Recording Your PowerPoint Presentations With Camtasia
When it comes to recording your PowerPoint Presentations, or videos in general for that matter, there are quite a few choices of software to use; Camtasia, CamStudio and Jing to name a few. But when it comes to editing and producing your videos Camtasia is by far the best I have experienced.
Camtasia do offer a free trial but you will eventually have to purchase it, unless of course you're lucky enough to win it in competitions such as the one I'm holding during the challenge 😉 and some will find it expensive, however in my opinion it is worth every penny as long as you're going to use it.
There are free options available which I demonstrated last week in the video, Using Free Software To Record Your PowerPoint Presentations.
In this weeks video I show you how to record your PowerPoint Presentations using Camtasia, how to edit them, add the bookends that I include in my videos and a few other features that Camtasia offers.
Recording Your PowerPoint Presentations With Camtasia
NOTE: All of my videos are now in HD and can be watched on full screen, simply hit the button in the bottom right corner of the video.
During the video I mention my bookends and where to get them. The very first one "A Video Presentation From Barry-Wells.com" I had made on Fiverr and the other bookends, "Welcome" and "Take Action Now" I got from Vox Flair, that is my affiliate link but the bookends I used are free of charge 😉
If there is anything that I haven't covered that you would like to know about please let me know in the comments below and I'll answer to the best of my ability or if need be I'll create another video giving you a demonstration.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Season 3, Episode 16 Spoilers: 8 Things We Learned From the Sneak Peeks
Pretty Little Liars Season 3, Episode 16: "Misery Loves Company" (January 22) promises to be one of the most intense and exciting episodes of the season, and that's saying something!
We've taken a close look at the sneak peeks of the episode to see what we can learn about it before it airs tonight.
1. Toby and Mona have a plan. In this chilling sneak peek, Mona (Janel Parrish) and Toby (Keegan Allen) appear to have something big planned — so big that Toby's worried they're "rushing" it.
2. There's someone else in charge, and it's a "she." That same sneak peek confirms that Mona is still taking orders from someone else, and she implies that someone is female. Hmmm.
3. A special anniversary. In the sneak peek below, we learn Spencer (Troian Bellisario), with help from her mom, is planning Toby a romantic anniversary surprise. We have a feeling that's not going to end in the lovey-dovey way she imagined...
4. Aria is still sick — and home alone. Below, we see that Aria (Lucy Hale) is still very ill, and she's home alone, because her dad is away and she doesn't want to bother her mom.
5. Aria trusts Meredith. In the same sneak peek Aria insists that she trusts Meredith's motivations, which the other Liars aren't so sure about.
6. Keeping Byron's secret a secret. Aria also explains that Meredith has convinced her to refrain from telling anyone about Byron's (Chad Lowe) secret until they get a chance to talk to him. That sounds very suspicious to us.
7. Toby wants to know about Mona. Below, Emily (Shay Mitchell) and Toby chat, and Toby wonders if Mona has done anything to the Liars since she's been back. "You'd tell me if things started up again, wouldn't you?" he asks. Is he testing her? Is there information he needs? We're confused.
8. Caleb is concerned. In this sneak peek, Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) tells Hanna (Ashley Benson) he's worried about what Mona will do now that Hanna has pissed her off. He wants to stay one step ahead of "A", but Hanna wants him to stay safe. We feel like those are mutually exclusive goals.
For more on the episode, check out our breakdown of the preview.
Catch the episode on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

This cymbal's trashy, noisy sound is as distinctive as its look.
For the first EFX cymbal in the K Series, Zildjian has combined the same die-cut pattern featured in its A Custom EFX cymbals with the darker tone and traditional look of the K cymbals. This cymbal has a thin weight and a crash-size bell, so the response, decay, and projection are good.
Its sound is a dark and explosive combination of trash and white noise.

News Releases
Parents Beware—Many Toys Still Toxic, Hazardous
Dangerous or toxic toys can still be found on America's store shelves, according to U.S. Public Interest Research Group's 28th annual Trouble in Toyland report. Palmetto Health Children's Hospital partnered with U.S. PIRG to release its report which reveals that despite recent progress, consumers must still be wary when shopping this holiday season.
The report reveals the results of laboratory testing on toys for toxic chemicals including lead, cadmium, and phthalates, all of which can have serious adverse health impacts on the development of children. The survey also found small toys that pose a choking hazard, extremely loud toys that threaten children's hearing and toy magnets that can cause serious injury if swallowed.
"We should be able to trust that the toys we buy are safe. However, until that's the case, parents need to watch out for common hazards when shopping for toys," said Jeff Holloway, M.D., Palmetto Health Children's Hospital and University of South Carolina Sports Medicine pediatrician.
For 28 years, the U.S.PIRG Trouble in Toyland report has offered safety guidelines for purchasing toys for small children and provided examples of toys currently on store shelves that pose potential safety hazards. The group also provides a quiz to help educate parents and others about toy-related hazards.
Key findings from the report include:
Over the past five years, stronger rules have helped get some of the most dangerous toys and children's products off the market. Improvements made in 2008's Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act tightened lead limits and phased out dangerous phthalates. However, not all toys comply with the law, and holes in the toy safety net remain.
"No child should ever be injured, get sick, or die from playing with a dangerous toy," said Holloway.

