Opening Doors: Preventing Homelessness
It isn't enough to move people out of homelessness; we must keep people from falling into homelessness. The threat of homelessness most often occurs when a household has insufficient resources to cover housing costs. Unemployment, a health crisis, or the breakup of a family are the most common causes. The households most vulnerable to homelessness are those with no income or those earning significantly less than the federal poverty level. Households living in high cost housing markets are particularly at risk of homelessness as the cost of housing is significantly more than a working class job pays. Rural areas have a rate of unsheltered persons in families almost double that of urban areas. Persons living on a fixed income, particularly adults disabled by mental illness, are especially vulnerable to homelessness.
We know targeted comprehensive solutions are far more effective and cost-efficient than temporary fixes. Funding prevention strategies today will save the economic and social costs that we as a country will pay if we fail to take action.
The Plan
Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness acknowledges that prevention is critical tending homelessness and recognizes that every episode of homelessness that can be averted spares men, women, and children the trauma of homelessness itself. To concentrate on strategies that have proven successful, prevention strategies focus on five key areas:
1. Increased Leadership, Collaboration, and Civic Engagement
Opening Doors is a call to action for the federal government and for the nation. Public comment called for federal agencies to "break down the silos" and organize federal resources together with local and state resources. Enhanced collaboration will lead to a better understanding at all levels in both the public and private sectors of the causes and consequences of homelessness and the interventions that are most effective in preventing homelessness.
2. Increased Access to Stable and Affordable Housing
To prevent homelessness, the most vulnerable population— including families with children with the lowest incomes, unaccompanied youth, people with disabling conditions, and frail elders—must have access to affordable housing and support services that address health and employment needs.
3. Increased Economic Security
The best protection against homelessness is a meaningful and sustainable job that pays enough to afford a safe, decent place to live. Helping those most at risk for homelessness to access existing work support programs as well health care and income support services to which they are entitled are key prevention strategies.
4. Improved Health and Stability
Housing integrated with health care has been shown to be an effective and cost-saving intervention for homeless and unstably housed persons with serious health problems. Partnerships between housing providers and health and behavioral health care providers can advance the goal of preventing homelessness. Programs focusing on youth aging out of foster care and juvenile justice as well as adults who have frequent contact with hospitals and criminal justice are also critical to success.
5. Transformed Homeless Crisis Response System
Communities must evolve their homeless service systems to include proven solutions focused on prevention for all vulnerable populations. As a result, people will be better able to get connected to help before losing their homes.

The quality of data collected in survey research is usually indicated by the response rate; the representativeness of the sample, and; the rate of completed questions (item-response). In attempting to improve a generally declining response rate in surveys considerable efforts are being made through follow-up mailings and various types of incentives. This study examines effects of including a scratch lottery ticket in the invitation letter to a survey.
Questionnaires concerning oral health were mailed to a random sample of 2,400 adults. A systematically selected half of the sample (1,200 adults) received a questionnaire including a scratch lottery ticket. One reminder without the incentive was sent.
The incentive increased the response rate and improved representativeness by reaching more respondents with lower education. Furthermore, it reduced item nonresponse. The initial incentive had no effect on the propensity to respond after the reminder.
When attempting to improve survey data, three issues become important: response rate, representativeness, and item-response. This study shows that including a scratch lottery ticket in the invitation letter performs well on all the three.

I have one roll, two plastic boxes, one plastic box wrapper, one set of instructions, and one outer box for Minox cameras. Film contained is Plus-X from quite a while back. Film does not look advanced/exposed but I'm no Minox expert. Included some close-up shots of the film box to hopefully help date the film as the Expired By date has faded/been scratched off.
Swap for a roll or two of 120 slide film, or Acros/Tmax 100 in 120. Or, if you have something goofy/unusual, don't be shy.

After a long vacay from sewing, I'm BACK and now stuck!
So, I'm trying to attach the lining (which has elastic in it) to the skirt itself (which is now much larger than the lining).
Since I have to ease quite a bit of fabric, I thought I'd use the differential feed on my BL Englighten serger... well, this doesn't seem to work. The directions say to set the differential anywhere from 1.3 to 2.0. I've tried all the settings with the LONGER fabric on the bottom or the top (in case I had it backwards) and it doesn't really pull the longer fabric to match the shorter... I don't know what I'm doing wrong??
Alternatively, I was thinking of getting a gathering foot for this machine and giving that a try... or I still have my Brother 1034D with a gathering foot that I could try first.
Any thoughts, tips, suggestions, advice???

Hi! If I understand correctly, your skirt lining has elastic already attached to it, so now it is smaller than your self lining, and you are wanting to attach the non-elasticized self but it's too big? If this is the case, would you be able to stretch your elasticized lining edge to match your self edge while sewing that seam.
If you have a picture, that might help me better understand.
------Your "Pattern Hack Fairy",
Catina Ferraine

I'm trying to repair a skirt that my sister had where the elastic had given out.
The lining has an elastic waist band which I changed the elastic in so it's now smaller than the actual skirt.
I'm trying to re-attach the skirt to the lining, but the skirt waist is now much bigger than the lining waist.
I hope that helps!
Seems like either the elastic needs to be stretched as it's sewn onto the skirt as catina posted...or the skirt needs to be baste gathered to fit the elastic skirt lining...or a combo of the two. So which way would make the resulting fit be best?
Is it possible for you to post up some pictures or video of your project? Or I will also be happy to do a youtube "hangout" with you that we can share with everyone (in case we happen to come up with something brilliant!) lol
You can't expect the differential feed to do all the work. You should place the skirt so the skirt fabric is on the feed dogs, put your needle(s) down and stretch the lining until it lays flat, serge a bit then readjust the fabric and do some more.

