I would never put any sort of silly radioshark looking thing in my car... just me though
thanks Strohj that would be fantastic.
yes "eedesignkits" plural - sorry YellowMater and Jonnie, I can't type or spell!
I would never put any sort of silly radioshark looking thing in my car... just me though
ok well I seem to be getting the same questions.. first of all I would never purchase a radio shark unit. when the usb am fm unit was announced it didn't come out until months after the pre order stage.. I believe it was 6 months.. next there are no ibus codes to crack.. we have all the ibus information to send and I know all the cosed to read. I just don't have the time to research and program into a standalone software. I am going to post a zip file here with everything u need to test operate the dice unit. I am still on vacation but when I get back iwill post the ini files for ibuscomm. the ibus analyzer with the simulated buttons needed to control and view the test coming from the dice unit. I can see the actual raw dat with station info and rds info. all we need is for someone to figure out how to make a simple to use program that will take the already made control software. I willpachage everything foreveryone when I get home sunday.. please pardon the spelling as I am on my phone

Something interesting.. i booted up the HD Radio unit and i noticed that in Hyperterminal i can see the actual RDS and Station Text. this looks just like the XM radio data.
I can see the ascii data as well. If we could figure out how to send HEX strings directly to the com port we could leiminate the ibusrr software and start on the standalone software.
Since we can see the station id in hyperterminal we should be able to import the rds strings..
i have the files packaged up for those of you who have the hardware ill post it up in a bit..

nice to see some progress...
I am anxiously awaiting this.... drooling...
I wish i knew how to do fiberglass work...
Put me down for another $25 right now. I want to see this happen, so I'll put in however more is required. The Reslers Ibus interface and Dice HD unit are ready to go.
We have now identified the Hex address for Radio Feedback!
1st address: Stadion Frequency
2nd Address: RDS data up to 16 characters with scrolling!!!
MitchJS Has jumped into the ring to help us out!! We might get the Standalone program afterall!!!!!

Kamakazie, I started to write a standalone application to control the radio in a BMW, which interfaces with RR also, for the dice unit. I am done with the software part all I need is the hardware and am unable to buy it right now since I am strapped for cash for this month. Would it be possible for you to either PM me or post a file with the data captured from the DICE unit via hyperterminal so that I could simulate stuff and finish the software.
Attached is a screenshot. Nothing fancy at the moment, I am concentrating more on functionality than on the GUI. But do plan to make this skinnable eventually.
I am one of the software guys who works for iBiquity Digital, the company behind HD radio. I was involved in developing some of these protocols you are all trying to reverse engineer. Unfortunately I can't give you guidance, but I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with.
fyi: for anyone curious about the actual HD radio spec, here it is:
NRSC-5 (HD Radio) Specification
Well through an insane networking connection Mitch has a program working. I am using it now
Right now we are coding the RDS data and the Station id information..

Today we are talking about the glorious avocado, the fruit that has a deep green lizard effect skin hiding a silky buttery flesh inside. Avocado is full of monounsaturated fats which is beneficial for improving your skin tone. They are vital for maintaining good moisture levels in the epidermal layer of your skin that make it look and feel soft and healthy.
This fruit tastes fantastic with condensed milk, give it a go if you haven't tried this combination, but it can go equally well with a savoury dish such as a prawn ceviche.
1 lb fresh shrimp, jumbo size, peeled and deveined
1 1/4 cups fresh lime juice
1 large tomato, chopped
1 or 2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
4 scallions, chopped, white and light green parts only
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
1 ripe avocado, chopped
Half a lime
2 heads endive, leaves separated
Chop shrimp into 1/2 inch pieces. In a deep bowl, combine shrimp and lime juice so that shrimp is completely covered by juice and pieces float freely so they can marinate on all sides.
Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.
In a large bowl, combine chopped tomato, jalapenos, scallions, cilantro, salt and pepper. Drain shrimp in a colander and add to bowl. Toss to combine well. Gently toss in chopped avocado. Squeeze lime over.
Spoon one or two tablespoons of ceviche into endive leaves and serve. Alternatively, you can put ceviche into a serving dish and place endive all around it for guests to serve themselves.
You can read more about it on All day I dream about food.
Happy Ceviche-ing!

