Visit our web site for more info on vintage and current
baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting. |
(part 4) Test Issue - a preliminary offering issued as a test to see if a product would be accepted by collectors. Tobacco Card - typically from the early 1900s, these were cards issued with tobacco products. The most famous of which is the "T-206" Honus Wagner card. Traded/Update Set - a set issued after the original issue primarily featuring rookies or players who were traded since the original issue came out. Trimmed Card - a card reduced in size from when it was issued, usually to hide an imperfection such as damaged edges or corners. Trimmed cards usually have very little value but in some cases such as the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, even trimmed cards can go for thousands of dollars. The most famous 'trimmed' card to date is the T206 Honus Wagner purchased by Wayne Gretzky. The card was actually too large and was trimmed down to it's proper size. Unauthorized Issue - a card release which is not licensed by a league, a player's association, or by a player. Variation - a card that was printed by the manufacturer in two or more different ways. Wax - a universal collecting term for factory-sealed packs or boxes. The term "wax" most often refers to sealed material that was originally released in the early 1990's or back -- a time when packs were wrapped and sealed in wax paper wrappers. It can casually reference modern era packs or boxes that no longer use actual wax paper. |
1974 Topps DECKLE EDGEThis 72-card test issue set was released with a very limited distribution on only the East Coast around Massachusetts making them quite scarce. They were Officially simply called "Topps Baseball Photos" but their serrated or "DECKLED" edge gave them the name they go by today. The 2 7/8" x 5" inch cards were sold in either a 2 card pack with gum or a 3 card pack with no gum for 5 cents.The cards were meant to have the look of the black and white movie star photos from the 1950's and feature a black & white photo with a blue facsimilie autograph on the front. The backs make this very scarce test issue even more interesting ! They feature handwritten script of the player's name, team, position & date and location of the photograph as well as a mock newspaper article on the player's career. This was Topps 2nd "Deckle Edge" issue, their first being their smaller and much more common 1969 Topps Deckle Edge which were inserts in certain series of packs of 1969 Topps cards. Variations of 1974 Topps Deckle Edge do exist, making this issue even more fun and challenging to collect. The backs can be found in either gray or a much scarcer white version. Also, a more limited proof version with non-scalloped edges exists and occasionally can be found.

1974 Topps Deckle Edge checklist and prices
1964 Topps Stand-UpsTopps most popular 1960's test issue !!!Blank-backed and unnumbered, these standard size cards were called "Stand-Ups". "Stand-Ups" refers to a type of card that was die cut around the player's picture. The background section then could be folded in half, so the card could stand up by itself while the player's picture stood alone. Directions for folding are on the background and when folded only the green background remains. 1934-36 Batter Up and the 1951 Topps All-Star sets are 2 other popular standup issues. Thanks to the green and yellow borders and the likelihood that most cards have been heavily folded, 1964 Stand-Ups are extremely difficult to obtain in top grades. The 77 card set features color photographs of the player on yellow and green backgrounds. 22 of the 77 cards were single printed making them twice as scarce and much higher in demand. The set is packed with Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey and more !!!

Welcome trooper (or potential trooper)! There's a lot of information to take in at 501st.com and it can be hard to find what you need. We've put together this list of frequently asked questions to try to make it easier for you to get what you need. If you don't see your answer here, please contact us directly.
Troop on!
Contents |
How can I get in touch with my local garrison?
Take a look at the garrison, detachment and outpost listing page to find the unit nearest you.
Can I join if I am under 18?
Unfortunately no. We require that all members be at least 18 years of age.
However there is a group created by our founder for kids under 18:
How do I get a costume?
In general, most members either build the costumes themselves or get their costumes from other members with extra parts / unused costumes.
How to tackle a costume depends on the costume. A tusken raider is very different to build than Darth Vader! Visit the detachments page to find the specialized discussion forum for the costume you are interested in. You can also take a look at our ever growing costume reference library to get some ideas.
How much do your costumes cost?
That depends on what costume you choose and what skills you bring to the project. If you can sew, an officer costume would be be relatively easy, but if you can't sew you'd need to hire a tailor.
In general, our costumes range from a couple hundred dollars to several thousand depending on the character.
Is the Rubies stormtrooper/Vader/Boba Fett acceptable for membership?
Unfortunately no, at least not without a LOT of work. In most cases you will spend more money upgrading the costumes than you would have building your own suit. Definitely check with the relevant detachment before you buy!
The Rubies Darth Vader can be made into a workable ROTS Vader with a lot of work. Visit the Sith Lords Detachment to find out more.
Similarly the Rubies Stormtrooper can be made to work as a Return of the Jedi style stormtrooper. There's a lot to do, but the First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment can show you how.
To date we have not seen anyone successfully upgrade the Boba Fett costume to Legion standards. The Bounty Hunters Guild would be the place to go to discuss.
There are no pictures of the character I'm looking for in the CRL
Our CRLs are based on the work of members. We need costumers who have completed the costumes to submit photos. If you have one of the costumes that is missing photos, head to your detachment and talk to your detachment leader about getting included in the CRL.

