I was so thrilled to be getting a loft when we moved to our new home.
The hubby and I had already decided we would use it as a playroom. It's where we put all the kids toys (there are very few in their rooms). It has been so nice to have one big place where the kiddos can play with their friends and a great gathering place for our family on Family Movie Night (every Friday night)! We love it.
Unfortunately, I haven't taken a ton of time to decorate it or do some fun things with it, but I'm slowly making progress.
A few weeks ago I made some cute Playroom Signs that I hadn't even thought of doing tutorials for until a ton of friends asked me if I had put them on the blog yet. Having said that I thought I would do a quick tutorial for them.
Here are the Playroom Signs:
– Masonite/Hard board
– Vinyl
– White Paint
– Colored Spray Paint
– Command Strips
– SprayPolyurethane
1. Cut your hardboard the size you want the signs to be. I wanted mine large so they are 2 feet x 2 feet each. The hardboard/masonite can be found at your local Lowe's or Home Depot in a large sheet. The larger the sheet the cheaper it usually is per square foot. These ones ended up being just a few dollars each.
2. Spray paint your boards white or whatever color you want the text part to be. Let dry.
3. Design and cut your vinyl to fit your board. Peel and add vinyl to your board.
4. Spray paint it the colors you want your signs to be. I used turquoise, red and apple green. Let dry.
5. Add a few coats of Spray Polyurethane. Let dry.
5. Peel off vinyl.
So easy, right?!
I love how they turned out and loved that they are so big!!
Now, I just need to finish the rest of the play room, lol!

I thought the onion alien was awesome.. Especially when he face planted on the street from that tall balcony.
Yes I am evil. :p
Yeah, the onion alien was awesome. Maybe if we have another one Katou can protect him and show if he's the real hypocrite alien. I didn't like the birds really, but it was weird and that's a bonus.
more food aliens! I wonder if it's dangerous to eat the onion aliens :tem
I'd get some miso, bean sauce & spicy sauce... mix it, and eat veggies
Kurono alien :yourock
catailien mission.
There'd be cats everywhere and a Boss Cat. The Gantzers would get played with, sliced up, and eaten. Because cats are so small if they were made bigger they'd be horrific. Of course, it'd be a night time mission. Cats are killers.
Katou might freak out, "I can't kill cats guys."
Reika might try to pet one.
Nishi of course would just be like *blam blam blam* yet the boss cat would murder him for murdering the cat in the earlier volumes.
Kurono would also be slicing up the cats, but it might drive him insane and he'd revive Reika, because she's also insane.
At the end the transfer would start, but the real boss appears and kills HS and KB as they are stuck in transfer mode. Then it would rub up against Takeshi's leg and transfer into the Gantz room. It would then procede to hide in the hallway. After people chose their options it would pounce out purring and have it's way with our current cast and finally survive off noobies.
Noobie "Oh a Black Ball and a Cat"
I got a question, I don't know if it's worse its own thread so I'll post it here.:darn
Can Vampire's Katana cut through Gantz suit?
It can clearly block/hit Gantz katana:
Yet, sometimes it breaks when hitting the suit:
Sometimes, but not always:
Imo, it's all depends on the Katanas owner and his own powers. And what's your opinion? :notrust
Hikawa did the same attack to Izumi and Sakurai and he couldn't cut trought a functional suit.
I think it was a mistake, Oku just forgot to draw the liquid coming out from the suit.
1. Oni boss was by far the most BA, Close second is the tengu
2. The guys that looked like they belonged in LotR
3. Ultimate Oni, nuff said.
4. Tie between buddha boss and the bird aliens, both because they killed off 2 of the best characters in gantz.
5. Any aliens that take the form of mythical beings would be awesome.
@Gantz556: "I really want to see more powerful aliens in the future. Maybe an invincible alien or something like that."
Stronger than Nuri? I imagine seeing many aliens equally strong as Nuri; but any stronger and they WOULD be invincible and that wouldn't be any more fun! An invincible alien would mean that the manga would finish right there and then! With everyone dying! yaaaay :notrust !!

