We spent an another AMAZING week at the Hill Country Haven last week. We got engaged at the farmhouse last summer. We could think of nowhere more perfect to hold the wedding, so we had a small intimate wedding the first weekend in October. We absolutely love our time at the farmhouse, and now it's even more special to us. Loren and Denise went above and beyond to make our event special and we will be forever thankful to them for providing this location and for their loving hospitality.
We just returned from a little get away to Wisconsin as a family. This farmhouse was one of the best parts of our trip! The reviews and the pictures online were accurate. The owners were so sweet and friendly as they made sure everything was taken care of and said to be sure to let them know if we needed anything. Very clean little place and the new bedroom addition was very nice...we brought a blowup bed to use in that room for extra sleeping as the room was very spacious. It was a beautiful scenic drive to get there and its location was perfectly serene. In the evening we sat out back enjoying a bonfire, listening to the clip clop of several Amish buggies as they drove past. Our teenagers loved exploring the mowed down trails behind the farmhouse and we all went for walks down the country roads. This property did not disappoint...it was nice to unwind and have the teens put their social media aside for a little while. If you are looking for relaxation...then this is the perfect place!!
My husband and I were looking for a nice, quite place in the country, which was pet-friendly, where we could take our dogs so they could enjoy some wide open spaces to run and explore and we definitely found a gem in the Hill Country Haven. The farmhouse was adorable, comfortable, perfectly appointed, and beautifully maintained. The house is perched in the rolling hills and farmland...just beautiful! Once our city dogs got used to the sights and sounds of the countryside (mainly Amish Buggies and Horses and a HUGE un-fenced yard), they loved running around the neatly mowed grounds and taking hikes on the mowed trails behind the house. I loved sitting outside and listening to the birds and the breeze through the trees...it was so nice not even hearing the highway in the distance. Only the occasional car or Amish buggy/wagon would pass by. We didn't have cellphone service or WiFi at the house or even for miles around (we have AT&T), but that makes the Hill Country Haven all the more perfect...it was so nice "unplugging" for a couple of days.
The best part was meeting Denise and Loren and learning about the house and property. Unfortunately during our stay, we discovered that the refrigerator had gone out and Denise and Loren went all the way to Baraboo on the 4th of July to get a replacement! So not necessary, but greatly appreciated. While Loren installed the new fridge, it was great hearing stories about the house and family that have owned the farm for over a century.
I was really sad to come home today and I think our doggies were too. Thank you both so much for the wonderful hospitality and sharing your historic homestead with us! We can't wait to come back...we are already planning on trying to come back for at least 1 long weekend a year. Take care and we hope to see you again soon!
(we were actually here in April or March 2013 but it's been so long that the system won't let me put that)
Had a lovely time here with our two small dogs (we're a couple in our 20's from a larger city)! We went hiking with the dogs at Wildcat Mountain State Park and had a meal at the Hillsboro brewery. Owners were very nice and accommodating. Home is very cute, and the kitchen has everything you could need. The outside area is nice too. Had a great time here.
A fantastic retreat in a beautiful setting. Incredibly clean and welcoming. Everything you need and more. The grounds are beautiful and a terrific way to unwind strolling their many mowed trails. Not too far from Wildcat Mountain State Park and Kickapoo River Reserve both with great hiking. Highly recommended.
We loved our stay. Very relaxing and enjoyable. We loved being around the Amish community. Great location for those wanting to get away from it all for a while. The home is cozy, comfortable, and felt like home. Our dog loved running around and exploring the property with us. The bedroom is gorgeous. The owners were kind and accommodating.

Primary and secondary systems
Ever since the first school opened in New Amsterdam in the 1630s, New York has sought fine schools, but until after the American Revolution education was largely handled by tutors. Public funds for education became available after 1795, and in Manhattan a Free School Society was formed to disperse the state money. The growing numbers of New York Roman Catholics were distressed by what they interpreted to be Protestant indoctrination within the school system. In the 1840s Archbishop John Hughes was instrumental in establishing a Catholic parochial school system, which has continued to offer an alternative to public education. Neither system ever achieved universal attendance during the 19th century, however, for not until 1874 was a compulsory attendance law for the primary grades enacted; new immigration subsequently overloaded all city schools. After consolidation, Greater New York launched a massive public building program to provide schools where a half-million eligible students could be educated each year. Secondary education was not even offered to its children until the late 19th century, but by 1920 massive construction made primary education, along with both ordinary and specialized high schools, available for everyone. Several New York high schools—Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, Brooklyn Tech, and Performing Arts—have retained national reputations for excellence, and the school system has also provided evening classes in adult education and practical skills for the city's large immigrant population.
In the late 1990s New York administered the nation's largest public school system; more than one million students attend in excess of a thousand public schools. Unionization of city teachers began in 1916; the American Federation of Teachers is now the bargaining agent for the present-day staff. In the last decades of the 20th century, education became a sphere of unending controversy. The postwar white exodus to suburbia drained students from public schools and transformed them into minority-dominated institutions most of whose instructors were white and Jewish. During the 1960s a series of strikes and ugly racial confrontations caused disorder in the city, and in 1969 the state legislature divided the city into 32 districts. Henceforth primary education was to be controlled by elected governing boards so that educational goals could be established by local communities. Each board would select its superintendent, but resources would still be allocated by a chancellor of the entire school system, who was named by a mayor-dominated Board of Education.
The unwieldy system worked only sporadically, and by the 1990s its failures were apparent. In some districts, allies of the teachers' union dominated elections that were largely ignored by voters. In others, coalitions of minority residents installed poor administrators who made the schools vehicles for patronage and corruption. Wage levels declined relative to those of suburban systems, racial segregation in schools caused by housing patterns and economic stratification increased, and many tenured teachers were accused of ignoring the special needs of minority students. Dropouts increased, performance levels fell precipitously, and violence in schools appeared endemic. Colleges and businesses alike complained bitterly that schools turn out "functional illiterates." In the last two decades of the 20th century, the system was led by a dozen chancellors, and the mayor's role in their selection became as highly politicized as district appointment of school principals. In 1996 the state legislature once again intervened, ending local authority to name principals and attempting to remove party and ethnic politics from the system. In 1999 principals agreed to surrender their tenure rights in return for larger wage increases. The long decline of a once-praised system has benefited parochial and private schools in New York, although the cost of a nonpublic education has escalated considerably.
Higher education
The metropolitan area has more than 80 colleges, including such nationally famed institutions as Columbia (1754), New York (1831), Fordham (1841), and Rockefeller (1901) universities and Cooper Union (1859). Its vast municipal system, the City University of New York (CUNY), has more than 20 units and traces its origin to City College (1847). However, the introduction of open admissions in the 1970s brought the ills of the high schools into the college system. CUNY's strong academic tradition soon mutated into what became derisively known as "Remediation U," and from the late 1990s university trustees were engaged in an effort to strengthen the baccalaureate. Even the most selective colleges found it necessary to enhance basic student skills. Despite these difficulties, New York remains one of the nation's premier university towns and, from Ivy League to community college, its streets pulsate with student life.