'Zoom Into Nano'
Kidsenses Children's Museum is introducing its guests to the world of nanoscience through a special traveling exhibit called Zoom Into Nano. The exhibit will be in the museum until Saturday, March 29.
"For a lot of people the field of nanoscience can come across as being an unfamiliar field. By having this exhibit we are hoping to really enlighten the minds of children and adults to the field," Joseph Knight, education director at Kidsenses said. "Nanoscale sciences, nanoscience and nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small things and can be used across all the other fields of science."
This exhibit was created by the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE) and is sponsored by the North Carolina Grassroots Science Museums Collaborative.
"The North Carolina Grassroots Science Museums Collaborative is a collaborative that Kidsenses has been a part of for a number of years. Grassroots happens to be the only statewide partner with museums in the country that's dedicated to inspiring and educating today's youth and adults in science and technology for North Carolina's competitive future," Knight said. "Grassroots museums are located all across the state and it is because of our partnership with them that the exhibit is showing at our museum."
The traveling exhibit includes hands-on, interactive exhibits that invite exploration of nano phenomena and real world applications and implications.
According to Knight, there are several components of the exhibit that are very captivating for the guests. It includes areas like "Small, Smaller Nano" section.
"In the Small, Smaller Nano visitors can explore progressively smaller magnetic materials, a magnetic fan, iron powder and a magnetic fluid. Kids absolutely love interacting with that component of the exhibit," Knight said. "In addition we have a giant carbon nanotube that can be built by the children, which has been another very popular part of the exhibit."
Another popular area is the "I Spy a Nano" where visitors can try a series of interactive challenges and then search images for examples of real nano products.
"We are very thankful to have the exhibit. It's an awesome attraction for children and adults. I like everything about it. I love how the exhibit connects the filed of nanoscience to real world applications," Knight said. "It's great having the exhibit at the museum to reinforce the content that we discuss in our science demonstrations."

Getting a GeforceFX 5950 and a Voodoo5 PCI to play together?? Any ideas?
Ok guys,
here's one you prolly don't encounter often. I want to use my GeforceFX 5950 (flashed from 5900) alongside a Voodoo5 PCI (ahhh, 3dfx, those were the days). Now, I don't want to use two monitors really, so I need some way of connecting these two graphics cards to the same monitor. Does anyone know how to do this? Kind of like a KVM switch but for graphics cards.
The idea behind this setup is mainly twofold. First, the Voodoo5 apparently scales very well with better CPU's, so my 2.2ghz AthlonXP, while not the fastest, is still way more than enough to let the Voodoo show me everything it can do when put in a better system than those available in 2001. Second, I like to play some older games as well, and many of them were written for or are compatible with the 3dfx's Glide api, and so I want to run them off the Voodoo now.
I also have two other side interests here. First, I do have a place in my heart for 3dfx (c'mon, back in the day they whupped it up), and also I'm trying to find out if multiple Voodoo5 PCI's can be run in SLI. This last part is probably not doable, but it should be noted that Quantum3D did it with as many as 32 VSA-100 chips in a single system for their high-end visual reality simulators. So as you might imagine, I'm having dreams of 4 Voodoo5's occupying my PCI slots banging out some UT2004 goodness, 3dfx style ;-)
If anyone is interested in trying to figure this out, lemme know. firstname.lastname@example.com
AMD AthlonXP 2600+ @ 2.2ghz (10x200)
Epox 8rd+ rev 1.1
512mb DDR400 @ 2.5-3-3-11
GeforceFX 5950 w/ 128mb DDR @ 484/884
3dfx Voodoo5 PCI w/ 64mb SDRAM @ 200/200
60gb HD / 120gb HD
16x DVD-R/RW +/-
500W PSU (piece o crap)
WinXP SP2
Re: Getting a GeforceFX 5950 and a Voodoo5 PCI to play together?? Any ideas?
Why not just use a glide wrapper? The one available from here is about the most compatible one out there. I've had great success getting Carmageddon 2 to run on any NVIDIA card I've owned. He does offer names of other wrappers in case what you want to play isn't listed.
Re: Getting a GeforceFX 5950 and a Voodoo5 PCI to play together?? Any ideas?
There are some switches out there that switch each graphic card from primary display. They were used in really old alienware systems where TNT2/Voodoo3's were used.
You are aware of the sick power requirements for such a setup aye?

First off, we have new content coming.
Two (yes, two) new races will be added to the game for 1.3.
The Space Chickens will be feature-complete, and a new race, tentatively named the "Wolfoids" (kudos if you get the reference) will be in 1.3. We're not promising that they'll be perfectly balanced yet, but progress is being made!
Oh, and also we might finally have combat on the sea, with giant Resistance and Overmind warships dueling it out with giant guns and huge explosions. Just thought I'd mention that ;-)
And a new Demo build is about ready, featuring some new content and small fixes. We'll have links to it when it's done.
not to sound harsh, but i may aswell play supreme commander or total anhilation if i want this kind of fix.
though dont let me saying that put anyone off buying this, i just have no money to spend.
I can't really justify the purchase of Supreme Commander, but I do hear you on the Total Annihilation point.
Hey, we totally understand the "no money to spend thing". The Demo's fun, and has several hours of single-player gameplay and full working multiplayer, though.
actually for some of us it really isn't that we have no money to spend and its actually no payment methods....if i had some form of payment method (do you accept pay by mail) that i could send by other than credit card or bank account stuff? oh and some of us are kids and cant pay by phone either lol
Lol i know that cursor, anyway i like this game :) especially the invasion mode.
Today's Feature:
Say, does this engine have destructible terrain?
You can destroy just about everything you see. The engine supports terrain morphs, but we do not use that feature, because it's a performance hog if you use it for anything but infrequent events. We may have things that can "dig" or "raise hills" in a later release.
Graphs look nice!
state of the art graphics??? LOL
We have normalmap / depthmap stuff coming (i.e., 100% state-of-the-art) but we're waiting on the next official build of the Spring Engine before we deploy it :-)
could anybody do map packs for this game? it would be better if there is more skirmish maps.
There are numerous maps available for the Spring engine, merely visit Spring.jobjol.nl