Healthcare Providers Learn IT's Value In Patient Care
Read the Original Article at InformationWeek
A new training center in Pittsburgh is trying to teach healthcare professionals to apply data and technology to improve the quality of care. Launched this month, the QIT Center -- standing for quality and information technology -- will serve people who deal directly with patients, from desk clerks to licensed practical nurses to physicians. "These are people already on the front lines," said Dr. Bruce Block, chief medical information officer of the Jewish Healthcare Foundation, one of the QIT Center's patrons.
"The idea is to get students from all the health professions," added Karen Wolk Feinstein, president and CEO of the Jewish Healthcare Foundation. Other QIT Center partners include the Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative (PRHI), which seeks to adapt the Toyota Production System to healthcare, and Health Careers Futures, an affiliate of Jewish Healthcare Foundation. The foundation and the publicly chartered Allegheny County Community Infrastructure and Tourism Fund each contributed $200,000 to the QIT Center. Even before its official grand opening, the center had provided seminars and workshops for dozens of medical students, emergency medical technicians and skilled nursing personnel. "The QIT Center is up and running in a bigger way than we ever imagined," Feinstein told InformationWeek Healthcare. Feinstein founded the PRHI in 1997 with then-Alcoa chairman and CEO Paul O'Neill, who went on to serve as U.S. treasury secretary during the first two years of the George W. Bush administration and has long been an advocate for reducing medical errors through data-driven process optimization. "The main focus for us has always been quality improvement," Feinstein said. [ To see how patient engagement can help transform medical care, check out 5 Healthcare Tools To Boost Patient Involvement. ] Starting in February, the QIT Center will be offering an ongoing series of 10-week Health Innovators Fellowship programs to engage young, aspiring entrepreneurs in health IT. "It's longer than a hackathon and not as long as a full semester," said Brian Turcsanyi, director of technology and analytics at PHRI. The fellowships, which initially will focus on data visualization, are intended to "feed the entrepreneurial spirit" by sharing expertise and providing very early-stage startups with business contacts, according to Turcsanyi. He called it an "incubator before an incubator." At the heart of quality improvement and education is data. The PRHI long has mined aggregated patient records from an independent state agency called Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council, but now it, like anyone else, can download regional and national data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Many more databases have become accessible since the federal government "democratized" massive stores of health information with the Health Data Initiative, according to Feinstein. "It's pretty amazing the data sets that CMS is releasing," she said. This publicly available data is helping hospitals reduce readmissions. Healthcare providers and payers are noticing irregularities for people with chronic diseases that might otherwise have gone undetected, Feinstein said. "They can do 'hot spotting' in their own communities and beyond," looking for high concentrations of certain conditions. The QIT Center will take advantage of PHRI's existing "Tomorrow's Healthcare" educational portal. "Tomorrow's Healthcare is our online management tool," explained Turcsanyi. The portal offers what he called "Facebook-like collaboration," including a cloud-based data dashboard and scorecard called Data Tracker. "We try to make it as simple and as user-friendly as we can," Turcsanyi said. "You need to aggregate data and stratify it into care conditions."
Clinical, patient engagement, and consumer apps promise to re-energize healthcare. Also in the new, all-digital Mobile Power issue of InformationWeek Healthcare: Comparative effectiveness research taps the IT toolbox to compare treatments to determine which ones are most effective.

text: Normally, when I have the privilege of Chairing a meeting, and there are ladies present, I ask those in attendance to refrain from using the "f" word. Not in the form of an order, but a polite request. In days past, before my last relapse, I was adamant about it. "If you don't like it, go find another meeting, or start one." Now, resigned to doing things differently, I have been critcized for it yet again. I don't live for confrontation today, as I once enjoyed, or thought I did. My sponsor told me if I felt it was the right thing to do, and he says it is, to continue with the request, and I plan to do so. God knows I didn't get to AA with "prim and proper" language skills. I understand this program to help me improve all areas of my life. Not looking for advice, as I've already received it. Just like to hear some comments and/or other views on the subject. Just glad to be here and be sober, and not sick as a dog today. Thank God and AA for that.

Texas A&M wide receiver Thomas Johnson catches a touchdown pass during the second half of a win against Louisiana Tech on Oct. 14. / Kevin Jairaj, US Presswire
Texas A&M freshman wide receiver Thomas Johnson has been found according to police ESPN and CNN report.
Thomas had been missing since Monday.
Johnson, one of the team's leading receivers, was last seen leaving his residence in College Station, Tex., on Monday at 5 p.m., wearing a black jacket, black shorts and grey shoes.
A spokesman for Texas A&M confirmed to USA TODAY Sports that Johnson did not attend practice on Monday. Since players were given Sunday off, the last time anyone related to the football program had seen Johnson was late Saturday, after the Aggies returned from a 29-24 win over Alabama.
According to a statement from the Texas A&M Police Department, Johnson may have left the university to spend time in the Dallas area, where he attended high school.
"All of us are obviously very concerned about the safety and well-being of Thomas Johnson, who has been missing since Monday evening," said Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin.
"Authorities are working closely with his family, friends and law enforcement agencies to help locate him. Thomas is a tremendous student-athlete, greatly admired by his fellow teammates and all of us on the coaching staff.
"If anyone has any current information about him or knows of his whereabouts, please contact his family or law enforcement authorities immediately. We pray for his quick and safe return."

Includes a holster and case. Measures AC/DC volts, current and resistance, diode and continuity. Sells for $29+ elsewhere online.
Meter free at Harbor freight with coupon
Sears has had this meter at a better price. Hold out if you can.
A free HF meter is a great deal but it's also about the lowest quality meter you can get. This one isn't great either but it's a significant step up in quality over the one at HF.
Bought this asap as I need both. Thanks for the find.
I had the HF meter and it fried in 2 days, brought it back and said they could e-waste it for me.
No, kmarts around me it would be nice if this was also available at sears
Got this combo for $10 a while back. Good meter. The detector is a plus.
Had one of these and the screen on the meter got smeared somehow without having ever been used. Got trashed after inability to clean. Still keep the detector for quick safety checks.

by Charlie Pastorfield AudioControl builds the EQL for one reason to make your system sound better. This versatile 2-channel equalizer features 13 bands of adjustment for sonic fine tuning, along with level controls that allow you to match any receiver to any amplifier. And speaker-level inputs allow you to connect the EQL to just about any car stereo, even to factory amps up to 400 watts. Equalization Most car audio problems occur in the bass frequencies, so the EQL gives you six bands of equalization between 31.5 and 180 Hz, along with a rolloff filter that keeps ultra-low bass out of your subwoofer system. You also get seven bands of equalization at octave intervals from 250 Hz all the way up to 16,000 Hz. Level matching for max performance Once connected, the EQL makes it easy turn up the input gain knobs until the indicator light flickers, adjust the output knobs until the light indicates the proper output, and you're all set. Balanced inputs reject noise caused by your vehicle's electrical system.

