Carter Smith brimmed with confidence and shied away from little, his mother said today.
A computer whiz from a young age, he had his own business by high school, helping teachers with their technical problems. And when it came to web design, he was brilliant, Jessica Smith said.
His shining future was cut short, however, by a car crash on Warburton Avenue early today, leaving his family, including twin brothers, to grieve. ...

Reporter finds no pitchforks, but plenty of good arguments at gay marriage debat
Joshua SeboldStaff Writer
As I entered Feather River College's gay marriage debate on the evening of Wednesday, Dec. 9, I began to wonder—not for the first time—if I should have requested a bulletproof vest when I signed up for this job.
I was reminded of a friend's Facebook profile, which has featured the same ever-pressing question for as long as I can remember, "When the ($@&!) is it going to be torches and pitchforks time?"
As I walked into the Town Hall Theatre I wondered if that fateful moment had arrived for my small hometown.
The event's moderator, District Attorney Jeff Cunan, did little to alleviate my fears when he informed the crowd that the last FRC debate, which focused on the most recent presidential race, featured a group of anarchists hanging out in the lobby.
He added that he had held out some hope that this year's topic would be less divisive before quipping, "It's just gay marriage, what could be less controversial than that?"
As you can tell, based upon the fact that you're reading this article and not one about the Town Hall Theatre burning to the ground with one ill-prepared and foolishly unarmed reporter inside, the event was actually quite peaceful and respectful on all sides to the credit of the residents of our county.
There were no townhall disruption crews yelling fear-based chants, no fistfights in the audience and no offensive derogatory remarks shouted.
I think FRC deserves a lot of credit for the civility of the event, because the college took several intelligent measures to keep the event under control.
The audience was made aware of the fact that FRC students were spread out throughout the crowd as security.
FRC ran a tight ship, with a very structured event that included audience questions but kept the debate moving and avoided confrontation between audience members and debaters.
The judges were given strict numerical grading systems that they had to adhere to for each argument.
This system kept them so busy keeping track of a series of benchmarks that they had little time to think about their own emotions or beliefs.
I know this because I spoke to my esteemed colleague, Feather Publishing's Sports Editor Shannon Morrow during the intermission.
Morrow had displayed a high level of moral character and a complete lack of sanity or sense of self-preservation by inexplicably signing up to be a judge at this event.
I shook the poor fool's hand at the halfway point in the event and told him I was impressed to find that his head wasn't yet on a stake outside the theatre, but also noted I would reserve my optimism until after he returned a verdict and attempted to exit the building.
To the untrained eye it might seem the judges were chosen merely for their intelligence and ability to be impartial, but there was obviously a deeper purpose to their selection.
With an eight-person panel featuring an attorney, football coach, human resources director and a teenage girl, there was no level of drama or carnage that could make this group bat an eye.
I was confident that if Plumas County erupted into anarchy that night, they might not be able to rebuild society, but they could have easily placed blame, filled out the paperwork and limited liability.
Now to the debate: I'm not going to lie and say that every word spoken by audience members and debaters was sheer brilliance and that my audio recording of the event can be sent around the globe resulting in all religions merging into one and world peace being achieved.
There were moments when the word freedom was used so loosely by both sides that it lost all meaning, and people seemed incapable of agreeing on the most basic aspects of our country's history at times, but the debate also brought up new views and angles on the issue.
It was obvious the students hadn't merely watched C-SPAN for a week to repeat the views of politicians with significantly less knowledge of history, morality or theories of American governance.
I'll skip the suspense and allow any kill-the-messenger-types more time to plot my demise by telling you right now that the team arguing in favor of gay marriage was declared the winner independently by both the panel of judges and a separate audience vote.
Their arguments, research and quotes were simply more compelling.
The pro-gay-marriage team opened with a quote by United States Senator and Union Army General Carl Schurz, "From the equality of rights springs the identity of our highest interests. You cannot subvert your neighbor's rights without dealing a dangerous blow to your own."
The team followed up with a stirring statement from one of its debaters.
"As a U.S. Marine I took an oath to protect and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. An enemy does not necessarily have to be a person or an organization. It can also be an idea.
"Any idea that directly attacks or degrades the equal rights of any citizen is such an enemy to the Constitution."
He later argued, "We are not attacking the traditional family. We are, in fact, defending it. The traditional family exists only because a family is free to raise children based on personal values.
"We're defending the tradition of a family free of government intervention, free of a government that intrudes and defines what values are."
The anti-gay-marriage team argued civil unions should be allowed but marriage should be separate.
The pro team responded that the Supreme Court decision in the case of Brown v. Board of Education found that separate was inherently not equal.
The anti team also contended children would be exposed to more knowledge of homosexuality in school if gay marriage was approved, and this would make it more difficult for parents to control curriculum or shape a child's beliefs.
The pro team contended tolerance of homosexuality had been taught in school for over half a century. They also pointed out they were arguing for civil marriages, the right to a certificate of marriage given by the state, and that religious institutions had the right to decide what marriages they performed or recognized.
One of the more interesting audience questions came from Quincy-Pioneer Elementary School principal Bruce Williams who addressed the pro gay marriage team.
"Your comparison of civil rights based on race ignores the fact that homosexuality is a chosen situation, please comment."
The pro gay marriage team responded that biological studies had proven factors in the brain affect who someone is attracted to and that the American Psychological Association, American Psychiatric Association, and American Association of Pediatrics all agreed homosexuality wasn't a choice but was linked to genetics and hormonal factors while in the womb.
Another defining moment of the debate occurred when one of the debaters answered a question about how a parent would deal with her child being homosexual.
"My son is 20 years old. He was gay as far back as I could remember.
"You love them, irrevocably, undeniably, no matter what. You love your child, that's the best you can do, and you fight for their rights."
The winning team's closing arguments consisted of that woman speaking more about the hardships her son faced growing up in a small town. Another debater explained his mother and aunt raised him and that claims that being raised by people of only one sex was damaging to a child were offensive to him and to children raised by single parents everywhere.