Kim Kardashian Changes Mind: I Love My Nude W Photos!
They say hindsight is 20/20, and no one knows that better than Kim Kardashian.
Though the 30-year-old sobbed during Sunday's episode of "Kourtney and Kim Take New York" when W Magazine published "full-on porn" pictures of her in its annual November Art Issue, Kardashian tells UsMagazine.com she's had a change of heart.
"Looking back, I love the photos," she told Us at Thursday's REVOLVEclothing.com event in L.A. "W Magazine is iconic so I'm really happy that I did it and that those are the photos."
So what brought on the tears?
"It's just that that's not what I thought they were going to be," she explained. "Obviously I'm comfortable posing nude -- I've done that before, and I did that then for the magazine. But that's probably not the direction I would've wanted to go if I thought that was going to be the case."
(W Magazine fired back on Tuesday, telling New York Magazine's The Cut that "Kim Kardashian's cover was conceived as an artistic collaboration with well-known artist Barbara Kruger, and was a meditation on the influence that reality TV has on contemporary culture.")
In retrospect, Kardashian told Us she has no regrets about stripping down for the fashion mag -- even if she did shed a few tears on national TV.
"When you shoot something, you hope that it turns out the way that you expected it to be," she said. "But looking back, that was my initial reaction when I saw the pictures and I was just really upset. I do think the pictures are beautiful."

Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
Charles Babbage was the British mathematician who built the first computing machines, forerunners of the modern computer. He held a chair in mathematics at Cambridge University (1828-39). His Difference Engine (1821) compiled mathematical tables. In 1854 George Scheutz constructed a machine based on Babbage's designs, which printed mathematical, astronomical and actuarial tables, and was used by the British and American governments. Babbage's Analytical Engine (1856) performed a variety of calculations or "programs." But the British government suspended funding for his research and despite his significant achievements Babbage died a bitter man. This carte de visite is signed.

We regularly have to take the sumps off to clear the oil strainers of carbon. Quick tip to.remove the sump without trashing it is to undo all the 8mm bolts and then the 2 x 10mm nuts..... When there off undo the 2 studs that the 10mm nuts fit to...... They have a small lip on them on the inner edge of the sump....As you draw the studs down they will pop the sump off with out much effort and leave just a small impression on the face of the sump. This you simply turn upside down and tap flat with the use of a 3/8th drive socket extension bar and then re seal with a decent silicone sealer.
Other points we clean / replace are like mentioned the small oil way gauze filter in the vac pump and also the oil feed pipe to the turbo..... A little awkward to do but remove the turbo if you can and replace the pipe for a new one...... They have a small gauze filter in them too which blocks. Some people have actually removed the gauze filters completely but I think a little bit of maintenance on them from time to time is better than large chunks of carbon floating around the system.
I will add it too have a focus 1.6TDCI and love it to bits...... I change the oil around every 3 months bit I get it free so it's no real issue for me...... But good quality oil and decent filters changed at regular intervals will definitely help keep your car going.

One of a few design styles for the upcoming Sifter application icon for iPhone & iTouch. Also looking at flat colour opposed to the wood texture direction.
The initial S will sit centrally within the dark inset of the icon which has a black rubber edging/seal around the beveled opening/hole.
This is more about tactile dimension that untouchable hyper-realism.
This is more about an icon that just looks like you could interact with it: like poke your finger in the hole and wiggle it around underneath the wooden top.
More updates of this project to come soon.
Need a iPhone or Mobile App Icon?
Have to say I really do enjoy the icon side of my job. If you are looking for a icon designed for your mobile application then I would love to hear from you. I have only designed a few 'live' app icons to date: Extensis FontFuse & Feedly, but hope those examples show you what I can craft.

On a Friday night that saw seven mid-Hudson Valley high school football teams in action, the Millbrook Blazers improved to 5-0, the Poughkeepsie Pioneers fell to 0-5, and several local squads had reason to celebrate.
Millbrook earned a 28-21 victory over James I. O'Neill on homecoming, with senior running back Henry Cardinal totaling 201 rushing yards, including a 51-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Poughkeepsie traveled south to Nyack to lose a 26-0 decision in a homecoming for Poughkeepsie coach John Castellano. The first-year Pioneers leader coached Nyack for 23 seasons.
Highland topped New Paltz, 20-14 in overtime, and Arlington rolled by visiting Mamaroneck, 39-13.

