- André,
Sorry about the typo in my final paragraph of the call...it *is* Jacks.
Jacks as in cards, I'm guessing -- so plural, not possessive.
Like "jacks or better to open" in poker.

Please accept my application to test the Jacks `R' Better Jeff's Gear
Hammock and Pack Cover. If selected I would prefer the larger size,
as my `stuff' takes up a fair bit of room (I'm not a small person).
I will be deciding on my color preference while waiting for the call
to close. I have read Chapter 5 of the BackpackGearTest Survival
Guide, version 1202, and will follow all requirements.
Tester Bio:
Name: Chuck Kime
Nickname: Fuzzy
Age: 39
Gender: Male
Height: 5' 8" (172 cm)
Weight: 229 lb (104 kg)
Email address: ckime AT nelsononline DOT com
City, State, Country: Upper Darby (Philadelphia suburb),
Pennsylvania, U.S.A.
Backpacking Background:
Found at end of application.
Backpacking Background applicable to this test:
I recently began hammocking (I bought a Hennessy Expedition Asym, and
have applied for the Crazy Creek LEX), and have discovered a need for
a place to keep my `stuff'. I also have a large pack (Z-Pack)
currently in need of a cover.
Field information:
Our Boy Scout troop camps monthly. Almost all of these outings
include a minimum of 2 nights of camping, with temperatures expected
to be from lows around 30 ºF (-1 ºC) to highs around 90 ºF (32 ºC)
during the 4-month test period. Elevations will range from sea level
to approximately 1,000' (305 m). Our new Scoutmaster has added
monthly hikes to our schedule as well, which may include up to 2
nights of camping. My fiancée and I, who between us have 3 First
Class boy scouts (ages 14, 14 and 15), are also looking into
additional camping without the scouts, and there are possibilities of
some AT section hikes in Pennsylvania with my son as he works towards
the Hiking Merit Badge.
Things I will be looking for:
· Ease/speed of set-up (as hammock). Can I set it up easily in
bad weather? When I'm tired? When it's dark out (I prefer to know
all of my gear by touch)? How long does it take?
· Ease/speed of set-up (as pack cover). Can I get it in place
easily? When it's dark out? How long does it take?
· Pack size/weight. Experience to date tells me that bulk is
more of a problem for me to pack than weight. I expect it to be
fairly tiny.
· Does it have everything I need for set-up? I see no mention
of anything besides tie-outs and a shock cord. Do I need separate
line(s) to hang it?
· Dimensions. Does it fit my pack? Readily? Does it fit my
· Durability. Are there any significant wear points,
especially over time? The spots where the pack contacts the cover
will be investigated, along with tie-out points, hems, etc.
· Waterproofness. Does it keep my pack dry?

Backpacking Background:
I started car/trailer camping with the family when I was about 5. I
enlisted in the Army Reserve during my first year of college and
spent 17 years fine-tuning my packing methodology - by the time I
separated from the service, I was down to what I thought was a
respectable 75-80 lb (34-36 kg) load. When my son started Cub
Scouts, I brought my 60 lb (27 kg) ALICE pack for a weekend. We got
to Boy Scouts in the Spring of 2002 and now camp monthly in locations
ranging from the Chesapeake Bay area (flat and lightly wooded), to
the Pocono Mountains (flat spots hard to find and very wooded), and
in all seasons.
Lightweight (and ultra-lightweight) web sites, advancing age,
arthritic knees and a car accident, along with a day hike up Pikes
Peak in July 2003, have led me to seriously rethink my gear choices,
experiment with tarps and hammocks, make some of my own gear, and
take a closer look at my `toys' with an eye for multi-use and light
weight. Our troop has now added monthly hikes, taking along as many
scouts as are willing, to a) get in shape (yeah, yeah, I know round
IS a shape), and b) determine what I really need to take along. I am
relatively confident that I will be able to reduce my 3-season pack,
now under 30 lb (13.6 kg), to 20 lb (9 kg), before food, fuel and
water, by the time this season is over.
Thank you for your consideration,
Chuck Kime