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? Blog Changes and Goals for 2013
I'm serious – will you? I've alluded to changes since sharing my personal and professional goals for 2012. Slowly there's been a shift around here and you all are going to notice it quite a bit more very soon. So, I figure I should give you fair warning now. I hope you all will stick around, but I realize that some of you may not like the changes coming. Well, I'm happy to say that half of last year's goals were either completed or are currently in progress! Let's see about those changes now, shall we?
Blog Changes and Goals for 2013
Blog Housekeeping
I will be doing an overhaul on my categories to clean things up a bit. There are various other housekeeping tasks that need to be done, but those are best suited for to-do lists. I just need to add this so I will work on it. Months have gone by since I first decided what needed to be done!
Fewer Giveaways
Yes, you read that right. This will be a drastic change. MUCH fewer giveaways. I am so burnt out on giveaway events and they are a lot of work in general. There's posting, promoting, verifying winners, notifying them, and any of the follow ups to track down prizes. It gets to be way too much, especially when I have limited time to get work done each night. I have a few lined up for January that I already committed to, but after that you won't see them very often. I'll be cutting back on reviews as well. It's time to focus more on our other content!
Less Frequent Posting
I'm aiming for 1-2 posts a day with no more than 3 on occasion. I've moved towards this and it seems to be fine with most of you. I just know I can't keep up the insane posting schedule I used to do.
More Video
This is something you've seen me working on from reviews to rambles. My goal is to be creating weekly videos by April of this year. Oh and I need to stop procrastinating and missing the link ups at Mama Kat's Losin' It each week!
I want to attend 1-2 blogging conferences. I'm already booked for Blissdom in March!
I've fallen away from reading other blogs for fun and I need to be doing that more often. Unfortunately, my own blog has consumed me too much! It has to stop though.
We have some great discussions and chitchat on our Facebook fan page, but I need to work on replying to comments and in a more timely manner. I just want to move forward and DO IT. I need to make time at least 3 days a week to be sure I've read and replied to comments.
This list seemed longer and more complicated in my head…
What are your thoughts on these changes and goals?Tags: Blog, changes, giveaways, goals, readership
Comments ( 18 )
Have Something To Say ?
Yes we will still be here! :) I am right with you about revamping the blog and doing fewer giveaways….you are so right they are so time consuming…but also so fun!! :) but I want to strike a good balance! :)
JulieK recently posted..Goal Setting for Preschoolers: New Year's Stars and Wishes {Printable}
Oh yes – we'll love you more, even! I look forward to seeing your videos, and reading more of your content-based posts. I love the way you write! I also plan on spending more time reading other blogs.
Tazim recently posted..Best of Being Tazim 2012Beingtazim
Sounds like some really good goals. I'm gonna be working on some similar things…in fact you gave me a few ideas for which I thank you!
I won't be going anywhere. I'll probably be hanging around way after the kids are out of the nursery. You may have to start a new blog by then though…LOL.
Elle recently posted..The Devils Garden by Brady Christianson Spotlight And ReviewElleberra
Great list of goals! Having them laid out and sharing them will definitely help you accomplish them.
I don't think you need to worry about losing any readers; I have a feeling your blog will only get better and better as you focus more on what you really want to be doing with it. I know I'm not going anywhere!
I really should create a list of my blogging goals. I've been slacking on my own blog so much lately that it's going to be hard work to turn it around. I think one of my main goals should be to reach out more and get support from other bloggers and blogging communities.
Christy Ann recently posted..Super Stylish Giveaway Linky 12/30z853www
Good goals! I especially like the one about video and have been thinking of doing that with mine too. Usually, by the time I'm ready, it's late at night and I'm in my pajamas, so I'll have to make sure I am prepared and ready each night to get them done!FrugalRunMama
I'll be at Blissdom too! We share many of the same goals for the new year.
Stacie recently posted..Picture Keeper Review & Giveaway (US)simplystacienet
I think a lot of bloggers share your same goals. I know I sure do!
Sarah @ East9thStreet recently posted..Resolutions for 2013east9thstreet
Fantastic goals Darcy! I will enjoy seeing more video from you and those cute kiddos! I started making the move toward more content last year and less giveaways and have been extremely happy with the result. Your true fans will always support you no matter what!midwesternmoms
I too want to head to more conferences but with work, I have to plan wayyyy ahead. Great goals. Can't wait to continue reading.
Ashley T recently posted..Happy New Year! What is your resolution?ashleythinks2
I think these are some fantastic changes you are making here! Some of my own 2013 blogging goals are similar to yours…less reviews/giveaways, more useful content, more engagement, and an overall of my categories and theme!
Kecia recently posted..5 Tips for Successful New Year's ResolutionsSGRcom
Definitely sticking around! Can't wait to see videos with your two stars now to help ya
laura recently posted..When I grow up…DealinandDishin
I am in love with your goals – lots of things I haven thought of and total truthelenka29
I'm with you on the fewer giveaways! It's just way too time consuming. Besides, I really want people to come for my utter charm, not because I'm giving them a chance to get something out of it! :D
Nikki recently posted..Get Cracked Up by Humerus the Funny Boneprettynameless
Love it :) I think that they're all good changes… And you'll ENJOY the work you're doing much more!
Meagan Paullin recently posted..Bloggertunities: Opportunities for Women Bloggers to #RockYourBlog2013sunandsipcups
Great goals for the year! I can't believe you have been keeping up with so many posts/day. I can't imagine keeping up with 2/day!
These are exciting changes!

|Great to have the route posted. Wanted to just share my experience. I cycle regularly, but not far. Usually 10 - 25 miles on the weekend, mostly on the road. I decided over the Easter hols to cycle the South Downs way in two parts from my home in Burgess Hill. The first half - Burgess Hill to Ditchling Beacon and then to Eastborne was really enjoyable. A good ride which didn't feel too taxing (I got the train back).
The second half was much tougher. The route from Clayton windmills to Devil's Dyke and beyond includes some really tough off road hills with loose gravel. I ended up knackered and pulled off the way at Washington for a road ride back home.
I'll try again another time - but just wanted to warn other road riders that off road is, in my opinion, about twice as hard as on road.

|One of the top off road routes in my opinion - and depending on the time taken this can either be an relatively energetic or absolute killer ride. The first time I did the route was over two days - very tiring but manageable. Last year I decided to attempt to complete in 1 day, which I did but it is a tough ride. Never under estimate the energy required to climb an accumulated 11,000ft - it never stops going up or down. Note that the route posted here follows the traditional route over Beach Head which technically is a walkers route only - cyclists and horse riders should take a more northerly route. I'd recommend it too - the last hour grinding up and down steep slopes of the cliffs is demoralising. Breathtaking scenery though. This is a never to be forgotten experience and a must for any reasonable mountian biker. And if you get into problems it's never far to get off the trail for help.

|Just completed the whole 100m cycle route in 16 hours. Wanted to do it in a day before i'm too old!(55 at mo).
Fantastic views. Loads of hills.
Loose stones and ruts are the main hazard.
Used slick balloon tyres (Schwalbe Big Apples) These are great but are for dry weather only.
Bike Merida TFS300 29er with Manitou Tower forks.
Note that the Eastbourne bike route recently changed so its start/finish point is same as the walkers.

|Wonderful experience on this ride. I did it as a day trip from London catching the first train to Winchester and one of the last trains back from Eastbourne. A long day but ultimately very satisfying. Be sure to leave something in the tank for the last third which is tough when you're already low on energy. I swore I'd never go near it again but I'm already thinking about returning with some company this time! Trip report for anyone interested at www.mamilontour.wordpress.com

HOOSICK FALLS - A domestic dispute in Hoosick Falls led to a police standoff Monday and ended with a man in the hospital.
State police surrounded a home on Route 22 for several hours.
They say 44-year-old Keith Gates fired several rifle shots out the back of the house around 10 a.m. Officials say when police arrived, he threatened to harm them and himself, and refused to leave the home.
Crisis negotiators talked with him for several hours, but he refused to leave.
Authorities eventually used robotic surveillance equipment that found Gates in an upstairs bedroom with a gunshot wound to the head.
Gates was taken to Albany Medical Center where police say he's in "grave condition."
Troopers say police had been called to the home Sunday night for domestic disturbance.

