The CGE Pro 1100 HD (model 11093) combines Celestron's state of the art CGE Pro Computerized Equatorial mount with its new EdgeHD optical system. With an optical tube assembly weighing only 28 lbs, this telescope is still portable enough to be taken to dark skies, and has 89% more light gathering power than an 8" telescope and 40% more than the 9.25". For astrophotography, the German Equatorial mount offers easier balancing, unlimited space at the rear of the telescope tube to mount a camera, and whole sky access. Now you can enjoy all of the NexStar software and database features with the extra stability and portability of a German Equatorial mount.
New Optical Design
The EdgeHD optical system takes all of the compact power popularized by the Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope (SCT) and combines it with an improved high definition optical system for wide field, astrograph quality images.
As a visual instrument, EdgeHD optics deliver pinpoint images even with your widest field eyepiece. You can search for all of the Messier Catalog objects, and see hundreds of other equally interesting NGC, IC and Caldwell objects with amazing clarity. For astroimaging, the EdgeHD optics produce aberration-free images across your favorite CCD or DSLR camera. All EdgeHD optics are designed to produce an extremely flat focal plane precise enough to match the strict tolerances of the largest commercial CCD detectors, allowing all stars to be in tight focus to the very edge of the chip.
Diffraction Limited
Some companies boast that their telescopes give diffraction limited stars in the very center of the field of view. EdgeHD optics not only produce diffraction limited stars on axis, but maintain diffraction limited stars across the entire field of view of many of the most popular astrophotography cameras. Even at the very edge of a full frame camera chip, the EdgeHD 11" delivers stars of less than 2 arc seconds.
The EdgeHD 11" optics produce a focal plane three-times flatter than the standard equivalent SCT telescope with diffraction limited stars beyond the entire SBIG STL4020CM field of view!
Along with the newly designed optics, the EdgeHD also has re-designed mechanics guaranteed to help you get the maximum performance from your instrument.
Features Include:
Mirror Locks – To hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift during imaging.
Tube Vents - Each vent has an integrated 60 micron micro-mesh filter allowing hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror.
Fastar Versatility – All EdgeHD optical tubes are equipped with a removable secondary mirror for fast f/2 CCD imaging. Not only does imaging in the FASTAR configuration allow for exposure times that are 25 times faster than at f/10, but also yields a field of view five times wider. A perfect combination for imaging your favorite wide field objects in a fraction of the time. (FASTAR imaging requires a third party lens assembly in place of the secondary mirror).
Axiom Eyepiece - EdgeHD 11" optical tubes come with Celestron's top of the line Axiom eyepiece. With a 23 mm focal length and 82° AFOV, you get an incredible combination of power and wide field of view. Plus each Axiom eyepiece is optimized to deliver pinpoint images when used with a flat field telescope.
CGE PRO Mount
In addition to being fully computerized with a database of over 40,000 celestial objects, the CGE Pro German Equatorial mount has been completely redesigned to offer numerous design advantages:

Bud Light Peanut Brittle...
by Heather's Thingies
posted Oct 17 2011 12:01AM
Here's a tasty treat that Rocks anytime.. tailgating...game time... holidays... a snack. The Bud Light just kicks it up a yummy notch!!
It was my 1st time making Peanut Brittle. Ted used to make it with his Grandfather when he was young, so between the 2 of us, we got our ' Peanut Brittle' candy making on...
Bud Light Peanut Brittle
-1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
-1 teaspoon Bud Light
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-1 1/2 cups of sugar-1/2 cup of water & 1/2 cup of Bud Light
-1 cup of light corn syrup
-3 Tablespoons of butter /margarine
-2 cups (16 0z ) peanute
the norm is the Spanish peanuts, but honey roasted rocks for a sweeter taste.
*Candy thermometer
- This is really important to have. Ted went all over ATX looking for one.
Finally found one at Bed Bath & Beyond! He said he should have gone there first.
Making the Bud Light Peanut Brittle:
-Heat oven to 200 degrees. Grease w/spray pam 2 cookie sheets. Put the cookie sheets in the oven to keep warm. This is important so the sticky candy will spread about 1/4 inch thick without setting up right away.
-Mix baking soda, 1 tsp of Bud Light and the vanilla and set it aside. Mix sugar, 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of Bud Light and the corn syrup in a 3 -quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, once the candy thermometer reaches around 240 degrees it should be ready. Test it by dropping a small amount of the mixture into VERY COLD water. It should form a ball in the water and go flat when it's taken out. Then it's ready.
(The Bud Light seems to cause the mixture to boil over easier, than if you were using all water. So make sure you keep an eye out it. Stir and lift the pan up a bit if it's looking like an eruption is going to happen. Be patient, it will turn into what you want! )
-Stir in butter/margarine and peanuts. Cook, about 13-15 minutes, stirring constantly. Once the candy thermometer reaches around 300 degrees it should be ready. Test it by dropping a small amount of the mixture into VERY COLD water. It should separate into hard, brittle threads. Watch carefully so this doesn't burn. Once it's ready immediately take it off the heat. Quickly stir in the baking soda mixture until light and foamy.
(The stirring stage to 300 with the peanuts will give your arm a work out. It will be thicker as you get closer to the 300 temp. Don't stop stirring. You can tag team the stirring like Ted & I did)
-Pour 1/2 of the candy mixture onto each warm cookie sheet and quickly spread about 1/4 inch thick with buttered spatula. Let them cool completely for about an hour. Then break into pieces and eat. Make sure you store in an airtight container, so it keeps a bit.
Ted was skeptical when we started, but the end result he enjoyed.. IT ROCKED in taste, crunch and chew! Bud Light creates another winner! Great for a football parties, holiday parties or just a snack cause you deserve it!
Enjoy your Bud Light Peanut Brittle. Sure sign of a YUMMY GOOD TIME. Here we go!!
Bud Light Peanut Brittle Round 1-4 check them out..
*Can't believe I'm saying this but, I'm a Bud Light Believer now! That peanut brittle was really very good! Thanks for sharing!-
Co-bud Joe
*I tasted the stuff
(Bud Light Peanut Brittle is THE STUFF)
you made and it was awesome!-

Mini Muffin Tin Lunch
My kids are sick of soup and Mini Saurus won't eat Mac and Cheese (I know! What's up with that?) I needed to find an easy lunch time meal solution that made the girls happy and works for mama too.
Solution: Mini Muffin Pan lunches.
I've seen these on several other blog sites and I had to see what all of the fuss was about. Well ladies, I am converted. The girls loved eating their "poo-poo platters" as the Frog Princess calls them out of the mini muffin tins. They fit beautifully in my dishwasher for easy clean up.
I can fill the cups with bits of leftovers from the fridge to make a fairly balanced meal (and yes, organic cheese puffs are part of the dairy group!) The girls happily munch their way through leftover green beans, leftover corn, diced grapes/raisins, turkey pepperoni, white american cheese, and a little something sweet (like mini marshmallows, jelly beans, chocolate chips, etc.)
So simple but so fun. This would be fantastic for our family movie night when we all eat dinner in the family room and watch a dvd. We might manage to spill less for the ants.

