For those of you with LO with 2 naps, how does your schedule looks like?
Confused on how to go for the 3 to 2 nap transition for my 7.5 months old DS
Sounds like UT to me kfin...what WT's are you using or are you BTC?
Heather (38)
David (34), husband to Linnett (36), Father of Joshua 12/11/2009 and Jacob 09/26/2011
Rolling and playing for an hour now. (If he was OT, he'd be crying for most of it right?) DS will be 9 mos in 5 days. I'm using a BTC, WT combo. He's getting 11 + hours of sleep a night and naps roughly at 9 and 1:00/1:30. He was doing great with this schedule which ended up being 3/3.25/3.5 most days last week. Should I try for 9:15 and 1:30 tomorrow? (Although I can only imagine what tonight will bring with only two 45 minute naps...)
Heather (38)
My son transitioned recently and he's almost 7.5 months. I do more BTC most of the time unless one nap went bad.If the first one is shorter I put him down a little earlier for the second one. Usually this is his day:
wake anytime between 6:15 and 7:00. He is so unpredictable!
nap #1 9:30-11:00
nap # 2: 2:00 - 3:00, occasionally 3:30, but rare
bedtime 7 pm
He is able to handle a long waketime before bed. Usually it's 4 hours. If you've read the Polly Moore Book about 90 min sleep cycles. She says older babies can transition to 3 hour wake windows (multiples of 90) and sometimes even a 4.5 hour wake window before bed (another multiple of 90).
Good luck! Transition is tough. Mine had a horrible week of night wakings due to longer wake times and finally he's better and sleeping 7-3:30, drinking a bottle then sleeping till 6:15-7:00.
I've read on this board that you need TWT to be over 9 hrs to not have NWs or super early wake ups. For my LO, this is true. You might try getting him up earlier in the morning before stretching out the final WT. That might make him OT. The good news is it doesn't last forever.
I would do earlier WU, later BT might not help.
Anyone have to limit naps to preserve CBT???? My early riser needs to be asleep by 630 latest in order to get 11 hour ONS...last night was not good, didn't fall asleep till 7, LONG last WT and up before 530. Nap this morning was 830 to 10. Next nap I was aiming for 1/115. I am still trying to figure out a good last WT (3.5-4 I think) without getting OT which is what happened last night I think. So I might need to limit next nap to 230(if he sleeps that long) so that I get him to bed at a decent time. Seems kind of crazy that I need to do this but the later BT's (like 645 is late !!) is not doing him any good.
Anyone else have to do this?
Heather (38)
Yes. I did this last week when I was getting some great naps. My LO really needs to be asleep by 6:30 as well. (Although he did start sleeping 11 hrs. if I put him down at 7:00 this week which leaves me wondering if I should stick with that or go earlier and try for 12 hrs. I always worry he won't nap that much on 12 hrs sleep...) I started waking him at 3:00 for a 6:30 BT. Then I had to start waking him at 11:00 for his first nap to ensure he'd get a full second hour nap at 2:00. It's 3:04 as I type this and I'm hoping he wakes up in the next five minutes or so. I hate waking him.
I pushed the morning nap back and didn't PD until 9:15 this morning and he gave me an hour and 20 minute nap. Then I PD right before 2:00 and he's just done over an hour. This is a more similar schedule to what he did last week so I think raising the WTs helped. I'm hoping to try to stick with the 9:15/2:00ish naptimes.

In a couple of weeks, thousands of students in the Plymouth-Canton school district, as in districts across the state, will begin the 2013/14 school year.
And, thanks to school supply drives conducted by organizations such as the Plymouth Salvation Army, the United Way and others, the needy among them will be able to start the year with a new backback and a set of school supplies.
The Salvation Army is conducting its annual "Back 2 School Blitz" and provided the beginning of donations earlier this week. ...

Project Lead: Professor Sandra Kemp, Senior Research Fellow
Human civilisation is built on ideas of the future. We all anticipate – whether through prediction, imagination or planning. Through these acts of anticipation, the future exerts a powerful influence on the present and on our understanding of the past. Imagining new futures involves drawing on historical precedents, and notions about the future are a pervasive material presence in our everyday lives. In particular, art, architecture and design provide a cultural context for ideas of the future, both as radical alternative and as objects of science and governance. The futures revealed in such material forms embody the perspectives and the values of the societies that produced them. Diverse craft traditions, design practices and technologies interact with political and social contexts, resulting in objects that hold our ideas of the future.
But there has been little research to understand how the future is embedded in artefacts, and how cultural institutions and others use them to advance knowledge. Following on from the V&A's initial futures-related research project, 'The Future is Our Business', and 'Visionaries' Podcast Series Launches. funded through an exploratory award from the Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC), the V&A is leading the development of a multi-disciplinary research project based in the V&A Research Department that investigates the dynamic relationship between past, present and future as evidenced in key artefacts and sites of material culture. How can cultural institutions use the past to shape our ideas and provoke debate about the future? The project is structured through a series of international studies on futures-oriented artefacts and futures-shaping institutions in partnership with other museums and galleries, universities, industry and government agencies, nationally and internationally.
Showcasing the Future: Socialising Knowledge and Innovation
My recent work on the project includes historical study of those temporary events and exhibitions of arts and sciences known as 'soirées' and 'conversaziones'.
Soirées had their heyday in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, and provided occasions for men and women to think about the future as embodied in new goods and technologies at the more experimental stages of their development. H. G. Wells described soirées a number of times in his fictions, characterising attendance at one such event as an occasion at which 'imminent change was made even alarmingly visible' (Ann Veronica, 1909). Attended by 'literary lions, artistic celebrities, famous lecturers upon science, distinguished inventors in mechanics, discoverers of planets', soirées foregrounded 'the very pick of the best of the most recent inventions' (The Standard, April 1871).
As noted in a Times newspaper report of a speech in Parliament in March 1860, soirées had been a key features of the South Kensington Museum's 'popularising' programme of activities from its inception. Our research also includes exploration of the soirées' permanent legacy in the development of national museum identities, collection policies and modes of display.
Intended outcomes of the project
This project is in the process of seeking Research Council funding and has already secured generous industry support. Envisaged outputs will include publications, exhibitions and events across diverse partner organisations.

