OT: POTD: I swear brugs are a lot prettier .....
good morning everyone
Hope to hear some great news today from some of you.
See pictures...........hear that Karyn? We are awaiting to hear how it went :-)
I think I made a timely mistake when I signed up for Facebook yesterday....before Christmas and not having done a thing yet lol
Well yesterday I looked out in the yard from the living room window. thinking all I will see is dead things...well I grabbed my Camera and ran outside. From POTD for December 09
Found me something ALIVE lol
NOT pretty...but ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol The distance from the house to THEM was mighty great...and they popped right into my sight...so you can just imagine how HUGE they are!!!
Hubby said they look like Turkey Vultures....is he right?
HAPPY TGIF to all
Good morning all. Lucy, that is some picture you took there! I have no clue what they are, but they are interesting to look at. I did google and they certainly look like Turkey Vultures. The pictures show that they have red heads, but in the description it says those with gray heads are immature ones. Thanks for the lesson, LOL!
Dorothy it was just meant to be. They did not even fly away when I was real close. But then all the trees were really in the way.
Eloise thanks for reading up more on them. So DH is right that they actually get even BIGGER!
SCARY....lol as long as they do not go after me! At least I FEEL alive most of the time ha ha ha
Eloise I know. Usually when members are MIA and SOMEONE gets in touch with them....you hear back.
I am with you, I have not seen BOB anywhere and just hope that he is doing ok. As his better half Laura. Maybe and hopefully work is just keeping him busy.
One day he hopefully finds his way back to the forum and if it is just for a quick hello.
Now he has a little reminder that he is thought of, lots :-)
They can be so destructive. There's several areas around here that have been overrun with Turkey Vultures. We call them Turkey Buzzards. They destroy houses by pulling off roof tiles, asphalt and flashing and they pick out the weather stripping around car windows as well as cause other damage. On the plus side they do clean up all the road kill and are interesting looking.
Interesting picture. I agree with Ingrid, keep Precious away from these guys. We keep our Yorkies inside because of rattlesnakes, coyotes, foxes, mountain lions, hawks and owls. I feel like we are living in Africa sometimes.
Ingrid, you were such a loving pet owner. Have you thought of asking Santa for a chihuahua puppy for Christmas this year?
Lucy, now that you know you have vulture close by you should watch Precious. I used to go out with my Amazon Parrot on my shoulder until my son saw and took a picture of a hawk in my back yard! Now that I know I am very careful when I take him out.
Yes, the brugs are way, way prettier no comparison.
Jillbean, - everybody suggests that to me. HOWEVER:
There are two good reasons why not to have another puppy and I would always have two, for company.
No. 1--- after retiring, I found many distractions for myself. I am lucky to have found many new friends, and I'm gone "celebrating life" almost every day of the week. So the puppies would be home alone a lot.
No. 2---- I'm getting up there in age. If I should die before my pets, what would happen to them? Maybe someone would take one, but what about the other? They would be separated, they would be miserable, they would "fly" from one place to the other. - Not a good life.
I have my memories. I still cry when I get to talking about my Lucy and Carly.
But hey, I got a NEW "upper" in my life now: Brugmansias. And thank the Lord that I found this forum, I cherish being able to connect to all of you. Thank you.
Yup, those are turkey buzzards. I once saw 63!!! of them all together at once sitting in a couple dead trees. It was very foggy & I made DH turn around & go back because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. We sat in the car about 10' from them & counted. They just sat there & watched us. They are really ugly up close. It would have made the coolest picture but we were on our way somewhere & didn't have time to go back home for the camera. That is a sight I will probably never see again. Friends who own a car lot near the roosting trees said they were there every day until the sun came out & then they flew away & came back in the evening. Construction took the trees they sat on & I haven't seen them since. There were about a dozen in someone's yard that made the news a few days ago but that was nothing compared to 63. LOL
Linda do you know where Lake Linganore is? They were overrun with Turkey Buzzards. Hundreds of them destroying multi million dollar homes along with the home owners cars and boats. I'm not sure what the ultimate solution to the problem was but I think they are a protected species here.
Karyn like I said....the stories you know about them...I am GLAD this was the first and hopefully last time I saw them around lol
Linda your story reminded me of the movie: The Birds. Well I actually only know the german title lol. Die Voegel.
INGRID HELP lol But man that movie scared the living $%^#@& out of me and for the longest time I was scared of bird gatherings lol
Good pic. I grew up with them in Mississippi but its rare to see them up here in MN (and only ever in the summer).
Petwise, you might want to get more info as I was under the impression they're carrion eaters as opposed to active predators...but you'de likely want to investigate further before 'trusting' that.
Back in the 80s my mother was still able to tool around and did a lot of visiting of relatives around the south. She passed through and couldn't resist getting me a hat from a little unincorporated community she passed through in northern MS...
Name: Buzzard Roost, Mississippi. She didn't say whether it was full of buzzards though - LOL
I believe buzzards only eat dead things. They are always circling the shop since so many deer get thrown in the woods up there. Someone above us hunts and throws away the carcass. The dogs are always dragging deer legs down to the shop. Gross. Great pic though. Going to HEB reminds me of the movie The Birds. They had to cut the trees down in the parking lot because all those black birds were crapping on everyones cars so bad. There are thousands of them on the power lines and lining the edges of the roof sometimes and its so loud its scarry. Gives me the creeps, lol.
Kristy Baily loves to roll around in deer entrails too. It's so gross. Of course she tries to hop in my car after her blood and guts bath. I don't think so! We allow people to bow hunt on the farm and they dump the deer entrails in the woods after gutting them. Bailey always finds them. I rarely take her to the farm during the fall and winter anymore because of it. I also think the buzzards are carrion eaters as I always see them around road kill but we have plenty of hawks and owls that will pick off a small dog. Cats are usually too smart to be caught.