Awesome map! Someday I wish to visit the Village of Bossy Loiterers... I was able to see what shirt went up today through shirt.woot's facebook page. If anyone else was burning with curiosity like me, they should also check there if there's another long server maintenance in the future.
At last, it's up! This is a funny design, nicely observed, harkening back to the SNES days in a big way. Congrats on the print, larrydavidarmstrong!
If there's a place you got to get I can get you there I bet I'm the Map
Nothing it's the same before the "Woot Blackout"
I considered buying it until I realized I'd have to stand in place for 60 seconds at a time 30 times a day so people could read it
Congrats LDA! This is your first print right? This blackout will hurt your first day sales but the fact that so few people will get to order it the first day will only increase your later sales which is much better.
It actually reminds me of that old arcade game "crossbow" with the map of locations between scenes...
Congrats on your first print! This is a fun design.
This is just in time to wear to the midnight release of Skyrim.

Funny. I didn't buy it for my daughter for the same reason. ;)
This garment will certainly be more steadfast that its vendor of late.
walmazan wrote:Nothing it's the same before the "Woot Blackout"
I must have missed something. What is this Woot Blackout I hear so much about???
I wish it was green so I would match Link when I play Zelda games, but I'm getting it anyway.
I tried the using this map from my house, and ended up here. Strangely ironic.
As a poster I would buy it.
i don't mean to be a troll, but really? this got voted up in a derby?
I voted for it and will buy it for my husband. While he plays mainly FPS's these days...at least until Skyrim comes out, he grew up with the classic SNES games. He'd gladly stand in place for 60 seconds for people to read it! Good job, larrydavidarmstrong.

I think this shirt is better than 90% of the ones that usually make it.
Congrats on your print! ...I feel the need to add a comment since there are so few after the "blackout"
And we're back! There's so much truth in this design. It's obvious for RPGs, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that you see almost the same tropes in many action games and platformers as well. Even Super Mario Bros. 3 has levels that follow this guide.
This shirt is basically the exact game layout of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
This shirt has "gaming night only" written all over it, especially if you likes the ladies. I must have one.
This reminds me of every mmorpg. But other than that please imagine Borat saying, very nice!

Skyrim!! *squee* I love this shirt, especially the village of bossy loiterers.
My bank account currently holds $8. Dear shirt, I get paid on Tuesday, and I will be buying you. This also seems like a perfect time to use the buy three random coupon. Someone mentioned wearing this while playing Skyrum, and now I can't imagine doing anything else!!
surfdad wrote:This shirt has "gaming night only" written all over it, especially if you likes the ladies. I must have one.
Not at all- as a lady I would absolutely be drawn to a guy wearing this shirt!
Currently stuck in the Ice Cavern of Unreasonable Slippitude in 6 of my DS games. How can you slide on ice so cleanly without any skates?
Wait - does larrydavidarmstrong really live in teh internet?
Best color (So Very Bo-Red With Questing) EVER.
Would make a fantastic poster or wall scroll!
I'm probably not the intended buyer for this shirt (although I buy lots of things from shirt.woot.com), but I have a real problem with this: I can't read it. From the comments of others, I think that I can guess just about what it says, but the fact remains that I can't actually read the words on the screen. And my eyes aren't too bad, thank you. If I can't read the words on the screen, I can't imagine the challenge posed in trying to decipher the wording on the actual, you know, shirt. For this shirt, the standard shirt.woot.com image on the screen simply doesn't work.
Where's the maze of twisty little passages, all alike?
should be the shop of crappy over priced junk
It's yet another example of a shirt perhaps better suited as wall-art. Is not poster.woot! long overdue? *edit* I see now this is already being said. I'm reminded particularly of a design by jewelwing: http://s3.amazonaws.com/wootsaleimages/Blocks_Build_YouvxhDetail.png.
Hey, anyone who wants to see a larger version of this than they are showing on Woot! can go here: http://www.larryarmstrong.com/bigMap . Hope that helps.
I really don't think the text will be too tiny when the shirt is printed. Screen resolution on monitors is pretty low, which is making the text seem much less readable and sharp than it would be when printed. But then this is my first printed shirt, so what do I know?
53 min to first woot. Is that a record? (I know, the site was down and all, but..)
Medicfrost wrote:I tried the using this map from my house, and ended up here. Strangely ironic.
I don't think you tried hard enough. The shop right outside that castle seems to have many customers.
Egh... The gamer in me wants this shirt because it is too true, but I wish the design/map were somehow better integrated onto the shirt instead of just map + red shirt. Doesn't flow with me too well. That said, I second poster.woot because this would be an insanely awesome map to have.