With the recent article in the Feb. 14 Community Recorder (Villa Hills May Look For Police Department Bids) regarding the mayor of Villa Hills seeking bids from other cities and the county for contracting out other cities or the county's police department to replace the Villa Hills Police Department, can there be little doubt now of the mayor's continued vendetta against the Villa Hills Police Department that dates back to when the mayor was arrested on forgery charges in addition to the testimony from the police department during the mayor's removal hearing.
The mayor's plan all along has been to eliminate the police department as he has purposely kept the department understaffed for the two plus years he has been mayor. If you doubt that the mayor all along had plans to eliminate the police department and that he probably even discussed this with the Kenton County Judge-executive Steve Arlinghaus, then why did the judge-executive, when he addressed the Villa Hills council in January, say, "Who knows where your police department is going to be by the end of the year."
With three councilpersons on ouncil apparently favoring with the mayor eliminating our police department and three apparently against, this would mean a tie vote with the mayor having a vote to break the tie. Just what do you think the mayor's vote would then be?
If concerned residents Villa Hills value the Villa Hills Police Department and want to maintain excellent response time by our police department rather than longer response times by another city's police department when you may need it and want continued visibility on the streets of Villa Hills versus sporadic visibility by another city or the county, then you better "Stand Up and Be Heard or Face the Consequences."
What can you do? Let the mayor and council know you support our police department by attending council meetings on the third Wednesday of each month and by emailing council and the mayor and by calling the City Building.

This the worst hotel I have stayed in years and years -- maybe ever. The AC unit blew tepid air and clattered to beat the band. The whole place smelled bad. The room was dirty and the toiletry items were used! Dirty. Check-in staff were just short of rude. Oh, I almost forgot, the toilet wasn't bolted to the floor.

The hotel was used or a place to sleep and eat breakfast. We was there for 50th wedding anniversary, so we did not spend time at the hotel.

I will never stay at a Holiday Inn due to the poor service we got in Elk City Oklahoma. We had to call for sheets to make our own beds at 1230 at night. The whole place smelled like smoke from all the smokers. Some of the maids did nothing but talk about their drug habits out in the open. It was a bad stay!

Also consider looking at Patrick (Gadjet) Gainer's past posts on phenidone and vitamin C and TEA. Getting TEA may be a challenge in th EU though.
They don't need to be long lasting in working form, because they are kind of like an HC 110 film developer syrup , but are a paper developer syrup also.
I mixed it up a few years ago, and used it first on film - nice looking negs- and then varriedthe alkalinity and used almost the same stuff to devlop prints