She arrived three weeks early last week.
Peter Andre and Emily MacDonagh can be forgiven for taking their time to name their new baby girl after her unexpected arrival.
But the latest rumours are that they've chosen to call her Rebecca - and if the rumours are indeed true then we approve.
Peter, 40, and Emily, 24, revealed earlier this week that they were struggling to find the perfect name for their baby, despite both knowing that they wanted something traditional.
[Peter Andre shares a pic of a funny babygro for his daughter]
[Peter Andre says baby girl is 'beautiful']
Peter explained: "We have the next couple of weeks to think about the name," before revealing that he wanted his other kids, Junior, eight and Princess, six, to help choose.
But it could be the case that they've decided on Rebecca.
A source said: "In the run up to the birth, Emily told Pete she was set on a traditional name for their first child together. A lot of Pete's family are devout Christians, and Rebecca fitted the bill perfectly - she is a key figure in Genesis in the Bible."
In the run up to the birth, Peter did reveal that he liked 'Biblical' names.
He explained: "Biblical names are great. Alexandra, Cleopatra, those nice biblical names."
Whether or not her name is Rebecca remains to be seen, but one thing IS for sure - baby Andre is apparently gorgeous.
Peter said this week: "Thankyou to everyone for their kind messages on the arrival of our little beaut. She is just perfect. It's a bit early to say who she looks like yet, but I'm sure it'll be apparent soon."
We just hope that we get to see a photo of her - and officially find out her name - very soon!

Earth's view will be far different in 2 billion years
Global warming, the Iraq war, economic woes, fears of terrorism and now, when it appears things couldn't get any worse, astronomers predict the sun and Earth along with it will be hurled into deep space when our galaxy collides with a neighboring galaxy.
It won't happen for a few billion years, but when it does, the entire solar system will be expelled from its current place in the bright galactic "suburbs" into the galactic boondocks, where there will be far fewer stars to guide sailors and to inspire the romantic.
This less-than-sunny news comes from Harvard astronomer Thomas Cox and colleague Avi Loeb, who used a supercomputer model to predict how the two galaxies will begin colliding in about 2 billion years.
"These types of merger events are very common," said Cox, a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass. "They are to a certain extent snapshots of what our future evolution holds."
Loeb, an astronomy professor at Harvard who also works at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center, is a leading authority on the evolution of galaxies and the cosmos.
Our sun is one of a few hundred billion stars in the Milky Way, a pinwheel-like swirl of stars. The Milky Way's biggest neighbor is another galaxy, Andromeda, more than 2 million light-years away. A starship traveling at the speed of light would take more than 2 million years to reach Andromeda.
But no would-be Buck Rogers needs to fly to Andromeda, because it's flying toward us at approximately 60 miles per second, maybe faster. In other words, the Milky Way and Andromeda are doomed to collide, astronomers say.
For almost a century, astronomers have known that Andromeda is approaching. They concluded this after analyzing Andromeda's light spectrum as it shifted toward blue. In astronomy, if objects are becoming bluer, they are moving toward the observer, while objects that are becoming more intensely red are moving away. Right now, Andromeda is so far away that it appears as a small, faint glow in the night sky. But as it nears the Milky Way, its hundreds of billions of stars will stretch from horizon to horizon.
Using their computer model, Cox and Loeb forecast that after the collision, the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies will be pulled together by gravity and blend into a single, spherical super-galaxy "Milkomeda," as Cox and Loeb call it.

