Wow! Phillips to short, anyone? Anyone? Beuhler?
Mark, what are the chances that the PTBNL from the Brewers is JJ Hardy? The trading of AGon would fit if that were the case.
Very little. My understanding is the return for Weathers will be a low-level minor leaguer. Most of the time, not always, that's what PTBNL's are.
woohoo!!! I am doing the dance of joy! The Reds have just made themselves substantially better. I would imagine that no matter who they throw at ss our team batting average is going to climb 20 + points.
Wow, I can't believe that we found a team dumb enough to actually give us a player in return.
I don't quite understand the Barker callup. With 2 catchers on the team we always have a backup first basemen. what we don't have right now is a backup for the other infield positions. I guess phillips could fill in and votto to second in an emergency situation.
On a similar note. Janish looked great in the field last night. Sadly his bat resembled Gonzo's just a little to much. The good news though is that he is probably 1/10 th the price.

I use RTM for my lesson planning - it is flexible, requires no re-writing things out, and I can immediately create lesson prep tasks for myself while I do lesson planning. It has saved me a lot of writing! Additionally, viewing completed tasks and the notes I've made along the way have helped me compose our weekly journal reports - an administrative exercise I use for accountability.I use a simple system of all caps for the subject, tags for kiddos' names, and notes for progress, struggles, successes, etc. A typical lesson plan task would be entered like this:MATH: Lesson 33 – Sets with Stickers #puppy #frog ^todayIf it didn't get done, just postpone to the next school day. I keep the format like this to sort by task name and still be able to tackle the lessons in their proper order. Tasks with my name tagged are lesson prep that I need to do.---------http://www.thebucks.org/?p=829

My daughter came home with her usual bouncy, free spirited, attitude. She usually rolls through the door like an electrically charged ball, so when she flopped through the door with the daily spastic energy I'm used to, I didn't think to ask if anything could be wrong. It's been a few weeks of this now, assuming things are going well, listening to her stories of school, until last week the little girl that usually sits by her on the bus chose to sit six seats back from my daughter. I asked her about it later that day, "Why didn't Liv sit with you?" "Oh, she and Rose don't like me anymore. I don't know why. They just don't talk to me now." Apparently this had been going on for a little while. I asked her more about... Read more

This is a significant moment for the profession of design.
For the first time since the 1960s, human centered design is high on the agenda: issues such as accessibility, inclusivity and mobility are once more taking center stage. And as society looks for solutions to social problems of all kinds, it is to design – and designers – that it increasingly turns.
TYPO London 2012: Social provides a unique opportunity to investigate the myriad ways in which designers can function socially. And by 'functioning socially' we don't just mean in the socio-political sense: thanks to huge changes in the nature of media, the act of designing is, more than ever, a social act, whether it is working for a global brand or designing a new eco-friendly typeface.
There is no single path; there are many. But we can be sure of one thing: the socially minded designer is the designer best equipped to deal with the changes that we all face as a culture.

Tesia J.United StatesLoyal CustomerI have been using this product for many, many years. I have learned a few things about the best way to use it. Granted, when I first started, I tried to use the roll on feature and that just DID NOT work! What I have done for the longest time is take the cap off and use the popsicle stick thingies. Problem solved! The wax DOES get hot (at least the one i bought many years ago does) and I have never had a problem with it. The BEST thing is that the wax does not get everywhere and I love that I can just keep buying the little wax refill bottles.
My heater JUST pooped out on me after maybe 10 years (?) and now I'm here to buy a new one. I will update my review if I find the newer one to be of less quality (I know the brand has undergone changes so...)posted Oct 6, 2011Link to this post -

JennyVery DisappointedI just tried my roll-on waxer and agree with the majority of the reviews-it does not get hot enough-you should not have to leave it plugged in overnight to use-the directions say not to leave it plugged in for more than an hour! I did leave it on for about 5 hours and it still did not perform well-it felt like the roller was ripping off my skin as it dragged down my leg-finally got tired of trying to get it hot enough and put it in the microwave-when the wax was at the proper temperature, the roller worked great! I am going to return to store and look for one that has a better qualityheating element.-I love the roller when it works properly.posted Jan 15, 2011Link to this post

Michael, I suspecting that the resistance is due to the risks inherent to doing the state tracker. Doing a translation to the OpenGL layer is likely to not have nearly as many gotchas with Patents as the state tracker would.
It's a nifty thing, yes. But it's ill advised as it's litigation bait moreso than anything WINE might be about doing.