"I am Barack Obama, President of the United States -- AMA"
With that, President Obama sent waves across the Internet and prompted an explosion of tweets, introducing his very own "Ask Me Anything" Reddit thread, beginning at 4:30 p.m. ET Wednesday.
(Scroll down for his responses)
Reddit moderators and administrators quickly confirmed it was actually Obama in the comment thread, and Obama himself posted on his verified campaign Twitter account that it was indeed him.
The IAmA Reddit series allows Reddit users to ask questions of people from many walks of life, as seen here, and vote up their favorite questions and responses. It is a crowd-sourced Q&A of sorts hosted by the Internet.
The Washington Post reports that Obama is hosting the Q&A during a campaign stop in the same city Reddit was born in 2005 -- Charlottesville, Va.
See the full AMA thread and Obama's answers here.
Obama included the following in his 10th and final response:
"Speaking of balance, though, I need to get going so I'm back in DC in time for dinner. But I want to thank everybody at reddit for participating - this is an example of how technology and the internet can empower the sorts of conversations that strengthen our democracy over the long run. "
So looks like that's it. Scroll down for a look back at his responses and find the full thread here.
In case you missed it, in one of his responses, Obama wrote: "if you want to know what I think about this whole reddit experience - NOT BAD!"
Obama's response on unemployment and the economy was 297 words long. It was posted 15 minutes after his previous post on the White House beer for the longest gap between posts.
gobearss asks, "How do you balance family life and hobbies with, well, being the POTUS?"
Obama's response:
It's hard - truthfully the main thing other than work is just making sure that I'm spending enough time with michelle and the girls. The big advantage I have is that I live above the store - so I have no commute! So we make sure that when I'm in DC I never miss dinner with them at 6:30 pm - even if I have to go back down to the Oval for work later in the evening. I do work out every morning as well, and try to get a basketball or golf game in on the weekends just to get out of the bubble. Speaking of balance, though, I need to get going so I'm back in DC in time for dinner. But I want to thank everybody at reddit for participating - this is an example of how technology and the internet can empower the sorts of conversations that strengthen our democracy over the long run. AND REMEMBER TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER - if you need to know how to register, go to Gottaregister.com. By the way, if you want to know what I think about this whole reddit experience - NOT BAD!
Reddit user hmlee posts:
I am recent law school graduate. Despite graduating from a top school, I find myself unemployed with a large student loan debt burden. While I'm sure my immediate prospects will improve in time, it's difficult to be optimistic about the future knowing that my ability to live a productive life -- to have a fulfilling career, to buy a house, to someday raise a family -- is hampered by my debt and the bleak economic outlook for young people. I know that I'm not alone in feeling this way. Many of us are demoralized. Your 2008 campaign was successful in large part due to the efforts of younger demographics. We worked for you, we campaigned for you, and we turned out in record numbers to vote for you. What can I say to encourage those in similar situations as I am to show up again in November? What hope can you offer us for your second term?
Obama's response:
I understand how tough it is out there for recent grads. You're right - your long term prospects are great, but that doesn't help in the short term. Obviously some of the steps we have taken already help young people at the start of their careers. Because of the health care bill, you can stay on your parent's plan until you're twenty six. Because of our student loan bill, we are lowering the debt burdens that young people have to carry. But the key for your future, and all our futures, is an economy that is growing and creating solid middle class jobs - and that's why the choice in this election is so important. The other party has two ideas for growth - more taxs cuts for the wealthy (paid for by raising tax burdens on the middle class and gutting investments like education) and getting rid of regulations we've put in place to control the excesses on wall street and help consumers. These ideas have been tried, they didnt work, and will make the economy worse. I want to keep promoting advanced manufacturing that will bring jobs back to America, promote all-American energy sources (including wind and solar), keep investing in education and make college more affordable, rebuild our infrastructure, invest in science, and reduce our deficit in a balanced way with prudent spending cuts and higher taxes on folks making more than 0,000/year. I don't promise that this will solve all our immediate economic challenges, but my plans will lay the foundation for long term growth for your generation, and for generations to follow. So don't be discouraged - we didn't get into this fix overnight, and we won't get out overnight, but we are making progress and with your help will make more.
If you're having trouble accessing Reddit right now, you're not alone.
Many Twitter users are saying they can't log on. You may see the message: "reddit is under heavy load right now, sorry. Try again in a few minutes."
Peter Kafka explains on AllThingsD how Reddit got Obama to do the Q&A.
According to Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit:
There's not a lot to it. I've gotten to know quite a few folks in the WH & Obama campaign team over the years and it was always something I brought up when I got the chance. There are quite a few redditors at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave and at the campaign HQ — given the prominence of reddit, it's an easy sell.
Silent1mezzo asks, "What's the recipe for the White House's beer?"
Obama responds, "It will be out soon! I can tell from first hand experience, it is tasty."
Suzmerk asks, "What are you going to do to end the corrupting influence of money in politics during your second term?"
Obama responds:
Money has always been a factor in politics, but we are seeing something new in the no-holds barred flow of seven and eight figure checks, most undisclosed, into super-PACs; they fundamentally threaten to overwhelm the political process over the long run and drown out the voices of ordinary citizens. We need to start with passing the Disclose Act that is already written and been sponsored in Congress - to at least force disclosure of who is giving to who. We should also pass legislation prohibiting the bundling of campaign contributions from lobbyists. Over the longer term, I think we need to seriously consider mobilizing a constitutional amendment process to overturn Citizens United (assuming the Supreme Court doesn't revisit it). Even if the amendment process falls short, it can shine a spotlight of the super-PAC phenomenon and help apply pressure for change.
