Long-missing WWII medal awarded in LA
Her mother moved into the apartment in 1960 and may have placed the Purple Heart in the locker then, Merin said. Her mother lived there until 1975 before moving away, and Merin's aunt lived there until 2005. Another aunt lived there until 2009.
They never spoke about what was in the locker, and the family must have missed the box when they took away the aunts' possessions in 2005 and 2009, Merin said.
Merin said that in addition to the Purple Heart, which Pike kept for framing, the box contained letters and other papers, and her father's Jewish prayer book.
"I found it very hard to look at. A lot of them were condolence letters," she said.
Merin's mother was told about the discovery of the Purple Heart but didn't live to see it - she died Feb. 1 at age 94.

Study: Apple #1 in Customer Satisfaction for Q2; Dell Rating Falls Dramatically
TMO Reports - Study: Apple #1 in Customer Satisfaction for Q2; Dell Rating Falls Dramatically
by , 10:00 AM EDT, August 16th, 2005
American consumers rated Apple Computer with the PC industry's highest customer satisfaction scores in the second quarter, while Dell Inc. took a dramatic drop as their customers complained of long-wait times and few answers, a new survey revealed Tuesday.
Apple scored a rating of 81 in the University of Michigan's American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) for the second quarter to take first place. The score was unchanged from the same quarter last year.
Dell, the world's largest personal computer maker, declined 6.3% from 2004 to a 74 rating for second place among PC manufacturers. Hewlett-Packard Co. scored 73 for third place, Gateway was fourth with a 72 point score, and HPs Compaq brand was fifth with an overall score of 67.
"Apple's high score shows they are concentrating on after-the-sale support and making their customers extremely happy," Dr. Claes Fornell, marketing professor and head of the university's National Quality Research Center, told The Mac Observer. "Apple has found the right model and is continuing to consistently please it customers."
The situation for Dell is extremely different. What was once a leader in the ACSI rankings is now suffering from a glut of customers it can't handle, Dr. Fornell said.
"The results for Dell are very surprising," he said. "It is rare to see such a sizable shift by an industry leader. Dell is dropping in large part because of call center problems, including long wait times and difficulty with consumers getting their questions answered."
Dr. Fornell said it appears the problems for Dell are due to stronger PC sales related to lower prices. "And as a result, Dell hasn't been able to stay up with the call demand," he said. "This poses a real challenge for them. They need to step up to the plate and fix this problem quickly."
Dr. Fornell commented that he often sees a drop in customer satisfaction on the heels of a company's growing market share.
"You often see customers less happy as a company's growth surges," he said. "I think this is what is happening to Dell. You've got to make sure customers stay reasonably happy and get their questions answered. Any company that thinks a customer won't remember months or years from now when they had a bad experience isn't paying attention."
The University of Michigan polls some 80,000 U.S. consumers quarterly to ask how companies are faring in terms of customer service, surveying 250 customers per company. Dr. Fornell said Apple's results were only related to Apple's support of the iPod digital media device if a consumer looked for answers directly related to a Macintosh PC.
Dr. Fornell said Apple's score of 81 was "among the highest" for any company. The overall PC group had an average of 74 points, slightly above the overall average for all companies of 73.1.

The name of the proposed law suggests that its ambit will be limited only to practices that cause obvious physical harm to individuals
A recent discussion on a regional television channel on devaluation of the Indian currency had a panel of numerologists and astrologers conclude that the crux of the problem was the shape of the rupee sign: it had a "downward-looking" shape which had led to its "downfall".
Though rationalists would argue that this is a blatant instance of promoting blind faith and misleading people, the much talked about anti-superstition Bill that the government proposes to bring in may not address domains of this kind where the lines between faith, religion, cultural practice and superstition are hazy. The name of the proposed legislation — Karnataka Prevention and Eradication of Human Sacrifice and Other Inhuman Evil and Gory Practices and Blackmagic Bill 2013 — suggests that its ambit will be limited only to practices that cause obvious physical harm to individuals.
However, a panel of experts brought together by the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bangalore, is hoping to build a civil society debate around the issue of superstition in a more comprehensive way before the Bill is drafted. NLSIU is holding consultations and putting together a policy document that it will present to the government by October-end. The committee, headed by thinker and rationalist G. Ramakrishna, believes that the bill should go beyond what the recently-enforced Maharashtra Ordinance has done — of listing and banning a set of practices.
"Unless it is thought through, there is the danger of the law punishing only the small fry, such as roadside fortune tellers, while the more corporatised practitioners do not come under its ambit. That would be tragic, like how wildlife protection laws have gone against the interest of tribal people," says S. Japhet, director, Centre for the Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy, NLSIU.
The second draft of the concept note prepared by the team, and now being circulated, states that the proposed law cannot be blind to "god men occupying privileged positions of power, enjoying immunity for their actions", practices that are "prima facie injurious to human dignity but are still celebrated in the name of spirituality and faith" and "practices that reinforce caste, class and gender hierarchies".
It pitches a set of questions for further debate: What does regulation mean in the private affairs of an individual's faith? Are we pitting superstition against modernity or is it a faceoff between religion and secular character of the nation? Will the proposed law regulate or prohibit superstitious practices?
This is a treacherous terrain for any law to negotiate, admits V.S. Sridhara, associate professor at the centre and a member of the committee. He adds that it cannot be wished away. "For instance, if visual media is obliged to have a statutory warning on tobacco, why not when they air shows that promote obscurantist practices?" he asks.
Interestingly, the expert team demands a commitment to rationalism from the political class. The concept note says: "The State should become the first observer of the provisions of the Bill and stop encouraging practices based on irrational or blind belief in its own offices and shall not promote such practices."