Non-OEM Inks: Let the Debate Flow
Even though third-party inks have been around for years, familiarity hasn't made them any less controversial. These inks may be flowing, but so too is the debate over their use. And like the inks themselves, the debate is hardly black and white. Some believe non-OEM inks represent a safe, viable, and sometimes superior alternative to inks recommended by printer makers. Others assert upstart inks are a hazard to printers, printer warranties and, by extension, the livelihoods of any print providers who use them.
Paul Lindquist, in business development with Cincinnati's Collins Ink, said the debate over third-party inks isn't as clear cut as some might assert. When third-party inks were introduced, many print service providers were intrigued by the potential cost savings, but shied away. They were flatly afraid to move away from OEM inks and risk losing their warranties, he noted.
That began to change about five years ago, when many smaller printers started acquiring a second important piece of print equipment. The second machine gave them a fallback position or insurance policy, ensuring they wouldn't be out of business if one printer failed. It also gave them leeway to try third-party inks. Suddenly, those non-OEM inks began picking up market share, and OEM inks were forced to lower their prices to maintain share and give print providers less reason to switch. The natural result? Third-party ink providers cut costs, too.
OEM inks are tuned to the machines on which they are meant to be used, and have a history on those machines, Lindquist asserted. "And even if you can get it for a lower price, you're putting your whole printer delivery system at risk," he added. Third-party ink providers knowledgeable about print heads of OEM machines can confidently create inks for those machines' heads. But unless they have undertaken complete compatibility tests of the printers' ink delivery systems, they don't understand issues of ink compatibility with O-rings, secondary tanks, and connectors, he said.
However, there's a whole other side of the story. The OEM ink is a general-purpose ink, and tends to work very well in the graphic arts marketplace, Lindquist said. But if a provider is predominantly printing on a single substrate, it's unlikely that the OEM ink is maximized for that substrate. "By going to a third-party provider of inks, you may be able to get that ink specialized for that substrate, or for different substrates on which the OEM ink doesn't have good adhesion or drop formation," he observed.
At this point in the revolution, both OEM and non-OEM inks have their places in the market. "There are some who still don't want the risk of third-party inks," Lindquist said. "And then again, there are some printers, especially in this tough economy, who in order to save much-needed capital will embrace the non-OEM inks."
A Third-party Ink Provider's View
AFFORD Inks of Madrid, Spain is a provider of third-party inks, but CEO Pedro J. Martinez doesn't view his company as merely an ink producer. "We see ourselves as a company that provides services around the ink," he said. "We manufacture this product, the ink, but we sell a complete package of services that support the ink, such as hotlines for printing or machine problems, spare parts supply, technical service support, ICC profiling, color calibration, and more."
AFFORD Inks assumes the same warranty manufacturers provide when their machines are purchased and assumes full responsibility if its ink causes damage to the machine, Martinez added. "However, let's not lose sight of the fact that the best manufacturer is not one that offers the warranty, but the one who does not have to receive claims."
He added he has seen many instances over the past 10 years in which inks were blamed for machine problems, but the failures had nothing to do with inks or machine. "Price is the main driving force for a customer to change from the original inks, but it may not be the only one," he added. "In some cases, we provide even better colors than the original inks, or better adhesion on different materials, better flexibility or more chemical resistance...We don't tend to be the cheapest on price, but when you compare all the associated services we offer, we are a bargain."
He strongly believes print providers should know what's behind non-OEM brands they are considering. AFFORD matches and in some situations exceeds manufacturer quality, Martinez said.
"Quality control is a must for non-OEM ink manufacturers," he noted. "It takes a lot of effort to convince customers of our advantages, and we can't afford a mistake. It will spread by word-of-mouth."
Martinez feels large-volume print providers have the greatest incentive to switch to third-party inks. "[It] really makes sense when you can save important quantities of money," he observed. "It does not seem so interesting if you are going to save, for example, 20 dollars in a year. However, the correct question is, 'Why should I pay more when there are solutions that offer me, at least, the same performance.'"
The Perspective of an OEM
Not surprisingly, printer manufacturer Roland DGA Corp. takes a distinctively different view of the use of third-party inks by shops using its printers. "In our experience, third-party inks compromise printer performance and can cause significant damage to a printer over time," said Andrew Oransky, director of product management with the Irvine, Calif.-based company.
"Probably the best reason to avoid third-party inks is the damage they can do to a printer. The different viscosities of third-party inks can lead to misting or ink buildup on many printer parts, including the print heads. So even if a third-party ink flows adequately through the system, it could be leaving a damaging residue that will impair a printer's ability to function properly in the future. Excessive overspray cannot only lead to poor image quality and more manual cleaning, but can actually damage sensitive electronics as it works its way into the carriage and other areas."
The issues some print service providers encounter using third-party inks go beyond these concerns, he said. In one recent instance, malfunctioning tabs on a third-party ink system failed, resulting in a printer continuing to run even when the color was depleted, and costing the shop $1,000 in wasted materials, Oransky reported.
Roland's service and support teams have been forced to repair at customer expense damaged linear encoders, timing belts, cap tops, and other components as a result of third-party inks, he said. "A print-head replacement costs more than $1,000," he said. "And these costs don't factor in the added downtime and maintenance involved in operating a printer with unmatched inks."
He also questions third-party ink makers' claims that their inks are of equal or better quality than the OEM inks. Noting Roland VersaWorks RIP software features media profiles exclusive to its own ink sets, he added that third-party inks are not supported by VersaWorks and limit a user's ability to utilize this bundled software program. "While many third-party suppliers make the claim that their inks have identical color to OEM inks, our testing has shown there is almost always a color shift or loss," he said. "Some jobs, it may be minor enough not to matter. But for picky customers that need to match corporate colors, it will make all the difference in the world."
With the Blessings of OEMs
Some ink providers don't fit into either of the two categories of OEM or non-OEM inks. The folks at 3M Graphics Market Center in St. Paul, Minn., like to separate themselves from other ink providers, said inks and warranty Business Manager Jennifer Greenquist. "We don't consider ourselves a third-party ink manufacturer," she explained. "That's because we only manufacture inks for digital printing equipment if we have the blessing of the ink manufacturer. So every ink we've manufactured—for Océ, for HP, for VUTEk, for Durst, Mimaki, Gandinnovations—we've done with their blessing. We won't launch a 3M branded ink without that relationship."
The 3M inks are not only not less expensive but are in fact more expensive than the OEM counterparts. "We're a little unique in that we manufacture substrates as well," Greenquist said. "We want to be able to offer the 3M MCS Warranty on finished graphics. To get the warranty you have to use 3M branded substrates and inks and follow our recommended procedures. We charge more than the OEM inks. And that's because the warranty is very valuable to our customers. They're very loyal to our products and our warranty, because of the long term testing we do, and the peace of mind it brings them."
In terms of quality, 3M's is higher than the OEMs, because the brand specifically formulates its ink for specific applications. For instance, if you want to digitally print on adhesive-backed vinyl and apply this vinyl to vehicles, the graphic needs to be able to conform to the curves of the vehicle. Not only does the media need to be flexible, but the inks must be as well. And because many customers want fade resistance for five years, the inks must be as durable as they are flexible, Greenquist said. "We don't focus on the performance of our inks on rigid substrates, for example, because we don't manufacture rigid substrates," she said. "Sometimes we find our inks perform well on rigid substrates, and other times another ink may perform better."
Finally, 3M has a reputation as an innovative and responsive company, she added. "We have technical assistance over the phone, backed by technicians in the labs who have expertise to help customers with these types of applications."

