I keep hearing the Sox mentioned as title contenders. What do you think about their chances in 2015?]]>
1. Get all the rain out of the area.
2. Get to the ballpark early
3. Get a win.
Honestly, I know some Sox fans are already looking for the panic button, but us longtime baseball watchers know it's a long long long long season. Two games out of 162. Don't fret yet. But it would be nice to get a win, that's for sure. Here's hoping the lads get one tonight and then kick some butt on Friday in the home opener.
See you there. We're in the upper deck on the third base side.]]>
But I digress.
Tickets for the home opener go on sale at 10 a.m. Feb. 27. I have my marching orders from my father, a 79-year-old White Sox fan to "get the best seats you can." I'll try to work the ticket magic, Dad, and get four good ones.
All I know is that Opening Day tickets go on sale Feb. 27. I have my marching orders. Me, bro-in-law, my Dad (79 years young) and my son all want to go.
Dad hasn't been to an Opening Day in a while, but he is pumped up about your 2015 Chicago White Sox. My son is a high school senior. He has school that day.
But I follow the lead of my folks who in my senior year - way back in 1978 - they let me skip school to see the battle of Sox, White vs. Red, at Comiskey Park. It was a bee-you-tee-full spring day with sun and temps in the 60s. Good times had by all. Hope that is the case on April 10 this year.]]>
I've gotta think the White Sox have what it takes to be a playoff team this season. Division champ or wildcard? What do you think?
Any other predictions, goals, hopes, etc?
2. Become a team to be reckoned with.
3. Play in October.
Hey, the first two are done already! Ready for October? I sure am. Happy New Year to all. May you find health, prosperity, and lots of wins on 35th Street.]]>
Pardon the language, please, but these White Sox are not my father's White Sox or even the White Sox of my formative years. Think about it. They went out and got a stud reliever and a very good starting pitcher last week. Days later, they bring in Cabrera. This franchise is serious about making a run at the World Series in 2015.
And, frankly, it's about time. When you play in a city the size of Chicago, your sports teams should be mentioned in the title hunt nearly ever year. Look at the United Center where the Blackhawks and Bulls may give us the rare double title run, not seen since 1992. Look at the North Side, where our friends who cheer the Cubs have noticed major improvement.
We won't talk about the Bears. As a season ticket holder since 1999, and someone who is going to see the Saints likely put 50 points on the board tonight, some topics are better left not discussed.
But the White Sox have fired up the Hot Stove Leauge in a big way this offseason. I know we're planning on attending Sox Fest in January. I wish the season could begin tomorrow. And, in many ways, it already has. Opening Day is going to be exciting. A certain high school senior is lobbying to cut classes to see his beloved White Sox that day. I remember my folks giving me the green light in 1978, the year after the South Side Hit Men tore up the AL. I think it's time for an encore.]]>
Your thoughts, as always, are much appreciated.]]>
With Abreu and Sale on the team, Mr. Hahn has some good lures when talking with free agents, doesn't he? "We've got probably the best left-hander in the American League, and we have the Rookie of the Year. Come join us."
Here's a cray thought: Call Lester out in Oakland. Tell him he stays in the AL for a sweet salary. Imagine Lester and Sale. What a 1-2 punch on the mound.]]>

There's no denying that The Last Of Us is a great game, the gripping tension that the single player game has in spades is perhaps taken up a notch when played on Survivor difficulty.
If you're going for the platinum you'll need to complete the game on both Survivor and Survivor+ difficulty. The former will of course be your toughest to achieve as you'll be taking on the toughest infected and human's from scratch with no previous upgrades to aid you.
For those wanting to know just why Survivor is the toughest difficulty, here's the differences it has from Normal:
- No Listen Mode
- Vastly reduced items
- Less Ammo
- Melee button prompts are gone
- You'll take more damage
I can't stress this point enough. Compared to normal, there is hardly a scrap going on Survivor difficulty. You'll need to scavenge the perimeter of every area you come across, working along the walls and combing every nook and cranny to find anything. You'll be extremely lucky to have two or three crafted items at once, so when you do end up using an item make it count. Don't waste a Molotov or bomb on one enemy, lure in a few at least. Once you use them, it might be another hour or so until you're able to craft one again.
Don't Use Health Packs
This suggestion might seem insane at first but let me explain. During this mode you'll be extremely limited on supplies, meaning that you can only craft so much at a time. Molotov's and Health Packs require the exact same items, so when your low on bullets, having a spare Molotov Cocktail in Joel's back pocket could save you from certain death.
Try to go through each section with just one health bar. In fact you'll often find that many times Ellie will hand over a health-pack without the need for you wasting necessary supplies. There's a plethora of small health upgrades scattered through the world of The Last Of Us as well that Joel will automatically add to his health bar.
After the end of a section always make sure you prepare yourself appropriately. Reload your weapons, check how many hits of your melee weapon you have left, is it worth crafting at this moment in time? Consider your options and always remember that during an encounter with either the infected or humans, you won't have any time to re-group should you run into trouble.
Upgrade Joel efficiently
When upgrading Joel on Survivor it's vital to go with fully upgrading your health bar first (which will cost 150 in total) before looking at other sections. After you're done taking health to maximum – which if you scavenge efficiently should be around the 8/9 hour mark – reducing your weapon sway would probably be the correct way to go.
Making sure your health is upgraded is vital as the beginning of the game is more close range combat. The latter sections have their fair share of long-range battles, so the combination of max health and reduced weapon sway works well when compared to some of the other upgrades available.
Reload your game when things aren't perfect
Many times you'll be able to scrape through sections with barley any life and after using a bunch of parts, but don't. If you feel you can redo a section in a more efficient way it will make your life easier down the road, especially when you approach some of the more troublesome spots. We're fortunate enough that The Last Of Us' save system is generous and usually will only see you backtracking for up to a minute so take advantage of it.
12 Responses
In regards to – Don't Use Health Packs – You will only receive health packs from your current 'side kick' if you DO NOT have the gear to craft one yourself. So instead craft Molotov's with your rags and alcohol. And even if you have the maximum of 3 and still somehow have more rags and alcohol, use a Molotov. Then make another. This way you will ALWAYS get given a free health kit, when your health is low.
Also, a huge tip that helped me on Survivor was the part where you are in the university and there is like 5 clickers and a bloater. You can effectively make it through that spot killing only one clicker and not even having to worry about the bloater. I highly recommend that you avoid the bloater here and go straight to the door and tap square like crazy and you will shut the door in the bloaters face. It saves you a lot of ammo/supplies doing this.
You can avoid all enemies in the Pitt Hotel. After getting the key card, then firing up the generator, find a place to hide for about 15-30 seconds and then sprint out towards the key card door. The Clickers and Bloaters will initially go to the generator. I got caught a lot because a runner would catch me, creating noise and attracting the Clickers and Bloaters
Honestly on Survivor difficulty I wouldn't bother. Given how scarce resources are and the fact that it breaks an entire shiv (not just 1 durability), I'd rather use a shiv to stealth kill 3 clickers or open a shiv door. Sure you could fully upgrade it but that is way too many pills unless you are playing new game+
An even better tip… check youtube for infinite shiv glitch. any time you pick up a modded melee weapon from the ground (except perhaps for the very first time) you get one free binding and scissor. Now, this will only work for the first slot. So if you're running low and you have 1 of each and no modded weapons and no shivs, save it to upgrade a melee weapon when there is more than one available on the ground. Craft one, swap it with another, then swap them again. As you pick back up the modded melee weapon, you'll be gifted with a free scissor and binding.
Another suggestion: when in doubt, shoot it out. When you run low on ammo the game literally gives you ammo. Some cases if you use your last bullet on an enemy the enemy will drop ammo for that weapon. Most of the time though when you run low the game will probably literally just give it to you (Through Tess or Ellie or whoever.) Don't be stingy with your bullets. The only real hard part in Survivor is stealthing. Other than that I think it is easier on Hard mode.

