Well, this is Movie number 8 in the Best picture films nominated for Oscar I've seen this year. It was a pretty good film, even though I kept flashing back to Rocky a lot. Actually, this film doesn't really have to do with Boxing but more on keeping a family together through difficult times in which Boxing is the focus. I really liked Bale's character and it was nice to see Amy Adams in a different role rather than the ditzy "Enchanted" roles she's been in. I wouldn't say this film will win Best Picture, but it was still quite good.

One of the worst companies which I have ever had to deal with. They have lied about delivering to my building, refused to redeliver to workplace, ignored two timed, stamped, and dated requests to deliver to work and then put me on hold before dropping my call. The Mitcham Depot has now 'unfortunately' disposed of the problem by sending my goods to Coventry. Fortune is of course an impersonal magical force; sheer incompetence mixed with malicious badness and indifference would have been a better excuse.
rubbish service
15 August 2014
I tracked my parcel at 8am today and it was showing the courier was out to deliver my parcel. I waited from 8 to now 21:40 and no one came. I just checked again and remains the same information. "07:26 Departed from delivery depot" "OUT FOR DELIVERY" NO RESPECT AT ALL WITH A HUMAN BEING WHO DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE OF THIS STUPID IRRESPONSIBLE COURIER/COMPANY

False attempt to deliver
James Pyke, 28 May 2014

Parcelforce can't find a post office!
Peter Lennard, 07 May 2014
No delivery card left on 2 supposed delivery attempts (their phone line info claims 2 attempts are made). First I knew was when I received a letter warning the parcel would be sent back to sender one week later than the date on the letter. Spent 6 minutes on their expensive phone line to an automated system with no option to speak to a human being during which I chose the option of 'Parcel to be delivered to a local Post Office', as their depot is miles away. The automated response? "We can't find a local Post Office, please choose another option." I live inner London!! I am not far from a sub-post office on Brixton Hill and a main Post Office at Ferndale Road SW9. Parcelforce can't find a Post Office - what a joke! Let's hope it turns up on the day I selected for redelivery...

Does not deliver the item, and then charges to do the delivery they were supposed to do in the first place. Charges you through the nose via 0844 number for the pleasure. Avoid at all costs.

Didnt leave delivery card when no one was in. Ridiculous service. Please avoid if possible. All this time my package was sitting in my local post office for 3 weeks and I had no idea. Now its been taken back to the Depot. Complete nightmare.

Avoid them if you have chance please!!!

The so called "parcelforce" does not bother to deliver the parcel at all. That's why there are comments like people were home all day waiting for parcel and on the other day they received letter that they could not reach them. The same as with me. I was home the whole day but no one came. Then I get letter....to call the 08...number and pay for it or travel 1 hour to 4th zone to pick it up. As I read reviews I rather went there on my own. My conclusion is : they don't bother to deliver it at all. They just send letter and you can either turn up on your own or call the link which makes them profit. The place looks like slam. They are just trying to save money on fuel. Horrible!!! PS: -10 star!

Parcelfarce Mitcham
07 June 2012
In 5 years 126 packages were sent to me via parcelfarce. Only 46% were delievered complete, the rest were lost, stolen or had bits stolen from them. Of the 46% that were delievered every single one had been openned before it was delivered, only large or low value items were delivered. Not once did I recieved a responce to numerous letters to parcelfarce mitcham. Head office would reply, say they are aware of the problems but still the thieves work in the mitcham department.

See that button, it's a doorbell
01 June 2012
Stayed in for two days to receive a parcel from Parcel Force, both times they came and went without ringing the doorbell, leaving an 'attempted delivery' notice on their website and a card on day 1 but not on day 2. I have now got to get a bulky item back from their depot, but will be seeking compensation from them for using a driver too dull to recognise a doorbell when he sees one.

Hey guys, just brought home an 07 S its fantastic! What a fun, capable, and versatile little bike; and great motor. I just love not having to: load the bike, wrestle the trailer around, mix the gas, bla bla bla. All those years of motocross wore me down. But, thankfully, all those motocross years really lend themselves well now to riding the DRZ on the road (and, of course, off the road). Im really happy I didnt get a road-only bike; the DRZ allowed me not to have to change my riding style. And its light and small, compared to all those mega dual sports out there those would NOT be for me.
Anyway, Ive got a couple of bolt-on essentials and some new gear on the way. (I believe in being an excellent rider, not excellent modifier, shiny-part-installer different philosophy). And then its summer on the road/trails/woods everywhere!
Have fun guys ride safe.

