BioWare Montreal is working on the next game in the Mass Effect series, according to studio director Yannick Roy on Twitter, it'll be "borrowing" many game systems from Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Roy responded to a concerned fan who asked him if it would take "years" before the next Mass Effect was released, "Don't worry: we have a large and talented team, we started a while ago, and we are 'borrowing' a lot of game systems from Dragon Age III."
Dragon Age: Inquisition, formerly Dragon Age III: Inquisition before the "III" was dropped from the title at E3 2013, is due to be released in Fall 2014. Meanwhile, the next Mass Effect will not star Commander Shepard, and will run on the Frostbite 3 engine.

The present invention relates to a means for constraining graft material.
Grafting materials, such as autologous bone, allograft bone, xenograft, organic or inorganic material or "bone paste", or other similar materials, are commonly used in procedures for fractures or surgical reconstruction of bones. These materials are used for two primary reasons--(1) in order to promote bone healing as a biologic response, and (2) in order to provide structural support.
Intraarticular fractures are a common example of a situation in which grafting material can be used. In this situation, the primary role of the grafting material is to buttress and/or support bone fragments in an anatomic or functional position; in addition, the graft material may function to promote healing.
If the grafting material does not maintain its position at the site of application, several potential problems may occur. First and foremost is that the material no longer functions for its original and intended purpose. Migration of graft material may lead to migration of the fragment to be supported; this in turn may result in complications of joint incongruity, arthritis, stiffness, pain, crepitance with joint motion, non-union or malunion, and secondary procedures (i.e. additional surgical procedures), to name a few.
In addition to losing intended function, migration of graft material may have additional deleterious effects. Migration of grafting material into adjacent soft tissues may initiate an inflammatory reaction or cause complications from mechanical pressure and irritation. For instance, graft material pressing on a nerve may cause nerve damage. Graft material pressing on tendons may cause either fraying of the tendon (even rupture) or may cause scarring and limitation of tendon gliding. Migration of graft material into an adjacent joint can cause arthritis and joint damage. Moreover, the ability of grafting material to stimulate bone formation may cause problems if the graft migrates into the soft tissues. Occasionally, this may even stimulate formation of heterotopic bone in the soft tissues, which can cause scarring, stiffness, inflammation and pain.
The present invention addresses these problems by constraining the graft material at the site of application. For instance, one example of the present invention is to constrain graft material used with a comminuted Colles' fracture. By maintaining the graft material at the original site of application, this invention avoids the complications association with migration or drift of the graft material.
Thus, there is a need for a means to constrain graft material in its intended position and to hinder the graft material from migration. This need is met by a device according to the invention having one end for constraining the graft material and an opposite end for receiving a fastening means for attachment to stable bone cortex.
The present invention will now be described in greater detail hereinbelow, with the aid of embodiments shown in the drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side sectional view, taken on line 1--1 in FIG. 2 of a first embodiment of the invention, applied on the radius;
FIG. 2 is a top view, of the embodiment of FIG. 1
FIG. 3 is a top view, of a second embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 4 is a top view, of a third embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 5 is a side sectional view, taken on line V--V in FIG.6 of a fourth embodiment of the invention, applied on the radius;
FIG. 6 is a top view, of the embodiment in FIG. 5; and
FIGS. 7 and 8 are cross-section views of optional plates used with the invention.
In this description the expression "constraining end" is used to indicate the part of the graft constraint device which actually constrains the graft material. The expression "fastening end" is used to indicate the part of the graft constraint device which receives the fastening means for securing the device to a stable bone cortex.
The first embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of a graft constraint device 10 having one constraining end 12 and one fastening end 13. The graft constraint device 10 is applied to a stable bone cortex of the radius 17 with fastening means. In this embodiment the fastening means is a screw 11 and a washer 14. In other embodiments the fastening means is only a screw, i.e. no washer is needed. The constraining end 12 of the graft constraint device 10 is formed into a plate 15 covering the opening into which the graft material 1 is inserted. In this embodiment and as viewed in FIG. 2 the plate 15 is broader than the fastening end 13. The size and design of the plate 15 is determined based on the conditions at the actual site of application, such as the positions and sizes of the fractures and fragments. Thus, in some embodiments the plate 15 may have the same width or even be narrower than the fastening end 13. At the outer end of the plate 15 pointed projections 16 are furnished for engagement with bone cortex. In another embodiment (not shown) the plate has no pointed projections. The graft constraint device 10 is secured to the radius 17 after the graft material has been placed. In a further embodiment (not shown) the plate has the form of a mesh or is furnished with multiple openings to allow ingrowth of blood vessels in the graft material.