According to Reddit's counter, the AMA has had 1,853,997 readers so far (and counting).
FifthSurprise asks, "What was the most difficult decision that you had to make during this term?"
Obama's response:
The decision to surge our forces in afghanistan. Any time you send our brave men and women into battle, you know that not everyone will come home safely, and that necessarily weighs heavily on you. The decision did help us blunt the taliban's momentum, and is allowing us to transition to afghan lead - so we will have recovered that surge at the end of this month, and will end the war at the end of 2014. But knowing of the heroes that have fallen is something you never forget.
Daveforamerica posted: "What is the first thing you'll do on November 7th, win or lose?"
Obama's response:
Win or lose, I'll be thanking everybody who is working so hard - especially all the volunteers in field offices all across the country, and the amazing young people in our campaign offices.
PartyInYourMouth posts: "How are you going help small businesses in 2013 and 2014? and what if any bills are you going to impliment for small businesses, in 2013, and 2014?"
Obama's response:
We've really focused on this since I came into office - 18 tax cuts for small business, easier funding from the SBA. Going forward, I want to keep taxes low for the 98 percent of small businesses that have 0,000 or less in income, make it easier for small business to access financing, and expand their opportunities to export. And we will be implementing the Jobs Act bill that I signed that will make it easier for startups to access crowd-funding and reduce their tax burden at the start-up stage.
A light-hearted third response.
Karlfranks asked, "Who's your favorite Basketball player?"
Obama responded: "Jordan - I'm a Bulls guy."
Obama's second response was regarding a question on Internet Freedom.
SharkGirl posted "We know how Republicans feel about protecting Internet Freedom. Is Internet Freedom an issue you'd push to add to the Democratic Party's 2012 platform?"
Obama's response:
Internet freedom is something I know you all care passionately about; I do too. We will fight hard to make sure that the internet remains the open forum for everybody - from those who are expressing an idea to those to want to start a business. And although their will be occasional disagreements on the details of various legislative proposals, I won't stray from that principle - and it will be reflected in the platform.
In response to questions whether or not it's really Obama, he also posted this photo evidence.
Obama responded to the top-voted question first.
Reddit user ormirian asked, "Are you considering increasing funds to the space program?"
Obama responded:
Making sure we stay at the forefront of space exploration is a big priority for my administration. The passing of Neil Armstrong this week is a reminder of the inspiration and wonder that our space program has provided in the past; the curiosity probe on mars is a reminder of what remains to be discovered. The key is to make sure that we invest in cutting edge research that can take us to the next level - so even as we continue work with the international space station, we are focused on a potential mission to a asteroid as a prelude to a manned Mars flight.
As it begins. According to Reddit.
(April 27, 2011) -- The White House released President Barack Obama's "long form" birth certificate, adding documentation to a longstanding discussion over his ability to serve as commander in chief. "We do not have time for this kind of silliness," Obama said. "We have better stuff to do. I have got better stuff to do. We have got big problems to solve." (JEWEL SAMAD/AFP/Getty Images)
(May 1, 2011) -- In a televised address to the nation, Obama announces that Osama bin Laden is dead. His death was the result of a U.S. operation launched today in Abbottabad, Pakistan, against a compound where bin Laden was believed to be hiding. "[T]oday's achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people," Obama proclaimed. (Photo by Pete Souza/The White House via Getty Images)
(Aug. 2, 2011) -- After the Senate passed a bill to raise the debt limit, Obama pleaded with Congress to shift their attention to jobs. "I will urge them to immediately take some steps -- bipartisan, common-sense steps -- that will make a difference; that will create a climate where businesses can hire, where folks have more money in their pockets to spend, where people who are out of work can find good jobs," he said. (Photo by Brendan Smialowski/Getty Images)
(Sept. 20, 2011) -- As the ban on gays serving in the military came to an end, Obama hailed the fresh start, celebrating the fact that "patriotic Americans in uniform will no longer have to lie about who they are in order to serve the country they love." (Photo by Brendan Hoffman/Getty Images)
(Oct. 21, 2011) -- Obama announced that all U.S. troops will be out of Iraq by 2011, fulfilling a promise that dated back to his campaign. "As a candidate for president, I pledged to bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end," Obama said. "So today I can report that, as promised, the rest of our troops in Iraq will come home by the end of the year." (Photo credit should read JIM WATSON/AFP/Getty Images)
(Jan. 20, 2012) -- During a fundraiser at Harlem's historic Apollo Theater, Obama delivered a memorable musical message to his donors. With Rev. Al Green in attendance, Obama sang part of Green's hit song "Let's Stay Together," drawing strong applause from the crowd.
(Feb. 21, 2012) -- Days after his Al Green rendition, Obama flexed his vocal chords again with a hometown favorite. The East Room of the White House had its blues fix filled when the president started swinging "Sweet Home Chicago."
(May 9, 2012) -- In a sit-down interview with ABC's Robin Roberts, Obama explained his evolution on the issue, affirming his support for gay marriage. "[A]t a certain point I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married," he said.
(June 15, 2012) -- The Obama administration addressed America's immigration issue, announcing that it will halt deportations and grant work permits to young individuals eligible for Dream-Act benefits. "They pledge allegiance to our flag," Obama said. "They are Americans in their hearts, in their minds, in every single way but one: on paper."(Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)
(June 28, 2012) -- After weeks of speculation that Obama's signature piece of legislation could be overturned, the Supreme Court ruled that the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate is constitutional. "It should be pretty clear that I didn't do this because it's good politics," Obama said. "I did it because it's good for the country." (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)