Welcome back Heather! So glad to see you!
I wondered what happened to you. You impressed me so much because you were new to sewing but advanced so incredibly fast. Then you bought new SM's, sergers and got a sewing room and then you vanished!
Glad you're back!
------Thank you Lord for my mother who taught me the joy of sewing, for my father and husband who encouraged my sewing, for the talent You gave me to sew, and for all the special people in my life to sew for.
I think it might be more easy to just do it on the sewing machine.Or just stretch it out by hand, pin or baste and then sew over it, just not over any pins.
Just since then you got two rounds of fabric, that you can fit together, and stretch one to fit the other, and even pin it in some good places, like at the seams, and in quarters or 1/8 of the round, and then you also got good visibility at your needle too, if it's a sewing machine.
If you just crank up your differential feed and it does actually gather and not just condense it a bit, I think it is going to do it on both layers at the same time too, not just one of them at all.
I kind of look at the differential feed on the serger, more like kind of using a ruffler/gathering attachment, just in that yes it can draw fabric up, (depending on the fabric) but it's not super gathered most times or super controllable, with two different size pieces of something in a limited amount of space. Also how much it draws anything up, just kind of depends on how thick and heavy it is too. I don't think it would help at all to stick some big gathering attachment onto the serger for that either, as then you would still have that issue, of it would just be gathering and then when you got close to back to sewing on the part of the round, where you started at, you might have ran out of fabric to gather at that point or have too much left over there to even fit it in that space.
Thanks for all of the tips!!
I ended up winging it... I used the differential feed on the serger to serge the larger (outer) layer to "gather" the skirt to make it smaller. With just ONE layer, that worked almost too well, had to stretch it out a bit to fit the lining.
Then serged the lining to the outer layer together. Took two steps instead of one, but worked pretty well. We'll see how long it holds up!
I've never attached elastic to something directly (always made a casing). It scares me to try to stretch it out that it won't fit properly, but I suppose I'll cross that bridge at some point!
Pj3g: thanks! yes, I really fell out of the sewing world for awhile, just wasn't feeling the motivation to sew (was also going through some personal stuff which didn't help). Now I've got the urge back and am FINALLY using my great sewing space that was all set up and just sitting there. So nice of you to remember me!!
I think we all have weeks, months or years where the motivation to sew goes into remission. I noticed you because you were such a beginner but learning and sewing at lighting speed. And then you were gone. I checked your profile periodically to see if you were around. I am very glad to know you are alive and well! There are a couple others I wonder about too. Anyway, so glad you are alive and well and back! I know you are destined to accomplish great things!
BTW, you have done way harder things than sewing on elastic! Sewing on elastic by stretching it is a piece of cake compared to the things you have already sewn!

|Cadmium exposure of women in general populations in Japan during 1991-1997 compared with 1977-1981.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10672488 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVES: The Japanese people are known to have high environmental exposure to cadmium (Cd). The present survey was initiated to elucidate possible changes in the intensity of Cd exposure to the population by comparison of the present exposure level with the situation some 15 years ago. METHODS: During 1991-1997, 24-h food-duplicate samples, peripheral blood specimens and morning spot urine samples were collected from 588 non smoking women from 27 survey sites in six regions, where food-duplicate and blood samples had also been obtained during 1977-1981 from 399 women. The samples were wet-ashed (after homogenization in the case of food-duplicates), and Cd in the wet-ashed samples was analyzed by inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry for Cd intake via foods (Cd-F), Cd concentration in blood (Cd-B) and Cd concentration in urine (Cd-U). The Cd-F and Cd-B were compared with the Cd-F and Cd-B obtained at the same sites in the 1977-1981 survey. RESULTS: The exposure levels during 1991-1997 were such that Cd-F, Cd-B and Cd-Ucr (Cd-U after correction for creatinine concentration) were 25.5 micrograms/day, 1.90 micrograms/l and 4.39 micrograms/g creatinine. Comparison with the 1977-1981 survey results (i.e., 37.5 micrograms/day for Cd-F and 3.47 micrograms/l for Cd-B) showed that there were significant reductions (by 32 and 45%) in both parameters respectively during the last 15 years. The dietary route was an almost exclusive (i.e., 99% of the sum of dietary and respiratory uptake) route of Cd uptake, of which Cd in rice (11.7 micrograms/day) contributed about 40% of the total dietary intake. When compared among survey sites, inter-site variation in dietary Cd intake was primarily due to differences in the intake through boiled rice. Despite the recent reduction in Cd exposure, the current exposure level for Japanese people is still higher than the levels among other rice-dependent populations in Asia as well as in other parts of the world. Comparison was made between the present findings in general populations and observations among known Cd-pollution cases in Japan. CONCLUSIONS: Dietary uptake is an almost exclusive route of Cd exposure in the general Japanese population. Boiled rice is a strong determinant of variation in dietary Cd intake. Whereas there was a substantial reduction in Cd exposure among Japanese populations in the last 15 years, the current level is still high when compared internationally.