Another iPhone, Another Day Of Long Lines And Big Hype
Originally published on Fri September 21, 2012 10:51 am
It's a "now familiar global ritual," as The Associated Press says: Apple fans are lining up today at stores "from Sydney to Paris to pick up the tech juggernaut's latest iPhone."
That would be the iPhone 5, which the company unveiled earlier this month.
According to The Wall Street Journal, some crooks in Japan got the jump on everyone:
"Osaka police said 191 of Apple's latest must-have smartphone were stolen in the wee hours leading up to the official launch. As of Friday at noon, three stores were hit across Japan's western metropolis in an unusual string of robberies targeting the hottest tech toy this fall."
Earlier today, Morning Edition checked in with a guy named Ian DeBorja. He was on line outside an Apple store in San Francisco — and was being paid $55 to hold that place for four hours. It's the first time "he's being paid for his patience," Morning Edition says.

text: Hi all, 7.1-R, RAID1 on 4 ST31500341AS via a Promise TX4-300. The RAID array is purly userland data ... Nothing for the OS. The OS is on it's own disks ad0 & ad1 I'm not exactly sure when it happened, I started out with 6.2-R, Then fresh Installed 6.4-R, Then fresh Installed 7.0-R, Then fresh Installed 7.1-R. Yes, I've done alot of different configs - I'm Educating! Sometime during all this I started getting the following error on the RAID disks: GEOM: adX: the secondary GPT table is corrupt or invalid. GEOM: adX: using the primary only -- recovery suggested. Across all 4 disks of the RAID (ad4,ad6,ad8,ad10). The OS disks are fine. After some code research I find an undocumented "recover" command that recovers GPT tables. gpt recover adXClears the error though damages the mirror. gmirror label Data adXFixes the mirror but brings back the original error. Is there a way out of this without losing the data, Yea, I have a BUP but it is many many hours to restore. (over 2TB) Thanks -Enjoy fh : )_~

What's New
PewPew 2
PewPew 2 is the best multidirectional shoot them up on Android.
Expect retro graphics, megatons of enemies, and a frame rate achieved by no other game (except PewPew).
There are nine game modes, and a campaign with 3 levels of difficulties so even the weakes... *AHEM*
So even the strongest of you will have some challenge!
And now, a list of the features:
-a deep story with drama, romance, and mystery.
-crops to grow and birds to throw, to keep in touch with nature.
-private information sharing with several companies, because we *care* about you.
-targeted advertising, so that you aren't disturbed by pointless ads.
Wait. That was a list of what's not included, here we go:
-frames per seconds (a LOT)
-9 games modes (2 of which must be unlocked)
-8 unlockable ships with offensive defense (bullets shot in every direction when hit).
-a campaign, with 3 level of difficulties and boss fights
-online scores, with replays
-awesome music
-XPERIA PLAY Optimized

-6 game modes and 12 different types of enemies
-Different weapons and bombs
-3D sound effects & nice background music
-Swarm integration for on-line leaderboards & achievements

ray,war,raywar,twin stick,twin stick shooter,dual stick,dual stick shooter,space shooter,shut em up,geometry wars
Win medals, unlock ships, and compete on the online ladder board.
There are five VERY different game modes:
Some enemies explode when they die, and the other spin maniacally everywhere. Hide from the explosions or deftly go through them.
*Dodge this:
As you collect boxes, there are more and more enemies moving around. Naturally, you have to dodge them all.
You fight against waves of enemies. Spoiler: at the end, they win and you die.
*Chromatic Conflict (NSF color blinds):
Enemies of different color appear. You can only destroy the ones that are the same color as your ship.
Need I say more?

Now a few notes:
-Kill as many background app you can, this can considerably increase the smoothness.
-Seriously, kill them all.
-On some devices (such as my Nexus One) the touch screen has trouble handling touches on the same horizontal or vertical axis. That is why by default the joysticks are in diagonal. You can try moving the joysticks to the bottom using the settings menu, but it might result in poor controls.
-No personal data is sold and there are no ads. I'm really sorry ads-lover.
Glow is inspired by Geometry Wars. You will see very awesome graphics with glow effect just like Geometry Wars! Don't worry about fps! In this game, we use tiled base rendering tech. Some old device, such as Milestone One, can also run it with high fps!