Unbeleavable Sound Written By AC, LA, on Saturday, October 18, 2014 Installed on a Rockford Fosgate 5-channel amp,with JBL in the doors, Pioneer 12 in the trunk, Clarion highs in the back dash.Really brightened everything up,and brought the staging up to eye level. Pros: one pair of RCA in one pair of RCA out Cons: none
Exactly what I needed Written By SS Teacher, Plant City Fl on Thursday, April 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had great individual components- JBL 6 1/2" components in front doors, sound deadening, Boston GTA 1005 5 channel amp, JL sub, but overall sound quality was lacking. I knew the problem was my factory head unit but didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on connectors, bus units, etc., etc. and still lose my paid-for satellite radio subscription. The LC2i line-out converter worked wonders for the bass, but when I had the EQL installed...WOW. The amazing sound put a smile on every face at the shop. I had it professionally done so they used an O-scope and did the pink noise test, etc. and you would not believe how flat the curve looks. My system sounds fantastic and this EQ was the final piece of the puzzle. (Well I do need to upgrade to a JL 13W3, but that is in the future) Pros: Exceptional clarity and ruler flat response curves from a factory head unit. World class customer service from Audio Control (and Crutchfield) Cons: Added a tiny hum when turning off, but most won't even notice- I am a perfectionist.

Honest tax mistakes fixable
Amended returns can make up for shortcomings
We're only human after all. Given that, and the fact that filing income tax forms can be complicated stuff, there is a risk of making an honest mistake.
So, what do you do if you've filed a federal return and realize after the fact that you made a mistake?
If it is a simple math error, chances are that it will be caught and corrected by the IRS as the return is processed.
If you didn't report all of your income or failed to claim a tax credit that you are due, then you should file an amended return, using Form 1040X.
Submit it after you get your refund, or by the time the return is due, whichever comes first.
If you need to file an amended return, do it within three years after the date you filed the original, or within two years after the date you paid the tax, whichever is later.
A return filed early is considered filed on its due date.

Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.

Still waiting for Nvidia to grow some some balls and use or reimplement dma-buf.
Phoronix: NVIDIA 310.19 Linux Driver Carries Enhancements
There's a new release available in the NVIDIA 310.xx Linux graphics driver series. The NVIDIA 310 Linux driver is already great for its big performance improvements thanks to Steam/Source coming to Linux and threaded OpenGL optimizations, but now the driver has been made even better...
Still waiting for Nvidia to grow some some balls and use or reimplement dma-buf.
What would help Linux as a gaming platform probably as much as Valve porting Steam to Linux is AMD offering decent drivers for their cards. Right now if you want somewhat near Windows performance there is no way around Nvidia and its blob.
Well the 300 series introduced a lot of changes for the RandR stuff and at the time NVIDIA devs promised to re-work the nvidia-settings utility to make it easier to configure the new options.
The interesting thing here is that this release seems to bring 310 out of beta and into the stable branch now.
Still no support for Wayland.
Still no support for fast-VT switching.
Still not open source.
I need to find a small low-profile NVidia solution for my media computer: E450.
AMD should shovel more money into Linux. No excuses.
I can't understand why they are in so much financial debt.
Big contract with Nintendo (Wii uses ATI)
Big contract with Microsoft (XBox 360 uses ATI)
Every major motherboard with an AMD cpu ships with an ATI chipset.
Honestly, I thought it a mistake because the graphics on the original Xbox were great under Nvidia.
360 was always a bit sluggish compared to the original Xbox. Essentially they are the same filesystem and operating system.
I've finally opted to replace my gpu's with Nvidia. The support from NVidia is unprecedented.
I can still get a old driver for an old card that runs on the latest Xorg.
Nice changelog, been waiting for those settings in nvidia-settings for some time:
======== Release 310 Entries ========
* Added support for configuring stereo in nvidia-settings when stereo is
enabled in the X configuration file.
* Added support for configuring the ViewPortIn and ViewPortOut for display
devices in nvidia-settings.
* Fixed metamode bookkeeping when modifying the display configuration in
the "X Server Display Configuration" page of nvidia-settings.
* Added support for configuring rotation and reflection per display device
in nvidia-settings.
2012-10-15 version 310.14
* Implemented workarounds for two Adobe Flash bugs by applying libvdpau
commit ca9e637c61e80145f0625a590c91429db67d0a40 to the version of libvdpau
shipped with the NVIDIA driver.
* Fixed an issue which affected the performance of moving windows of VDPAU
applications when run in some composite managers.
* Added unofficial GLX protocol support (i.e., for GLX indirect rendering)
for the GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object OpenGL extension.
* Added support for HDMI 3D Stereo with Quadro Kepler and later GPUs. See
the documentation for the "Stereo" X configuration option in the README
for details.
* Added experimental support for OpenGL threaded optimizations, available
through the __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS environment variable. For more
information, please refer to the "Threaded Optimizations" section in
chapter "Specifying OpenGL Environment Variable Settings" of the README.
* Improved performance and responsiveness of windowed OpenGL applications
running inside a Unity session.
I would easily recommand Nvidia for a Linux workstation involved with serious 3D computations or games.
But for a Linux laptop, really their lack of support for hybrid graphics is killing them completely.
Linux Desktop workstation : Nvidia GO
Linux laptop with hybrid graphics : Nvidia NO GO
Wonna bet that Steambox is currently planned with Nvidia GPU?
See no other reason.
Or maybe its me Linux geek who is not used to GPU verdors trying to get their support ready beforhand?

