, mainly literary connections: those with a German slant being more interesting because less familiar with most readers in the UK. This book reminds me of Richard Holmes' FOOTSTEPS; one of the earliest literary biographies/travel books, setting the literary scene in the landscape.
Having been to Regensburg and Den Haag recently, I found the connections made fascinating. I went on to read any other Sebald books translated into English in pbk and found them published in the same style (big spaced out print, funny black and white photos accompanying the text for authenticity) leaving the same confusion: is this really fiction or a kind of autobiography? is this superficial entertainment or a subtle weaving of textual references (some of the other work reminded me of Nabokov at his best). Quintessentially English, yet peculiarly European.
A great work of Euro literature and (like all his works) a compelling read and not as melancholy as some of his other work.

The problem I have is that there are so many versions and I have no idea which is suitable for my device.
The ones I'm currently considering are (are there others more suitable even?):
I have no idea what the differences between these are either and none of the MIDs for the firmwares match mine (0P6B16000). The firmware packages for each are all slightly different as well - some with more files, some with less files.
How do I tell what firmwares are 'safe' to use or even which ones are official and/or correct ones (i.e. not leaked or modified)? What would be the recommended firmware to use?

Baldwin City man wins Shrine Demo Derby
May 28, 2013
Features Champions
- Jimmie Johnson, Baldwin City; 2. John Green, Lawrence; 3. Hugh Griggs, Paola; 4. Jamie Frost, Edgerton; 5. CJ Barnes, Shelbina, Mo.; 6. Jason Dials, Ottawa; 7. Chris Bender, Overbrook

A Baldwin City man won the second annual Shrine Demolition Derby on Saturday in Tonganoxie.
Jimmie Johnson has been competing in demo derbies for 22 years, and it never gets old, calling it "a passion."
He owns a pipeline construction company, and when he and his crew are not working, they're building demo cars.
"We do it all the time. It never stops, it's year in and year out," he said.
His sons, Jace, 9, and Aydin, 7, were eager to see their dad after his win.
"They live for this," Johnson said.
Demo derby drivers and pit crews become like family, he said.
"We have a good time, and everybody out here knows each other," Johnson said. "We have a lot of respect for each other."
This is the second year the Abdallah Shrine has hosted a derby, which followed two nights of rodeo.

Update: Check accepted solution. Problem was irrelevant to class properties.
I have following problem in Matlab and cannot find anything on google or here. I have a handle class like this:
classdef myClass < handle
I instanciate it as
myObj = myClass(data);
Now if I try:
clear myObj.hugeCellArray
it doesn't clear the property at all. If I try
myObj.hugecellArray = []; it does set the property as [] but the memory is still allocated!
So it seems like I cannot get rid of a huge variable in a class unless I clear the whole class?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: (Clarification) My problem is the memory. I don't want to actually delete the class property, I want to free its memory.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The Cube's curtains set to rise
And once open, they won't be closing
The curtain will rise on the summer festival season at Old Market Square with no long-term solution for the problematic curtains on the Cube.
The metal skin on the hypermodernist outdoor stage will be pinned open all summer once repairs and alterations to the structure are completed today, say officials with the City of Winnipeg and the Exchange District Business Improvement Zone.
The Cube was shuttered last summer due to safety concerns about the aluminum "chain-mail" curtains. Ever since the stage was completed in 2010, technicians responsible for raising and lowering the curtains were unable to figure out a safe and consistent means of doing so.
Over the past week, city workers have repaired faulty lights on the city-owned structure, installed a new, specially fabricated door at the rear and built gates to restrict access to the stage's control panel and its seldom-glimpsed second floor, said Brian Timmerman, executive director for the Exchange BIZ.
The curtains, however, will simply be pinned open before the Winnipeg International Jazz Festival begins using the stage on Thursday and will remain open until September, Timmerman said.
"We made the decision to keep the curtains up for the whole season," he said, explaining the new gates will allow the structure to remain open.
Once it's closed in the fall, a new lighting controller will finally allow the Cube to illuminate Old Market Square at night all winter, as originally intended, Timmerman added.
"We're going to have the Cube glowing and doing what it was supposed to do," he said.
No new city money was spent on repairs and alterations to the Cube, city spokeswoman Michelle Bailey said in a statement. Over the past week, city workers have conducted about $50,000 worth of renovations to Old Market Square, mostly on accessibility improvements such as new handrails, Bailey said.
Timmerman said all the work should be completed today to ensure the jazz festival has no problems on Thursday. Paul Nolin, the festival's executive director, said he's satisfied with the decision to simply keep the Cube's curtains open all summer.
"Whether or not they can be raised or lowered for other people is irrelevant, as long as they are open for my event," he quipped. "Obviously, the Cube's functionality needs to be improved. Everyone's working hard on that."
The $1.2-million stage has won awards for Winnipeg's 5468796 Architecture, which designed the structure.
In April, city officials said they would consider legal action to recover the cost of amending the building. To date, no one has disclosed the price tag for the repairs.