This effort seeks a compelling, memorable name for the "Greeley Grief Center".
This facility, its staff, and services provide residents in the greater Greeley, Colorado region with help in the grieving process following the death (loss) of a loved one. The center serves the very young, the very old, and all ages in between.
Examples of services may include (this is not an exhaustive list)
- For children ... play therapy
- For youth/teenagers ... counseling/ small group support
- For adults ... life coaching
- For the elderly ... life skills and financial counseling
Elderly men, for example, may not have participated in their own domestic upkeep - cooking, cleaning, etc. Elderly of both genders may not have actively participated in money management and bill paying. Some elderly women, at the loss of their spouse, feel unsafe living alone at a family home, and some self-protection skills are sometimes appreciated.
In addition to sadness, guilt, and other emotions that can accompany loss, there are pragmatic/practical skills that may warrant improvement or intervention.
For additional information about the subject of grief ... and about the City of Greeley ... copy/paste these URL's into a browser.
Wikipedia - Grief
Wikipedia - Greeley, Colorado
I will accept a .com with an acceptable variation on the exact name
Residents within a 50 radius of Greeley, Colorado who have lost a loved one. All ages (3 years to 100+ years old). The participants will not be "customers" ... but rather this not-for-profit grief center will provide services free-of-charge to the participants.
Caring support
Pathway forward
Hope and recovery
All local funeral homes
All local churches
All local mental healthcare providers
Friends, friendship
Don't let your struggle become your identity
One of the simplest ways to stay happy is... letting go of things that make you sad
I was one of those people who put too much emphasis on work and career and material possessions, and it took its toll on all my relationships, on my physical health, my emotional and mental health.
I don't know what to do now ... I just don't know what to do.
The name can be an expression, a word, or a word cluster. It needs to be simple, memorable, and compelling - probably an actual word or words, rather than an invented word. But, possibly there may be an expression or invented word that would work.

Captured by Kevin Burke, a waterspout turns into a tornado as it makes landfall near St. Petersburg in Florida on Monday, June 24th, 2013. (Courtesy: Kevin Burke)
Late Monday evening, what began as a waterspout in Florida made landfall and became a damaging tornado.
Cell phone video captured the storm out of Saint Petersburg, Florida. It was captured by Kevin Burke, showing a water spout as it hits land.
It destroyed an entire dock that belonged to his neighbor and even tossed a trampoline into the air.
Other minor damage was reported from the storm, but there were no injuries reported in that area.

By Paul Bucheit On the first day of Christmas my employer gave to me a penny for every $3 the richest 130,000 Americans make. It's been a national tradition since 1980. On the second day my doctor showed me TWO Americans needing mental health care, but only one of the two could afford treatment. The doctor informed me that the fifty states have cut $1.8 billion from their mental health budgets during the recession, and that the 2013 Republican budget proposes further cuts. "It's crazy," ...

Everything in between is dark.
On the night of April 18, 2010, in Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals against the San Jose Sharks, Anderson discovered what being in the zone feels like.
He made 51 saves in a career-defining game and every single one of them mattered as the Avalanche didn't score until Boyle inadvertently beat his own goalie, Evgeni Nabokov, with a failed pass behind the goal 51 seconds into overtime to hand Colorado a 1-0 win and a 2-1 lead in the series.
"That game could have gone on for another three periods and I don't think they would have scored."
When it was over, when Anderson was announced to the 18,007 inside Pepsi Center as the game's obvious first star, he was held speechless for about two minutes as the fans serenaded him with chants, "An-dy, An-dy," and gave him a moment so few ever get to experience.
Anderson's smile as he stood by the bench waiting out the ovation to do a post-game interview on the Altitude network was reminiscent of a father who just saw his son do something so great, so extraordinary.
"I was overwhelmed," Anderson said. "You don't know what to say. You couldn't really say anything. It was so loud and the energy that was in the building, I felt like a 10-year-old kid looking up at a big Christmas present."
Forgive Anderson if he still, six months later, talks about the night as if it just happened. He took the long road to that game, that ovation, and potholes were everywhere.
There was the time during his five seasons in the Blackhawks organization that he found himself comfortable as a backup.
"I was content on being there and hanging out with the guys," Anderson said. "I didn't have that drive I should have had, that desire to knock off the guy even if he's been there and he's making $5 million or $6 million."
He knows why.
"When you're in a situation where you know one guy is the starter, you get the mentality of, 'Well, I'm not going to beat him out,'" Anderson said. "You get into a relaxed state of just riding behind him, but injuries happen, a guy plays bad -- a lot of situations happen so you can get an opportunity, and if you're not ready for it they're going to find someone else who is."
The Blackhawks wound up trading him to the Florida Panthers, who subsequently waived Anderson before re-assigning him to Rochester of the AHL for most of the 2006-07 season.
It was, as Anderson said, "an eye-opener."
"Any player that makes the NHL is usually the best player on his team from, say, age 5, so you've been doing it all your life," Anderson said. "But it's doing it on the mental side and finding out how to grow up. A lot of people never really grow up and never figure it out. For me it took a few years of pro hockey to figure it out."
Anderson finally "got his mojo back" during the 2007-08 season when he appeared in a then career-high 17 games with Florida. He won eight and posted a .935 save percentage and 2.25 goals-against average.
Under coach Pete DeBoer, his numbers ballooned the following season to 31 games and 15 victories.
The Avalanche signed him to a two-year contract in the summer of 2009 and gave him a chance to be a No. 1 in the NHL. He rewarded them with 38 wins in 71 games last season and became the backbone of a team -- one predicted by many to finish last in the Western Conference -- that shockingly made the playoffs.
Anderson isn't sure if he'll play 71 games again this season or win another 38, but he's certain when he says he's not comfortable, despite his obvious rank in the dressing room.
He is the Avs' unquestioned No. 1 goalie, but it's a title that's only as good as his last stretch of games.
"You earn the ice time that you get and you have to continue to earn it," Anderson said. "Guys that have played in the League for 10 or 12 years, and I can go down the list of guys I played behind -- (Jocelyn) Thibault, (Nikolai) Khabibulin, (Ed) Belfour, (Tomas) Vokoun -- every year they come to work every day, they battle, and they give their team a chance to win every night. They're never satisfied and that's what I have learned over time -- you can't be satisfied."
But you can enjoy the ride, especially when it takes you through a moment that may never come along again.