150 Bible Verses Every Catholic Should Know
Patrick Madrid is a life-long Catholic. He has authored or edited 18 books on Catholic themes, including Search and Rescue, Answer Me This, and the acclaimed Surprised by Truth series, as well as three forthcoming titles: Envoy for Christ: 25 Years as a Catholic Apologist (Servant Books), A Year With the Bible (Saint Benedict Press), and Why Be Catholic? (Random House).
Since 1996, Patrick has published Envoy Magazine, and he serves as the director of the Envoy Institute, which is dedicated to teaching Catholics how to explain their Faith more intelligently, defend it more charitably, and share it more effectively.
Commenting publicly on the effectiveness of Patrick's approach to doing apologetics, Cardinal Edward Egan, Archbishop Emeritus of New York, said, "How do you bring a friend or relative back into the Church? First you pray. Then, you follow Patrick Madrid's advice in [his book] Search and Rescue."
Prior to launching the Envoy apostolate, Patrick worked at Catholic Answers for eight years (1988 to 1996), where he served as vice president.
A veteran of a dozen formal, public debates with Protestant ministers, Mormon leaders, and other non-Catholic spokesmen, Patrick has presented thousands of seminars on Catholic themes, in English and Spanish, at parishes, universities, and conferences across the U.S. and around the world.
Patrick is the host of the Right Here, Right Now, radio show (produced by the Immaculate Heart Radio Network) heard Monday through Friday (4:00 – 5:00 pm ET) on EWTN radio. He is a regular guest on the Catholic Answers Live. From 2007-2012, he hosted the Thursday edition of EWTN Radio's Open Line. He has also hosted several EWTN television series, including "Pope Fiction," "Search & Rescue," and "Where Is That In the Bible?"
He is an adjunct professor of theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville.
Married for 31 years, Patrick and his wife Nancy have been blessed by the Lord with 11 children and 12 grandchildren (so far). They reside in the Diocese of Columbus. His website is www.patrickmadrid.com.
In the dynamic DVD presentation Where Is That In The Bible?, you'll discover the fathomless riches of Sacred Scripture as you journey through twenty key biblical subjects with your host, best-selling Catholic author and speaker Patrick Madrid.

I wanted a product that could play dvd's,cd's, and mp3 books. For a small price and a reasonable one too, I was very pleased with the quality of the product. They stand up to constant and continuous use. I will buy more products from your site in the future.
The girls love their new DVD players. We have have the dual screen DVD players for our car, but decided that we would try the individual DVD players. We take lots of long road trips and save the dvd players for the trips. These individual players work well because they can be brought inside the house, brought into a doctor's office.... more flexibility. We love them!
Good deal for the money, very clear nice picture easy to use....
I bought this for my two year old granddaughter who loves her "DBD's". We keep it on her little table and she get the DVD she wants and pops it in and hits the play button. Couldn't be easier. The picture quality is fabulous and so is the sound. Very, very happy with this purchase.
I purchased this for my grandson who is 11, for Christmas. It was an excellent buy. We charged it so he would be able to enjoy it right away on Christmas. It plays dvd's, cd's, and mp3 books. The unit comes with an adapter for the car, a power plug for the wall, and runs about 2 hours when charged by the battery. It has a remote control, ear buds and also an adapter to attach to a television to use as a dvd player. The picture is crystal clear. The only thing I would have to say is that the speakers are fairly low, you may need to purchase additional speakers for more range in volume if needed. Great value we all loved it.
Bought this for my 2 year old. Plays educational discs, movies etc. quality nice. Great to have in the car!!
I was excited to get a dvd player for such a great price but when I tried to use it, it kept stopping and the anticipation of seeing a movie was ruined. Maybe it was just this player that was not working well but I was not going to take the chance of the same thing happening with another one .
I purchase this for my son's birthday.. It is playing well.. we are not having any problems wiht it...This is the second time i purchase a dvd player from this site and both times everything was fine.
bought this for a young friend and she is very happy.
It is OK for its size and what I use it for, but limited volume is a problem.

Brazilian Blowout Acai Deep Conditioning Masque
JenBest Deep Conditioner!!!!I absolutely LOVE this product! I stopped getting Brazilian Blowouts about a year ago and started embracing my natural wave...BUT I still use this product. It's amazing. Once a week I hop in the shower a few hours before bed, get my hair wet, then apply a generous amount to my wet hair. I clip it up and sleep with it in my hair overnight, then wash and condition normally the next day. It gives me "celebrity" hair! Totally soft, wavy, awesome hair with tons of SHINE...but doesn't weigh it down so it has tons of volume.posted Mar 1, 2012Link to this post
MalorieOhioHairMedium BrownOily HairCurly HairLove Everything They Have To Offer.I just got a BB done, and I am the happiest person on this planet. It is amazing, as are the products that they offer. It smells amazing, kind of like a citrus scent. Although they are pricey if you are going to get the treatment done you mine as well get the products to go along with it.posted Aug 21, 2011Link to this post