Watch the black mayor of DC hit the mocha
from Ghostface Killah – One Lyrics on Genius
Washington DC Mayor Marion Barry was caught on tape smoking crack with a prostitute.
Mocha is a little known code/slang used for CRACK and not merely marijuana in some parts of NYC and all over Washington, DC back in the day. GFK is referring to the fact that the former DC Mayor Marion Barry was a well known and glorified crackhead in the black community because many related and identified with him and his habit. GFK maybe also hinting and suggesting that he personally served him if he's watching him "hit the mocha" or simply partying and socializing around an affluent crowd of junkies. "Everybody" "hit the mocha" back in its heyday.
"Crack patients, dime smokers
Vial carriers, mocha tokers
Burnt buildings, brothers building
Save yo' children, investigative reports"
~ GZA "Investigative Reports"

Destroyer Murphy bears name of Navy SEAL killed in action in Afghanistan
The ship's motto is "Lead the Fight." Shultz and his sailors chose those words, believing that it represented both the marching orders of the SEALs and Murphy's role in Red Wings.
Murphy's four-man team was working behind enemy lines in the Hindu Kush mountains, on the hunt for a Taliban leader. They were pinned down by a bigger force of enemy fighters. And the Americans couldn't get a signal to call for reinforcements, according to the Navy's account of the battle.
Murphy moved into the open in order to communicate with his base. As a result, he caught enemy fire and eventually succumbed to his wounds.
The information he relayed allowed a rescue force to be dispatched. Sadly, a Chinook helicopter with eight SEALs and eight soldiers was shot down in the mountains, killing all aboard. Those 16 men are remembered in a memorial wall in the Murphy chow hall.
Knowing the group's whereabouts eventually helped American forces locate the only survivor of Murphy's group, Petty Officer 2nd Class Marcus Luttrell. Luttrell recounts the battle in his memoir "Lone Survivor," now being made into a movie.
Murphy's Medal of Honor citation credits him with "selfless leadership, courageous actions and extraordinary devotion to duty."
The Murphy story certainly means something to the Navy, as the lieutenant is the first Navy member to be awarded the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War. But the new destroyer seems to hold a special place in the hearts of SEALs, too.
While the ship was in San Diego Bay, the officer in charge of all SEALs, Rear Adm. Sean Pybus, came over from his Coronado-based Naval Special Warfare Command to kick the tires.
Shultz said the ship's crew has been visited along the way by Murphy's old teammates and comrades, who tell tall tales about the lieutenant.
One of Shultz's favorite stories is about when the SEAL officer went for a long run while deployed to Africa. Murphy stayed out past nightfall and was chased back to base by hyenas. He managed to outrun them.
The ship has departed for Hawaii, to be stationed at Pearl Harbor, where Murphy served with SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team 1.
Shultz goes with his destroyer. But after about two years in command, his time aboard is probably nearing a close.
It will be a hard ship to give up, the skipper said.

Riding up the loading ramp

Joined: Apr 2006
Location: Folsom, CA

I used to ride motocross bikes up a 10" wide 8-foot ramp into an old F-150. Then one time I went to do that and the bottom of the ramp shifted over so that the front wheel made it up, but the rear was still on the ground. I got off of the bike without dropping it, rolled the front wheel back off of the tailgate onto the ground, and pushed bikes in from then on.
I rode a Ducati Monster M900 up that ramp a few times too. After once feeling the urge to put a foot down when half-way up I quit doing that too. I just powered into the truck bed rather than dropping the bike, but it was clear that I was taking a chance doing that.
A few months ago I had a flat rear tire on my big KTM and needed to get it up a ramp and into the back of the truck belonging to the local shop to go get it fixed. It's heavier and more awkward than any other bike I've owned, so I was having a tricky time powering it up the ramp while standing to the side of it. After the ramp shot out the back once, we tied the end of the ramp to the bumper and I let the guy from the shop get it in there. That was another case of the front wheel ending up on the tailgate.
It seems to be a lot easier to get a 250 pound MX bike up a ramp than a 500 pound adventure bike.