Tilt Arena
Game mode: Survival
All about having a ton of weapons, using them to blow stuff up spectacularly, and changing them often. Grabbing weapon pickups increases the score multiplier so don't get too attached to one.
Note: The permission to access identity and phone calls is for Scoreloop's online leaderboard. That system is changing soon so this (overly scary) permission is thankfully temporary.
GeoTecha has three game modes:
Survival - Survive an endless stream of enemies that attempt to kill you by colliding with you.
Asteroids - Inspired by the classic Asteroids game, but with a GeoTecha twist.
Minefield - Navigate a field of obstacles and mines that explode with a few other nasty surprises.
GeoTecha has three difficulty settings: Easy, Normal, and Hard. Each affects the game play and the score is multiplied by the difficulty level.
Permissions: GeoTecha requires the VIBRATE permission in order to provide haptic feedback when you take damage. Vibrations can be disabled from the options menu.

Cor aut Mors
(Heart or Death?)
"Come on. Up now, sweetheart." The man chuckled as he stared down the girl. The moan of response wasn't much to go on but it was better than no response at all. It was good to know she was coming back but a bad thing as well. It meant he'd have to deal with her mood on the current situation. Not that there was much of a situation. He was quick to learn however, that she could make a situation out of nothing. He was certain that her recklessness was bound to get her killed one day. Not that he was one to talk.
The moment Ryker had heard her taking off he watched her go in amusement. She was right when she had said she wouldn't be able to move much with a wound that deep but it seemed the girl still had some fight left in her. The chase was probably one of the most thrilling things as a wolf. He was certain any hunter would think so. Aside from the death and feeling that power in your hands, Ryker had always found the chase interesting. He enjoyed watching his prey attempt to break free and watch as everything came crashing down around them.
That fear and energy that came out as they ran was what he hungered for. She had lots of it. He knew that from the moment he laid eyes upon her. They always were livelier when being put to the stake. It was her calmness that had him then he was in for a treat. To keep composure through it all but he had managed to get a taste of her spitfire. Her emotions were what he took note of the most. She may be good at hiding them but it was a frail mask. Easy to crack with just the right words.
"You may want to rethink your type in men." He continued as she pulled herself up into a sitting position. Only this time he didn't take his eyes off the little vixen. He knew better. Though she had been easy to track, had it not been for the Vampire he knew he would've lost sight of her after the river. He would have figure out in which direction she went afterwards only by then it may have been too late. The water had managed to destroy the last of her bloody scent along with her natural scent. It was these parts of the woods that had helped mask her scent. The forest reeked of leeches and so had it not been for the voices he may not have stumbled upon the two.
The man was a fool. He saw that right off the bat seeing as he hadn't even noticed he was being watched from the trees. And by a 'mutt' no less. For a moment Ryker had believed that the man had seen him but when his eyes simply passed over him he let the corners of his mouth twitch upwards in a smile of triumph. But then again, perhaps this man knew the girl better than he did as he never took his gaze off her for more than a few seconds.
He watched the encounter take place, instantly realizing the girl's feeble attempts of escape and wondering just why she was struggling with her own kind. However, it soon dawned on him that with a charming personality like hers she most likely made more enemies than friends. He found that he could hear the conversation taking place with ease, with only the sounds of the forest to occasionally distract him.
It had both shocked and appalled Ryker the second he understood just what the man had in mind. The mere thought of feeding was something that disgusted him to no ends and so when it was on their own as well, he was simply glad his forefathers had been in the right mind to head into the woods. He supposed he had a soft part for damsels in distress. Though this girl was far from being a damsel he could no longer watch the scene and decided to intervene.
"Men?" She muttered as she rested her head back against the tree. Her voice was quite hoarse and if anything her response satisfied him. It meant that she was weak enough to manipulate. "No…Not my type…." She finally replied as she looked over to the body. His eyes joined as well.
It hadn't taken much to knock out the leech. He was certain there was no state more vulnerable than when a Vampire was feeding. Even sleep didn't compare. It was true that during the day many of them were weak but he had faced old enough Vampires during the day and barely got by without having his limbs severed. The fact that he survived them all simply showed who the greater species was.
"And what is your type?" Ryker asked with a slightly bitter laugh. He didn't believe their species to even have 'types' seeing as their goal was too overpopulated. He knew enough about Vampire politics and their mating process was just one of the many ways they were different from each other. Where a Vampire's aim was to simply have the lands over running with their so-called superior race, a wolf's was entirely different. Their soul mates became their other half. They cared for each other, protected each other and in extreme cases would without a doubt, sacrifice themselves for the other.
A concept Ryker still had trouble wrapping his head around.
How you were able to bond with someone and simply give your entire self... well, it was safe to say he didn't exactly believe in having another 'half'. He simply didn't have the patience for a shadow and it was almost as though this girl was a test. So far she had managed to tested his temper and patience but not to the point of wanting to kill her. As much as he wanted to rid the world of yet another leech it'd have to wait.
"I don't have a type." She snarled her irritated clear as day, causing Ryker to smirk. What took it a step further was when she tried to sit up and found herself bound. "What the hell?" She hissed and almost immediately began struggling against the restraints. It was interesting how despite the fact the chains were digging into her skin and now drawing blood, she continued to lash out against them. It was entertaining to watch and Ryker was certain he could do such a thing all day but truth be told, he didn't have the time for it. As much as he wished his life could be relaxed as a king's and sentence his subjects to do his work, this wasn't the case. He had more important things to do then chase after Vampiresses which made him wonder, why was he?
He could put someone else up to this task but that was another thing he had trouble with. Trust. How exactly could he trust that someone would bring her back? If he didn't do it himself then there was still a chance that she could escape from him and he wasn't about to risk that. Besides, after all the trouble she had cost him, it was time to have her pay up. "I'd stop struggling if I were you," He explained as he walked over to her and picked up one of the chains. "Know what this is?" He asked, holding it under her nose and watching as she instantly threw her head back, trying to get as far away as possible. Being chained up however, she didn't get far. "That's right. Silver. Had a few friends of mine bring it over. See what a great deal of effort we put into capturing you?" He chuckled as he let the chain slip from his grasp.
"Oh yes. I'm touched."