Kimberly G.HairBlondeDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairContains AlcoholGreat scent. Worked great the first time, but don't feel like I got the same result with multiple uses..contains alcohol..seems to have a drying effect with repeated use. I have curly, unruly, dry hair, best to avoid products with alcohol. I wish the ingredients were listed with the product online.posted Nov 16, 2010Link to this post
Kaitlin C.USAHairBlondeChemically Treated HairTotal Hair Transformation, No LieThe in-salon treatment is ridiculous it works so well. My hair was severely dry and broken from too much coloring (blonde) and the treatment made it look perfectly healthy. This masque is the last step of the in-salon treatment and you can buy it to do it at home. The masque is where the magic is. While the Brazilian Blowout is amazing and it lasts a long time, using the masque a couple of times a week is what keeps it looking the first day you got it done. This masque has me wondering if I really need the entire treatment or if this product alone would suffice. It's kind of life-changing, if hair is important to you. Highly recommended!posted Nov 2, 2010Link to this post
DeirdreTNMatchlessBest deep conditioner EVER! I have dry hair and my daughter has alopecia areata and this conditioner works Wonders on any type of hair. First time, I noticed a huge difference in the dexterity of her hair. Using the product every week and had made a huge difference in the quality in my hair as well as hers. This product has made my 60 year old mother a believer and trusts me that is a feat. AWESOME.posted Oct 19, 2010Link to this post
Jill G.New JerseyHairDark BrownOily HairReview Of Brazillian Deep Conditioning Masque...I was looking for a "Pre-Blow- Dry Serum/Cream" because my ends tend to get dry but my scalp becomes very oily. I asked my spa/salon's receptionist what her recommendation would be. She told me that she uses this particular product for pre-blow-drying because she also tends to get dry ends with oily hair. I purchased this Brazillian product from my salon & used as a "pre-blow drying serum", not a deep conditioning mask in the shower. I apply it to clean & conditioned, damp hair. I apply it to the middle of my head & as well as very heavily on the ends, (not my scalp). A small amount goes a long way. This products gives off a very light & fresh fragrance. LOVE the fragrance! The result... EXTREMELY soft, smooth, & shiny hair after the blow-drying process. EXCELLENT product. I will definitely be repurchasing & I highly recommend.posted Oct 1, 2010Link to this post

Heeeeey... it was sunny and warm in Seattle today! I really like this shirt, though.
Congrats Chris. This is your best work yet. For the first time ever, I bought 2 of these shirts. Can't wait for them to show up.
Ah, glad this one printed. So pretty.
A very neat and clever idea. Good job!
I really like this shirt. I just have to wonder what happens when all of that color goes down the sewer... Oh... Oh god...
This shirt is too sweet. I had to buy it. Haven't bought a shirt off here in over 2 months.
Rats, it would appear I used The Rain Song for the watercolor shirt. However, the draining of these colors does explain why my septic was leaking rainbows the other day.
Double Rainbow all across the pavement! hahaha for those of you who are not filled in on the whole Hungrybear9562 joke, heres a link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSNhk5ICTI this guys is stoned out of his brains hahaha
We've got to stop meeting like this...night after night around 3:30 am I waken...roll over, tell my bosom companion "honey, wake up...time to go Wooting...." I reach for her, stroking her gently until she's awake and ready, fully primed. My hand touches that sweet, sweet spot as I look on, perusing the delights of tonight's encounter...I push her firmly, just THERE...and...SUCCESS! I'm in for one!!!!!

So the two of you can be twins when you wear yours? ;-)
This design reminds me of an old ad for Crown Paints, What A Difference A Day Makes, where a rainshower turns amazingly colorful.
Wow, big vote tally! It's a nifty design that's for sure. It can't be long before this concept is stolen and used in a Sony TV campaign.
O_o Anyone else see the Umbrella Corp umbrella? I'm terrified...
Wouldn't the dog's paw prints be green?
i don't like it, because i don't get it, because there is nothing to get...booo, hisss
Yea!!!! one of my favs! congrats cmdixon2! excellent work!

I used to work for an umbrella company that went out of business. To me this shirt signifies their company slowly washing away. I still like it though.
Whoa!! There's nothing like waking up to a Woot sale email on a Friday morning! As you can tell by the time of this post, I did NOT expect to get 1st place this week after submitting late Saturday night. Thanks so much everyone! It's nice to know the extra hours I spent on this design wasn't for naught.
ilovewasabi wrote:why is the one blue umbrella on the right not ummmmm dissolving its color?
I wondered that myself, but the answer is pretty simple. The guy with the blue umbrella just recently stepped out into the rain. As evidenced by the fact his foot prints have not yet washed away. So he has not been outside long enough for his color to start running. ...maybe?

When we moved to Arizona, one of the things I missed most was rain. This shirt captures some of the cleansing beauty that rain provides. Voted for one, in for one.
I really love the color choices!
Damnit, BP.
Thanks for the link to Renoir! I was about to google it...
Congrats Chris! I love the flowy river of white-chocolate-looking umbrella paint. That's my interpretation. It's a compliment! ;)
I was forced to buy two days in a row as well! Oh, the emotional trauma this has caused ...

COME ON MAN =) Obviously I'm joking, because this shirt is awesome. But I really did say that out loud without meaning to, that part wasn't a joke.
Hope the MS4's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan takes this event into account!
am i the only one who sees the resident evil connection?

From the thumbnail it looked like a drum set, I'd be in for that. Nice design though, I like it.
First one I've been in for in months, very original.
I feel really stupid right now. I don't get this. Is this based of of Renoir's The Umbrellas? I think it looks amazing!
Well.. despite the asphalt... it's just too lovely, and I bit, with 5 minutes to spare! My second cmdixon shirt;)