Nats, not Phillies, deal with pressure of expectations
Zimmermann opposes Kendrick at Nationals Park in Friday opener
For years, the pressure and expectations in the National League East rested on the shoulders of the Phillies. But that is not the case in 2013.
While few expected much before the season from the aging Phillies, the Nationals were a popular pick not only to make a run at their second consecutive division crown, but a World Series title, as well. But it has not gone to plan just yet for the Nationals, who enter the weekend a game above .500 at 24-23 after snapping a four-game losing streak Wednesday in San Francisco.
"The good news is that everyone is now learning how to be considered a very good ballclub and knowing that we know how to win ballgames," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "We hate to lose. Losing eats at us, and this is part of it. It's not like we're reinventing the wheel here, this is what you go through. This is how you mature."
The Nationals ended the Phillies' reign of five consecutive division titles a year ago, and Friday's game will be the first meeting between the two sides this season. Philadelphia enters the series just a game behind Washington, while both clubs are chasing Atlanta in the NL East.
Jordan Zimmermann will be on the mound for the Nationals, who have scored just nine runs in their past five games. Zimmermann has been one of the best pitchers in the NL this season and is 7-2 with 45 strikeouts, nine walks and a 1.62 ERA in nine outings.
The Phillies, meanwhile, will give the ball to right-hander Kyle Kendrick in the series opener as they look to return to the .500 mark for the first time since April 14.
Kendrick surrendered more than two earned runs in a start for just the second time this season his last time out, allowing four earned runs in six innings against the Reds. It was Kendrick's second loss of the season, but his ERA remained under three (2.82), and he has recorded 41 strikeouts to 14 walks in 60 2/3 innings.
The 28-year-old has a 4-5 record and 4.68 ERA in his career against the Nationals.
Nationals: Harper delivers day after blaming himself for loss
• Bryce Harper felt the Nationals' loss on Tuesday night was his fault after he misplayed a ninth-inning fly ball that allowed the Giants to tie the game and eventually win.
He channeled that frustration into helping the Nationals snap their four-game losing streak Wednesday.
Harper put the Nationals on the board against the Giants with a solo homer in the sixth inning, then scored the game-winning run in the 10th after reaching on a one-out double. He also made a sliding catch on Hunter Pence in the eighth, preventing the Giants from scoring a go-ahead run.
Phillies: Utley headed to DL with oblique strain
• The Phillies will be without Chase Utley at least until June 5, as the second baseman was diagnosed with what the club is calling a "very mild" Grade 1 right oblique strain on Thursday.
Utley felt discomfort in his right side on Tuesday while taking swings during batting practice and was a late scratch from the Phillies' lineup that night. He also sat out Wednesday when the team finished a three-game set in Miami and received an MRI exam on Thursday.
The five-time All-Star, who missed nearly half of the 2012 campaign with knee issues, is hitting .272 with seven home runs and 25 RBIs this season. Utility man Freddy Galvis -- batting .275 with a .333 on-base percentage in 27 games this season -- filled in at second base in the final two games at Miami and is expected to be the Phillies' regular second baseman with Utley on the DL.
Worth noting
• Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth will not make any appearances against his former club this weekend. The former Phillie is nursing a strained hamstring and has not played since May 2. Werth has a .260 batting average with four homers and 10 RBIs this season.
"He needs to be on the rest period," Johnson said. "You would think he knows better than that. He's been pushing it to get back and he needs to rest it."
• Delmon Young homered for the second straight game Wednesday. Young has three homers in 19 games in a Phillies uniform.
• Brad Lidge will retire as a Phillie on Aug. 1, and Curt Schilling will join the team's Wall of Fame on Aug. 2, the Phillies announced Wednesday.

United States Senator John Melcher explained to a crowd of approximately 1,000 people, most of whom were irrate non-Indians, that he has requested the U.S. Attorney General for assistance in helping Lake County in their legal battle over shoreline protection. Melcher stated if conflicts, such as this one, are not fully decided once and for all in the court system, that Congress has the responsibility to step in an enact legislation that will settle it. Lawsuits filed by the Salish and Kootenai Tribes, attempt to check further development of the south half of Flathead Lake. One particular suit, naming the Lake County Commissioners as co-defendents, is receiving a lot of attention. A public meeting was called last week by Senator Melcher to discuss Indian jurisdiction on the reservation. Many people at the meeting voiced their concern over the recently enacted Tribal Shoreline Protection Ordinance, 64-A. Lake shore property owners refuse to recognize the tribe's legal jurisdiction over control of the Lake's development, and believe that a 64-A provision requiring a tribal permit to construct docks and wharfs below the high water mark, is a violation of their constitutional rights.