I've worked with many companies to have work done to my homes and I can say that my experience with Chamblee Fence Company was by far one of the best. Parker was quick and responsive to provide us a very fair quote. The team that did the work did a fantastic job and were very courteous. I'd use this company again!

A beautiful fence, very nicely constructed. I had quite a few variables with my fence with different styles and materials for different sections. Chamblee Fence helped me with the plan, and did a great job with the execution.
Posted on GuildQuality on: 1/2/2015
Chamblee Fence Company was extremely responsive. They were very knowledgeable and worked very hard to give us everything we needed and wanted within our timeine. They were very flexible and the price was good.
We had a split rail fence installed on our property by Chamblee fence in 2008. The installation was quick and the fence looked good. 6 years later, multiple posts had to be replaced because they were completely rotten. I expect the fence to last longer than 6 years! I had wooden fences on my previous properties and they did not have these issues. I called for a quote to have 3 posts and 1 rail replaced - $800 (includes the repeat customer discount). Unbelievable high in my opinion. So I liked the quick installation but am disappointed by the short time part of the fence lasted.
We have used this company on multiple occasions for our commercial properties. Timely, beautiful work, and reasonably priced. You can't go wrong.
Had a wonderful experience with them. Prompt service to draw out plans, patience when we continued to change our minds and had to redraw plans, on time for install, and a beautiful fence to enjoy at the end.

We had a great experience with Chamblee Fence Company. Two knowledgable staff members came to our home to review and measure the area and gave us a quote on the spot. Their prices are very reasonable. A team of three men quickly worked to build the fence. They would have completed the fence in one day if the ground wasn't wet, but came back the next day and finished quickly. They worked diligently and showed up on time every day. I would recommend Chamblee Fence to anyone looking for a good experience all around.

A Special Report to Donors
The pace at Lipscomb University rarely slows, but we do take a moment at the conclusion of each academic year to reflect on the year and anticipate new opportunities for growth and service in the coming months. One phrase continues to come to my mind—Lipscomb University is richly blessed! You have heard me say this before, but it continues to be an accurate description of our circumstances.
Ruth Frey & Evalena Tobaben
Sisters Ruth Frey and Evalena Tobaben may seem like unlikely college donors. They never attended college and, in fact, had only a passing association with Lipscomb University through their church in Louisville. That all changed in 1994, when Frey attended her first Lipscomb Summer Hostel, a week-long combination of classes and field trips for individuals who want to learn in a classroom setting again. About that same time, she set up the first of several gift annuities through the university.