APNewsBreak: US officials seek drug war change
MEXICO CITY The Obama administration wants to shift U.S. aid in Mexico away from high-priced helicopters and airplanes and toward reforming Mexico's corrupt law enforcement, courts and politicians.
Marking a dramatic change from past years, most of the $310 million that the Obama administration seeks for Mexico in its 2011 budget request is aimed at judicial reforms and good governance programs in Mexico.
"We are moving away from big ticket equipment" and toward programs that support "Mexican capacity to sustain adherence to the rule of law and respect for human rights," said Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Roberta Jacobsen in testimony prepared for a congressional subcommittee hearing on Thursday.
"The starkest shift is in how funding will be spent," said Shannon O'Neil of the Council of Foreign Relations, also in prepared testimony provided to The Associated Press ahead of Thursday's hearings.
While the administration has previously talked about emphasizing institution-building and prevention instead of law enforcement in the fight against drugs, State Department budgets obtained by The Associated Press show that funding has remained almost entirely devoted to law enforcement.
The proposals to be unveiled Thursday indicate that may soon change, marking a fundamental shift in the way the Untied States has waged its war on drugs for four decades.
The changes are not going to be easy, nor direct.
"Successful programs focused on building institutions and economic opportunity are much harder to deliver than helicopters or boats," O'Neil said. "But they also hold more promise for long-term solutions, as they recognize the complicated realities of Mexico's drug war and the limitations of military hardware in changing the tide."
Mexico's foreign relations secretary, Patricia Espinosa, said Tuesday that changes - and a commitment to continue working together - are welcome.
"Because of the characteristics of the phenomenon of organized crime, we cannot think that the problems will end after just two or three years of cooperation," she said.
Espinosa said U.S. aid may be directed specifically to social programs in Ciudad Juarez, a city of 1 million bordering El Paso, Texas, where drug cartel violence killed more than 2,600 people last year, making it one of the most violent places in the world.
Thousands of Mexican soldiers and federal police have failed to ease crime there, prompting President Felipe Calderon to announce a new approach that would involve jobs, education and other community support.
Espinosa said Mexico would like to see U.S. programs involved "as part of the comprehensive strategy to tackle the problem of transnational organized crime."
Until 2007, the U.S. had been spending about $50 million in aid to Mexico each year. But that year, Mexico's newly elected President Felipe Calderon vowed to crack down on powerful drug cartels and President George W. Bush said he would help.
Thus the Merida Initiative began with a $500 million grant that Bush said would buy and maintain six helicopters and two airplanes for the United States' neighbors to the south. Within months, the State Department said the grants and training fund had almost tripled, to $1.4 billion, in a three-year package.

Today Heidi received an iPad, thanks to the FaHCSIA Helping Children with Autism Funding.
I took a walk with Annie this evening and we discussed why Heidi got an iPad and Annie did not – we simply couldn't afford to buy one ourselves. Annie asked how we had gotten the money for Heidi's and I explained about the Helping Children with Autism funding and how it ended when the child turned 7yo, but that Annie had never received it because she got her diagnosis after the age of 6.
Annie was very upset, not that Heidi recieved an iPad (although she is a little envious, as are we all), but at the unfairness of the system. She asked me to record this short video and put it on YouTube to explain her feelings on the matter.
If you are reading from RSS reader / email feed please click over to the post to see the video.
Exactly right. Go Annie
Well said Annie.
And the most heartbreaking thing as a parent to a newly diagnosed child… the time it takes to truly accept that autism IS for life. At least that has been my experience so far.
I wouldn't change my children for anything, but I sure would love some more support in accessing the therapies and other things they will need for the rest of their lives.
Go Annie!
Nothing else to add besides I agree with everything that she said!
So true. The truly sad thing is the lack of support for adolescents and adults on the spectrum – I'm not looking forward to continuing to fight the system for funding and assistance well into my children's adulthood. Annie is right, the condition stays for life, so should the assistance.
All of us who have either kids or adults with ASd would agree with you. I was especially annoyed as I was part of the campaign to get the early intervention funding and my son who is now 11 missed out by a year I think. Kids may improve but I have met none who actually are cured.
However the parents I know from my son's school who also have kids with Down's or cerebral palsy were also upset when the autism funding came in as their kids' needs are just as major. At least the early intervention funding was extended to a range of other disabilities.
However even if you can get the funding where I am in Canberra the therapists are either non existent or have closed their books so it is catch 22. This can be blamed on the local government who runs a hopeless therapy service and have not encouraged private therapists by providing the necessary course in the Canberra tertiary sector by social policy. And so many parents like Marita who have kids with an ASD cannot work as their kids have high care needs which impinge on your ability to work. And so it goes on,
I hope the NDIS will actually improve the lives of all disabled Australians and those who care for them and it is funded not a pipe dream.
smart girl! xt
I agree that there needs to be support for all ages however the facsia funding is aimed at ear intervention so there does need to be a cut of point, it is proven that early intervention can be so vital and make such a difference so the funding is very important to help provide intense therapy before school age.
Of course there should be therapy and support options after 7 but it isn't unfair that help is provided for early intervention.
Can they share the ipad? My daughter is getting ne but ther eis no way it will be 'her' ipad, she will just use it as needed.
Good luck.
Well said!
I understand why they push the money in the early years.
these kids still need assistance after they turn 7. So there needs to be something.
Wow… Well done Annie… very articulate. I wish my boys could be such good advocates for themselves.
BTW: An Ipad costs about $700 in Australia. An android pad however costs about $100 (see: https://www.adelong.com.au/index.php?cPath=429).
It's not exactly the same obviously but who's arguing at that price. I got one and it's hard to keep the kids off it.
I can't seem to get the video on my phone but will try later on the computer, I can understand the early intervention funding but it should continue past 7
If Annie ever decides to run for Prime Minister she has my vote; we could use a few people who are willing to look beyond their own desires and fight for what is fair and right (and challenge gender stereotypes!). Anyone who thinks that people with Aspergers aren't capable of empathy needs to see this clip; we may do empathy differently, but we definately do it. Annie makes me proud to have Aspergers.
I think the idea of funding for X number of years after diagnosis is a brilliant one; in a perfect world the funding wouldn't run out, but if we have to prioritise then it makes sense to provide support for people dealing with a new diagnosis. Increasingly this means support for children under 7, but it needs to allow for those who slip the net.
What a well spoken child and how proud you must be of her and take credit yourself also. Let's hope Annie gets an iPad. xo
[…] A very smart and beautiful young lady made an important video over at Stuff With Thing called Autism Never Ends and an equally smart and beautiful, slightly older, but still young, lady has stepped up to help […]
I would love to hear anyone's comments on the benefits of an Ipad (or andoid). I am considering it for my 5yo and will need to explain to the Speech Therapist what apps will benefit her autism and auditory processing. Would appreciate any comments.
Here is a link to the best ipad apps for autism and aspergers syndrome http://www.bookroomreviews.com/2010/08/16/best-ipad-apps-for-autism-and-aspergers-syndrome/ Many early intervention programs (eg. AEIOU) are using Ipads for all their children – apparently they are one of the best things that has happened to assist with communication etc., I am getting an android for my son who has autism for Christmas – I would have rather had an Ipad but there was a big difference in cost – we'll see how it goes (but he is high functioning and doesn't need one as much as some kids).
Thank you very much Gabrielle. That's a huge help.
I have been looking at the best ones to get for my Pre-Primary class. I have an Android at home and the kids at school loved using it. However I am leaning to towards the iPads for my class purely for the much larger range of apps for the younger age group. My own children are 10 and 13 and the Android apps are great for them but the educational and special needs ones for iPads seem better.
PS If anyone knows of great Android apps they would recommend I would love to hear about them!
Well said Annie. Very proud!
Wow, that moved me to tears. Go Annie – I know where you're coming from. There are lots of things that are unfair about autism and we all need to let people know about them like you are doing.
[…] by Marita on December 22, 2011 /* */ Following from Annie's amazing video yesterday: […]
Good point and well said, Annie
We've had this exact issue arise as I picked up my son's Fahcsia funded ipad yesterday, but we haven't sat down and introduced the kids to it as yet, still trying to figure out the explanation / sharing part of it (I'm glad they can share during the holidays at least). My daughter was diagnosed – after a 6 month process – at the same time as she turned 6, so her therapies are chosen with a bit more caution due to the investment needed. I'm bracing myself for her OT bills next year, as it is on top of the psychologist and speech visits she also needs. And when it comes to Ash's 7th birthday next August – at which time his funding is no longer available – I am currently taking the approach of fingers in my ears 'la la la la'!
I'm thrilled to hear that Annie has been gifted her ipad by this community of supporters