KBIS 2011: Time to Refocus
LAS VEGAS— In the midst of the most turbulent economic times since the Great Depression, and faced with a diminishing exhibit base and attendance, the Kitchen/Bath Industry Show (KBIS) returns here in April with a daunting task. It must find a way to renew interest in a show that has long been seen as the industry centerpiece of design and product innovation, but now needs a reenergized exhibitor and attendee base.
See Editorial.
There's no question that the economy has had a profound impact on the kitchen and bath industry in recent years, leading dealers and manufacturers to reexamine everything from staffing, overhead costs and manufacturing processes to marketing, advertising budgets and travel expenses. But how much of what is currently going on with KBIS is tied to factors beyond the economy, specifically to changes within the industry and the way people view trade shows?
2010 National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) president Mark L. Karas, CMKBD, CR of Stoneham, MA-based Adams Kitchens, admits: "The economy has forced everyone in the industry to closely examine the resources that will most effectively help their business. [But] as the premiere opportunity for collaboration among peers [and showcase for] the latest trends and technology, I believe that KBIS remains one of those critical resources."
That said, he adds: "We're constantly looking to increase the value of KBIS."
Whether the NKBA's efforts to increase the show's value will have a significant impact on 2011 attendance figures remains to be seen. However, it's hard to ignore the change in attendance in recent years – a problem that is impacting many industry trade shows, and which has led some to question whether the annual trade show model itself may be outdated (see related story, Page 31).
Who's Attending?
In 2007, the last time KBIS took place in Las Vegas, official attendance totaled 44,154 kitchen and bath professionals and more than 1,000 exhibitors – considered "a record-breaking number of attendees," according to the Hackettstown-based NKBA, which owns the show.
In 2008, organizers reported "some 40,000 attendees" in Chicago, while the 2009 show in Atlanta attracted only 28,921 attendees and some 540 exhibitors, according to show organizers.
Moving the show back to Chicago in 2010 seemed to help increase attendance; NKBA officials cited a 30% increase in attendance from KBIS 2009 to KBIS 2010, with reported attendance of more than 37,000 and nearly 700 exhibitors. By comparison, there were 457 exhibitors committed to KBIS 2011 as of press time and, 15 weeks prior to the show, registered attendance numbers for 2011 totaled 5,867, compared to 3,228 at the same time in 2010, according to the NKBA.
However, there are currently only two exhibit halls leased by NKBA this year – compared to three used in Las Vegas in 2007 – and many manufacturers who are on board for the 2011 show are decreasing their booth space in response to the economy and other factors.
Additionally, the composition of the show has changed dramatically in the last few years, according to dealers and manufacturers interviewed by KBDN, with a significant drop-off in major cabinet and appliance manufacturers and a growing number of smaller booths from companies based overseas.
When asked about the drop-off in attendance by cabinet and appliance manufacturers and the changing composition of the show in general, Brian Pagel, v.p./kitchen and bath for Nielsen Expositions, the arm of New York, NY-based Nielsen that produces the show, declined comment and deferred his response to Karas – as did NKBA CEO Don Sciolaro. Karas also declined comment, noting: "Policy prevents me from sharing some of the statistical data requested."
Likewise, when asked about the square footage devoted to exhibitors this year as compared to previous years, NKBA declined comment.
Mandatory Attendance
As the number of exhibitors has declined and the composition of the show has shifted, opinions are split as to whether KBIS is a "must-see" event anymore.
Lenora Campos, Ph.D., manager/public relations for Morrow, GA-based TOTO USA, believes it is.
"KBIS is our major industry show, and we look at it as an excellent opportunity to strengthen relationships with existing customers, increase brand awareness, launch new products, expose our products to new customers and new markets, generate meaningful press coverage and gain customer insight," she says.
Others, such as former exhibitor Tim Schroeder, president of Duravit in Duluth, GA, believe the show no longer fits his firm's marketing strategy. "We're not convinced that the fair warrants the size of investment required to participate in a way that properly represents our brand," he says.
Susan Cross, brand and communications manager for Masco Cabinetry in Ann Arbor, MI, says her company remains a supporter of both KBIS and the International Builders' Show (IBS) and states: "As a returning exhibitor, both KBIS and IBS provide important opportunities for us to reach our customers. Our experiences have been positive at the shows and we look forward to connecting with current customers and meeting potential customers. In addition, we're committed to showing our support of the industry by supporting major show initiatives and educational events." All Masco Cabinetry brands will be at KBIS, Cross says.
However, Jody Rosenberg, v.p./ sales & marketing for Milwaukee, WI-based Graff, feels the show no longer provides enough return on investment to justify the expense. "I really don't believe it's a must-attend [show] anymore. When you're talking about bang for your buck, with KBIS you get the volume, but it's not necessarily the right people."
Other exhibitors, such as Strafford, TX-based Cosentino North America, are returning, yet in a more streamlined way. Notes Lorenzo Marquez, v.p./marketing for the firm: "We're strategically scheduling staff members to work show hours and days based on traffic flow from previous years."
Designers and dealers are also split on whether the show's costs can be justified in the current economy.
Jennifer Hissa, CKD, design/sales for Cabinetry Designs in San Antonio, TX, says she will not be attending this year. "We decided that we will put more money into advertising and local NKBA chapter events," she says.
On the other hand, Tom Trzcinski, president of Trzcinski Design Group and Kitchen & Bath Concepts in Pittsburgh, PA, believes: "As a business owner, you are foolish for not attending because there is always something new to learn."
Lori Jo Krengel of Kitchens by Krengel in St. Paul, MN, sees value in viewing the latest products. She notes: "In these times, you need to put your best foot forward and it is more about finding that needle in a haystack in terms of product. If that can translate into a discussion with a client, then they know I'm investing in the future and on the cutting edge."
She admits, however, that she can understand the hesitancy on the part of some dealers. "For many dealers or designers, when it's all over, [attending runs] $1,000 and they can't afford it," she says.
Return on Investment
While the economy is probably the greatest deterrent to attending or exhibiting at the show, diminishing return on investment (ROI) has been cited by some as a key concern.
Paul Leuthe, corporate marketing manager for Sub-Zero and Wolf in Madison, WI, explains: "We exhibited at KBIS for over 20 years, but when we looked at ROI, we decided to make some cuts. Choosing between laying off people or exhibiting, our senior management decided to [forego exhibiting at KBIS]." The firm stopped exhibiting at IBS back in 2005 as well, Leuthe adds.
Ann Rottinghaus, marketing communications director for Oak Brook, IL-based Elkay, shares Leuthe's sentiment. "We're not exhibiting this year because we see ROI and cost as two key challenges. KBIS certainly affords us the opportunity for continuing to foster customer relationships, but what we need from all shows – including KBIS – is to see new people. As costs for the show have not really moderated, it causes ROI to come into sharper focus." Schroeder, too, is more closely examining ROI, and says: "We plan to allocate our budget to those marketing opportunities that provide the biggest ROI, along with more flexible and dynamic criteria."
For Maureen McGeehan, retail marketing manager for DuPont Building Innovations in Wilmington, DE, it's less about the numbers than the quality of the leads. She states: "We've seen the show getting smaller, however, over the past few years we've seen higher quality leads."
Of course, for many, it comes down to simple economics. And Rosenberg says the costs for exhibitors are simply too hard to ignore. "That show can cost a manufacturer $150,000 for a booth with drayage and shipping, staff, hotel stays and restaurants. To take on all that expense and show only a few new items doesn't make sense. For cabinet and appliance companies, I cannot even imagine what they're spending, because it is all based on weight," he adds.
For perspective, he estimates that a 10'x20' booth at other conferences, such as the Decorative Plumbing & Hardware Associations' (DPHA), would allow exhibitors to showcase product for less than $5,000.
He continues: "At KBIS, it's $35 per square foot. You have the expense of shipping the product there and back, and creating a booth each year. I could see spending $150,000 every other year, but I can't justify doing it every year."
Marquez agrees that escalating costs make it more difficult to participate. "It all boils down to ROI. The economy is tough and companies, small and large, are strategically placing their dollars where they see the higher benefit. A [company] may rather spend money on a local ad campaign that drives sales versus spending funds on attending an industry show," he says.
For some manufacturers, it also comes down to examining other options, including European shows. As Barry Goldberg, president of Union Hardware in Bethesda, MD, notes: "All of the U.S.-based shows provide us with limited opportunities to differentiate ourselves from our primary competitors, so we believe the better investment is to go to the European shows."
Location, Location
The location of the show has also been a source of debate among attendees, as the host city plays a key role in both the cost and the number of attendees. Host cities are contracted years in advance, with only a small handful of cities in the rotation.
Traditionally, the Chicago shows have been well attended, in large part because the city is centrally located and easily accessible. As Karas notes: "Chicago is an important market, which is why KBIS will be back in 2012, and will continue to be considered along with other major markets for future shows."
However, others have argued that Chicago is excessively expensive, with high union fees making exhibiting cost prohibitive.
Additionally, returning to Chicago every other year gets stale for some. As Krengel states: "I've heard from several people that having the show in Chicago every other year makes people more apt to skip a show."
However, Las Vegas presents challenges not only in its less-than-central location, but also in the fact that it requires a mid-week show, which creates a huge strain on small firms that can't afford to be out of their showrooms for a full week.
The rotating schedule is designed to make the show accessible to everyone, and Karas says: "By changing locations, we share the convenience and value of KBIS with kitchen and bath professionals spread out over a huge geographical area."
But are the current location choices the best ones for attendees? When the show was at its zenith, few cities were able to accommodate such a huge event. However, times have changed, and many manufacturers and dealers feel the industry might be better served by considering less expensive alternatives to Chicago – and Las Vegas, for that matter. A smaller host city, they note, might be more cost effective. And adding some different cities to the mix might also help to rejuvenate KBIS, they point out.
"How about a mid-country spot like Denver, Houston or Dallas?" says Hissa. "I believe more people may attend the show if it is more regionally appealing to them."
Campos agrees: "TOTO believes it would be a good idea for KBIS to identify another city in which to host the show – possibilities might include Dallas, New York or San Francisco."
But Goldberg suggests that, while this may be a good idea in theory, the execution could be complicated by existing contractual agreements. "[The organizers of] KBIS have shown that they are interested in understanding and improving problems via surveys and focus groups (see related story below), but given that contracts for these convention centers are signed so many years out, I'm not sure these efforts can yield the necessary results in a timely enough manner unless enormous amounts of money are forfeited," he explains.
When asked if it would be possible to break venue contracts or what it would cost to do so, NKBA and Nielsen declined comment.
Crystal Ball
With all of the changes in the industry and a still-struggling economy, what do manufacturers and dealers/designers see as the future of KBIS?
Some, like Hissa, believe the show needs to evolve away from being primarily product focused. She states: "I would really like to see KBIS head more in the direction of a kitchen and bath design showcase rather than a product show. I do not need to travel across the country to see new colors coming out."
Others believe it will be technology that ultimately redefines the show. McGeehan states: "I believe the future for KBIS holds opportunities for expanding the reach through digital technologies like webcasts, podcasts and virtual booth tours," she says.
Rosenberg agrees: "The way social media is working, information is so readily available now. Perhaps the NKBA should look at a virtual show."
Cross believes KBIS can remain influential in the industry as long as it continues to evolve: "All trade shows try to continuously reinvent themselves so that they are relevant and representative of what is happening in the industry. I would expect that industry-leading shows, such as KBIS, would adhere to those best practices."
However, if KBIS doesn't evolve, many believe the show could be in trouble. Leuthe says: "I certainly do not want to see KBIS go away. But I think NKBA needs to take a look at the positive things that made manufacturers come and people want to attend, network and learn."
Karas concludes: "Our goal is to produce and deliver a show that serves the entire kitchen and bath industry in a way that isn't available otherwise and, despite the current economy, I'm confident KBIS in April will once again demonstrate that commitment."