Taoiseach Meets with SureWash at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle
An Taoiseach (Head of the Government of Ireland), Enda Kenny T.D. visited the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, Washington on the 22nd of March to meet with the Enterprise Ireland technology company, SureWash.
Dublin-based SureWash have developed an interactive hand-hygiene training system with three core benefits – the ability to save money, time and lives – which the company now intends to leverage in the US market.
Since the signing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (more commonly known as "Obamacare"), the emphasis on cost-containment and reduction in the US healthcare environment cannot be underestimated. SureWash's technology has the ability to save money by reducing the labour needed to train and audit hand-hygiene compliance – the first core benefit of the technology. Secondly, the technology can also save the time associated with hand-hygiene training and compliance by providing e-learning to healthcare professionals on hospital wards at their convenience.
Significantly, SureWash's technology promotes effective hand-hygiene techniques which can lead to a reduction in hospital acquired infections and ultimately save lives. The importance of hand-hygiene in the US hospital environment should be underestimated – it is estimated that approximately 100,000 Americans die annually from hospital acquired infections with an associated cost for treating these infections of approximately $30 billion each year. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimate that 50% of these hospital acquired infections could be prevented by better hand-hygiene – validating the need for SureWash's technology in the US hospital environment.
The purpose of the Taoiseach's visit to the Pacific Science Center was to acknowledge the inclusion of the SureWash technology in a new health and wellness exhibition. The "WellbodyAcademy" is the first new permanent exhibition in the Pacific Science Center in more that a decade and was established to demonstrate good living practices in hygiene, nutrition, exercise and sleep.
The inclusion of SureWash's hand-hygiene training system in the new exhibition was supported by a group of clinical experts associated with the Pacific Science Center. Furthermore, each of the three SureWash hand-hygiene training systems on display were sponsored directly by the Seattle Children's Hospital – further validating the opportunity for SureWash's technology in the US healthcare environment.
Following a demonstration of the SureWash technology, the Taoiseach congratulated SureWash's Sales Director and Co-Founder, Sean Bay on their inclusion in the new exhibition and acknowledged SureWash as an example of an Irish technology company that had developed an innovative solution for a global problem. The Taoiseach made reference to the significant impact that SureWash's technology had made in the Mater Hospital in Dublin and wished the company success as they introduce the solution to the hospitals in the US.
From Dublin, SureWash has forged strong links with the Seattle area through the use of Microsoft licensed solutions and the Microsoft Kinect Camera in their interactive training system and the Pacific Science Center where their technology is on display is strongly supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Also in attendance at the event were a number of SureWash's key contacts in the Seattle area including representatives from Group Health Cooperative, Seattle Children's Hospital and the North West Kidney Centers.

BOSTON — The mood was a somber one for the Boston Celtics and it had little to do with their 95-92 loss to New Orleans.
Avery Bradley had a potential go-ahead shot into the lane that was off the mark, as was the potential tip-in that was ultimately hauled in by Anthony Davis.
New Orleans' Brian Roberts, who had not missed a free throw all season (he was 20-for-20), made another pair with 6.4 seconds to play that gave the Pelicans a 3-point lead.
After a Celtics time-out, Jared Sullinger launched a 3-pointer that was well off the mark.
The Pelicans grabbed the rebound as time expired.
Just 59 seconds into the fourth quarter, Pelicans forward Ryan Anderson went down after a collision with Boston's Gerald Wallace, resulting in Anderson falling to the floor from what team officials said was a cervical stinger.
Anderson, who had 13 points off the bench, was carted off on a stretcher to a nearby hospital for observation and more tests.
At the time of Anderson's injury, it was a one-point game.
And for the bulk of the game's final minutes, it remained a one-possession game with neither team showing the ability to pull away and take control.
Both teams seemed intent on getting the ball as often as possible in the hands of their bigs.
For the Celtics, that meant lots of feeds into the paint to Jared Sullinger. While he struggled most of the game making shots (, he was able to spend a good deal of time on the free throw line where he was a perfect 7-for-7 from the line.
He finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds for his seventh double-double this season.
And the Pelicans were being carried down the stretch by Anthony Davis, whose left-handed hook shot put New Orleans ahead 91-90 with 1:41 to play. He finished with 23 points and eight rebounds.
The first quarter was a relatively close contest, but the Pelicans closed it out with a 14-4 run to lead 22-17.
Sparking the Pelicans was Anthony Davis who is slowly but surely developing into one of the more dominant young bigs in the NBA.
Boston's bench has been coming up big of late, especially in the second quarter of games.
It didn't take them very long, about two minutes actually, before Boston's backups had the scored tied at 26 and briefly went ahead on two separate occasions.
But the Pelicans have a formidable second unit as well, led by Tyreke Evans who is a former league Rookie of the Year award winner.
He scored six of his 14 points off the bench in the second quarter which helped propel the Pelicans to a 49-43 halftime lead.
Pelicans clip Celtics, 95-92

While the U.S. economy's current ills have proven "that the people who run Citigroup, J.P.