He grinned slightly to her sarcasm before shrugging. "You really do have no one to blame but yourself. Taking off like that, twice now I should mention, and with a wound like that. No wonder you passed out for so long…" He trailed off when he realized he was slowly losing her attention.
"How…How long has he been out?" She asked and nodded towards the unconscious figure next to her.
"Does it matter?" He asked somewhat curiously. If he didn't see or hear it himself he wouldn't have believed it but now he wasn't too sure. Now, he just thought he heard a hint of worry and perhaps fear. Something that made little sense to him. Fear of your own race wasn't as common in the Pack. You held a sort of respect for each other that could be also considered as fear but there was no such thing as pure fear. He thought he saw it in her eyes for a second but when she met his gaze once more, whatever it was that he saw, was gone. She shrugged off the comment and he decided to not poke any further. The matter didn't concern him. But she did. There was something she wasn't telling him and he was going to find out what it was, even if that meant sitting here all say with her all day. He just hoped she'd cave before then. "Are you ready to talk now, Princess?" He asked with a faint growl of annoyance.
"I thought we were already talking." She retorted but seemed to be fighting consciousness but Ryker wasn't about to wait another hour for his answers. She could rest later, for the rest of her after life in fact as he no longer had use of her once he got what he needed. He never thought of himself to be a heartless being but letting her go was not an option. Her life was only prolonged due to the information her mind held and even that he didn't know if it was worth anything. But the more she changed the matter, the more curious he was and the more he believed her mind to be guarding secrets. "I don't have time for this…" He muttered as turned and headed off a bit into the forest.
He didn't want to have to play dirty but it seemed he was going to have to. Although he was walking away from the girl, he continued to glance behind his shoulder every now and again. It was much like last time, but this time she was stuck and had an unconscious buddy watching her. He shook his head at the sight, seeing her head droop and guessing she wasn't far from passing out now. Crouching down behind a fallen tree, he steadied his breath and closed his eyes. He could hear the breathing of the leeches but their scent it what he found easier to grasp onto.
But it wasn't them that need to watch. The soft heartbeat of another had his eyes lifted up before him. He could see quite the distance and although he was still in human form, it was good enough. He saw the tail, the body and watched as the creature froze. It was as though the wolf in him decided to take over. He too stilled all movement and didn't dare to breathe. This had to be perfect…
Hunting in wolf form was definitely easier but he had run out of clothes. After attacking the girl's lover, he was able to take both the jacket and pants despite the smell. But shifting again and tearing apart these clothes as well wasn't a good idea. He'd have to wear these garments till he got back to camp.
He waited till its head tilted down to feed before springing to his feet and taking off. Wide eyes lifted up to search for the sound and for a moment are just frozen in place. Confusion strikes it as to why a human would be running at such a fast pace but it should know better. There are no humans around here anymore… It takes off but its speed is nothing compare to the predator.
He lunged at it, taking it down by digging his fingers into its coat, hard enough to draw blood and grunts soft when the doe struggles to get back to its feet. It doesn't take long for him to put the thing out of its misery and for a moment he stared down upon it. The lifeless thing in a pool of blood and it may have been strange to see him feel pity towards the creature, yet he could slaughter a Vampire without blinking an eye. But the creature was innocent, caught up in the mess only because it was caught in the wrong place, at the wrong time. The leeches on the other hand were guilty of many things. Breathing for example…
Tossing the carcass over his shoulder, he hauled it back with a minimum ease and dropped it before the Vampiress. She woke with a start, and for a moment look confused on her whereabouts. But upon noticing him a glare replaced her perplexed expression. Her eyes however, only remained on him for less than a second as her object of desire became the bloody doe. "What are you doing?" She licked her lips and Ryker watched with a smile as her irises swirled, changing into that unearthly shade of red. The bloodlust, something he could always rely on to loosen those dammed tongues of theirs.
"We both know the critical state you're in. No point in denying it." Ryker stated as he wiped the blood off his black jeans and hooked his thumbs in his pockets. He suddenly stopped where he was, not wanting to get in between a Vampire and its meal for he knew things could get messy. "And well, you need the blood." He gestured before smiling faintly as he watched her emotions fly across her face. She was biting her lip so hard that he was surprised she didn't break skin and as he heard the rattles of chains, he knew her hunger had won. The fact she was chained no longer matter and neither did the fact she was losing more blood. It seemed like a small price to pay for something of more value.
"And what do you want in returned?" She questioned with as much spite as she could but it was pointless now. He could see right her facade. He could see her weakness and that was why she was just like the rest. She was just as filthy as the rest. They'd do anything and everything for that single drop of blood. They killed anything with a heartbeat and thought of nothing more. All that matter to them was their own survival and health. And so, was it a wonder he believed such selfish things should be exterminated? "Just a bit of information. Such as to why you're lurking well out of your district." He countered.
"And if I don't agree?"
Ryker chuckled, knowing it was her last resort. She may not want to tell him anything just yet but she would, soon enough. "If you don't, then I'll leave you chained here to the mercies of your lover." The look on her face was priceless as he could tell she hadn't thought of that. She began cursing at him in some tongue or another but he only caught every other word. The chains were becoming strained but Ryker didn't move to fix them. They'd hold, especially when her health was this low. She didn't have the strength needed to break free of those chains without lose more than it was worth. "If you're done…" He interrupted her as when she began to speak of his body odor. "Your decision?"
She stared at him for what seemed to be the longest time and it was then Ryker believed this would take more effort than he thought. But thankfully, a miracle of some sort happened. It seemed the blows he delivered to the head weren't powerful enough or he had underestimated the leech, for a few feet away, the figure began to stir. "Okay." She nodded quickly. "Okay. We'll do it your way. But first, we need to get the hell out of here. And to do that, you're going to have to release me." He slowly walked towards her, contemplating her so-called offer and came to crouch down before her. For once, she didn't show any signs of disgust by his scent and neither did he. Instead, she seemed to be much more interested in his the secret he held behind his eyes.
"You see, that promise may be reliable if you were anything but what you are." He explained to her as he played with the chains that bound her, teasing her by loosening the hold only to tighten it once more. "I want a different sort of promise. Something a little more…concrete." He continued and realizing he was beginning to lose her, he leaned forward and in a low voice, whispered the words she probably feared but held her freedom.
"I want you to perform a blood oath."