There were no serious injuries. The fire broke out when a lamp fell on a bed and ignited the bedding. Students were evacuated across the street to the East College Cafeteria. Although the fire was small and extinguished quickly, there is water damage to the first and second floors. Cleanup is un-derway. Students on the undam-aged floors have been allowed to move back to their rooms. Students who reside on the damaged floors were relocated to other rooms. THOMAS MOTYKA/THE PINE LOG Apollo 12 astronaut Alan Bean, the fourth man to walk on the moon and an award-winning artist, will be the featured guest at the 2011 installment of the Archie McDonald Speaker Series at Stephen F. Austin State University. The event is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 14, in the Grand Ballroom of the Baker Pattillo Student Center on the SFA campus. Reserve tickets will go on sale soon. "Alan Bean is a member of a most exclusive group - one of 12 people who have walked on the moon and captured the focus and imagi-nation of the nation and the world during the apex of manned space exploration," Dr. Archie McDonald said. "Our speaker series is delighted to feature a fellow Texan who has viewed our world from a perspective few others have experienced." Bean graduated from Paschal High School in Fort Worth in 1950 and received a Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps scholarship to attend the University of Texas at Austin, where he earned a bachelor's degree and was commissioned as an ensign in the U.S. Navy. He was trained as a test pilot and, in 1963, was selected as a NASA astronaut. He was the lunar module pilot on Apollo 12, man's second lunar landing. In 1973, Bean again flew in space as commander of Skylab Mission II, a 59-day mission in which he traveled more than 24 million miles. He later served as backup spacecraft command-er for the joint American-Russian Apollo- Soyuz Test Project and as chief of operations and training and acting chief astronaut until the first flight of the space shuttle. Bean began pursuing his interest in painting while still a test pilot in the Navy. Throughout his NASA career, he took art classes and honed his artistic skills at night and on weekends when he wasn't training for a mission. For the past 29 years, the former astronaut has worked full time as a profes-sional artist. His work has evolved into a mix-ture of painting and sculpture, textured with lunar tools, sprinkled with bits of his Apollo 12 spacecraft and the emblems and flag from the spacesuit he wore on the moon. When he retired from NASA, Bean vowed, "I will not be an astronaut that paints, but will become an artist that used to be an as-tronaut." He explains, "I want to record, in fine art, paintings that will tell future generations of humankind's first exploration of another world." SFA's speaker series, which debuted last spring, was created to honor and preserve McDonald's legacy as a distinguished schol-ar, educator and community commentator. A prominent national figure will be hosted annually at SFA to discuss contemporary cultural issues - from politics to art - in the tradition of McDonald's writings and oral presentations. McDonald has taught history at SFA for 46 years and served as director of the East Texas Historical Association and editor of the association's journal for 37 years. He is a past president of the Texas State Historical Association, past vice chair of the Texas Historical Commission and author/editor of more than 20 books on historical topics. Along with teaching, McDonald currently serves as the SFA university/community li-aison and is a weekly commentator on Red River Radio in Shreveport. email@example.com Former NASA astronaut Alan Bean to speak at SFA Small fire in Steen leads to evacuation, water damage Snow Day in Nacogdoches THOMAS MOTYKA/THE PINE LOG THOMAS MOTYKA/THE PINE LOG CODY DEROUEN/THE PINE LOG THOMAS MOTYKA/THE PINE LOG SFA students enjoyed a Friday off from classes as snow fell for the first time this year (Above) Snowball fights were the order of the day for students like John Jackson (left) and Tim Calderon (right).

J.R.R. Tolkien about Disney
Throughout his life, J.R.R. Tolkien had a deep concern and strong opinions about adaptations of his legendarium. For Tolkien, the products of the Disney company were an especially prominent example of bad style.
In 1946, he rejected suggestions for illustrations by Horus Engels for the German edition of the Hobbit as "too Disnified",
- "Bilbo with a dribbling nose, and Gandalf as a figure of vulgar fun rather than the Odinic wanderer that I think of."
- ― The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, #107
Moreover, when certain producers became interested in movie adaptations of Tolkien's works, (he had sold the film, stage and merchandise rights of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings to United Artists in 1968), he forbade Disney should ever be involved:
- "It might be advisable [...] to let the Americans do what seems good to them — as long as it was possible [...] to veto anything from or influenced by the Disney studios (for all whose works I have a heartfelt loathing)."
- ― The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, #13
A remarkable critique of Walt Disney was given by Tolkien in a 1964 letter to a fan:
- "I recognize [Walt Disney's] talent, but it has always seemed to me hopelessly corrupted. Though in most of the 'pictures' proceeding from his studios there are admirable or charming passages, the effect of all of them to me is disgusting. Some have given me nausea"
- ― Letter to Miss J.L. Curry, of 15 July 1964
Nevertheless, Disney's Disneyland and Buena Vista record labels were to release six audio products based on the Rankin/Bass The Hobbit and two based on Rankin/Bass The Return of the King in the 1970's and 1980's.
- 1977: The Hobbit: The Complete Original Soundtrack
- 1977: The Hobbit (Disneyland Read-Along)
- 1977: The Hobbit (Disneyland Storyteller)
- 1980: The Return of the King: A Story of the Hobbits

