The parking lot at the Goodwill store on U.S. 1 in Rockledge is always full, but it's not just shoppers stopping there. The site is also a Goodwill Job Connection Center.
- Filed Under
Shopping for bargains at Goodwill is the real deal - so cool that when Macklemore and Ryan Lewis topped music charts with the song "Thrift Shop," the hip-hop duo from Seattle wound up with Grammy awards in their hands.
But could all those cars at the Goodwill site on U.S. 1 in Rockledge really belong to treasure-seekers looking for everything from housewares and handbags to flannel zebra jammies?
Turns out, there's much more going on at the store, which opened in 2009. ...

Mastering the mind in battle of the brains
December 1, 2009
By Chantelle Lusebrink
Two Issaquah High School clubs face off for multiple sclerosis fundraiser
Some of Issaquah High School's greatest minds will face-off in a battle of the brains. Issaquah's National Honor Society and Junior State of America clubs are hosting a quiz-bowl competition and they hope you'll join them to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
"This is going to be a fun event," said Kevin Lee, honor society president. "It's put on by an elite group of students. And it's a chance for our organization to give the community a fun night and show adults what we can do.""We're really about debating current issues and topics that are related to us," said junior Matt Sekigima, president of the Junior State of America club. "You name it, we'll debate it.
The group would like to see a packed-house at the event, Masters of the Mind, Dec. 4 at the Pacific Cascade Freshman Campus.
The idea stemmed from the National Honor Society club on campus, which, in addition to achieving high grades, is a community service group.
The club's chapter raises money each year for the Multiple Sclerosis Society, in memory of a former Issaquah High School and Tiger Mountain Community High School teacher, Stacie Aspey, said Amy McGinnis, the group's adviser.Aspey was diagnosed with the disease while attending Humboldt State University at age 20.
Despite the pain of living with multiple sclerosis, she got up each morning, got dressed and went to work to teach thousands of students geometry and algebra.
Issaquah has been without Aspey for three years. She died Nov. 15, 2006, at age 42, but her legacy lives on, Lee said.
"I remember her from freshman year," he said. "I'd come to Issaquah High for math and she was next door to my class. I always remember her as this really nice lady in a wheelchair who'd come into class sometimes. Later that year, she passed on and it was a shock for everyone. She was a significant part of the school."
During the past two years, the school's honor society has hosted a run and walkathon in her honor. This year, the students wanted to step it up a notch, Lee said.
"We wanted to start a cool tradition, have fun and learn at the same time," senior Nicole Arend said.
Each club will have two teams of five participants, who will compete in an enhanced "Jeopardy!"-style competition, McGinnis said.
Faculty will act as judges, and students don't know what categories or questions will be asked ahead of time. The competition also has a lifeline contestant, the school's math teacher Jonathan Ko.
"We're calling it 'Go To Ko To Know,'" McGinnis said, adding that teams will have the opportunity to use Ko's knowledge to solve a problem.
There will also be plenty of opportunities for audience participation, she said.
"We'd love to see middle school students come, parents and adults in the community," McGinnis said. "We want a big turnout to support the cause and give students a chance to show their intellectual side. We're conditioned to watch athletes. It's rare people get to see students think and apply the knowledge they're learning."
The honor society members decided the club to match wits with was the Junior State of America; several members are part of both clubs.
"They're our friends," Lee said. "But it will be a good competition."
The Junior State of America club prides itself in giving students interested in politics and government, foreign affairs, the law and education a forum to speak out, test ideas, discuss current events and try finding solutions or taking action, Sekigima said.
A $1 entrance fee is required, but participants are encouraged to donate whatever they can, McGinnis said. Proceeds go to the Greater Washington chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, which provides research support and financial help to those living with the disease in the area.
The greater Seattle chapter serves more than 8,000 people living with multiple sclerosis, and more than 40,000 of their family members, friends and caregivers throughout western and central Washington.

Cooking ability is a highly sought trait in romantic partners, alongside a sense of humor and having their laser vision totally under control. Heat things up with this Groupon.
$45 for Pasta-Making Class with Dinner ($84 Value)
The basic pasta-making techniques class gives students a hands-on chance to craft fresh pasta and yummy sauces from scratch. After class, pupils get to feast on their handmade food with wine, beer, and soft drinks available for purchase, and take home the leftovers for later.
Cooking Fools
Many cooks would insist that a trusted recipe is the foundation of a good meal, but at Cooking Fools, it's the first thing to go. Their cooking classes unshackle pupils from their cookbooks and encourage creativity in the kitchen. Their chefs exercise the same artistic license over the meals they assemble for catering, takeout, and cooking parties. Adhering to three main principles—quality ingredients, good style, and common sense—the staff crafts healthy versions of typical to-go food, decreasing saturated fats but never flavor. Many of their entrees radiate global inspiration, and are arranged in a modern, artistic way that doesn't outshine flavors. In keeping with the contemporary theme, the servers who circulate the understated dishes at catered events are young, trendy, and rarely whip out their license to prove that they're young and trendy.