Keeping up with the Joneses...
There are three ways I stay better than ya are: 1. I stay better; 2. make ya worse; 3. do both 1&2.
"There's no reason Europe or China should have the fastest trains, or the new factories that manufacture clean energy products."
I'm surprised at this statement. Why cannot ALL of Europe, China and the US have the new factories that manufacture clean energy products? (Is the statement the original?)
it it typical of an american say things like that. it is their way of thinking. but what make me feel funny is that why did not the chinese leaders go to kiss uncle sam's ass. china feel he is way too much more important than the actual position in the american's mind. maybe china do not have the comfidence. yeah, no wonder, A good man is seldom uneasy, an ill one never easy
It is quite urgent for the morden ecnomists to do research for ecnomic structure to nowadays. US need to improve with the time, innovation is needed and get close with other countries such as the emergings China, India... You can not ignore their marking energy, and respect each other to get the WIn-Win future.
look at the pictures of those China-reporting journalists, at right side. A surprise discovery is that all those female journalists covering China economy are surprisingly ugly! Can Dow Jones find some better-looking employees?
Why does China have to read so much into what President Obama said or did not say about China in his 2010 State of the Union speech ? The bottom line relationship between China and the US is going to be "balanced trade". All other topics of human rights, global warming, Dalai Lama, Taiwan, North Korea, military competition etc will be secondary. Obama's speech is a big turn around for a strongly inward looking speech. President Obama has come to the realization that the US economy and its long term health, creating US jobs are going to be his highest priority. Every thing else can take the back seat including China.
For China, why not focus on its own internal transformation from export oriented economy to expand its internal consumption ? The EU and the US both have severe unemployment problems creating political pressures for them internally to reject foreign imports and reject losing jobs to foreign competitors. China needs not apologize for being big, for being strong, for being able to produce attractive products at attractive prices for the rest of the world. But China does need to be sensitive to how its products are impacting their customers. Because ultimately when their customers can no longer afford to buy Chinese products, what is China going to do then ?
Why not China takes this opportunity to also focus inward and solve its internal massive transformation building up the economy and living standard in its interior provinces, its countryside and reduce the large wealth gap between the rich and poor ?
What Obama said is wrong. What Obama did is wrong .What Chinses Goverment did is wrong~!!!!
Goverment should not have a hand in economy. Gverment could support economy,but not manage the economy
Ok folks, here's how a press conference works: a member of the press askes a question, in this case, what is ths China's opinion on the speech and its reference to China, and the spokesman's response is, in diplomatic translation: "no comment right now". China will study the speech for US policy directions, especially those that has to do with China, but don't kid yourself if you think Beijing give a damn about what Obama thinks about them.
Year two of Obama's Audacity of Hype tour.
"There's no reason Europe or China should have the fastest trains, or the new factories that manufacture clean energy products."
Pres Obama.
Dear rookie, there's a serious reason why, its called the market. Playing against the market is always a bad idea in my book, but sure if you can pull something on the scale of the Apollo program for renewables and transportation you have a serious chance. The U.S seems to love that challenger slot.
Aside from any other considerations competition for becoming number one in renewables and energy efficient transportation systems is good for business, and good for the planet. And no, Mr Pres, Alas I am no tree hugger. Cordially, etc,
If China's anticorruption crusade is working so well in cleaning up the Communist party, why is Beijing worried that some think that the campaign is really just a struggle for political power?
A trio of recent repressive actions by the Chinese party-state illustrates how far Beijing is willing to go to snuff out dissent.
Many observers now wonder whether the recent hammering of China's stocks and currency will have political fallout for Communist Party leaders. Not likely, writes Russell Leigh Moses.
The economy may eclipse politics as a concern for Beijing in 2016, but in China the two are always closely intertwined. CRT analyst Russell Leigh Moses outlines three major political questions that will loom over China in the months to come.
The conviction -- and disbarment -- of prominent human rights lawyer Pu Zhiqiang sends a stern warning to other lawyers and to other citizens who speak out against Communist Party policy.