The Suzuki SX4 reviews section of the Autobytel site houses multiple articles from various sources over the past couple of years. There are 2 types of Suzuki SX4 reviews for you to study. There is a Suzuki SX4 review from industry experts. See analysis from a couple of sources all aggregated at Autobytel.com. Another type of car review comes from the car owner themselves. This area is for those who have had one of these vehicles and want to give their feelings about owning one. These consist of a 5-star rating and the pros and cons of an auto according to the owner. Reading up on these types of Suzuki SX4 reviews will no doubt provide some great feedback.
Being able to read a Suzuki SX4 review is very useful. But there is so much more wonderful data at the Autobytel website. But how do you access this information? Or you might not know what kind of automobile to buy? Well first you can get to the car reviews section of the website simply by clicking the link in the main navigation bar of the website. There will be a couple of things to choose from including the category of vehicle. Or pick the name of the car company. If you are unsure as what vehicle to read about; just go ahead and start delving into any automobile on the site. Once you find a model you like, there will be a place on the model information webpage to access the reviews.
In addition to all the wonderful Suzuki SX4 reviews there are some more great features. One thing to take notice of at the model level are the MSRP and Invoice prices. An MSRP is really just a standard starting price in the real world. You can see quotes that are both higher and lower than the MSRP. The other pricing information is the invoice price which refers to what the dealer paid for the vehicle. This information is unique to the Autobytel website and you will not find this data in a regular Suzuki SX4 review. Use these two figures to sort through any offers you may receive on a vehicle in order to find the best deal. There is also a plethora of data on any given vehicle. See all sorts of figures and ratings in the areas of: power, room, exterior dimensions, and safety. Find out the optional equipment available on each model. There is so much more than a simple Suzuki SX4 review at Autobytel.
A Suzuki SX4 review should have a handful of automobile pictures. Aside from the review, there will be multiple images of the interior and exterior located at the Autobytel website. Fill out a price quote request form once you have completed reading Suzuki SX4 reviews. This 2 step process is simple. Use the menu to single-out the automobile you want a quote on. Next add some personal info so that you can be contacted. The car quotes will be delivered in no time. Use the Suzuki SX4 reviews at the Autobytel website anytime you need information on a vehicle.

Course Critique
Dorito comments
I will take my hat off to Wattsy as he is one person that truly loves his job. He's probably got more bike talent in his little finger than I have in my entire human. The man can truly handle a bike like it is a third arm. He certainly was able to explain the exercise, provide real-world experience and demonstrate the exercises with ease. There is absolutely no doubting his talent on a bike. With very minor infrastructure, Wattsy was able to craft many different exercises. In fact, it is surprising how many things you can practice on a flat piece of land, which can be varying complexity and intensity. I would probably consider another class.
However, having just come home the BMW performance center 2-day off road course last weekend, this course was more different that I could imagine. I would have never survived the Wattsy class without the skills learned then. It was interesting that some core skills are the same regardless of the bike or track. Front brake locking, rear brake skidding, hills up and down rider position were prevent in both classes.
As a novice (dirt) rider, I would rather learn a technique properly from the beginning than learn a bad habit which invariably impossible to break later--> Practice doesn't make perfect; Perfect practice makes perfect!
Wattsy was very encouraging and never angered the entire day. However, I know he recognized I was the novice but just ran out of bandwidth to coach me to great success. I would have really preferred the exercise lanes to be tailored to receive feedback on every loop, rather than a "survival of the fittest" race we often found ourselves in. The latter, I suspect is part of the deeply rooted MX mentality that "if you aren't on the throttle, you'd better be on the brake" and I am the outsider wondering why. Riding dual sport, you learn to take care of other riders, because you are so far from home . The MX mentality appears to be cutoff other riders off at all expense, non-safety conscience, almost appearing to down-right lack manners and sensible judgment.
I accomplished great things when Wattsy was able to personally coach me through it for the rookie errors that I was making. For example, I did my first wheelie mid-morning, and before lunch he had me over a 2 FT diameter log! I found the warmup lap daunting on the Sat AM and got completely overfaced. But by Sun PM I was confident that I could get through it despite my pokey speed.
Constructive criticism:
1) Safety—There were numerous acts that I found to be dangerous. The exercises didn't allow control of the riders nor their MX mentality, despite a training event. For example, while I was setting up for a turn other riders would cut to the inside, then screw up their line leaving me and other riders to concentrate on accident avoidance rather than skill development. Riders often failed to yield right of way to fallen riders, often even roosting them as they tried to regain themselves. Late on the last day during the hill climb, there were multiple bike collisions, riders falling into trees and general mishaps. I would absolutely agree that learning to start a bike on a hill is a most useful tool, however, it would have seemed prudent to find a smaller incline to practice the start/stop hill exercise as most appeared to get through on luck and ignorance rather than true developed/mastered skills.
2) Breaks—Really need to encourage riders to take off their helmets and get off their bikes for rest/water. Need a mid-morning and mid-afternoon break. A lot of energy wasted on sitting on a bike, that could be used to learn techniques. Most riders were spent mid-afternoon. Lastly, with only one instructor, there was nobody to ride "drag". The novice slowpoke, was left to find my own way home off the trail multiple occasions.
3) Exercises are meant for training. However, need to provide riders more room to practice. The exercise with acceleration in the straight lines needs to provide riders with more room between lanes. The 4-circle exercise would have also benefited from moving the circles themselves away from each other.
4) It's tough to cater to advanced and novice riders, but the student to instructor ratio (16:1) made it difficult to provide consistent feedback to during exercises.
5) Recommend either adding a block to the registration form on experience or asking students to ensure students don't get overfaced. Although every rider needs to ride their own ride, you can surely get yourself in too deep quickly.

