text: If you've got a brand-new 90 that you're still figuring out, or if you're looking to busy yourself learning a new aspect of your class before Warlords of Draenor, these might be of interest to you. It is nice to see a Blizzard-sponsored guide for specs such as the Balance druid, which I personally find annoyingly complicated to play, but I'm a bit puzzled by the extremely specific nature of the videos. Are there going to be further guides for tanking and healing specs? Or for the DPS specs not covered here, such as Affliction warlocks, Fury warriors, Feral druids, Subtlety rogues, and more? I think videos like this that come straight from the horse's mouth of Blizzard are a great idea, but it's strange to see a set of them that feels so incomplete. Still, if you're toying with the idea of learning one of the specs covered, the videos are a good place to start.

Moctoberfest is a month-long celebration of Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball. It includes historical moments, social media interactions and introduction to UTC's freshmen among the myriad of video tributes and stories.
Day Eight takes a look inside UTC's first NCAA Tournament win with video linked with thoughts from the "Voice of the Mocs" Jim Reynolds. The 58-51 triumph over North Carolina State in the 1982 Mideast Regional was not as close as the score would indicate.
The Mocs took control of the game from the outset scoring the game's first five points. In fact, UTC never trailed and the score was tied for just 12 seconds at 0-0 before Russ Schoene got the Mocs on the board.
Chattanooga took its first double-digit lead on two Stanford Strickland free throws with 5:26 left before intermission, 19-9. Willie White's jumper at 1:54 was the last tally of the half and sent the Mocs into the locker room with a 14-point cushion, 27-13.
The lead went to 16, then back to 11. It swelled to 20 after a 10-1 run put UTC up 40-20 with 8:52 remaining on a Strickland layup. It was a 20-point margin, 44-24 after Joe Johnson's layup at 7:16, but that's when the Wolfpack tried to make a move.
N.C. State legends Thurl Bailey, Lorenzo Charles, Sidney Lowe and Dereck Whittenburg combined to spark a run. Lowe's layup with 3:40 to play cut it to 10, 48-38 as free throw shooting began to plague the Mocs.
In the final seven minutes of the game, UTC missed seven free throws, including several front ends of one-and-ones to open the door for N.C. State to make it respectable. The Wolfpack closed to within six, on two Lowe free throws, but the Mocs would not fold.
White and Russ Schoene hit free throws in the final minute to hold off the 'Pack. Lowe hit a jumper in the final second to cut the final margin to seven in an otherwise dominating performance for the Mocs.
The story gets a little more special when you consider what N.C. State did the following year with basically the same cast. Charles and Whittenburg and Bailey and Lowe sparked the most memorable Cinderella run in the history of the "Big Dance" winning the 1983 National Championship. In his post-game comments, Jim Valvano proved prophetic.
"I was asked how our kids could be tight after going through the ACC Tournament, but the NCAA is a little different...this is an awful special thing," he stated. "You can write we played poorly or were coached poorly, but we didn't quit. I don't want to take anything away from Chattanooga. I told the kids to hang in there and make them win it at the foul line. N.C. State will be back in the NCAA Tournament next year."
Nick Morken and Schoene led the Mocs with 15 points apiece. White added 12 as the trio combined for 42 of the 61 points and 18 of the 29 rebounds led by Schoene's seven.
Lowe led all scorers with 21, 15 in the second half. Bailey chipped in 10 points and a game-high 11 boards.
UTC would go on to face Minnesota and future NBA starter Trent Tucker in the second round. The Mocs again led at the break, 36-34, and gave the Golden Gophers all they wanted throughout the contest leading by as many as eight in the second half.
Randy Breuer, another future NBA starter, sparked Minnesota's comeback and put the Gophers ahead 62-61 with just 55 seconds remaining. The score remained at that one-point margin down to the four-second mark with UTC calling timeout with the ball.
White drove and dished to Schoene in the short corner. Alas, his shot was just off the mark and Minnesota escaped with the 62-61 win thwarting Chattanooga's first attempt at reaching the Sweet 16.
Despite the deflating end, the 26-4 campaign was the best to date and put the Mocs on the map as one of the top mid-major programs in the country.
Chattanooga opens the season Monday, November 12, against Tennessee Temple in McKenzie Arena at 7 p.m. Season tickets for a school-record 18-game home slate are available. Call 266-MOCS (6627), go online here at GoMocs.com or stop by the Gate One McKenzie Arena Ticket Office.

Rated 4 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5�by BebeDiva Waist runs a bit small I purchased my regular size in these and they fit good but the waist runs just a bit small or would have given them 5 stars. They are cute and can be dressed up with a pair of tights and boots, that is how I am wearing them now and will also wear them in the summer. The material weight is perfect for all seasons. I waited till they went on-sale and they are definitely worth the wait! Hips and legs are true to size. Back to the gym for the waist! Just a little LOL. I do love them just to be clear.