The singer insisted the cardiologist be hired as his full-time personal doctor while he prepared for his gruelling comeback tour.
Randy Phillips, president and CEO of concert promoter AEG Live, said it was "almost a contractual condition" that Jackson have Dr. Conrad Murray at his side in the United States and abroad.
Mr Phillips said Jackson "insisted" on Mr Murray's employment at a "substantial" but undisclosed fee despite being told by AEG officials that "some of the best doctors in the world are in London".
"He just said, 'Look, this whole business revolves around me. I'm a machine and we have to keep the machine well-oiled,' and you don't argue with the King of Pop," added Mr Phillips.
The Los Angeles County Coroner said no signs of foul play have been found but has ordered more tests, meaning the cause of Jackson's death will not be known for several weeks.
"There was no external trauma or foul play," said Harvey at a press conference outside the County Coroner's office in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. "We knew he was taking some prescription medication."
Tohme Tohme, a Jackson family spokesman, said Las Vegas-based Dr Murray had been the singer's personal doctor for about a year but Mr Phillips said he understood the relationship had been ongoing for about three years.
Los Angeles Police Department insisted the doctor has been co-operative and do not consider him a criminal suspect.
"We do not consider him to be uncooperative at this time," said Deputy Chief Charlie Beck. "We think that he will assist us in coming to the truth of the facts in this case."
He added officers had spoken to Dr Murray immediately after Jackson's death but now wanted to carry out "an extensive follow-up interview".
Reports in the US suggested Jackson had stopped breathing after taking an injection of the prescription drug Demerol, a commercial name for pethidine, which can cause cardiac arrest if too large a dose is given.
Police are treating Jackson's home as a potential crime scene, sealing off the room in which he collapsed.
A police spokesman said prescription drugs had been found inside the house.
A silver BMW was one of two vehicles towed away from Jackson's rented house on Friday.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department's Robbery and Homicide Unit, which is conducting the investigation, said: "The car belonged to Mr Jackson's personal physician.
"It was impounded as police have been unable to interview him and the car could contain medication or other evidence for the coroner."
A recording of the 911 emergency call released on Friday began with an unidentified man saying: "I need an ambulance as soon as possible... we have a gentleman here that needs help, he has stopped breathing. We're trying to pump him but he's not breathing."
The caller, who says the patient is 50 but does not name him, is asked whether anyone saw what happened.
"We have a personal doctor here," he replies. "The doctor is the only one who was here."
Police are anxious to take statements from everyone who was at Jackson's rented home in the exclusive Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles, which was once owned by Sir Sean Connery.
Reports have been circulating for years that Jackson was addicted to several prescription drugs, including Demerol and the anti-anxiety drug Xanax.
The Jackson family lawyer, Brian Oxman, compared Jackson's death to that of Anna Nicole Smith, the former Playboy model who was found dead two years ago at a hotel in Florida, with an overdose of prescription drugs blamed for her death.
Mr Oxman said: "I warned against this situation. I thought his problem was severe. I made reference to what happened to Anna Nicole Smith, but this exceeded it in severity.
"I warned everyone, and lo and behold, here we are. I don't know what caused his death. But I feared this day, and here we are."
Mr Oxman, who was at the UCLA hospital with the Jackson family, said Jackson first started taking pain medication after his hair caught fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial in the early 1980s.
The drugs became a regular part of his life, Mr Oxman said, when Jackson later fell off a stage and suffered a broken leg and a cracked vertebra.

How did you first hear about Common Sense Media?
Submitted by johnwilliams on
Jump to navigation
Parents need to know The Last of Us: Left Behind is a third-person action game with bloody and sensational violence. Combat involves humans driven mad by fungal spores attacking and biting the main character. It also includes a good deal of strong language, as well as a brief scene in which a couple of teen girls taste a bit of whisky. It's definitely not meant for younger players. That said, more mature teens and adults likely will appreciate and be moved by the authentic and emotional friendship between the game's two young heroines, who are desperately searching for some sense of youthful normalcy as the world collapses around them.
Ellie, the teen girl who traveled across a plague-ravaged United States with her companion Joel in 2013's outstanding The Last of Us, returns as the sole playable character in THE LAST OF US: LEFT BEHIND, a three-hour expansion available only via download. The story explores a skipped sequence from the original game in which Ellie gathers medical supplies and uses them to save Joel after he falls and gravely injures himself. Its real aim, however, is to use a series of extensive, playable flashbacks that revolve around Ellie's friendship with another girl to provide specifics concerning the events that led to Ellie joining up with Joel. The challenging combat returns, with several nail-biting sequences that see Ellie alternately hiding from and hunting both infected and uninfected humans. However, much of the game is free of fighting, focused instead on getting to the heart of the complex relationship between the two girls.
Much like the game upon which it expands, The Last of Us: Left Behind doesn't content itself with simply delivering nerve-racking life-and-death scenarios that will leave players forever wary of clicking sounds in the dark. It also challenges players with a moving narrative that will make players care about its characters on a very human level. As Ellie and her friend explore a long-abandoned mall, doing the sorts of things kids their age not living through a nightmarish apocalypse normally would -- ducking into a photo booth, heading into an arcade -- the tragedy of their situation becomes woefully clear and is all the more so once the depth of their relationship is revealed and put to the ultimate test. Few game characters, male or female, young or old, have ever been so beautifully or sadly realized.
At only three hours, Left Behind is preciously brief. Most players will be left wishing for another three hours, especially given the stirring conclusion. Take it as proof of developer Naughty Dog's understanding of and commitment to the old adage: Always leave the audience wanting more.
Families can talk about female characters in games. What about Ellie keeps her from becoming a stereotype? How does her appearance and personality differ from those of most game heroines?
Families also can discuss the impact of violence in media. How do you feel after playing a game with a lot of violence versus, say, a puzzle game? What purpose does violence serve in interactive entertainment?