Benedict XVI Extols a "Healthy Laicism"
Insists That Church Has a Voice in Public Arena
| 2307 hits
VATICAN CITY, MAY 18, 2006 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI described the separation of the Church and state as "great progress for humanity."
At the same time, the Pope clarified that when the Church expounds moral principles publicly, it is not violating laicism; rather, it offers its contribution to the common good within its own realm of action.
The Holy Father explained this today in his address to the general assembly of the Italian bishops' conference, which has been in session since May 15.
The Church is aware of the fundamental "distinction between what belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God, in other words, the distinction between Church and state, or the autonomy of the temporal sphere," the Pontiff said.
"The Church not only recognizes and respects this distinction and autonomy, but welcomes it, considering it great progress for humanity and a fundamental condition for her very freedom and for the fulfillment of its universal mission of salvation among all peoples," Benedict XVI continued.
"At the same time and precisely by virtue of its mission of salvation," he added, "the Church cannot rescind its task of purifying reason by the proposal of its own social doctrine based upon 'what is in accord with the nature of every human being,' and reawakening moral and spiritual forces by opening people's will to the authentic needs of what is good."
Ethical concerns
Moreover, the Pontiff explained that "without doubt, a healthy laicism of the state ensures that temporal matters are dealt with according to their own norms; to this, however, are associated ethical concerns that have their foundations in the very essence of man and that therefore, in the final analysis, can be traced back to the Creator."
"In current circumstances, by recalling the value for public and private life of certain ethical principles rooted in the great Christian heritage of Europe, and in particular of Italy, we commit no violation of the laicism of the state," the Holy Father said. "Rather, we contribute to guaranteeing and promoting the dignity of the person and the common good of society."
The Pope took leave of the Italian bishops, inviting them, to offer "a clear testimony to all our brothers and sisters in humanity. By doing so we do not burden them with useless weight, but help them to progress along the road of life and of true freedom."

Mini Digital/Analog Converter Makes Your Audio Listening Experience Better
Upgrade the Sound of Your Digital Music Stored on Your Computer:
Improving the sound quality of your listening experience can be an important thing for most people, especially if their using headphones as a means to entertain their ears. Not all notebooks and desktop computers come with a great soundcard, as usually the on-board integrated audio experience can lack luster leaving you wanting more. HiFiMAN has decided it's time for that to change. Enter the HM-101, a USB Digital/Analog Converter (DAC) that takes the music stored on your notebook or desktop computer and reconverts it into an experience worth listening to. The HM-101 is extremely tiny (seriously, look at how small it is) and yet manages to do an amazing job at making your audio sound huge whether you're using headphones, or are sending the signal to an amplifer or a set of speakers. One of the best features is that it utilizes USB and requires no battery, quickly making this external soundcard a more than valuable replacement for that pathetic integrated/onboard audio card you've been dealing with.
More information continues below:
The majority of computers today have decent on-board sound cards, however they provide a very lean and metallic sound. Perhaps this sound may work for some people but definitely not everyone. For those people who listen to music from their computer or laptop and demand a higher quality sound, replacing the sound card can be a quite an ordeal to replace and even then you may not achieve the sound that you are looking for. The HM-101 Sound Card by HiFiMan is an external USB sound card and a Digital Analog Converter (DAC). A DAC is a device that converts a digital, compressed music file and converts it to an analog signal. The DAC takes the digital output of a compatible audio player and converts the signal into an analog line-level output that can be fed into an amplifier to drive speakers.
The HM-101 is approximately half the size of a standard business card and does not require any batteries or charging. By simply plugging in the HM-101 into a USB drive, you will hear a noticeably cleaner, warmer, and fuller sounding audio. This unit is the perfect solution to making cheaper headphones sound better. If you're in need of a simple, portable, no-frills audio solution to greatly improve the quality of your digital music- look no further. Read More

- Compact and portable

Van Persie rues missed chancesComment on this story
London – Red-hot in front of goal in the Premier League all season, Manchester United striker Robin van Persie was left to rue his misfortune in the Champions League draw with Real Madrid on Wednesday that left the last 16 tie evenly poised.
The Dutch striker has enjoyed a fruitful first campaign after swapping the red of Arsenal for United, his league-leading 19 goals putting the Old Trafford side well on the way to regaining the title.
Van Persie was out of luck, though, in an intriguing first leg at the Bernabeu which ended in a 1-1 draw in the Spanish capital.
United, who led through Danny Welbeck's header only for former player Cristiano Ronaldo to equalise, were indebted to a series of fine saves from goalkeeper David De Gea.
Van Persie might have swung the tie in United's favour in the second half, having one fierce shot turned on to the bar by Real keeper Diego Lopez and a scuffed effort cleared off the line by Xabi Alonso soon after.
The Dutchman controlled the ball in the area but miscued his volley and Alonso was able to race back and hook the ball away with Lopez stranded.
"I had three (chances) in the second half, especially the one just after I hit the bar. That was a big chance. I should have put that one in. I just slightly mis-kicked it, didn't hit it properly," Van Persie said.
"With a bit of luck it could have gone in but they didn't and in the dying seconds the keeper made a really good save – I was counting on that one to go in."
In the frenetic dying minutes, Lopez palmed a Van Persie drive around the post.
Van Persie said the 1-1 draw was a "good result".
"We had a couple of good chances and I think if you'd said we would play out a 1-1 before the game, most of us would take it," the 29-year-old said.
"Away from home it's a good result. For the people who watched that game, they've seen chances on both sides and I think it was a great game to watch." – Reuters