I will have to agree with Dorito in her assessment. I think the class is intended for people to improve their MX skills. Some of those skills transfer well into trail riding, but I think the "race" mentality doesn't. The class is also geared toward smaller bikes and so it is difficult to do some of the exercises on a bigger bike. For example trying to do a stoppie on my 625 was difficult and that is where I injured myself (I also don't think that drill was applicable to my riding style).
Please take my criticism with a grain of salt. Shane did an excellent job of teaching the class. I just think that maybe this class wasn't intended for me. Don't get me wrong I had a blast and learned some new skills that I will practice for the rest of my life as well as reinforcing others that I had already learned.
Tom_WR450F comments
Class - After taking the class I would submit that a fair amount of trail riding experience was needed to complete some of those exercises. I think Shane writes the FAQs to include as many prospective students as reasonably possible...but remember that he thinks its easy..."anyone can do it, just keep on the gas
Pain - I got to admit I now feel my inner thighs...and my forearms (i.e., arm pump).
Bruce - very good to hear your doing well...that was a scary moment for all of us! I guess the crunch you heard was the foam compressing in your helmet...a good lesson in NEVER ride an MC without all of the proper safety gear!
Pics - I really like the pics Dana and Bruce took! Particularly the one with all of us at the end of day 2....great meomories!
Racing - anyone want to race a Hare Scramble this Sunday...in DE...shouldnt be too difficult...I hope to get all of the repairs/maintance done on my bike in time. If not - then there is a race in WV on the 17th...it is a little more challenging though...I won my class that last time I raced, but they also life-flighted 3 guys out. All my amibitions are predicated on getting all the repairs/maintance done AND no major complaints from CINCHome/Daughters
THANK YOU ALL for making the weekend a great experience for me!