Get Ready for Lift Off
While markets are debating whether the Fed will raise interest rates in September, a more challenging question is how will they implement that policy change. There is a new blog by Stephen Cecchetti and Kim Schoenholtz that cuts through the clutter and clearly lays out how the Federal Reserve will operate monetary policy once it lifts off from the zero lower bound. As they note, their paper draws on a valuable primer by Federal Reserve economists Ihrig, Meade, and Weinbach that was recently released on the topic. (For disclosure purposes, I am married to one of the authors of the Fed paper.) Both are well worth reading.

African-Americans More At-Risk for Feet Amputation
Researchers from Yale found that African-American patients with blood-flow issues in their feet were 78 percent more likely to have one of their feet amputated, compared to their white counterparts. Reasons for this disparity include lack of health insurance, lack of treatment options, higher rates of diabetes among Blacks and perhaps biological differences, says HealthDay News.

Patient Comments: Burning Mouth Syndrome - Causes
If known, what was the cause of your burning mouth syndrome?
Comment from: hollysue, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: October 08
My burning mouth syndrome (BMS) started years ago when they first came out with the plug in air fresheners. I bought and used them and eventually realized what was causing the problem. I have never used them again in my house but many people use them and the problem occurs occasionally now. My problem now is, I work in a store and all the air freshener products and scented dryer sheets and scented candles cause the same problem for me. It's a nightmare that has now gotten worse over the years and causes breathing problems too. I can't use most cleaning products and resort to using vinegar and baking soda for cleaning. I also have a metal taste in my mouth when this happens and it feels very dry.
Comment from: Pleasingtwogod, 55-64 Female (Caregiver) Published: July 23
My husband has rectal cancer..first stages..treatable praise God...but I woke up a few days ago and my tongue was on fire!!! I went to dr and they took blood test...which everything came back normal except they want me to take vitamin d 5000 units a day for 6 months. The dr also gave me a mouthwash that had Benadryl in it that I'm to take with one sip of water....it helped some...but can't take at work...put me to sleep...quick!!!
Comment from: Lucy B, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: July 16
Ever since I was a child, my mouth would burn if I ate too much sugar, usually candy. It can last for days. Sometimes I also get bumps on my tongue that also hurt. Once it starts to hurt, salt, vinegar, and any acidy foods will also burn until it clears up. I always thought I was just strange until I decided to look it up and saw how many people suffer from this. It never seemed to happen from sugary gum or chocolate candy.
Comment from: Nora, 65-74 Female (Caregiver) Published: June 12
My mother suffered with a burning tongue and mouth , she was eventually diagnosed with pernicious anaemia and primary biliary cirrhosis, not caused by alcohol! Zinc supplements were given plus strong vitamin B probably B12. She had a med called Ursofalk? For the cirrhosis problem but ended up with dementia. Anyway, try fizzy zinc supplement first it did seem to help cure it.

The 30-year-old assailant was killed by the police after injuring four people in the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli.22:38 12.02.16 | 0 comments
These designer "kiosk drugs" are a response to a self-defeating and archaic cannabis prohibition in Israel. Legalize cannabis for recreational and medical use.... regulate and tax it like alcohol... take it out of the criminals hands and reap the benefits of the added economic revenue. This is the ONLY real solution. The law needs to catch up with the reality of the situation or else there will be no real fundamental change. America is already moving in this direction... time to catch up Israel! LEGALIZE CANNABIS NOW!

The Destructive Culture of Dieting
Weight problems and food addictions have become a national epidemic. At any given time, twenty five million Americans are seriously dieting. Only 1 out of every 200 dieters lose their weight and keep it off for a year or more. Although there are more diet programs and weight loss products than any other time in history, recent studies show that roughly sixty percent of adult Americans are overweight and one third are obese. America's obsession and preoccupation with food and body image is often a precursor to the development of an eating disorder. Statistics show that thirty-five percent of normal dieters progress into an eating disorder. Approximately eight million people in America have an eating disorder and eighty-six percent started by age twenty.
When you diet, you set yourself up to overeat because you subconsciously rebel over restricting your food. You are discounting your appetite, your internal guidance system. You no longer eat when you are hungry or stop when you are full. You let the external source, the diet, determine when, what, and how much to eat. You may no longer know what it feels like to be hungry or full.
Due to the food restrictions of the diet, your metabolism slows down. Your body thinks it is experiencing a famine; it is in starvation alert mode and is trying to store every calorie. Then you "slip" or eat normally. Your body then stores as much fat as it can because it thinks there may be another famine just around the corner. The result is that you gain weight with a vengeance, faster than before dieting.