'The Herminator' revs up Denver Republicans
Republicans raise Cain and bucks in traditionally Democratic domain
The Colorado Statesman
It's hard to be a Republican in Denver — at least according to Denver Republicans, who gathered for their annual Lincoln Day Dinner on March 18 at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
A parade of elected officials and party leaders applauded the several hundred Republicans — along with a handful of Libertarians and even a few Democrats — for standing tall in a city dominated by the opposing party.
"It's easy to be a Republican in Colorado Springs, in Douglas, in Weld County," said Secretary of State Scott Gessler, a Denver resident. "But it's not so easy in Denver. It's very brave for people to be Republicans here — to fight the fight, carry the flag, to do it unabashedly with integrity."
Potential presidential candidate Herman Cain fires up the crowd during his keynote speech at the Denver County Republicans' Lincoln Day Dinner on March 18 at the Museum of Nature and Science.

Far from being a Quixotic effort, Gessler said, revving up the Republican vote in Denver can tip the scales statewide, simply because there are so many voters in the city-and-county. Statewide GOP candidates who win more than 30 percent of the vote in Denver, Gessler said, have a pretty good chance of carrying Colorado.
"The truth is that if we in Denver can move that needle five percent — because Denver is such a big city and so important here in Colorado," Gessler said, "if we do our job, if we start it now until the election," Republicans can claim the state's nine electoral votes in the 2012 presidential election.
Gessler threw down a challenge: "It's easy to speak to the choir. Where we win elections is when we speak to people who aren't the choir — the independents, the unaffiliated, people who aren't necessarily already drinking our Kool Aid, as it were."
In recognition of Denver's vast bloc of Republican voters — in sheer numbers if not in percentage — a passel of candidates in the upcoming nonpartisan municipal election who happen to be Democrats mingled with the crowd. Mayoral hopefuls Chris Romer, James Mejia, Michael Hancock and Theresa Spahn along with Clerk and Recorder candidate Tom Downey shook hands during the reception, while At-large City Council candidate Josh Davies, Clerk and Recorder candidate Debra Johnson and Auditor Dennis Gallagher not only pressed the flesh but stayed for dinner.
Another statewide winner in the last election with deep Denver roots, State Treasurer Walker Stapleton, said he echoed what Gessler had to say about the importance of the Republican vote out of Denver, though he tempered his point with a quip. "You'd think with the name 'Stapleton,' you might have done a little bit better in Denver county — fortunately, I did just well enough to win statewide," he said.
Newly elected Denver County Republican Party Chairman Danny Stroud termed the night a resounding success, though he said this week party officials hadn't finished tallying receipts from the fundraising dinner and silent auction.
"We knew if we did this event right, we would raise consciousness and enthusiasm, which would open doors down the road," Stroud said after the dinner. "If we made money, I am happy, happy, happy, because that was a secondary goal for us. The primary goal was to kick off this campaign cycle with a monumental event."
Denver Republicans honored party stalwart Carolyn Metzler with the lifetime achievement award. Officials lauded the longtime legislative aide and past chairwoman of the Denver County GOP for her indefatigable efforts, including providing tireless guidance and "moral support" for Denver Republican candidates — "no easy task," Stroud cracked.
"One person cannot possibly achieve what many can achieve, and there are many people in this room that, if I have achieved anything, it is with their help," Metzler said. She added a friendly warning to the crowd: "If we don't figure out how to work together, together we will fail. So let's work on working together instead of in opposition where we don't all agree on the issues."
The Lincoln Day Dinner — an annual Republican tradition in every Colorado county — wasn't held at the museum by accident, Stroud pointed out. Because Democrats are treating Colorado as a crucial swing state, even bringing President Barack Obama to the very room where Republicans dined to sign the $787 billion federal stimulus bill, Stroud said he thought it was important to plant the Republican flag in the same place. "We wanted to make it clear, 'Not in our backyard,'" he said.
Possible Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain — dubbed "The Herminator" by 850 KOA talk show host and former FEMA Director Michael Brown, who emceed the dinner — underlined the point in the dinner's keynote address. Standing just a stone's throw from the spot where Obama signed the American Reinvestment And Recovery Act of 2009 just over two years ago, Cain vowed to return to do some bill-signing of his own.
"It's highly likely that if you all nominate the right person for president for the Republican nomination, and the right person becomes president of the United States, I'll sign the repeal of the healthcare law right here — where (Obama) signed the stimulus bill — right here in this building," Cain said to thunderous applause.
Noting that he's "been to a heckuva lot of Lincoln Day dinners," Brown said it's rare to have as powerful or prominent a speaker as Cain.
"He actually had to run a business," said Brown in his introduction. "And when he took over Godfather's Pizza, they were on the verge of bankruptcy — much like the United States Of America. And I thought, he's exactly what we need in this country because he is not a community organizer."
Cain's booming voice and up-from-poverty story had the crowd on its feet more than once, and his conservative message drew sustained applause.
"The American Dream is under attack," he said. "That's the bad news. But the good news is, we are fighting back to take back the American Dream!" Cain said the way to fix the economy was to overhaul the tax code by making the Bush tax cuts permanent, cutting the corporate tax rate to 25 percent, doing away entirely with the capital gains tax and instituting a "real" payroll tax holiday.
He ended his 30-minute speech with a call for Republicans to take seriously the freedoms they intend to pass on to future generations.
"I have a breaking-news announcement for the people that are trying to destroy this country, and all the liberals in Washington, D.C.," he said. "The United States of America is not going to become the United States of Europe — not on our watch."