University of Wisconsin Stout | Wisconsin's Polytechnic University
That's how employers describe UW-Stout graduates. Our innovative, career-focused degrees combine applied learning and the liberal arts.
That's how employers describe UW-Stout graduates. Our innovative, career-focused degrees combine applied learning and the liberal arts.
An eStout student officially graduating* with an eStout undergraduate degree may have an opportunity to receive a laptop at no additional cost upon graduation; this is called the Laptop Transfer Program.
Students who have participated in the eStout Program with a minimum of 32 qualifying credits and are officially graduating from UW-Stout with an eStout undergraduate degree may be eligible to participate in the program.
The University will contact eligible students during the term that the student has applied for graduation and inform them of the program application process and deadlines. Currently, approved graduating eStout students will be able to have the ownership of a two-year old computer transferred to them at no additional cost.
If a student does not graduate when planned, the Laptop Transfer Agreement is void.
*Officially Graduating means the successful completion of ALL program requirements for an eStout undergraduate degree by the end of the term after which a student plans to graduate (this includes: co-op, internship, field experience, student teaching and any other requirements not completed).
Contact Joan Wahl
Student Business Services
It is recommended that you browse the software titles available from the Wisconsin Integrated Software Catalog (WISC) before you graduate. Because of a change to the campus' Microsoft licensing it may be more advantageous than ever to take advantage of student pricing. If Microsoft Office 2010 or Office for Mac 2011 is currently installed on your laptop, its licensing will expire and become non-functional within 180 days of leaving campus. Microsoft Office is available on WISC and is an outstanding value. Eligibility for purchasing through WISC ends, without exception, on the last day of a student's last-enrolled semester. Another purchase HP-users may wish to consider is Microsoft Windows 7. Should a laptop require a hard drive replacement or OS reload for any reason in the future, Windows 7 will allow for the operating system to be replaced.
Of unique concern to our Apple graduates is the installed version of Microsoft Windows 7. Windows will expire in the same fashion that Microsoft Office will expire, within 180 days of leaving campus. The Apple OS will be unaffected. To remove Boot Camp (Windows 7) from an Apple to avoid the boot prompt and recover the hard drive space utilized by it, please follow these instructions: How to remove Boot Camp (Windows 7) from Graduate Student Apples.
The Technology Help Desk does not support laptops after transfer/graduation. UW-Stout software is non-transferable. Please see your Transfer Agreement for a list of applications that must be removed or visit the Technology Help Desk to have your computer reimaged to graduate-ready state.
Contact 800-474-6836 for any hardware problems.
Your laptop must still be covered under HP warranty for this service. You can verify your coverage by following this link: HP Warranty check.
To reinstall the operating system graduates will need to have a copy of Windows 7 or obtain restore media from HP by calling
800-334-5144. HP will ask you to supply your serial number and the
license key # on the bottom of your laptop and will charge for shipping.
Contact 800-275-2273 for any hardware problems.
Your laptop must still be covered under Apple warranty for this service. You can verify your coverage by following this link: Apple Warranty check. To reinstall the operating system graduates will need to have a copy of Mac OS X, or order it from APPLE by calling 800-275-2273 and supplying the serial # of the laptop. Your laptop must still be covered under the Apple Care warranty to order media.

I see some of it at least has been implemented in portage and I would suspect in pkgcore too. However it's not obvious to me that all the code is ready, and I don't see any real specs, docs, etc... You're a seasoned slacker^Wdeveloper so you know the drill. I will add this as a topic for the open floor discussion for january but don't expect us to vote on it before we have all of the above. Now, it might be that this whole thing is held back by a more philosophical question in which case feel free to propose it for addition to the (preferably february) agenda. I'm a bit surprised by the low amount of discussions this topic has generated. I know there is a bug about this and that there was some action there, but still. I think that getting the above material ready (specs, doc, PMS?, whatever) has a good chance of triggering additional discussions. Feel free to contact me in case you need help. Denis.

Hi guys!
I am wondering if anybody knows the source for DAP Weldwood glue in Canada. I am trying to do some bent lamination and it seems to be a glue of choose.
I have heard that it might be banned in Canada, but it is still on "Canadian" list of products at DAB. Had no luck trying to locate it locally. Nobody even heard about it.