Make Him an Offer
News last week that the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission had settled its suit against the Minnesota Twins and Major League Baseball was greeted locally by a prolonged fireworks display and dancing in the streets.
Or maybe that was the Twins' 23-2 drubbing of the Cleveland Indians.
Or maybe that was just a dream.
It was one of those dreams where you wake up and can't tell whether you were dreaming: I dreamed the Twins' stadium issue was finally put to rest when Carl Pohlad sold the ball club to Hennepin County. Think of the irony: County commission chair Mike Opat, shut out of any potential deal last month when state legislators passed their stadium bill, gets his revenge by buying the team. I know what you're going to say. You're going to say: It would never happen. You're going to say: If Hennepin County ever had the guts to buy the Twins, Bud Selig and Major League Baseball would never let the deal go through.
I know you're going to say these things, because Opat said them when I told him about my dream.
"I think it's an interesting idea," Opat allowed. "The intriguing thing about your proposition is that it would eliminate a very big variable, which is: Who owns this team?
"But," he added, "I don't know if they'd sell it to us."
Neil deMause, a New York journalist who has devoted a lot of time to studying publicly financed stadiums, agrees: "Major League Baseball gets to decide who they sell their teams to. And they can very easily say, 'Sorry, we're just not going to do it.'
"But it's a fantastic idea," adds deMause, who, along with co-author Joanna Cagan, wrote Field of Schemes: How the Great Stadium Swindle Turns Public Money into Private Profit. "It is infinitely cheaper to buy a team and then either run it yourself or sell it to someone else who will then run it, than it is to build a new stadium. This is exactly why baseball doesn't want to allow it--that and the fact that their books would be open."
Now that's a dream.
Still, the idea of a publicly owned team isn't quite as far-fetched as it may sound. Several minor-league baseball teams are community-owned. (There's also the oft-cited example of the National Football League's Green Bay Packers.) DeMause points out that after former San Diego Padres owner Ray Kroc died, the widow of the McDonald's tycoon wanted to give the Padres to the City of San Diego as a gift, along with a trust to run the team and defray expenses. But Major League Baseball said no.
What about the economic viability of a team that's owned by the public?
"If the Twins aren't making some money, then Carl Pohlad's a lot dumber than I think," says deMause, citing the team's rock-bottom payroll (a reported $40.2 million--less than one-third of what the Yankees shell out). "If the county were to buy the Twins, then they would be faced with the same choice that Carl Pohlad faces: Try and win the World Series, compete with the Yankees, and lose money, or hope that you're going to catch lightning in a bottle with a bunch of young guys all at once before you have to pay them a lot of money."
Assuming you wanted to get out of the Metrodome, could you build yourself a new stadium and still come out ahead? Maybe.
"You look at building small," deMause says. For one thing, no retractable roof. "You look at [architect] Philip Bess's ideas; you look at existing parks like Wrigley. You might look at phased construction, where you start by building 30,000 seats and leave room to expand later on. You find a way to build as many luxury seats as you can fill, and no more. You try and work the luxury seating in a way that's not going to hurt your sale of the cheap seats to the regular public."
Could it be done? Could Hennepin County build itself a stadium and pay itself back?
"I think it's a definite maybe," says deMause. "But nobody will know until somebody does it." An experiment is under way in San Francisco, he notes, where Giants owner Peter McGowan built his own stadium with very little public financing: "We'll know more in 27 years, when Pac Bell Park is finished being paid off."
While we're waiting, Hennepin County's Opat ([email protected]; 612.348.7881) should consider making Pohlad an offer. At the very least, the Twins and Selig would have to respond. That in itself would be interesting. And who knows what might actually transpire?
"Owning a team is definitely better than owning a stadium," says deMause. "Because a stadium is just a lousy lease and a pile of debt. Whereas a team--a Major League Baseball franchise, even a terrible Major League Baseball franchise, is worth money, because there's only 30 of them. If you're looking to get back some equity for your investment, then that's an excellent idea. The only problem is that Major League Baseball, for exactly these reasons, is going to resist at every possible turn."