Re: Down to under a month!!!surridge1990 Oct 6, 2013 4:22 PM (in response to eX_sniperzz)
Id rather pay them double the money and have ghosts now than have to put up with bo2 for another month :/
Re: Down to under a month!!!T-boss Oct 7, 2013 8:56 PM (in response to surridge1990)
Y, i have been playing PC MW2, mixed with BF.
sord of like the guys who went back to MW3 when BO2 sucked instead of going back to MW2 or BO or MW1.
Re: Down to under a month!!!pj600r Oct 6, 2013 4:38 PM (in response to eX_sniperzz)
I wouldn't go as far as to say I was pumped for Ghosts but I am looking forward to a new game, I don't buy many games and when I do I tend to keep them and get my money's worth, money is not a problem but it's a question of priorities.
I just hope it plays smoother and more consistent than BO2 did, which I didn't even put 3 days play into, although value wise that's still good but it's nowhere near what I put into other games in the series.
I owned a PS3 and XBOX copy of BO2 but I'll only get a copy of Ghosts for my Xbox this time, as I traded in my copies of BO2 months ago because i didnt play them and as usual got peanuts as a trade in price.
I can't justify buying an Xbox one either as I don't want the Kinect hardware so if they don't offer it without it at any time I won't buy one, and yes I will be buying that other game as well the one that no one dare mention on these forums.
Re: Down to under a month!!!highlandsparky Oct 6, 2013 4:39 PM (in response to eX_sniperzz)
I can't honestly say I'm "stoked"....I'll be awaiting some of the discussions here and also some gameplay footage, before considering this time round.
Re: Down to under a month!!!eX_sniperzz Oct 7, 2013 7:23 PM (in response to highlandsparky)
very respectable, I don't blame you
Re: Down to under a month!!!Foxhound-Pro Oct 6, 2013 5:57 PM (in response to eX_sniperzz)
I'm excited for it for sure and I can't wait to get my hands back on it. See what's changed and of course see the new maps and modes.
Re: Down to under a month!!!NoLifeKing29 Oct 6, 2013 7:33 PM (in response to eX_sniperzz)
Not even on my radar until I find out what modes are available in HC and Ricochet is confirmed to not be part of HC. I'm not expecting to hear this news until after the game comes out so definitely won't be picking it up at launch.
Re: Down to under a month!!!Laxadaisacal Oct 7, 2013 3:41 AM (in response to eX_sniperzz)
I'm not "head over heels", but I am looking forward to it. BO2 has bored me (I overplayed it ) and am looking for some revitalisation for the Cod series
Re: Down to under a month!!!trialstardragon Oct 7, 2013 6:31 PM (in response to eX_sniperzz)
Not stoked at all. More apprehensive if it will be any better or more of the same as the past several titles have been.
Re: Down to under a month!!!tonystark1284 Oct 7, 2013 7:11 PM (in response to eX_sniperzz)
Im stoked Activision makes the best call of dutys Its gona be sweet!