In response to my post on Making a Game Out of It, Kathy Sierra writes:
I wish everyone on the planet would stop right now and read at least this one bit from your post:
"Don't make me think it's a game when it's not. Don't make it look like fun when it isn't. Show me the fun in it, the fun of it. Invite me to the joyful core of it. Share with me the delight."
I feel so disheartened when people say things like, "well it would be wonderful if all kids were motivated to learn, but what to do when they aren't?" as though it was simply a sad reality that not everyone is "motivated to learn."
Yet every single person who believes this could recall numerous examples of that one teacher who made a topic they were NOT interested in to begin with suddenly fascinating. Or how they became interested in something because a friend's enthusiasm around it was infectious, etc.
I have been a fan of yours for a long time. I was thrilled to see this post of yours. I am not at all ambivalent about gamification… the topic hits a weird sweet spot on the three venn diagrams of my entire adult life: game developer, teacher, and horse trainer.
Even animal trainers are starting to appreciate that the any of the more intelligent animals can suffer when extrinsic rewards are applied to things they have a natural motivation for. One day I will write about how I nearly "gamified my horse to death", literally. In my quest to motivate this horse for rehabilitation, I used extrinsic rewards until he lost so much motivation he began failing neurological exams. He was nearly euthanized as a result, until I was reading Dan Pink's book "Drive" and near the end he had a comment about how we should not treat people as if they were horses, simply responding to carrot and stick. I suddenly realized that if my horse was not acting "like a horse, responding to carrot and stick", then perhaps what applies to humans would apply to horses. Turns out some of the motivation research originated with animals, so… They, too, can be shut down by misplaced extrinsic rewards.
Long story short, the very next day I embarked on a quest to help this horse do just as you wrote… "find the fun… The joyful core." In a horse, this meant the pure joy of moving like a proud, awesome creature. So I eliminated the reward-for-behavior and (somewhat painfully for both of us) taught and encouraged him to move in a way that would express pride or, as we called it, "finding his inner bad-ass". Within 48 hours of me changing my approach — from extrinsic rewards to helping him reconnect to intrinsically pleasurable aspects of the behavior — he turned a corner, and six months later he went from death's door to an international competition.
I kicked myself for having deep knowledge of game design (based entirely on intrinsic rewards, though the gamifiers have of course cargo-culted just the surface mechanics) and a skillful ability to use operant conditioning, and yet I had been so willing to use only operant conditioning because it is so seductive. You DO get behavior. Highly engaged (at first) until you notice it is all phoned-in and mechanical. And by then, it may be too late to re-ignite the real spark. Or as you put it so beautifully, "the joyful core".
I was, understandably, thrilled to receive not only such an affirmation but news of such a clear and positive application of the principles that have come to form my beliefs and faith in fun. I wrote the author for permission to share her letter with you, and for any way people could find out more about her work online. She responded:
I have not blogged since 2007, but I once gave the opening keynote at SXSW, and this year have decided to return because of my feelings around gamification. My solo presentation is titled, "Battle for the User's Soul: the dark side of gamification"
As for URLs, I made a little video about my horse, and afterwards, Dan Pink wrote to say in a revised version of the book he removed the part about horses. And said "if I had a dime for every horse owner who told me…" in other words, a LOT of horse people recognized that a pure extrinsic reward approach to motivation was problematic, even for horses.
And I suppose one other video that sums up my approach to work was a keynote I gave to a publisher's conference, though it suffers as a presentation (technical problems advancing slides, etc.) but the message is the one I care about. It also starts a little counter-intuitively because I mention the significance of writing books "for the money", but, well, you'll see where it goes if you watch it.

Weekend Box Office Report: The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Battle the 'Guardians of the Galaxy'

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Conquers the Universe
Up until the day it opened, 'Guardians of the Galaxy' was a big question mark at the box office. Could Marvel Studios continue its winning streak with a movie based on a practically unknown comic series that only has light connections to the rest of the films in their cinematic universe? Early estimates had the film grossing $60 million over the weekend and that would have been perfectly okay. But then it went and eclipsed that estimate
'Ghostbusters 3′ Eyes Paul Feig to Direct, Will It Be a Female-Led Reboot [UPDATE]
Like some kind of restless spirit, 'Ghostbusters 3' refuses to die. Despite countless massive setbacks that would have completely derailed a film with less name recognition, the film keeps on lumbering forward, surviving countless abandoned screenplays. However, big news has arrived today, as Sony is reportedly eyeing director Paul Feig to take over the project, but will the film end up being a reboot instead of a sequel?
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Lucy' Takes Down the Mighty 'Hercules'
This weekend saw two movies named after their lead characters go head-to-head. In one corner, you have 'Lucy.' In the other, 'Hercules.' If you asked the average person who would win in a battle between Dwayne Johnson and Scarlett Johansson, most would probably side with the guy whose nickname is "The Rock." But the box office this weekend went in a completely different direction.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Purge' Can't Wipe Out the Planet of the Apes
Despite three very different new challengers, 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' continued to rule over the box office this weekend. This doesn't spell disaster for the newcomers, but it does spell further success for the sequel to 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes,' which is riding extremely positive word of mouth to a big box office tally.
Marvel's Thor is Now a Woman
In news that will probably baffle comic book fans and normal people alike, it was revealed that Thor (yes, the Avenger) is no longer worthy of his title and will be replaced by a woman.
Yes, you are allowed to unleash a collective "What?!" right about now.