Seriously, why no larger sizes? I can't help that I'm really tall, I need 2X-Tall or 3X (4X for some cuts). Not that this is unexpected, almost any place that sells any sort of printed shirt I might like is this way...

When I did my first run, I went in the recommended order (Faron, Eldin, then Lanryu). However, when I did my second run in Hero Mode, I decided to do Lanryu first because I wanted to get the heart piece and Hylian Shield as soon as possible from the Boss Rush mode. Also, I did Faron last because, honestly, I find her task dull, annoying, and a pain in the butt.
By the way, I never talked to Golo again, so I didn't run into any glitch. Just simply avoid talking to Golo after getting to the Gorge and there's not a problem. Is there really any reason to talk to Golo again anyway?
I'm on the fence about this one. Ultimately, for the game to evolve with modern expectations, I think it would be nice to have optional voice acting to make everyone happy - and it'd be great if it was anime DVD style - i.e. subbed and dubbed. Perhaps there'd be three options - English dub, Japanese subbed, and some made-up Hylian language subbed. I also think Link should remain silent - let the other characters speak.
I think this is more an appeasement, though, than a necessity, and the lack of voice acting would never prompt me to miss a Zelda adventure.
Oh, and the part about voice acting being needed for emotion is total crap. The scenes most compelling for me were right after getting the three flames - talking to Groose before going after Zelda, and then the scene with Zelda right after that... powerful stuff. I can't think of any more moving scene in a previous Zelda game off the top of my head. (Well, maybe the scene from Windwaker where Ganondorf is going on about the suffering of his people and the deep jealousy he had of Hyrule - actually made me feel sorry for the guy!)
@Eclipse_Dj - there are multiple HUD options. In fact, at one point in the game (I believe shortly before descending to Faron Woods), Fi interrupts you and tells you that if you've gotten the hang of the controls you can optionally change the HUD to be less intrusive. You do this on the Gear screen, there's a button that says "Interface" that you can click on with the A button. The "Pro" interface eliminates almost the entire HUD, and there's a Limited interface that at least eliminates the outline of the Wii remote from screen.
@t-money - You're somewhat right. Ocarina, as I recall, had over a dozen dungeons, and they were, for the most part, much more expansive than the dungeons presented in Skyward Sword. There were way too many "collection quests" built into the main quest of SS - particularly annoying was the quest for the Water Dragon's part of the song and looking for the little tadpoles. I'd have liked to have seen more dungeons, more epic boss battles. That all being said, though, the motion controls, new items and innovations added to this game certainly make it worthwhile. Particularly, making fighting less button-mashing and actually provoking thought about which direction I'd swing my sword in was a killer aspect of the game. I'd love it if at some point they "modernized" Ocarina onto the Skyward Sword game engine, replaced the bad guys with ones requiring some of these strategies for fighting... it'd be pretty epic.

Topic: Fred Dekker presents MONSTER SQUAD @ Music Box Massacre III in Chicago
So I know there's some Chicago-area people on these boards, and this is one not to be missed:
Filmmaker Fred Dekker will be presenting his classic Monster Squad on the big screen as a part of MUSIC BOX MASSACRE III, October 13th, 2007.
For those of you not familiar with the 'Massacre, basically it's a non-stop 24-hour horror fest, held every October at the Music Box Theatre, and hosted by my good friend, Rusty Nails.
Tickets are about to go on-sale. I'll definitely be there!
The Cat & The Canary, Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein, Halloween III, MONSTER SQUAD, Freaks, Videodrome, The Shining, Peeping Tom. Full line-up TBA.

Yalac - Comparisons, How the evaluation release compares to other compressors

In this thread the testers should post comparisons of the preset modes of Yalac (Working name for "Yet another lossless audio compressor") with other lossless compressors.
The results for specific variations of individual encoder options should go into the thread " Yalac Evaluation and optimization".
Please post the exact version number of the compressors. Compression ratio should be specified in percent of the uncompressed file size. Speed figures should be specified as multiple of real time (duration of the test files). A specification of your test system, especially the CPU, would be helpful.
Open end: Feel free to add more results later.
What happened
Bad timing of my introduction (April 1.) forced an early publication of an evaluation release of Yalac, to prove, that it really works. This are results of 8 forum members, who where so kind to test the experimental release for me.
Many thanks!
Yalac should finally achieve compression ratios on par with Monkey's Audio High. Decoding speed should be at least two times higher than Monkey and never be significantly lower than with FLAC (possibly Yalac will later be integrated into FLAC).
My next steps
The first results i have received from the testers show me some weaknesses of the encoder. That's a good thing, because that means, that there definitely is a chance to increase the compression efficiency! Same is true for the speed; especially the decoder is not fully optimized yet. But it will take some time, before i will come up with an optimized release.
Links to 24 bit files i have used
I think, they are hard to find.
44 KHz, 24 bit