The calling hours were very well attended, the funeral was nice, and the Mass was beautiful. My husband gave a great eulogy at the end. The priest, as I said, was adorable. We had a wonderful luncheon after the Mass, then a party here last night to celebrate her and eat up all the food that has been sent to the house. I'm tired and getting ready to plan out my thank you notes (I'll have a lot to write) but husband and kids are driving back home tomorrow and I'll bere with dad for a few days. I had the best sleep last night that I've had in a long time.
It was an ordeal, but it's over (sort of)
Comments (9)
Peggy, glad to hear that it all went well. All that stuff is so exhausting. How are you holding up? And your dad? It was so hard for me to see my dad so sad and lonely. Glad you're getting some rest.
Sandy, mom to Caden, Cameron and Carlee
Peggy, I'm glad that you were pleased with how everything went with regards to your mother's service. You had quite a bit of time to prepare for this, but even so, I'm sure there will be a big let down for you in a few days. I hope that you will soon be able to find a "new normal". That's the term that I used in 2006 when my world seemed to come tumbling down. We did, indeed, find our new normal and I'm sure you will, too.
Peggy, I'm glad things went well. I've been thinking of you!! I hope the support and food continues for a bit. I'm sure things won't feel normal for some time.
Chris� -�
Peggy- I am so glad everything went as you had hoped. Help out your dad and then it's time to take care of you for a while.
Peggy mom to
Claire (8/04 with�47 Chromosomes) & Julia (12/07 with 46 Chromosomes) and 8 little angels
That's a good point about the new normal, you guys are right. I'm still in "get things done" mode. I also have to keep an eye, from afar, on my dad, so I'll be coming back every few weeks.
Gavin & Mikayla (8/04)
Austin & Ethan (9//06)
Peggy, I haven't been around a whole lot lately but I am sorry to hear about your mom. I am glad everything went well. Take care of yourself. I'll be thinking of you.
Eric 8.13.04, Ethan 3.7.07 & Emily 4.3.08
Peggy - I'm glad you have a few days to stay and settle your mind. Does your dad have a good support system? A morning coffee club?
I'm sure you are exhausted. Glad that things went smoothly and it sounds like you are doing pretty well. How are your kids doing? I hope that you take it easy for a while. Best wishes!

was having trouble w itunes v 126.96.36.199 playing much quieter than the rest of system volume...found it was due to a setting on itunes not any of this plugin stuff people are talking about
edit, preferences, playback, 'Bitrate for Audio Playback'
mine was initially set at the lowest setting (44.1khz) but when i put it all the way up to 192 the sound is consistent w rest of system volume
Pyckle, this makes no sense technically, and as Droolski pointed out, there is no iTunes Playback preference related to bitrate. (Although under the CD import settings, some formats allow for customization of the bitrate. For instance, I'm a video editor who uses 48k AIFF files for editing, so I set the preference to 48k if I'm importing an audio file for editing.)
Since this is the Mac support forum, I assume you're on a Mac. The controls for setting the playback bitrate is buried in the Audio Midi Setup app. This is strictly for A/D and D/A processing, and there is really nothing to be gained by using Audio Midi to upsample a 44.1 music file to 192k. It does not affect the volume -- unless the volume control is not set to the max in Audio Midi.
The places the volume can be set on a Mac: 1) the Sound control panel; 2) Audio Midi Setup; 3) iTunes itself via the volume control (or with "Sound Enhancer" and "Sound Check" processing in the Playback preferences); 4) in the file's metadata, via the "per track" volume adjustment.
Some people on this thread have reported that the track metadata got altered during the update so that the per-track volume was set too low. That's relatively easy to fix. The vast majority of people updating to iTunes 11 or 11.0.5 (5) have not experienced any issues with volume.

I followed your suggestion for my iMac 27" (late 2012) and did'nt get any results with improving the sound for iTunes 11. I reinstalled itunes and the problem went away. Now the sound is rich with treble as it was before. Thanks for your post though.

I suspect that the weird (and rare) corruption that causes this sound quality issue is due to a bad install. As with most big, bloated, complex software programs, a reinstall is often the solution. Glad the sound came back for you. I guess a reinstall should be the first (and hopefully last) step for anyone who experiences less than perfect sound quality with iTunes.

With the original upgrade to iTunes 11.0 the HDCD decoding circuit in my outboard DAC no longer is activated when playing Apple lossless songs. It had worked flawlessly for years. Previously, if I ripped an HDCD encoded CD to Apple lossessless it would faithfully stream a bit perfect copy to the Airport Express, as proven by the green HDCD ndicator light on the front of my Camelot DAC and of course the 6dB drop in level. The least significant bit in the 16 bit word contained the decoding information for the Pacific Microsonics chip to essentially get 24 bit resolution out of the remaining 15 bits. However, this requires the data to be completely unaltered. So, turning the volume down in iTunes using the on screen slider would kick off the HDCD because the data would be modified, I assumed dithered. However, with the upgrade to iTunes 11.0 nothing gets the HDCD circuit to kick in. Even ripping uncompressed AIFF from the HDCD won't work. The only explanation is that streaming went to non bit-perfect. Yet Apple has not documented this or explained why.
This week, with the upgrade to 11.1.2 the sound has again changed. This time I'm making a subjective evaluation. But immediately with the upgrade it seems signficantly louder, about 3dB or more, requiring me to use a volume knob position about 1 "hour" lower on my preamp. And it seems harsh, not just loud. Switching in Pure Music even on my more modest studio system out of my iMac I hear a much bigger difference than before. If anyone else has insights on the latest update of iTunes I'd like to know.