I own a Nikon D700, which has in-camera support for taking time-lapse photos, but I need advice on the easiest and best software solutions for processing the resulting heap of images. I accept that the best software may not be the easiest, and vice versa. Open-source would be great, but I'm open to commercial solutions as well. I've tried Picasa's movie-making feature, but found it to be kludgy and missing many useful options. What do you recommend?
If you are on a Mac, one of the best ways is using Automator, which you can use to do basic cropping/editing and conversion to video (although this part usually requires Quicktime Pro).
There is a good walkthough here: How to Make a Time-Lapse Video from Stills
Also, a great open source solution is to use ffmpeg, but it is a much more technical path to take, so keep that in mind.
There are lots of examples out there, here's one example: Creating Time Lapse with ffmpeg
im just starting with timelapse photography as well and since ive had past experience with adobe products I found that after effects work really good and straight forward and if you are shooting raw lightroom is perfect for batch editing them before after effects.
Avidemux is a good tool for this purpose. Open source, free.
It is the easiest. Just open the first image from the folder in which you have the sequence. It automatically populates the rest for you! Then you have to export it as video.
You can also use Panolapse. It supports:
It is free for resolutions up to 1280x720.
I've been having good luck with Sequence (for Mac):
I've so far only used its more basic capabilities.
You answer lies in Lightroom and this free software plugin for lightroom http://lrtimelapse.com/
NOTE: this will only work for short timelapse segments. Anything over 500 images will make Lightroom crash.
The great thing about using lightroom for a timelapse is that you can easily crop,edit thousands of images with a simple click. You can then make a slideshow.
Here is a blog post that shows how to install the slideshow video templates for lightroom:
If you want to take your timelapse photography a step further you can make gradual changes and deflicker the timelapse within lightroom with the lrtimelapse plugin.
LRTimelapse will take your movies to the next level. It allows you to continuously change Adobe Lightroom or Camera RAW development parameters over the time enabling sort of key-frame animations like in video-processing. The great advantage over post processing in your favorite video production software is the way higher quality of pre processing on a RAW-file basis. Of course you can work with JPG as well.
Examples and use cases
I hope You scrolled this much down, because I found my final answer to this. There is a new kid in town it seems! It's called Time Lapse MovieMonkey and it's quite awesome! It did the job of creating my latest time lapse movie really really really fast. And I didn't have to read the instructions. It's simple and intuitive, but has enough advanced settings. And it's free (for real).
Check it out: http://www.appsforpeople.net/time-lapse-movie-maker-moviemonkey.html
Try Time-Lapse Tool Software for Windows. It provides lot of featuries such as:
(Note: I am affilated with Timelapse Tool.)
For Windows, you can use VirtualDub. It is free and open source.
To create a timelapse, you need all of your photos numbered in order, without any gaps in the sequence. Then just go to File > Open, and pick the first image. VirtualDub will then load all of the images.
To set the frame rate, go to Video menu > Frame rate. You can also add filters if you want to change the output video, on Video > Filters. If your photos are higher resolution than the output you want, you can use a resize filter. You can also use filters to crop if you don't want the whole frame.
You can set the compression on Video > Compression. The options available will depend on what codecs you have installed. You can just use uncompressed format, then use other software to compress it as required.
Then to save the video, use File > Save as AVI.
You could try Blender, it is open source but personally I think there would be a learning curve for it.
It also has video editing capabilities so if you aren't able to fork out for the commercial offerings it could be alternative for you.
Personally I find that using Adobe Premiere Pro to make timelapses is best for me. It offers super flexibility titles audio and the ability to mix in true video. Additionally you can create faux pans if you import your images larger than your video resolution.
Ha. Nobody mentioned free windows alternatives.
I've been using windows live movie maker with good results. It is as simple as dragging your pictures into the timeline, selecting them, setting a time for each (24 fps is around 0,04 seconds per picture) and exporting :)
(It auto-adds black vertical bars to your 3:2 or 4:3 aspect ratio pictures if you export to 16:9 HD video, but you may prefer cropping them beforehand. I've used image magick for windows for batch cropping - add a comment if you want more details about this)

Select Local Merchants
eMealsRead MoreEndorsed by financial author Dave Ramsey and highlighted on Oprah Winfrey's Life Lift blog, eMeals charts out a week's worth of dollar- and health-savvy dinner recipes to relieve the burden of kitchen-related stress. Each week, organized grocery lists based on food style, family size, and even grocery store showcase flavorful culinary creations for discerning palates. Plans developed by working parents capitalize on sale items at stores such as Walmart, Publix, and Kroger, and an "any store" list can be used to navigate the aisles of other favored grocers. Family meal plans serve seven meals for three to six people, whereas plans for two are tailored to singles, couples, or a pair of sock puppets on a date atop a chest of drawers. Special paleo, gluten-free, clean-eating, low-fat, and portion-controlled meal-plan options aid nongeneric eaters in assembling targets for their teeth and fitness regimens. The classic version of the Walmart family plan supplies culinary sustenance to families of three to six for an average weekly cost of $75?$85 and takes advantage of the store's regularly discounted prices. A duo can fill a Publix cart for $50?$60 a week, including side dishes. Born of founder Jane DeLaney's desire to feed her family stress-free dinners provisioned from an organized list without coupons, eMeals allows shoppers to spend more time at the table and less time wandering about the grocery store uttering monophonic 10th-century chants in dismay.3250 Mount Lehman RoadAbbotsford, BC CA
FeelgoodzRead MoreFeelgoodz flip-flops reflect a commitment to sustainable comfort that allows both feet and Mother Nature to breathe more easily. The company's laid-back philosophy shines through in flip-flop designs made for everyday relaxation, but the laissez-faire attitude stops when it comes to a business model that emphasizes eco-friendly practices from extraction to disposal. Simplicity sets the tone for men's and women's flops such as the Moonlight and Ash, both emblematic of Feelgoodz's signature two-color palette. Flops are compressed with high heat to achieve a level of comfort that graduates from cotton candy to kitten fur as they stretch to conform to feet over time. After countless beachside strolls and urban meanderings, flops can be returned to Feelgoodz via the unFlop recycling initiative, which is designed to cut up and repurpose old flops as bedding in compost bins. After brief careers at a record shop and hot-dog stand, Feelgoodz founder Kyle Berner traveled to Thailand in an effort to satiate his existential thirst for meaning and open-toed footwear. Inspired by the local culture and population, Kyle built a business to enact positive social change and promote foot-smacking symphonies across the world. Years later, the Certified B Corporation carries on this vision by donating a portion of all 2011 sales to Pencils of Promise, an organization focused on building education infrastructure in the developing world.3250 Mount Lehman RoadAbbotsford, BC CA
ThreadlessRead Morefacet: Main type: Traditional locale: en_US title: Threadless facet_type_id: 89daadb0-5f38-1032-bffd-dc9d72379469 html_text: |- Wanting to further the careers of other artists he knew, Jake Nickell set up a competition-based T-shirt-design company in his small apartment to give those artists a chance to make their art and get paid while doing it. Today, the small design startup has expanded into Threadless, a virtual boutique showcasing artsy apparel and accessories from designers all over the globe. Each week, guest artists and illustrators submit designs depicting pop-culture references, animals, folk art, and vibrant abstract works, leaving it up to the online community to vote on which entries will populate the shop's menagerie of merch ranging from T-shirts and hoodies to bags, laptop cases, and umbrellas. In addition to printing their work, Threadless honours artists with awards for designers in various categories, as well as a Made By program highlighting artists who've developed a following in the community or discovered the whereabouts of Van Gogh's middle-school diaries. Store staffers also award scholarships to hardworking designers and present Design Challenges to focus submitting artists on a central theme or aesthetic style. At Threadless Atrium, they collaborate with charities and other outside organizations to gather eclectic art submissions that currently benefit the American Cancer Society and Disney Villains.3250 Mount Lehman RoadAbbotsford, BC CN