wait for a few weeks after it launches. that way when the day 1 people buy and no life it, they can tell us how good this COD is next to the older ones.
Re: Down to under a month!!!razvanciurez Oct 8, 2013 1:34 AM (in response to eX_sniperzz)
I already pre order it and indeed I'm anxious to have some fun... But meanwhile I just hope to see some new footage game play ...
Re: Down to under a month!!!appledaniel Oct 13, 2013 12:39 AM (in response to eX_sniperzz)
Im VERY excited! Reserved my clan from mw3 and bo2 on ghosts and got me excited to play! I hope they bring back competitions with prizes or things you can use in game like they had in mw3 on Elite! Those were some very fun times entering the team deathmatch competitions solo. Some of the most fun gaming times i have ever had! I just hope this time that they can control the cheating etc, in MW3 like the first 100 places of most every competition were cheaters or boosting and got disqualified. Squads and blitz look very cool also as a alternate game type. i have a feeling im going to spend a lot of time, making and progressing my squad, seems fun! So YES im very pumped about COD: Ghosts. Cant wait to play!
Re: Down to under a month!!!Hotpants22 Oct 13, 2013 6:20 PM (in response to eX_sniperzz)
I'm Very excited as this time it looks like everything is balanced out in the shot gun and sniper sections
Re: Down to under a month!!!NjDudeInGa Oct 13, 2013 8:13 PM (in response to eX_sniperzz)
I'm just happy that clans really mean something now & not just for soft challenges.....like get this many kills etc. now clans defend terrority..... AWESOME
Re: Down to under a month!!!rustygun Oct 15, 2013 2:30 AM (in response to eX_sniperzz)
Speaking as one massive fan who lives breathes and cant bare the the thought of not buying cod every year of course im excited. But im still concerned about little things that mean a lot to me that dont appear to be in the game. And with no finished build footage its taken the edge off it for me. Read my previous posts for details to save repeating myself.
I love hosting fun private matches and giving commentary to the game and therefore need certain tools to do that job effectively.
Im excited about the maps and the audio is very important and seems atlast to have been properly addressed. Remember how good the guns sounded in cod 4? I just hope the explosives and grenades actually do something in this game unlike bloomin black oos 2 when all you heard when you planted a claymore was...the enemy has destroyed your equipment??? Tedious....
Re: Down to under a month!!!banned-again Oct 15, 2013 7:19 AM (in response to eX_sniperzz)
well ive got about 6 - 7 weeks to wait before i can play it so im trying not to think about it to much i was thinking of renting it for a week for the 360 but im not sure if my rank will transfer to the xbox1 so i might just wait
Re: Down to under a month!!!nicedrewishfela Oct 15, 2013 12:30 PM (in response to eX_sniperzz)
Looking forward to giving it a go.
My excitement is a bit tempered this year because of the fact I rarely have time to play anymore. There is so much going on at home I just don't get to fire up the XBox as much as I used to, so I live vicariously through you all here on the boards during down time at work.

On the campaign trail, Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie, the Republican candidate, has recently run into problems trying to explain how he would cut $110 million in state spending by putting a cap of 2 percent on spending across the board — while not putting the state corrections budget, early education, Dr. Dinosaur, the state highway patrol and other 'too-important-to-fail' programs in jeopardy.
STATE BUDGET: We need to protect programs for the young and the elderly, after that everything is on the table. We need to look at personnel not based on years of service but on performance. This may sound harsh but in the private sector if you don't do your job you don't keep it. I would prefer not to see taxes go up, but if we can't streamline government, eliminate waste, and get people back to work I don't know how it can be helped.
STATE BUDGET: Anyone who builds and lives by a budget on the family, community or state level knows that we continue to be in tough economic times. We cannot and will not spend more than we have. Having said that, we must be smart about how we downsize state government. We must not make cuts that will only push costs to the local level or only lead to much higher expenses in the short term.
STATE BUDGET: Regrettably this is not a new problem. Over the past three fiscal years we have successfully mopped up $753 million in red ink spilled as a result of the great recession. We've made program adjustments and we've cut budgets but we have also stood by Vermonters in a time of great need.
STATE BUDGET: I do not see how we can cut any programs, especially social service programs that are especially needed now. The best approach would be to reduce bureaucratic inflation, that means personnel, especially at the top level where some positions seem more to serve political rather then the public interest. I would favor modest increases in income taxes for those who can afford to pay them. To say more would be to require a crystal ball.
MIDDLEBURY — Doug Hoffer, Democratic candidate for state auditor, has based his campaign on two principles: asking tough questions of government and state policies, and making sure the numbers cited in studies and reports — as well as those used by the Legislature and political leaders — contain the full picture of any issue, not just a slice of the pie to favor one political perspective over the other.
The reactions by the two leading candidates for governor on the latest news from Vermont Yankee speaks volumes about each candidate's approach to leadership — and each has its pros and cons.
Democrat Peter Shumlin, a long-time proponent of Vermont Yankee until shortly after it was purchased by Entergy, came out swinging and is more convinced than ever that a tough approach needs to be taken by the state to avoid sticking Vermont taxpayers with unforeseen costs down the road as a consequence of the tritium leaks.

Leicester City unveil new home kit
Posted: April 25, 2009|
The new kit
The new Leicester City home kit was unveiled last night in front of the Walkers Stadium crowd.
The new kit will feature no sponsor and a one-off, commemorative club badge as part of the club's 125-year anniversary.
The shirt will be sponsor-less for the first time since the 1982-83 season. But it will carry the name of Joma, the Spanish-based manufacturers.
A club spokesperson said: "There is a real excitement about the release of our new home kit.
"We believe we have come up with the perfect mix, a traditional Leicester City shirt that is free of a sponsor, coupled with a modern design, appropriate for the Club's 125 year Anniversary.
Supporters voted to leave the front of the club's home shirt blank next season.
About 65 per cent of the 20,000 fans who voted in the online poll requested that the shirt did not feature any logo.
Leicester City Supporters Club chairman Cliff Ginetta said: "The badge looks really good, it combines the old with the new and it's a great tribute to 125 years of the football club.
"The plain shirt was voted for by the fans, there were a couple of options but they chose to go without a sponsor.
"I think the fact that the anniversary has fallen on a season when Leicester have gained promotion really adds to the magic of the celebration."