On Sean Hannity's Fox News show this evening, former senator Fred Thompson endorsed Newt Gingrich for president. "I have come to the growing realization that Newt Gingrich is the guy who can articulate what America is all about," Thompson told Hannity. Thompson himself briefly ran for president in 2008.

The best hot and sour soup in the Midwest. Bring friends if you're going to partake in a bowl because the small feeds a small army.

The charcuterie is outstanding, especially the rabbit.
If you're flying Southwest, do your tummy a favor and head over to Cigar City Brewing for breakfast.
Treat your taste buds right, get the split pea soup.
Robert is the best groomer in the city. Our dog loves going to visit him and we love the way he looks afterward. Hands down, this is the best place to get your dog groomed in Detroit.
The huevos rancheros are excellent. Far exceeded my humble expectations for airport food.
Long lines to get in? Go to the Beer Hall at Montcalm and Brush. Short lines and proximity to cold beer are the main attractions.
Park in the private lot behind the Fisher and Dr. Donigan will validate your parking.
They've got a shuttle to the other Henry Ford offices in the area. Use it to get to the cafeteria at One Ford Place if you can go with an employee. Much better food.
When they say large, they mean large. My Americano is huge and good!
Ask for the strong ale even if it's not on the board. It's worth the extra buck if they've got it.