Also in the second embodiment, shown in FIG. 3, the graft constraint device 20 has a fastening end 23 and a constraining end 22. The fastening end 23 is similar to the fastening end 13 of the first embodiment and has an opening 26 for receiving a fastening means. The constraining end 22 comprises malleable fingers 25, which allow contouring to the uneven anatomical site of application. The openings between the fingers 25 allow ingrowth of blood vessels into the grafting material.
In the third embodiment, shown in FIG. 4, the graft constraint device 30 is a wire bent into a U-shape. The diameter of the wire is preferably between 0.010" to 0.250". The base of the "U" forms the fastening end 33 and the upper part of the "fingers" 35 of the "U" forms the constraining end 32. This graft constraint device 30 is fastened at stable bone cortex by means of a screw 11 and washer 14. Also this embodiment is malleable enough to allow contouring to the actual site of application and allow ingrowth of blood vessels into the grafting material 1.
As an option, pointed projections cooperating with bone cortex are furnished at the outer ends of the fingers 35 of the graft constraint device 30 made of a wire bent into a U-shape. The pointed projections may be formed by bending the outer part of the wires 35. The site of the bend decides how far into, or even through, the graft the projections will go.
As a further option a small plate (FIGS. 7, 8) is placed between the extraosseous surface of the radius and the fingers 35 of the U. In this way the load of the graft constraint device is spread over a wider area. In its most simple embodiment the plate 50 is a simple straight plate. In further embodiments the plate is furnished with means to constrain the plate from migrating. The means to constrain the plate from migrating may have any suitable form such as the plate having a raised area 51 between the fingers 35 of the U, forming two seats 52 for receiving the fingers 35 of the U, or having two small holes placed near the distal edge of the plate to allow passage for the pointed projections of the bent fingers 35 of the U. If needed said plate is bent to conform to the dorsal surface.
The fourth embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is especially intended for use with synthetic graft materials. One example of such material is synthetic "bone paste" made by Norian Corp. The bone paste is injected into the osseous defect and allowed to harden. A graft constraint device according to the previous embodiments would constrain the material, but would not prevent the graft material from displacing proximally within the bone itself. The graft constraint device 40 according to this embodiment is U-shaped with the base of the "U" forming the fastening end 43. The fastening end 43 receives a screw 41 and washer 44 for securing the device to stable bone cortex. The constraint end 42 of the device 40 has the form of fingers 45 bent downward to project into the graft material 1. In use the fingers 45 are placed in the graft material while it is still soft. Then the synthetic graft material is allowed to harden around the fingers 45 projecting into the graft material.
In further embodiments (not shown) the constraining end is a combination of the above embodiment and one of the previous embodiments. Thus, it has several "fingers" of which at least one projects into the graft material and at least one lies over the graft material.
The graft constraint device is made thin and may in some embodiments be formed to follow the contour of the site of application, to minimize any discomfort for the patient. The graft constraint device is unobtrusive to avoid irritation of the adjacent soft tissue.
A person skilled in the art realizes that the graft constraint device, at the same time as being soft enough to contour, has sufficient stiffness for its intended purpose as a buttress.
In the embodiments shown in the figures screws with or without washers are used as fastening means. A person skilled in the art perceives that other fastening means may be used. Thus, in other embodiments pins, wires, blades, staples, brackets or indirect coaption with another device scurely attached to the stable bone is used instead of screws to apply the device to a stable bone cortex.
As an option, pointed projections cooperating with bone cortex are furnishedat the constraining end 12,22,32,42 of the graft constraint device 10,20,30,40 according to the different embodiments. The form of these pointed projections varies in that they may be pointed or not, and may be long enough to pass through a hole placed in the graft, such as a small hole drilled through a piece of cortical bone graft. Such an application would further constrain the graft material from slipping under the device.
The above description has referred to but a limited number of embodiments of the present invention, but it will be readily perceived by a person skilled in the art that the present invention encompasses a large number of embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