If you dare print something good for a change: About two weeks ago, while looking around in Manchester's Dollar Store, a lady walked over to me and asked how I was. I said, "OK, and how are you?" She said, "I'm good" and handed me a small envelope that was doused with perfume. Thinking it was a sample of perfume, I stuck it in my purse and thanked her.
When I got home, I took it out of my purse. Inside was a $25 gift card for Giant grocery store. She also had a card inside saying how blessed she was. She was laid off from her job 3.5 years ago and never went hungry or didn't lose her home. She wanted to pass on her blessings and said "I will be blessed," signed Linda.
So, Linda, wherever you are, "I thank you." I passed the gift on to the SPCA because I think they could use it more than I need it. There still are good people around us. Be kind. Thank you. SPCA was touched by the generosity.

Mike McCarthy didn't need to wait until the Green Bay Packers completed their crash course on defending the read option or give defensive coordinator Dom Capers time to finish his offseason analysis to know what his team must do better this season.

Great idea
By Robin
from Sarasota, FL
Comments about PODS Storage Center Storage:
I was between homes for 30 days, I paid to have the PODS container loaded, and to have it unloaded so much easier than taking it by truck paying for a storage loading, unloading, reloading then unloading...We loaded the PODS container, it was stored in a climate controlled building, and it was brought back to me when I was ready...A Bright idea...It was an awesome experience.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

One word...GENIUS!!!

This concept is nothing short of GENIUS!!!! You step right out your door to load and store things and then have them take it away to be out of your way. Everything in life should be this simple!!!
Not honest in rates
By JIm

why would anyone use you when you lie from the start? you state Free delivery and pickup Discounted monthly rate Use promotional code "BUNDLE" but when doing quote with BUNDLE there still a delivery pickup charge. Shows dishonesty
By Trucker0824
from Davenport, FL
Delivered exactly what was quoted in a very timely manner. Also picked up and delivered to new location. Great experience with this company.
Great way to declutter and store!
By VChen
from Richmond, VA
PODS container was in great condition and very spacious. We purchased a lock through the company for convenience, but you can really use any lock.We needed access to the PODS container while it was in storage and this was a fairly simple process and access was convenient.
I would pay for this service again.
By She
from Seminole, FL
Thanks to PODS our move was a success! It was my first time using them and I will use them again. They delivered when they said they would. I had no problem talking to a person and not a machine. They gave me a quote and that's what I paid, there were no hidden fees.
Inconvenient weekend days/hours.
By LAA
from Tracy, CA
One thing that's not too good is that the PODS storage facility is not open all weekend; it's only open on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. It's closed on Sundays!! Most people work all week and need a complete weekend to move.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
I highly recommend PODS

from MN, TWIN CITIES
i WAS GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE WITH A TWO YEAR OLD. I HAD TO PACK A THREE STORY HOME AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MOVE EVERYTHING AND LOAD/DRIVE A TRUCK AND RETURN THE TRUCK MOVING 50 MILES AWAY. I HAD DONE THAT TYPE OF MOVE SEVERAL TIMES AND JUST COULD'T DO IT AGAIN. A SMALL FINANCIAL INVESTMENT IN THE PODS CONTAINER, THEY PICKED THE SIZE FOR ME AND DELIVERED IT ON SCHEDULE AND WHERE I NEEDED IT IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE AAA MOVERS,RECOMMENDED BY PODS, TWO GUYS CAME, AND IN TWO HOURS HAD THE HOUSE EMPTY AND THE POD PROFESSIONALLY PACKED SO NOTHING WOULD DISLODGE OR BREAK. THE AAA GUYS, SINCE THEY GOT DONE WITH AN HOUR TO SPARE THEN WENT TOP TO BOTTOM OF THE HOME AND PICKED UP EVERY PIECE OF ANYTHING AND HELPED ME COMPLETE THAT LAST HORRIBLE WALK THROUGH IN NO TIME AND HELPED LOAD UP ALL THOSE RANDOM ITEMS. THE ENTIRE MOVE WAS DONE IN UNDER THREE HOURS! AAA GUYS WERE ABOUT $300 AND THE BEST MONEY SPENT TO HELP LOAD THE PODS CONTAINER CORRECTLY AND EFFICIENTLY. LOVE EVERYTHING!