For my part, I would like to keep my question as brief as possible, yet detailed where necessary and I would value the opinions of others greatly. I am not a newcomer - more of an old timer in fact, however, one thing niggles me and its practices in London UK, where I live,continue to this day.
If I pick up a resentment, then I was taught in Step 5 how to deal with that resentment immediately - I am an alocoholic and I could not afford such infestation for any length of time. In the beginning, when I first went thru the steps, I voiced my resentment(s) to my sponsor. I gave him MY (distorted) perception. He listened and in turn, began to tell me what HE saw....from another persons point of view etc. Thru him questioning me on these resentments I became aware of how I had exaggerated times/events etc...how I had lost sight of the truth, of what really happened. I had invented stories, deluded myself and had cleverly managed to always clear my side of the street and blame others. Together we went in search of the truth.....we tried as best we could, to get things back to their normal size (mountains out of molehills etc) whilst also looking at a given situation from another persons point of view (from many different points of view infact). Somewhere, in all this was the truth. From there, for the first time I was helped in seeing my part in these events. Thru the Step 4 columns, I was now looking for where I had been selfish, dishonest, self-seeking, frightened or inconsiderate. Only one of these things had come up, in order for me to pick up the resentment in the first place. That was my introduction to handling resentments and over the years, very seldom am I disturbed by a resentment in the first place, if I am, an immediate programme begins in me, to see my part and quite miraculously peace of mind is returned forthwith.
However, there is a growing group(s) among us that have quite differing views in handling resentments, or as they say, if one is upset or annoyed with anyone. Upon their own leaflets, alomg with a list of things they must do daily, is set the following: Pray for him/her. EG: 'Pls God, b;es XXX and let him/her have health, prosperity and happiness', or. 'Pls God, give me the tolerance, pity and patience I would cheerfully grant a sick friend', or 'Pls God, give XXX everything I would wish for myself.'
These words are not knew, I learnt some of this BEFORE I had the tools (given in Step 5) to deal with such problems.
My own view on this practice is that in recovery, one continues the 'Old Behaviour'. One continues to look outside of oneself and blame others, for their received upset. One misses an ideal opportunity, if one looks within oneself, to find our more about oneself and to correct ones own shortcomings etc. One is far less inclined to be judgemental and one certainly has no right to look down upon another human being, especially with pity or anything else.
Other daily activities that are set in stone by these groups are: making gratitude lists daily, phoning newcomers daily, readings daily, service daily, etc.
I would value your opinions as one then questions whether I have misunderstood what these groups are about, as they are so hell bent on reciting the BB and informing others that this is what the BB teaches us. Have I missed something?[/b]

Comments about Teak Windowboxes, 6":
I purchased both the 8" and the 6" boxes. The larger ones are lovely and have a good capacity for many plants. The smaller ones were not six inches as described, but only five by five, way too small for even the most petite of plants. Liners which would help retain water further lessen the available space for plants. A plant purchased in a 4" pot would have virtually no space for roots to spread out. Disappointing given the strong reputation of this company.

Comments about Teak Windowboxes, 6":
These are attractive, especially once they start to weather a bit. However, they are a very basic design, and they are poor at retaining moisture. Mine had to be watered at least once/day, sometimes twice, during the hottest part of the summer. I like the way they look, but if I had it to do over again, I would buy something else.

Comments about Teak Windowboxes, 6":
These could be deeper so that you could add larger or more plants to it. Also, if they're windowboxes, why do we have to buy the brackets separately? The brackets should come with it (and, when you buy the brackets, you don't get any screws or fasteners or instructions -- [...]). Not worth the money IMHO.

Teak is the wood of choice for boat builders and craftsmen the world over. But not all teak furniture is the same.
Teak furniture poses a dilemma for the environmentally conscious consumer. Reforest Teak is the answer.
Gardener's Supply founder Will Raap describes his latest sustainable forestry projects.
Beautiful, bountiful planters depend on good soil, fertilizer and careful watering. But to take your planters from standard to sensational, you need the right plants. Start with this simple rule: Combine plants with three different habits. In other words, thrillers, fillers and spillers.