Lapis lazuli is a rock aggregate made up from - predominantly - the minerals lazurite, sodalite, nosalite and hauyne. It has a typical cobalt blue color, often with patches of pyrite (golden) and/ or calcite (white). It was this rock which was powdered to create the ultramarine pigment used by painters prior to the 19th century[1]. Historically this gemstone comes from Afghanistan and this location was reported by Marco Polo as early as 1271, although the Romans already knew about and even the Bible[2] refers to this aggregate of such a wonderful color. Another famous locality where lapis lazuli is mined is in the Andes mountain range of Chile.
Lapis lazuli is often mimicked by a dyed jasper, but it does not show the white and golden patches. Sodalite, one of the components of lapis lazuli, is often mistaken for it, but the color is much paler. There is also a sintered synthetic spinel which imitates lapis lazuli.
Dyeing and impregnation occurs on lesser quality gems and these can be easily removed by acetone. Leaving these stones in the sun for a too long a period of time will cause the dye or impregnation to stain the environment.

ubuntu Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
1 Attachment(s)
Have never been able to get my GeForce 7900 GS to work under 4 versions of Ubuntu now. Have just upgraded to 9.04 and same problem.
I do these 2 steps:
1. Nvidia drivers are available in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers. now at version 180
2. System > Administration > NVidia X Server Settings application tells me to "(just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."
And reboot, and then get the error message:
Am able to log in with low resolution temporarily to fix problem.
Hardware Drivers application now shows that "This driver is activated but not currently in use. "
If I disable/ remove the driver, and then copy my old basic xorg.conf into place, will be able to get higher resolutions. But do not get Nvidia driver joy.
Ran nvidia-bug-report.sh and it is attached. Logs (attached in report and below) seem to indicate that the module loads and then unloads??
Thank you very much for any help.
Re: ubuntu Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
I also just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04. My laptop has a GeForce 8200M G chip, and I was using the version 180 proprietary driver from the Ubuntu repository. After I upgraded to 9.04, the sytem would lock up after a minute or two of interaction. I've now upgraded to the 185 beta driver, and it is stable again. But it wasn't easy--I had the same problems as you.
First, in the Hardware Drivers window, remove the 180 driver. Then reboot.
When it's up again, leave the graphics screen, go to a terminal window (crtl-alt-f1), and log in. Use ps to find the X and gdm processes, and kill them.
Run "sudo NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.04-pkg1.run" and follow the instructions. In my case, the tool needed to build a new kernel module. Reboot.
When it comes up, you should see a new NVidia splash screen saying "Beta driver" in red. Once in your desktop, you can configure the driver using "sudo nvidia-settings".
The reason for the errors you were getting was that the kernel module became version 185 (after install) while the driver was still version 180. You have to completely remove the 180 driver and reboot before installing the new driver.
Hope this helps.

Re: ubuntu Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
You didn't need to go to all that trouble. You can always find the latest NVIDIA driver in my PPA on Launchpad. Just remove the Nvidia driver you manually installed (run the package with --uninstall), add my PPA to your repository list, and install the driver again with the non-free driver tool. Then, you will get all of the advantages of the DKMS system without having to use the old Nvidia driver packaged with Ubuntu.
Re: ubuntu Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
Thank you for your replies.
thefirstm, I have linked for now to your PPA.
As mentioned in my original post , I have never had any luck with nvidia drivers but that is due to my inexperience I'm sure. Now that gnome is using xorg.conf less and less, I am less enthused about learning nuances.
Will post back if I have success, when have a chance to pursue this further.
Thank you again.
Re: ubuntu Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
Re: ubuntu Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
Re: ubuntu Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
The build failures are for the LPIA architecture (Intel Atom, netbooks). The build failed because there is no nvidia driver released for that architecture. The i386 and amd64 builds were successful.
Re: ubuntu Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
My problem solved by removing an old file that (tried) to invoke nvidia from /etc/modprobe that was preventing nvidia from loading.
removed that file and then
modprobe nvidia

Photo Flash: Van Sant's MILK Hollywood Premiere
Academy Award-nominated director Gus Van Sant's Milk, starring Academy Award winner Sean Penn as gay rights icon Harvey Milk, had its Hollywood premiere at the Academy Of Motion Pictures Arts And Sciences building in Beverly Hills, California.
Mr. Milk was an activist and politician, and the first openly gay man to be elected to major public office in America; in 1977, he was voted to the city supervisors' board of San Francisco, representing the Castro District.
From an original screenplay by Dustin Lance Black, Milk is produced by Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen, the Academy Award-winning producers of American Beauty, through The Jinks/Cohen Company. Groundswell Productions and Focus Features co-financed Milk, which is a Focus Features presentation in association with Axon Films of a Groundswell production and a Jinks/Cohen Company production. Executive producers of Milk are Groundswell CEO Michael London (an Academy Award nominee for Sideways), Mr. Black, Groundswell's Bruna Papandrea, Barbara Hall, and William Horberg.
Milk will be distributed worldwide by Focus; the film's domestic theatrical run commences on Wednesday, November 26th in select cities (including New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco) before expanding in December.
Groundswell Productions is an independent financing and production company formed by Michael London in February 2006 with a mission to create a thriving home for filmmakers with singular voices that reach broad audiences. The company's slate mixes films from established directors and emerging talent alongside comedies and genre films with an original sensibility. Since its inception, Groundswell has produced writer/director Tom McCarthy's The Visitor (a co-production with Participant Productions), starring Richard Jenkins and Hiam Abbass; Appaloosa, directed by Ed Harris, who starred in the film opposite Viggo Mortensen and Renée Zellweger; Noam Murro's Smart People, starring Dennis Quaid, Thomas Haden Church, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Ellen Page; Rawson Marshall Thurber's The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, based on the Michael Chabon novel and starring Sienna Miller, Peter Sarsgaard, and Jon Foster; Todd Louiso's The Marc Pease Experience (co-financed by Paramount Vantage), starring Jason Schwartzman, Anna Kendrick, and Ben Stiller; Andrew Jarecki's All Good Things, starring Ryan Gosling, Kirsten Dunst, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Frank Langella; and (co-financed with Participant Productions and Warner Bros.) Steven Soderbergh's The Informant, starring Matt Damon.
Focus Features (www.filminfocus.com) exists to produce, acquire and distribute original and daring films that challenge the mainstream to embrace and enjoy voices and visions from around the world that deliver global commercial success.
In addition to Milk, current and upcoming Focus Features releases include Joel and Ethan Coen's hit comedy thriller Burn After Reading, starring George Clooney, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, Richard Jenkins, and Brad Pitt; Henry
Selick's 3-D stop-motion animated feature Coraline, starring Dakota Fanning and Teri Hatcher; Shane Acker's animated fantasy epic 9, starring Elijah Wood and Jennifer Connelly; Cary Fukunaga's immigrant thriller Sin Nombre; writer/director Jim Jarmusch's new film, tentatively titled The Limits of Control, starring Isaach De Bankolé; a contemporary comedy directed by Academy Award winner Sam Mendes and starring John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph; Joel and Ethan Coen's A Serious Man; and Taking Woodstock, the new film from Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee.
Focus Features is part of NBC Universal, one of the world's leading media and entertainment companies in the development, production, and marketing of entertainment, news, and information to a global audience. Formed in May 2004 through the combining of NBC and Vivendi Universal Entertainment, NBC Universal owns and operates a valuable portfolio of news and entertainment networks, a premier motion picture company, significant television production operations, a leading television stations group, and world-renowned theme parks. NBC Universal is 80% owned by General Electric and 20% owned by Vivendi.