Wicomico Motorsports Park
in Southern Maryland hosted its inaugural
Shane Watts' Dirtwise Riding School
on April 2nd and 3rd, offering intensive instruction, practice, and feedback to 15 – 16 riders on many of the fundamental enduro techniques covered in Watts' advance rider series videos. The class attracted a mix of riders, skill levels, and bikes and provided a structured series of exercises over two days that in combination can help trail riders with speed, control, safety, and confidence. I was fortunate to have a chance to take the course at a park I ride a lot and with SMIB and other riders whom I'd met previously.
Anyone familiar with the Shane Watts'
advanced rider series videos
– not to mention the
for his riding school – will know precisely what he or she is in for when signing up for the class. Day 1 covers slow speed riding, proper braking, front wheel locking, flat turns, ruts, flat out acceleration, and stoppies. Day 2 builds on these techniques by adding low speed wheelies, grinding, log crossing, ascents and descents, and even ravines. The final day also included trailside instruction at key locations where these and other techniques could be applied successfully to challenging sections.
Instructional style
In terms of Watts himself, what you see is what you get. He's a former world champion enduro racer still in love with the sport, despite having turned it into a job instructing talented, mediocre, or, like me, knuckleheaded riders every weekend. His riding abilities are incredible and speak for themselves. As an instructor, he's genuinely great to be around – he's intelligent, charismatic, good humored, patient, and modest. He uses standard teaching techniques very effectively by first describing the skills, demonstrating them, and providing practice opportunities with clear feedback, tips, and encouragement. He constantly has an eye out for the safety of the group and will admonish missteps in a simple direct manner that achieves results. For Watts, a high priority for teaching the fundamentals is to promote safe, controlled, efficient, and fast riding. Frankly, he offers a rare combination of extraordinary riding and instructional skill that allows students the opportunity to push their own limits with adult supervision and in a manner that achieves results.
In-class experience
But don't be fooled: The class is challenging, even for more experienced riders. Prospective students would do well to familiarize themselves with Watt's videos – or even the trailer for the school – in order to have an accurate expectation of what to expect when they sign up for this enduro riding class targeted to moderate- to advanced-riders. Anyone who shows up expecting otherwise is fooling him or herself. The days are long, formal breaks are few, and the instruction takes place rain or shine. Bring hydration packs, cliff bars, and catch your breath at any of the many, at times long, sections when Watts is teaching a new skill. Dismount if resting on your bike doesn't work for you.
Some may still complain that there aren't enough bathroom or rest breaks. The fact is, students can always step out to relieve themselves, grab a snack or a drink, or pull their helmets to help cool down during instruction. Likewise, some may feel that they were pushed to try things that were well beyond them. In fact, Watts encouraged riders to self-select into different riding groups while on the warm-up trails, by selecting different sizes of logs for grinding practice, or choosing different areas to attempt during the log clearing exercises. And there's nothing stopping students from finding their own lines, attempting more proximal challenges, or sitting out sections. In fact, only about a third of the riders in our class attempted the ravine at the end of Day 2. Being in the class doesn't excuse students from thinking for themselves and making the class work for them. I saw no evidence that Watts thought any differently.
If you are thinking about taking the class, following are some Dos and Don'ts to consider:
…think this is a beginner's trails, motocross, or dual sport class. It is an enduro riding class taught by a former world champion enduro racer. While the skills may apply broadly, the aim here is to teach fundamentals for riding trails.
…expect 1:1 instruction. The ratio for our class was at best 1:16, and in other cases might be as low as 2:25. If you need specific help, seek it out. But don't expect to get individualized feedback at every turn. The numbers simply don't permit it.
…ride a bike that's new to you. Whether you're considering bringing a friend's bike or something you picked up the day before, don't do it. You need to know the bike you bring to class and to be confident on it in order to make the most of the training opportunities the class presents. Worse, you may even injure yourself. And for those tempted to lend a bike to a friend for a class like this, be sure to collect a deposit first. The trails and courses were littered in plastic and parts by the end of the weekend.
…overestimate your skill. If you are truly a beginner or a cautious intermediate rider, don't like the idea of picking up your bike 10 – 20 times a day, are unable to assist others, or otherwise think you are all that and a bag of chips, consider skipping the class this round. Get a training video and start building up from there. If you've never pulled a wheelie, aren't comfortable with riding beginner level trails like those at Wicomico, or have a bike that's more road-oriented than dirt, it may be best to find another class. Injuries and trailside mechanicals resulting from such overestimates are terrible for those directly involved, certainly, but they also affect everyone in the class.
…start by previewing the Dirtwise riding class trailers and videos. Doing so will help to manage expectations about the contents of the class, what kinds of bikers will likely attend, and what sort of gear to bring.
…push your limits, but not so far as to put yourself or others at risk. Showing up with a lighter, dirt-oriented bike that you know will enable you to push into the next skill level on many of the exercises. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, drop your bike, or swim in the mud like that rider in the trailer. It's all about learning.
…help others. Between Watts and the various riders, there were decades of riding experience in our class. It was good to see students sharing tips, helping each other when they'd fallen. Go, push yourself, but help others, too.
In the end, Watts provides a great overall experience in his enduro classes. He combines effective teaching, skill demonstration, practice sessions, and feedback in a manner that helps riders acquire new skills that will inevitably require hours of additional practice to master. And that's the point. By starting with the fundamentals and building up from there, Watts shows riders how to ride more quickly, safely, efficiently, and with more confidence. Personally, I can't wait to complete my repairs (lots of lost plastic), get past the soreness, and get back out where I can practice and then run trails. And of course, I can't wait to show my usual riding pals what I learned. They'll be just as shocked as I was. I just hope Wicomico will keep the logs around for us to practice on during our future visits to the park.