Hamburg Travel Guide
As the second largest city in Germany and the country's main port, the city of Hamburg has embodied the terms "worldly" and "cosmopolitan" for centuries—long before many of its contemporary European counterparts. These long-standing international influences are evident in its food, its music and more. And the city is ever evolving. Travel to Hamburg to see even the neighborhoods with the seediest reputations, including its red-light district, take on new and increasingly welcoming character. Travel + Leisure's Hamburg travel guide can show you where to start.
Things Not to Miss in Hamburg
• Exploring the city's diverse harbor front
• Seeing a piece of music history at The Beatles Plaza
• Learning about the city's rich past via exhibits at the local history museum and the International Maritime Museum
• Shopping and dining your way through the trendy Speicherstadt warehouse district
When to Go to Hamburg
True to its Central European locale, Hamburg's climate remains fairly moderate throughout the year. Its summers offer warm days and long stretches of daylight in the evenings, while the sun can set after less than eight hours each winter.
Travelers planning visit Hamburg should be sure to pack rain gear; wet weather is common throughout most seasons, as is wintertime snowfall.

President Obama Insults Former President Bush At His Own Portrait Hanging
Media President Obama Insults Former President Bush At His Own Portrait Hanging
President Barack Obama points to former President George W. Bush during a ceremony to unveil his official portrait, Thursday, May 31, 2012, in the East Room at the White House in Washington. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)
Apparently, as with so many other things, some people who hold the Presidency have class and some don't. To all appearances, former President George W. Bush is the former, and current President Barack Obama is the latter, at least if this afternoon's unveiling of former President Bush's Presidential portrait is any guide.
This event – which is, at least in theory, supposed to be free of partisan sniping, got an earful of just that when President Obama gave his introductory remarks welcoming Bush:
President Obama on Thursday twisted the knife he'd stuck in his predecessor's legacy, reminding former President George W. Bush that he left the economy a mess and al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden alive when he left the White House three years ago.
"The months before I took the oath of office were a chaotic time," Obama told a crowd of mostly former Bush administration officials and members of the Bush family, including Bush's parents, former President George H.W. Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush.[...]
"We knew our economy was in trouble, our fellow Americans were in pain, but we wouldn't know until later just how breathtaking the financial crisis had been," Obama continued, raising some eyebrows among the Bush crowd seated just a few feet away.
Bush, however, was the picture of grace, not saying anything remotely insulting about Obama or his wife, and instead treating them with all the deference a sitting President might expect. Indeed, the only place where Bush could have been construed to say anything insulting was when he named his own wife the best First Lady ever, with his mother Barbara Bush maybe tying her. And as to himself, he didn't pull any punches there, using his typical self-deprecating humor.
"Madame First Lady, thank you so much for inviting our rowdy friends to my hanging," he joked.