The Book ManRead MoreAt The Book Man's two locations, half a million used books beckon to readers, impeccably organized into 72 categories on deep shelves and in spacious drawers. Family owned and operated by a daughter and father team, Amber and book man David illuminate wordy wares with full-spectrum lighting, which helps browsers find a specific book or take a peek at the first sentences of an unfamiliar tome. Although they stock plenty of well-known classics and bestsellers, one of David's favourite aspects of owning a bookstore is stocking unusual treasures. "That's the whole fun of the bookstore," he says, "finding those things that people didn't know they were looking for until they see it." Amber boasts 20-plus years of experience, oversees inventory databasing, and drives the internet and mail order aspect of their business, allowing customers to contact The Book Man and order books to be placed on hold. Praised as a local gem by Fraser Valley Pulse, the shop has won awards for Best Bookstore in Chilliwack with its comfortable environment. The store's unique, reader-friendly spirit has two mascots in store cats Nietzsche and Gatsby, who stalk the shelves of both stores and greet favoured guests with mewling demands to be petted.

Best Uses
This was exactly what I was looking for. I needed tall and sturdy supports for containers of honeysuckle and jasmine vines. This trellis was just the ticket. It's easy to put together, sturdy and heavy so it will support the vines, and it looks very nice on top of that. I love them.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
I would rather this had been one piece instead of many pieces you had to put together. I didn't use the feet but rather pushed it into the ground. I also thought it was going to have that twisted iron look instead of being smooth. It wasn't quite what I had hoped for but it looks nice in the flower bed.

As a child of the 60's, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when I found this item! It is absolutely the perfect item for my backyard!! I just got it set up last week (so easy to put together, took 5 minutes) and planted a Clematis at it's base yesterday. It will be breathtaking when the vine grows around it. In the meantime, I have a great Object d'art in my yard that will be the envy of my friends when they see it!

Which Star Just Donated $75,000 to Help a Cop's Cancer-Stricken 10-Year-Old Daughter?
How about some winning! good news?
Charlie Sheen just loves giving people money — maybe it's his karma relief plan. He reportedly gave Lindsay Lohan $100,000 to help end her tax debt ,and now TMZ says he's helped Jasmine, a 10-year-old girl with Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma.
She's the daughter of a Hermosa Beach police officer, and after Charlie heard about her story from another cop, he decided to help. Mr. Tiger Blood wrote a check for $75,000 to the Hermosa Beach Police Association, which started a cancer fund in Jasmine's honor. TMZ says his stunt double, Eddie Braun, also provided a check for $25,000.
So that's nice. Yes, Charlie makes millions, and it's a little sad to think he maybe gave Lindsay more than this girl, but a good deed is a good deed. Let Charlie inspire you (in this way only — not in all the other crazy stuff he does)!

During the Lansing Board of Aldermen meeting on Monday, it was revealed the owners of the old Lansing School building have offered to sell the building to Greater Lansing Area Development (GLAD) for $240,000.
"If nobody does anything with the school, it will continue to deteriorate until it has to be torn down," said Dylan Lightfoot, who mentioned the proposed sell during the public comment section of the meeting.
According to Lightfoot, the current proprietors have owned the building for eight years, and "haven't done anything with it." He also called the building "the architectural centerpiece" of the community.
The Lansing School building could have several practical uses for the community. During a discussion between the aldermen, it was said Lansing Town Hall could be relocated into the old school building, and the school could hold weddings and other gatherings.
Lightfoot suggested the community start a fundraiser to assist GLAD in purchasing the building. He also said this news had just been delivered to him, and he had no other details at the time.
Police officer
Another issue was brought to the surface during public comment. Lansing Alderman Brenda Reeves said Jimmy Hendrix, the security guard at Ashe County Hospital, volunteered to be a town police officer in Lansing.
According to Reeves, Hendrix could help oversee a newly-formed police department, help with the paperwork, and Hendrix may have connections to reasonably-priced police cars for the town.
"This is the ideal time," said Reeves about hiring a town officer.
According to the board, a town police officer position cannot be a volunteer position, it must be a part-time paid position.
Still, a town police officer could help combat two of the major problems facing the Lansing community, speeding and parking.
"Speeding has become a huge problem. When people come through town, they don't slow down at all. Our speed limit is 20 mph, and they drive through at anywhere from 50-70 mph," said Bernice Prestwood, Lansing's town manager on Tuesday, Jan. 14.
Having a police officer in town could prevent drivers from speeding, but issuing the tickets themselves could provide a boost to the town's funds.
The town's parking violations, another issue that could be resolved by an officer, was also brought up during Monday's meeting. Lansing Mayor George Rembert agreed with the aldermen that parking would become tight during the summer months.
"No one is trying to find a place to park in the winter; the spring and summer are different," said Rembert.
The town already has an ordinance that applies to cars parked on public property for more than 48 hours.
"Our ordinance says we will put a sticker on it, and if it's not moved in seven days, we'll tow it," said Rembert.
Adding a town officer could make the process easier. The officer could focus on people who speed through town, and also focus on applying stickers to illegally-parked vehicles.
The board considered other items during the meeting:
- In a 4-0 vote, the town granted Ann Rose the option to get rid of a parking space in front of her new business, Rose Mountain Butcher Shoppe, because it affected the insurance for her business. In return, Rose agreed to add two additional parking spaces next to her business.
- The board members agreed they would like the "Goodwill Trailer" to be moved onto town property. The aldermen agreed the trailer is for a good cause, is a part-time job for a local, and will drive traffic to Lansing. "The keystone of our economic plan is to get people to stop for second," said Lightfoot.