I've only just begun using the android and while I suspect that at the moment the ipad is probably better, the fact is that you can buy 6 android pads for the cost of a single ipad.

Actress Shruti Haasan, daughter of legendary actor Kamal Haasan and actress Sarika, always wanted to be in showbiz, but was skeptical about facing the camera because she didn't find herself attractive enough to be a heroine.
"I always wanted to become actress, but I always thought I am too ugly to be an actress. I was always in the sport, in the sun and always running around. I always thought heroines are so beautiful how will I be that beautiful? But I always wanted to be in the entertainment business. I always wanted to act, sing and be a part of it," said Shruti who also sings.
The 27-year-old, who made her debut with Hindi movie "Luck", will have two releases on June 19 - "D-Day" and "Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya".
"It is good it just so happened," she said about the simultaneous release of her two films and added: "I am happy that both are polar opposite films. For me, both the characters are so different from each other. In a weird way, it is nice that both the films are coming out on the same day. It just shows the range," she said.
The actress, who has featured in more than half-a-dozen films so far, including Telugu movie "Anaganaga O Dheerudu", finds her journey unconventional.
"It's been a kind of different journey. It is not a conventional journey of a star. I have never been a conventional person. My journey has taught me a lot. There has been success and failure - they both taught me a lot. It's my journey and hopefully, will return more colours."

simple pleasures
November 13, 2013
A couple months back at the Rocket Fizz candy shop in Denver, we found a box of vintage trading cards.
I finally opened mine:
Now I want, like, a GI Joe poker set or something.

Bluegrass Underground is a musical adventure series that shines a light on purveyors of musical authenticity in a space unlike any other on (or under) earth. Bluegrass Underground emanates from the Volcano Room, a subterranean amphitheatre 333 feet below McMinnville, Tennessee at Cumberland Caverns. The acoustic properties of the Volcano Room are singular. In fact the room only resonates at 2 frequencies meaning that experiencing live music there is akin to attending a concert inside a recording studio.
Audio engineers are amazed at the natural acoustics and world renowned lightning artist Allen Branton uses the space to paint light upon the primordial darkness found inside this cave. Music and light entwine in this series which celebrates the natural beauty and musical culture that is uniquely American. Discover the full spectrum of Americana and Roots music at Bluegrass Underground.
Bluegrass Underground's creator, producers, director, lighting designer, illustrator, cave experts and the Cumberland Caverns staff all speak. From Todd Mayo's first flash of inspiration in the Volcano Room, to a chance meeting with filmmaker Todd Jarrell, to hauling 11 bands, 700 guests and $1,000,000 of audio, video & lighting gear 333-feet underground, this is the story from the start.

Seclore Announces the Successful Deployment of Seclore FileSecure IRM at HDFC Life Business Wire MUMBAI, India -- October 16, 2013 Seclore, a leader in providing security, privacy and compliance solutions, announces the successful deployment of its flagship Information Rights Management (IRM) technology - Seclore FileSecure - for HDFC Life, one of India's leading private life insurance companies. HDFC Life was looking for an empowering and integration-friendly security solution to prevent unauthorised use of customer data. Security, privacy and compliance in the context of outsourcing cannot be managed by legal contracts alone; the responsibility lies with the enterprise who owns the customers' data as well as its own intellectual property. Seclore FileSecure protects an enterprise's unstructured information, such as documents and email, by defining usage rights that persist irrespective of location or mode of transfer. These rights – which can be remote controlled – control who can access information, for what purpose, when and from where. This makes Seclore FileSecure an end-to-end information security solution in compliance with regulatory frameworks such as ISO and mandates from IRDA on security and privacy. Commenting on the deployment of the technology, HDFC Life's CISO, Mr. Sharad Sadadekar, said, "In the world of blurring organizational boundaries and dependence on business providers to process business information, it is imperative for an organisation to ensure that their customer data is safe. Addressing this issue, Seclore FileSecure provided a comprehensive solution to all the information security needs. The software is engineered in a way that it focuses on the 'solution' to deliver business value and not only the 'technology.'" "It is a matter of pride for us to partner with HDFC Life in their information rights management initiative. HDFC Life chose Seclore FileSecure as the one of the most prominent technologies that can safeguard the customer information. By providing information-centric security, Seclore FileSecure enables enterprises to operate in the emerging world of BYOD and Cloud," said Vishal Gupta, CEO, Seclore. HDFC Life thoroughly evaluated many technologies as well as technology combinations before choosing Seclore FileSecure. About HDFC Life HDFC Life, one of India's leading private life insurance companies, offers a range of individual and group insurance solutions. It is a joint venture between Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC), India's leading housing finance institution and Standard Life plc., the leading provider of financial services in the United Kingdom. HDFC Life continues to have one of the widest reaches among new insurance companies with about 500 branches in India touching customers in over 900 cities and towns. About Seclore Seclore (www.seclore.com) is a leader in providing security, privacy and compliance solutions in the "new new" world of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), Cloud and external collaboration. Seclore's technology helps enterprises in the areas of Information Rights Management (IRM) and secure outsourcing. Seclore has been continuously recognized as a leader in its segment, for example by Gartner as a "Cool Vendor" and Deloitte as a Technology Fast 50 company. The largest financial services, engineering services and manufacturing companies across the globe rely on Seclore's technology to make sure information stays in the right hands and cannot be copied, replicated and shared without permission.