Small Business Certification Workshops
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced on Friday, August 1, 2014 that the U.S. government achieved its small business federal contracting goal. The federal government awarded more than 23% of its federal contracts to small businesses, totaling more than $83 billion. This was the first time in eight years that the federal government has reached its contracting goal.
The announcement was made at a press conference that was held at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center by SBA Administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet. She was joined by NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and Senator Ben Cardin.
"When we hit our small business procurement target, it's a win. Small businesses get the revenue they need to grow and create jobs, and the federal government gets the chance to work with some of the most responsive, innovative and nimble companies in the U.S. while the economy grows," Contreras-Sweet said. "Thanks to the president's leadership and a team effort among all federal agencies, we were able to meet this goal."
While contract expenditures have gone down in all categories as a result of overall reduced federal spending, small businesses managed to secure a greater percentage of the contracts. This is due inpart to the SBA working with other federal agencies to help small businesses win federal contracts.
The SBA also facilitated the requirement for larger companies with substantial federal contracts to sub-contract with Veteran-owned small businesses.
Along with the announcement, the SBA released the FY 2013 Small Business Procurement Scorecard. These annual scorecard provides an assessment of each federal agency's yearly small business contracting achievement against its goal, with 20 agencies receiving an A or A+. Overall, the federal government received an "A" on the government-wide Scorecard.
The Veteran and Military Business Owners Association (VAMBOA) is a non-profit business trade association that promotes and assists Veteran Business Owners, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses (SDVOB) and Military Business Owners. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and responsible for job generation. That is why VAMBOA provides its members with Business Coaching, Contracting Opportunities, a Blog that provides information, Networking contacts and other resources. Membership is FREE to Veterans.

VAMBOA: Government Achieves Small Business Contracting Goal
Government contracting for veteran owned businesses can be a valuable resource for veterans looking to start their own businesses. It is important to understand the positive aspects of government contracts when reviewing options for a veteran business or a service disabled veteran owned business because it may save money and time. It is especially important to review veteran business qualifications as you consider government contracts to ensure you meet all necessary guidelines for veteran-owned business status. Government contracting can not only benefit veteran diversity in the work place, but it can help make your veteran business much more successful in the long run.
For starters, you can generally count on government contracts for veteran owned businesses to be available because unlike normal businesses affected by the economy, the government is never out of business. Therefore, government contracting can be a reliable source of income for a veteran owned business looking to stay afloat in tough times. Don't be disheartened by talk of government downsizing and strict budgeting. There is plenty of money to be spent and veterans looking to increase veteran diversity by investing in a veteran owned business or service disabled veteran owned business have a good chance at getting to that money first.
There are disbelievers out there that say government contracting is a long shot for small or disadvantaged businesses but that is not true. Due to decreased and simplified paperwork and a government program called the Very Small Business Program, a veteran owned business, service disabled veteran owned businesses and other veteran businesses have access to government contracts and, more specifically, government contracts for veteran owned businesses. Pending adherence to veteran business qualifications, veterans have the ability to do business with government contracts that can help build veteran diversity as well as increase revenues and create strong foundations for a struggling veteran business and new veteran owned businesses.
In order to be considered for government contracts for veteran owned businesses, veterans must first meet veteran business qualifications and then complete all the necessary paperwork to apply for government contracting. By meeting the veteran business qualifications, veterans are confirming that at least 51% of their business is owned by a veteran(s), including at least 51% of the stock holdings, and the daily management is performed by one or more veterans. Service disabled veteran owned business status includes the previous stipulations, including the veteran(s) to have been disabled due to his or her service. These qualifications are in place to protect veteran diversity in the workplace.
Upon meeting these qualifications and filing the proper request forms, a veteran business can then pursue government contracts for veteran owned businesses.

|I think in general you are right. McDowell was put in a near impossible position. He had not led soldiers in any capacity in more than ten years and had never led anything larger than a regiment if I remember correctly. Everything he did as an Army commander was on the job training. Plus he had the unenviable position of having to attack with generally untrained troops whereas the Confederates simply had to parry uncoordinated Federal attacks with their own untrained troops. With that being said, McDowell expected too much of untrained volunteers. His plan was not bad, but, he should have known that a night march to an attack position coordinating between two separate wings of an army was far beyond his and his subordinates capabilities. Part of being a good commander is understanding what your Soldiers are capable of and using them within those constraints. Cheers!