A theme of my senior year seems to be packing in all of my work during the week so that I can play on the weekends. This past weekend was no exception! Two of my friends and I made our way at 4 AM up to Aspen to ski at Snowmass for the day with one of the campus ministries we attend, The Annex. They were having their annual retreat that involves 80+ kids staying in the floor of a high school in Aspen, skiing for one day, and participating in an epic basketball tournament! Although skiing powder at Aspen Highlands on 4 hours of sleep was not my best idea, the weekend was still really awesome. My roommates and I got to all be on a team and we actually won a couple rounds of tournament! Once the other team realized our girls were our secret weapon... we quickly got marked and our team fell apart. Regardless, it was great bonding, and we won a cheer trophy for our spirit while cheering for other teams. I posted a picture of us with the trophy below!
Today marks National Pancake Day which is widely celebrated amongst breakfast restaurants in Boulder. My friend and I went to one of our favorite spots, Snooze, to try out their Pancake Day 2014 menu of over 8 different pancake styles in addition to their usual set of 5 options. I had a Blueberry Lemon Bar pancake and my friend had a Kings Cake pancake, both of which were delicious and fun way to start the day. It's fun to take advantage of those special days and deals of the year! Even though my past 5 days have had very little sleep, they've been packed with adventure, which is what I have come to realize college is all about :)
Cheer trophy, might have helped we barely slept, making our cheers that much better!

text: Created from footage captured during the filming of the PBS series Carrier, Another Day in Paradise explores the struggle waged by three men in various stages of fatherhood to serve their country while living and working in the harsh environment of an aircraft carrier, and constantly thinking of the loved ones they left behind. Doug Booher, Randy Brock, and Chris Altice are three of 5,000 sailors living onboard the USS Nimitz. Summoned from their families for a six-month deployment to the Persian Gulf, these men may perform disparate tasks yet they all have one thing in common -- they're all either parents, or expecting a child. By delving deep into the personal lives of all three, the filmmakers raise numerous questions about their work onboard the Nimitz, and the role of the Navy in times of war. A fighter pilot in the famed "Black Aces" squadron, Lt. Booher is attempting to balance his life and military career, no simple task for a man with a newborn back home. Meanwhile, tough-talking Gunnery Sergeant Brock repairs planes for the Marine squadron "The Red Devils" while pondering what kind of father he will be to the son who is born during his deployment. Abandoned at age three by his own parents, a pair of carnival workers, Sergeant Brock doesn't want to be an absent father. And while 21-year-old ordnance man Altice would rather be partying in a frat house than arming military jets for war, his responsibilities back home are about to take a giant leap; just before he left for the Persian Gulf, his new girlfriend revealed that she was pregnant. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Stoneside Blinds & ShadesRead MoreIt's not every day that online shopping includes as much personal attention as you get from Stoneside Blinds. In most areas, their online-shopping process starts off with a free house call from a designer, who helps clients pick out materials and styles for their window dressing. Once the client has made their choices, the company will send out teams to measure the window frames and, later, install the final product for a flat fee. Their handiwork, and the blinds themselves, are backed by a rigorous guarantee that lets customers change their minds within 30 days and safeguards against defects up to a year later, so customers never have to cover up faulty blinds with a poster of their backyard. The only online part of their signature process, really, is placing the order. Minutes after the order is placed, the team at the production warehouse gets to work making it a reality, whether it's roller shades in a custom fabric, sleek solar shades, or classic wooden blinds.137 National PlazaOxon Hill, MD US
Campbell and Ferrara NurseriesRead MoreSince 1945, this family-owned landscaping business and garden center has helped locals transform their yards into lush landscapes and bountiful gardens. The company's secret to longevity is enlisting a staff of passionate expert gardeners and cloning them to populate future generations. Among its members, the landscaping team shares almost 200 years of collective experience, with foremen holding between 12 and 20 years apiece. Company president James Campbell began cultivating his love of all things flora on a farm crew at age 14. In college, he studied ornamental horticulture and then spent four decades working at Campbell & Ferrara, ascending from crew member to foreman to president. You might get lost in the meandering paths of the indoor-outdoor garden center with 8 acres of trees, shrubs, and seasonal flowers. Thankfully, horticulturists and garden experts roam the grounds, ready to offer you directions and advice. To deter pests, for example, they'll tell you to plant a border of marigolds or a handful of sacrificial Skittles. Hand them a picture of your yard, and they'll predict which plants and flowers will likely thrive there. They also make DIY-ing easy by arranging over 1,000 trees and shrubs into user-friendly categories such as privacy screening, Virginia natives, and four-season. For customers who prefer an expert's help, landscapers offer degrees of assistance, ranging from installing customer-selected plants to completely redesigning yards with putting greens, outdoor kitchens, or waterfalls.6651 Little River TpkeAlexandria, VA US
ReunionsRead MoreReunions owner Barbara Geyer Watts describes her charming jewelry and gift boutique as "a blend of old and new where the merchandise changes daily."