Actually, scratch that. Rihanna's new record, Talk That Talk, is the dirtiest "pop" record we have ever heard. We listened to the entirety of the 11-song album, which will hit stores on Monday, November 21, earlier this afternoon here at our Times Square headquarters and can confirm that everyone in attendance left the room with flushed cheeks after experiencing extensive periods of blushing.
Now, this is not to say that Rihanna has gone out and recorded the female As Nasty As They Wanna Be; it's not simply a sexually-explicit affair (although, at one point during The-Dream produced track "Birthday Cake," she does proclaim "I wanna f*** you right now"). Rather, Talk That Talk continues the conversation that Rihanna began with her single "S&M" (off Loud) and, if you'll pardon the Spinal Tap reference, turns it up to 11. Rihanna and her chief partner-in-crime, songwriter Ester Dean (who either wrote or co-wrote at least six songs on the LP), have put together a record that not only oozes sex, but also revolves almost exclusively around it.

Hunger Games: Catching Fire Casting News! And the Role of Finnick Odair Goes To…
All right, so now that we've ruled out Robert Pattinson as a contender for the coveted role of Finnick Odair in the upcoming Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire, who are the front-runners to join Jennifer Lawrence and company in filming the follow-up to this mega-smash movie?
A source tells E! Online that the role of the headstrong and extremely good-looking former Hunder Games champ is being duked out by three equally good-looking actors, namely The Social Network's Armie Hammer, Battleship's Taylor Kitsch (eek), and Tron's Garrett Hedlund.
With filming looming at summer's end, the final casting announcement could come as early as next week, but these things are about as predictable as the Reapings before the Hunger Games; the franchise's studio, Lionsgate, may very well call upon a complete unknown for this pivotal role.
Can't wait to see who will take on the role of Finnick? You just may have no other choice. Lionsgate is notoriously cagey about releasing casting news, and the film doesn't come out until Thanksgiving 2013. Meanwhile, vote for your favorite among the three front-runners below!
Source: E! Online
No Robert Pattison?
Whoever! Just bring it on ASAP.

The Obama campaign is not relenting in its attacks on Mitt Romney over comments this week by Indiana senate candidate Richard Mourdock, launching a web ad and a microsite on Friday devoted to the subject.
On Tuesday in a debate with his Democratic opponent, Joe Donnelly, Mourdock, the state treasurer of Indiana, said that pregnancy from rape, while "horrible," is "something God intended to happen," which prompted denunciations from some – but not all – Republicans.
Romney appeared in an ad for Mourdock earlier this month. The Romney campaign said he disagreed with Mourdock's comments, but Romney did not withdraw his support.
The new microsite, with the URL "Stand-up-to-Extremism," contains a clock counting the number of days, hours and minutes Romney has failed to denounce Mourdock since his comments. It also includes the number of times the ad featuring Romney endorsing Mourdock has aired since the comments.
On Thursday, the Romney campaign said they would continue to stand behind Mourdock even though they disagreed with his comments.
Obama's campaign had the following tweet this week: "Romney must withdraw his support of Mourdock-- who'd force rape victims to bear an attacker's child as `God intended,"'

just curious about what kind of names some of you have for your teams in leagues or tournaments. Was in a 32 team tourney this weekend and so many creative names were there, so I figured my fellow CCBers might have some interesting ones too. here are mine:
Sunday: Lucky bastards (some sessions Stupid Bastards)
Tuesday: Dirty Girls (inside name that was there before I got there.Had to do with some kind of dirty safety play oe guy did and someone called him a dirty girl.We only have one girl on the team!)
in the tournament we were simply "DragonSack... and two other guys" Just using our nicknames there. Anyway, just interested in seeing whats all out there

April Hirsh | Research assistant | Graduated in 2006
Posted on Fri, 13 Sep, 2013
Honestly, I can't remember why I majored in English - I came to campus as a communications major - but I'm pretty certain I stuck with it because of the professors in the English department and the thought-provoking, challenging classes that they taught.
Jonathan Senchyne | Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison | Graduated in 2004
Posted on Fri, 23 Aug, 2013
I majored in English with the intention of becoming a teacher at the secondary level. Like many other Geneseo students, I combined my major field with a secondary education minor in the School of Education. As an English major, I discovered that my love of reading was deepened by the analytical abilities literature awakened. Through the Honors program, my reading interests extended into philosophy, cultural theory, and politics. In collaboration with several different advisors, I decided to pursue graduate studies rather than going straight into secondary teaching.
Ethan Waddell | Korean Government Scholarship Program Grantee | Graduated in 2009
Posted on Wed, 11 Sep, 2013
I chose English as a major because I enjoyed writing as a creative outlet. After graduating from Geneseo in December of 2009 with a Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing I began applying for positions teaching English in South Korea. From July 2010 until August 2012, I taught English full time to students of all ages in Seoul and Incheon. This spring, I was accepted for the Korean Government Scholarship Program, a program that grants full tuition and living expenses for international students who wish to study in Korea.