The University of Washington-Seattle has many scholarship opportunities available to incoming freshmen and transfer students as well as continuing students. We provided about $25 million in scholarships to about 3000 of our undergraduate students in the past year. These scholarships cover a wide scope of academic pursuits, musical and athletic talents as well as community service and research activities. Our scholarship programs are highly competitive as we have more talented students than we have scholarship funds. You'll want to explore the opportunities below and see if one is right for you!
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be received at the federal processor by February 28 to apply for the scholarships below.
No advance application is required for these awards except for the FAFSA. However, if you are considered for a scholarship, we may request additional information.
Academic Scholarships are awarded to a limited number of undergraduate students who are legal residents of Washington state. Approximately 900 awards from privately donated funds are given each year to students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and financial need. The funds come from private gifts to the university by individuals, groups or companies. The scholarship may be named for the donor or the person in whose memory the donation was made. Our office awards these scholarships each year to incoming freshmen and transfer students as well as continuing students. The typical scholarship is $4000 per year.
UW Undergraduate Academic Excellence Awards are awarded to a limited number of undergraduates each year, with tuition waiver awards up to $4000 per year. Students must be Washington residents and demonstrate financial need.
The Purple and Gold Scholarship is only for U.S. Students (U.S. citizens, permanent residents, refugees and undocumented residents) who are not residents of Washington state and who will attend the UW Seattle campus. It assumes that recipients are not, nor will become, residents of the state of Washington during the next four academic years. Selection, by the Office of Admissions, is predominately academic, but also incorporates activities, achievements, leadership and socio-economic factors. the 2014-15 Purple and Gold Scholarships ranged from $4000 to $9000 per year. The scholarship, which is not need-based, is renewable for four years as long as the recipient maintains good academic standing. For more details see https://admit.washington.edu/Paying/PurpleGold.
All admitted U.S. non-resident applicants are automatically considered for the Purple and Gold Scholarship based on their admission application. No other application, including the FAFSA is required. You will be notified by letter in mid-March from the Office of Admission if you are selected as a recipient.
The Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards works with students who are currently enrolled at the University of Washington. However, there is limited information available for prospective incoming students. If you are planning to attend the UW, you will want to familiarize yourself with this office and the resources offered.
The University also offers scholarship programs awarded through the Honors Department, Washington NASA Space Grant and many of our academic departments. Some of these scholarships are available to non-resident students or are not need-based and do not require filing the FAFSA. The UW Honors Program and the Washington NASA Space Grant Program do require an application to be admitted into their programs. Please visit the following sites for more information. If you don't see your academic department listed below, please check with that department directly for scholarship information. These scholarships may have different deadlines throughout the year.