This page collects resources and techniques for testing a CHDK build or port. See also Debugging
this is a work in progress, please expand!
General guidelines
The CHDK User Manual gives an good overview of many features. Working through this list and verifying that your port matches the documented behavior.
Note that many CHDK features are poorly documented or poorly defined. When in doubt, consult the source.
Testing overrides
When testing overrides from script or the override menu, it is important to know Canon firmware displays and EXIF information may not reflect the actual value used. The functionality of the override should be determined from the image.
Testing RAW/DNG
Verify DNGs validate with Adobe's DNG validator. dng_validate is included with the DNG SDK http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/dng/dng_sdk.html
Take a series of shots and verify that each DNG contains the correct image data, to ensure raw buffers are all identified correctly.
Viewport buffers
To verify that the "viewport" is identified correctly, you can use the zebra, edge overlay and PTP live view functions
Zebra test
- Aim the camera at a bright light. The over exposed indicator should match the light, regardless of where the light appears on the screen.
- If it is offset, the viewport dimensions are probably wrong.
- If the zebra has no obvious relationship to the scene, the viewport address is probably wrong.
Testing with scripts
There are some scripts which exercise various CHDK capabilities
Tests the lua standard libraries. This also exercises many C library functions.
- Download: [1] (also included in "full" install)
- Documentation: Lua#Lua_library_test
Test procedure
- run the script, with all of the 'skip' options set to zero.
- If all test succeeded, it will print "end ... OK" for each item.
- If any tests failed, examine A/llibtst.log
Tests the capture mode switching functions and mode map.
- Download: [2] (also included in "full" install)
- Documentation: Lua/Scripts:Standard/Test/Setmode
Test procedure
- start the camera in play mode
- run the script with all options set to zero
- the camera should switch to record, and switch rapidly between each known shooting mode
- If everything was OK, it will print pass
- If something failed, examine A/setmode.log
General purpose ubasic test.
- Download: ubtest.bas (also included in "full" install)
- Documentation: http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=6592.0
Test procedure
- Start the camera in play mode
- Start the script with interactive = 1 and sleep between tests = 5
- The message "key test - set to end" will appear
- If you press up/down/left/right/menu/erase the corresponding key name should be printed.
- Press set to go to the next test
- The canon menu should open and selection change a couple times
- The camera will switch to record mode, and switch to P mode
- The camera will take shots as follows:
- auto exposure, using get_shooting, press shoot_half, press shoot_full etc
- auto exposure + or - 2 stops Tv, using shoot
- auto exposure + or - 2 stops Sv, using shoot
- If ND filter is present, one shot each with ND forced in and out, using shoot
- If no failures were identified, prints "ok", otherwise failed.
- Output is logged to CHDK/LOGS/LOG_0001.TXT. The log will indicate whether the shots above were + or -, with the corresponding exposure number. Compare the jpegs to ensure the images show the expected variation in exposure.
Tests the reaction speed of motion detection. This can be used find the optimal implementation of vid_get_viewport_live_fb()
- Download: MD_Tune.bas (also included in "full" install)
- Documentation http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=9366.msg96633#msg96633
- Live view buffers functions return pointers to valid data (see other frame viewport buffers above)
- CAM_AF_LED is defined as camera_set_led identifier for AF in platform_camera.h
- camera_set_led is implemented and supports trigger AF
Test procedure
- Put the camera in record mode, aimed at a nearby subject in an environment dark enough for the AF led to show up well
- Run the script
- Check that MD is triggering reliably when the AF blinks and note the min/max/and average values.
- If alternative implementations of vid_get_viewport_live_fb are available (i.e. using active_viewport_buffer as the current, next or previous frame), try each one and use the one that gives the best results.
Note - statistics are cleared only on reboot.

This project has gone non-public. I'm really tired of the braindead comments about optional HD
models. Shall all the whiners create something better. CM has become a just-for-fun project again.
Imagine, a Hollywood producer got his hands on the game. The result would be similar to what the Cinematic Mod is: a graphics blockbuster, redesigned to the typical game to movie adaption with an orchestral soundtrack and beautiful people everywhere.
A graphical / music total conversion of the Half-Life 2 storyline. You need Half-Life 2 + EP1 + EP2 and a 64Bit windows system to play this modification. (Mac OSX supported soon)
PURPOSE (Version 10.42)
- Unified Engine; play the game (HL2 / EP1 / EP2) with the latest Orangebox engine / Advanced HDR / new shadow effects
- Enhance the old HL2 maps with HDR, blooming, color-correction, new props, dynamic shadows
- Eliminate the visible world-skybox transitions in the maps. Cinematic Mod maps are looking much bigger than they are.
- Eliminate all blurry / Lowres textures with new Highres textures and/or Hires-Detail-Overlays
- Give the HL2 trilogy a more stressed, darker and uncomfortable look
- Enhance the soundtrack with a semi-dynamic new hollywood-style music
- Add optional HD characters (mostly based on the ultra-detailed Poser Pro mechs)
- Add ironsight
- Add dynamic shadow simulation with the help of env_projected_textures
- Add more replay-value and a fresh new style
- ALL features are optional and selectable with an comfortable configuration-tool.
Gun and some spite effects from TheVMan's Ultra Effects Pack
Here is the last version of the Cinematic Mod created by Fakefactory. It will be the last one.
CM 2013 Final
- Map fixes
- Fixed bad hands model on most characters
- Added new HD Alyx (close to original VALVE face shape)
- Updated SweetFX preset
- Fixed incomplete crossbow model when using ultra wide aspect ratio (21:9) or eyefinity
- Fixed ep1_c17_02 missing water
- Added (optional) nighttime coast sequence after numerous requests. Use the configurator tool for enabling the new maps
(Warning: You cannot use old coast savegames after switching)
- Added headlights for the buggy (hl2 EP0 only)
CM 2013 beta 5
- Fixed ep2_outland_09 (it was impossible to get past the laser cannons without cheating)