Jesse and Liza argued and he pushed her, then left. Once he was gone, Liza tore her clothes up and accused Jesse of raping her. Jesse fled town to hide in New York. While there he saw Jenny, who was going to being a career as a porn star, and convinced her to return with him to Pine Valley instead. Jenny convinces Liza to drop the false charges.
Soon after this Jesse met Angie Baxter. They fell in love and decided to secretly marry so they crossed the state line for a quickie ceremony. Angie's family did not like the match, especially her father Les Baxter. When Angie discovered she was pregnant she became convinced that Jesse didn't want kids and decided to give the baby up for adoption. She flew to Haiti for a quick divorce. Jesse found out about the pregnancy and met Angie at the hospital to be with her; he was too late and the baby had already been given up. Wanting their child back, they decided to kidnap him from the adoptive parents and ran off to Center City where they were married.
Jesse's singing partner, Yvonne, told everyone she was pregnant with Jesse's child but later admitted her lie to Angie. She sold the baby to a baby-selling ring. Jesse took an undercover job to find the leader and learned "Mr. Big" was Angie's father! They struggled and Les fell to his death. Angie was angry and left Jesse.
The found their way back to one another but Jesse, while still a police officer, was shot in the line of duty and killed.
Jesse's ghost has visited Pine Valley several times since his death. In 1994 during a tornado he appeared to Tad to help him, and in 2001 he appeared to Gillian to help her move on from her death.
It turned out that Jesse was never dead; he had faked his death to get away from the criminal Papel. When Frankie was deathly ill, he came out of hiding to be with his son. Both Angie and Frankie were shocked. Angie and Jesse picked up where they left off, but Papel wasn't far behind. He stalked them, hoping to find more diamonds. Jesse and Angie decided to renew their wedding vows and at the ceremony, Papel - Rob Gardner! - struck! Jesse fought him off and saved Angie but Tad and Julia were shot. Tad survived; Julia died.
Soon after, Richie Novak was killed in a hit-and-run. Annie tried to frame Cassandra, Colby and Dre; Jesse already suspected them because of how they were acting. He tried to prove their innocence but Cassandra thought he was targeting her. It was finally proven that they didn't kill Richie. Unable to stand being around Jesse and Angie, Cassandra left town.
Someone began calling Jesse and he finally admitted he had another life - complete with a family! He lived with therapist Rebecca and they had a daughter Natalia. Natalia came to Pine Valley and Rebecca followed after Natalia was hurt in the tornadoes. It turned out Rebecca was dying; Jesse struggled with his guilt over Rebecca.
Jesse is the Chief of Police in Pine Valley. He helped his daughter-in-law, Randi, cover up what he thought was the murder of Henry North, and has dealt with his widow, Madison North. Jesse worked on the investigation of Stuart's murder, and helped Kendall and Zach when she was accused of the murder and on the run!
He has continued to battle with David Hayward regarding his treatment of Angie at hospital, as well as his seeming vendetta against his whole family.
Jesse learned Angie was pregnant, but was also losing her eyesight. Angie's medication was harming their baby, but Jesse felt Angie should take the meds and they could try for another baby later. Angie was adamant about having the baby, so she didn't take the meds and went blind.
When Angie went into labor, she and Jesse were taking a trip down memory lane and were in the house they were first married in. There were complications and Angie passed out. Jesse was forced to deliver the baby, who was stillborn. Brot showed up with a baby someone had left in his squad car. When Angie came to, she heard the other baby crying and assumed it was hers. Jesse didn't correct her and placed the abandoned baby in Angie's arms and let her believe it was their child.

At home, Angie encourages Jesse to open his own detective shop, especially with Tad undercover. Later, Colby joins Cassandra for a movie night with junk food. Cassandra wants to go back to bed but Colby won't let her.
David taunts Jesse in the square. He offers to put in a good word for him to be a security guard at CorTech - unless he's cool with wifey taking care of him. One day Angie will realize she can do better.
Angie calls Jesse from the hospital about a meeting with the doctor. He lies that he is meeting with a realtor. She's proud of him for moving forward. Tad calls Jesse, whose sources tell him Uri is about to resurface. Tad's on the next flight home.
Jesse drinks Zach's hangover concoction at Jane's Addiction. He's determined to make Uri pay. Lea enters but Zach isn't interested in talking. Outside, a criminal taunts Jesse about losing his job. Jesse slams him against a wall. Without his badge he's more dangerous and pretends to shoot him with his finger.
Cassandra is home with Jesse and Angie. She goes to lay down while Angie pushes Jesse to tell her about his job. He wants Cassandra to rest first and instead changes the locks. Later, Cassandra overhears them talking about him losing his job. He tells her about Uri's blackmail. Cassandra blames herself but Jesse doesn't. Nothing is more important to him than his family.

WORCESTER, Mass. – The Holy Cross Varsity Club has announced the 2013 selections for induction into the Holy Cross Athletic Hall of Fame. Included among the 2013 inductees is former field hockey player Annie Lavigne (Class of 2001).
Lavigne was a four-year starter and defensive stalwart on the Crusader field hockey team from 1997-2000. She led Holy Cross to three Patriot League Tournament titles and two Patriot League regular season championships, with the team posting an overall record of 49-33 during her four years. Lavigne served as team captain during her senior season, when she was also named the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year and the Patriot League Tournament most valuable player. A three-time All-Patriot League and two-time All-New England selection, she ranked third all-time at Holy Cross in career interceptions (520) and seventh in career points scored (57) at the time of her graduation. Lavigne also received the 2001 Honorable John P. Cooney Memorial Award from the Varsity Club.

The 2011 Video Music Awards had quite the effect on this week's charts. Adele, Beyoncé, and Lady Gaga were among the artists posted who posted sales bumps after performances a week ago Sunday. Possibly none of them benefited as much as Lil Wayne, whose album Tha Carter IV went on sale less than an hour after the show wrapped on the East Coast. His performance of "How To Love" and "John" was one of innumerable factors that led to a monster first week sales tally of 964,000.
These numbers are no joke. The album not only hit #1 with a bullet on the Billboard 200 (followed by the Red Hot Chili Peppers with 229,000 copies of I'm With You) but it also could become the second-best-selling album of the year. Granted, the fourth-quarter schedule is packed with heavy hitters like Coldplay, whose Mylo Xyloto drops October 25, but Lil Wayne's album has already sold more than half in its first week of what Gaga's Born This Way has sold since its release, without the help of the type of loss-leading that scored Gaga the year's biggest first week. We doubt any album (from anybody) will come near the three-million-and-counting sales of Adele's 21, but the race to second place just got significantly more crowded (and more interesting), as we suspect Tha Carter IV will have not-insignificant legs.