Once again, Timika's Rimba Hotel was the site of a negotiation between Freeport workers and the mining company's management on the wages of the former. At least the two sides agreed to break now and meet again soon. The workers will think over Freeport's newest offer to increase wages, but it won't be the increase the workers had demanded.
Meanwhile, at the entrance to the vast Grasberg copper and gold mine, the NKRI (Unitary Republic of Indonesia) flag still waves. Indonesian television footage played footage of some workers saying they remain loyal to Indonesia and that their only concern was better welfare for the Papuan people.
In Jakarta, Papua the past week's hottest talk with new revelations about the separatist movement, corruption, local wisdom and the handling of the Papua problem.
One of my journalist colleagues spoke to an Amungme tribal chief who pondered taking over Freeport for the benefit and welfare of the Papuan people. Although he did not know how or whether that was possible, at least he voiced out his aspirations. The chief also addressed his main concern that Freeport is taking too much of his people's ancestral wealth and that Freeport was one of the main problems of Papua.
But it was the revelation that police have been receiving large cash payments from Freeport which shocked people most. National Police Chief Gen. Timur Pradopo last Friday admitted that police units have indeed received money from Freeport. He called those payments "lunch money."
According to rights group Imparsial Freeport pays the police $14 million annually. Freeport itself also confirmed that it has given operational funds to police and to members of the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI). This has prompted numerous activists and lawmakers to demand investigations into what seems to be a shady practice.
In March 2010, the Rimba hotel in Timika was the site of a signing of a memorandum between Freeport and Indonesian police which pundits say was an agreement to provide security. The meeting was recorded on video.
Neta S Pane, chairman of Police Watch, an influential police watchdog, said that Freeport was mining uranium, an allegation which has yet to be proved. He also said that if Freeport made the payments, it was illegal and that Freeport could be prosecuted.
Golkar politician Bambang Soesatyo, also a member of House Commission III which overseas law enforcement, said police have engaged in thuggery for Freeport. "The police can't receive money from Freeport. If they do, they will not be neutral but will side with the miner. It's illegal. Operational funds for the police have to come from the state budget," he said.
United States law also prohibits American companies from paying, or offering to pay, foreign officials to gain a business advantage. It covers non-monetary gifts or offers in addition to cash payments.
From the 1950s to the mid-1970s, a number of American companies paid money to people of influence in foreign governments. The most famous case was the Lockheed bribery scandal. The company paid people in the governments of Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Indonesia, Iran and Saudi Arabia to guarantee contracts for military aircraft.
What will happen if average Americans and their congressmen and senators find out that a repeat of huge US corporations making illegal payments is happening today? What will US Congressman Faleomavaega Eni Hunkin say when he hears about this?
Meanwhile, Freeport and the problem of overall security in Papua have caught Indonesia's attention. Army Chief General Pramono Edhie Wibowo has said that armed violence must be countered with arms while Intelligence Chief Marciano Norman regarded the security disturbances as criminal acts.
Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro was the only official who bluntly said that the Abepura incident was an act of separatism on Indonesian soil and therefore had to be dispersed.
But Indonesian officialdom was also to blame for the failure in providing welfare in Papua, especially due to rampant corruption.
The government gave more than Rp 28 trillion to the Papuan people for development and promoting welfare. But alas, the Papuans remain impoverished. Where has all the money gone? Papuan activists and tribal chiefs say the funds have been misappropriated by both Jakarta and Jakarta-appointed officials in Papua. It is a public secret that Papuan regents enjoy excessive luxury and wealth.
Both the provinces of Papua and West Papua lack adequate schools and infrastructure. They could have been provided with their essential needs with that kind of money. Instead, local wisdom and indigenous rights have been neglected.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has formed a special team called UP4B with the task of accelerating development in the provinces of Papua and West Papua. To lead the it he has appointed veteran Aceh military commander Lieut. Gen. Bambang Darmono who will be assisted by the president's expert staff on special autonomy regions, which includes Velix Wanggai, top Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) researcher Adriana Elizabeth, House member Paskalis Kossay and former state secretariat minister Bondan Gunawan.
The team will assess of the implementation special autonomy and the use of the Rp 28 trillion of development funds.
Darmono was known to be unfriendly with journalists during his time in Aceh while Bondan, who served under Gus Dur, said he would not be satisfied with the formation of the team unless President Yudhoyono visits Papua himself and for a dialogue with its people.
"The Papua problems can't be solved with just economic an approach. Local wisdom that must be accounted for," he said.