New, experienced anglers can fish without license Sept. 7
"If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles."
—Doug Larson
Twice a year the California Department of Fish and Wildlife offers the opportunity to try your hand at fishing without having to invest in a fishing license. The second and final Free Fishing Day for 2013 is Sept. 7.
If you are not an angler, this is your chance to give it a try. If you are an angler, this is your chance to introduce a nonfishing friend to an activity that can become a lifelong pursuit that offers satisfaction on many different levels.
The one thing better than hooking a fish may just be hooking a new angler, especially if that new angler is a child.
Lake Almanor
Pond smelt are the featured menu item for Almanor trout and salmon right now — and even bass and catfish for that matter.
According to local guide (and for the second year in a row winner of the annual Fish for a Wish Tournament sponsored by Big Cove Resort) Doug Neal, the trolling bite holds steady through the morning. It is not hot, but it is steady.
Doug and his clients have been seeing a mix of fish from 1.5 pounds to 4.8 pounds: salmon, rainbows and browns.
They are chasing smelt all over the lake. Smallmouth bass are feeding on pond smelt along the shoreline structure.
Doug says that "when the fish are whacking smelt show them what they want." Fast-action lures like Speedy Shiners and Needlefish have been very effective this past week.
The best bite has been early and deep. Most of the action has come off No. 2 Needlefish trolled 30 feet deep. When fishing deeper Doug moves up to one-sixth-ounce Speedy Shiners in Fire Tiger patterns for higher visibility. Doug also trolls fairly fast (2 to 2.8 mph) with these lures.
Other anglers are trolling slowly with smelt patterns close to the bottom and hooking fish that are picking up any leftover collateral damage from feeding attacks below.
Dodger crawler rigs are still catching a few fish, but switch out that crawler with a small Needlefish or smelt-looking lure or bait and your success will improve.
Most fish are being caught in the usual trolling lanes: Big Springs, Lake Haven Resort, The A Frame, Rec 2, Hamilton Branch and Rocky Point. What do these spots have in common? They have colder water, mostly from springs.
In case you haven't heard, there is a new dock in place (finally) at the Forest Service boat ramp at Canyon Dam.
Butt Lake
The main lake has warmed into the low 70-degree range by the afternoons. But the inflow from Almanor at the powerhouse and the water entering the lake from Butt Creek have the water near the inlet a good 8 degrees cooler than the rest of the lake. That has lots of fish congregating near the powerhouse and Butt Creek inlets.
But even though the fish may be congregating, images of a trout farm with eager 5-pounders would be sorely misplaced here.
There certainly are some 5-pounders, but there is nothing eager about them. These fish are spooky and they have adapted to lots of fishing pressure.
If you want to get schooled in fishing for smart and spooky trout, Butt Lake is the place to go.
Be prepared to put in some time and bring your A game. This is a game for experienced anglers.
Try pond smelt imitations on the powerhouse side. There are some very small mayflies (size 18 and smaller) on the creek side. Wiggle nymphs will also work.
Some very patient bait anglers were taking fish on worms or salmon eggs, but be prepared to put in many hours per fish.
Lake Davis
The water is getting warm, but the fishing overall has been fair to good at Davis.
Catch-and-release anglers are avoiding Davis right now. When the water is this warm, fish will get very stressed when caught and the mortality of released fish is going to be very high.
Bank fishing has been good at Mallard using nightcrawlers or PowerBait; early morning has been most productive.
Trollers are finding fish scattered throughout the lake, but mostly in the deeper, cooler water. Dick Nites in Copper Red Head, Red Dot Frog and Fire Tiger have all been producing good results.
There are no reports from fly anglers.
Call J&J Grizzly Store and Camping Resort for the latest fishing information: 832-0270.
Frenchman Lake
Fishing from shore seems to have slowed down at Frenchman Lake this past week according to the folks at Wiggin's Trading Post.
Boaters, whether trolling or drifting bait, continue to catch limits of nice-sized rainbows. Getting to the deeper and colder water seems to be the key.
Nightcrawlers and PowerBait are still the most popular baits to use at Frenchman. Some anglers are having good results using Kastmaster lures.
Fly anglers have been doing well using Royal Wulff flies.
Call Wiggins's Trading Post, 993-4683, for the most current fishing information.

Gallery: San Francisco's SmartSpace SoMa is the First Prefab Micro Hous...
The units were prefabricated by ZETA and trucked to the site.
Located in the heart of SoMa on Harriet Street is the SmartSpace micro housing project. Inside are 23 units each at 295 sq ft that include a full kitchen, a queen bed, dining room table, full bathroom and lots of storage. Most micro apartments just have a little kitchenette, but this one has a full-sized dishwasher, sink, 2-burner stove and a Euro-sized refrigerator. The bathroom is also amply-sized. To pack everything in, the apartment has a SmartBench 6-person dining table that folds down to make way for the bed.
Besides packing in a lot of housing on a small lot, the project was prefabricated off-site by ZETA then trucked in and assembled, minimizing waste, construction time and neighborhood impact. There is no on-site parking, but space is provided for secure bike parking and a City CareShare is nearby as well as public transportation. Inside, the apartments feature Plyboo flooring, Energy Star Appliances, a washer and dryer, low-flow fixtures, LED lighting, daylighting, natural ventilation, and extra sound-proofing. The building features a rain screen exterior, solar hot water heating, a cool roof, and a shared outdoor patio.
This next year, the 23 units will be leased to the California College of the Arts for student housing. Panoramic Interests is looking to sell the project so it can be used for rentals or privately owned units.

Latest Review
The staff was great, we were only slightly disappointed that there was no breakfast. Otherwise, the place was clean, comfortable and totally worth it. Better that a cheap motel. If the weather was warmer, we could have definitely walked to some great nightlife. We drove due to cold weather.

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection caused by bacteria (germs) getting into the urinary tract. The urinary tract is a term for those parts of the body involved in making and passing urine, which include the kidneys, bladder, ureters (tubes which connect the kidneys and bladder) and the urethra (tube through which the urine exits the body).
Urinary tract infections in children are fairly common and can affect the lower tract (bladder) or the upper tract (kidney). By 5 years old, about 8% of girls and 1-2% of boys have had at least one UTI.

Just for nostalgia...
What a difference 6 1/2 years makes!
I remember when I started that thread I felt like the only person outside of Japan that had heard of Kubricks. And what's really strange, I still have yet to obtain an "official" Kubrick Stormtrooper.

I remember the bootlegs but never really looked for any. But when the first real SW Kubricks were announced it took forever for me to find a place to buy them. Most people hadn't heard of them and nobody was really selling them in the US.
I missed out on the early bird set and I think I bought my bounty hunters box from an eBay seller. By the time the second wave came out stores like BBTS were selling them.

I came in with series 2 and had to back track for the early bird kit and series 1. I remember when i first saw the early bird kit and thought they were cool but promised myself i wouldn't get into them.

Are more people trimming down the SW Kubricks in their collection or just throwing in the towel?
Over the past few months, I have seen on the bay what looks like collectors selling off their collection of Kubys & on other Kubrick forums. Is this because the price of Kubys has gone up in price?
Are these pieces of plastic getting hard to get a hold of for a good price? Is it not worth bothering as the chase figures are high in cost & a bugger to get at times as with the online exclusives? Are they just saying Im done & want to move on & focus on other collectibles?