Mark Aylward has been designing and manufacturing "objects" from timber and metal for many years. Most of these pieces have been commissions from people wanting unique well made items that will last a life time.
Marks love of making things was fostered from a young age by his parents and grand parents. From the age of 10, he spent most of his hard earned pocket money on tools! Mark was given his great great grandfathers cabinetmakers tool chest which was bought to Australia in 1859. Mark excelled in Manual Arts in high school. This led to a diverse apprenticeship trade journey, starting in sheet metalwork and leading to refrigeration and air conditioning, where brass, copper, steel, gases and electricity were all worked with to create breathing, functioning, electro mechanical systems. After gaining the Craftsman's Certificate of Proficiency, he continued in these fields for another 21 years advancing from apprentice to manager.
In 2000 he left the air conditioning industry and worked with his partner Helen Stronach in Architecture for 5 years. The time spent working in the Architectural practice gave new insight into design, the use of space, texture and colour. Since 2006 numerous commissions of recycled and solid timber furniture pieces have led to the forming of The Solid Wood & Furniture Company. The furniture is a montage of heavy slab construction using Australian hardwood, clean lines and butter smooth finishes. This then led to Sculpture and art pieces which is now a full time occupation and love. The use of both ferrous and non ferrous metals ads texture, interest and a strength to the pieces. Mark, an artisan at heart, reverts wherever possible to the use of hand tools and hand rubbed finishes over power tools this keeps an element of quality and tradition in the pieces.
You will find, if you decide to work with Mark, that he can make just about anything! Mark has experience working with a huge variety of materials and "systems", which brings an ingenuity to his designs and almost always with an element of "fun".

Tool Chest
This tool chest was given to Mark at the age of 10 by his grandfather Richard Legge. It originally was Richard's grandfather, Phillip Legg, who made this tool chest whilst he was an apprentice cabinet maker in Jersey in 1838.
Philip worked as a Seaman on the ship Elizabeth and arrived in Sydney in December 1850 (Richard's father was Harry Legge from Leggs Camp, Myall Lakes).
Mark continues to use many of these tools on his pieces.
Quotes from Wood Workers
These are a few of my favorite quotes form old Wood Workers.
James Krenov - A Cabinetmaker's Notebook.
"Here I am, here is my work - and someone is waiting for the fruits of these fleeting hours. My contentment is bound by the whitewashed walls of my little cellar shop, by the stacks of long-sought woods with their mild colours and elusive smells, by the planked ceiling through which I hear the quick footsteps of a child- and yet it is boundless, my joy. The cabinet is taking shape. Someone is waiting for it. With a bit of luck it will be liked, given a continuety in a life of its own. Hands will caress the shimmery surface, a thumb will discover the edge which I am rounding. An edge rounded with my plane. An edge cut rounded, but not sandpapered- a sensitive finger will understand its living imperfections and be pleased at the traces left by sharp steel on hardwood. Through the years this edge will be polished, change tone, gleam in mellowness. Yet always it will bear the marks of my favorite tool."
Alan Peters - Cabinetmaking a professional approach
"I have purposely not painted a rosey picture of furniture making as a living, as opposed to a very pleasant pastime, for it is not for the faint hearted, and the following is only a guide to the complexities of such a career. At the end of the day, you must realise that no-one owes you a living; you will have to create it for yourself by your own efforts and by the quality of the work you produce."
Wharton Esherick