QUEENSLAND, Australia (PRWEB) November 19, 2014
An advocate of living in the moment, Barbara Anne Syassen tells a story of a young girls special relationship with a special tree in her book The Tree That Talks.
Detailing how young Annabellas sad feelings went away after spending time with nature, The Tree That Talks conveys the message of importance of meditation and positive thinking in our daily lives.
Spending time and connecting with nature helps us experience a peaceful, relaxed and happy state of mind, which makes it easy for us to pray, meditate, visualize positive thoughts and connect to the Inner God, Syassen says.
Endowed with The Gold Award for Literary Excellence in 2013, The Tree That Talks also contains biblical phrases and a short guide to meditation for carers, parents and teachers of children.
A lot of children naturally live in the moment, but dont truly understand how to use it effectively, Syassen says. I encourage parents

In the second part of their conversation, Prof John Milbank and Dr Simon Oliver continue to explore the notion of 'The Gift'. The discussion moves on from the reciprocity of gift giving and the idea of a 'purified' gift that is only given one way without the necessity for being returned; to the idea that a gift can be returned by a simple smile.
The next part of the discussion looks at how Christians can receive the Gift of Christ's own sacrifice and how it informs the sacramental life of the church.
The Department in Nottingham has many internationally renowned experts in various areas of scholarship that make up the disciplines of theology and religious studies. In a series of 10 minute videos, they explain why they study particular problems, periods, people; and in discussion explain why they find these topics fascinating and important.
The religious dimension of human beings expresses itself, in every system of belief, in objects. Sometimes these objects are obviously religious symbols, others belong to a faith's rituals and tell us about its systems of belief, while some are everyday things that may not even appear 'religious' yet can give us an insight into how people view themselves, their universe, and matters of ultimate concern. This series of short films looks at how we can uncover rich theologies in such objects of belief.
Celebrating the passing of time is one of the key ways that religions express themselves as communities; and the various calendars they produce become central to their identities. Most people are familiar with the idea from Christian festivals such as Christmas and Easter - but a quick look at the front of any diary will show that every religion has a calendar of its own.
Theology is a discipline that thrives on dialogue and discussion; and academic theology sets as one of its aims the creation of spaces of discourse in place of discord. In these videos theologians discuss their work and questions that they see as significant today.
Bibledex is a project of the Department of Theology and Religious Studies in conjunction with video journalist Brady Haran.

Eric Church sure knows how to make an entrance. The 'Cold One' singer walked unassumingly on stage Saturday night at Country Jam Colorado, picking the electric intro to 'The Outsiders.' Within moments his band had filed in, preparing for a chorus that was explosive -- literally.
Over the course of the three-day Taste of Country Music Festival, over a dozen of the top performers stopped backstage to chat with ToC and talk about ... stuff. Thomas Rhett revealed why he won't gamble with Darius Rucker. Thompson Square talked "Bus Rules."
Brad Paisley and Randy Houser's sets at the 2014 Taste of Country Music Festival couldn't have been more different, but both men left the crowd wanting more. Paisley was the Saturday night headliner, but the 'Goodnight Kiss' singer was the day's biggest surprise.
Backstage at the Taste of Country Music Festival, country artists like Craig Morgan and the Cadillac Three offered their own take on the selfie.