This page is about the fictional State of San Andreas. For the game, please see Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. For the city in GTA 1 see City of San Andreas.
STATE State of San Andreas | |
[[file:|{{{imagesize}}}]] | |
Appearance(s): | Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas |
Capital: | Unknown |
Governor: | Unknown |
Population: | Around 4-5.000.000 |
San Andreas is a fictional state in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It is mainly based on California and Nevada (only having the city Las Venturas based on Las Vegas and some desert region) while there are other notable areas and landmarks nodding to areas of Arizona (mainly the desert and forest areas). San Andreas appears to be comprised entirely of islands as the state is surrounded by water, however, several maps throughout the state depict the northern regions (Tierra Robada and Bone County) connecting to the mainland (despite this, however, in the game it's possible to completely circumnavigate the state by boat). San Andreas' area is estimated to be 36 square kilometers in size (13.9 square miles), the largest setting in the GTA series so far. The estimated population of the state is around 4-5 million making the population density of around 150,000 per square kilometer (350,000 per square mile), which would be the highest in the world. However, the area of the state would be the smallest if it were a real state in the U.S.
The state is divided into three cities and five counties, the cities of Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas, and the counties of Red County, Flint County, Whetstone, Tierra Robada and Bone County.
Los Santos
San Fierro
San Fierro is the smallest city in area and the second largest in population in San Andreas, situated on a peninsula in the western portion of the state. It is based on the city of San Francisco, California, with the additional references of two Firth of Forth bridges in Scotland, the Forth Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge, the latter being made to also resemble the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge in both design and physical location. South of San Fierro lies the massive Mount Chiliad and the little town of Angel Pine in Whetstone. North of the city, across the Gant Bridge (San Fierro's version of the Golden Gate Bridge), lies the small town of Bayside. Northeast of the city lies the county of Tierra Robada. To the east is the Panopticon, and to the southeast is Flint County.
The city bears visible scars of an earthquake, a likely reference to the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, 3 years before the game takes place. However, news on the radio reports on the aftermath of an earthquake early in the game, suggesting that a major earthquake had hit the state recently.
Las Venturas
Las Venturas is a fictitious city based on Las Vegas, Nevada. It is the second largest city in area and smallest in population in San Andreas, and like its counterpart, Las Venturas is located in a desert region and enjoys legalized gambling, sporting casinos such as The Camel's Toe and Caligula's Palace.
The city is also notable for its freeway system. The Julius Thruway is a freeway that circles the whole city. Freeways from both Los Santos and San Fierro intersect with it. Another major road is the Harry Gold Parkway, which runs through the middle of the city and intersects twice with the Julius Thruway and then leads to Los Santos (though it is not called the Harry Gold Parkway once it leaves the city). At one point in the game, the game's protagonist, Carl Johnson, pulls off an Ocean's 11-esque heist in Caligula's Casino, subsequently fomenting relationships between Carl Johnson and Salvatore Leone.
Las Venturas is translated from Spanish to English as "The Fortunes."
Counties and towns
In addition to the three principal metropolises, San Andreas state is home to several smaller towns and suburbs that are scattered over several counties.
Red County
Red County is a rural county located among forests consisting of primarily tall redwood trees and streams. The county is based on the quintessential American countryside and is populated with stereotypical rednecks. It is based on San Fernando Valley, which is just north of Los Angeles, and also Orange County, which is south of it.
The Panopticon
The Panopticon is a little area situated in Red County.
Palomino Creek
Palomino Creek is a town located in north east Red County in the state of San Andreas. It is home to a bank, which has suffered from many robberies, a Pizza Stack, and Hanky Panky Point, a popular destination for teenage couples and weird old men. A mention on K-Rose radio station mentions a football game between Palomino Creek High School & Blueberry High School, in Blueberry (although there is neither a football field nor high school in either city).
Palomino Creek is the largest settlement in the state outside of the major cities.
Montgomery is located in northeastern Red County. It has a small hospital, Crippen Memorial, a Well Stacked Pizza, and also contains a small horse betting shop.
Dillimore is located on the northern outskirts of Los Santos. Although it is a small town, it contains a sheriff's office, a Pay 'n' Spray, a gas station and a diner. It also houses the large farm estate which contains the Quad.
Blueberry is the biggest rural town in Red County. On the outskirts of town, there is a large farm and brewery. The town itself is home to a liquor store and an Ammu-Nation. The climate resembles that of San Fierro. It is possible that the buildings on the outskirts of town are a high school, and the fields could possibly be a football field of some sort, which would answer an announcement on K-Rose about a football game between Blueberry & Palomino Creek.
Flint County
Flint County is an undeveloped rural part of San Andreas. There are no towns and only a couple of farms. There are only a few missions in Flint County throughout the game which mostly involve racing through it.
Whetstone is located in the south-west corner of San Andreas, just south of San Fierro. The county is home to Mount Chiliad, the tallest mountain in the state at a half-mile (800 m) in height.
Angel Pine
Angel Pine is a logging town in Whetstone, located on the foot of Mount Chiliad. It is notable because it contains a hospital from which Paramedic missions can be performed. It also contains a sheriff's office, a saw mill, an Ammu-Nation and a trailer park. Interestingly, a hearse may also be found parked near the hospital. Carl Johnson was dropped off here by Frank Tenpenny, Eddie Pulaski and Jimmy Hernandez after Sweet Johnson was arrested.
Tierra Robada
Tierra Robada (based on the Sierra Nevada Area) is a small, peninsular county north of San Fierro.