Baythoben is correct.
There is more to this story. Suppliers of medical equipment might have to accept a lower profit. It is not unusual for transportation companies to charge $300-$400 to transport a patient (even without a complicated medical condition). And $25,000 for a wheelchair... how about helping out these nursing homes and knock off several grand.
Many nursing homes collect $145 per day per Medicaid patient from which they must feed them, nurse them, provide shelter, etc. Heck an average hotel room costs more than what they collect.
The executive order to drop the "BOMB" by Pres. Truman in WWII killed over 200,000 Japanese civilians. Was there ever an outcry to prosecute the pilots who dropped the ATOMIC BOMBS?
Last time !
There is a difference between being a Nazi leader, and a soldier/guard.
Assuming he was a guard, did he really have any reasonable choice in his alleged actions?
So, should the WWII pilots that dropped the nuclear bomb in Japan killing civilians be held accountable?
I think in most armies if you don't do what your told it is called something like TREASON.
The difference between many murders and Mr. D is he was at war, and most likely was forced to act as he did. Let me point a gun to your head, and I could probably make you do anything. Plus, don't forget, the Israel's couldn't find enough objective evidence to try him.
Ironically, our educational sytem is not very progressive. There should be more choices for families via charter schools, vochers, and on-line learning oppurtunities. Imagine the tax payer savings if all public schools were run like the private schools.
Additionally, we still confuse priveledges with rights in education. Tax payers NEVER should have paid for ANY extra-curricular activity.
Tax payers should only pay for safe buildings, books, and salaries for the core curriculum as was intially intended. Anything above that should always have been at the parents expense. Yes, they may have to give up a cell phone or two, but it's for their kids education.
Of course, none of these comments are meant for those living below the poverty levels. However, when a family has a middle class, or above income, they need to pay more for their kids education than simply property taxes.
Come on. Get with the program.
If I leave my keys in my car, and someone steals it. Should I go to jail for being stupid, or the guy who stole it.
If I walk alone down the baddest street in town and I get mugged who is the criminal? Me, or the thug that mobbed me!
Hint: We should expect to be safe, and crime-free at all times, and in all neighborhoods. If we don't demand and expect it, we won't get it.
His side of the story. Enough already.
Let's guess, "Life's not fair, I didn't mean it, he called me a bad name, I thought he had a gun, etccc." Most of us are tired of excuses. The S.O.B. killed someone. The victim didn't have a gun, so it wasn't self defense.
Let's start realizing that we should treat nice people nice, and thugs with the strong fist. No more second chances. Unless your an *hole, eveyone knows ya don't whack someone.
How about Angie's list of patients who don't pay their bills, or patients who doctor shop for drugs. Oh, yea, invasion on the patients privacy (HIPPA stuff)
Dogs hurt!
Any dog (from poodles to whatever) regardless of how well trained will bite/attack if they feel threatened. Running in the dogs yard, paper boys (in the old days), taking away their food, trying to pet them when you're sitting at their eye level, have all produced aggressive responses.
People, they are animals, they function on very litle cognitive behavior. Most of what they do is instinctive and reflexive.
When my 6 pound dog bites it has drawn blood, when my 20 pound Boston Terrier bit (it hurt like hell), I can't imagine what a 60-80 lb. short muzzled dog's bite feels like.
So, while they are gentle 99% of the time, when they bite (all breeds can bite) they hurt the most.
My 6 pound dog could have easily bit that little girl, the difference being she maybe would have only needed a Baindaid instead of sutures.
MrCommonSens is 100% correct. I think laws are to protect us, and to punish law-breakers. Enough with technicalities. Let me guess, the police didn't properly get stankiewic's permissionss or consent.
These are scum-bag attorneys that don't have the ethical "balls" to realize the innocent always get hurt . Worry about us for a change.
Face the little girls parents Mr./Ms. lawyer and tell them "I'm just doing my job."
to AFRODAN and others who don't get it.
Ya don't need a Ph.D. to understand some basic facts of life
1) Hit me and eventualy you'll get hit back
2) Life is never fair and no law can make it fair. Be like water and go with the flow. Not every fight is worth fighting for.
3) If your parents are dysfunctional and have a lousy life, and if you do what they do, you'll get what they got
4) Take drugs to escape and you'll only escape any real possibility of having a good life
5) If your a boy keep it in your pants, and if a girl don't give it up
6) Do the right thing. Unless your're a MORON everyone knows that all ya gotta do is "do unto others...."
7) Stop making excuses for bad behavior such as broken homes, poverty, whitey etc... Doesn't CANADA have poverty, broken homes, whites??? Why is their crimes rates less than ours, as well as, every other country?
8) The best people to stop crime our the one's affected by it. Blacks need to kick the crap out of the bad "Brotha's" A.S.A.P.
Ingnorant and enough already. Stop blaming your bad-ass-thug attitude on poverty. Everyone knows there are some things you don't do like, hit a teacher, or use profanity in schools.
Society has to get tougher on these kids, not try to make excuses for them. Poverty was always present, but not this much teenage violence.
Oh yeah, let's throw more and more money at public schools. The good ole' USA spends more money on public school education than any other country in the worl. The social ideals in the 1960's 70's, 80's, 90, and 2000's will never work as long as people are constantly hearing how unfortunate they are, and how life's not fair, and how they areowed something.
It is not a coincidence that the world is catching up to our living standard, as they got smarter we got dumber. What would hapen to these kids in any other country? Remember, years ago the American boy in Indonesia (?not sure perhaps Malaysia/Thailand) who got punished (whipped) for damging a car (?) bet he hasn't done it since.
So let be honest and call it what they are PUNKS. Let's start rewarding good behaviors for a change. Seriously, bring back the padle, give teachers authority to use it, and let kick the crap out of the cry-baby parents that object
My home on Ridge road in Parma is zoned comercial (no problem with the zoning). Despite not making any improvements over the past year excluding basic maintainence issues my property taxes increased by over 180%!!! Ten adjcacent properties increased by under 15%. After 1 full year of complaining I'm still waiting for a hearing.
Judge Daniel (GOD) Gaul hs spoken.
Regardless of his judicial powers, no college president should be made to resign or go to jail (even if only for 24 hours) because of a court imposed GAG order.
Judge (GOD) Gaul, hint, put criminals in jail. Better yet, we got to ask ourselves, at least at this point in time, why should the courts intervene over college politics/finances.
Will have a hard time show King James any respect after dis the Indians in favor of the Yankees. As great as he is, within a few more years Clevelanders will see his EGO is a big as his pay-days. For the first time since turning pro I couldcare less about him