Epoxy grout with calacatta marble tile?
So we are in the planning/purchasing phase of our master bathroom remodel. When we purchsed the 12x12 calacatta marble tiles for the floor the tile shop owner sold us white epoxy grout. Now after reading the Spectralock website I see it's safe for marble but that white marble may soak up the grout through the sides of the tile and create a 'picture-frame' effect.
Also based on the Spectralock site, Epoxy contains sand and could scratch our polished marble tile.
We purchased the tile and epoxy while out of state so we can't take back/exchange for something else, so I am hoping we can use it. Otherwise we will just have to buy regular non-sanded grout and chalk it up to a learning experience.
Spectralock suggests conducting a test area prior to grouting to see if the results are acceptable. If we do a test area, how long would we have to wait to see results? I am assuming it would need to completely dry to truly know if we have the 'picture frame' effect. It is my understanding that once you mix epoxy you have a 80 minutes to work with it. Is it possible to only mix a little bit in order to test the product or do you have to mix it all at the same time? If we have to mix it all at once I am not sure how we can conduct a true test of the product and results.
- Has anyone used epoxy grout with calacatta marble?
- Could I use epoxy if I pre-seal the tile before grouting (after installation onto the floor) or would sealing the side of the tile prevent a good bond?
Thanks. I appreciate any advice.
Okay-- a couple of things. First, the sand in Spectralock is extremely fine. It's not going to scratch anything. Secondly, I've used standard sanded cement based grouts on polished marble before in commercial installations, and never scratched it, even grouting using a buffing machine and burlap. Secondly, if you're going to use epoxy on polished stone, you ought to consider as part of the process using an epoxy glaze remover. You WILL leave a little of the epoxy matrix on the face of the stone, and it'll be blatantly obvious, because of the polish, If you're having this done by a pro, he'll most likely want a premium for that (and rightly so). As for sealing prior to grouting, it won't help with epoxy.
Thanks bill. So you don't think I will have an issue with the "picture frame" effect? Shouldn't I still test the tile?
Also regarding removing the cured epoxy film or haze -Laticrete suggests using a combination of a neutral pH detergent/water solution and extra LATICRETE SpectraLOCK PRO Grout Part C powder. They also recommend trying a combination of LATICRETE SpectraLOCK PRO Grout Part C powder with Miracle Company � Epoxy Grout Film Remover or Dominion Restoration - Petra 7. Is there an epoxy glaze remover you suggest?
Lastly, will we be ok to go with a 1/16" grout line with epoxy grout?
Epoxy grout with marble is pretty useless and expensive overkill. It's like putting a brand new set of suspenders onto a pair of pants that are so threadbare they're getting ready to fall apart. It's wasted money and effort. The marble is porous, and will need repeated sealing as regular maintenance. You might as well use standard grout and just plan on sealing the entire surface at one time, grout an all. (And none of that sealing will ever prevent the marble from being etched.) All the epoxy grout will do is make the install hell and cost a lot more, and possibly damage the tile itself with residue or grout remover if you don't have a VERY skilled installer who uses the right products and really knows what he is doing.
The standard epoxy removal tool of vinegar won't work in this situation as it will etch the marble, and frankly, I don't know of a product that will remove the haze and still leave the marble undamaged. However, my experience with epoxy is with "bulletproof" porcelain in order to create an almost "zero maintenance" environment, which is the very opposite spirit of any marble shower. I'm sure somewhere someone has created a grout haze remover that isn't acid based, but I'll bet from just my basic knowledge of chemistry it mostly involves elbow grease rather than chemical action.
Thanks bill. So you don't think I will have an issue with the "picture frame" effect?
You may for a while, until the epoxy resins completely cure and dry out. No way around that with natural stone. That still doesn't stop those who wish to do this kind of installation.
Is there an epoxy glaze remover you suggest?
Hands down, Petra 7 is tops for removing epoxy haze, but I've yet to see any place where it's available to the general public. Stoine Tech makes an epoxy glaze remover that's almost as good, and IS available to the public, and will not harm polished stone.
Lastly, will we be ok to go with a 1/16" grout line with epoxy grout?
I won't say epoxy in general, but Spectralock will be fine.
Epoxy grout with marble is pretty useless and expensive overkill.
Useless, no. Overkill, I'll agree with. But that hasn't stopped those who've really wanted to use it.
I don't know of a product that will remove the haze and still leave the marble undamaged.
I just gave two, one of which is available to the public, and usually pretty easy to find.
I'm sure somewhere someone has created a grout haze remover that isn't acid based, but I'll bet from just my basic knowledge of chemistry it mostly involves elbow grease rather than chemical action.
My son and I, 2 months ago, cleaned about 2000 feet with the Stone Tech product in about 4 hours on this following installation:
I've installed lots of epoxy grout, and regular grout too. They both need cleaning from time to time. Epoxy can come back to the original light beige color. I use a steamer (cheap steam nozzle device) and a drop of bleach. The other kind of grout can be pretty good too, if you use GroutBoost. Web search this word.
How is GroutBoost & what is it used for?
Our tile dealer is pushing it as a 95% of the way grout stain resistor ADDITIVE vs. the added expense of an epoxy like Spectralock.
Still a rather large $750 upcharge for GroutBoost
Here is a link that might be useful: Groutboost Specs
Our installer used boost in one of the bathrooms, as a way to best avoid stain and mildew. I think it was about $50/bottle. One bottle gets mixed with one container of grout instead of using water. Installer had no issue with using it. I think it was unsanded grout as well (I forget the brand, Tec I think) as we used a combination of glass and subway tile).
We used epoxy grout on the shower floors (ceramic tile) in our steam shower. Grout with boost was used on the walls, because we have some marble mosaic accents.
Bill, I know this is an old thread just seeing if I reach you. What do you know about TEC power grout. My installer likes and uses power grout. And I have Carrera marble in master bath, a Basketweave in another and calacatta gold marble subway in kitchen. Will my marble be ok with him using power grout and not scratch? I'm being told it won't scratch. Then my other question, is when a second coat of sealer is put on after the tile is grouted, will it still adhere to my tile? Just wondering if power grout getting on my tile would prevent the sealing of the stone? Thx
Mrs D-- I know I already answered you by email, but for the benefit of those searching the thread-- I'm not familiar with power grout. Not because it's not a good product (TEC has a terrific reputation), but because there are no distributors up here, unless you have a show room. That said, if your installer says he can do the installation without scratching the stone, I'd take him at his word. As for the sealer, personally, I'd prefer to seal it once-- when everything is done. Whichever way your installer wants to do it, I'd go with his recommendation. Some would rather seal twice, others all at one time.
I would not use an epoxy grout on Marble myself. Marble is like a sponge.
I only recommend one epoxy grout and it is the one from Laticrete that I use and have for years.