Very interesting. Can't fault your logic. Have you checked your Audio Midi output settings, just to make sure they are set to 16 bit, 44.1k? The settings can be changed within the Pure Music preferences, so it's possible something got altered that has nothing to do with iTunes per se. Dunno. That your HDCD decoding circuit won't kick in is definitley suspicious. (But it was impressive that you could actually stream bit perfect audio all the way through the Airport Express's decoding of Apple Lossless.)
Many months ago I compared iTunes 10 with 11 on my high-end system and thought they sounded identical, but I haven't done the comparison using 11.1.2. Too busy this week to chek it again, but I'll try to get around to it.

iTunes has always been great. Then I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.3 and upgraded to OS X Mavericks at the same time. That's when I noticed the sound quality had changed when playing my music. I then tested my other machines that got the same upgrades & the sound is bad there too. So it is not a hardware issue. It is also not corrupt mp3 files because the same files sound great when played through the Finder.
Funny thing is, on my macbook, iTunes 11.3.1 is installed but not the new OS X Mavericks, and the sound is perfect as it should be. This leads me to believe that either iTunes is incomatable with Mavericks, or vise versa.
Any thoughts out there?

I too could never tell a difference in subjective sound quality (HDCD issue aside) between 10.0 and 11.0, also on a high end system. It was this last dot upgrade to 11.1.3 that seemed, at least subjectively to go awry.
On the HDCD, I did do some preference digging when 11 first came out, but the settings in Audio Midi and elsewhere seemed to be set correctly to 16/44.1
I'm going to listen again and see if I still get that same bad impression with 11.1.3 or if it was just me that day.

I might have time to play with this tomorrow. I have iTunes 10 on my Mac Mini, iTunes 11.1.3 on my MacBook Pro (still running Mountain Lion), and Mavericks installed on an external bootable Firewire drive. The latter was created so I could test Mavericks with important software (like Final Cut Pro 7) before committing to an OS upgrade. I NEVER upgrade to a new OS until it has been updated at lease once -- better still three timesa. The first release always has a few bugs; the second release fixes those bugs and creates a new one; the third release is usually good to go. Also, most third-party app developers release lots of updates immediately following a new OS release. I want to get all those updates installed before moving to Mavericks.

I have SL with 9.0.2 and ML with 11.1.1 where I am ready to revert to 10.7 (the last great version), then Mvrx with 11.1.3 and there was a difference from 10.7 to 11. I have copies of support files all over and many partitions with several OS's running all different versions of everything, so I can move around a lot. My music is very important to me. The difference I noticed was 11.0-11.1.2 was just plain flatter than normal in AQ and abysmal in UI. If Apple is trying to hit the Windows 8 look, they are well on their way. 11.1.3 seems to be a bit richer in sound, still same DA IU. I wish that in their new DJ/Shuffle mode, when a song changes it would do a Command-L and follow the track in the grids. But with the new "stripped/dumbed" down path that they are on, I doubt we'll see the coolness that made iTunes . . . iTunes.
10.7 the best, 11.1.3 OK.

Any thoughts out there?
I was able to do my little tests this afternoon. I could not find a problem with either iTunes 11.1.3 or with Mavericks.
I tested 3 things: iTunes 10.7 on Mountain Lion; iTunes 11.1.3 on Mountain Lion; iTunes 11.1.3 on Mavericks. I listened through my high-end system (speakers were $4500 when new; electronics are all current products from Bel Canto -- DAC 2.5, S500 power amp and M-link asynchronous USB clock). I also used some $425 Cardas headphones as a double check. I'm listing this stuff not to brag about my system, but to simply to make it clear that I'm serious about sound quality.
I used uncorrelated pink noise to check that the volume was the same in all configurations, and I used some of my favorite reference tracks -- all AIFF files, some 16/44.1, but also 24/96 and 24/192. I also tested everything with Pure Music taking over from iTunes, and with iTunes alone, configured with the Audio Midi Setup. The Bel Canto M-link asynchronous clock uses the Mac's Core Audio, no drivers required, so in all cases this tested the Mac's audio output without a third-party driver in the middle, which could concievably create a conflict with the new OS.
With pink noise, I measured the volume from the speakers with a calibrated sound pressure meter. The volume was exactly the same in all configurations -- I didn't touch any volume controls in iTunes or on the Bel Canto. As far as sound quality, I could not hear a difference between iTunes 10.7, iTunes 11.1.3 and iTunes in Mavericks.
That is not to say that other people on the forum here aren't experiencing audible issues. I don't know. All I can say is that I can't duplicate it. Joseph's HDCD issue is interesting, but I don't have a Camelot DAC and I don't play HDCD files. Obviously his system might no longer be compatible with Mac hardware or software. I believe Microsoft acquired the technology some time ago and then discontinued support for it.

I believe that I have pinpointed the problem to the iTunes equalizer. It sounded great on my laptop because the equalizer was Flat or not used. I see that an update to iTunes 11.1.3 says it resolves in issue with the equalizer, but perhaps it was not fully resolved. For now, I will not use the iTunes equalizer. This solves my problem.
Thank you to Mark Block for taking time looking into this.

in response to Aufklaer
A few months ago I had to upgrade from iTunes 10 to 11 (avoided 12 cause I hate the interface) because I updated my iPhone from iOS 6 to 8 (I miss iOS 6, lol). Anyways, when I started to play music in iTunes 11, I immediately noticed a difference in sound quality. It bugged me a little, but it never bothered me as much until today after listening to a number of songs through my headphones and it just sounded bad. So, I went through the settings and I had sound enhancer on at maximum. I turned it completely off and it fixed the audio. My ears are much happier now.