25 Insanely Beautiful College Chapels
Whether you met your fiancé in Psych 101 or you're just a diehard fan of your beloved alma mater, going back to school for your wedding can be as meaningful as it gets. We rounded up twenty-five jaw-dropping campus chapels — some exclusive to alumni of that college and some not, and some that welcome all religions and some that limit ceremonies to one faith — that are as gorgeous as they are significant. Did we miss your university's amazing chapel? Let us know in the comments!
Baughman Center at the University of Florida
Contrary to rumors, this extremely coveted ceremony space is not booked five years in advance -- the chapel only accepts reservations a year out as a matter of policy. And though it only fits 96 people, the Baughman Center is nothing less than a showstopper. Plus, anyone can get married here.Stanford Memorial Church at Stanford University
All faiths are welcome at the incredible Stanford Memorial Church -- as long as you're affiliated with the university somehow. Built in 1899, it's the stunning mosaics and arched doorways that make this chapel so beautiful.The Immaculata Parish at the University of San Diego
You don't have to be a USD alum to wed at this gorgeous chapel (though you do have to be a baptized Catholic). It's said that the perfect time for a ceremony is 6:30, when the setting sun, plus some candles, will give the room a soft glow.Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame
The Basilica has been a gem on Notre Dame's campus since its construction in the late 1800s. Only students, alumni and faculty can wed here, and naturally, the church doesn't accept wedding dates on any Notre Dame football weekends.Cadet Chapel at the U.S. Air Force Academy
Made of aluminum, steel and glass shaped like a pyramid stretching toward the sky, the Cadet Chapel is unlike any other sanctuary on this list -- or that we've ever seen.University Chapel at Princeton University
Just like you'd have to apply to study at Princeton, you'll have to submit an application to wed at University Chapel, which includes writing about how you're connected to the university (you should be a student, alum or staff member) and why you'd like to marry at the chapel. But the space is so gorgeous -- so let's hope the acceptance rate for the church is a bit higher than it is for the school.Battell Chapel at Yale University
All faiths (but only Yale affiliates) are welcome to wed at this awe-inspiring chapel. Its history at Yale reaches back into the 1700s, and that age shows beautifully in the stunning old-world architecture.Perkins Chapel at Southern Methodist University
We love the quaint Southern charm of Perkins Chapel. The beautiful Georgian architecture makes it hugely attractive for weddings of SMU alumni and community members -- we hear the wait list is years long.Madonna Della Strada Chapel at Loyola University
After the Archdiocese of Chicago approves your bid to get hitched here (you've got to be associated with Loyola), you can start planning your ceremony inside the amazing 70-year-old Art Deco-style chapel.St. Paul's Chapel at Columbia University
Anyone can wed at this enormous chapel (it has room for up to 450 guests). Couples say "I do" beneath the 90-foot dome, surrounded by intricate Roman brick and terra-cotta and exquisite stained glass.The Memorial Church at Harvard University
The aptly named Memorial Church houses tributes to soldiers who fought in World War I and II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The crisp white paint and classic architecture makes it perfect for weddings -- but only for Harvard affiliates.St. Ignatius Church at the University of San Francisco
This gorgeous Catholic church is a San Francisco landmark. We can't get enough of the Baroque-esque design complete with Corinthian columns, arches and coffered half-dome that's as stunning a ceremony backdrop as any.Provincial House Chapel at the University of Missouri at St. Louis
Almost 100 years old, the Provincial House Chapel is not only gorgeous but also incredibly unique -- just look at that vaulted wooden ceiling.Duke Chapel at Duke University
To be eligible to wed here, you have to be a Duke student, alum, a child or grandchild of an alum or a staff member. It's crafted in neo-Gothic style out of North Carolina volcanic stone -- yeah, you read that right!Bowdoin College Chapel at Bowdoin College
Though it's decorated with biblical murals, this chapel welcomes non-denominational ceremonies. And who wouldn't want to wed here? The intimate sanctuary seems spacious and, dare we say it -- heavenly -- thanks to the blue and white paint.St. Francis Xavier College Church at St. Louis University
This circa-1841 Catholic church is beautiful and convenient: there's a ballroom attached for wedding receptions so you won't even have to leave the building.Alice Millar Chapel at Northwestern University
Only Northwestern affiliates have the privilege of marrying at Alice Millar Chapel, where monumental stained glass windows on all four walls of the sanctuary fill the room with dappled, multicolor light.Chapel of the Holy Spirit at Duquesne University
The people who can wed here is a small crowd -- only Catholic students, alumni and staff of the small Pennsylvania university are eligible. The lucky few are treated to an awesome domed ceiling and spectacular natural light.United States Naval Academy Chapel
Only Naval Academy alumni can exchange vows under that domed roof -- and a military sword ceremony often follows.Chapel of the Immaculate Conception at Seton Hall University
This alumni-only chapel, which is considered the heart of Seton Hall's campus, was dedicated in 1870.Thompson Memorial Chapel at Williams College
More than 100 years old, this majestic chapel is only open to Williams College affiliates.Stauffer Chapel at Pepperdine University
Depending on how you look at it, the stunning stained glass wall of Stauffer Chapel looks like Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night" or an imitation of the Malibu sky that lies just outside.Vassar Chapel at Vassar College
Vassar Chapel is home to the college's Catholic, Episcopal, Jewish and other congregations. Meryl Streep (Vassar class of 1971), Jesse Jackson, Tom Hanks and Billy Joel have made appearances beneath that vaulted ceiling.Sage Chapel at Cornell University
Dimly lit and cavernous, century-old Sage Chapel can host your romantic wedding ceremony of any religion -- if you've got a connection to Cornell.Interfaith Chapel at the University of Rochester
We're mesmerized by the rainbow stained glass of this riverside chapel.> Find your own gorgeous venue — search by city