Low-Frequency Loudspeaker Assessment by Nearfield Sound-Pressure Measurement
A loudspeaker test technique is described which depends on nearfield pressure measurements made in a nonanechoic environment. The technique allows extremely simple measurements to be made of frequency response, power response, distortion, and electroacoustical efficiency.

PETA Offers X-Prize for Artificial Meat 1130
from the surprisingly-practical dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
That will be one bland, inedible hunk of meat. Fat is where the flavor and tenderness comes from. Why do you think T-bones, delmnicos and strip steaks taste so good? They have ribbons of fat in them. Same goes for pot roasts. Loads of fat, loads of flavor. This is the same reason most pork nowadays is so bland. We've bred out most of the fat in pigs (except for the bacon portion).
Flavor also comes from the bones. Marrow provides the flavor and is used when making stock.
If we're going to manufacture meat from non-animals, I want my fat and bones. It goes along with my high fat, high sugar, high cholesterol way of eating. I want flavor! If I wanted blandness, I'd eat tofu.
If nothing else, PETA is getting better looking representatives [mainichi.jp] when at events.

Investors have had a love-hate relationship with emerging markets this year. They love developing-world bonds, but feel far less enthusiastic about EM stocks.
Case in point: On Monday, Petróleo Brasileiro PBR -3.9800995024875623% Petroleo Brasileiro S/A ADS U.S.: NYSE USD5.79 -0.24 -3.9800995024875623% /Date(1427403688097-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 44861712 AFTER HOURS USD5.77 -0.0200000000000005 -0.3454231433506045% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 411885 P/E Ratio 4.402707018477682 Market Cap 40339501228.9441 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1686500 More quote details and news » (ticker: PBR) sold $11 billion of bonds, the biggest emerging-market debt sale ever. Reports suggest that the deal was so popular that Petrobras, as the company is more commonly known, had received orders for more than $40 billion worth of bonds. And because of the record demand, the Brazilian oil giant was able to lower the yield it pays on its 10-year debt to 4.522%.
Petrobras has an investment-grade rating but it's not exactly a paragon of corporate virtue. It's spending like crazy, borrowing like mad, and stuck with a majority owner—the Brazilian government—that has forced it to sell gas for less than cost. And in case this was news to investors, Moody's Investors Service on Tuesday reminded them that it had a negative outlook for the company's credit rating for these very reasons.
Yet for now, Petrobras' king-sized yields make all that moot. To put it in perspective, that 4.552% yield on its 10-year bond was 2.6 percentage points more than the 1.9% yield on a 10-year U.S. Treasury bond, and 1.6 points more than the yield on a 10-year Brazilian government bond. "Everyone is looking for yield," says Russ Dallen, managing partner at Caracas Capital Markets. "And Petrobras offered people competitive yields over what they can find elsewhere."
Petrobras' bonds are so popular, in fact, that they show up in mutual funds that have little or nothing to do with emerging markets. According to Morningstar, Petrobras bonds make up 3.4% of the Sextant Short-Term Bond fund (STBFX), 2.9% of the Forward Investment Grade Fixed Income fund (AIFIX) and 1.9% of the Pimco Floating Income fund (PFIAX). And the new issue likely attracted such funds as well, says William Perry, an emerging-market-bond portfolio manager at Stone Harbor Investment Partners. "There was a substantial amount of crossover buying precisely because you get this pickup over developed markets," he says.
STILL, THERE'S SOMETHING IRONIC about investors clamoring for the bonds of a big, state-operated energy company at the same time most wouldn't be caught dead buying Petrobras stock. Even EM stock-fund managers appear reluctant to own the Brazilian oil giant. Among the 10 largest, Petrobras makes up just 0.65% of their portfolios, on average, well below the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index EEM -0.9315206445115811% iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 39.35 -0.37 -0.9315206445115811% /Date(1427403600152-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 72515926 AFTER HOURS 39.35 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4464221 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.7192935196950443% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF's (EEM) 1.05% position.
Investors continue to prefer emerging-market bonds over stocks. Part of the reason is performance: The iShares Emerging Markets Corporate Bond CEMB 0.020238818053025704% iShares Emerging Markets Corporate Bond ETF BATS Trading 49.42 0.01 0.020238818053025704% /Date(1427403294338-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 350 AFTER HOURS 49.23 -0.38445973290165925% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 4.319854309995953% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (CEMB) yields 3.4% and has returned 0.9% this year, versus the SPDR Barclays Intermediate Term Treasury ITE -0.1520510362608667% SPDR Barclays Intermediate Term Treasury ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 60.414 -0.092 -0.1520510362608667% /Date(1427403530022-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9527 AFTER HOURS 60.4 -0.0140000000000029 -0.023173436620650842% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.0699175687754494% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF's (ITE) 1.5% yield and 0.2% return.