Bayside is a waterfront town located on the western tip of Tierra Robada, just north across the bay from San Fierro. The sole access point to the town is directly linked to San Fierro via the Gant Bridge.
The town contains two notable features. First, its boat school, where Carl can obtain his boating license. Second, the town has a helipad, usually with a helicopter present, useful for traveling. It is a common rest stop for people traveling from San Fierro to Las Venturas.
The presence of the Bayside Marina and its proximity to the Gant Bridge suggests that the town is primarily based on Sausalito, which is almost geographically similar to Bayside, in addition to having one of its access points connected directly to the Golden Gate Bridge.
El Quebrados
El Quebrados is home to a sheriff's department, a medical center, and a safehouse. The town is located east of Bayside. The name El Quebrados, which is an improper mix of singular and plural Spanish, translates roughly to "The Bankrupt," or "the Broken".
Las Barrancas
Las Barrancas is located within viewing range of the Sherman Dam, and is also located just beside a cliffside ruin. "Las Barrancas" is Spanish for "Canyons".
Aldea Malvada
Aldea Malvada is a ghost town located in Tierra Robada overlooking El Quebrados on the outskirts of town. It literally translates into English as "Evil Village".
Bone County
Bone County, most likely based off Nye, Esmeralda , and Mineral counties in Nevada, is one of the most important areas of the game, other than the major cities themselves, containing many areas and missions needed for continuation; a large amount of easter eggs are also located within it. The county's two most prominent features include a secret military base named "Area 69" (based on Area 51) located at its center, as well as the Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard, directly north of Area 69. Bone County boasts an oil field (Octane Springs), a quarry, and several unique natural features such as mesas.
The Sherman Reservoir and Dam
The county is bordered in the west by the Sherman Reservoir and Sherman Dam (based on the Hoover Dam) as well as Tierra Robada county. Las Venturas is located to its east, and Red County to its south. The county as a whole is obviously based on rural portions for the American state of Nevada, because it has a similar climate, terrain and topography. A Dinghy boat and a SeaSparrow can be found docked on both sides of the resevoir. Also, a Skimmer can be found just north of the dam, right at the part where the river (Based on the Colorado River) splits.
Restricted Area (Area 69)
Area 69 is a restricted, fenced-in military base, patterned after Area 51 and named for the 69 sex position. The base houses various clandestine government projects, including the "Black Project" jetpack. It may possibly house some projects involving UFOs and/or extraterrestrial life, as suggested by the presence of the nearby "Lil' Probe Inn" (a reference to the Lil' Ale Inn), dialog on the base's PA system during the "Black Project" mission, and by dialog on Marvin Trill's in-game radio show.
Much of the base consists of underground research labs, although the player can only enter the labs during the course of one mission, or by finding a way into San Andreas' "Blue Hell", an area under the main terrain mesh, and finding the underground base there. The above-ground structures include a series of control towers, guard posts, and garages for military vehicles. These garages are the first area in the game in which tanks and military helicopters will automatically spawn. The player automatically receives a five-star wanted level for entering, attempting to enter, or flying over the base (at a low altitude); surface-to-air missiles will be fired at the player from the base if he attempts to fly over. The SAM sites which launch the missiles can be destroyed however, and if flying a Hydra aircraft, flare decoys can be deployed to reduce the likelihood of being shot down.
Fort Carson
Fort Carson is the largest town in Bone County, and also its county seat, as indicated by the small red building in the main street, having been significantly undeveloped as of 1992. It is based on the real life towns of Rachel and Carson City, both being in Nevada, Rachel is the closest habitation to Area 51, and houses the the Little A'le'inn. Carson City for the town itself; the main street, the town hall and the surroundings. North of the town is Area 69, as well as the smaller town of Las Payasadas. It has a small hospital and a sheriff's office. There is also an Ammu-Nation just outside of town. Fort Carson is also seen in "The Introduction". Ken Rosenberg was in rehab in the town's hospital. The town is located west of Las Venturas. A small cropduster is known to appear next to one of the houses near here and it is flyable.
The Lil' Probe Inn, a fictional bar/motel, is located north from Fort Carson. The Lil' Probe Inn is actually a parody of the Little A'le Inn in Rachel; the interior of the Probe Inn matches the interior of the real life Little A'le Inn. Down the road from the Probe Inn is Area 69. Its name is a mix of the real-life Little A'le Inn while also referring to "probing", the alleged anal probes used in alien research.
The Big Ear
The Big Ear, a large satellite dish located west of Area 69, is claimed by the official San Andreas website to emit radiation that results in birth defects in the local populace, specifically where newborns are born without ears.
Las Payasadas
Las Payasadas (Spanish for "clowning off" or "antics") bills itself as the home of "The Big Pecker — the world's largest cock", which in fact is a huge animatronic rooster designed to advertise a store called "Pecker's Feed and Seed". It is located in northern Bone County. Possibly based on Palisade, Nevada.
Las Brujas
Las Brujas is another ghost town located in the El Castillo del Diablo (Translation: The Castle of the Devil) region of Bone County. It is located right off the Verdant Meadows airstrip. Its name is Spanish for "The Witches". It was based on Bodie, California.
Fault reference
In real life, there is a fault named the San Andreas Fault, which runs the whole length of California. The fault line can be seen in-game while diving in the San Fierro Bay.
- The state is referenced in GTA IV in the radio, commercials etc. Places like Las Venturas, Vinewood and The Los Santos Freeway (which probably is the Mulholland Intersection or the Mulholland Drive) are mentioned.
- According to a radio advertisement in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and in San Andreas itself, the Glory Hole Theme Park is located in San Andreas, but it is not evidenced anywhere in the state.
- It is unknown if San Andreas:
- Has a state capital
- Has any border states
- Has a state flag or a state seal
- San Andreas is the only 3D Universe location to not have a portable rendition.
- San Andreas is the only state to be fully rendered in a game in the GTA franchise.