Light From The Lake
"Light from the Lake" is a blog about the inspirational people of Our Lady of the Lake University. It is about students who serve their community, alumni who shape the city, faculty and staff who influence the next generation of leaders, and the Congregation of Divine Providence that founded and sponsors OLLU today. It is about a University community that turned a four-alarm fire in 2008 into a catalyst for growth and renewal. The blog is written by Ken Rodriguez, an award-winning journalist and marketer at OLLU and freelance writer.

Heart and Honor
Abigail Valencia worked every day for 55 years at Our Lady of the Lake University as if her job were on the line. It never was. She arrived at The Lake in 1957, when the school was a college and before it became co-educational, and developed a legendary work ethic in housekeeping services.
She did not want to take days off — "Who is going to water the plants if I'm not here?" — and had to be forced to go on vacation. Supervisors would plead with her to go home.[Read More]

Small hatchbacks and crossover SUVs typically prioritize mundane things like practicality and fuel economy. But these days, there are choices on hand to satisfy car shoppers with more whimsical leanings. One of the more dramatic examples of this is the Nissan Juke.
This four-door cross between a hatchback and small crossover SUV comes with no shortage of personality. It all starts with the Juke's polarizing styling. Some find it sporty-looking and distinctive, while others have compared it to a horned lizard. We'll leave it to you to form your own opinions. But with endearing attributes such as brisk performance and sharp handling, you may find yourself falling for this funky ride.
Current Nissan Juke
The Nissan Juke is similar in size to some of Nissan's other small cars such as the Cube and Versa. But its taller profile and available all-wheel drive can also make it seem similar to some small crossover SUVs.
Under the skin, the Nissan Juke packs a few surprises. A small 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine is standard, but thanks to turbocharging, it cranks out a strong 188 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. The Juke Nismo is equipped with the same engine, but here it has been tuned to produce 197 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. Transmission choices are either a six-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). With the optional all-wheel-drive system, the CVT comes standard.
There are four trim levels for the Juke: base S, well-equipped SV and SL, and the sport-themed Nismo. Standard equipment on the entry-level S model includes 17-inch wheels, air-conditioning, full power accessories, cruise control, a tilt-only steering wheel, Bluetooth and a six-speaker sound system. The midrange SV adds a sunroof, keyless entry/ignition, automatic climate control and configurable drive settings (the Juke's "I-Con" feature).
The Juke Nismo is slightly more powerful and also has a sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch wheels with summer tires, unique exterior and interior styling details, and front sport seats. A Navigation package with a touchscreen interface, a rearview camera and a Rockford Fosgate sound system is optional for the SV and Nismo. The SL reverts back to the SV's equipment but comes standard with the options listed above, plus leather upholstery and heated front seats.
In reviews, we've found that the Nissan Juke is very fun to drive. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine is energetic and is capable of brisk acceleration. With the available I-Con driving settings, the driver can also vary the engine and CVT's responsiveness greatly. Get the Juke on a serpentine stretch of road and it's in its element, happily shooting from corner to corner thanks to its sporty suspension tuning and big (for a car this size) tires.
On the downside, the Juke does give away some practicality in its quest for style and performance. On rougher pavement, the Juke feels a little stiff-legged compared to its family-oriented rivals. The cabin also fills with a fair amount of wind and road noise on the highway, though most buyers should find it tolerable enough.
There's also a cargo-capacity deficit to deal with, since the Juke has much less room behind the second row than most other small crossovers or wagons you might consider. Additionally, its sloping roof line translates into tight headroom for backseat passengers and poor outward visibility.
Ultimately, though, young drivers (or the young at heart) who are less concerned with practicality than having fun should find a lot to like in the Nissan Juke.
Used Nissan Juke Models
The Nissan Juke debuted for the 2011 model year. The Nismo arrived for 2013, as did a revised Navigation package that added a rearview camera and Rockford Fosgate audio.

Collecting photographs has been a Haverford tradition since 1870. Today, a Class One circulating photographic research library augments a 5,000-print photography collection representing more than 500 photographers spanning the medium's history. The College's Special Collections also contains related materials consisting of manuscripts, letters and first editions by prominent figures in the history of photography, such as Daguerre, Talbot, Alfred Stieglitz, Francis Frith and Maxfield Parrish (Haverford Class of 1892).
Since 1995, Michael Fogel, Haverford Class of 1958, and his son, Rafael Fogel, Class of 1992, have been providing funds for the acquisition of fine art photographs to add to the College's collection. The result of this sustained giving is a group of 49 works by 38 photographers spanning the history of the medium from its maturation in the 19th century to the present day. When seen together, these purchases constitute a collection within a collection that mirrors a wide range of photographic genres from travel, to portraiture, to conceptual and post-modern work.
The Fogel funds have been used to acquire works that have enriched Haverford's encyclopedic collection by allowing it to grow in new directions and to augment its considerable core strengths.