So Much
I haven't been here in a LONG time. Really, there's so much I could sit here and update you on. Instead of giving you a full update though, I am going to say SO much has gone on since I have been here. Some bad, some very good. Needless to say however I think it's time to close this chapter. I have decided that whatever I do, I will NEVER make everyone I know happy. The love of my life and I are making plans for our future. BIG plans! Plans that take time to solidify. Unfortunately while we want some of those plans to happen NOW, they can't. Not until we are SURE. Let's just say that moving across the country takes time, planning, etc.
I have decided that while I try my very best to keep everyone in my life happy, I can not. I need focus on my happiness. I know that if my parents heard this they would reel in disappointment. They want me home. WE want to be home. But, things happen for a reason. EVERYTHING! I just wish I could say "in due time" and they'd understand. But, they are my parents, and they just don't.
WE have decided that while we get all the rest of the "details" in order for our future, we will pursue our dreams on our down time. I'm still searching diligently for a job. D is working hard to provide for our home and save for our future. I'm about to begin a new business venture and D is about to start spending most of his free time in the kitchen collaborating all of his favorites and writing a cook book. He LOVES to cook and he wants to share his joy with others. Reality is it may never go any farther than our families and friends but so be it. It's his joy and if he can share with 30 or 30,000 it doesn't matter.
So, I think that this may be the very last post on this blog??? I might come back and link the few readers (if any) I still have to my business link once it's finally completed. To my family that I love so very much, I just want to say be patient. It's going to happen, and things will fall into place. It takes time, but it WILL happen. To the love of my life, I can't wait to begin this next journey with you! And to my friends, thank you. Thanks for being my sounding board, support, etc. I truly haven't been happier. Granted a job would be nice and would make things happen sooner, but this business venture should help.

Latest Happenings
A lot has happened since we've made the decision to begin a life in Iowa. I was so busy at work and with daily life that I hadn't been blogging or reading others blogs much at all. I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I had called off work last Wednesday because I had a HORRIFIC migraine and a nasty head cold. I went back in on Thursday and made my list of things that needed to be done byt he 10th of the month, I was going to HAVE to work on Saturday to get everything completed.
Friday I got to work and something just wasn't right. I was working so hard to get everything completed. Thankful for wach time I could check another task off my list. Then at about 2:15, my boss asked if I would come to her office. She pulled up a third chair and told me the president of the company would be joining us. I knew right then and there what was coming.
A couple months ago, she had approached me and told me that the partners thought I was cold and unapproachable. I was quite taken aback by this. I am not an admin so I don't have direct contact with them like the rest of the ladies in our office. But I've always been friendly to each of them. Then a former employee of ours brought to my attention that they were advertising an opening in my department. I found it odd but when I asked my boss she assured me that it wasn't MY position, she was entirely too busy and looking for an assistant. Her assistant was hired on August 30, just two weeks prior to my vacation. Just in time to train her on my job while I was gone.
So, on October 9, 2010, at 2:15pm, I was fired for the first time in my working life. I was shocked. Looking back I shouldn't have been, but I was. Their reasoning was that we (myself and the company) just weren't "compatible", and that she didn't feel that my heart was 100% in it. This November, would have marked my 4th anniversary with them. Odd that it took them nearly 4 years to decide we weren't compatible. I guess things happen for a reason. My mom asked if perhaps someone had caught wind that we were planning to move back to Iowa. That is definatley not the case because I hadn't told anyone anything about it. But, for whatever reason, I am now unemployed. I have quite a few appointments in the next couple weeks since my medical goes through the end of the month. I now have time to get everything taken care of.
I'm busting my butt looking for a job in Iowa, hoping that once we get there we will both have employment. I'm trying to be positive about things that are happening, but keeping your head up in this economy is not the easiest thing to do!