Vegas visitors occasionally need to grab food / snacks in order to refuel for the next round of their personal Vegas romp. In the process, most visitors would prefer to limit both costs and time required to accomplish that refueling.
We've compiled a list of twenty Vegas eateries ( cafe-restaurants/ chains/ quick-bite establishments) that have multiple offerings generally costing less than $10 per person. Most of these locales don't involve much time to place orders/ be served (excluding special events/ some weekends). These venues don't have aquariums or girls in cages, are very non-fancy, and some are well recognized chain establishments.
We've patronized most of these eateries on Vegas trips and they all generally fulfill the cheap and quick prerequisites. Both on and off Strip eateries are included. We've often wondered if Joel Robuchon and Michael Mina visit some of these when they're on the go and not doing their fancy Vegas dining establishment things... who knows?
Check the provided links for further info including locations and menus. Players club memberships (all free to join) will result in dining discounts at some (particularly off-Strip) casino eateries. Previous LVE articles (linked below) address best Vegas steak specials, top late-night/graveyard specials, and coupon sources for Vegas dining discounts.

- Capriotti's Sandwich Shops (25 locations in Vegas)

(same amounts of soda, vitamin C and old brown if you use it, but with the coffee/water portion replaced by that bottle of wine your aunt gave you. ) Stinky, and somewhat slower, but quite effective. I recently printed about six paper negatives that were intended for a Caffenol show and they look almost identical.

Fast, relaiable and inexpensive to fix.
Too small for a large family.
A Great, Reliable Vehicle. — This car is awsome. Drives like a tank through the snow. Smooth ride and fast. Great trunk space. I just wish it could truly fit 5 full size adults in it. I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks Chevy for a great all american vehicle!

Decent and efficient six cylinder motor
Long term quality
2005 Chevrolet Mailbu Ls V6 Is Ok — Overall decent car but if you have the money, go for the 2008 and newer body style. Its overall a better car. This car is flawed in several ways. I have driven the newer one and its an improvement over this one.

to many sensors to change when they go bad
Ok — the car is ok. i like that i will never have to change a belt because it doesn't have any but the acceleration sucks and i haven't found any add ons yet. i would like to upgrade the engine or add a turbo but none are available. so it will just be my boring driving car.

Strong roll cage
Seats are uncomfortable
Malibu Is A Safe Car In Roll Overs. — it makes for a good car in roll over accidents. it's really built tough. I Absolutely hated the seats. they are very uncomfortable. The Performance was pretty good but I prefer the Galant's acceleration. it was a decent car once you found a a comfortable spot in the seats.

05 Malubu — well the malubu isnt very attractive, and its slow on acceleration. but it does get good gas millage though. its a 4 cyl. the interior is typical. but it will get you to point A to B. i do recommend this car if your looking for a nice quiet drive that will get you to places without hassle. on the other hand it is quite pricy.

TRURO – Officials with the International Fund for Animal Welfare responded to a minke whale found floundering in the surf on a Truro beach Sunday afternoon.
The water around the whale was bloody and people were standing around watching as IFAW Marine Mammal Rescue and Research Program officials discussed what to do.
(Story update: 9:14 a.m., Aug. 18: The injured minke whale died overnight. Read the latest here)
The whale, which is a member of the baleen suborder, was "skinny," IFAW Assistant Stranding Coordinator C.T. Harry said.
It was unclear whether a wound under its belly was responsible for the whale's apparent malnourishment or whether the injury was caused by rubbing up against the rocks, Harry said. The whale was found north of Cold Storage Beach at about 3 p.m., he said.
Found partially submerged, the whale was estimated to be three to five tons and 20 to 25 feet long, he said.
Adult minke whales can grow to be about 10 tons normally, Harry said.
The whale was still alive at 8:30 p.m., but the tide had not receded enough for rescuers to reach the whale, Harry said. He said if the whale made it through the night, IFAW would assess the mammal's health and determine at first light whether euthanization would be necessary.
A week earlier a dead minke whale was found in Barnstable Harbor. That 15-footer was removed and taken to undergo a necropsy.
Another 26-foot, 8,700-pound minke died in June after it was found entangled in fishing gear off Provincetown.

text: I'm on a rooted S5 on Touchwiz running Xposed and a handful of modules. No vibration, including custom ones I can create, are close to loud enough for me to hear at work, which is a problem because at my job I get a lot of calls at random times from my boss. I have tried using Vibe, which actually allowed me to download a vibration loud enough to hear at work, but it replaces your SMS service's vibration notification, and it constantly puts itself into silent. I have not been able to find where the vibration is downloaded on my phone using Androzip or through my computer via USB, I am under the impression Vibe is not set up to allow you to export the ringtones you download. I am new to rooted phones, so I do not know my way around my system well enough to know if this is the case or not. I tried downloading a loud wav vibration file, but it is only available as a text notification sound, not a vibration. I do not want to have to go in and change my ringer and my notification tone and back every time I go to work, on lunch, and leave the building if I do not have to. Do any of you know how I can either edit my vibration setting to apply one of the ones I have already found, where I can download a very loud vibration tone my phone will actually recognize and let me apply, or if there is another app such as Vibe or an Xposed module that is actually working? I've been looking for almost a week now, I figured it was time to throw out all the details and ask. If anyone is able to help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it. What could be better than the appreciation of a guy with one post?