Bad purchase

SO soft!
This feels like a high end luxurious duvet with a cover. It washes well and looks great. The cover is silky soft. Only complaint is that it is very hot! Living in California, that might be more of an issue than for someone in a cold winter climate. It could be perfect for those who like to be warmer when sleeping.Read More

Great choice
It is very nice quality. Soft and comfortable. Bought it for a teenagers room and she loved it. The colors are just what you see on the internet. So far all my purchases from Overstock have been a good experience and I am not a big internet purchaser. i would definitly recommend the purchase.Read More
Poor quality
I purchased this for my 7 yr old daughter in anticipation of re-doing her room. She was so excited to receive it and we were just as deflated when we investigated. The fabric is beautiful to look at but very thin and feels very cheap. The comforter also looks as though it has not been finished, as the top fabric is stitched to the filling at random places and otherwise you can lift it up to separate all three layers. I've never seen anything like it -- it looks like they stopped sewing to take a break and accidentally sent it out for sale instead. It looks like the whole thing will turn into a mess if you kept and used it. We are returning it asap. My daughter is so disappointed.Read More
Very Nice Comforter
I purchased this for our 11 y/o daughter's bedroom. I am very happy with the colors and it goes very well with a lime green desk & hutch in her room. It's the perfect color/style for a pre-teen (not too little girly). The comforter is not very thick so a blanket is needed in winter time. Should be great for summer. I purchased a white ruffle bedskirt and the ensemble looks very nice. Love the matching pillow too.Read More
Great product for price paid
product works great for a dorm room but I wouldn't recommend it for any other type of usage.Read More
Very Poor Quality
The colors are great and the accent pillow is very cute but due to the fact that I am very afraid of how this comforter will wash up, we are sending it back. My daughter loves it and is very upset with me that I have to send it back but the quality is sooo poor. The quilting inside is a thin layer of cheap fill and it is not sewn into the material so I am fearful that I will have a large blob inside the two layers of material when we wash the comforter. Unfortunately, I don't think it is even worth the low price..Read More

SHREWSBURY, Mass. - Shrewsbury weather specialist Jim Arnold says we could see light snow, rain, sleet, and freezing rain coming soon to central Massachusetts.
Arnold said he expected temperatures to drop slightly the next few days.
"We are likely to see a couple small, nuisance-type disturbances, sandwiched around a potentially strong coastal storm, impact our area with a variety of winter-type precipitation," he said.
He said he expected slippery precipitation to hit in time for the Patriots' game Sunday night and move off, making way for cold and cloudy weather Monday morning with a few possible flurries. Then things could get worse.
Arnold is tracking a coastal storm that could generate moderate to heavy snow Monday night into Tuesday, with lighter, wintry precipitation likely through Wednesday.
Temperatures throughout the period should remain in the high 20s to mid-30s. Winds should not be a factor in central Massachusetts, Arnold said, although coastal areas may get hit with 40 mph sustained winds, with some minor splashover/flooding at the time of high tide.
"Snow depths in our area should range from a coating to less than 2 inches from the minor disturbances on either side of the coastal storm," Arnold said. "I do expect significant snowfall from the coastal storm, perhaps in the range of 4 to 8 inches at this point. This event is a long way off, and a lot can change in the next few days."

Winter inspired snowflakes and snowmen, made of fabrics, wood or paper are excellent decorating ideas for any Christmas or New Year's Eve party. Christmas lights, miniature Christmas trees and seasonal flowers will bring magic to your winter holiday décor, filling your home with joyful spirit.
There are many different window decorating ideas for your Christmas and New Year's Eve party. Garlands, cookies, candies and jingle bells are marvelous winter decorations for a window. Today we'll look at two easy yet beautiful garlands to hang from your windows. To make the garland pictured above, you'll need a length of ribbon that is thin enough to thread through the ornament hooks yet strong enough to hold the weight of quite a few ornaments string a variety of ornaments onto the ribbon moving them around to give you a a nice chunky look. If your window is wide, you may want to try making the garland in three smaller lengths making it easier to arrange them, the ornaments get a little unwieldy once you've gotten a bunch on the ribbon. You'll probably need about 40-50 ornaments per three-foot length.
An easy, but very pretty garland to hang from your curtain rod is one made from paper stars, jingle bells, and twine or yarn. That's all, just three things. Trace and cut out paper stars using a star template or die from decorative paper. Fold the creases from each star point to the center and pinch on the front using a bone folder or ruler. The key is to have nice sharp creases. Punch 2 holes at the top of each star. Thread the twine and jingle bells through the holes with a big yarn needle and hang them from your curtain rod. Mine are hanging serendipitously from a ONA Wrought Iron Star Finial. I know! Cool. Cheerful. Joyful, done

An "adversarial" relationship between the Department of Energy and Parsons, the prime contractor constructing a vital facility cleanup facility at the Savannah River Site, must be remedied, according to a report just released.
DOE's Office of Enforcement and Oversight conducted an independent assessment of safety culture at the Salt Waste Processing Facility Project being constructed at the Savannah River Site.
Despite earning praise for safety work, the report found major problems in the relationship between DOE and Parsons personnel.
"The consistently negative perceptions by individuals expressed in interviews, focus groups and in the electronic survey data regarding many of the behaviors and processes being implemented by Parsons is resulting in an adversarial relationship between the parties," the report reads.
The primary objective of this evaluation was analyzing safety culture on the SWPF Project. The assessment occurred from August to September 2012, but has just been made public.
The SWPF Project is headed by Parsons and is to construct a facility that will process liquid wastes from 47 underground tanks at SRS. When operational, the facility will separate highly radioactive compounds from salt solutions.
The facility was scheduled to open in 2015, but could be delayed for several years, according to industry estimates. These delays, and budget pressures, are named as contributing factors to the disharmony, the report states.
"Many interviewees described feeling a lot of time pressure often with unrealistic schedules to get things done quickly," the report states. "Priorities are perceived to be constantly shifting, often with no explanation as to why they are changing."
Efforts to improve the relationship suggested by the report include a change in management.
"The relationship between all of the stakeholders involved in the SWPF Project must be re-evaluated and cooperation needs to be facilitated, perhaps through the use of independent parties," the report concludes. "As this Project moves toward the commissioning and operational phases, the impact of the damaged relationships must be minimized in the interest of the success and safe operation of the facility. In order to ensure that the organizations can be successful, a level of trust and respect must be reestablished. Changes in the management and processes related specifically to the SWPF Project may be required."