We talked about looking ahead.
Well I sort of combined day 5's incoporate chain into a jewelry design with day 7's use a different metal. I don't use chain much so I used what I had on hand and as it happened it was in a metal I'd never used. So, I combined the 2 days.
Todays day 8- Have a Date with a Bead Friend...due to health issues I'll have to find something to substitute. But looking ahead to days 9 & 10 maybe I'll just combine all 3. I have and idea for a denim collar that is in my mother's sewing stash that I may snitch and do some bead embroidery on.
Oh, and I haven't forgotten about the pictures. But I think I'm gonna have to mug someone to get the Viking Knit bracelet picture taken. They've been wearing 24/7 since they snitched it. *L*
Hope you have fun with your beads today.
southwest Texas USA
SEllen, way to tailor the challenge to your needs! I can't wait to see that denim collar! You have me extremely curious as to what exactly that is. I love the whole mugging scenario... that makes me laugh. What a wonderful problem to have... to have somebody steal your work and never ever take it off! It must make you so happy to see your work so well loved. :0)
The best gift you can give anybody is to love yourself.
Ok so I'm really far behind on these challenges, but I did get in a quick repair job on a bracelet I made for my step-daughter. Turns out the lobster clasp was faulty, so I went in a completely different direction and attached a box clasp. I'm still waiting on split rings to fix my necklace. We'll see what else I can get done in the next couple of days. ;0)
I am way behind on the challenges as well. I have had a cold (or something) that has just wrung me out. I finally took a day off work yesterday because I had been coughing so much I had hardly slept for 2 days. I managed to get some sleep yesterday sitting in our recliner so I am back at work today (probably shouldn't be...). I did go through some new metal beads I bought a couple of weeks ago (at the bead show I overspent on) and pulled out some gunmetal - new metal for me - to try and make something. I have gotten as far as knowing it will be a bracelet and have a couple of possible other beads out to go with the gunmetal - but no final choice made yet. If I can stay awake long enough when I get home tonight I might make a decision.
Ricki - Sorry to hear you're under the weather. Be sure to take care of yourself. There is nothing in these challenges that is more important than you.
The last 3 days here have been wet and gloomy. So, I've not gotten much completed. But if I can find a energy burst sometime soon I can probably catch up quick.
Take care
I printed and put the directions for the Captured Crystal Cubes Earrings on my beading table right away--and I actually found time to do them--used 15s instead of 11s as my "cubes" were smaller-then found that 14mm rivolis worked great! i added dangles and love the sparkle! and they are green for St Patrick's day-
Wolfy, I think I'm more comfortable in this thread than in the reveal thread, so I'm just gonna start my posts here. So far I have lost the camera and found it again, lost the pictures (and not recovered anything yet), and seen RL up close and personal. I'll get things up as I can.
DAY 1: Make a pair of earrings.
This is the same poor picture that I didn't want to post two weeks ago, but it's all I have now. The earring seemed too simple, but I wanted to use the little enameled turtles that had been hanging around forever. Silver-plated ear posts, green crystal bicones, and the aforementioned turtles. I took them with me to visit a family friend who likes to see what I make. Her sister liked the earrings so much that she asked to buy them. I gave them to her and never got to make another picture. Oops!
Day 2: Use Up Some Bead Leftovers
I've been working on this concept for a while. I have more beads than I can use and not enough room to store them. I have been destashing in various ways, including donating some of the older items (mostly acrylic, some wood) in my stash to youth groups. I still have many containers to go through, most of them inherited from my father, who found a lot of his beads at garage sales. In the current piece, I located some pretty "turquoise" beads that must have been left over from one of his creations. I had just begun to be interested in book thongs, had made a couple using leather, mistakenly purchased some 20 lb. Fireline--and put all of this serendipity together to use up those last four beads.
I used three strands of the heavy Fireline and braided them to make a somewhat thicker thong for the book. Oddly enough, even though the whole thing seems fairly insubstantial, it's better for the book than the much thicker leather thong. Here's the book thong in action.
Day 3: Learn a New Beading Technique
This month is seriously slamming me with RL, so I haven't had time to take my class or dig out some of the new things that I wanted to try. Indeed, while I intend to continue slogging on through the challenge, I am probably going to extend it well into April just to get to the parts I even want to do. That being said, I am posting these earrings as my "new technique." This is a Denise Peck creation from the October/November 2010 issue of Step-by-Step Wire Jewelry via Kristal Wick's blog entry for September 20, 2010. I kept meaning to make them and only recently got buttons, wire, and gumption together in the same room.
The earrings are indeed simple to make. I used 20 gauge wire, however, and find it too large for my ears. I am going to make more using some 22 gauge wire and see what happens.
Day 11: Make a Beaded Gift
I have given away a book mark, a pair of earrings, and a necklace this month. In addition, I made this earring and necklace set for #2MIL's birthday and presented it to her (only 3 days late) on my recent visit. Sadly, my camera was missing at the time, so this picture comes from my cell phone.
As usual, the cellphone (and lighting) do nothing for the necklace. The beads are size 6 seeds, amber in color with a teal lining. They come from a mix called "New Leaves" that I picked up at Hobby Lobby. These particular beads bothered me, so I took them out of the mix and used them separately. I was quite happy with how they looked without the other beads in the mix. I also used a gold-colored triangle seed bead as the spacer; the triangles were salvaged from an earlier work that just didn't . . . work. Actually, this necklace could suffice for the challenge on a number of days, so I will probably reference it when I get to those parts of the challenge.
Now I need to find the missing USB cord.
I am so far behind this month I'll need at least another month. I am going to try and take some pictures this weekend of the things I did manage to get done, but won't be able to post since our computer is pretty well dead. But at least I'll have pictures.
I did earrings day 1, used leftover beads day 2, did some organizing day 4, used chain in a piece day 5, used gunmetal (new metal for me) in a bracelet (supposed to be day 7 but I did it last night). I did have a date with a bead friend - was supposed to be day 8 but I think I did it on the 3rd, and I have started to repair a broken piece of jewelry (supposed to be day 12 - who knows when it will actually get finished). I still intend to do more of the challenges...eventually.
My main focus right now is to make something to donate to a silent auction at a fundraiser that happens in 3 weeks...might take me that long to decide what to make. I went through pieces I have already in my completed items (for upcoming craft shows) and may choose one of them, but I am really leaning towards making something new. As far as I know so far I am the only person with a jewelry item on the donation list and I really want to make something special that will bring a good price - makes me wish I were a better jewelry maker...who me feeling pressure??? The fundraiser is to raise much needed money for repairs at a historic chapel (built in 1844) that my husband and I are involved with. It sits just above a creek and with all of the rain we have had this fall / winter, the creekbank is eroding and is taking the chapel driveway with it down the slope into the creek. In order to have a retaining wall built to shore up the bank, replace the driveway and have the power lines replaced under ground (since the pole with the power lines is slipping down the bank as well) is going to cost something in the range of $50,000...we have raised $14,000 so far. We are hoping to get money from the local township and have applied for a couple of grants + the wine tasting fundraiser coming up...and it's raining again today...more erosion YIKES!!
I'll keep you posted on what I finally come up with for my donation.
Ayer Baubles
That's the spirit, Ricki! Take this challenge on your own terms!
The fundraiser donation would count for Day 11, I'm thinking. I hope your silent auction goes really well and raises a lot of money for the chapel's preservation. I'm sure you'll make something wonderful--and I can't wait to see it.
This may be the sound of one hand clapping, but I am finally able to return to posting my progress on the challenge that ended 6 weeks ago. It may take me 6 weeks to finish and/or post everything, but I committed to doing the challenge--now I want to wrap it up (more or less). I expect that several parts of the challenge will be out of "order." Meh.
Day 4: Organize Your Bead Area
Actually, I've been working on this one for weeks now. The whole "area" is a small room in the house I grew up in, my bedroom for a while when I was in elementary school. We call it The Bead Room since that's what my late father called it when he made jewelry in here, surrounded by old TVs and their parts, tools for his truck, a whole pile of CB radios, a lot of junk, and one corner dedicated to beading. Now that I am staying with my mother to take care of her, the room is once more mine, but this time all for beading--as long as I keep pushing to make the space mine and functional.
My project for Day 4 was to clear up the work table on which several computers had come to rest and which had become a magnet for mess (not the only one in this room, sadly). Here is one of several "before" shots that I made.
This particular shot already shows the bones of changes that I had been trying to make, with book cases on the table (a salvaged solid core door placed on top of two small filing cabinets). The picture shows only two computers, but there were 4 in the room at the time. Once I got rid of one of them (reconditioned for a cousin) and the huge monitor that took up a corner of the table, it was a matter of clearing off the mess and trying to make the space usable for a layout table. Here's the result.
The two computers that are left will have to remain, at least until I complete some scanning projects. When I work with the scanner, the monitor and other accessories for the far computer come down to the table. They are not pretty in their current position, but they are at least out of the way. I am out of solutions for all the wires. The top of the shelves needs more work, but I decided that it will have to do for this challenge.
The shelves hold some tools that are not in active use as well as a few books (sadly unsorted) and some containers of loose beads roughly sorted by colors. The little drawers and some pencil boxes on the right hold seed beads.
I have purchased some nappy material to cut for a layout surface, but I have yet to cut or hem it. I am using a towel right now. My first work on the "new" layout table has been to pull strands of beads from their temporary storage in plastic tubs to get them sorted into more usable storage. What a joy to have the space to do this now!
There are three other "areas" in the bead room which are also undergoing some reorganization. Then there are all the areas under the tables. I still have quite a bit to do. WIP, I guess.
You've really made some great progress!
For the wires, you can hide them with cardboard tubes. Cut a slit in one side of the tube, and then slip it over a group of wires.
The Cat's Meow Blog
My RebelMouse page and Etsy shop
I suspect that this challenge meant to encourage us to learn a new stitch or something, but I don't really stitch. I had to come up with something appropriate to stringing or wire work. It actually took me a couple of months to get things organized to the point where I had both a mama sitter and a class that fit my needs. The class was actually a private class--just me and the instructor, Holly Gardner--taken at Bead Boutique in Webster, TX, that I took just this week. I came with a laundry list of things I wanted to double check and new stuff to learn. Holly was patient and encouraging throughout the session; best of all she was willing to learn with me when I threw new problems at her.
We did a lot of remedial wire work and, we agreed, got me ready for the intermediate class that has been my goal for a couple of years. One new thing that I learned working with Holly was how to use wire guards. She is recommending crimp beads (as opposed to crimp tubes) plus wire guards (which can also be crimped) for a cleaner look and more secure fastening. I brought a UFO with me to the class, and I think it was well finished with the wire guards.
I also have a little more confidence with the jeweler's saw (we'll see how that plays out pretty soon), have recommitted myself to banning gaps from my wrapped loops, and have a better feel for wrapping rocks. Holly took this picture of my poor aching hands while I tried to get control of a wire wrap.
A successful wrap lurks in the lower left. I was very pleased to learn a loop technique to hold everything together, to be able to focus on wire (not bling) in wrapping my goodies. The proof of the pudding, of course, will be whether I can finish the rock shown in the picture, since class time ran out before I could complete it.
Good for you that you haven't let the challenge get the best of you.
I would love to have your "bead room" I only have a small corner in my bedroom to work from. However, of late I have started using a card table set up in our living room.
And your wrapping looks pretty good form what I can see. I hope you will post a picture of the completed pieces.
Have a great week end.