Availability has definitely driven me to cut back, and I'm not as hard core on these as most people I know. Probably a combination of frustration in trying to get new figures along with the economy pushing people to sell.

I was such a buying spree when I first got started, now I've simply run out of "disposable" money or spent it on other things. So much of what I have left to get are chases or boxed sets and I'm just not ready to shell out the dough for the pieces I'm missing.

I'm really only willing to spend a certain amount on the figures I have left. If I can't get them for the price I want, I'm just going to have to do without them I guess. I'd really like to get the new Series 10 and Boba Fett collection figures, but I just see being able to get them without breaking the bank in the process.

In my case i have been thinning the herd. Some of the stuff I have sold off either I have in another form or are just sitting in a box collecting dust. At the same time I have started to have more interest in a couple other collectible areas. Don't think i will sell my collection, just selling items that don't have a place in my display case. At this point I am quite happy with the Kubrick collection I have put together and look forward to future releases.

I'm in a wait and see mode-
The price of the single boxes and mastercases increasing by 50% or more is a big concern- I don't see the secondary market responding well to the idea of a set of 6 basics selling for $100 plus, when they have just been released.
I am thinking about that Boba set, and how a box of 12 is probably almost certain to only have 1 basic set, plus some extras. Immediately the extras are virtually worthless, because anyone buying them would still be stuck looking for the expensive 1 per box ones later to have a set.
So hypothetically I buy a box at $150 or more, get a basic set of 6, 2 extra of 2 of them, and 1 each of 2 others. That would make 2 1 per box figures, not far off from the ratios of some of the recent series. Those that came with 2 extra in each box (packed 3 per box) immediately become $5 to $10 figures, and maybe the other two extras (packed 2 per box) are worth $10 to $15. If my estimates are right and on the high side, that works out to selling your extras and ending up with a basic set of 6 at at $100, plus the hassle of listing and shipping the others, and the shipping you paid for the box to begin with.
Meanwhile, the prices of all the previous released sets has dropped steadily over the last year. Right now a basic set of series 1, 2, or 3 might set you back $60 with out much effort, when they were over a $100 a year or so ago. Part of that is 1 and 2 being released on cards, decreasing demand for the loose ones. But it doesn't explain why 3 is so far down, and 4 going that way as well. Series 5 and higher never became that desirable (and can all be had for $40 or so per basic set of 6). So to see the basic sets become $100 plus out of the chute is frightening. If they hold their value fairly well, them I am ok with that. I don't expect to make money buying star wars toys, but I would rather not lose my shirt either.
But that doesn't even touch on chases. If a 1 per 2 mastercases figure (1:96) has typically been in the $100-$125 range, what do they become when the mastercases has increased in cost by 50-75%? Will the next Aurra Sing type chase sell for $175-$200?
I guess I just don't see the market supporting the cost of these mastercases, basic sets, and chases. And the box sets had already become ridiculous.
So, I may opt for a box of Fetts and see what shakes. I've ditched every other line except a few OT figures and GH sets, so this is where my collecting money will go. But I may jump the fence and become a basic set collector off of other peoples mastercases if everything stays so upside-down on the pricing.

I really am not feeling a huge hit for the most part on this. Yeah, prices are indeed up substantially, but since the prequel stuff started, I backed right off the master case notion anyway. I just didn't want that much stuff hanging around I didn't really care for. Hell, I still have a pile of Royal Guards, Biker Scouts and Tie Pilots kicking around anyway, so having some Fetts sitting isn't a huge deal.
These announcements haven't changed my habits on these for the most part. Even when I was buying master cases I was looking at the full sets on Ebay at $300 and thinking that might have been the smarter approach anyway. I'm not convinced these are going to rise dramatically on ebay. From North American sellers eating the huge cost, shift in exchange rate and additional shipping, yeah. From guys that normally corner all the chase, not so much. I never jumped on stuff that early anyway for chasand the prices have always dropped to the much more reasonable $100 range anyway. I think they'll still do that. I do think early sets might be astronomical, in the $400 + range but they'll settle.
The economy is killing the secondary market too, just ask anyone selling on ebay these days. Good, high end stuff can still command a premium, along with short run stuff. But stuff like Kubs, which aren't really all that limited in production, and anything moderately common is taking a huge hit for now.
I've got my box of Fetts ordered. I'll wait for a good price on the basic set of six for series 10. After that it is wait and see. Don't forget how spoiled we were by Robby.jp either, we all had access, ourselves or through Jeff, to pretty close to wholesale pricing. Not everyone did.

^^^^ newer 1000s get better gas mileage than 35mpg or at least they should. A guy at my work has a hayabusa and he gets 47mpg beating on it.
I might end up getting a 600rr again but I'm still trying to find a good deal on the s1000rr, I found a good deal on the Aprilia RSV4 Factory but I'm not sure if the bike is for me since I can't have a passenger on it.
But on topic with the whole bike size, you should get what you're comfortable with. If you have a friend with a 600 and they'll let you ride it, try it out and if its too much go down to a 250

Case | HBS Case Collection | May 2013 (Revised October 2014) Novartis: Leading a Global Enterprise William W. George, Krishna G. Palepu and Carin-Isabel Knoop Novartis, the world's leading healthcare company, was formed in 1996 out of a merger of two very different, mid-tier Switzerland-based pharma companies. The case traces the company's evolution over the past 17 years, as it transformed into a truly global enterprise with 127,000 employees of 153 nationalities in 140 countries generating $56.7 billion in 2012 revenues and $9.6 billion in net income, making the firm one of the world's largest and most profitable companies. CEO since 2010, Joe Jimenez had taken over from one of the merger's architects and visionary legacy CEO Daniel Vasella. He recognized that the global health care environment would create severe challenges for Novartis in the years ahead and that Novartis needed to make sure it had the right strategy, structure, talent and spirit to live up to its ambitions.