Team raises money for Owens baseball player who lost parentsWritten by Brandi Barhite | Community Ombudsman | firstname.lastname@example.com
Teams sometimes seem like family. Other times, they are family. Owens Community College baseball player Michael Finch is realizing the latter after losing both of his parents in less than two months.
His mother, Wanda, was diagnosed with lung and bone cancers while he was home in Norwalk during winter break. She started chemo the week he returned to school with doctors saying it was treatable, depending on how the chemo went.
That week, Finch talked to his 56-year-old mom and learned that "chemo kicked her butt." In a few days, she was in the hospital. Then his sister, Ellen, called to say, "Mom isn't doing good."
Finch rushed home. By Jan. 17, "She was done, she wasn't my mom; she passed that night."
"If I didn't think it was curable, I wouldn't have gone back to school so soon. It was a shocker that it happened so quickly," he said.
His team rallied around the pitcher and outfielder.
"I wouldn't be where I am today without them," Finch said. "The whole team came to the showing. I appreciated it. They were there for me every step of the way and welcomed me back. They had my back. It was a relief to have people in my life like that."
One week later, the 19-year-old was back at Owens. His dad, Charles, insisted that he continue to play and get an education.
On March 6, while at spring training in Panama City, Fla., he talked to his father, who was proud that Finch would be pitching in the game that night.
Later that day, his 17-year-old sister, Ellen, called to say she had found their dad dead in the kitchen. He was lying on his back with his head through the wall. The 62-year-old had diabetes-related health problems, but his cause of death is unknown.
"I never expected to hear that," Finch said of the news he got on the beach.
He fell to his knees. Both of his parents were gone in less than two months. It was just he and his sister now —and his team.
Head coach Devin Taylor said getting the news about Finch's dad was horrific. It was game day for the players. The team was supposed to play at 9 a.m., but rain pushed the game to 5 p.m. When Finch called him, the players were hanging out on the beach and the coaches were at lunch. He said, "Coach, my dad is dead."
The whole team hurried back to the condo. Finch still wanted to play the game that night.
"We got everyone together after we got back to the condo. I talked to Michael one-on-one about getting him a flight back to Ohio or we would rent a car and drive him."
But he wanted to play because he knew that would be his dad's wish.
"That is a hard decision to make as a coach. I thought about it for a while. I called the rest of the team into the condo and told everyone what Michael wanted to do. Everyone wanted to play."
Although the team lost 9-8, the coming weeks would be the true judge of the team's worth.
"This is his family. That is part of my philosophy," Taylor said. "Being a family within a team, relying on each other through the ups and downs. This team has done a good job of supporting Michael and his situation."
Kelly Skender of Illinois decided to start raising money for Finch and his sister, who is living with an uncle. Skender's son, Alec, is Finch's teammate.
"I was trying to think about how to help them with their situation. The most thing I could think of was trying to get money."
The goal is to raise $50,000, which Skender knows is high, but "you have to shoot high and keep rolling with it."
Finch plans to pay off his parents' house with family savings. He had the option to sell the house, but wanted to keep it. He wants to live there during summer break and, hopefully, spend time with his sister.
"I have to set an example for her. I can't just be weak," he said.
Taylor said he is trying to share Finch's story because with the money Finch wants to send his sister to college.
"I think once people hear their story, they will want to help this young man and sister," Taylor said.
Finch isn't on scholarship at Owens; he is a walk-on.
"Michael is from a smaller area and last year was my first year here at Owens," Taylor said. "Our recruiting process with him was late. Ability-wise, he is probably a scholarship, but he chose to play here anyway."
Taylor said Finch is a natural athlete who has great composure. He has a passion for the game with an equally strong arm.
"His personality really drew me to him. He was a great young man. He was smart and had a desire to pursue an education."
Alyssa Lassey, a basketball player at Owens, put Finch's name on her tennis shoes after hearing about his dad's death.
Lassey said nearly every Owens athlete is helping with the fundraiser. Even alum are spreading the word and donating.
"I think it is good that Michael is here; he is still playing baseball and still around everyone. He can be with us and keep his mind off of it."
Taylor said baseball is played to escape reality. This has helped Finch whose reality is harder than most.
"We are his family now," Taylor said.

I have a hard time believing you there Ed.. Nine more fights seems a bit much for Anderson's pace.
Manager: Anderson Silva anxious to reclaim UFC belt, will fulfill contract
"Anderson seems to be taking it pretty well, but it's definitely on his mind," Soares told "Inside MMA" on Friday. "I know that he's eager to get back in there and do it again and get his belt back."
Despite the defeat and his advancing age, Silva, who signed a new 10-fight deal prior to the first Weidman fight, plans to fulfill the contract, Soares said.
"[He] will fight out the nine fights on his contract, but his next fight will be against Chris Weidman," he said.
Silva was promised an immediate rematch if he lost his title. Additionally, since Silva's clowning and posturing played at least a part in the defeat, Weidman is probably anxious to scored a second victory to prove the doubters wrong. The bout's potential is so big that it actually bounced a planned headliner between UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and challenger Miesha Tate (13-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) to co-headliner status at UFC 168.
But Ray Longo, Weidman's head trainer, told "Inside MMA" the second bout won't be unlike the first.
"He wants to prove at all these people, some of the naysayers, this wasn't an accident, and I think the rematch will end worse than the first fight did (for Silva)," Longo said.