Our Trip Home
I'm extremely late on this post. Nearly a month ago D and I took a trip to Iowa. We weren't sure upon us leaving how the trip would play out. We were excited of the things that would be happening while we were there, a baby, a wedding, visiting old friends and family.
We packed our things and hit the road on a Friday evening at 9:30. We checked the fluids in the car and we were on our way. My brother called just as we were heading out of the gas station and asked us how we were doing. Initially we had planned on leaving at 4 right after I got off work. But with us, plans always change. I was tired as hell, I'd had 2 hours of sleep the night before, went to work and came home for a 45 minute nap. But, we were excited to get there so off we went. I started off driving and made it to Toledo before I had to stop for 5 Hour Energy. By the time we got into Indiana, D was fast asleep. I continued to drive through Chicago and even past, in total about 8 hours. I had stopped again for 5 Hour Energy but that final shot wasn't working. I woke D up to take the wheel. I slept about an hour before he woke me up. It was too rainy he needed help in navigating.
We finally arrived in Johnston, IA at about 8:30 am. We were exhausted but happy to have made it. We hit the pillows for a couple hours then I woke up to call my parents. I had asked if we could come out to see them. It's not a good idea is what I was told. We decided to take another nap. We were staying with my aunt and her soon to be husband. When we woke up my aunt told me that my mom had called and told her to let us know to come over. SHOCKED!
This is the moment that our trip became the greatest trip. We headed out to mom and dad's. My brother, his VERY pregnant wife, and her sister were also there. We visited with them for a while before they left then we sat and visited with my parents. Dad even taught D how to play cribbage. We went into my family's restaurant to see my cousin and then headed back to turn in for the evening.
Sunday was pretty low key, we went to watch my brother play softball. Monday we ventured back out to my parents to help with wedding decor for my aunts wedding. And for mom's FABULOUS beef and noodles. My brother and sister in law joined us for that as well. We visited again with the parents, then headed back into the restaurant to see some of my favorite regulars. It was great to see them!
Tuesday we ran errands with my aunt all day getting final details taken care of for the wedding. We had a blast, all three of us acting like little kids! Wednesday we did our own running, shopping for wedding attire, etc. Thursday we were headed out to see our niece and nephew in New Sharon and standing by the phone to hear of our new nieces arrival. We played with the kids for a bit then headed to dinner with them and their mom. We came back to their house for a visit with their dad who had just gotten off work and while we were sitting there my aunt called. Payton Jade was born at 8:29 pm and she weighed 7lbs. 10 oz. and was 20 inches long, with a full head of hair, healthy lungs and HUGE hands. This was the report they'd received from my brother.
Friday we went to see our new niece. She was beautiful as ever. We hung out at the hospital for a bit then we headed back to my aunts house to get ready for rehearsal, set-up and everything that was to come. WE got to rehearsal late because that is how we ALWAYS make our entrance! Once things were set up and ready to go we went to rehearsal dinner. There is where we sat with my aunt and uncle, their daughter (my closest cousin) and her boyfriend. D and her dude hit it off immediately. An hour into the dinner we decided the four of us would be hitting the bar after dinner. We went out and had a great time. We sat and talked. I got some one on one time with my cousin. It was like we'd never been away from each other, like we never took a year and a half off from even so much as speaking to one another! Once we were feeling WAY TOO GOOD, we went to decorate my aunts car. Of course the minute we pulled up she was coming out of the hotel for a smoke. We were busted! The wedding went as planned, it was a cold and rainy day but it was all beautiful. The reception was grand. D made friends with everyone, and all in all it was a great time. It was bittersweet though as we knew that our time at home was coming to a quick end.
Sunday we went to see our little Payton one last time and then we were on our way out of town. Our 12 hour drive was LONG, it always is. We talked about a lot of our future plans. And we decided that we are moving back to Iowa ASAP!

I will more than likely be posting this post on my new blog tomorrow, but I figured I needed to show this blog a bit of love for my fellow readers that may still be visiting me here.
Tomorrow, I will be running errands making final preparations, and last minute stops to get ready for our vacation. My dude has decided that he's taking me out of town for theholiday weekend! What a great guy! This is also part of my birthday gift! We had originally planned on heading to Iowa, but after the parents were none to happy with me when the were here, we've decided to make use of our time of and relax on the beach.
I am super excited! We will be canoeing, reading, playing games, playing putt putt and perhaps touring a couple lighthouses. I am sure my mom and dad will be upset at the fact that I had some time off and chose to go on a vacation with him rather than coming home. I will tell them that going home were our first intentions and when I asked them, and they told me it "probably isn't a good idea." I will remind them of this conversation. The only reason it's not a good idea is because they are afraid of what people will think. That's fine, I'm over trying to please everyone.

Opt for in-store pickup to avoid the $4.97 shipping charge. That's $2 under last week's mention of a shipped unit and the lowest price we've seen. (It's the best now by $5, outside of the deal below.) It features two heat settings, an adjustable thermostat, electronic touch controls, 7-hour shutoff timer, and overheat protection.
A close price: Best Buy via eBay offers it for $41.99 with free shipping.