Sleeping Bags & Bedding
Sleeping Bags & Bedding
Product Selection
Trail-Ready Comfort: Sleeping Bags & Bedding Buying Guide
Rest up for the night with ultra-comfortable sleeping bags, crafted for the campground.
Before you venture out into the great outdoors, bring along a few comforts from homelike air mattresses, plush pillows, sleeping pads, cots and much more. Whether youre backpacking or just spending a few days at the cabin, sleeping bags are an essential.
Select from mummy-style sleeping bags, rectangular sleeping bags and sleeping bags for kids, all available in a variety of colors and styles. And dont forget to pick up the extras, like air pumps for your mattress, linen bags and straps for carrying. Turn to top brands for quality sleeping bags and camp bedding, like The North Face®, Marmot® and Field & Stream®.
Buying Tips
Before you head outdoors, think about the temperature, climate and nature of your camping trip. These factors will impact which sleeping bag you should select:
- Mummy Sleeping Bags are cut for a wider space in the shoulders and a narrow fit in the leg and foot areas. This snug design minimizes dead air for efficient warmth in cold temperatures.
- Rectangular Sleeping Bags provide added space in the leg and shoulder areas, making them ideal for wide-frame backpackers, or those who move around frequently during sleep. Semi-rectangular bags provide a blend of both styles.
Consider the inner liner of your sleeping bag, and select a material that will feel comfortable as you rest. Browse everything from brushed flannel to innovative thermal reflective materials. For children, select space-saving youth sleeping gear with a smaller fit to keep little ones warm.
Expert Advice
In what type of environment are you camping? If you're camping in a damp area or for an extended period of time, a cot or air mattress is likely the right choice for you.
Select between sleeping bags built with down or synthetic insulation material. Down provides plush, exceptional warmth at a lighter carry weight, while synthetic materials better handle wet weather and moisture.
You can get extra utility with a bag that features loops and pockets, which help stow away small items during your trip.