Thing Info
Pure silliness--to merge with an iconic sculpture from the Art Institute of Chicago in a screw top head.
Head scanned with Kinect and ReconstructMe. Merged with Tom Burtonwood's Lion's head using Tinkercad with some finessing in MeshMixer to merge the hair with the mane. There are two overhangs that I should remove as they had problems in the print. Printed on a Rep 2.
This head attaches to Tom Burtonwood's Lion Body http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:34355. It's got my head inserted, why not merge your own?

A new report out this week from the Pew Hispanic Center confirms what many observers already suspected about the illegal immigrant population in the United States: It is made up increasingly of intact families and their American-born children. Nearly half of illegal immigrant households consist of two-parent families with children, and 73 percent of these children were born here and are therefore U.S. citizens.
The hard-line immigration restrictionists will, no doubt, find more cause for alarm in these numbers. But they should represent hope to the rest of us. One of the chief social problems afflicting this country is the breakdown in the traditional family. But among immigrants, the two-parent household is alive and well.
Only 21 percent of native households are made up of two parents living with their own children. Among legal immigrants, the percentage of such households jumps to 35 percent. But among the illegal population, 47 percent of households consist of a mother, a father and their children.
Age accounts for the major difference in household composition between the native and foreign-born populations: Immigrants, especially illegal immigrants, tend to be younger, while the native population includes large numbers of older Americans whose children have already left home. But out-of-wedlock births and divorce, which are more common among the native born -- especially blacks, but also Hispanics and whites -- also mean that even young native households with children are more likely to be headed by single women than immigrant households are.
But the greater concern for some opponents of immigration -- legal and illegal -- is the fear that these newcomers will never fully adapt, won't learn English, will remain poor and uneducated, and transform the United States into a replica of Mexico or some other Latin American country. The same fears led Americans of the mid-19th century to fear German and Irish immigrants, and in the early 20th century to fear Italians, Jews, Poles, and others from Eastern and Southern Europe.

Amazon said it sold four times as many Kindle devices on Black Friday as it did last year, and its Kindle Fire tablet was the best selling tablet on its website as well as at Target stores.
Though Apple's iPad dominates the tablet market, the Kindle Fire is considered one of its strongest rivals to enter the market. The Kindle Fire has a smaller screen and fewer apps than the iPad, but it's priced much lower and is expected to appeal to consumers on a budget who plan to use it for consuming content rather than as a partial laptop replacement.
Amazon also is competing with Barnes & Noble's new low-price Nook Tablet.
Amazon Kindle executive Dave Limp said the company is "seeing a lot of customers buying multiple Kindles–one for themselves and others as gifts. We expect this trend to continue on Cyber Monday and through the holiday shopping season."

I've been using Woocommerce for a long time. It's as they say, beautiful & the best solution for small businesses, period.
Woocommerce is resource hungry so get a good VPS hosting.
Support is on the whole very good, but turnaround time is sometimes slow, I've waited 5 days for a reply. There's no way to escalate an issue.
Woocommerce I think there would be a good demand for a paid premium version. Small businesses would love quicker responses & some help diagnostics with ongoing site configurations issues which generally lie outside your support remit.
But as I say, essential, Woocommerce are doing a great job.
It is nice shopping cart. Easily manageable from dashboard.
I need more to learn, but since i use woocommerce great, easy customize, easy to use and easy to integrate.
I'm setting up my first e-commerce shop for a client. I am, so far, really impressed. The selection of plugins available to site creators makes a large part of my job easier. I only gave 4 stars because the cost is somewhat incredible for the more powerful options.
If I wanted to offer the FULL WooCommerce to ALL of my clients, I'm looking at almost a thousand bucks... It would be MUCH nicer if there were a developer account that was in the $200-300 range that would allow the creation, population, and maintenance of a basic site with WooCommerce. So whereas this Plugin is amazing... it falls a little short.
I'm crossing my fingers tho...
Easy to use everything works well, great job woo
Great plug-in, really enjoying working with it until now, easy, great community and plug ins, flexible.
The unique reason I don't give a 5 start is regarding the Order Emails. One thing that I find essential for an eCommerce website is to be easy to send the tracking info to the client. In the "Completed Order" we should be able to add the website and the tracking code of each order, it's missing two fields that could be filled.
I've been in contact with a couple of plugins that let you customize emails, but none of that is still possible.
Is this something we can expect in any of the future WooCommerce updates?
Apart from this, great work!
I am use woocommerce and i like.2.3.6 have problem with premalinks i can't edit.Fix please
The latest update will prevent your storefront from loading if you have 'Page Transitions' set to load, I haven't bothered examining what causes it, but I just about ripped a site apart thinking it was something more complex.
I tell ya with every update I'm loosing years off my life, (not just woocommerce, all of em :)
just wanted to share for my fellow Gantry users.
Like anything "WordPress" there are a million dominoes all interdependent on each other, and counting on each other to remain balanced. Woocommerce is no exception, which makes it sometimes tricky and sometimes impossible to troubleshoot.
When it works... it works nicely... when it doesn't... it will cost you a weekend of time to figure out how to resolve your woes. That aspect alone ordinarily would drive a plugin like Woocommerce into the FAIL category. The reality is, however, that there aren't any comparable "platforms" to "plugin" to WordPress... Woocommerce has enabled a critical mass of extensions & has begun to tighten things up... a bit... I think... maybe...
...So cross your fingers, and pray for the best... I'll be on my knees next to you ;)
As a developer, I managed to completely customize it to my own or the client's demands. It can take some digging at first, but once you've familiarized yourself with it, it is a great, easy to use plugin with a ton of functionality.