I had been checking these Shorts out for awhile, but thought the price was a bit high, then i read the 2 Reviews, & made the decision to purchase a pair, WOW! These shorts are amazing, the denim is divine and yes totally worth the money, the fit is perfect i ordered a 28 & it fits exactly as the Model, i am going to order another pair size down for a slight fitted look, i'm hooked, well worth it!!!
I am (and only cuz I just had a baby) 160lbs and 5'6"... A 30 is loose on me, I think a 29 would fit like the model and a 28 would be fitted. I wear a 28 in a stretch TR . ( Billy or Julie) they look good un rolled as well... Love them.
LOVE at first sight! Totally worth the money & even prettier in person. As always, TR has the BEST workmanship; these are truly a work of art! They run TTS if you prefer to wear them boyfriend (looser, like on model) style; if you want them more snug (but still fit great) you can buy 1/2 size down. I normally wear a 28 in stretch TR but a 27 looks great in this style, just a bit more fitted than shown above. Can't wait till summer to wear them!

Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
09 Oct 2011 19:58 GMT | Politics, Europe, Germany, Poland, Russia
The ruling centre-right Civic Platform (PO) party of Donald Tusk, the Polish prime minister, is comfortably ahead in parliamentary elections, an exit poll showed after voting stations closed.The poll, conducted on Sunday for national television, showed the pro-business, pro-European Union party winning 39.6 per cent against 30.1 per cent for the nationalist-conservative Law and Justice party of Jaroslaw Kaczynski.
If the poll numbers remain as they are, Tusk's party would make history by becoming the first to win two consecutive terms since the fall of communism in 1989.
The PO, along with its coaltion partner, the Peasants' Party (PSL), will have enough seats to form a new government, the exit poll showed, projecting a total of 212 seats for PO in the 450-member Sejm, the lower house of parliament, and 27 seats for PSL.The elections were predicted to determine whether the country would continue on its conciliatory course with Russia and Germany, or whether it would returns to a more combative stance with the historic foes.
Opinion polls had suggested the left-wing Palikot's Movement, a new party which supports gay rights, abortion and legalisation of soft drugs, could emerge as a potential partner for Tusk's party.
'Stable development'
Tusk, who steered the country of more than 38 million people safely through the 2008-2009 global financial crisis, has portrayed himself as a guardian of stability and has claimed he will continue a cautious approach to economic reforms if he wins.
"At stake in this election are security and the stable development of our country. In my view, only PO [Civic Platform] guarantees that," Tusk said on Friday.
His opponents accuse him of lacking the courage to make ambitious reforms in a country with significant problems, such as high unemployment at around 11 per cent and heavy state regulation that allegedly stifles businesses.
Law and Justice leaders had promised more state involvement in the economy, including a bank tax and higher taxes for the rich, and vowed to wind down large-scale privatisation carried out since the PO took power in late 2007.
"If Poland becomes a strong, developed country, we won't have to privatise Polish companies, sell state firms for peanuts or privatise hospitals," Kaczynski told the Fakt tabloid.
Immediate challenge
Analysts believe Poland's main immediate challenge is to curb the public debt and deficit, which ballooned during the financial crisis.
Ratings agencies have said they could downgrade Poland if it does not swiftly act to reduce the budget deficit, expected to reach 5.6 per cent of gross domestic product this year, and the public debt, expected to reach 53.8 per cent of GDP this year.
Economists doubt Law and Justice would be able to meet the challenge and a short-term sell-off would be likely on Polish financial markets if it won.
The current coalition, however, has failed to deliver on the far-reaching liberal market reforms Tusk originally promised.
The rise in support for Palikot's Movement came as a surprise. It was founded by a maverick lawmaker, Janusz Palikot, who is with Poland's powerful Roman Catholic clergy and favors many liberal causes.
Palikot's party was in third place in some recent polls, ahead of some established parties, and appeared to be benefiting from voters' disillusionment and increasing secularism.
More than 30 million people were eligible to vote in the election.