I am an LSU alum (class of 2002) and a HUGE LSU football fan and I must say that I am somewhat embarrassed by the way JJ has been treated. Now let's be honest, when the story first broke, I could not believe that JJ was that stupid enough to tarnish his reputation and put his career in jeopardy. I am glad that the truth has come out and he was still held accountable for his wrong doing (breaking curfew and getting involved in an alteracation). BUT, it's overwith and I wish he would've been welcomed and cheered as he took the field instead of boo'ed. Because like it or not, he is a BIG part of the LSU family now and that is just not the way to treat family. So if no one else has said it...Welcome Back Jordan! Welcome Back!
Brittany Brees!!!!!!!
Yeah, and maybe Emeril's wife too!
The point is that the Section 8 program can be administered in a way that benefits the people who need and deserve assistance. But its not. For every problem, there is a solution. And the solution is that there should be two different programs, one long term, permanent program for the elderly and disabled, and another temporary program for those families that fall on hard times and may need a helping hand. But its is not ran that way because the government does not want it to run that way. Period. Just as government and most corporate employers require drug testing, these government aides should do the same. But they don't. That is something that the government can do. These people should receive assistance with becoming self sufficient, like support and assistance with finding jobs and seeking counseling to thse families that need help. The bottom line is that there's a way to do it right, but its not up to us.
As long as people know there's a safety net to fall back on, they're never going to try to take responsibility for their own lives. And that's what the government provides, a permanent safety net.
The government rewards them for having more children. More children equals a bigger voucher, which equals a bigger, more expensive apartment. More children equals more food stamps, which equals more food or more assistance available to sell to those without assistance. I too get disgusted by the people that take advantage of the situation, but I also realize that it will always continue if the government doesn't put an end to it. Katrina was almost 5 years ago, yet there are still government funded programs that give people assistance for that disaster. And that is ridiculous.
You completely missed my point! I know that you cannot get assistance because you make too much money. My point was, don't blame the welfare/section 8 recipients for taking what's rightfully given to them. The government set these income limits, not the people. So instead of being mad at them, you should be mad at the government. They enable, better yet, encourage poverty by kicking these people off assistance if they get a job and start heading on the road to self sufficiency! Just like you, once they start working, with the rents so high and the cost of living constantly going up, but jobs aren't increasing their pay, we are all struggling. So their mentality is, "Its best to sit on my @$$ and get free rent, free food, free utilities, rather than go to work everyday, bust my behind and still don't make enough money to get by." Don't you see, its all a conspiracy to maintain poverty and low class citizens. You're angry at the wrong people my friend.
You all sound extremely ignorant. I work for this agency and the FACT is that we see many people, of all races. Yes, the majority of them are african american. However, it does not negate the fact that ALL races take advantage of the government's deliberate act to enable and breed low-class citizens OF ALL races. The bottom line is that if the government would stop enabling these people OF ALL RACES, then they would have no option but to take care of themselves. But I see THE GOVERNMENT constantly throwing money into the situation. Why do you think that is??? Have you even considered the reason? DO you expect people OF ANY RACE to turn down free money? Of course you dont, and honestly, if most of you on this very post were able to get "assistance", you would be in line with everyone else, just as you were right after the storms, when disaster food stamps were available and red cross was available. During those times, even the rich/wealthy/so called "middle and upper class" were in those very same lines, conversing with the Section 8 recipients. So, rather than sit here on these posts blaming these people for being human and doing what any human being would do, what you should be using your energy for is writing to the government officials and voicing your complaints. Although, I doubt they would even care to listen. The point is this world is about checks and balances. If there is no low class citizens, for you guys to mock and point fingers at, then how do you feel "above the rest". Its really pathetic actually.
FYI, these people do have to have a clean crimianl background in order to receive assitance.
But I guess you guys wouldn't have a problem if we let the elderly and disabled go without assistance too? Right? I mean, it's their own fault for not having a retirement plan and/or a 401k, right? (P.S. that was sarcasm) Sad. Its really sad. You can't sit here and put unrealistic expectations on some and not all. The problem is that since Katrina, rents are soooo expensive, that not even the working class can afford them. But its the government that allow this to continue, by actually encouraging these slumlords to make a profit by paying these ridiculous rents. So what are these people to do but seek assistance. Now I definitely agree with most of you on here that there should be a limit as to how long you are able to receive assistance if you are not elderly or disabled. However, again, this is something that is not in the control of the welfare recipients, but the lawmakers. So why criticize these people instead of the enablers. Also, please know that it's not the people that show up here everyday to help this community that are ripping of the system, its the ones that are so far from the real situation, they have no problem taking from the poor and giving to the rich(themselves) Just as many politicians do on a daily basis. The majority of us do care about helping and we do everything in our power to help these people, legally. Its so sad to read these comments, when everyone who feels the "need" to speak on the situation, have absolutely no idea of the truth.
Honestly, I think had we lost that game, the Saints still would've received a huge welcoming party. We love our team, win or lose. And I for one know I would've waited out their even if we'd lost.
Thanks Drew! You are truly a great representation of an amazing city and team. We are blessed to have you lead this organization. Take no prisoners Sunday!
NOLA5928, the 2006 Saints definitely. We were one fire then!
I'd have to say Ashton Kutcher as Drew Brees, but he'd have to cut that hair. Reggie Bush would be played by...let's see, Derek Luke (you know, Antwon Fisher). And Coach Payton would be played by either Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt, they're both getting up there in age. My first pick would be Cruise. I'm not sure about Deuce, i'd have to get back to you on that one.
You guys are HILARIOUS! But honestly, when i first read it, that same thought crossed my mind!
Don't do it guys. It's too risky! Please for the love of GOD, DON'T TAKE A CHANCE. The season begins in less than 2 months, and New Orleans is NOTHING without the Saints. I look forward to football season. We can't risk it. Why don't you just write a check like everybody else!
I really wish TP wouldn't have even started this blog. The world is bad enough as is without having to read all the hatred and ignorance that people feel so eager to post. I was always taught that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I think we all have enough going on in our lives that we should take time to focus on rather than spending countless hours on this blog running off at the mouth. If you have a problem with Barack Obama, Ray Nagin, or whomever else, the only thing you should be concerned with is doing something effective to change it. Otherwise, save it. The nation, and those of us who actually took time to vote in the primaries, have spoken...YES WE CAN! And by gosh...WE WILL! You complain about who gets elected, but what you fail to realize is that they were ELECTED. Obviously, they had enough supporters to get them in office. Majority rules...Remember this is America. If you have a problem with the way things are done here...MOVE!

Pope Francis, Breastfeeding, and Breaking with Catholic TraditionBy
We now know the answer to a question no one in the entire world was asking: What does the bishop of Rome think about breastfeeding in public?
Sometimes it's fairly easy to predict how a certain anecdote or even a certain phrase from Pope Francis will get reported by the media. Not surprisingly, the secular media's reporting often reveals more about the media, than it does about the Pope. Put "Pope Francis" and "Breastfeeding" in the same news item and all bets are off.
First, the set-up. In a recent interview with La Stampa, Pope Francis spoke about child hunger and told the following story in that context:
At the Wednesday General Audience the other day there was a young mother behind one of the barriers with a baby that was just a few months old. The child was crying its eyes out as I came past. The mother was caressing it. I said to her: madam, I think the child's hungry. "Yes, it's probably time…" she replied. "Please give it something to eat!" I said. She was shy and didn't want to breastfeed in public, while the Pope was passing. I wish to say the same to humanity: give people something to eat! That woman had milk to give to her child; we have enough food in the world to feed everyone.
The Holy Father's remarks garnered more than a little attention, often with troll-baity headlines like "Pope Francis' Stance on Public Breastfeeding Might Surprise You," or "Pope Francis backs public breastfeeding! And that makes him traditional…"
But my favorite part about this whole story has to be this penetrating bit of reportage from the New York Daily News:
"Time's Person of the Year appears to have broken with staunch Catholic tradition by encouraging the feeding of newborns whenever it's needed."
Let's just say the New York Daily News needs to update the software on their Pope Francis News Story Generator Bot.