Boaters' Grill
With this, it's a secret no longer. But truth be told, Boaters' Grill has developed a devoted following over the past few years. It is one of two concessions inside Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, both operated by the David Gonzalez family. First was the casual, open-air, Lighthouse Café, so named for its proximity to that Key Biscayne landmark. The similarly designed Boaters' Grill followed, and drew a more select crowd, mainly because of its location across the island, far from the beach crowds. It overlooks the tranquil No Name Harbor and offers views of Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami. But then tragedy struck: Lighthouse Café burned to the ground this past New Year's Eve. The Gonzalez family and state park officials responded by extending hours of operation for the surviving Grill. The restaurant also added tables, expanded its wine list (concentrating on Spanish, Italian, and Chilean labels), and created both a lunch and a dinner menu. Lunch or dinner, whether it's one of several paellas, lobster, ceviche, or whole fried fish, the preparation reflects the Latin flavor of the place -- and its kitchen, manned by chefs from Cuba, Peru, and the Dominican Republic. Today the Grill opens every day at 9:00 a.m. Closing hour Sunday through Wednesday is 9:00 p.m.; Thursday, Friday, and Saturday it stays open till 10:00 p.m. During daylight hours, diners must pay the park entrance fee, but after sunset there is no charge. So what's the secret? A beautiful setting, a casual and friendly atmosphere, and excellent fresh seafood at very reasonable prices. In fact Boaters' Grill easily could have taken the honors as Best Waterfront Dining, Best Outdoor Dining, or Best Seafood Restaurant. Instead we gave it an award that will be obsolete soon after you've read this.

I still can't believe it!! We have officially been "moved in" the new house for almost two weeks! There have been a few snags, but it is really feeling like home. Today, our mattresses arrived, we had internet installed (along with TV service - gasp), and Mom and I moved more "junk" from the basement of the old house to the basement of the new house. I literally walked out the back basement door with armloads of stuff and handed them to Mom through the window of the basement in the new house. Must. have. yard. sale.
So, tonight as I type this, I am on the internet AND watching TV....live - for the first time in almost three years. Brett will be so happy to watch college football this fall!

Zaib's Group
Zaib supports her family by doing sewing. She is very talented in her art and receives a good number of orders every month. Her income allows her to pay the education expenses of her children. She also trains girls in her area in sewing skills. She has been training girls for over 5 years.
She has applied for a loan from Kiva partner Asasah for her business. With the loan, she will buy another sewing machine that will help her train more girls and make more income. She is a regular loan user of Asasah and this is her 2nd loan application. In her previous loan year she proved herself a responsible client who always paid installments on time and never missed a single meeting.
Note: In the photo, the lady holding a book (called Asasah Passbook) in her hands is Zaib.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I don't get to find out gender until wednesday but people keep asking me if I have dreams about if the baby is a boy or girl. Apparently like 70% of gender dreams for pregnant girls is right. I FINALLY had one last night, I woke up kind of giggling.
It was that I had a girl and I was mad because I bought boy coloured EVERYTHING.
Oh and here's a little funny, hope this isn't offensive, but me and the dad are both the palest people on the planet (for real, I've tried to tan before and had to give up lol) and in the earlies of my pregnancy, I kept having dreams that the baby was black as night. My mom kept laughing at me lol
On a not so bright note, I've had a migraine all day and nothing seems to be getting rid of it. It's so bad its been making me nauseous.
Anyone know of some home remedies I could try? Tylonol and caffeine haven't done anything

Huge rambling place makes it difficult to find some things like the laundry to the newly arrived. Wall to wall people everywhere. Very friendly all partying and cooking food together. 1 internet computer. Very busy staff. They never had a chance to sit down, we had a private room in a wing that was locked 10 mins early which was annoying, doubly so when the door wouldn't then unlock. Room nice, TV, DVD , small separate bathroom. Lots of parking and access from several streets.

Very nice hostel rooms were clean with good shower. Having a tv in the room would have been nice but the communal lounge was good enough.

The double room/ensuite was very small and basic, inadequate for 1 large/1 small case. Shower curtain and door/window curtain were stained. Surfaces dusty but otherwise clean and bright. Unfortunately we encountered the worst shared kitchen here. It was very crowded at dinnertime but at breakfast it was beyond disgusting; dried on food covered the benches, table, cookers and sinks. Unwashed utensils were everywhere. It looked like there had been a food fight. Only soggy teatowels were left.

Coolant issue! Leaking from back of motor, top of transmission.
This leak has me stumped. It is leaking from what looks to be a capped fitting on top of the transmission. When I pour water into the overflow tank, it immediately leaks out of the capped spot on the transmission. I followed all hoses and none go to this spot. I had to take the intake off to find the leak, it looks like there is a metal cap on top which has dislodged enough to let water leak out, I can stick a screwdriver back in there and move the cap round and round on the fitting. It is about the size of the tip of a pinkie finger. Anybody know what that is and how to fix it?
Re: Coolant issue! Leaking from back of motor, top of transmission.
Nope, not the oil cooler. That is on top of the engine, this leak is from the top of the transmission area, behind the engine.
Have you put in a uv dye at all? If you haven't try that and get a uv flashlight, make sure the dye is dex-cool friendly. Not all dyes are.

Guys I need help with my 03 3.2v6... Ok the check engine light came on one day then all of sudden I started going through 50/50 coolant...there's always a little puddle from the overflow tank on the drivers side. Seems like when the ac is on... There no problem. Fans seem to be working. So today I swapped out the coolant temperature sensor and the crankshaft position sensor (another story)... Check engine Light went off but ac wasn't blowing cold air and when I parked and cut the ac off... Coolant boiled over again!! No obvious leaks from anywhere else. I'm going to change the radiator cap today to see if that helps! Any suggestions?? Sorry if this is a repeat.