Lupe Fiasco and Trey Songz perform "Out of My Head/Show Goes On" Live on the MTV Movie Awards 2011
Lupe's MTV Movie Awards Performance [Video]
Latest News
Filed under:13
Lupe Fiasco and Trey Songz perform "Out of My Head/Show Goes On" Live on the MTV Movie Awards 2011
I always find it so funny when I hear show goes on play on the radio or in some mainstream place and everyone is signing along and looking all happy, cause if you actually listen to the lyrics its, well uplifting in the sense he is saying to keep going but at the same time when you see people like screaming out "have you ever had the feeling you was being had...They treat you like a slave Put chains all on your soul and put whips up on your back They be lying through they teeth, hope you slip up off your path" with big smiles on their faces it just seems a bit off. Anyways much love to lupe, dope performance FnF UP! & LASERS!
OOOHH MY GOODNESS! That performance on the MTV Movie Awards! Brought tears to my eyes! Yes, after listening closely to the lyrics on "Til I get there"....then watching Lupe perform two of his hits on this show..... I felt that LUPE...... YOU MADE IT BABY! Way to go! I feel like your second mom from afar LOL (because I watched you from the very beginning from "Kick Push" and you've worked hard and kept going)! And I have supported you. You are an awesome writer and passionate!!! I can see it and feel it. THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE EVER, EVER, EVER (that I've heard) the sound quality was AWESOME on the MTV Movie Award show! Every instrument was heard clearly and it was good sounding music! I can't stop rewinding the performance on my DVR! Thanks for not having any "half naked women dancing around", (I understand that some things like that are expected), but for this performance (the attention would've been on them and not you) YOU needed this moment to shine, just YOU and that MUSIC. YOU can hold it down by YOURSELF performing!!! The BAND WAS CLEAN, CRISP, AND SHARP! WE HEARD EVERY NOTE! They were THE BOMB! FOR REAL...SWAGGED OUT! LOL. I come from a family of musicians, my 20 year old son is a musician. He couldn't sleep after watching that performance.....I grew up listening to the "MUSIC"...the instruments and how they collaborate with one another takes you another place. Nothing like a LIVE band! NOTHING! YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB! Congratulations honey! I pray for you! Be good! Stay sweet!

foxy friend. Charming creature designed by Sevak Karabachian holds paper clips with magnetic attraction, handcarved of solid mahogany wood with handpainted gold and white painted tail. Karabachian's design recalls childhood memories of growing up in Beirut, Lebanon where his father was a furniture maker. He would make small animal figures, miniature chairs and other toys with scrap wood left over from different projects. The gold tip fox paper clip holder is "inspired by these toys and the same love of building things with our hands."