Article | Harvard Business Review | May 2014 How to Outsmart Activist Investors Bill George and Jay W. Lorsch We offer opinions on how management and corporate boards of directors can best manage investor relations with activist stockholders such as hedge funds who are demanding major changes within a corporation to improve stockholder return. Beverage industry firm PepsiCo is cited in support of the contention that creating and maintaining a long-term strategic plan is of value in thwarting such investors. Executives and directors are advised to analyze their corporations from the point of view of an activist investor, to create harmony within the board of directors, and to measure performance against specific and publicly stated goals.

This study is provided by ICPSR. ICPSR provides leadership and training in data access, curation, and methods of analysis for a diverse and expanding social science research community.
National Congregations Study, 1998 and 2006 [Cumulative File] (ICPSR 3471)
Principal Investigator(s): Chaves, Mark A., Duke University
The current cumulative National Congregations Survey (NCS) includes Wave I and Wave II data. Wave I consists of interviews conducted in 1998, and Wave II consists of interviews conducted in 2006-07, including a panel component comprising re-interviews of a sample of congregations who participated in Wave I. The NCS elicited from respondents a description of their religious congregation, including its membership, the content of its worship service, and its other activities. NCS sample congregations were selected using hypernetwork sampling: respondents of the 1998 and 2006 General Social Survey (GSS) who said that they attended religious services at least once a year were asked to report the name and location of their congregation, as well as an informed contact person. These congregations comprised the sample for the current study. Interviews with congregational informants took place via telephone or in person if necessary, and most of the informants were clergy. Respondents were asked to describe their position, the year the congregation had been founded, when it began worshipping in its current location, and whether it was formally affiliated with a denomination or a local association of congregations. Informants also described the type of building in which the congregation met, whether it belonged to the congregation, and whether visitors came just to view the building's architecture or artwork. Respondents were asked for the number of members, participating nonmembers and full- and part-time staff, how many participated regularly, the number of worship services, and the demographic characteristics of members and the congregation's head or senior leader. They also described the worship service, including it's length, languages used, attendance, whether the congregation sang, engaged in silent prayer or meditation, applauded, used incense in the services, or worshipped jointly with another congregation, among other activities. Informants listed and described programs sponsored by the congregation other than the main worship services, including religious education classes, musical groups, groups meeting around social justice, neighborhood, or community issues, vacation or summer religious schools, and groups to help people with substance abuse problems. Informants indicated whether meetings for purposes such as discussing people's problems or concerns at work, praying or meditating, discussing race relations, or taking an overnight trip had occurred in the past 12 months. Respondents also described the congregation's participation in social service, community development, or neighborhood organizing projects such as disaster relief programs, programs for victims of rape or domestic violence, cleaning highways or parks, programs focused on physical health needs, and recreational programs. Information was given in regards to the congregation's budget, the source of its funding, and recipients of the congregation's funds. In addition, informants were asked to describe the congregation's political and theological leanings from "more on the conservative side" to "more on the liberal side," and whether the congregation had rules or norms governing certain behaviors. Finally, nearly all congregations were placed within a census tract, enabling the inclusion of selected census variables in the data file.

Geographic Coverage: United States
Time Period:
- 1998
- 2006
Universe: United States religious congregations.
Data Types: survey data
Data Collection Notes:
In Wave II a panel component was added to the NCS. In addition to the new cross-section of congregations generated in conjunction with the 2006 GSS, a stratified random sample of congregations who participated in NCS Wave I was drawn.
Several sets of Wave I open-ended responses for social service programs, congregational groups, and other items were recoded by the data producer to ensure comparability between Wave I and Wave II.
NCS Wave II data collection differed from NCS Wave I data collection in that the NCS Wave II questionnaire was translated into Spanish and eleven interviews were conducted in Spanish.
More summertime interviews were conducted in Wave II: 34 percent compared with 20 percent in Wave I. Analysts should ensure that differences between the two waves do not reflect a higher percentage of summer interviews in Wave II.
A different data collection strategy produced more in-person interviews in Wave II: 22.5 percent versus 7.5 percent in Wave I. In Wave I, all NCS cases were allocated immediately to field staff around the country who were relatively close to their assigned congregations. In Wave II, data collection began from phone banks in Chicago and Arizona.
There are two variables in the panel dataset that are not included in the cumulative cross-sectional dataset: PANEL_ID and PANEL_98.
Study Purpose: The purpose of this study was to create a representative sample of religious congregations in the United States.
Sample: A representative sample of United States congregations was collected using a hypernetwork sampling technique. Respondents to the 1998 and the 2006 General Social Survey (GSS) who said they attend religious services at least once a year were asked to name the congregation at which they attended religious services. The congregations nominated by these respondents comprise the NCS sample.
Weight: Eight weights are included in the cumulative NCS data set and two weighting variables are contained in the panel data set. Please see Appendix A of the codebook for a description of weights.
Mode of Data Collection: face-to-face interview, telephone interview
Response Rates: Wave I (80 percent) Wave II (78 percent)
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
Original ICPSR Release: 2002-10-02
Version History:
- 2009-11-17 NCS Wave I data (1998) and Wave II data (2006-07) have been combined into the current version of the cumulative file. Also, a panel dataset was added, and several sets of Wave I open-ended responses for social service programs, congregational groups, and other items were recoded by the data producer to ensure comparability between Wave I and Wave II.