So P.K. Subban won the Norris Trophy as the National Hockey League's best defenceman. Does this really surprise anyone? Certainly not yours truly.
Sure, Subban is still trying to escape the shadow of his previous misgivings, but by and large, P.K. was the best rearguard in the league at both ends of the ice. His offensive prowess cannot be reproached, and his aptitude for timely, bone-crushing hits, along with his ability to effectively manage the defensive zone was surely evident to all the love the game of hockey.
Has Subban learned his lesson, or is it feasible that we may see the cocky P.K. of old next season? In my opinion, the simple fact that he selflessly attributed much of his success to his team in his acceptance speech, while saying nothing about himself or his effort on the ice, speaks volumes towards his maturation over the past few months.
The credit for that titbit of work not only lies with Subban, but with Canadiens' General Manager Marc Bergevin and head coach Michel Therrien. You may think I'm off my rocker in mentioning Therrien, who is widely thought of as a bit of a hot-head, but having witnessed his coaching abilities in the QMJHL, as well as the work he did in pacifying an exuberant Sidney Crosby in Pittsburgh, his influence is undeniable.
Suffice it to say that P.K. has definitely earned himself a substantial pay raise in his next contract negotiations. And while most pundits may believe that Bergevin made a mistake in signing Subban to his most recent "bridge" contract, the Habs' GM did what was right. He put the ball in P.K.'s court and let him decide his own future.
Either way, Bergevin wins. He either resigns Subban to a long-term deal himself, or he can wait until the season is up to see what other GMs deem P.K.'s value to be. I don't see it even getting close to the latter before number 76 is resigned, but stranger things have happened in this town in recent years.
Needless to say, not too shabby for the #43 pick in the 2007 NHL entry draft.
In just two games in the Stanley Cup finals, we've seen fantastic goaltending, great pace, highlight reel goals and four overtime periods. While it doesn't do much for my efficiency in my day job, this series is certainly providing an exemplary level of entertainment.
While much of #PlanetHabs hates...no, loathes the Boston Bruins, there is no denying their right to represent the Eastern Conference in the finals. Having struggled mightily against the Toronto Maple Leafs, they managed nothing short of a miracle in beating them, then cruised through the lowly New York Rangers, while sweeping the high octane Pittsburgh Penguins. Lead by goaltender Tuukka Rask, who has eclipsed the shadow left behind by Tim Thomas, as well as the KHL line (Krecji, Horton and Lucic), they have been a force to be reckoned with.
The Blackhawks, having beaten their own Achilles' heel in the Detroit Red Wings, were the class of the Western Conference and were the consensus pick to get to the finals. With limited contributions from sniper Marion Hossa and "Captain Serious" Jonathan Toews, they managed to get to this point of the backs of goaltender Corey Crawford, who has silenced his detractors, and the scoring of Patrick Kane.
The Bruins have done a masterful job of neutralizing Toews and Patrick Sharp in two games of the Final so far, and the longer games have gone, the more ineffective Hossa and Kane have become. That's not to say they don't get any scoring chances, but the Beantown Bruisers are built for the long and punishing grind that the Finals demand.
I picked Boston to win the series in seven games, and by all indications so far, that's the direction we are heading in. However, if I can ask one thing from both sides...

Well, it appears that studios are once again hip to the fact that some viewers really enjoy compelling stories and contextual violence. For that reason, it appears as though mob movies are back in full swing with the latest being Ness/Capone, a take on the cat-and-mouse relationship that is decidedly different from DePalma's The Untouchables. Ness/Capone seems to suggest a more taunting, prideful dynamic between the G-Man and the mob boss.
Of course, because it's not possible for Hollywood to have just one of any type of film in development at a time, we feel obligated to report that Warner Bros. has gotten cracking on Cicero, a Capone film that outlines his rise to power, which also sounds kind of awesome. David Yates, director of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has expressed interest in Cicero, though he's not yet attached.
Warner is also getting dirty with Gangster Squad, which is a historical mob pic that focuses on LA kingpin Mickey Cohen (played by Sean Penn) and also will star Ryan Gosling and Josh Brolin.
Rather than promoting a clear favorite, I really just hope all three of these get made. They sound awesome. (Deadline)
Consider posting a comment.
I thought that Al Capone's origins would be told in The Untouchables: Capone Rising.