Not Thrilled, But No Buyer's Remorse Either
This set is not for a frequent traveler. Based on the price, I would not expect it to be very durable, and I was correct. The handles have lots of wobble when they are extended. This is sure to be an issue. However they should function well for a couple of trips. If you are bargain shopping, this set should suit your needs. One caveat, I expected the grey set to be grey an all sides. It is actually only grey on the face and black on the remaining three sides. Not exactly the differentiation I was hoping for when finding my luggage on a carousel. This certainly would have been a factor in considering this purchase. The photos should make this clearer.Read More
Think Twice
I intentionally waited 10 months before giving a review so I could give some good feedback on the durability. I was happy when we initially purchased and received this luggage. The bags are a nice size overall and a great price. Unfortunatly the saying "you get what you paid for" is very true in this case. We live overseas so all our travel is international. The bags started falling apart after the second trip and were completely destroyed by the 5th trip (handles breaking, tags ripping off and causing holes in the front pockets, wheels sticking and cuts in the fabric). If you do heavy travel on airlines these are NOT the bags for you. That being said, if you don't do heavy travel with the airlines, this luggage probably would work nicely.Read More
Received this product two days before we left for vacation, and returned one day after the "return period". Used only ONCE and the seam on outside pocket of large suitcase frayed, the carryon suitcase handle broke when I tried to open it to board at the airport. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SET! I travel quite frequently and now I have to wait to settle with the manufacturer.Read More
not a fan
bought as Christmas gift for 2 week vacation in Mexico on spring break .stayed in original box till ready to travel . WOW !! these are not worth buying. 2 of the pcs of luggage with pop up handles were stuck in up position, finally 1 went down and now both are unusable. Overstock said it was beyond the warrenty they offer and to contact manufacturer . thanks overstock !! And Manufacturer is not willing to refund . Only exchange , do you think the exchange will be any better quality? buyer beware on this productRead More
Good Deal
My very expensive luggage was a wreck from the airline handlers and I was in need of new luggage quick. After checking out all the different highend luggage and knowing what was going to happen to it, I decided to go for a bargain. Well I must say I was more than pleased. I received my new set in less than a week and it was surprisingly durable "looking" and not bad to look at. So I packed it all up and headed for the true test.... a trip to Disney with everyone else handling my luggage from airport to room and back again. While I was there all those liitle packing cubes came in handy keeping all my stuff seperate and in good shape. The carry on was easy to use and find things in and the luggage came back to me with all my stuff intact and the suitcase itself looking just like when I left! This is definately a good buy and I can't wait for my next trip with it!Read More
8-piece luggage set
I was very pleased with the quality, appearance & value of the luggage. I purchased the red set and it looks & functions great. I have not had it long enough to judge the durability but it does not feel like cheap materials or craftsmanship. The small & medium pieces are exactly the same as the large one only scaled down a bit. So the whole ensemble fits in the large piece for easy storage when not in use.The woven colored fabric looks & feels of high quality but I wish it extended around the sides, not just the front because it would make it much easier to recognize from afar when it comes around the carousel at the baggage claim . I did notice that the back of the luggage (or bottom when you're packing it) didn't have any kind of extra stiffening material or plastic insert but the backing fabric is pretty stiff and taught. There is a zipper in the interior lining that grants you access to the space between the interior & exterior space of the suite case (not exactly sure why it's there though). All three pieces roll great & it's almost impossible to tip them over even on sharp turns unlike my old luggage that was always falling over. Another nice feature is they're all expandable by 2 inches by unzipping the secondary zipper. There's lots of pockets & compartments inside and out, plus the little packing cubes can be used for separating clothes, shoes, toiletries, make-up bags, etc. I think they're worth the extra $30 than the regular 4-piece set. There are 3 built-in shoe sleeves on the inside of the lids but they don't look like they'd handle men's larger shoes (the sleeves get even smaller on the medium & small bags). I guess they could be used for other items though or kid's shoes.Another nice feature is that you can stack the bags together with the built-in straps & clips which allows you to easily roll two bags (maybe three if you're good) at the same time all with one arm and not worry about them falling off as easily if they were just balanced. So theoretically one person could carry (roll) this entire luggage set by themselves if they had to.The telescoping handle has a release push button with two separate heights settings but it doesn't automatically pop up, you just have to pull it until it locks in place (half of full height). The slide out handle rails seems a little flimsy but that wouldn't prevent me from buying this luggage set. It shouldn't be a big problem since you don't have to torque or twist the handle to keep it balanced like my old set of luggage that had much larger wheels which increased the center of gravity making it prone to tip overs.The tote bag is pretty small, about the size of a extra-large purse or small laptop bag so it would easily qualify as carry-on even in those little puddle-jumper planes. All in all an excellent value. It would make a great gift or as a replacement to you old, worn-out luggage.Read More

Love that this set has TWO large suitcases! Plus the small packs for organization are a great bonus!