V0.05 is done
- Preset FASTEST is gone. The new FAST preset achieves the same speed on my system and does this with only a small decrease in compression efficiency (maximum 25 percent of the difference between old FAST and FASTEST).
- Preset HIGH is 40 percent faster on my system.
- Preset HIGH activates the option "Bitcoder / Optimize choice".
- Preset INSANE uses frame partition resolution 256 and the new encoder option "BitCoder / Optimize Partition".
- Modification of the window function used by "Apply Window". Might help with some problem files...
- Selection of a preset doesn't affect the debug options in the encoder options dialog anymore.
- Select the new debug option "No output" to encode without generating files.
- Redesign of the dialogue options for frame partitioning.
- Error in BitCoder fixed, which sometimes generated errors in the file stream.
- Working data of the decoder was not properly aligned. The fix can improve decoding performance on some systems.
- Clean up of source code. Could give new errors...
- File format changed!
Not done:
- Speed optimization of Frame Partition Calculator resolution 256, which is much slower than 128. Unfortunately my new algorithm didn't work well.
I hope to send the new version to the following testers within the next hours:
Josef Pohm
Synthetic Soul
Only reason for this selection: I haven't heard from the other testers within the last 10 days and i don't want to fill their mail box with new versions they possibly currently don't need.
Any of them can sent me an email anytime, and i will sent the current version.
What could be tested:
The performance of the new implementations of the presets FAST, HIGH and INSANE might have changed.
Apply window should hurt less on the rare problem files.
Plans for V 0.06:
- Implementation of a simple command line version.
- Possibly some further assembler optimization to speed up especially preset HIGH. All optimizations in V0.05 were algorithmic.
- More clean ups of my source code. Not really interesting for the tests.

Lane Restrictions Planned For Construction On Highway 14 Next Week
Posted By News On July 8, 2011 @ 6:29 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
The Iowa Department of Transportation has announced lane restrictions in parts of Marion County set to go into effect next week. Bridge construction on Iowa Highway 14 between G-40 north of Knoxville and G-28 south of Monroe will restrict traffic to one lane beginning next Monday. A pilot car will be deployed to keep traffic moving through the construction zone. The work is expected to be completed by mid-August.

In a world where fame and power seem to dominate the mainstream, it's time to get back to our roots. MOONSHINE, a gentleman's cologne, is designed for men comfortable in their own skin - those who don't need to be associated with the latest trend or fad. A classic and timeless scent that embodies a lifestyle of strong history and heritage. Independent. Courageous. A woodsy aroma with hints of spice.
Moonshine is a gentleman's cologne created by Colin Heck Newberry, Charles Woodson Holderness, Jr., Matthew Rodney Moore in collaboration with the old perfume house from Grasse - Gallimard.
Notes: Black pepper, tobacco, leather, gin, and patchouli.

It's good. It's also weak and short lived; and it simply isn't good enough to make up for that.

Smells a lot like the stuff you mom rubbed on your skinned knee. Strong astringent alcohol smell. Not much scent.

Not worth the price

This fragrance is very rich in cedar and evokes a certain lumberjack feel. Not for the faint of heart. Very accessible so give it a try

I can understand people really liking this scent if they've never tried Terre D'Hermes, but if you're familiar with this fragrance you should pick up on the similarity right away. I found this fragrance pleasing, but the longevity is not on par with the former and it definitely seems like an "indie" alternative.

There I was, about to make my way into my favorite watering hole. The door flung open, I walked in, the crowd noticed though I was trying not to be noticed. I made my way to the bar. I took a sip of my well aged whiskey when I noticed her. The lights when out, only a spot light - shining down illuminating her red mini skirt. She hovered over to the bar heading straight to me. I kept my cool. Standing there, staring right into each others eyes she leaned over to my ear and whispered "It's you.." Then it hit me. We've met. Hours, what feels like days now, at Murphy's gas station. She dropped her purse. I reached down for it without hesitation as she did the same. We rose together. She leaned over to my neck hypnotized by my aroma. She let go of the bag giving me a chance to hand it to her. "Here you go" I said and I went about my business. She was wearing sunglasses, a hat and coat - unrecognizable. We lock eyes again. At that very moment the bartender sits a couple of drinks sealing the deal. It's going to be a great night...
Moonshine: Never sweet, never loud, though it will stand out from the rest..