And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
Ofcourse Ray Longo would say that. If he didn't he should be fired.
Anderson Silva:
Best Fighter on the planet.
1 loss.
Suddenly, Anderson is washed up.
Fairweather fans.
I really believe Silva will beat the hell out of Weidman.

Quilt without a pattern and explore the world of fiber art with author and teacher Wendy Butler Berns. You'll learn to see your world through the eyes of an artist, and communicate your vision through fiber. The author of Photo Album Quilts and a frequent exhibitor at shows around the country, Wendy Butler Berns has taught hundreds of quilters like you how to express feelings and ideas through the quilting process. You'll learn the essentials of design and bring them into your work, adding spontaneity and playfulness. You'll use free-motion quilting to doodle with an unbelievable variety of thread options, adding textural elements with techniques like yarn couching and bobbin drawing. And you'll learn dozens of practical techniques, creative ideas and troubleshooting tips you can use in any quilting project.
Meet your instructor, Wendy Butler Berns, as she introduces you to the fascinating world of creating art quilts with a combination of originality, spontaneity and inspiration.
Art quilts are about playing, combining colors, shapes and textures. Wendy will walk you through what you need to create your masterpiece, from selecting the background materials to applying fusible webbing to your design pieces. Then arrange, re-arrange and learn to play again on your quilt.
It's time to doodle; not just on paper, but also with thread and yarn. You will be introduced to free-motion quilting, the process of moving around your quilt with colorful and unique thread to bring out your creativity.
Beware: This session will cause addiction to thread! Learn the best sewing thread to use to attach the design elements to your quilt. Then see the vast array of threads to add color, shine, design and texture to your artwork. Wendy also talks about bobbins, needles and general troubleshooting while quilting.
Now it is time to add texture and depth to your quilt pieces. Go beyond standard thread designs with yarn couching and bobbin drawing to make your pieces pop. Create a collage to add interest and definition to a section of the quilt.
Wendy reviews some of the principles of artistic design to help you incorporate drama and interest into your art quilts. She reviews the aspects of balance, unity and variety, and shows examples of how these are used in other artists' work.
Wendy gives you guidelines on whether to add a border, binding or other finishing technique. Then follow her step-by-step methods for adding a border, such as auditioning materials and squaring up the quilt.
After deciding on the batting and backing, learn techniques to machine quilt all the layers together. Learn how to prepare and attach the binding to your quilt and a rod pocket hanger for a wall quilt. Finalize your masterpiece by adding a quilt label.
You are not limited to a fabric binding for your quilt. Learn some novelty finishing techniques, such as yarn bindings and zigzag edging, while creating quilted postcards. You can even mail them to your friends to show off your artistic talents.
"Wendy Butler Berns has a wealth of knowledge of different techniques, textiles and color. I've been quilting for 15 years and I learned something from each lesson of this class. Her samples and finished projects are inspirational and an expression of art from 'within Wendy.' She encouraged me to take what she's shown me and create an expression of art from 'within myself.' I have been given permission for self-expression, educated and set free to explore quilting in a new way."

I would like to get a Colt AR 15. I don't know much about building one. I see the cost for one is about 1.2K. What is the cost to build and how involved is the build? I guess under these conditions sooner is better then later.
I would like to get a Colt AR 15. I don't know much about building one. I see the cost for one is about 1.2K. What is the cost to build and how involved is the build? I guess under these conditions sooner is better then later.
If you can tighten a screw and hammer in a roll pin you can handle putting an ar15 together. Most of the kits now have the barrel already screwed into the upper receiver which is the only thing you need a specialized $25 wrench for. It can be a lot cheaper to put one together yourself. Its not hard to put one together for as low as $550-650 ish (for non colt) depending on what model and who you get your kit and receiver from.
Is it possible to get a colt made reciever to build on? Is colt the best qualitity?
I've seen the colt receivers for sale and they are very good quality as you'd expect from colt. But the problem you'll run into is you're paying for the colt name and the colt receivers I've seen for sale were around the $300 mark. I'd be more picky about the barrel and the bolt/carrier assembly rather than who made the lower. There are some older lowers out there that people have had problems with, but stick with a well known name and you shouldn't have any trouble. I have put together guns using lowers by: eagle arms; DPMS; Olympic;and bushmaster. I didn't run into any problems with any of the lowers on those guns. I'd stay away from the cast receivers and stick with a forged or billet one.
Might want to go visit over at;
There is a huge abundance of information regarding AR15 rifles including products, building, who are the best vendors to buy from on and on and on.
There are folks here at Gunco that know a great deal on the subject, and in addition, AR15.com is an excellent source for all that is AR15. Great source for all.
Did I do that?
There is a wealth of info at ar15.com. like Illya Kuryakin said, its well worth checking out. Toten Kopf on this sight is making a cd on building the ar15 http://www.gunco.net/forums/f262/ar1...l-parts-40265/
It took me about 10-15 minutes to put this together. Del-Ton upper with a DoubleStar lower. Total cost $575.00
It shoots great, no problems. It's not a $1500.00 laser guided, bo-shanked, fully encapsulated, red dotted, SEAL tested, M4 but I don't need all that stuff. Just a good shooting carbine.
And yes, I'm working off saw horses, as my shop is in progress and the "real" work benches aren't set up yet (I hate working like this!!).
This is the rifle/carbine that I'll be using for my CD. It will be disassembled down to iddy-bitty pieces and then re-assembled for the CD. Loads of fun here.