Pope Francis knows the importance of breastfeeding and it's great how such a simple story what we all need. Just like the baby was hungry for his mother's milk, it's important for those that have the means to provide food, to do so to those in need.
This reminded me of an article I read over at Catholictothemax's blog called "Why Every Church Needs a Joann" (You can read it here: http://catholictothemax.com/blog/beauty-in-the-small-things/church-future-joann/)
What it made me realize is that the attitude and openness to the beauty of children, life, and family of the laity is really important.
Children should be welcomed in parishes. Not frowned upon.
Good article — another side of Pope Francis.
There is a certain grace to nursing a baby regardless of the age. Yes, I nursed. Yes, I nursed during Mass if my child needed to. Yes, I was very modest in covering up, such a no-brainer in my book. Yes, I tandem nursed and nursed toddlers — but very rarely in public. And if it happened no one knew.
And for those who think that it is not acceptable to nurse a child in public, would I be wrong in presuming that scantly dressed woman on the beach is perfectly acceptable?
Western civilization really needs to get a better grip on what is the best for our children in the area of nutrition as well as nurturing. This is an issue that doesn't seem like it has changed much since I nursed (which is a form of nurtured) my babies 20+ years ago.
Christ was certainly breastfed, and probably wasn't weaned for several years. The average age of weaning worldwide is four years, in America it is 3 months. That is sad . . .
I love how the Pope took the time to share his concern for the crying infant! And he also knew the simple remedy–feed the baby:)
And that New York Daily News bite would be hysterical if it weren't such painfully bad PR. Little wonder so many hate the Church when it is portrayed like this.

text: Defence company takes missile tech to hospitals Technology 26 February 14 by Liat Clark Lockheed Martin might be best known for laser-charging drones or its foray into space plane design. But the American aerospace and security company has set its sight on a landlocked target: sepsis. And it's using missile defence technology to do it. "We wanted to transfer some of this technology, especially algorithms round mission orientated data, that's used when people's lives are at risks," Macy Summers, vice president of strategic planning at Lockheed Martin, told Wired.co.uk. "Because of our expertise we wondered if could apply this to the domain of critical care and decisions."The company in fact operates 50 medical clinics for veterans across the US, and one of its clients approached it to ask for help solving a problem -- sepsis detection. Sepsis occurs when serious infection attacks and the body and the immune system goes into overdrive, potentially leading to inflammation across the organs. According to the NHS there are more than 30,000 of severe, life-threatening sepsis ever year and "the number seems to be rising". It is common in hospitalised patients, and last year Dame Julie Mellor ordered the NHS to overhaul its handling of sepsis after a series of "tragic cases". Detecting it early is a huge part of the problem, and with costs increasing and staff cuts continuing, it's imperative the patient's vital statistics are monitored with precision detail."Sepsis is a very pernicious disease," says Summers. "It's hard to detect and once progresses, it has an explosive effect that your body can't recover from. We looked at the data and sure enough we could apply a time series to it."Like with the missile detection system, Lockheed Martin's sepsis detection system -- Sia -- uses a series of sensors to gather its data and create a time series. In this case that includes vital signs and lab work. Rather than just looking at health records, the system monitors a patient over days to find out what's normal for them, and where the peaks and troughs are. The team began trialling it using 100 data records from patients, and after promising results it was then given a set of 4,500 blind records.By taking in a far vaster quantity of data than a human eye can, passing over just a couple of data points to make a conclusion, Lockheed Martin's system produced far less false alarms (less than one percent) and in fact diagnosed patients correctly 14 to 16 hours ahead of the current system used by doctors, the Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome method. The latter has a false alarm rate of 65 percent, says Lockheed Martin. "If a doctor is making rounds and looking at someone that had an operation in the hospital, they would walk by and only look at current vitals," says Summer. "They'll look at yesterday's, or stats from a few hours ago. They can't keep large numbers of variables in mind."It turned out our system found several patients that had been septic and recovered on their own or some that had expired and had not been coded as septic as reason for death."Lockheed Martin had been working with a teaching hospital on the project in the northeast of the US, but has today announced a new partnership with the University of Miami (UM) Health System, Miller School of Medicine. The pair are due to collaborate on more ways of harnessing the vast amounts of data coming out of hospitals to develop predictive models and build automated systems. Summers explains this kind of machine learning system could just as easily be translated one day to look out for the early onset of diabetes, heart failure, blood clots and much more."While an enormous amount of patient information is available in our electronic medical record, this partnership will help us come up with actionable data that is truly important for the patient the physician is taking care of," commented David Seo, Chief Medical Informatics Officer at the Miller School. "This information should not just be about the patient's past. We need a data environment that can do complex statistical analysis to help us move away from reactive medicine and toward proactive medicine, in which we get to patients before they get sick and prevent the disease from occurring."Lockheed Martin is expanding its predictive analytics system, working with Life Technologies in the US to transfer knowledge gained for exome sequencing. As an extension of this, the company is also investing in quantum computing, which could exponentially speed up this kind of analytics work."I'm very excited about the work in quantum computing," Brad Pietras, vice president of engineering told Wired.co.uk. "The bottom line is that quantum computer lets you do complex computation very rapidly. When you're trying to map parameters to behaviours you have to do an optimisation with huge datasets and that becomes a very difficult problem." Pietras said Lockheed Martin has a UK quantum computing research team and sponsors research done in the field at University College London.The only downside we can see for the Sia programme for now, is that in the US Summers predicts it will be the privilege of the payers -- insurance companies -- and therefore only available to the insured. For insurance companies, it's good for their brand, Summers points out, and a healthy customer means a happy insurance company. Comments Latest on wired.co.uk

I just finished watching Kevin Adams' sick clip, and these are a few of my favorite things: He skates nice 'n' fast, he won't hesitate to bust out some tick-tacks or a caveman hop down a flight of stairs, and he's not afraid of the dark, either. Oh, yeah, and that sweet frontside flip down nine was tight, too. The rest of the footage rocks, as well--even without a soundtrack. Good work, Kevin. You just earned yourself a free pair of Emerica shoes.--Post King