A sunset to take your breath away
- Intro
A sunset to take your breath away
The skies off San Diego County turned purple, red and orange on Dec. 11th when the setting sun reflected off stratocumulus clouds drifting to the northeast.

No umbrella needed
The beautiful sunset began to take shape with stratocumulus clouds that produced virga, rain that falls but doesn't reach the surface.

A beautiful spread
The clouds spread out, giving the sun a broader canvas.

Hide and seek
The clouds briefly muted the sunlight, although it still looked electrifying.

Breaking through
The sun found a clearing as it sank lower in the west.

Waves of beauty

SANTA MONICA, California — A Southern California city's decision to ban winter displays in a public park did not violate the free speech rights of Nativity scene supporters, a federal appeals court ruled on Thursday.
The decision by a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling that dismissed a lawsuit against Santa Monica's ban of unattended winter displays in Palisades Park by the Santa Monica Nativity Scenes Committee.
The appeals court said Santa Monica had several secular reasons to stop allowing those displays, including improving the aesthetics of the park and alleviating administrative burdens on the city, and did not target the Nativity scene displays.
"By repealing its Winter Display exception, the City did no more than treat all potential displays equally," Circuit Judge Jay Bybee wrote.
The appeals court also rejected the committee's claim that the city's decision conveyed a message that it disapproved of Christianity.
Bill Becker, the committee's attorney, said the decision was expected, and he did not plan to appeal.
"We are disappointed," he said. "We believe Christians are being targeted. There's a great deal of intolerance for Christians in society today."
The Nativity scene displays were erected for nearly six decades in Palisades Park, until debates in recent years grew more heated, resulting in atheists erecting their own, sometimes satirical, displays.
City officials instituted a lottery for display space as competition increased, but city staff members complained that administering the lottery system was consuming significant time, according to the 9th Circuit.
Becker had argued that the city banned winter displays in reaction to the atheists' objections to the committee's Nativity scenes and thus illegally suppressed the committee's free speech rights.
But the 9th Circuit said the city did not ban just religious displays, but adopted a general "evenhanded regulation" against all winter displays.

Suitable for Two 2 Watt led lights in parallel?
Monday, November 19, 2012 7:49 PM ReplyI bought two Aurora 12V G4 Unidirectional Capsule LED Bulbs from amazon a long time ago, I think they are two watts each since they describe them as "20W equivalent". Could I use this driver to drive one or two in parallel (one light switch for each). It is not clear to me how what output current goes to these types of led lamps or how you calculate such things. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Tuesday, November 20, 2012 4:48 AM ReplyIt's a G4 10-30V AC/DC LED Light Module. That's as specific as I can find. I'm assuming you wanted more.
Assuming it is designed as a two watt led bulb and they suggest driving it with 12 volts. Would I be overdriving the led using this driver? Should I really want a constant current driver which outputs 166 milliamperes? But the specs says it can handle up to 30 volts. Since it can handle ac I'm also assuming the leds has some regulatory capabilities of its own.
I originally used a 12v 15 Watts dc supply but i feared it wasn't really designed for 2 watt use (which is the minimum).
Tuesday, November 20, 2012 3:00 PM ReplyBecause it can run from AC and DC and has a wide input voltage range it must have some sort of driver built in. That means you should drive it from a constant voltage power supply (for example a 12V DC 15W power supply).
Do not drive it from a constant current driver like this item. This driver is for powering LEDs, not light bulbs.
Contacting the supplier of this item to ask about how best to power someone else's light bulbs doesn't seem quite the right approach.DX's Affiliate Program is broken again.