I adore this cologne! The fragrance is rich and masculine, very clean and natural smelling. It is a fantastic cocktail of familiar smells (all listed scents are very prominent and combine beautifully). It's the perfect cologne for guys who don't like wearing cologne. I can't get enough of this wonderful scent! I will definitely be purchasing a bottle.

The obituary began, "Gary 'Chip' Allen Fry passed away unexpectedly due to death by suicide on Sunday, April 13, 2014."
It was unusual. Tributes to the newly deceased rarely mention the cause of death, much less suicide. And for a variety of reasons, suicide is hardly ever mentioned, if ever.
But Fry's family decided to mention it. They felt they had to. They felt they could do some good in their time of grief. They felt it was time that the subject came to light, that maybe, by saying something, they could help someone, or save a life, or find some measure of good from Fry's life and death.
Fry's story is a tragedy, one that has no easy explanation and is shrouded in the grief, guilt and shame his family is feeling.
Fry was from York, the son of the late Russell and Loretta. He was a 1972 graduate of York County Technical School, called Vo-Tech back then. He worked construction, a carpenter and craftsman who worked for a variety of companies.
He met his wife Joanne on a blind date 32 years ago. They knew right away. They moved to the Mechanicsburg area and had two children, both boys.
He loved the outdoors, hunting and fishing. He had a cabin in Potter County, and more than anything, he loved spending time there. It was peaceful.
He liked trivia and knew a lot of things about a lot of things. He collected Pepsi-Cola memorabilia.
That's who he was.
Things went bad, though.
His oldest son, Shaun, had mental health issues, first diagnosed when he was 15. He suffered from depression and obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety. He was on medication to control his disease, but he still struggled. He had problems in school and dropped out, later earning his GED. He had a hard time holding a job. His personal life as he graduated to adulthood was rife with struggles, his mother said.
In early 2012, Shaun was having some serious problems. He had delusions and wound up checking himself into the hospital, a voluntary commitment. At the time, police found a gun in his car and seized it.
For a few months, he seemed OK.
On the Fourth of July 2012, Joanne said, Shaun went to Walmart and bought a gun. He had no trouble with the background check. Since he had been voluntarily committed to the hospital, it didn't show up. His mother said, "We, as a family, did everything in our power to keep guns away from him."
To no avail.
The next day, he killed himself. He was 30 years old.
Fry was despondent over his son's death, as was the rest of the family. They felt they should have done more. They felt they should have been able to stop Shaun from killing himself. They felt guilt. They felt shame. They felt, as Joanne put it, "helpless and powerless."
Fry never really recovered.
Recently, things got worse. He was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, Joanne said. He couldn't do the things he used to be able to do. He lost his job. They had money trouble.
And he began behaving differently. "He just wasn't my husband," is how Joanne put it. He started falling into deep depression. Eventually, he was diagnosed as having bipolar disorder and put on medication.
Last fall, he became depressed. He couldn't do anything. His movements were slow. He wouldn't leave the house. Joanne had to push him to get up and get out of the house, to go for a walk, anything.
In early April, she said, he went to his doctor and told him he was depressed. He thought maybe he had to adjust his medication.
Nothing seemed to work. The last two days of his life, he was despondent, the lowest she had ever seen him.
That Sunday morning, she convinced him to go out to breakfast. He agreed. Joanne went to take a shower, and when she got out, he was gone.
She called out to him. Nothing. She looked around the house. He was gone.
She found him outside, on the side of the house.
He had shot himself with one of his hunting rifles.
He was 59.
She thought she should have known. She had been going to support groups and working with mental health advocates. But she had no signs that he was suicidal. She knew he was depressed, but she didn't know that he would end his own life.
"People need to be aware of the dangers of depression," she said. "I thought I was. I've been living with it for years, but I still didn't see it coming."
She feels angry. She feels guilty.
She had a friend tell her that her husband's suicide was "a selfish and mean act."
Her friend meant well, hoping to relieve Joanne's guilt. But Joanne told her she was wrong.
"This was not a selfish and mean act," she said. "It was an act resulting from a horrible illness that I can't begin to understand."
People, she said, need to know that.

Everyone Loves IE – Sitemeter Kills Thousands of Sites for IE Users
The behavior began few days ago whene Sitemeter updated their scripts. Unfortunately, they forgot about a bug of the Internet Explorer (really old one) that has been causing a "Operation aborted" error.
If your web page had a Sitemeter counter, Internet Explorer users eventually see an "Operation aborted" error message. Once they click OK, the whole page disappears and is replaced by a blank page.
Whose fault is this? Both of course. However, this is not a new and/or unknown bug; they just didn't test it on Internet Explorer = bad idead.