washing machines top loading
WE are looking for a new washer and are finding some of the new ones have very short, (almost as if no agitator. We talked to a dealer and he said that the machines like that don't clean the clothes very well at all. He does not even push to sell them. Anyone with any help on this?
I see you're new....welcome.
This topic has been frequently discussed here for a number of years. Suggest using the "search" function. You'll find lots of previous discussion.
Basically, the entire country has gone HE (High Efficiency) and "Energy Star" rated. That's the why of the difference you described compared with years ago. The opinions about how well they work are all over the map, as you will see when you search.
There is one remaining manufacturer of "old tech" top loading washers with agitator. That would be Speed Queen. Pretty much like you may remember the bullet-proof Maytags of two decades ago used to be. No computers. All analog/mechanical. Even in this high-tech, high-efficiency, Energy-Star world, owners/users give it very high praise everywhere I look. I don't own one, so I don't know. I've seen them in showrooms. They look solid to me. Still not cheap. About $800.00.
I have now owned my Speed Queen top load washer and dryer for two months now. It is absolutely the best washing machine I have ever owned (and I've owned quite a few over the years).
I can fit a king sized bedspread in it and it still moves freely, but not a king sized quilt. Other than that I can fit the same amount of towels, etc. in the Speed Queen as I could my Whirlpool Duet. Everything is fresh, clean, and well rinsed. It spins towels out just as dry as my Duet did.When you select hot water that is what you get...straight hot water.
I make a lot of quilts, so I'm going to go ahead and add a new Whirlpool front loader to my laundry room just for those or chair cushions. I could keep the old Duet going, but I want something new in my new house. I've never minced words here about my basic dislike for front loaders after owning two different brands,but I don't want to go to the laundromat either. We have kitties so I have to wash our quilts frequently.The Speed Queen front loader will not fit a king quilt or I would get a Speed Queen.
If washing large quilts is not an issue with you then a Speed Queen top load washer is a wonderful machine.
I have the new LG top loaders with no agitator. It does a fantastic job of cleaning. I use it in a vacation rental so it gets seriou hard use and has held up very well. My cleaning service uses the pair once a week to wash towels and linens for ten guests ten beds and a ton of towels. They come out really clean and the dryer is fantastic too as they only have four hours to do it all.
Fisher & Paykel's EcoSmart agitator machine can operate in a semi-HE mode (with a low-water shower rinse) or with a water-guzzling standard agitated rinse. Their wash action is designed to reduce energy usage but is still a deep-fill agitated wash. All cycles except Perm Press (Regular, Heavy, Delicate, and Allergy) begin the wash period by filling at the selected temperature (there are FIVE temps) with a small amount of water to saturate the clothes and create a concentrated detergent solution which is then showered over the load (via the machine's pump) for approx 3 to 4 mins while the basket rotates at 25 RPM. The machine then fills to a normal water level (auto-sensed or 5 manual selections) with cold water for an agitated wash. A programming option allows a full-fill hot wash when desired.
My Maytag Bravos HE toploader has been a great washer. It does everything I need it to do, extremely well. It has its own internal water heater, so that I can have true hot or warm water when I need it. And its huge capacity enables me to wash even king-size comforters and sleeping bags with no problem at all.
OP, if you buy a current washer, even if it's a TL with an agitator, it may not give you true hot water unless it has an internal water heater. If you want or need to wash in true hot water, this is something to be aware of. HTH
I just bought a Speed Queen top loader. It is awesome, entire backload finished in 4 hours. The old Maytag literally leaked, overflowed, burnt up and anything else that could go wrong on the first load. So basically 2 weeks done in less time than 1 used to take. Can't speak highly enough - surpassed all my expectations.
Two appealing characteristics of the Speed Queen "old tech" machine is that the full-cycle time is about 35 minutes (just like mom's old Maytag) and it's really simple to use. As with the old Maytag, my hired care-givers wouldn't have to learn anything new and they could get a couple loads finished in their limited time without my having to finish the job later.
I'm very pleased with my 2005 Duet at another location, but it's cycle-times are, indeed, longer and one does have to learn exactly how it works for best results. At that location, the larger capacity is a great help and the time doesn't matter.