Since the first Brigade trip, additional Brigades have traveled twice each year to Nicaragua to volunteer service. Reverend Oliver, Janice Butler, Director of Bucknell's Office of Service-Learning, and Dr. Don Stechschulte, Director of the Student Health Service, have coordinated the efforts, along with many faculty and student volunteers. In January of 2000, the second Brigade spent one week digging latrines in the community of Nueva Vida.
In March of 2000, another Brigade began work on the first permanent medical clinic in the developing community of 15,000. This facility was largely funded by donations made through the Bucknell Brigade, Lewisburg community, and project supporters.
In March 2001, the fifth Brigade added finishing touches to the building which for has running water, electricity, consult rooms, a pharmacy and storage space. Bucknell President Steffen Rogers and his wife Athena joined the group in Nicaragua to help dedicate the new clinic. In addition, to assisting with construction on the clinic, Brigades have supported microenterprise efforts by helping to build a facility to house a new worker-owned sewing cooperative that employs women from Nueva Vida, and a new volunteer dormitory for our host agency.
Last year's delegation worked on finishing the walls of the new women's health facility next to the Nueva Vida Clinic. The new building will have the exam rooms, a birthing room, a post-partum room, a waiting area and 2 bathrooms with showers. Public health education pre- and post -natal care will be provided to women in the community.
In 2005, the Bucknell volunteers did electrical wiring in the women's facility, helped insulate the storage room for medicines, began a patio at the health compound, and started digging for a septic system at the women's sewing co-op.
May 2006 had the Brigade again in Nueva Vida working at the health clinic, painting, and mixing concrete in an effort to improve the living conditions of the villagers.

My biggest single gripe is the geometry nodes. The old solid square nodes contrasted much better, and was much more visible when located near or on top of segment joins.
I don't mind them being round, but no fill vs filled should be considered as a preference setting. Currently the nodes hide very well when zoomed out far enough.

"Highlighted segment has been extended beyond the allowed distance"
The workarounds have been documented for quite some time: http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Map_ ... _the_limit
Just splitting the segment is enough because then there are new segments with start/end points instead of an original segment with an end point moved too far.
top_gun_de wrote:The newly painted segment has no city and no name, so it is highlighted in grey. A newly painted road without an end-node is technically broken.
The highlighting extension is great, but it's new and not that wide-spread.

PSU's O'Brien 'all business'
College Football Videos
Until his name was blasted over TV and the Internet as Penn State's new football coach, most of America knew Bill O'Brien mainly as the New England Patriots assistant coach who screamed at his considerably more famous quarterback Tom Brady on the sideline during a game against the Washington Redskins a few weeks ago.
In Warwick, R.I., Mickey Kwiatkowski watched a replay of the spat and enjoyed it immensely.
"My jaw was on my chest," said Kwiatkowski, who coached O'Brien as a defensive end and linebacker at Brown University and gave him his first coaching job. "I said, 'Oh, my God. You go, O'B!' "
The Penn State search committee headed by acting athletic director Dave Joyner seemed just as enthused and presumably learned a few more things about O'Brien, 42, enough to name him successor to the legendary Joe Paterno.
O'Brien couldn't be reached for comment.
Penn State scheduled a news conference for 11:30 this morning to introduce O'Brien. It will be televised by the Big Ten Network.
Amid the general surprise and reviews of the choice ranging from approval to extreme dislike, Kwiatkowski was ecstatic.
"The circumstances that presented themselves were so unique," he said. "This opportunity doesn't come along to a young guy -- who truly deserves it -- very often. They're getting a great guy, and I hope they give him a chance.
"He's a kid that I love who I've grown tremendously to respect. He always seemed to do the right thing. Never an issue of gray. When his eligibility ended, I immediately said, 'Come help us.' He has a great amount of dignity, a great amount of self-awareness, and he doesn't lose sight of what he's involved in."
As for his football mind, O'Brien, the Patriots' offensive coordinator, is "a really good tactical coach, excellent," said retired quarterback Trent Dilfer, an NFL analyst for ESPN. "As good as I see in the NFL right now."
It might not seem like a challenge coaching Brady, who is one of the NFL's elite quarterbacks and a lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But this year he exceeded 5,000 passing yards for the first time in his career, and the Patriots have the No. 2 offense in the league.
O'Brien in four years worked his way up from offensive assistant to wide receivers coach, quarterbacks coach and then offensive coordinator, the latest assistant groomed by Patriots head coach Bill Belichick for a high-profile head coaching job. But the combined record of Charlie Weis, Romeo Crennel, Eric Mangini and Josh McDaniels is not especially glittering.
Crennel, Mangini and McDaniels went a combined 68-104 as NFL head coaches. Weis was 35-27 as Notre Dame head coach but just 16-21 in his last three seasons.
Dilfer said he told a reporter last year, "This Bill O'Brien, he's something else. I love what he's doing."
Playing at Brown, O'Brien "asked a lot of questions, and I liked that he had the self-confidence to explore things with the coaching staff," Kwiatkowski said. "I never got the feeling he was intimidated, unprepared. He was right on point."
After his eligibility ran out, O'Brien still had a few classes to take to graduate. Kwiatkowski said he hired him as his "full-time" tight ends coach "on a part-time salary." O'Brien had to work with friends who were still players, a potentially awkward situation.
"It could have been tough for an ordinary kid, but he didn't have a problem with it," Kwiatkowski said. "When Billy stepped on the field, he was all business. These were guys who were his friends, guys he walked around campus with, but they knew he was to be respected. It was like, 'This is football. This is what we do, and I'm gonna coach you.'"
O'Brien remained at Brown for a year after Kwiatkowski was fired, coaching linebackers. He then held various assistant's jobs at Georgia Tech, Maryland and Duke before going to New England in 2007.
"He's a very qualified guy," said Ralph Friedgen, who worked with O'Brien when both were assistants at Georgia Tech and hired him a few years after becoming head coach at Maryland. "Very bright, energetic, hard-working. He's coached at both levels and succeeded at both levels.
"He does a great job relating to people, and I think he's a very good motivator. He's a problem solver. He's competitive, and he's emotional. ... I think he knows when to apply the whip and when to click the horses."Additional Information:
Bill O'Brien