A new position adopted by the House of Delegates calls for physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs) to be involved with and leaders of safe patient handling programs at the local, state, and federal levels, and to lead by example—appropriately supporting and employing the concepts of safe patient handling during patient care.
The Role of Physical Therapy in Safe Patient Handling also endorses several concepts related to access to safe patient handling equipment and departmental policies and training in safe patient handling procedures. [RC-29]

Decapitating zombies - Resident Evil 2
Decapitating zombies
You can decapitate zombies for a quicker kill. This works best with the Shotgun (the Magnum does it too, but you'll want to save your Magnum for boss battles). When a zombie comes after you, let them get close, and then point your Shotgun up and fire. This should decapitate them. However, the Shotgun does a good job at decapitating from a distance, too, which is what you should try to do if you are facing groups of zombies. Only use the pointing up method for lone zombies that you need to kill.
Note - Claire does not have any weapons that decapitate zombies.

CS: GO, DOTA 2 and TF2 are the most important titles on Steam and should be ported next.
CS: GO, DOTA 2 and TF2 are the most important titles on Steam and should be ported next.
At what time (in the 21-minute video) does he say that Steam Linux Beta is coming "Fairly soon"? I think I must have somehow missed that part
"Steam Big Play" ? As in formerly known as Big Picture?
He actually said "fairly quickly", not soon.
In regards to Dota 2 port, that will only happend closer to its release date.
Valve putiting out betas is a great idea because big parts of the Linux community is very experienced in using alpha, beta, release candidates and bleeding edge software such as nightly builds.
Big parts of our Linux community is also used to report bugs, file good reports with relevant information included, and even use debuggers.
I googled steam linux beta and one of the results was from fileplanet ( http://www.fileplanet.com/126568/dow...nt-[Linux] ). When you go there it immediately gives you a gz archive with an executable in it called 'steam'. I ran it on ubuntu 11.10 via virtualbox. After running the executable I realised and then stopped the virtual machine from having access to the Internet. It didn't seem to do anything. Running it again so this time from start it didn't have any connection to the Internet it immediately told me
wtf is that?Code:ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ ./steam Failed to connect to any GeneralDirectoryServer

Gallery: Historic Budapest Warehouses Renovated with a Whale-Shaped Gla...
ONL made use of BIM to design the glass atrium to connect the two historic spaces.
This month ONL [Oosterhuis_Lénárd] handed the CET Building over to the City of Budapest, who will use the mixed-use space for restaurants, bars, design-oriented shops, events, conferences, concerts and much more. The building was named through a city-wide contest, where the public thought the building's shape reminded them of a whale. Located at the Közraktárak between the Petofi and the Szabadság Bridge, the CET Building is the only one built directly at the embankments of the Danube river with only bike paths and terraces. Busy roads separate the rest of the city from the river, so the CET building has a unique connection with the river as well as the adjacent Nehru Park.
Two historic warehouses were carefully renovated to form the foundation of the new mixed-use building. ONL made use of BIM to design the glass atrium to connect the two historic spaces. Glass and aluminum panels were carefully placed to maximize daylight and minimize overheating inside the atrium space. The project was awarded the Autodesk BIM Experience Award for its use of Building Information Modeling Process for innovative Mass-Customization and File-2-Factory production process and was also featured as a hero project on the 2010 edition of Revit Architecture. The CET Building is an impressive project that not only renovates historic buildings, but uses innovative architecture and technology to create a useful mixed-use space and improve urban spaces for the public.

It's funny why I know this building. A design graphic of it was used as the cover art for Autodesk Revit 2010. Ha. At least it's good to know that Autodesk is using real building projects for it's cover art. Turned out pretty great in real life too! Here's a link to see the graphic… http://www.tower.com/learning-revit-architecture-2010-autodesk-official-training-guide-paperback/wapi/114139094

Buy 3, Get 1 FREE: SAVE on All Feetures & Thorlo Socks! — Shop Now —
Select your desired product options and we will notify you when it is back in stock.
Olukai shoes are specially designed to be a better class of products for the relaxed lifestyle. Every product offers style, durability, and comfort from heel to toe. Olukai uses the highest quality materials, true fitting lasts, and anatomical footbeds to give you the perfect fit and all day comfort.
Olukai Moloa Dark Wood/Dark Java Men's Shoe
Features include:
This is my first experience with Olukai and I am a quite satisfied with my purchase. The Moloa fits great for a slip on; not too tight, not too loose. There is some elastic goring on the instep that keeps your ankle stable and snug. The inside is lined with soft material and the removable insole is extremely padded. More than any standard foot bed to which you have grown accustomed. There is also a neat little feature that allows the heel to bend forward and then this slip on becomes the ultimate slip on...no back heel needed. The shoe upper is constructed with a soft, weather resistant leather. I purchased the Black Olive/Seal Brown and the sole is two toned. Really makes it look nice once worn. The bottom of the sole also has raised rubber pads which alleviate pain from hard walking surfaces. I am in love with this Hawaiian brand and will be back for more. Aloha for now.