We had a great time staying here. It was a hard weekend for us as we were robbed in San Francisco during our vacation. The staff helped us get everything under control and in the end everything was reconciled. Thank you West Cliff Inn.

This was our first time staying here and it was our anniversary. The staff was very nice and helpful, showing us around when we got there and making us feel very welcome and comfortable. We stayed in the Bungalow Room in the back. It was very cute and small which is what we expected. We liked how it was more private having our own little room away from the main house, yet we could still enjoy the great food and views from the house and balconies.

Room was a wee bit smaller than pictures seem to make it look, but the bathroom more than made up for it. Private balcony with two very relaxing rocking chairs (room #7) and the breakfast was amazing. Wasn't expecting much considering past experiences with hotels but I was very happy with my stay, and felt it was definitely worth the money. Staff was very friendly and helpful, other guests were friendly and quiet as well. Will stay again.

Chef was amazing, food outstanding, fresh and yummy. Was upgraded from the cottage to the first floor, king bed, fireplace with ocean view, no extra charge. With a quick call, the helpful and friendly staff allowed us to check in a bit early. First experience with a B&B, loved it. Will be a customer for life.

We went to celebrate out 35th wedding anniversary. Our room had a fantastic view of the Santa Cruz Beach. The walk along West Cliff Drive was beautiful. The staff was all very nice. Both breakfasts were outstanding! Would definitely recommend this B&B to friends. We look forward to another stay in the future!

I retired last year at the age of 50 and after working long hours, raising 3 incredible boys, it is Mom and Dad time !! We love to travel and stay in B& B's whenever possible. Having numerous venues to compare this to, this rates near the top !! Starting with the inn keeper when you walk in to the final checkout, it is a first class operation. The rooms, hot tub, breakfast, staff and of course coffee on the veranda with the breath taking view of the pier is one of a kind. Love, love, love it !!! Can't wait to stay on our next visit to the area !!! You WON'T be disappointed. Enjoy !!

Also known as: Doctor of Psychology
A psychologist is someone who studies mental processes and human behaviour by observing, interpreting, and recording how people relate to one another and the environment. Some psychologists work independently, doing research or working only with patients or clients. Others work as part of a healthcare team, collaborating with physicians, social workers, and others to treat illness and promote overall wellness.
Would you make a good psychologist? Sokanu's free assessment reveals your exact compatibility with this career, your strengths, and any unique areas of interest.
A psychologist will typically do the following:
Psychologists seek to understand and explain thoughts, emotions, feelings, and behaviour. Depending on the topic of study, psychologists use techniques such as observation, assessment, and experimentation to develop theories about the beliefs and feelings that influence a person's actions.
Psychologists often gather information and evaluate behaviour through controlled laboratory experiments, psychoanalysis, or psychotherapy. They also may administer personality, performance, aptitude, or intelligence tests. They look for patterns of behaviour or cause-and-effect relationships between events, and use this information when testing theories in their research or treating patients.
Some psychologists work alone, which may include independent research or individually counselling patients. Others work as part of a healthcare team, collaborating with physicians, social workers, and others to treat illness and promote overall wellness. Many clinical and counselling psychologists in private practice have their own offices and can set their own schedules. Other typical workplaces include clinics, hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, and community and mental health centres. Most research psychologists work in colleges and universities, government agencies, or private research organizations.
Most school psychologists work in public schools, ranging in level from nursery school through college. They also work in private schools, universities, hospitals and clinics, community treatment centres, and independent practice.
Psychologists in private practice can often set their own hours, and many work part time as independent consultants. However, they often offer evening or weekend hours to accommodate clients. Those employed in hospitals, nursing homes, or other healthcare facilities may also have evening or weekend shifts. Most psychologists working in clinics, government, industry, or schools work full-time schedules during regular business hours.