2009 ... The Rankings
CFN's Ranking of the 2009 Classes -
The Bottom 30
CFN Recruiting 2009
CFN 2009 Recruiting Rankings
No. 1 to 30 |
No. 31 to 60 |
No. 61 to 90
91. Northern Illinois
The class is heavy on ... The passing game. Head coach Jerry Kill
got a full recruiting season to work, and he brought in some playmakers
to beef up a passing attack that struggled last year. Quarterbacks A.J.
Hill and Jordan Lynch are strong prospects, and while there aren't any
receiver standouts, there are a lot of them and they can move.
92. Syracuse
The class is heavy on ... defensive backs. Understanding the need
to address a secondary that was last in the Big East in pass efficiency
defense, the staff loaded up on defensive backs. In fact, almost half of
the entire class was either a safety or a cornerback. The best of the
lot are corners Torian Phillips, Phillip Thomas, and Dale Peterman,
who'll all have a shot for immediate playing time.
93. Ball State
The class is heavy on ... Skill players and linebackers. The
defense got three interesting linebackers for the inside, led by Jacob
Green, while the outside was addressed with a few players. It's strength
in numbers time for the offense with several running backs and receivers
to go along with QB Aaron Mershman. RB Eric Williams is the best
prospect of the bunch.
94. Miami University
The class is heavy on ... Bodies. This is a big class full of a
variety of prospects that don't necessarily fit a type, and with a
program that fell off the map with one of the most disappointing,
disastrous seasons of any team in America, it's rebuilding time. The
idea will be to use this class to build towards the future; don't expect
a whole bunch of help right away.
95. Memphis
The class is heavy on ... offensive linemen. Faced with some
turnover in the trenches, Tommy West aimed to keep the area replenished
by inking five linemen no smaller than 6-4 and 275 pounds. Of the group,
G Ricky Hart really has Tiger fans excited. A 6-3, 315-pound drive
blocker, who was pursued by the ACC and SEC, he'll likely spend just one
year as a backup before moving into the starting lineup.
The class is heavy on ... safeties. Of the 24 new Blazers signed
by Neil Callaway, a big portion is projected as safeties once they
arrive in Birmingham. That's not such a bad thing, considering last
year's starters, Will Dunbar and Matt Taylor, were seniors. The two
junior-college transfers, Hiram Atwater and Elliott McGaskin, should be
ready to compete right away, and David Conner was good enough to get
mail from Auburn, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State.
97. San Jose State
The class is heavy on ... 2010. With one of the smallest
recruiting classes in the country, next year will be all about bringing
in the bodies. There might not be many players coming in from this
class, but there are some good ones with JUCO transfer Lamon Muldrow
ready to be one of the main running backs right away, while the
pitch-catch combination of Dasmen Stewart to James Orth looking to be
rolling in a few years.
The class is heavy on ... Defensive back. This was a decent class
all the way around, but the major focus was on stopping the pass with
some good defensive ends in Joshua Forney and Thatcher Starling, and
several defensive backs with decent speed, and surprisingly, a lot of
size. Terrance Taylor was a nice pickup at safety while Wayne Times is a
good-looking corner prospect.
99. Middle Tennessee
The class is heavy on ... Skill players. There's a sprinkling of
new recruits here and there, but the stars are at the skills with QB
Jamal Ramsey one of the league's best prospects and running backs David
Jones and William Pratcher each good enough to change around the woeful
running game. The receivers have size and speed, but they're extremely
The class is heavy on ... defensive linemen. In an attempt to
beef up one of the perennially weakest defenses in the country, the
Miners are bringing in a couple of speedy rush ends and a tackle with
considerable upside. At 6-5 and 250 pounds, Adam Ayala can snap off a
sub-5.00 in the forty. If he can add some muscle without losing a step,
he has a chance to be an impact player on this defense.
101. Florida Atlantic
The class is heavy on ... Cornerback. By far the best prospects
of this year's class are in the secondary where De'Andre Richardson and
Keith Reaser are two really fast, really good corners who should be
fixtures in the FAU defensive backfield for years. Winfred Strickland
and Treon Howard aren't as fast or as good, but they should provide
decent depth down the road.
102. Marshall
The class is heavy on ... wide receivers. The Herd has loaded up
on a bunch of big, physical wide receivers that other schools felt were
a little unpolished at this stage of their careers. A collection of
athletes who all go at least 6-2, most are expected to do an
apprenticeship in 2009 before being turned loose. A local kid, C.J.
Crawford is both big and very fast. Wayne Bonner, on the other hand,
comes via East Mississippi Junior College, and is most likely to chip in
right away.
103. Colorado State
The class is heavy on ... Quarterbacks. Billy Farris is gone
opening up a hole at quarterback, and while there are options in Grant
Stucker and Klay Kubiak waiting to step in, JUCO transfer Jon Eastman
will be in the mix right away, Nico Ranieri might be the most talented
player of the bunch, but the new recruit might have to wait around for a
few years before getting his shot.
104. Utah State
The class is heavy on ... JUCO. New head coach Gary Andersen is
looking to make an impact early on, and he needed more bodies to do it.
While the incoming junior college players will mostly be used for depth,
the program needed players to push for spots and to provide more
competition. OT Christian Browne-Frazier and LB Reuben Willis will do
105. Wyoming
The class is heavy on ... Quarterbacks. The rest of the class is
mediocre, at generous best, but the quarterback recruits might be the
best in the Mountain West. Austyn Carta-Samuels isn't big, he isn't
fast, but he's a player who could be the franchise sooner than later.
For now, considering the woes at quarterback last season, the signing of
JUCO transfer Robert Benjamin is a nod toward the present.
106. Nevada
The class is heavy on ... Quarterbacks. With Colin Kaepernick set
to be the franchise for the next few years, Nevada's two new passers,
Mason Magelby and David Fales, will get plenty of time to develop.
However, JUCO transfer Maurice Patterson is a good-looking receiver
who'll get Kaepernick throwing to him this year.
107. Kent State
The class is heavy on ... Wide receivers. There aren't a lot of
them, but a team that has been so reliant on the running game got a few
decent targets to help the passing attack. Is Tyshon Goode a running
back or a receiver? It doesn't matter; he's the best incoming playmaker
who could make an impact right away in a variety of ways. The defensive
line was all but ignored.
108. Navy
The class is heavy on ... quarterbacks and running backs. This
was a huge class for Navy loaded with linebackers, receivers, and mostly
players for the backfield. There are four quarterback prospects and all
of them can move. Kenneth Cluley fits the mold, while Jarvis Cummings is
even faster. At least two of the signal callers will move to another
spot. Also coming in are seven running backs, and outside of Matt
Warrick, they're all smallish and quick. There isn't a thumping fullback
in the group.
109. Toledo
The class is heavy on ... Defensive backs. There are several
decent incoming defensive ends/linebackers, and the passing game got a
boost for the future, but it's the secondary that got the most help with
four corner prospects, led by the lightning fast Byron Best, and safety
Jermaine Robinson, who might be ready to play right away.
110. Army
The class is heavy on ... receivers. The program went from being
all about running, and then it became about throwing the ball, and then
it tried to be Navy. Now the team needs players to fit the system, which
will be an option running attack that still throws the ball, and while
plenty of running backs were brought in, the team needed pass catchers.
Five wide receivers were signed with Scott Williams, a speedster out of
southern California, a potential field stretcher.
111. Akron
The class is heavy on ... Wide receivers. The immediate help is
at cornerback, but the bulk is at receiver. There aren't any five-star,
sure-thing prospects, but there are a lot of them with various types and
sizes. New QB Patrick Nicely, a passer, will have targets to work with
once he becomes part of the mix in three years.
112. Ohio
The class is heavy on ...
Hope for last year's class.
Last year's class was about boosting up the passing game, and this
year's group is really, really light in all areas. There weren't a lot
of openings, so the staff went heavy on a few stars. Jon Lechner could
be a special offensive tackle, while LB Dylan Reda should be a good one.
113. Eastern Michigan
The class is heavy on ... Defensive line. The last few classes
have addressed the offense with a bulk of prospects coming in, and this
year's smallish class got a little bit of help on the ends. Melvin Crews
is more of a tweener and Devon Davis should be moved to linebacker early
on until he hits the weights, but Orlando McCord could grow into a
player early on.
114. Idaho
The class is heavy on ... Variety. What do you get for the team
that needs everything? The class is spread out over all the positions
with enough JUCO players here and there to provide a few more options,
while the top position might be linebacker with Jared Heston and Conrad
Scheidt arguably the team's best recruits. The junior college players
help boost this class, only because the team needs players. CB Kevin
Williams and WR Michael Lindsey will almost certainly play right away.
115. Buffalo
The class is heavy on ... Offensive line. The small class didn't
get much in the way of bulk talent, but a few decent offensive linemen,
especially at guard, are coming in to build for the future. There aren't
a lot of holes to fill right away with depth already built in from the
last two classes, and this class showed it.
116. Arkansas State
The class is heavy on ... Receivers. QB Phillip Butterfield is
the star of the show here, and he'll have plenty of targets to work with
including Carlos McCants, a smallish, quick receiver who should be a
number one target at some point. JUCO transfer Lucious Henderson is for
right now. The defense was almost completely ignored.
117. Air Force
The class is heavy on ... Defense. As always, Air Force had to
get a specific type of player, and as always, it went with smallish,
quick defenders for the line and the secondary. Dan Zotto leads the way
up front, while head coach Troy Calhoun brought in a few short, athletic
corners. James Chambers could be a fixture at inside linebacker sooner
than later.
118. North Texas
The class is heavy on ... Receivers. If you're going to run the
offense head coach Todd Dodge wants to run, you need targets. The Mean
Green passing game got an influx of receivers with two JUCO transfers
for right now in Jamaal Jackson and Mike Outlaw, while freshman Daniel
Mayberry might be the most talented of the lot.
119. UL Lafayette
The class is heavy on ... Defensive line. The receiving corps is
also a strength, but the stars are on the defensive front with two JUCO
transfers, Tyrell Gaddies for the middle and Jordan Topp for inside or
out. Two of the team's best recruits are for the future with Brandon
McCray a top tackle and Justin Anderson an interesting tweener who could
end up at linebacker or in a hybrid role.
120. New Mexico State
The class is heavy on ... Defensive tackle. New head coach
DeWayne Walker is a defensive coach by trade and he wanted to start off
his era by improving the interior of the defense … now. Three JUCO
transfers are coming in, John Finau, D'Juan Yates, and Vincent Federico,
and they're all expected to make an impact. Walker was also able to get
two JUCO receivers, William Bullock and Marcus Allen, who would've been
big-time producers in the Hal Mumme era.