Oh, I have had/fired many different brands from Colt to Bushmaster to DPMS to Olympic Arms (SGW) to DoubleStar and really didn't notice any difference between them (except the price).
Of course when you start to get into match grade stuff, well, some items are very superior to others. Like triggers, barrels, sights and what not. In this category, you can spend $300+ for a trigger, $700+ for a barrel, and $350+ for sights.
I have a "match" AR15 in 6x45 caliber and I don't want to remember how much I have into it. But it will punch out the "X" ring at 600 yards and that is what it was designed to do. Even though it is very accurate, I wouldn't want to have to carry it around out in the field, it's just to heavy.

Rockriverarms is getting as expensive as Colt almost now. However, a complete 5.56, AR15 is the least expensive to make up.
But, I would do something up now.
i've built two so far, one dpms & one cmmg. both of them from stripped receivers, stripped uppers, and barrels. my dpms is a a3 m4 16" hbar it was my first ar build and gave me alot of satisfaction by building it myself. stock without all the extra goodies i only spent $750.00 i've put another $350.00 into it with flip up front and rear sights and two piece quad rail hand gaurd. i'am planning to install a carbine length free float tube on it instead of the two piece and a aimpoint scope.

UFC president Dana White finally saw Hall in a new and not unkind light - he's too nice to be a fighter.
"I love Uriah Hall," said White post fight. "I have a great relationship with this kid. He's one of the nicest human beings you can ever meet. He's not a fighter, man."
"If I could take Brad Pickett's brain and heart and put it inside Uriah Hall's body, holy s--- there would be some damage done. Because Uriah Hall has all the physical attributes to be amazing. He's got speed, he's got power, he's unbelievable. He doesn't have what it mentally takes to fight here... That was a high-five competition.
"Listen, you're a nice guy. I get it. We're not here to f---ing high five. We're not here to shake hands. You do all that s--- when the fight's over. You're here to fight."
"Uriah is so nice, he makes the other really guy nice."
"He was this killer that everybody was afraid of on 'TUF.' Then he comes in to the big show, where it all really matters and where this is going to make your livelihood and everything else, and he turns into this different person, this super-nice guy.
"He was telling me when I talked to him after 'TUF' like, 'You know, I just really like him (Gastelum) He's a really nice guy.' OK. Well that really nice guy just took every f---ing thing you ever wanted. Do you understand what I'm saying to you?"
"One of the things I love about this sport is the sportsmanship that is displayed sometimes before, during, and after a fight, but it gets to a point where it gets ridiculous. That's not what people are sitting home to watch, that's not what people paid to come into this building to watch, hug and high five and all that."
"Its a mental thing. He was this killer that everyone was afraid of on TUF, and then he comes into the big show where it really matters and this is going to make your livelihood and everything else, and he turns into this different person. This super nice guy. He was telling me after the Kelvin fight You know, I really like him, he's a really nice guy. OK, well that really nice guy just took everything you wanted. Do you get what I'm saying, does that make sense to you? I guess it doesn't make sense to him."
Uriah Hall is now 0-2 in the UFC, a position that frequently leads to a release from contract. Will White cut Hall, sending him to the feeder organizations in hopes that it makes him meaner?
"I don't know," said White. "I've got to think about this one."

The Belgian forward has been in fine form since his £7million switch from Genk last summer, netting 17 times for Paul Lambert's side.
While the 22-year-old could stay if Villa remain in the Premier League, agent Eris Kismet admits if a big club like Inter were to make an offer, they would evaluate it.
He told interlive.it: "I have had no contacts with Inter personally and I don't know if the two clubs have spoken about him. Certainly Inter is one of those clubs where Christian dreams of playing.
"A move in the summer? In football everything is possible if the three parties find a solution that makes everyone happy.
"Benteke has a good relationship with the manager Paul Lambert and if Aston Villa will remain in the Premier League he could stay, since he is fine with the club and with the fans.
"But if a big club like Inter were to make an offer, we'll evaluate it."

Wind: 7 mph
What do Roger Pion, Gandhi and Martin Luther King have in common?
The answer is: nothing. However, I can't seem to stop believing that Pion, most probably in all of his ignorance, may have started a movement. Could his act of crushing the whole fleet of police cruisers with a giant tractor be a wake-up call for VT farmers and, for that matter, farmers across the nation? I can already picture massive flotillas of farm equipment landing in towns, cities and on major highways, with their benevolent yet determined presence, demanding for this crap to stop and bring it to a halt. By crap I mean corporate greed, government corruption and all else that trickles down a giant pyramid of utter degradation and destruction of resources, human potential and the planet. Farmers and workers are at the bottom of that pyramid, holding it on their backs while getting crushed by it with every passing day.
Growing up in Europe, I followed with interest and elation when farmers decided to come out in all their force on tractors and combines, block the main roads and peacefully await nervous government officials to come and hear them out. And officials always came. Yes, in many cases, the form of protest was wasteful dumping of crops in the road, because government is forcing prices below cost of production. Most recently, the EU dairy farmers spilled millions of gallons of milk in the streets of Brussels. No one got hurt, but I bet you Brussels had a healthy dose of odor to remind them not to @^$%&* with the farmers. Actually these blockades are commonplace all over Europe every growing season. While they don't cause major change, they serve as a warning for potential loss of millions of Euros, which is the only thing that motivates negotiations.
Not to mention that if the farmers really get irked, road blockades will be nothing in comparison to absence of food on the shelves. That's the true power of the farmer.
The question is, when will our farmers get sick of being messed with? When will they get tired of seeing their land stolen by the banks, by Monsanto and the gang? Will Roger Pion be remembered as the first farmer who ignited the spark with his foolish and impulsive act? Maybe not, but I'll sure remember how big and powerful his tractor was.