Arlington Mayor Pro Tem Kathryn Wilemon has been named chairwoman of the Regional Transportation Council.
In her newly announced position, Wilemon will lead the North Central Texas Council of Governments' transportation policymaking body for the next year.
She succeeds Denton Mayor Pro Tem Pete Kamp. Wilemon served as vice chairwoman during the past year and as secretary the previous year.
Named the council's new vice chairman is Dallas County Commissioner Mike Cantrell, who has served as secretary in 2012-13. Meanwhile, Parker County Judge Mark Riley has been elected secretary.
The council oversees transportation planning for the 12-county Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, one of the nation's fastest-growing regions. It guides the development of roadway, rail and bicycle-pedestrian transportation plans and programs; allocates transportation funds; and recommends projects to the Texas Transportation Commission for other programs.
Wilemon has been a member of the council since 2003, with Cantrell serving on the council since 2007 and Riley appointed in 2009. The new officers will serve until June 2014.
The North Central Council of Governments assists local governments in planning for common needs, cooperating for mutual benefit, and coordinating for sound regional development. It serves a 16-county region of North Central Texas, centered on Fort Worth and Dallas. Among its 240 member governments are 16 counties, 170 cities, 24 school districts, and 30 special districts.

Two years ago, LIFE FORCE made the decision to raise the bar and require all of its flight crew members who have been with the program more than one year to obtain board certification in critical care transport medicine.
Erlanger is pleased to announce the entire crew has accomplished this goal. Twenty-one flight nurses and twenty-two paramedics have obtained certification in either flight registered nurse (CFRN) or flight paramedic (FP-C).
"This is quite an accomplishment for the Erlanger Health System and the LIFE FORCE program," said Robbie Tester, LIFE FORCE Program Manager. "We are now the only program in the four-state region and one of a few programs in the country that have set this standard of excellence."
LIFE FORCE has four helicopter bases: Chattanooga, Tenn., Sparta, Tenn., McCaysville, Ga. and Calhoun, Ga. The crew is comprised of a pilot, flight nurse and flight paramedic at each base who provides on-the-scene and in-flight critical care treatment such as trauma service, heart and stroke intervention, cutting edge pediatric care and high risk labor and delivery services to the patients in the helicopters. The support team for the program also consists of communication specialists, aviation and maintenance technicians and an educational, outreach and leadership team.
100% of LIFE FORCE Flight Nurses and Paramedics Board Certified