- Translation fixes for the configurator tool
- Enabled and tweaked Real-Time Approximation to Subsurface Scattering for all human models
CM 2013 beta 4
- Small map fixes
- Fixed old VALVE bug with wrong r_farz settings on mapload. This should increase performance on most outdoor maps

- Added Real-Time Approximation to Subsurface Scattering to the KENDRA HD model and most main characters
- Added swaying grass
- Updated SweetFX integration to the latest version 1.5.1
- For GERMAN users only: Überarbeitete deutsch Audio-Lokalisierung bei den Citizen.
CM 2013 alpha 17
- New HD model
- Map fixes (a lot)
- Fixed Plotstopper in EP1
- Worked around a crash bug with activated SweetFX on map transitions
- Updated SweetFX integration with v 1.5 and new presets.
Please de-select SweetFX and re-select SweetFX in the configurator to avoid crashes
- Added nightvision (default "n" - key -> can be reassigned in the options menu)
CM 2013 alpha 16
- New (reworked) Sampaio model -> almost final
- New Mossman model -> almost final

- Fixed crash bug when shooting at crane in map d2_coast_04
- New configurator setting "Large VRAM mode":
Try this setting if your GPUs has more than 2.5 GB vram.
It will force managed textures into GPU memory and allow DirectX to upload texture infos on level load,
eliminating most stuttering. DO NOT USE WITH LESS THAN 2.5 GB VRAM.
CM 2013 alpha 15
- Fixed small errors in d1_canals_08 - d1_canals_12
- Fixed plotstopper in ep2_outland_10 (never ending combine attack waves)

- Fixed navigation problems in ep1_c17_01
- Fixed jittering boxes in d1_trainstation_05
- Fixed narrow area in d1_canals_02
- Fixed bugs in d1_canals_07
- Small fixes in d1_canals_01, d1_canals_06
- Small fixes in ep2_outland_09
- Added postprocess effect gausian blur
This is mainly for screenshots, but some testers liked it as a permament effect during normal gameplay.
I recommend to use the "horizontal only" option
CM 2013 alpha 13
- Fixed wrong skill settings when activating original VALVE difficulty level (Please reselect CM skill settings in the configurator. After that you can select VALVE settings, if you want them)
- Fixed plotstopper in d2_prison_01 (blocked gunship)

CM 2013 alpha 02 - 11
- Internal playtest releases
CM 2013 alpha 01
- Migrating to Source engine 2009
- Rework of every single map in the game
- Improved lighting in all maps
- Improved landscapes and foliage. Most outdoor maps are completely re-sculped with new displacements
- Changed the old smoke explosions (moving alpha-texture planes, simple and ugly) to particle effects
- Dropped Parallax mapping because of crashes (duh!), but improved normal mapping in the game

- Added Bumpmapping to most old (flat) textures
- Many new HD textures
- Reworked the dynamic soundtrack system
- Reworked Client-Code, fixing all known crash errors
- Fixed all known plot-stoppers (like faulting npc scripts and event-triggers)
- Changed directory structure to keep the mod independent from future gamefile updates (Steam *loves* to break things)
Known bugs:
- After changing the ingame-language: Steam is asking you to restart hl2. Doing so will restart to the original unmodded hl2.
Therefore you should exit and start CM2013 manually.
- Poor performance on outdoor maps with HBAO enabled: HBAO is a fps killer and needs a really fast gpu.
- Sunrays are flickering: The sunrays shader is not fully compatible with multicore rendering. Either disable multicore
rendering in the advanced video options or disable the sunrays with the configurator.