Mac's gonna be on CSI:New York!!
Haha! Just saw a preview of Wednesday night's CSI:New York episode, and it's going to have John McEnroe making a cameo appearance...
reminds me of when Conan O'Brien made a cameo on The Office. Anyone see that?
He seeks out TV cameras with the same desperation as a man stranded in the desert seeks out water.
The perpetual attention and validation that this jerk requires is truly pathetic.
McEnroe: "I didn't stab him onto the condom machine...Jim Connors did it!!!!"
Gogo Mcenroe!!
That first scene with him thinking that the CSI's were fans looking for an autograph was pretty bad, I was cringing. Mc did a better job of acting like someone else than his own self! Though the rest of it after that first scene was passable(barely).
I think it was dumb how they so readily believed his alibi. I think it has to do with not damaging Mc's image/reputation(damaging it more?)
What is Mac, like 5'10? He looked like a giant next to the CSI's!
I used to think that Mac was just acting when he threw his temper tantrums on the court...after last nights show I know now that he doesn't have that kind of talent. It's real.
I do not watch much television and I've never seen CSI, but I tuned in just 'cause it was Johnny Mac....BTW thanks, this thread is how I knew about it.
I do agree with Deuce, though. The man is addicted to the camera. He's gotta be thanking God every moment for his fame, and to his credit, the writers had him make mention of that last night at the end of the episode.
Anyone catch the line about John's upper body strength? And the 140 mph serve? A little stroke of Johnny's ego there, huh? Actually a lot, throughout the hour.
I felt Mac's acting (as himself) was stiff and self-conscious....which is John, isn't it, unless he is in the booth with Ted Robinson? And his performance as his lookalike was awesome, even though it sounded dubbed in with a higher pitched voice).
How about the recent line from John: "I used to get fined when I yelled at people. Now I get fined it I don't."
I absolutely think that's an act.
Can someone please summarize the premise and plot of the McEnroe episode for those of us who missed it and aren't sure what you are talking about?

Matrix Calculator Reshish
1,000 - 5,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Andrew Shishkin
We are very happy to present this application. It has all the same functionality as the website does, by the time the app had been created.
So if you love matrix.reshish.com, no doubt you enjoy the app, because it is also beautiful, functional and so easy to use.
All calculations can be done in COMPLEX NUMBERS!!
The key feature of the app is presenting results of complicated operations in a very detailed way.
What it can do:
- solve system of simultaneous linear equations using
1. Gauss-Jordan Elimination
2. Cramer's rule
3. Inverse Matrix Method
- calculate
1. Matrix Rank
2. Matrix Determinant
3. Matrix Inverse
4. Matrix Transpose
- raise matrix to a power
- multiply matrices
- add and subtract matrices
This is the update you have been waiting for!
- All calculations can now be done in COMPLEX NUMBERS!!
(64 stars)
Good App
(64 stars)
Best solver I've found, but best used with a computer on the website instead as the text input is a little wonky (at least for my phone - Moto G). I have to manually switch to the number input mode on EACH CELL, then for the entire last row the "Next" button turns into "Done" BTW in case anyone is wondering, the "light" version is limited to a 3x4 matrix
(64 stars)
Yesss!! This app is back love the new update. Thanks so much!!! No more x_ thing lol
(64 stars)
This app is amazing. I forgot how to multiply them and this helps me check my work. I just got it and haven't had it crash or anything so far. I recommend this app
(64 stars)
After solving a matrix the sub script of Xs don't show up. Instead of x1 x2, we see x_, x_. Reply to developer comment: I tried to solve the 2X3 matrix (1 0 1)(0 1 2) using gauss Jordan elimination and the displayed solution is x_ = 1 x_ = 2 Note: the headers of the columns when I entered the matrix were also x_, x_, b. I'm using Galaxy S3. This is happening every time.
(64 stars)
I got this app and it really helps out with math but I do have it crash on some problems that j enter which sucks but it is so worth the money. If you suck at or hate math this app will save you over and over. Buy it for sure because you will not regret this.