The park is in a great location right on Moosehead Lake. The road to the park from Greenville is paved, but a little rough. The sites are wooded and well spaced so you don't have to listen to your neighbors. There are only a couple of pull through sites. The only threaded water supply is at the dump station. There is water throughout the campground and out houses. There is one central bath house with showers and toilets. The staff is friendly and we saw deer in the park each day we were there. We camped at Lily Bay State Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: May, 2013 - $29.00
This state park is pretty. The roads are quite rough getting to the park the last 5 to 6 miles. So rough that cabinets that never opened in three years did fly open. The sites are extremely tight for bigger rigs and more geared for tents and pop ups. This is a nice place to fish and hang out. We camped at Lily Bay State Park in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: August, 2006 - $32.00
Fun, relaxing, scenic, reasonalbly priced. Hope to return. We camped at Lily Bay State Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2004 - $18.00
This is another great Maine State Park way up north on Moosehead Lake. The sites were wooded and many right on the water. We had a wooded site and it is quite private and peaceful. There are hot showers but no utilities. You can boat, fish, swim, hike and see a lot of wildlife. Just outside the park we saw a number of moose on different days. Be careful though -they are big and will be protective especially the mothers with their young. It gets very dark at night even in August, if you are in a wooded campsite, so bring flashlights. It is a beautiful area of Maine and the campground is great. We camped at Lily Bay State Park in a Motorhome.Undo
This is a very primitive State Park way up in the mountains on Moosehead Lake, it is awesome. This was our first visit to Maine and we stayed here for a couple nights in a tent. Awesome scenery, great hiking trails nearby, fishing, sightseeing. Very clean and after 10pm you could here a pin drop it was so quiet. We are already talking about going back up there, but we live in NC so it may be a while. Could not find any reviews on the park before we booked a reservation but sure glad we stayed here. We camped at Lily Bay State Park in a Tent.Undo

All quotes tagged Educate
(4040 quotes found)
"One essential part of education is not to make more money in the future; it is to make better persons: 'educated', cultured, professional if not civil. Education needs money, time and dedication. The purpose of money, therefore, is to get us more educated, not the other way around. Education is a treasure more valuable than money."
"No one should claim choice was a panacea for solving the really knotty problems in public education. It defused a situation that never should have existed."
"Don't waste your time trying to please the world when that's something God himself can't even accomplish."
"Education is not meant to only make one think outside-the-box but, more importantly,to get the box of ego and self-interest out of one's thought process, albeit not directly"
"This bill would help all towns in Connecticut increase the funds received for out-placed special education students. The programs are mandated but the state isn't mandated to pay."
"It is the experience of learning and not the record of perfection that ultimately define ourselves."
"Education is not earned in an mba program, in school, university, nor by getting a PhD,or by completing a course of some kind. Education is given to you by your loved ones as you grow up."
"Show your children tolerance, humility, respect, honesty, and curiosity towards the universe they are faced with. In sum, help them to open their minds, so they will be able to see the beauty in the vastness of our world."

Remeber, this was the mainstream distribution media for software for ~30 years (how often did you have to return original SW due to a bad floppy?).

I remember having to send a bunch of floppies with WordPerfect for Dos back to WordPerfect.... But that wasn't due to a bad floppy, well it was, but not due to unreliability... It was due to WordPerfect being shipped from the factory with the Jerusalem-B virus on it.

I had a similar experience with a set of progressive lens also. My doctor didn't push the progressives, but did recommend that I give them a try. He did say they are not for everyone. So I though, hey, why not give it a go.
Worst mistake I had made with those damn progressives. I had an zone of focus that amounted to looking through a straw, and everything else being out of focus. Any time that I moved my head to look at something else, the out of focus areas would rise and fall in a wave like motion as they came into the focused zone. Now, I'm not typically one to get motion sickness, or seasick, but I tell you, those progressives did mess with me. I gave them a good six weeks to "get used to them" and it didn't happen. Took them back and had the lens replaced with regular ones, and haven't looked back since.
I know people that have progressives and love them, but I have talked with just as many people that hated them. I'm in the latter group. I would not recommend them at all.

Now especially with this crowd, computers could be a grey area - we probably all use them for work, but I'm sure we all use them for fun also.

Milkshake Mission Lands Car In Snowbank
Originally published on Wed March 12, 2014 7:32 am
Good morning, I'm David Greene.
A teenager in Michigan just wanted a milkshake. She and a cousin went to McDonald's, but it was closed. They used their GPS, found another McDonald's 12 miles away, also closed. The next McDonald's no longer existed. Around this point, their car got caught in a snow bank. Worried family members called police, who searched for hours. The cousins spent the night in the car, and walked to a business in the morning to call for help.
They may have had that GPS, just no cell phone. Turned into quite a McFiasco.
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