And at Z Furniture, there are rooms and rooms of formal tables, funky couches, and chic bed frames that can set the tone of a new house. The stock contains everything from contemporary beds with clean lines to midcentury-style cabinets in muted browns and grays.

Can we do this off IRC?
I'm having more problems getting into these chat rooms, and I am getting really ancy since there has not been a Thunderdome for a while. Can we do this daily sketch group in a regular message board? I really don't see the point in having to chat. OR how about this....Once everyone chats about the topic for how ever long...it then gets posted on a forum for the rest of us who are computerly inept. I really like this daily sketch group idea, but I wish I could participate.

i don't know how you are supposed to type (chat) and draw at the same time anyhow? No if it was vocal..now that could be fun..that's what I do at work everyday! Talk shit and draw! LOL!
March 25th, 2003 #5
What you can do is at the time that the topic is given( look up times ) and come to this section and you'll see the topic. Yes, it is a lot better to talk about our stuff once we have finished on irc. For those that talk as they draw, well......they just type really fast! I'm sure you can do it otis, just follow davi's instructions!

Wrong. The log states exactly where the fault lies, the driver is unable to interpret the EDID provided by your monitor. Therefore it cannot compute / read valid modes, including resolutions, out of it.
However, the Linux driver seems to be more restrictive regarding EDIDs than the Windows counterpart, which in fact reads and interprets some EDID date the linux driver has problems with.
The suggestion was that I try loading the driver in Ubuntu 8.10, which they believe will solve the problem. I ran an 8.10 live disk session and installed the recommended driver (170), but this did not cure the fault, I still got low res graphics.
The solution would be one of the two solutions I proposed, which are, when applied correctly, guaranteed to work.
I have also come across references (
) to an alternative driver, called Nouveau. This is an Open Source project and is allegedly available via the repositories, although it doesn't appear when I do a Synaptic search. Has anyone heard of, or used this?
It has limited 3D support, no powersaving features and is missing other things as well. Even though it is on a good way, I would never recommend it to a standard user as a nvidia replacement. Maybe as a nv replacement, yes.

However he or she acknowledged another thing, as well. As well as Let me believe Ali noticed some thing associated with themself within Holyfield. 2 full decades taken off Zaire as well as Manila, minimal charismatic champ offers arrived at look like probably the most charismatic 1. Whenever you remove makeup associated with hoopla, a person start to realize the amount of Ali as well as Holyfield possess in keeping. Certain, when it comes to design these people could not happen to be much more various. Ali created a brand new method for heavyweights to maneuver and Nike AiR MaX SkO also to speak. He'd the mouth area to complement their movement. Through Ali leapt brand new idioms, bodily around spoken. He or she had been, in the end, the very first hip hop celebrity.

Funeral home director retires; son to take over
Larry Dutton, longtime funeral director and location manager of Dutton Funeral Home in Iowa Park, retired this year and handed the business reins to his son Lynn.
Larry Dutton began working in the funeral business in 1966 at an Electra funeral home while still in high school. Dutton joked that he and wife Norma had several "dates" at the funeral home, when he'd have to sit by the phone in case a family called that needed services.
Dutton graduated with honors Feb. 10, 1978, from Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science, and worked at several funeral home locations in Texas before purchasing Dutton Funeral Home in Iowa Park in 1989.
He served two terms on the school board of Burkburnett Independent School District and nine years on the Iowa Park CISD school board, Iowa Park Chamber of Commerce board of directors, Electra Chamber of Commerce board of directors and board of directors for the Better Business Bureau of North Texas, where he most recently served as Finance Chairman, and the Friendly Door Senior Citizens board of directors. He is a member of the Texas Funeral Directors Association, National Funeral Directors Association, Iowa Park Chamber of Commerce, Electra Chamber of Commerce and the Iowa Park Lions Club. He and his family are members of Life Tabernacle Church of Wichita Falls.
A retirement celebration will be 2-4 p.m. Saturday at the Dutton Chapel, 300 E. Cash St., Iowa Park.

The Sleepy Eye School Board filled a vacant seat on the board during it's first meeting of the new year this week. Keith Lendt was chosen to fill the Sleepy Eye School Board seat vacated by Kary Nelson, who is moving out of town. In other business on Wednesday, the board elected Sheila Sellner as clerk. Other board officers remained the same as last year. The board also heard an update on the possible move to a 4-day school week following site visits to a pair of districts that have already gone to a shorter week. Sleepy Eye School District officials will be holding public hearings on the possible shift to a four-day week next school year later this month. The meetings will take place from 6 to 8pm in the Sleepy Eye Elementary School gym on Wednesday, January 18th, Wednesday, January 25th and Monday, January 30th.