I'm with MILF, I have a pretty broad base of what I find acceptable places to go (BTW MILF's is outrageously unique, kudos) I was a bit put off with yours at first, figuring on the troll aspect as well.

now my all time favorite user name on BF is the person who came up with BananaTugger.....LMFAO! now THAT'S my kind of offensive
I'm pretty hard to offend, and I definitely don't bow to the altar of political correctness, but... I do think the name is in poor taste. It's a pretty violent image, and seems to make light of ending a life. (Note - I'm not trying to turn this in to a P & R debate, that's just my opinion.) The first time I saw the name, I checked the profile to see how many posts you had made. I was wondering if you were some newbie troll, soon to be banned.

Story behind using this handle is that the one I normally use was taken, so I had to choose another. Abortionpunch is a nickname I picked up playing an online game a while back for punching people rather than using weapons. Further developed by postulating how abortions were performed back in the day. It's completely unrelated to my views on anything, though it does make me smile at how ridiculous it is.

INT: Ricci/Eisenberg
With their extremely lucrative collaboration on the SCREAM films, it was thought by many to be a sure thing when director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson united again for CURSED (read JoBlo's review here). This sentiment was quickly proved wrong early in the shoot, when production problems arose and script issues became painfully apparent. Production was eventually halted completely as Williamson opted for a complete re-write of the problematic script. Craven eventually re-shot most of the film with a radically altered storyline and cast. Was it all worth it? We�ll find out on Monday when the box office numbers are in.
The CURSED �junket� last week consisted of one interview: stars Jesse Eisenberg and Christina Ricci. To their credit, they were pretty candid about the problems that CURSED faced. Here are some excerpts from their interview.
|Christina Ricci
|Jesse Eisenberg
was it like working with Wes Craven?
Christina Ricci (CR): He�s great. I mean, he�s Wes Craven. He�s incredibly experienced and this is like his thing and what he does best, and he�s just very laid back and smart and sarcastic and dry. He doesn�t let anything really upset him too much. We�re there to make a movie, but it�s going to be fun.
Jesse Eisenberg (JE): I think also because he�s been doing it so long and has such a command of the genre that everybody on the set has a great amount of respect for him and patience, not that he takes a long time, but there�s a general understanding that the outcome is going to be that much better, or there�s a general understanding that the outcome, there�s a confidence that what we were doing was worthwhile.
We know that Wes re-shot much of the film. How did the story change?
It changed quite a bit. We weren�t related in the original
version. We just both happened to be involved in this crash, and
then when we came back we were brother and sister, and Josh wasn�t
in the original one. He wasn�t. No, and there was no club that
anybody was opening.
No. There was a wax museum. They were able to keep some of the great
effects, but the story, I think, is improved, but I mean I think the
final product is now better, but I think they were able to keep some
of the great effects or some of the more expensive things that still
fit into the story.
the time, did you agree with the decision to re-shoot the movie?
CR: Well, we weren�t seeing dailies, and I think it was everyone who was watching the dailies that they were the ones who could see that it wasn�t really working. When you�re not seeing what�s actually on camera, sometimes it�s hard... I mean, the final product of any movie usually feels like a totally alien thing than what you�ve been shooting anyway, so we wouldn�t really be able to have that perspective or the objectivity to know that it wasn�t really going quite right.
did you begin shooting the film?
Oh a year, two years ago. Yeah, it will be two years this March.
difficult was it to maintain continuity for your performance when
there was a possibility that footage from both versions might be
Very little of it was kept, so there wasn�t really...
none of the original scenes were used for the final film?
There were some. And if the case was you�ve exited the door in a
scene that we shot five months ago and now it�s the scene that
happens right after you come through the door, then I would watch;
he would show us what we were following so we could
kind of get back into that.
Were there any collaborations with people that didn�t make it, or scenes you got right the first time that you were disappointed to lose?
Yeah, I mean, originally, when we first were shooting, Skeet Ulrich
was in the movie. And by the time they had reworked the script and
everything, he didn�t like the way his character had been changed.
And so he didn�t want to be involved anymore. And that was sort of
sad. He was a love interest of my character. He was involved in the
crash. It was the three of us involved in a crash, and then he and I
start�we become attracted to each other. But the way it was
rewritten, he just didn�t feel like there was enough to make him
really want to be in the second version.
I think the part that he was originally doing was eliminated
essentially. So I think the interest for him, whatever that was at
the time, may have not carried over to that new character.
scenes you thought you nailed the first time?
JE: No, I mean, I never feel that way, so I was kind of excited to get another shot at it.
All that stuff, all the school stuff, that�s in the first one,
Yeah, actually, I think a lot of the stuff that I did in the first
version, if anything was kind of retained. I think most of the stuff
I had done, because it was out of the context of the old story, so
yes, so there�s the stuff in the beginning.
The stuff on Hollywood Boulevard in the beginning I think was
there, and I think a more significant scene, the fight with the
golden retriever, that was also retained and I know that was
important to keep because it�s really exciting and also probably
an expensive venture.
they made you related, what layer did that add to the story?
JE: It kind of grounded it emotionally. The first story was about strangers who meet and have to join together and stuff � which seemed to work, because I read the script and really liked the first one � but I guess whoever�s decision it was to change it didn�t think it worked as well. But having a family as the focus of the movie, and the family suffered a loss. Our parents had been killed prior to the movie, so it certainly grounds it emotionally.
how long after Monster did you begin work on Cursed?
CR: Two weeks.
was it like moving from material that was more reality-based and
serious to a supernatural story like this one?
CR: Well, that�s one of the reasons that I took this movie, was that monster was so heavy and sort of an emotional journey. I mean, Monster was a great experience because I loved working with Charlize and I loved the director, Patty . But at the same time, when you�re working with material that is that dark, eventually you�re just going to feel a little bit heavy. So I literally landed in LA after filming that, coming back from Orlando, and my agent�s like �Okay, you need to go tomorrow to meet on the Wes Craven movie that you can do starting in two weeks if you want to.� I was like, �Yeah, that sounds good. Something lighter, like playing a normal person who�s running around and screaming. That sounds good, okay.�
the critical acclaim of Monster changed the scripts that
you�re getting offered?
Um, no, not really. I think it�s always a great thing to be in a
movie that was so good and that affected so many people. I think
that�s always a good thing. I
can�t say that it changed my career that much, but I�m happy to
have done it.
you tell us anything about The White Rose?
That�s a project that�s just still in the early stages of
development. It�s based on a graphic novel. It�s sort of a young
girl who�s taken under the wing of a cat burglar, and then she�s
raised to be a cat burglar and her signature is a white rose. And
then something goes wrong and then there�s a movie.
happening with Prozac Nation?
CR: Now, they�ve sold it to Starz On Demand.
has that experience been like for you?
It�s extremely disappointing. Extremely disappointing.
do you approach your roles?
CR: I think it really does depend on what you�re going to be playing, who you�re going to be playing. A lot of times, if a character has a lot of�if there�s a lot of technical truths that you need to learn, any kind of training, then you might start there. And that will sort of influence the character and you�ll see how that would change a personality. And then trying to just do whatever the director wants. If he likes to rehearse for three weeks, then that�s how you find it. I think for me it really depends.
about this movie?
CR: Nothing. I was hired literally two weeks before we started shooting. And we did a lot of fittings.
JE: Yeah, the nature of the movie is not necessarily performance driven. But that�s not to say that it detracts from the quality of the movie. It focuses on other things and we�re doing our jobs and do it as well as we are required to do it. But also, it�s a more whimsical movie. It�s not as heavy as a movie. It is in the sense that awful things are happening, but in terms of overall tone, it�s not taken as seriously as something like�
It�s not a drama.
are the differences between working on an indie film, like Rodger
Dodger, and a big budget one?
It�s different in almost every way in terms of the production of
it. This I think was schedule for 60 something days and that movie
(Roger Dodger) was 20 days and I just did a movie that was 23 days,
also similar. It took place in
Yeah, I had no respect at all.
Oh, really? But no, I didn�t realize the set is quieter in a more
emotional scene. I didn�t realize there would be a respect for it
because to me it just looks like a horror movie. It seems like they
wouldn�t take what I was doing as seriously. But I found it to be
the opposite, so it was nice.
what do you play in Squid and the Whale and when will we see it?
I think it�s coming out in October. I play�it�s about a family
going through a divorce in 1986 in
playing him and he�s watching your performance?
Yeah, I think it was more�well, I had auditioned for it like eight
times over the course of two years, so I felt that I had�I felt
comfortable being there. The people who played my parents were also
being scrutinized in kind of a different way, I think. And I think
for them, it was more being scrutinized by an outsider so it was
more of a biased approach. But for me, I felt pretty confident being
there. There was a
really time-consuming and rigorous rehearsal process because it was
such a personal story for the filmmaker.
did you meet the person you played in Monster?
CR: No, she wanted to have nothing to do with the movie. She had already sold her rights off to somebody else, so they changed�you know, my character�s name is changed. It�s not her real name. And we really had to make sure, I think Patty in writing the screenplay made sure that my character did not too clearly represent the girl that I was supposed to be representing.
what will we see you in next?
The next thing I�m in that�s coming out is a movie called I Love
Your Work with Giovanni Ribisi and Franke Potente that Adam
(Goldberg) wrote and directed. It�s
sort of a Faustian tale about this actor who wants to be famous so
badly and when he does get the life he thought he wanted, all of a
sudden, he realized he sold his soul to the devil really. So
I�m�he has flashbacks of his ex-girlfriends, the girl he sold
out to get where he is, the girl he betrayed and that�s me.
feel as if you sold your soul for success?
Oh yeah, long, long time ago.
Would you be interested in a Cursed sequel, or did the extensive re-shoots sour you?
We start on the sequel next week, so we don�t have a choice.
No, these kinds of movies are really fun to make. I think as an
actor sometimes you�re in the mood to be really serious and do
something really hard and thought-provoking. But then the other side
of it is, Oh, but I could just have a great time running around
doing action-y types of things and being chased by something. Or I
could do that in my spare time.