Good Vendor Report / Sea Frost
Hy Guys,
Well the 11 year old cold plate on my Sea Frost engine driven refrigeration unit gave up the ghost and leaked all its fluid out. We are leaving for vacation soon and need refrigeration.
I removed the holding plate and the compressor and delivered both to Sea Frost in NH. Cleve, the owner, cleaned it, re-sealed it, clear coated it, re-filled it and pressure tested it.
When I went to pick the holding plate up I asked what I owed him? Nothing was the response!!! Cleve also leak tested my compressor and gave it the ok for many, many more hours of use. He also cleaned up the compressor and gave me a set of new o-rings to put it back together with.
Remember this unit was 11 years old, I was not the original owner, though he is a friend of mine, and it had leaked due to some aluminum oxidation at the seam which is sealed with silicone.
That is top notch SERVICE!! Sea Frost is now also offering a very, very nicely built 12v refrigeration system too that I got a chance to see being built while I was there..
Great company!!
Sea Frost (LINK)
We've got the 12v Sea Frost BD system - it works well and doesn't draw a ridiculous amount of power. The only issue with them is that they use Danfoss compressors which can cause interference on some RF bands.
I am a big fan of them too. We did a big install with them holding our hand all the way through on Camaraderie... a wonderful system for a bigboat. Then a year ago I put in a BDXp air/water cooled system into a large cat and they sent everything pre-bent for the custom installation and it was basically hook up the electric, bolt the stuff in and we were done in just a couple of hours with a perfect custom fit.
Fine products...great service during sale and installation...and apparently for at least 11 years thereafter!

MODEL KOMBAT; New weapon launched in computer game war.
Market leader Sony immediately hit back, saying it will slash the price of the best-selling PlayStation by pounds 70 to pounds 129.99 later this month.
Experts say the N64 gives Nintendo's SuperMario character the cutting edge in the battle for the pounds 10billion video games market. The pounds 250 machine is twice as powerful as its rivals, creating far more realistic 3D graphics.
Computer games fans will be rushing to the shops today as N64 goes on sale across Britain. But many will be disappointed as only 20,000 are available.
One expert said: "It will be a Buzz Lightyear syndrome."
Nintendo have sold 4.5million N64s in America and Japan. But the makers cannot keep up with demand. Marcus Hawkins, editor of GamesMaster magazine, said: "The Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation have become mainstream.
"There is a lot of excitement about N64, but it will appeal more to the older, hardened games fan than to young kids.
"Price is going to be a major factor in the war between Nintendo and other manufacturers." The N64's cost has raised eyebrows. On top of the basic pounds 250, it is pounds 30 for an extra controller and up to pounds 70 for games.
Sony executives clearly hope their price-cutting strategy will be a winner. But one insider said the games market had reached saturation point.
The expert said: "So many games are on the Internet it's amazing. Technology will allow us to play complex games on our TVs in a few years."
PRICE: The basic console costs pounds 249.99 with controllers to let up to four people play an extra pounds 30 each
AVAILABILITY: Limited, makers cannot match demand
GAMES: Only three so far, but graphics are superb
VERDICT: The 64-bit processor sets the standard
Games fan Jonathan Stewart has played the ``brilliant'' Nintendo 64.
The marketing executive, 28, said: "The games respond so quickly it's unbelievable. This new console really is 3D, it's the business.
"It is the first 64-bit console and you can really tell the difference. For years figures on the screen have looked like figures, now they look like real people. There's a real sense of perspective.
"I'm sure they'll come down in price but they're very expensive and there is a limit to the number of games you can play."
PRICE: Being cut to pounds 129.99
AVAILABILITY: Sony make a million every month.
GAMES: Plentiful, from pounds 20
VERDICT: Fighting to stay top
Playstation will remain a favourite, says Jonathan Stewart.
He said: "It's been the business for so long, it's hard to know how the Rolls Royce of consoles is going to be beaten.
"There are tons of brilliant games that have great graphics and are easy to play. Kids love it. The games are easy to load and cheap to buy.
"If they're cutting the price it will be the machine to have.
"The N64 is so superior technically, but if you're talking about a console everyone can play then this is the one."

Here is a fun paper project that is not only simple to make but looks elegant and lovely when finished. This is a great DIY project for wedding reception decor or to decorate any elegant party. I can even see this spiral rose branch used in styling a little girls room or to decorate your office desk. You will just need a tree branch for each piece, paper and the materials to create a base for your arrangement. In the tutorial below, I give you the step-by-steps on how I created this centerpiece. There are many variations, the one constant being the spiral roses. You can free form cut your spirals in any color or use the template I have provided for you at the end of this post. My one hint is to use a text weight paper rather than the heavier card stock. This will let the spiral form and curl with ease while still holding the finished shape. Enjoy! ~ Lia

Sprint Nextel's bid to buy the rest of Clearwire may run into resistance from Crest Financial; the seller's largest majority investor filed a preliminary proxy statement which -- once approved by regulators -- would urge shareholders to reject the deal as undervaluing the wireless service provider.