Movie Review: 'Step Up'
The pieces are all familiar. Muscular street-trained dancer (
But the question with movies like this isn't really if the
There's no denying that Dewan and Tatum are both athletic and fairly graceful onscreen. She looks fantastic in a leotard and he looks burly in a wife-beater, so that's nearly enough. Tatum has ample agility, but he's obviously untrained and no matter how much his character gets schooled on more formal dancing, he never meshes in any of the dance numbers. The stars blend decently when they're flailing their limbs, but when they're faced with the horribly earnest dialogue written by Duane Adler ("Save the Last Dance") and Melissa Rosenberg (
But again, first-time director (and veteran choreographer) Anne Fletcher keeps the beats pumping and the stars casually dressed. Plus, she spends as much time as possible in medium shots so that audiences can be assured that if they're enjoying the dancing -- stylistically somewhere between street and ballet without declaring an actual distinctive personality -- that's being done by the actors themselves, rather than "Flashdance"-style stunt feet.
There's a little bit of political and social commentary on the side. Tatum's character is a foster child and his relationship with his obviously unrelated foster sister (Alyson) is one of the movie's only points of effect sentiment. The movie also benefits from the decision to shoot on location in Baltimore, which gives the outside scenes a dash of grit. That edge could have been increased by casting some of the talented young stars of "The Wire." The only veteran of that superior HBO Baltimore-set drama to appear in "Step Up" is
Nobody is expecting the same level of urban realism for a cheesy dance movie as for HBO's finest series. And I understand that I'm just not part of the target audience for "Step Up." I only wish I'd spent less time in the theater giggling at the ridiculousness of the whole endeavor.

Customer Reviews
Warning: the other bot players are deeply autistic
Every card that's thrown by the game are pre determined based on a very simple but still flawed formula. This game contains absolutely 0 strategy, zilch. You win purely by the hand you are dealt. It's horrible. I gave this game a two star instead of one star because when i don't want my brain to function, i play hokm on this app. Get some real coders who know how to develop a good app. I'm not saying it's easy, but this is just so far away from being a good game of hokm.
Great game - sometimes makes strange moves !
The developer has done a great job but I can not figure out if some of the moves it makes is intended or a mistake. I have played this game with many good players but never encountered some of the moves my partners makes, like overriding my high card while it has other choices.
HOKM Pro
Both apps by this developer are very well made. HOKM is easy to learn and very fun! Be sure to check out this developer's other card game app, Dehla Pakad. It's similar to HOKM only the object of the game is to collect the 10's. I love playing both HOKM and Dehla Pakad so much!

I dial up into one of our data loggers, and ftp some files from it. I was wondering if there is a way to maintain the internet connection (connected through Ethernet / LAN)
The "route -p ... " will not work, because at the time of the reboot, the gateway address 126.96.36.199 is not reachable. You only can add the route, while the dial up connection is established. Any other suggestions? Is there a possibility that a static route is inactive, while the dial up connection is down, and gets active as soon as the dial up connection comes up?
I don't have a second connection to test this on, but try anyway. Post a comment if any step fails, or if I'm doing it entirely wrong.
Configure the network to only route some packets through the dial-up connection:

The NBA has announced a $25,000 fine for Chris Wilcox "for making an obscene gesture directed toward fans during a game." While the league didn't say what the specific incident was… I'm pretty sure this is what did it: Kiss cam ends with Chris Wilcox flipping off the camera man when he and Jared Sullinger put on board. — Chris Forsberg (@ESPNForsberg) December 8, 2012 Yeah… flip off 20,000 people on the road… you'll get popped by the league. To be fair, I'm pretty sure the bird wasn't directed at the fans. I'm pretty sure it was directed at the one guy with a camera on his shoulder. And $25k is a steep fine for a guy making the veteran minimum. It's not like he's KG, who probably had $25k in the change tray of his Range Rover. Oh well… Maybe KG will treat Wilcox to something worth $25k to make up for it.

Carefully Scripted Lives – The Real Reality of the Duggar Family "Blessings"

"The kids look happy and healthy," they say, "look how polite and well mannered they are." I hear these comments and I just have to sigh.First of all, I want to point out that I would have concerns about the Duggars even if they were your ordinary family plus seventeen extra children. For one thing, there is no way any two parents can give nineteen children the individual attention and time they need. It's just no … [Read more...]