I'm starting to get a familiar itch.
This is the time of year when high school softball and baseball seasons wind down. District softball tournaments are scheduled for April 14-18 and district baseball tournaments will be played April 21-25.
The softball region quarterfinals are April 24 and region semifinals will follow April 29. Baseball's region quarterfinals are scheduled for April 30 and the region semifinals are May 6.
A little baseball trivia here: May 6 also is the 83rd birthday of Baseball Hall of Famer Willie Mays.
Five days before Willie celebrates his big day, high school football teams across the state will open spring practice.
There is something special about spring football.
Any real Southern football fan will likely tell you their two favorite sports are football and spring football. Yes, this is the time of year when high school football fanatics of the mightiest Class 8A teams and the tiniest Class 1A teams glimpse what things might look like in the fall.
And while fans look forward to spring practice, it is even more highly anticipated by players and coaches.
Spring drills' start is a welcome relief for players who will finally get to see the field after a winter of lifting weights and conditioning. Spring ball is the first opportunity for young players to make their mark and for older players who struggled to reinvent themselves.
Spring football season also is when coaches start filling voids left by graduation, injuries and, in some cases, transfers. And there are times when coaches will set about to reinvent their team changing offensive or defensive schemes to best fit the players they have on the roster.
Locally, Baker and Crestview are coming off 2013 seasons that were filled with surprises and big moments.
In Matt Brunson's third season at the Baker program's helm he led the Gators to an undefeated regular season and the District 1-1A championship. Baker lost to Cottondale in the playoffs' first round, but the future looks bright for the Gators with Brunson calling the shots.
Crestview didn't win the District 1-7A championship or make the playoffs under first-year head coach Tim Hatten, but many Bulldog fans might say beating Niceville for the first time in 30 years is even bigger than winning a district championship.
With a win over the Eagles under their belts, the Bulldogs can now believe they have a realistic shot at winning the district.
In the next few weeks I'll be sitting down with Brunson and Hatten to discuss key personnel losses and how they plan to fill those voids. My plan is to basically see how all things football related shape up heading into the spring.
Yes, it's that time of year again when I'm feeling a familiar itch that can only be cured by a little football.
Spring practice starts in 29 days.

Junior TE Orson Charles becomes Georgia's first Mackey Award finalist.
Nov. 21, 2011
ATHENS, Ga. --- Georgia junior Orson Charles was named one of three finalists for the 2011 John Mackey Award on Monday night, which is awarded annually to the most outstanding tight end in college football.
Clemson's Dwayne Allen and Notre Dame's Tyler Eifert join Charles as the three finalists for this year's honor. Arkansas' D.J. Williams was the 2010 recipient as Florida's Aaron Hernandez claimed the 2009 award. Charles represents the first Bulldog to be named a finalist since the award started in 2000.
The Mackey Award winner will be presented live at the Home Depot ESPN College Football Awards Red Carpet Show in Orlando, Fla., on December 8 at 6 p.m. on ESPNU.
Charles, a 6-3, 241-pound native of Tampa, Fla., has the most receptions of any Bulldog this year (35) and has recorded 435 yards receiving and five touchdowns through 11 games. With Georgia surging to third in the Southeastern Conference in total offense at 427.6 yards per game during the team's nine-game winning streak, Charles is coming off a performance where he led the Bulldogs with 40 yards receiving on three catches versus Kentucky.
Teaming up at Georgia with his former quarterback at Plant High School, Aaron Murray, Charles is tied for the most all-time career touchdown catches for any Georgia tight end with 10 and is ranked second in career yardage (1,231) and third in receptions (84). Charles has started 26 games in his career, including the last 21 in a row, and has been a key component to the Bulldogs having three different 100-yard rushers this season.
Charles has been a captain three times this season as he has also contributed on the kickoff team, PAT/field goal team and punt return team, including blocking a punt at Vanderbilt. A member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll with a 3.15 GPA, Charles has played a major role in the Bulldogs capturing their first outright SEC Eastern Division title since 2005.
The 14th-ranked Bulldogs (9-2, 7-1 SEC) travel to Atlanta to take on 25th-ranked Georgia Tech (8-3, 5-3 ACC) on Saturday at noon. ESPN will televise the matchup.

I submitted an application to the California DMV using the downloaded Form Reg 1000 and sent it off with my $8.00 check to the DMV Special Processing Unit in Sacramento last February 2013. I have not heard from them nor seen a debit of my bank cheque.
I re-submitted again the same application with a new $8 cheque sent to the same address above early this month (April 4, 2013) and I have not heard nor seen any debit of the second cheque.
It has been a total of 80 days since my first application was sent and no action.
Anyone having the same problems with their application?
Below is their address:
mail to: Department of Motor Vehicles
SPECIAL Processing Unit – MS D238
P. O. Box 932345, Sacramento, Ca 94232-345
It can take a while. Had you received your plates when you filed? It's required that you have permanent plates assigned when you submit...
Yes I did receive my plates about 2 weeks after I took delivery of my MS 60. I read somewhere on this forum that it does take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks. But it's been more than 10 weeks now. And there is really no way to follow up.
I applied February 9 and got my stickers on April 11. Takes awhile.
I applied on 2/2/13 and I just got mine in the mail today.
I just got mine. It only took about a month for me.
I applied April 6 by mail (have had plates a couple months) and installed the stickers April 27th.. not too bad a wait.
It took exactly 2 weeks for me :)

Annual Hunger Auction
Published on: 11/04/13
Eighth Dimension's Annual Hunger Auction is drawing near, and we look forward to your assistance. Each year, faculty members, members of the staff and administration, and some students offer to cook a dinner for students to bid on at the auction, with all money going to local charities. The date of the dinner is mutually chosen by the buyer and by you, the "provider." Dinners can be made for whatever size party is most convenient. In the past years, several thousand dollars were earned at each auction and then donated to such groups as the People's Emergency Center, St. John's Hospice, and St. Mary's Respite Center.
This year's Hunger Auction is being planned for Monday, November 18 through Thursday, November 21, and we would like to have it organized as soon as possible. Once items to be auctioned are known, we can make flyers and signs and start getting students excited for some great food and a great cause. If you would like to donate a dinner or any other item to this year's Hunger Auction, or if you have any questions, please contact the Eighth Dimension Office at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you in advance for your support and we look forward to another very successful auction this year.