Spartan Living: Back to the early days of OIF
Tallil and Cedar are both throwbacks to the early days of OIF. There is a mix of hard buildings abandoned by the Iraqi military which have been renovated, trailers fondly called CHUs (Contanerized Housing Units), and tents. I have slept in all three and a bunker while at these two camps.
You really get to know you neighbors! You can hear them, see their nakedness in the common latrines and smell them after a long hard day. It takes patience and tolerance to live in these environs.

Wormhole Station connects Windows to Mac to Android to iOS
January 9, 2012
The PC and Mac advocates have been debating for years over which is superior, with good arguments on both sides; but a third, often overlooked camp exists: people who use both. If you're in that group, then you know how frustrating it can be to have the perks of both machines, but the downside of few easy options for sharing files or peripherals between the two. That's why tech manufacturer j5create has rolled out the Wormhole Switch and the Wormhole Station, which allow file transfers between PC, Mac, Android, and iOS, as well as keyboard and mouse sharing.
The Wormhole Switch may look like a simple USB cord, but actually allows files to be transferred between almost any computer or smart device at USB 2.0 speeds without the need for any extra software. It's as easy as dragging one file to another folder, and can even be used to share a keyboard, mouse, etc. between computers with different operating systems. There are a handful of different models with different functionality:
However the newest product from j5create and a CES 2012 Innovations Award Honoree is the Wormhole Station, which acts as a docking extension for any laptop by using a single USB port. Like the Wormhole Switch, the Station can easily transfer files and share peripherals between Mac, PC, Android, and iOS devices. Sharing a mouse even permits the cursor to pass back and forth between the monitors of separate computers. The compact attachment includes two USB 3.0 ports, which allow for data transfers at a rate of 5Gb/s, as well as slots for various flash memory cards. It's design also elevates a laptop connected to it, allowing for cooler airflow.
The Wormhole Station is available at retailers now for US$109.99.
Great device but can\'t see how it will sit if the laptop has its USB ports on the side. Anyone tried typing on a left-sloped keyboard?agulesin
But they don\'t have one that does it ALL. I have PC, Mac and Android so none of the above can do the job.Gregg Eshelman
agulesin, The device doesn\'t connect directly to the ports. It attaches with a cable. It just sits underneath the back of the laptop to tilt it upward. Think about it. Considering how every model of laptop has a different port arrangement, how could this attach directly to more than one model?Gadgeteer
The more I read, the less intrigued I became.
I\'ll pass.yrag
Agreed--there's just no reason for this thing to cost $100. I don't need keyboard- or mouse-sharing; just give me a $25 device that will allow me to transfer files between my Windows 7 laptop and Android handsets/iOS devices/HFS+ drives.patronanejo

TIRUCHI: State Government has approved the creation of a new office of the Deputy Transport Commissioner at Thanjavur by bifurcating the Tiruchi zone office.
At present, Deputy Transport Commissioner, Tiruchi zone, has control over the Regional Transport Offices (RTO) at Tiruchi, Srirangam, Karur, Pudukottai, Perambalur, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam besides six offices of the Motor Vehicle Inspector (MVI) situated in various districts in the Central Region.
The RTOs at Pudukottai, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam districts and the MVI offices at Pattukottai, Mannargudi and Mayiladuthurai would fall under the Thanjavur zone.
The office of the MVI at Kumbakonam which is to be upgraded as a full-fledged RTO shortly and the new MVI office at Aranthangi in Pudukottai district will also come under the Deputy Transport Commissioner, Thanjavur zone. The creation of a new Deputy Transport Commissioner office at Thanjavur by bifurcating the Tiruchi zone is to facilitate quicker administrative works, Transport Department authorities told The Hindu here. Owing to the bifurcation, the Tiruchi zone will have under its limit the RTOs at Tiruchi, Srirangam, Karur, Perambalur and the new RTO to be opened at Ariyalur besides the MVI offices in Manapparai, Tiruverambur and Kulithalai in future.