Here's another one... also pertaining to the third legendary
Honestly, it would only make sense that they allude to biology. So this would mean that the Z legendary, which I had already linked to Nidhogg of Norse mythology, will also represent endodermal tissue. Here, Xerneas represents the neuron, Yvetzal represents the muscle, and Zxxxxx will represent endodermal tissue. All the more evidence pointing towards a serpent like third legendary.
Now I'm sure that the biology references will go even further than this. Some animals have a Z/W chromosomal pattern. This would allude to a fourth legendary (ie, like Arceus to round off the Sinnoh trio, Genesect to round off the Unova trio, or Deoxys to round off the Hoenn trio) representing this in some form. I'm not sure how this W legendary would represent another element of biology, or what form it would take (My bet is that it will be purple, and be kind of plant-like in form, to represent a branching W), but I have a feeling that it will be there. It probably won't get its own dedicated version, though.
So what are your thoughts so far? Is it actually possible that we can really deduce this much about the games as they have just been revealed?

Presented to City Council by City Manager Rashad M. Young on May 13, 2014.
Download Original Signed Memo
NOTE: Click on the headings below or the "online references" to view more detailed economic, revenue or expenditure data.
Updated economic tables are now posted online at the City's web site: alexandriava.gov/FinancialReports.
Year-to-Date Revenues: The City's revenues continue to fall short of budgeted levels. As of March 31, 2014, actual General Fund revenues totaled $390.5 million, which is approximately $11.9 million or 3.1 percent more than the report for the same period last year, but less than the budgeted increase. The increase is due to higher real property tax collections from real estate tax rate increases ($11.0 million) and personal property tax rate increases ($3.7 million) and a $2.8 million decline in all other sources of revenue. The City has set aside $1 million in fund balance to compensate for potential short-term revenue reductions related to sequestration. At this point in the fiscal year, we are likely to utilize the fund balance set aside. Staff is closely monitoring vacancies and other expenditures to keep expenditure levels below budgeted amounts. Current revenue estimates were taken into consideration when building the revenue estimates for the FY 2015 budget.Below is additional detail for revenues that are showing variance compared to last year's collections:
Year-to-Date Expenditures: As of March 31, 2014, actual General Fund expenditures totaled $429.1 million, an increase of $18.8 million, or approximately 4.6 percent, compared to expenditures for the same period last year. General Fund expenditures are budgeted to grow by 6.3 percent from the FY 2013 to the FY 2014 Approved Budget. Citywide, expenditures appear to be tracking below the budget. A few of the largest variances are explained below:

Brugler: Yeah, I think, Mark, that the trade was looking at the U.S. numbers fairly closely expecting a 12.4 billion bushel crop and knowing that the ethanol expansion is there and we're cutting back livestock use a little bit but there wasn't a lot of focus on the world estimates because USDA had not done them previous, this is the first go around for 2007. That number showed that we're actually expanding production tremendously, 60-70 million tons for this coming year but we're going to show a drawdown in corn stocks. We're actually expanding world consumption even faster than we're expanding the production and that's saying something because the stocks usage ration was already the tightest since 1973. So, I think this is a huge background factor for corn, it's got the potential to keep our exports running at a higher level than we would otherwise expect given the prices. And it makes it even more important that we have a big crop this year here in the U.S.
Pearson We've told everybody we need to get a big crop to keep this ethanol machine going. Talk about energy -- talk about this oil market where people are paying $3 for gas, they're saying gee, we've got more ethanol. What's going on in this whole sector of the commodity markets, this energy sector?
Brugler: Well, I think the crude oil story is fairly well documented. We've got pretty decent inventories here, EIA inventories but there is that ever present headline risk of a Nigerian problem or an Iranian problem or a Saudi problem so you're going to keep some risk premium in the crude oil. The bigger problem at the moment is the gasoline production. It seems like the refineries have had a series of outages due to either planned maintenance or little fires and explosions and things of that nature. That's keeping gasoline fairly tight at a time of year when consumer demand starts to go up in the summer driving season. That's good from an ethanol standpoint, it keeps the demand up, it keeps the price of the ethanol up, keeps profitability up for those ethanol plants. So, I don't see any major issues from the, in terms of threatening corn consumption or biodiesel for that matter but certainly at some point the consumer spends too much money on the fuel and energy needs for their house and their cars and so forth and historically that has tended to cut over the long hauls has tended to cut into meat demand or other discretionary spending.
Pearson Okay, so ethanol demand, we know, through August of next year anyway is going to grow dramatically, we talked about it on the show, ethanol demand outstripping exports or at least equaling them. That's a huge factor and a huge change and like you say oil prices as strong as they are it looks like the ethanol juggernaut is going to keep going so this is real demand going forward which means for '08, Alan, how many corn acres are we going to have shift in '08? What do you think is going to happen?
Brugler: Well, I think based on the supply and demand as we know it today you're going to need another five to six million acres next year of corn over and above the 88-90 million that we're getting this year. And that becomes a real question mark, where do we pull those from? Can we get them out of dry land? Can we get them out of wheat? It would be helpful if the wheat crop was a little extra large this year because that might lend us another million or two acres. That's certainly going to play into USDA's scenario which is that corn stocks stay below a billion bushels each year for the next ten years, they don't see how we can expand acreage enough given the ethanol demand to really build up stocks and have the type of situation where you have to have $2 prices to move it.
Pearson Alright, well we're going to find out before much longer but the market is going to start focusing on '08 here before we know it and that shift won't they?
Brugler: Yeah, the '08 futures prices are actually holding on very well. They haven't succumbed to the sell-offs like we had in the old crop here over the last six weeks. They basically said we know we've got a problem somewhere out here and we're just going to maintain the incentives.
Pearson Alright, well we'll see what happens, of course, in the 2007 growing season too, we don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves but something I think producers need to be keeping in mind. Alan Brugler, as usual some great insights. I want to thank you so much for being with us and from all of us here at Market to Market, I'm Mark Pearson. Have a great Mother's Day weekend.