Pinball machine takes K'Nex construction toys to another level
Posted By Wayne Grayson On October 24, 2012 @ 2:49 pm In Construction Blog | No Comments
You might consider yourself a bit too old to play with construction toys like K'Nex and Legos, but both toys have done a lot over the years in getting kids interested in construction, architecture and engineering.
The creator of this monstrous pinball machine isn't a kid, as illustrated by the vast complexity of the pinball machine meets Rube Goldberg machine he's assembled. There aren't any bumpers or slides on the playing board of the machine, rather all of that fun is saved for the process of returning the ball after it leaves the board.
And if you feel like taking on such a task, the mastermind behind this contraption has even posted instructions on how to build it. [2]

You see, unlike many, I'm willing to believe that certain foreign leaders have told Kerry "we need to get Bush out of there." I don't think he's lying about that because appeasers everywhere, foreign and domestic, support Kerry.
When it comes to the War on Terror, among other related things, there are essentially two different perspectives. One is held by those who believe that international aggressors, whether they be communists or Al Qaeda, can be reasoned with, coddled, humored, or appeased. Or they aren't that great of a threat in the first place. The other perspective is held by those who have the common sense to know better.
Kerry is the same guy he was 30 years ago when he slandered American troops in Vietnam and said that America's cause against the murderous communists was not a noble one. He saw an ugly America then, he continued to see one through the intervening years when he consistently opposed our most critical weapons systems, and he sees one now.
Kerry is the current champion of those in this country who think the terror threat is overblown. If you doubt that, you haven't reviewed the exit polling data from the Democratic primaries. The War on Terror barely registers on their list of priorities.
But the War on Terror is of paramount importance. Some people in the United States recognize that and are determined to fight it; others don't and aren't. Some people in other nations recognize it and have the courage to follow America's lead in fighting it, and others don't. And no amount of sweet-talking diplomacy is going to change that. They are either with us or against us.
The cowardly reaction of Spanish voters in response to their 9-11 is a stern reminder that America someday might just have to stand alone in the War on Terror. President Bush realizes this and places his obligation of defending America above his desire that other countries like us, approve of our actions or are willing to join us in the effort. John Kerry has made clear that he doesn't get it any more than the Spanish voters.

The Hayward Fault runs through the center of the UC Berkeley campus, famously splitting the university's football stadium in half from end to end. It has, according to the 2008 Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, a thirty-one percent probability of rupturing in a magnitude 6.7 or greater earthquake within the next thirty years, making it the likeliest site for the next big California quake.
Nonetheless, for the majority of East Bay residents, the fault is out of sight and out of mind—for example, five out of six Californian homeowners have no earthquake insurance.
Meanwhile, three-quarters of a mile north of Memorial Stadium, and just a few hundred yards west of the fault trace, is the office of Ken Goldberg, Professor of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research at Berkeley.

In consolidation, Curt Viebranz is being replaced by Advertising.com President Lynda Clarizio as head of AOL's Platform A advertising unit.
Ex-Tacoda chief Curt Viebranz apparently has been pushed off the AOL platform. The head of AOL's new Platform A advertising unit since September, Viebranz is leaving the firm, but not on his own volition, according to a source familiar with the situation. He'll be replaced by Lynda Clarizio, president of AOL's giant ad network, Advertising.com, as part of a consolidation effort.
Platform A, a unit created late last year to integrate AOL's ad technology properties, includes the Advertising.com network and behavioral targeting firm Tacoda, acquired in July 2007. Clarizio will report to Ron Grant, AOL president and COO. When the new ad division launched, Clarizio reported to Viebranz, who also reported to Grant. Viebranz wasn't available for comment.
In addition to ad network powerhouse Advertising.com and Tacoda, Platform A brings together AOL properties including mobile ad network Third Screen Media, text ad network Quigo, and ad management firm AdTech.
Viebranz's departure from his short-term home comes almost exactly a month after his former colleague, Tacoda founder Dave Morgan, left AOL, where he'd been serving as EVP of global advertising strategy. A perennial entrepreneur, Morgan left on his own accord to ponder his next startup. Last month he told ClickZ News he planned to launch a new Web firm, and expected to stay in close contact with AOL, which he said could take an interest in his venture-to-be.
Kathy Kayse, former VP of marketing solutions for Platform A, has also left the AOL building. Last month the Time Warner vet left for a gig as EVP of digital media sales for Discovery Communications. She also reported to Viebranz. News of Kayse's resignation came soon after AOL owner Time Warner announced it will divide AOL into separate ISP and ad units.
The executive shifts at AOL reflect the disruption in the overall online ad industry. By collapsing its ad properties and streamlining its staff, AOL hopes to better compete with Google and what could become a much-stronger Yahoo, if Microsoft's bid for the company comes to fruition. To stave off the Microsoft grab, Time Warner is rumored to have discussed a possible merger of AOL and Yahoo.
Kate Kaye was Managing Editor at ClickZ News until October 2012. As a daily reporter and editor for the original news source, she covered beats including digital political campaigns and government regulation of the online ad industry. Kate is the author of Campaign '08: A Turning Point for Digital Media, the only book focused on the paid digital media efforts of the 2008 presidential campaigns. Kate created ClickZ's Politics & Advocacy section, and is the primary contributor to the one-of-a-kind section. She began reporting on the interactive ad industry in 1999 and has spoken at several events and in interviews for television, radio, print, and digital media outlets.