By Tom Withers, AP Sports Writer
BEREA, Ohio Gary Baxter's hospital room was overflowing with visitors, doctors and doubt.
And as he lay in bed last October still wearing his game pants on the first night of a two-month stay, Baxter was unable to move his legs after freakishly tearing both patellar tendons on the same play. He closed his tear-filled eyes and let his mind race ahead.
He envisioned a comeback unlike any before.
He wasn't going out like this. Not now. Not without a fight.
Spewing test results and history, medical experts warned Baxter that he might have permanent damage and could have trouble walking. For now, they'd fit him for a wheelchair. Later, in-house nursing would be provided.
Worse, they said his playing career was over and suiting up again for the Cleveland Browns wasn't possible.
Players rarely returned from one patellar injury. But two? And to play again in an NFL game? Sorry.
That would take, well, a medical miracle.
"I wouldn't call it a miracle," said Baxter, who defied astronomical odds and returned to the practice field with the Browns last month. "It's a blessing. I wanted to be an inspiration to people. I've been a man on a mission."
And he hasn't stopped.
Baxter, written off by almost everyone, including a few close teammates, plans to play in Cleveland's opener on Sept. 9 against Pittsburgh.
"I know it," he said. "I've already played out 2007 in my mind, and that's where I'm going to be."
Few doubt him anymore.
Only hours after he tore his patellar tendons - which connect the shin bones and knee caps - while defending a pass against Denver wide receiver Javon Walker in an Oct. 22 game, Baxter dedicated himself.
Once his room at the Cleveland Clinic had emptied that Sunday night, Baxter looked at the word "Warrior" inked on his right wrist and made a personal pledge.
"I said, 'Well, I guess I have to live up to what my tattoo says,"' he said. "And that's the way it has been. At first it was baby steps, beyond baby steps. I decided it was all chips in, I'm going to fight this battle."
He wasn't going it alone.
Baxter relied on his strong faith to get him through the tough days and agonizing rehab sessions. He was comforted by his favorite Bible passage, which says in part: " ... when you encounter various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance."
"If this is how God is going to teach me patience," Baxter said, "then what a great lesson."
Baxter sensed right away that something greater might be guiding him.
On Oct. 24, two days after crumpling in a heap near the goal line, Baxter was wheeled into the operating room for a scheduled 7 a.m. surgery. Exactly one year earlier, he had had surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle.
"Same hospital, same room, same doctor, same staff that prepared me, same time," Baxter said. "I was like, 'Whoa, this is pretty deep."'
Browns team physician Dr. Anthony Miniaci successfully fixed Baxter's tendons, which had ruptured cleanly. That was the easy part. For most of the next two months, Baxter was confined to his hospital bed, where the simplest daily tasks became major obstacles.
He needed help - with everything. His mother made sure he got it.
Faye Baxter was sitting in a suite in Cleveland Browns Stadium when her son crashed to the turf in pain. She watched him roll around, but stayed put.
"Gary always told me that as long as the cart didn't come out to get him, then it wasn't serious," she said from her home in Tyler, Texas. "When they brought the cart out I headed downstairs."
Broncos safety John Lynch knew Baxter was in bad shape.
"When he did that we all just got on our knees and started saying prayers for the guy," Lynch said. "It was gruesome and you could see where he blew both knees and you're not even thinking about the guy's career at that point, you're just worried about him being able to walk."
Once she reached the locker room area, Faye Baxter learned that her No. 24 wasn't doing well.
"All I heard was that he would never walk again," she said. "I passed out."
After Baxter's surgery, Faye went home to retrieve more clothes, took a leave of absence from her job and moved into her son's hospital room. For weeks, she slept on a small cot next to his bed.
Faye Baxter recalled times when seeing her son suffer was too much to bear.
"I would go out in the hallway and cry," she said.
During the day, Baxter kept his upper body strong by curling dumbbells. At night, he mentally charted his comeback. He thought about good and bad days to come. He jotted down notes. He visualized snapping on his helmet, dropping into coverage and batting down a pass intended for some receiver who dared test him.
He could still play the game in his brain.
He couldn't walk.
"Hard times," Baxter said. "When they were sizing me up for a wheelchair, I broke down. But I never gave up the idea that I was never going to play again."
Weeks after surgery, Baxter's first challenge was to stand. He had been horizontal for so long that he had to be careful not to sit up too fast for fear of a blood clot rushing to his heart.
Soon he was upright with an aluminum walker and shuffling his feet along the floor. He progressed quickly and was discharged on Christmas Eve.
Two months later, about the time doctors predicted he would start walking, Baxter was running. On July 30, he pushed open the back doors of the Browns' training headquarters and jogged onto the field to join his teammates at practice.
He was back.
"I told him, 'Man I doubted you,"' Browns linebacker Andra Davis said. "When I went and saw him in the hospital that first day I was so down. I knew that was it for him. But G.B. proved me wrong. Anything he says he can do, I'll believe him."
Wendell Davis, a former wide receiver with the Chicago Bears, was the only NFL player known to have torn both patellar tendons at the same time. Davis got back on the practice field in two years and spent one season with Indianapolis but never played in another game.
Baxter's goal is to resume his career.
"History is something that's never been done before," he said. "That's what I'm doing."
His heartwarming story, however, could be chilled.
Soreness in his knees has limited him to individual drills this week, and Baxter will not play in Saturday's exhibition at Denver. The Browns will conclude their preseason next week at home.
Baxter called playing in the preseason "pointless" but the Browns want to see him do more.
"We have to see him in as much of a competitive situation as we can get him in," coach Romeo Crennel said. "He's been out here at practice, and he's been on the show (scout) team. But we need to see him against the good guys."
The Browns have options with Baxter, who signed a six-year, $30 million free agent contract in 2005.
They could place him on injured reserve, which would sideline him for the season but allow him more time to heal. They could carry him on their 53-man roster and evaluate his progress. They could release him.
Baxter understands his comeback has reached a crucial juncture.
"I know this is a business," Baxter said, "and it can be cold. But I'm in a unique situation. All I know is I want to be an inspiration to people who think that when everything is hopeless and it's too late and you can't go no more, there's still hope.
"How it plays out? One day at a time. Baby steps."

Authorities Monday identified the gunman who went on a rampage at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in suburban Milwaukee Sunday, killing six people and injuring three — he is a former Army soldier named Wade Michael Page.
Page — who was killed by an officer after a shootout — was described as a 6-foot-tall, bald white man with many tattoos; ABC News reported sources told them Page was a "white supremacist" and a "skinhead."
Sources with the U.S. Army said Page enlisted in April 1992, and in October 1998, was given a less-than-honorable discharge. He had served in Fort Bliss, Texas, and Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
WORLD EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW: White House Gatecrashers Michaele and Tareq Salahi Demand Apology
Page "did not speak, he just began shooting," according to Satpal Kaleka, a member of the temple who witnessed the attack. Kaleka added Page operated like he'd mapped the plan out ahead of time.
The three shooting victims, including a 20-year veteran police officer, were in critical condition at Milwaukee's Froederdt Hospital late Sunday. The officer is expected to recover, police said.
Watch the video on RadarOnline.com
Authorities swarmed a Cudahy, Wisconsin duplex Sunday, evacuating homes in an attempt to serve warrants where Page lived.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Teresa Carlson said that "no motive has been determined at this time."
President Barrack Obama said in a statement Sunday, "At this difficult time, the people of Oak Creek must know that the American people have them in our thoughts and prayers, and our hearts go out to the families and friends of those who were killed and wounded."
Sikhism has an estimated 27 million followers worldwide, with around 500,000 Sikhs living in the United States.
Authorities Monday are expected to release more information in the massacre.