Pioneer TS-A1304C
5-1/4" component speaker system
Item #: 130TSA1304
This item is no longer available.
Original Price: $109.99
Does it fit my car?
Select your car
You jump in your ride and turn on your favorite song — you're straining to hear the snare drum, but it's still just barely audible. And that dull, fuzzy-sounding bass guitar is just about breaking your heart. Pioneer TS-A Series speakers bring your music back into focus with precise reproduction of instruments and vocals, so all those details you love will really pop.
Pioneer's TS-A1304C component system includes 5-1/4" woofers with stiff carbon-graphite polypropylene cones that ensure clarity in your music's vocals and percussion. Highly elastic polymer surrounds help keep cone movement under control, for smooth, crisp midrange and tight bass. The separate soft dome tweeters deliver warm, dimensional treble, so you'll hear all the overtones that give your music ambiance.
The in-line crossovers direct the high frequencies to the tweeters and low frequencies to the woofers, so your music sounds natural, just as the artist intended. Aim the tweeters towards your ears to give your music a strong live image.
Product Highlights:
- component speaker system includes 2 woofers, 2 tweeters, and 2 woofer grilles
- 5-1/4" carbon-graphite polypropylene woofer cone with elastic polymer surround
- 3/4" polyester fiber dome tweeter
- power range: 2-35 watts RMS (300 watts peak power)
- frequency response: 28-29,000 Hz
- sensitivity: 89 dB
- woofer top-mount depth: 2-1/8"
- woofer grilles included
- warranty: 1 year
- Our 60-day money-back guarantee
Why install component speakers?
A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound.
Pioneer TS-A1304C Reviews
Average Customer Review:
Not the right size
I tried installing these speakers to my 1994 GMC Safari and according to crutchfield this should fit to the dash, little did I know is that the correct size is 6 3/4". I kept the tweeters in which performs really well and clear. I mostly listen to Metallica and other rock bands in which sound more clear and can hear the drums, guitars, and vocals better but no bass.
Pros: Clear performance
Cons: Can't get much bass
Excellent speakers 2000 toyota 4Runner 4WD
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
these speakers sound superb with my AVH-P8400BH pioneer receiver they were very easy to install work great with the speaker baffels and there nothing else i can say other then that
Pros: easy to install superb base
Cons: nothing i can think of
Amazing Sound!
1995 Nissan Altima
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
When i bought these speakers i thought they would sound pretty good but once i got them in and listened to them i was blown away absolutely love them. im gonna tell my friends to get them.
Pros: Sounds better than anything
Cons: nothing
Great Speakers!
2000 Dodge Durango
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
The speakers themselves sound very good, especially considering they're relatively cheap. If you're looking for quality sound with a fair amount of bass kick, I would recommend these speakers.
Pros: Sound great. Relatively inexpensive.
This the only way to go !
2005 Ford F-150
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Installed in the front doors of an 2005 F 150 Super Crew. The fit was as if factory and took 40 minutes. The sound is much clearer than the orginal speaker and saved me money over fabricating my own system.
Pros: Clean factory like install
Cons: None
Pioneer ROCKS
2004 Toyota 4Runner
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I replaced the rear factory door speakers in a 2004 4Runner. I had to cut in the tweeters which was very easy. The sound quality is great. I really like having tweeters in the front and back seats. Of course a new Pioneer stereo did not hurt either. Door removal instructions provided by Crutchfield saves a lot of guess work.
Pioneer TS-A130AC
2004 Toyota Corolla
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I got these speakers for my 2004 Toyota Corolla to replace the OEM set.
All I can say is that these are sooooo much better. I can actually hear that I have tweeters now (the OEM set had twitters too but could never hear them work).
I also have a Kicker sub which compliments these speakers very nicely.
not for all cars
2002 Honda Civic EX
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
good speakers but if you want the tweeter you will need to cut and solder on the wiring harness to the factory plug
Great if you're looking for clarity!
I bought this item to replace my stock speakers on a 2006 Nissan Altima, Not bad at all. The sound is crisper and more clear. I have them connected directly to my Pioneer Deck, but it can use a little bit more boost. I would Recommend to wire them to a small amp. The only reason I didn't rate these speakers a perfect five is because the mid's and the bass are not the best feature for this product. If you want the whole package sound I would highly recommend to spend a few more bucks for your bang. But if clarity is all you're looking for this are the speakers your wanna buy....
Pioneer TS-A1304C
2000 Jeep Cherokee
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I got those speakers for my 2001 jeep Cherokee, direct fit vs, the original 5.25''. Amazing sound definition and mid bass response, I ran them on the standard factory infinity amp with a sony 690 UI head unit and infinity reference 5.25'' for the back.
I recommend using the baffles but cut their base so they are basically a tube, improves sound quality a lot for the front door.
Excellent wiring harness and adapters from Crutchfield.

Left Behind: Tribulation Force
- Written by Tim LaHaye
===About the Book=== In a series of events that followed the Rapture, in which Jesus Christ takes away members of his church from Earth, some find themselves left behind. Eventually they meet at New Hope Village Church, located in the suburbs of Chicago. They then meet from time to time and become immersed in study of prophecies contained in the Bible. Their study reveals that the Antichrist will establish control of the Earth, and the Tribulation period lasting seven years will start after his covenant with Israel. Jesus Christ's second coming will fall on the end of the Tribulation.

That said, there are methods of detecting perk overhauls, so maybe adding detection for the major ones could solve this issue. That would allow them to take all perks in crafting created by the overhauls, but it would have to be updated every time they update the perk IDs. A big pain to do, so it would probably need a team or one very dedicated modder. I don't expect that to happen, this mod just doesn't have the interest to acquire a team, but you never know.

In response to post #11466181. #11478051, #12574895, #12584915, #12781123 are all replies on the same post.Like i said, not possible atm.
In version 1 of the mod, followers would only get perks if they had them in the CK, but that meant only followers specifically made for the mod where any good and changes to a follower you allready met required a new game. Thats why i changed that to the way it is now.