But emerging-market stocks also come with greater volatility. The iShares ETF has a three-year standard deviation—a measure of the size of its price swings—of 21.5, compared to just 14.98 for the SPDR S&P 500.
That extra volatility provides an extra boost when economic growth is booming. But these days, growth is hard to come by. "Investors are prepared to dip into the risk pool," says Mehran Nakhjavani, a strategist at research shop MRB Partners. "But they want to stay in the shallow end."

quote:While most jobs flying drones currently are military-related, universities and colleges expect that to change by 2015, when the Federal Aviation Administration is due to release regulations for unmanned aircraft in domestic airspace. Once those regulations are in place, the FAA predicts that 10,000 commercial drones will be operating in the U.S. within five years.Although just three schools currently offer degrees in piloting unmanned aircraft, many others including community colleges offer training for remote pilots. And those numbers figure are set to increase, with some aviation industry analysts predicting drones will eventually come to dominate the U.S. skies in terms of jobs.
I know that you, trying to sell the drones, don't care. But ask the rest of the people. Do they want to see your drone to go vertical right above their heads?

VIEWS: 12 PAGES: 77 CATEGORY: Medical: Surgery POSTED ON: 4/12/2012
The present invention relates generally to medical apparatus and methods and more particularly to devices and methods that are useable to treat disorders of the paranasal sinuses as well as other ear, nose & throat disorders.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is currently the most common type of surgery used to treat chronic sinusitis. In a typical FESS procedure, an endoscope is inserted into the nostril along with one or more surgical instruments. Thesurgical instruments are then used to cut tissue and/or bone, cauterize, suction, etc. In most FESS procedures, the natural ostium (e.g., opening) of at least one paranasal sinus is surgically enlarged to improve drainage from the sinus cavity. Theendoscope provides a direct line-of-sight view whereby the surgeon is typically able to visualize some but not all anatomical structures within the surgical field. Under visualization through the endoscope, the surgeon may remove diseased orhypertrophic tissue or bone and may enlarge the ostia of the sinuses to restore normal drainage of the sinuses. FESS procedures can be effective in the treatment of sinusitis and for the removal of tumors, polyps and other aberrant growths from thenose. The surgical instruments used in the prior art FESS procedures have included; applicators, chisels, curettes, elevators, forceps, gouges, hooks, knives, saws, mallets, morselizers, needle holders, osteotomes, ostium seekers, probes, punches,backbiters, rasps, retractors, rongeurs, scissors, snares, specula, suction canulae and trocars. The majority of such instruments are of substantially rigid design. In order to adequately view the operative field through the endoscope and/or to allow insertion and use of rigid instruments, many FESS procedures of the prior art have included the surgical removal or modification of normal anatomicalstructures. For example, in many prior art FESS procedures, a total uncinectomy (e.g., removal of the uncinate proc

A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they're not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances.

Despite what the other definitions on here say, a person who catfishes online is not a catfish. The term "catfishing" (online) derives from real-world fishing. The person who is catfishing puts the bait out there, and waits for someone to bite. The person who falls for the bait and believes the catfisher is the catfish.

Teens Having Harder Time Buying Tobacco
Illegal sales of tobacco to minors in New Hampshire dipped in 2013, as more retailers in the state refused underage customers.
The Department of Health and Human Services, along with Division of Liquor staff members, sent underage buyers into more than 300 retailers around the state. Roughly 89% of vendors turned away sales, up two percent from 2012.
State public health director Jose Montero says convenience store clerks aren't the only ones who can protect children.
"Anything we can do as parents, as schools, as society and community to prevent children to start smoking is one of the best investments we can have," says Montero.
Teens in New Hampshire maintain one of the highest smoking rates in the region. Nearly one in five high schoolers smoke, and 8% say they chew tobacco.