Not sure what's all the rush about Qt5. Qt4 is working great.
It's the second or third time I read on phoronix that the beta is delayed.
Just report it when it's here. ( Qt isn't freakin E17 )
i read wayland's website every day. qt doesn't have complete support. I was asking about the level of completion.
The Known issues section from http://wayland.freedesktop.org/qt5.html#heading_toc_j_3 only lists client-side decorations which have different effect on Wayland compositors.
Unless the page lies, this sounds rather complete to me and considering that client-side decorations are a really stupid idea to begin with, I'm not sure Qt even should fully implement this.

I love this bag, the size is perfect, it's not heavy at all and I can easily store all my stuff in here. I'd been looking for almost a year for a bag exactly like this one, I couldn't be happier
Wednesday October 29 2014
the middle pocket ruins the shape of this bag. it makes it look awful and the lump from putting stuff inside hides things underneath.

I love the design, very nice leather and lovely accents.

Cox's home security platform launches in Virginia
After piloting its home automation and security service last year in Arizona, and launching it in four additional markets in 2012, Cox's Home Security service is now available to its customers in Virginia.
Despite competition from entrenched providers, such as ADT, home automation and security services are becoming a big business for cable operators. In addition to Cox, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Bright House Networks, Verizon and AT&T have all deployed home security, or home automation, services in varying degrees.
Like Time Warner Cable and Comcast, Cox is using iControl for its software, as well as the same SMC Networks touchscreen that Comcast is currently using.
The Cox Home Security service starts with a bundled price of $29.99 a month with a three-year contract. Equipment for a basic system is free, and installation starts at $99. Cox Home Security also features cellular backup as part of the base $29.99 price.
The services and features in Cox Home Security include many items that are emerging as standards in the set of security products:
- Intrusion and home safety monitoring (includes fire, gas and flood)
- Remote access so the system can be controlled away from home via a secure online site or smartphone app
- Email/text alerts to notify customers of occurrences at the home
- Safety sensors to detect hazardous conditions such as carbon monoxide and smoke
- Secure video monitoring available via smartphone or a Web browser
- Control of home functions such as lighting and temperature.
"Customers trust Cox each day to connect them to the things they care about. For most people, home and family are at the top of that list. Cox Home Security is a natural extension of the communications services we deliver," said Gary McCollum, senior vice president and general manager at Cox.
The launch of Home Security created about 40 jobs across the Cox Communications Virginia system.

Back from surgery, Danks slated for season debut
White Sox lefty opposes Marlins righty Koehler in Friday opener
The White Sox will get a major piece of their rotation back on Friday night, when John Danks takes the ball for the opener of a three-game Interleague series against the Marlins at U.S. Cellular Field.
The start comes just more than a year after the left-hander threw his last Major League pitch. Placed on the 15-day disabled list on May 25, 2012, his season ended with arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder, and he has spent the '13 campaign building arm strength after his velocity lagged during Spring Training.
"I feel like I'm close to getting where my stuff was before I got hurt, so stuff-wise there won't be too much of a drop-off," Danks said on Tuesday. "My biggest thing is throwing the ball where I want to and making it do what I want it to do."
Danks made four rehab stats, including three at Triple-A Charlotte. He posted a 3.18 ERA in those outings, despite walking 13 and striking out 15 in 22 2/3 innings.
The 28-year-old lefty, who notched a 3.77 ERA across 124 starts from 2008-11, will try to lead the the White Sox to their seventh win in 10 games after the team lost to the Red Sox on Wednesday night. He'll face a Miami club that has dropped two straight and nine of 11.
The Marlins will counter with righty Tom Koehler, who has put together consecutive promising starts since joining the rotation on May 12, although he does not have a win to show for it. The 26-year-old has given up a total of three runs, including one in six innings against the D-backs on Saturday, when he struck out seven.
Koehler, whose first six appearances came in relief, said starting is more methodical than pitching out of the bullpen.
"When you're starting, you have a little bit more opportunity to set guys up," Koehler said. "You're not doing that in the 'pen. You're coming out, you're trying to get them out as quick as possible."
The Marlins' offense has held Koehler back, scoring three total runs in his starts, including none while he has been in the game. But manager Mike Redmond is happy with Koehler's progress since Spring Training.
"I like the way he's acted on the mound," Redmond said. "I like his demeanor. I like the way he competes. He's getting an opportunity to go out there and start some games, and he's done a nice job. He's been impressive."
Marlins: Ozuna starting strong
• Right fielder Marcell Ozuna, who went 1-for-4 against the Phillies' Cliff Lee on Wednesday, entered the day leading all rookies with 22 hits, six doubles and nine RBIs in May, after making his Major League debut on April 30. He ranked second among rookies with eight extra-base hits and 33 total bases this month.
Ozuna's hit on Wednesday gave him an eight-game hitting streak. He has a batting line of .304/.337/.443 for the season.
• Catcher Rob Brantly is 17-for-53 (.321) since April 21, raising his average from .170 to .250. He ranks second on the team with seven doubles and third with 11 RBIs.
White Sox: Strong at the end
• The back end of Chicago's bullpen has been clicking of late. On Tuesday, Jesse Crain entered a bases-loaded jam with one out and notched consecutive strikeouts to run his scoreless streak to 17 2/3 innings. Addison Reed then nailed down his 16th save in 17 tries.
"It's always evolving," manager Robin Ventura said of his bullpen usage. "I think even [Tuesday] night, using Jesse in the seventh, which we haven't done much of. You realize each game is a little bit different if guys are available.
"Every day is different of how you use guys depending on who's available, so that's always evolving, moving around by how guys do and how they're feeling. It's more by feel."
Worth noting
• The Marlins are 5-4 all-time against the White Sox. The teams last met in 2010 in Chicago.
• The Marlins have used 36 players this season, tied with the Dodgers for most in the Majors. Jordan Brown became the latest to join Miami on Tuesday.

Coffee farm wih a great view
We stayed in Kona Cottage recently for spring break. This is our first VRBO experience. We fall in love with the cottage and Big Island. It felt like, we are staying at our own house. Randy and Atsumi thought about all the details you can need for a vacation in Hawaii. Lovely Kitchen equipped with everything new looking cooking utensils, spices, cooking oil, sugar, ... We almost had all meals at the house, we shopped at Costco about 10-15 minutes drive. Every meal we had was at our lovely Lanai with a perfect sunset a background of birds singing. Grill was my husband's favorite, spotless clean as the house. I should mention my favorite: flowers at the house and Lanai. This unit has a great privacy, very quite except the nature. I wish we could stayed longer then a week so we could enjoy more Atsumi's spotless Gym, infinity pool and the hot tub. There are million things to do in Big Island. We did Manta diving, snorkeling, Volcano visit, Botanic Garden, Green sand beach, Makalewena beach and more. Definitely we want to go back and stay at Kona Cottage again.