i was talking about the existence of Jesus Christ, is he real? why should i believe him? where is he now?
Views: 1975
Sarah believes in god and Jesus, I do not. But on this site we can still be friends.
your such a great person with a strong beliefs
And I Micmic, do not think that there is any proof for the things that Sarah believes, but I respect her right to believe as she chooses.
I like and respect Sarah as a person too. I'm glad she's here.
But I find belief in God less worthy of respect than belief in leprechauns. Nobody ever destroyed much of lower Manhattan convinced they would awaken to a magically delicious breakfast.
i respect her too, to be honest i learned something from her, but still nothing can changes my beliefs about i am now.
And she will quickly tell you that she has learned much from us, but still nothing can change her beliefs. But we can all be friends. No one needs to get angry just because we believe differently.
that's true, and we respect each other, we people are made to be social not to eat each other.
@Sarah, Do you pray Sarah? of course you are, but have you ever pray for an atheist?
What do you think god (Jesus) will say?
For good and proper measure, here are some versus which encapsulate my own feelings about proper submission to God:
"I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent." - Timothy 2:12
"So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go. At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight. When her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house and stepped out to continue on his way, there lay his concubine, fallen in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. He said to her, 'Get up; let's go.' But there was no answer. Then the man put her on his donkey and set out for home." - Judges 19:25-28
"Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord." - Ephesians 5:22
Thus, it's official: women are slaves for men, sexually and otherwise. Or perhaps if we go with a more generous interpretation: women are livestock for men. This includes a duty to endure brutal gang rape, but thankfully, the woman gets a free donkey ride afterward. It's God's holy word, after all.
But don't let that get you down. The status of being livestock is not reserved exclusively for women. Millions of Africans had the same honor for centuries. Heck, the Southern Baptist Convention was founded specifically because "[t]he right of holding slaves is clearly established by the Holy Scriptures, both by precept and example." Here's one of the many examples to which the Reverend Doctor Richard Furman was referring:
"Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel." 1 Peter 2:18
God's will is clear. But if slavery still isn't enough, how about infanticide?
"Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us: He who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks." - Psalm 137.
You'd think the Pro-Life movement would take note of God's happy and holy treatment of actual post-unborn infants and stop fussing about blastocysts and morning-after pills.
@GM - RE: "'I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.' - Timothy 2:12"
Supposedly, that was a letter written by Paul, but others of Paul's letters have shown great respect for women, even to the point of considering one to be a Deacon in the church, an almost unheard of thing at the time. Most new Testament scholars believe that Timothy was a forgery written by someone who wanted his agenda heeded, so he wrote it using Paul's name.
RE: "thankfully, the woman gets a free donkey ride afterward" - you didn't read far enough, a little later, he chops her into twelve pieces for being a slut, after he was the one who sent her out in the first place.
On a more modern-day note, did you hear about the 16-year old girl in Egypt? A young guy tried to cop a feel, and she spat in his face. he pulled out a gun and shot her, then told police his gun went off accidentally. Some things never change.
[[Most new Testament scholars believe that Timothy was a forgery written by someone who wanted his agenda heeded, so he wrote it using Paul's name.]]
That's impossible. Every last letter in the Bible is perfect, unalterable, truthful, and accurate, and God Himself uses His magical powers to ensure this is so.
"Do not add to His words, or He will rebuke you and prove you a liar." - PRO 30:6
"I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book." REV 22:18,19
See? God Himself would have smote any forgers, and He would have stepped forward and provided proof Himself if anyone added anything untrue to His Holy Bible. So far, God has been silent and quite averse to providing proof (of any kind) so we can all rest assured, Timothy is legit. Send me a PM. I know a good place to buy a donkey. The concubine is a bit harder to come by.
Also, God responded to the confusion those ignorant and unstable New Testament scholars have about Timothy, and long before they were ever born. If Paul had been distorted or forged, God would have destroyed the forger.
"[Paul] writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction." - 2PE 3:16
We can also be confident in the absolute perfection and usefulness of every last bit of scripture.
"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." - 2TI 3:16,17
"The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple." - PSA 19:7
"Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him." - PRO 30:5
"Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." - JOS 1:8
And not the teeniest part of God's Word can change until Judgment Day:
"I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." - MAT 5:18 - [Note: JESUS said this himself!]
"By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear." - ISA 45:23
[[You didn't read far enough, a little later, he chops her into twelve pieces for being a slut, after he was the one who sent her out in the first place.]]
Yeah, I read that. But, please. There are ladies present. Not that they're allowed to say anything to us anyway.
I hadn't heard about the young lady in Egypt. Her owner must be ticked. I thought acid in the face was the preferred method for correcting uppity women in the Mid-East. Here in the US, of course, it's voting Republican.
RE: "I know a good place to buy a donkey. The concubine is a bit harder to come by."
I don't know about you, but where I come from, concubines are easier to buy than donkeys.
But you're right, most of the men in the Bible felt that women were great, and that every man ought to own one - two, if he could afford it.