Sex, drugs and village politics in J. K. Rowling's new novel
Published on Sep 25, 2012 10:52 AM
LONDON (AFP) - Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling bids goodbye to the boy wizard on Thursday when she releases her first novel for adults, a gritty tale of poverty and politics in an idyllic English village.
With more than 450 million copies of the Potter books sold and fans feverishly excited about the British author's first major work since 2007, her new black comedy, titled The Casual Vacancy, is already a guaranteed success.
Pre-order sales have reportedly topped a million copies and British booksellers expect it to be the best-selling fiction title of the year.
"It's one of the biggest releases of the 21st century," Mr Philip Stone, charts editor at The Bookseller magazine, said. "I think 99.9 per cent of us (in the industry) are predicting it will go straight to number one."

Hi All
Some of you may of heard about this already, but it's recently been announced that PowerShell will be in the Microsoft Common Engineering Criteria for 2009.
What is the Common Engineering Criteria?
The Common Engineering Criteria is a set of criteria that each Microsoft server product should adhere to. The criteria was set up in 2005 and has been updated each year with a new set of requirements. The word on the street is that in 2009, PowerShell support will be added to this list, meaning that from 2009 all server products that are released should have full PowerShell support. Wahoo!
For more details on the Common Engineering Criteria check out the homepage: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/cer/allcriteria.mspx
For a checklist of the current criteria, and a report on which products implement them, check out this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/cer/report.mspx
So to all those that haven't learnt PowerShell yet ... it is time. PowerShell is not going away!
Cheers all
What does "full support" really mean though? Currently, I see products like Exchange 2007 where the administation is all done through PowerShell, but other products like Operations Manager 2007 that just provide a bunch of cmdlets that do some of the functions.
Hi Marco, new products should have full support like Exchange 2007, System Center Virtual Machine Manager, System Center Data Protection Manager.

notebook computer
)(n.) An extremely lightweight personal computer. Notebook computers typically weigh less than 6 pounds and are small enough to fit easily in a briefcase. Aside from size and portability, the principal difference between a notebook computer and a personal computer is the display screen. Notebook computers use a variety of techniques, known as flat-panel technologies,to produce a lightweight and non-bulky display screen.
The quality of notebook display screens varies considerably. Many notebook display screens are limited to VGA resolution. Active-matrix screens produce very sharp images, but they do not refresh as rapidly as full-size monitors.
In terms of computing power, modern notebook computers are nearly equivalent to personal computers. They have the same CPUs, memory capacity, and disk drives. However, all this power in a small package is expensive.
Notebook computers come with battery packs that enable you to runthem without plugging them in. However, the batteries need to be recharged every few hours.

And, Trachtenberg added, "babies should sleep on their backs alone in the cribs, with nothing else in them: no blankets, pillows, bumpers, stuffed animals."
She advised using blanket sleepers or swaddlers to keep babies warm.
"Even if you can't achieve a perfect sleep environment for your baby, getting rid of some of the risk factors goes a long way," Trachtenberg said.
Pacifiers might help, Hunt added. "The data would suggest that infants that are provided a pacifier on a consistent basis have a lower risk of SIDS."
The experts agreed that despite gains, continuing awareness efforts are needed to reduce SIDS rates even further.
"There are still a lot of families that are not aware of what constitutes safe sleeping practices," Hunt said. "These data would reinforce that's still an issue, and it's still a public health problem, that we need to do a better job of education."

Could Liston in 1955 have beaten Schmeling? I doubt it, and I don't think anyone has any proof he could. So claims that Liston would do better are based on a peak Liston, but a peak Louis slaughtered Schmeling in one erasing the whole point.
Well, those that offer selective examples that bolster their man and tear down the other are not objective are they.
Perhaps you read selective posts --I think that most posts have sense enough to take each man at their peak and hypothesize from there.

That does not mean he is the best.
I am as objective as I can be and if I am not, I admit it --and others out here will attest to that. You will not read many opinions out here from me that are not backed up by argument.
At the same time, others make no bones about their bias -and if you are paying attention out here you could name them. You're coming off like an old fogey.
The psychobabble you accuse me of was not about why he isn't ranked higher, it was about the threat that society -both black and white found in him. The NAACP did not want Floyd to fight Liston for the title. Pscyhobabble? Try historical fact.

in my (informed) opinion. Ali is second. Also, If you have been reading what I have written, you would have read that I don't believe that Liston should be favored against Ali, prime for prime.
Anyway, you state that Ali was green in 1964 and say nothing about Liston's age in 1964. Someone needs an objectivity check.

I would say there is just too wide a gap between his accomplishments and the level some are putting him at, as a likely winner over Ali, Louis, or Lewis, especially. With Lewis, for example, Liston was ko'd at 37 by the ordinary Martin. At 38, Lewis defeated the much, much bigger and more skilled Vitali Klitschko.
Again, Liston does not have the greatest scalps in HW history. You need to look at what his strengths were in the ring, how he dealt with different styles, and his level of skill. Styles make fights, indeed, and although it is true that Liston had
trouble with speed and particularly large men with demon speed, he could handle swarmers, punchers, and boxers.

---this has been the crux of what I've been saying! What took you so long?