Perms for Thick Hair
Hoping to get the perm however questioning whether it may fit your thick hair? The content below can help you away.
Thick hair and perms? Is it not a good idea? I am talking about for those who have beautiful thick hair, would it not appear amazing? Individuals good curls, caressing the cheekbones and the neck (would be the men ogling?!) and so on. A lot for any graceful phrase on perms and curls! However what's the offer about thick hair? Is perming the best choice? Let us discover.
Types of Perms for Thick Hair
Should you be considering any kind of unique type of perm for thick hair, then permit me personally tell you just how you will find essentially Three types of perms which may be accustomed to curl thick hair. Obviously it's true which possibly of those is going to be better suited to thick hair.
Acid Perms
These types of acid perms can be used for making extremely trained and versatile waves. Acid perms have a chemical broker known as glyceryl monothioglycollate which has a less severe citrus motion. These will take longer period when compared with additional types of perms due to their own mild formula. Each one of these factors result in a wise decision for fine, delicate, bleached, delicate, permeable, chemical handled, damaged or colored hair. A good citrus perm cuts down on the chance of hair harm because they have a slightly citrus motion. This particular type of perm demands heat to spread out in the follicle weighing scales for getting into the cortex after which curly hairstyles tend to be accomplished.
Exothermic Perms
Also known as exothermic waves, these types of perms tend to be personal heating system and personal time. The term exothermic signifies the development of mild heat that is a consequence of the chemical response happens on combining the product. Tough and lively curls are made with this technique. The product is permeated in the follicle due to the heat also it circumstances and fortifies the hair from in.
Alkaline Perms
The perm that is maintained for any longer time period may be the niche of alkaline perms. The main reason they are favored for thick hair, is always that these may be used quicker compared to additional two types of perms, that's barely Twenty minutes. Absolutely no additional heat is needed fromout the application. Ammonium thioglycolate may be the energetic chemical broker in this type of perm. Usually this type of perm is chosen thick hair or perhaps or else.
Perming Thick Hair
Experts say, among the best type of hair for perming is thick hair having a natural wave. Actually perms for thick hair could be a real life-saver. You skill for perming your hair is following washing your hair, switch this benefit down and apply gel in it. Which will stop your hair from frizzing once they dry. Right now component your hair as you would like this and allow it to atmosphere dry. Make use of a curl spritzer following it's dry and begin curling 1 area at any given time. Keep in mind that the much less hair you curl previously, the better the result is going to be. To get individuals good curls, you are able to used various types of supports — small those are the tight the curl could be. Consider great hair care fromout after getting curls.
Obviously these types of beautiful curly hair locks are not equipped without a cost! Something that is essential here's to know which perming needs to be very carefully carried out. It's better to get all of them made by the hair stylist in a correct method.
Lastly, size up how healthy your hair is before you decide to curl Them up or consider perms! This way the harm to the hair could be minimum! Consider care!

Imagination announces ray-tracing graphics for future mobile devices
updated 12:50 am EDT, Thu March 20, 2014
Provides more realistic shadow, light sources and transparency effects
Imagine Technologies, the company that provides graphics subsystems used in Apple's iPhone and iPad processors as well as other GPUs, has announced a new version of the PowerVR graphics architecture, called "Wizard," that adds realism and better lighting and transparency effects to graphics by using selected ray-tracing effects alongside traditional rasterization. The technology is already supported in the just-announced Unity 5 gaming engine.
Apple and other companies that rely on PowerVR graphics as part of their mobile chips are likely to incorporate the new technology into future smartphone and tablet designs. Wizard graphics are able to add increasingly photo-realistic recognition of all light sources from all angles, shadowing and much-improved transparency to traditional rasterized graphics -- creating a hybrid look that behaves more realistically, particularly in motion. Apple owns 10 percent of Imagination Technologies, making them an all-but-certain client.
"For the better part of the last eight years, we have been busy developing unique hardware and software technologies to radically lower the cost and dramatically increase the efficiency and performance of ray tracing," the company said in a statement. "The PowerVR Wizard GPU family ... opens up the potential of highly photorealistic, computer-generated imagery to a host of new real-time applications and markets not previously possible."
The Wizard GPUs announced today will likely be part of products in the 2015 product cycle, rather than any new smartphones or tablets from Apple expected this year, like the next iPhone and iPad -- however as a minority investor, the company may try to win an early advantage in its premium models by negotiating for exclusive access to early runs of the products.

Motorists and cyclists can be found sharing the roadways every day in Sioux Falls, and the differences can create conflict.
"Sometimes it's drivers that are impatient or annoyed that the bicyclists are on the roadway. Sometimes we have bicyclists that aren't obeying the laws of the road and doing things they're not supposed to be doing," Sioux Falls Police Public Information Officer Sam Clemens said.
People riding a bike can use sidewalks and roads to get around the city. When they're on the sidewalk, they have to be especially aware of pedestrians.
"They have to make sure that they're yielding to pedestrians, give some kind of audible noise or alert that they're coming and they're going to pass them," Clemens said.
Once they're on the road, the rules change completely. They are just like any other vehicle and have to follow the laws of the road.
"They have to stop at stop signs, stop at red lights. You can't be going through an intersection just because you're on a bicycle and there's a red light," Clemens said.
If the roads are normal size, bikes need to stay to the right, but riders can be in the middle of the lane if the road is smaller. There are also special laws to protect them, including a required three-foot space for drivers to safely pass cyclists.
"Any time a bicycle meets up with any type of motor vehicle, it's a lose situation for the bicyclist, so there's a lot of things that are done to try and ensure the safety of the bicyclists, but we also need to remind bicyclists that if you're on the roadway that you're operating like a motor vehicle," Clemens said.
If you would like to see a full list of rules that cyclists must follow while they're on the roads, visit the Sioux Falls City Planning website.