It took a tragedy to make politicians realize what we've known all along: that underfunding maintenance of the nation's infrastructure can have serious—even deadly—consequences.
In the aftermath of the Aug. 1 collapse of the I-35W steel-truss bridge in Minnesota, politicians are finally getting the message. For decades, infrastructure managers have pointed to research, including reports from the Federal Highway Administration's National Bridge Inventory (NBI), as iron-clad evidence that action needs to be taken sooner rather than later, and that monies for bridge improvement and maintenance need to be increased.
Only after a collapse that has, as of press time, claimed eight lives have politicians sprung into action. Governors, senators, mayors, and other officials from coast to coast have called press conferences to respond to the situation. The flurry of activity in the weeks following the collapse included:
The bridge collapse scare may have occurred too late in the appropriations process for FY 2008, which begins Oct. 1, to motivate Congress to open up money from that particular well. Emergency funding is still a possibility. The bottom line: politicians may be headline grabbers with short memories, but in this case, an angry populace loudly clamoring for infrastructure improvements might not let them forget.

Fallout Vault Door Animation [SFM] by argodaemonWatch
©2014-2016 argodaemon
This is not from the Fallout game. This was all done in SFM. Added some bones to the static model found on the internets and synced it to some audio found here to insure timing was correct. Is to be used later for video stuffs.
The bones aren't perfect and being that there is no rig, it makes moving things a bit messy, but still very doable. The model itself I may make public once I am done with the use I have planned.
Unsure if the audio is synced well and may start to drift over repeated views or if focus is lost. Oh well.
Aaand then the Enclave mowed down everyone.
Can we get the models now? :3
reminds me of SCP
Setting adobe to low quality makes the picture with better quality.
What the bob saget is that about!?!
What the bob saget is that about!?!
Is there going to be a download?
I may, but not until it is used how I need it.
How does the door roll aside? There's no mechanism for it to physically move aside. Bad Design.
This is awesome it looks like an old pre render from the first games I love it A++++
Damn! Lookit that detail!
I am always impressed with your work, my friend.
You're very good Argodaemon. I look forward to seeing more of your stuff in the future!
where you got that props?
I am not at a PC to get a link, but it was only static. I added bones for animating to it myself.
Nice audio sync and animation, totally awesome!
Sweeet! Looks awesome.
Oh I think I know what you are about to do, but I won't say anything yet. I can still be proven wrong. ^^
But nice job rigging and animating it so far.
Figures you'd gif this. ONe question: why did you hide all the pony skelingtons behind the door?
Because there's only room for one Skellington in Nightmarenight town.
Because I didn't have the ground yet set out there, so many would have been floating. :3
holy fudge.... YOU CAN MAKE VIDEO GAMES!!!!
looks darn Amazing !
And then, nine months later, little baby Vault Doors were born.
Can't wait to see what you're planning with this
If only the actual animation was this smooth... that's right Bethesda, I'm lookin' at you...
At least they give us the tools to fix it like "Yeah it is broken, but you can vary much fix it."

Style and Comfort in a Victorian Mid-Wales Mansion
Mellington Hall Hotel • Welshpool, United Kingdom
Escape Kit
- Two-Night Stay for Two People in a Classic Double / Twin Room
- Daily Full English Breakfast
- Champagne Cream Tea on Second Afternoon
- Two-Course Dinner Each on First Evening
- Availability All Seven Days of The Week
The Welsh Marches mark the ancient border between England and Wales—but with this Escape to Mellington Hall Hotel, it'll be the line between work and play that you walk all over with a relaxing stay in Powys, Mid Wales.
Get a two-night stay for two people in a classic double or twin room for £179 (up to a £378.50 value). Once you cross the threshold into the impressive Victorian Gothic mansion, you'll be greeted with oak panelling and period details, and in your classic room you'll discover beautiful furniture, bold colours, and an en suite.
Hotfoot it down to the hotel's restaurants for a champagne cream tea on your second afternoon, and enjoy delectable scones with jam and cream, a pot of tea, and a glass of bubbly each. A full English breakfast is included on both mornings, and on the first evening, you'll also enjoy a two-course dinner each; sample the likes of Welsh lamb shank with goats cheese and tomato salsa tartlet, and roast lemon chicken with mushroom and sage sauce from the delectable menu.
Walk Offa's Dyke and the ancient border between England and Wales, or enjoy some retail therapy or lunch in one of Powys' pretty towns. Across the border into Shropshire, the attractive market towns of Ludlow or Shropshire are well worth a day visit; alternatively, you could simply stroll around the hotel's 28 acres of lush landscaped gardens.

Is he going to be a starter with the Blue Jays next year at 2B? I can't see them starting Izturis in front of him. Right? If so, what kind of season do you expect out of him hitting most likely after Reyes? 30+ sbs?
Re: Bonifacio
He should be the 2B assuming no injuries that push him somewhere else. 30 SB is a good projection. He hasn't been the healthiest player so not sure you can expect 150 games from him. His only real value is SB so a nice option as a backup but not someone I would want to rely on as your starter.

I'm limited on keepers for that particular round. We use MI also in this league and he'd be a pretty good fit there.