Since last summer's unfortunate tragedy involving a PRP football player's death after a hot day of practice, much attention has been given to the issue of player safety.
This new focus can certainly lead to some positive changes and renewed emphasis that could prevent future injuries and deaths from occurring, but it's also a situation that could tempt otherwise well-meaning people to diminish the values that sometimes can only be learned through the sweat of a practice field.
Forty-five Kentucky high school students from 21 counties across the region were recently on the campus of Pikeville College to participate in the annual Professional Education Preparation Program (PEPP) that is offered by Pikeville College School of Osteopathic Medicine (PCSOM). This two-week residential program provides high school students from the region with an opportunity to learn about the medical profession. More than 550 students have participated in the college's program since its inception in 1999.
I am writing to express my opinion of the Spencer County youth football program.
At the ages of 5 to 7, with both boys and girls playing, I believe that the game should be about teaching the children sportsmanship, football fundamentals and the kids generally having a good time
I guess I am wrong.
The head coach of the Mighty Mites stated at the first practice that not all the kids will get a chance to play. He stressed winning over all else.
A Little Union home was destroyed Thursday morning in an apparent electrical fire that started in the kitchen.
Chief Nathan Nation, of the Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Department, said that over 40 percent of the mobile home received heavy fire damage. Flames quickly spread from the point of origin in the kitchen, to the living room and covered porch. The rest of the structure suffered from the effects of smoke and heat.
An ancient Indonesian parable tells about a turtle that flew through the air by biting hard on a stick that was carried by two geese. The turtle was thrilled to take flight but was bothered by comments from onlookers. Those who viewed the spectacle praised the geese for being so clever. The turtle felt he was the one who deserved attention and praise and so he opened his mouth and shouted, "This was my idea." I'm sure he learned his lesson.
Corn needs what most other summer crops need: good soil and drainage, adequate nutrients and temperatures above 60 degrees for germination and growth. Corn is actually a heavy feeder so healthy soil with some side dressing is a good idea to maximize the quality of harvest. Water needs are not excessive but irrigation (if it doesn't come naturally) when the stalks begin to flower will promote larger ear development. The rest relies on cross pollination. Corn flowers and begins to shed its pollen several days before the silks actually emerge.
Some Christians do not believe in backsliding but I am one who does.
I looked up backslide in the dictionary. The meaning was to slide back into wrongdoing; gradually return to old habits, or practices; especially ones forbidden by a church or by authority; relapse. So far none of the reformed drinkers has backslid.

In his heyday, Jude Law was one of the most sought after men in Hollywood.
Jude Law doesn't look quite the same these days. Copyright [Wenn]
However, as time has gone by, Jude's looks aren't quite what they used to be anymore.
And it seems that the man himself is more than aware of this fact.
Talking to T magazine, Jude Law admitted that he feels relieved not to be the centre of attention because of his looks.
He explained: "In a weird way, it's kind of a relief to think, 'Oh, I know I'm not that young sort of pretty thing anymore.'"
Well that's a rather honest way of looking at things.
[Related article: Keira Knightley talks annoying Jude Law]
[Related article: Jude Law pulls his best omg! face]
Jude also admitted that he is happy that he can say that there was a point in his life when he was a pin up.
He admitted: "It's quite nice talking about what it was like to be the young pretty thing, rather than being it."
Jude in his heyday. Copyright [Wenn]
With the press no longer focused on his looks or his love life, Jude Law revealed that he feels more confident within himself and as an actor.
He said: "Without sounding too pretentious, it's difficult to remember that it's an art form and you are, maybe, an artist and you have to make decisions on that level.
"I feel kind of more confident, more settled as a human being, more settled in my own skin... [When you're older] you are allowed to be an actor, and the parts you get are more interesting."


text: Yes, it was a nice thought. The process derailed in a complicated mess, although not acrimonious. One of the biggest snags was figuring out how to solicit and select the images for the book. At no affordable price point could we produce a volume that would be democratic and representative of the APUG membership, so the question of how to curate/jury the book became central, with no conclusive decision ever reached. At this point in time, if someone wants to take this on as a project, I say more power to them. Just privately contact the photographers you want to have represented in the book to submit images, produce it and market it here. IF you want to associate it with APUG, talk to Sean and get his blessing to use the APUG name in marketing. But at the price point most folks here on APUG indicated they'd be willing to pay, self-publishing would lead to a very slim volume.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

The Angel's Smile .1~The Angel's SmileThe Angel's Smile .1 by Atlas-White
Part 1
Optimus Prime smiled sadly as he looked down at the yellow sparkling before him, his spark full of love. Sitting in a plain metal chair by the tiny creatures berth, he kept careful watch over him, ready to react to even the smallest sound or movement. He slowly reached out and gently stroked the side of the protoforms helm with the back of a single digit.
The child had been found, abandoned, in the eastern sector of Iacon, left to fend for himself. Another unwanted protoform sparked and then abandoned because of the energon shortage Every case like this was a tragedy that caused Optimus Primes spark to ache, especially when so many of these protoforms, unable to care for themselves, soon went offline from starvation and the elements.
This one had been lucky. Even though he was sickly and had had to have medics attending to him constantly since his discovery, and even though he was, even now, st
|Well, quite simply, it's a group to celebrate all types of familial love within Transformers!
What is allowed:
- Any type of familial bonding: between siblings, cousins, whatever. The main focus of this group, however, is meant to be between parent and child.
- OC children are allowed. However, OC siblings for canon characters and OC/canon relationships are not allowed.
- Close friendships are as good as family, so those are allowed as well.
- A depiction of two characters who aren't related in canon as relatives would also be allowed.
- Note that while I personally don't mind incest, it's not allowed here. Take it to TF-Twincest or TF-Pairings-Club please.