Its nice to see HadesTeam is making progress as always!
Nice! Does this method now guarantee you a full LV2 dump, or is there still the problem with linux overwriting the bytes?
I'm also glad to see some people still plugging away at this! Hopefully there's a breakthrough soon, but until then, keep up the good work, and thanks for dumping all of this time into opening up this thing!
As far as I can tell, they are still working on sorting that out... this appears to be just a port of his previous method for those with 60GB PS3 consoles.
I asked the same myself. Could they now dump the lv2? But then the Isolated SPU comes back in my brain. Even if dev´s now can dump the whole RAM out of the Game OS there is still the isolated SPU running the lv2.
So i recall that the main problem was/is to kick out the isolated spu and then recall lv2 to do a full dump of it. Or find a way to force the isolated spu to dump the lv2.
But we will see what comes out of this and be hopefull that it will be a lv2 dump
To be honest I think the ps3 will never be hacked.
Those dumps in the future maybe.. will be used for a ps3 emulator on the computer or something similar.
But another Question. We lost the ability on Debug Console to dump a decrypted EBOOT.BIN out of the RAM a few FW updates ago.
With this methode we should be able to dump the decrypted EBOOT.BIN from an retail game or not?
dumping a decrypted copy of EBOOT.BIN would be nice to those who have access to a debug/test ps3 cause not every game has debug patch .pkg.

Customer Reviews for On Sale New Additions Solids Semi-Opaque Panel Track Window Blinds
"Great replacement for my old panels"
By remodeling from NC
When I moved into my home there was an old panel track system in place over the sliding glass doors in my family. I have never liked them, but I like the panel track system. I was so glad to find your site when looking for replacement panels. I am so glad I decided to replace the whole system. The valance and the bottom detail make these very elegant. They look great.
View this product"Simply Stunning"
By Pepper from Wildwood, MO
This is our first purchase with Blindsgalore. I was a little hesitant purchasing a custom product that had no reviews. However, I took the plunge and I'm so glad I did. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! The look is clean, sleek, modern and ultra expensive. This product is definitely worth the price. My husband installed them and it took longer than expected, much longer. However, within 2 1/2 hours, I had a beautiful window covering for my sliding glass door.

07.09.2013 /
The international Motorcycle Federation (FIM) has announced that the OiLibya Rally of Morocco (October 13-19) is to replace the Pharaoh's Rally (Egypt) as the final leg of the 2013 World Championship calendar. KTM's Marc Coma of Spain currently has a narrow 3-point lead in the standings.
Organizers were forced to cancel the rally in Egypt earlier in August due to the unstable situation in the country.
Marc Coma, the 2012 World Cross Countries Rally champion and multiple Dakar Rally winner, will welcome being back in the desert. He won the first three legs – the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge, the Sealine Rally in Qatar and the Sardinia Rally before the tour moved to Argentina and Brazil where he placed second and third.
Coma is being hotly pursued for the season's honors by Portugal's Paolo Goncalves and with only three points separating the two riders, the final leg is now set to become a thriller. In third place is Coma's fellow KTM factory rider, Jakub Przygonski of Poland.


text: NBC News -- A rarity 15 years ago, red light cameras have become ubiquitous in many U.S. cities. Communities in 24 states and Washington, D.C., now use the cameras. Supporters say it's worked. Cameras now monitor speed, bus and HOV lanes and intersections with stop signs.But critics of red light programs worry about the Big Brother aspect. Many also say cameras, which are generally run by private companies, have spread not because they make streets safer, but because they mean profit.Recent news stories have fueled opposition. In Chicago, the mayor banned one company from bidding for future contracts. In Iowa, doubts about the constitutionality led to a bill to ban cameras – a move already taken by at least 9 other states.FHA says that cameras shouldn't be a knee-jerk traffic enforcement Read the Full Article

...Because One Fell Down And Bumped His Head.
Have you heard of Amerisleep? Sexy Nerd and I finally replaced our crummy (and lumpy! and saggy!) old (but not old enough that it should need replacing) Simmons (BLECH!!!) mattress and are loving our new Amerisleep memory foam mattress.
Yeah, we have a little bitterness toward Simmons. Can you tell?
We were hesitant about ordering a mattress online without being able to test it, but were reassured by all the Amerisleep reviews I read that said they are the best mattress and by their top-notch customer service. I spent a lot of time emailing back and forth with Amerisleep representatives and they never seemed to mind my many questions. I loved how enthusiastic they were about their product.
"I look forward to hearing how much you love your new bed!!" is the email I received after placing my order. A great sign.
The following week, our Liberty bed arrived...
FedEx and UPS would not be happy.
We've owned this mattress for nearly a year now and are completely happy with it. Sexy Nerd says it's perfect in every way. It hasn't had any problems with sagging (unlike our piece of garbage Simmons Beautyrest, which this had to replace) and it doesn't get too hot, which I've heard is a common problem with memory foam mattresses. My favorite thing about it is that there is absolutely no transfer of motion, meaning that I can continue sleeping when Sexy Nerd gets up for work at 5am (and he can sleep through the tossing and turning of my idiopathic insomnia!)
*ANOTHER UPDATE* (Yippee!)
There's a new feature on the Amerisleep mattress site that states you can receive an additional $50 off your purchase by saying who referred you. I'm not planning to order another mattress anytime soon, but feel free to mention me (email@example.com) to get your $50 discount. It's a great deal that can be used in conjunction with any other Amerisleep offers!