The use of FSC-certified woods and reclaimed brick helps the Andaz 5th Avenue hotel offer a warm, intimate environment while paying homage to New York City's luxe, century-old apartment residences.
Photography by Nicholas Koenig
View larger
Thanks to locally sourced materials such as reclaimed brick used in the public areas and FSC-certified woods for paneling and cabinetry, New York City's Andaz 5th Avenue offers up a warmth and intimacy that welcomes one and all, while still paying homage to the city's luxe, century-old apartment residences.
This LEED Silver-certified property boasts a sophisticated building management system, which primarily
monitors the lighting and HVAC systems of the hotel. In the public areas, it maintains adequate light levels throughout the day based on outdoor conditions. Food recycling and composting facilities, as well as water-saving fixtures, also add to the rating.
In the guestrooms, the lighting and energy management system provided by Inncom allows for guest control of the lighting and air conditioning, and allows the house to operate the systems efficiently when the rooms are not rented. This leads to better use of energy resources during operations and also provides the house with overall energy savings.
In addition to its sustainable attributes, the
building has a storied history; it was actually the
largest and the last of the Rogers, Peet & Co.
department stores, and later became the Tommy Hilfiger global headquarters. That lineage is well
represented here—floor-to-ceiling windows allow
for natural light and exposed pipe ceilings recall
industrial New York. Factory sash windows similarly nod to the city's pre-war apartments and factories, while providing unrestricted views of area icons,
such as the Empire State Building and the New York Public Library.
But it's the Andaz' tailored sense of hospitality that truly sets it apart. Barriers between guests and employees have been torn down, as there is no check-in desk. A host checks in guests at their own pace; complimentary wi-fi is provided throughout the hotel, as well as calls to local area codes. Mini-bars are free of charge.
Materials are not the only thing "locally sourced." The 38-seat restaurant offers ingredients sourced
from New York state farms and local purveyors. The downstairs bar features an open kitchen, further
blostering the Andaz' welcoming nature. Two oversized, 14-foot claro walnut wood slabs serve as the bars. The bar space has an open ceiling of exposed beams and fixtures, and a warm brick wall from a 1790 rural Connecticut farmhouse lines the entrance and basement walls.

LAYTON, Utah - The Cal State Northridge men's golf team shot a blistering opening round 283 followed by a second round 291 as the Matadors are fifth heading into Tuesday's final round of the Purple and Red Invitational at Valley View G.C.
Northridge was just one shot off the team pace after one round but finished the second round at 291 and sit at 574 heading into Tuesday's final 18 holes. The University of Arkansas-Little Rock carded rounds of 286-276 (562) and holds a five-shot lead over Weber State (567) after two rounds.