Once you're done dealing with the present, it's time to take a look at the game's glorious past. It has often been said that, more than any other sport, the history and tradition of baseball lends itself to the written word. And perhaps no one exemplifies those attributes more than Babe Ruth. Lawrence Ritter, author of the classic oral history The Glory of Their Times, and Mark Rucker, considered one of the games' greatest pictorial archivists, have assembled The Babe: The Game That Ruth Built. Through prose and pictures, this handsome volume marks the 50th anniversary of the Babe's passing. It's a sentimental look at the man who some say saved baseball in the wake of the 1919 world series gambling scandal and the dark days of the Depression. The photographs some rare, others familiar offer a glimpse of the Babe not only as the most legendary figure in sports, but also as a father, husband and friend. Beloved by millions all over the world, the snapshots of Ruth in Japan, surrounded by adoring children, are evidence of this global homage.

WASHINGTON — The World Bank downgraded its forecast for the global economy this year, citing a bitter American winter and the political crisis in Ukraine.
In an outlook released Tuesday, the bank still expects the world economy to grow faster – 2.8 percent this year versus 2.4 percent in 2013. But its new estimate is weaker than the 3.2 percent expansion it had predicted in January.
The U.S. economy — by far the world's largest — shrank at an annual rate of 1 percent from January to March, chilled by an unusually nasty winter. The political crisis in Ukraine dragged growth in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Together, those factors will "delay the recovery we talked about in January but not derail it," World Bank economist Andrew Burns told reporters.

Now it's time to fix the tax policy that allows diesel fuel to be substantially more expensive per gallon than gasoline. In Europe governments recognize the efficiency advantages of diesel and therefore tax rates allow diesel to be sold at somewhat lower prices than gas.
The world does not run on gasoline. It runs on jet and diesel fuels. That is why Europe and Japan have spent billions on cleaning up this fuel. 10ppm ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) is available in most of these industrialized economies at the same price as gas. These nations subsidized the modern diesel technology rather than wasting billions on corn based ethanol which does not reduce our dependency on mideast oil. The cultivation, irrigation, harvesting and transportation of the corn and ethanol must be done with diesel fuels. Naturally, our oil industry fights this technology because it would cause a huge hit on their bottom line. Ford's new Fiesta will get 65 mpg. Will we every see the "standard issue" diesel engine in the US??
The car industry, particularly Detroit's GM, Ford and Chrysler, is going through a time of significant change and upheaval. Keep track of the latest news with dispatches from the reporters in WSJ's Detroit bureau. Please post your comments on the blog, or email us at email@example.com.