Bristol Palin is back to talk with Kevin Scholla after advancing another round! Breaking It Down With Bristol- Episode 3: Bristol and Mark dance to Red Neck Woman and despite little love from the judges, the voters speak loud and clear. We'll look back at Bristol's latest performance and look ahead to what's next on Dancing With The Stars: All Stars. Find out what Bristol thinks about the upcoming double elimination and how support from family helps her on the dance floor. Tune in now and each week to Breaking It Down With Bristol on SarahNET Radio and get the inside scoop on DWTS with Bristol Palin and Kevin Scholla.
Sign On and Introduction
"Bristol, how's it going?" Scholla asked. "I'm good, how are ya?" she responded. "Another week down. Joey Fatone of 'N Sync fame voted off," Sholla started. "I'm bummed that he's gone, man," Bristol said. "He's a lot of fun, isn't he?" Scholla asked. "Yeah, he definitely is," she responded.
Surprised to not be in Jeopardy
"You know, after Monday, you and Mark had the lowest scores from the judges, but then on Tuesday, not only did you survive, you weren't even in jeopardy. You were deemed safe early in the show. Were you surprised?" Scholla asked.
"I was kind of surprised that they didn't say we were in jeopardy, because I think they do that a lot for ratings, but I'm so grateful, thankful … and I'm just glad to be doing another week of this," Bristol said.
"Well, I've gotta tell you: we voted like maniacs. I for one – I voted so much, my fingers bled like Bryan Adams on his first real six-string – and Bristol, my Bears played that Monday night too, so I was multi-tasking," Scholla said.
"Well, thank you so much for voting and just thank you to everyone who did vote and it's been really good. It's been awesome," Bristol said.
"Haterade" as Incentive
"We have a lot of people – you know – who have been voting – who haven't ever done anything like this before, and they're enjoying it and they're also enjoying the show – some who haven't seen it before. So, as you can imagine, there was this outrage from some that you made it. I saw the Tweets that were saying, 'this isn't politics. This is dancing. Bristol should've been out.' But, these are the same people who say, 'it's just dancing,' but then go through the roof when you win, so I've gotta ask you: do you use the Haterade a little as some extra incentive?" Scholla asked.
"Oh, absolutely, you know, I think the people who are going to be talking crap about me, or the fact that I've got some awesome American patriots behind me – if they're going to use that and not like me for it – it's just going to give me motivation to stick it to 'em and just do better each week," Bristol said.
On "Redneck Woman" Pick and Dance Theme
"And, it's such a silly criticism too, because obviously people vote for somebody who may have played for their favorite team, or who – you know – is someone they followed through their music career, or what have you. You told us last week that this dance was going to be 'all you' and it was. 'Redneck Woman.' People loved it. They loved your outfit. I liked the 'beer bottle over the head' ending, the cactus in the back. Just great. Did you pick the song yourself," Scholla asked.
"Well, we can submit songs, but it's a long process for them to get cleared and everything to be okay with the production side of it, so I chose that one and just submitted it, and I was surprised that we actually got it. But, I'm thankful that I got to do a dance that was me, even with the low scores. It wasn't a popular Hollywood dance, but my family enjoyed it, Tripp enjoyed it, and that's all that matters to me," Bristol said.
"How did your mom like the dance?" Scholla asked.
"She loved it. I think she liked the outfit – you know – total redneck. It was fun. It was a blast to be able to dance to that song," Bristol said.
"Gretchen Wilson sang that song at one of your mom's events a few years ago," Scholla said. "Did she really?" Bristol asked. "Yeah, so when I heard that, I said 'that's a perfect fit in so many ways.' You said after the scores that you're basically going to get sixes no matter what. We all thought you deserved higher," Scholla said.
Bar Set Higher
"You know, I think the stakes are just a lot higher this season, and the Quickstep that I did a few years ago on my first season with Dancing With the Stars, I got eights in it. So this time, the bar is definitely a lot higher, but I enjoyed the dance. I'm glad that we got through it, and I'm thankful that we're on to Week Three. This is a whole new week, a whole new vibe, and whole new dance. I'm excited for this one as well," Bristol said.
"Maybe it will help you though, the way you talked about the sixes and the scores, ya know – NBA style – you complained just a little bit, but be nice about it and you get a call next time if you're between a seven-and-a-half and an eight, and hopefully they give you the eight," Scholla said. "Yeah, hopefully," Bristol responded. Scholla continued, "I also thought you handled the scores great, posting a text from your grandmother, Sally Heath that night saying, 'all that really matters' when she reached out to you."
Grandma an iPhone Master
"Oh yeah, absolutely. My grandma just got an iPhone, so I just think it's hilarious every time I see her name pop up, under an iMessage or something," Bristol said laughing. "It just makes my day every time."
"That's impressive. My grandmother is afraid to touch "on demand" on cable. I think she thinks we're going to send a nuclear bomb if she watches a show that wasn't on at the right time, so I give your grandma a lot of props there – so also your grandfather and your uncle were on the Palin Update recently and they were rooting for you from a hotel in the middle of a big book tour, so you just have support everywhere: your family, friends – like you said – patriots – everybody on board."
Track Palin: Real American Hero
"I know. I'm so thankful for it. I'm so thankful to have my family backing me. I got to talk to my brother today. He's in Afghanistan right now, and he didn't even know I was on the show, because he's been out of communication for so long, so it was just funny to be able to tell him I'm doing the show and just asking him to pray for me, and it really puts it all in perspective. He's out there fighting for our country, Bristol said. She acknowledged, "there's just so much bigger things in life [than Dancing With the Stars], but this is just so much fun to be able to do a healthy, fun competition right now."
"Well, we are absolutely thinking of him, that's for sure: a real American hero," Scholla said.
What's in Store Tonight
"Okay, looking ahead to week three, a double elimination coming up. Does that change your approach, and can you let us know what you and Mark have in store for us this time around?" Scholla asked.
"Well, this time around, we have the Paso, which is like a bull-fighting dance, so it's a lot different than the Quickstep that we just had. But, coming into it this week, I'm looking at the same as I always have. You know, I'm just going to focus on my routine, doing the best that I can do in that routine, and hopefully our fans will get us through another week, but it's kind of intimidating knowing that there's going to be two couples going home and I'm just hoping and praying that it's not us," Bristol said.
Other Conservatives on DWTS?
"We've been getting a lot of emails and correspondence on Facebook and Twitter from fans wanting to ask you a question, so just a couple: so Stephanie Johnson from Indiana wants to know this – if you know this – are there any conservatives among the rest of the cast, the pros, the celebrities, the judges that you know of?" Scholla asked.
"You know Chelsie Hightower? She is from Utah, so I'm pretty sure she's a conservative. We've got some of the same political views, so it's refreshing to be able to have a conversation with her, but it's definitely a liberal world out here," Bristol said. "And still, you're doing a such a great job, though. That makes it even more impressive," Scholla said.
Approach Changing from Fun to More Competitive?
Scholla continued, "and one more email we got. 'Are you changing your approach from just having fun to more competitive as the series moves on?'" Bristol responded, "oh man, yes! This week, we had a rough week. You can tell that everything is – it's a higher level of competition, and I'm taking it more seriously this time around, and Mark and I – we're like a married couple in this right now – and kind of go at each other's throats and you'll see that on Monday night, but it's definitely a higher level of competition, and I'm pretty competitive. You might not see it on the dance show, but I'm pretty competitive, so I'm definitely working harder, and really trying my best."
Palins Showcase Park Lane Jewelry
"I also got an email from some folks at Park Lane. They were so happy to see you wear some of their stuff, and apparently Gov. Palin also had some of their earrings on, so you have some fans there too, Bristol. You're doing a great job," Scholla said. "Well, thank you so much," Bristol said as she laughed. "I really appreciate everyone's support and it just means a ton to me."
Farewell and Sign Off
"It was a big week personally, you know. The Bears won, Romney won the debate hands down, and Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas most importantly advanced. Go Grizzly on 'em this week. The voters are ready. I hope the judges are a little more prepared this time too," Scholla said. "Me, too. Thank you so much for everything," Bristol said. "Thanks, Bristol. Be safe. God bless," Scholla said. "You, too. Thank you. Bye bye," Bristol said.