no, you messed up story essential characters, VALVe made those characters look the way they are for design reasons, if they wanted it all to look as though it's ripped from mass effect 2 they would have made it that way. The least you could do is make the original characters with boosted graphics in a set of their own for those of us who enjoy the original, but just want a graphical improvement...
Exactly! I really despise the ways they change Alyx Vance!
what is wrong with the way they changed alyx?
EDIT: lol they just stuck this on a random comment didnt they? i wasnt replying to this one!
Why are we being voted down for giving honest opinions?
where can i download this baby?
Profile - Official Page - Cinematic Mod 10 - downloads
Problem is there is no downloads page yet.
links are there Cinematicmod.com
it seems that nearly all posters are talking about older releases , that is only 1 day the webage exists here and 4 that files can be downloaded ;']
as a free user at rapidshare it takes days or even weeks to grab all files , then weeks to play it all and see all detailed changes .
i played some of his releases , but never found it so "flashy" , according to the screens it looks this time he made it great . i believe it took all that years to understand how is made the game and the file-system : it turned into a big mess of "pictures" aka the textures that are all put in folders under materials . it is not easy to know where the textures are used : maps or models or nowhere . hl was a lot more cool with wad files and models embedding the bmps ;']
have fun with the mod , it should still be in progress
It's just too much of a clash of things that look absolutely gorgeous and things that look absolutely atrocious! <8s
You know, I always wondered why someone would ever do this to Half Life 2... Then just now I read the intro text.
"Imagine, a Hollywood producer got his hands on the game. The result would be similar to what the Cinematic Mod is: a graphics blockbuster, redesigned to the typical game to movie adaption with an orchestral soundtrack and beautiful people everywhere."
While that still doesn't explain why anyone would want to do that, at least there is some twisted logic behind it. Make Half Life 2 a crappy game based movie! Yay!
Most overrated mod for Half Life 2 with some of the worst skins I have ever seen.
Most underrated mod with the best skins i have ever seen.
You do know that he didn't make the models right? He simply ported them to the HL2 engine.
The models are horribly made too. More detail doesn't always mean better looking.
I know. Nevertheless, a glance at the gallery showed me the huge advantage of the new models. And after playing it, i'll never go back to the old moss-grown valve models.
If you don't like the models, don't activate it.
This mod is so much more than just new models. A perfect new cinematic experience for me.
To badmouth others work is just pathetic.
Highest Rated (27 agree) 10/10
Mod stands for Modification, either it is a Single Player Story modification a Multiplayer Modification or an improvement what so ever to the original game that fills more than one category (level design, texture, sound and models). Other wise it would be call a texture pack, map pack, model pack ect... But to actually re-imagine, re-make and re-mix elements to give a new fresh look and feel to an already existing game is no easy task. The models in CINEMATIC MOD are simply the best models in terms…

Lowest Rated (18 agree) 1/10
This mod is HORRIBLE.It's basicly Half Life 2 with "better" graphics. The new NPC models are horrible and the weapons don't fit into Half Life 2 AT ALL. The mapping is okay, but still bad. This is a total failure. DO NOT GET IT.

Austin Fashion Week

posted Apr 24 2013 12:47PM
One of my favorite components of Austin Fashion Week is the Mash Up Teams!
Every year teams consisting of a designer, hair stylist, make up artist, photographer, and a model get together to take one epic picture. I think the Mash Up teams are one of the coolest ways to showcase all the awesome Austin talent.
This year a team let me play model for a day....and we had so much fun!
Shout out to everyone on team Silueta.
And PLEASE vote for the team here.
Make up
: If you want natural beautiful make up then you have to go to
Kandy Glass at Face Kandy
. Bam...look at my face here. Her make up was flawless. FLAWLESS.
If you are looking for a new hair stylist...please check out Danielle Bar at
Thomas Saverio Salon
. How badass are the braids going through the hair.
I felt beautiful in my dress made by Austin designer Teresa Valenzuela Basa. I love the colors and flow of both dresses. The skirt on Shelby's dress is AMAZING. Everything was perfection.
Here is a great video about her debut line!
: I will be honest. I was NERVOUS to be a 'model for a day.' I didn't really know how to stand or what to do, but Peter Tung was awesome at making me feel confident and telling me how and where to stand. I think one of the best things a photographer can do is make you feel comfortable. Use him!
Peter Tung Photography
I think Adrian Nicole White's jewelry really added a little somethin' somethin' to the pictures. I am obsessed with those earrings she let me wear. They are just HOT.
Click here to check out more from her!
Isn't Shelby Leyva gorgeous! I hope to see her make it big in the business. She was so sweet and helpful...and obviously the girl has the fierce model look down.

Matt Little is gone, leaving a legendary legacy. He was widely renowned and will be well remembered as a Civil Rights Era icon who held a soul-deep commitment to empowering the African American community. Graduating North Carolina A&T State University in 1948, he relocated to the Twin Cities and, in 1954 became a board member of the Minneapolis NAACP, beginning a lifelong dedication to the organization. During his career, he was president of that chapter as well as president of the Minnesota state NAACP. Far from being a figurehead, Little was hands-on and counted among his most prized memories filing a federal lawsuit to integrate the Minneapolis Fire Department. Continue Reading →

Maine's three Indian tribes and Scarborough Downs failed to convince the Maine Legislature to approve their bids for expanding gambling this year. But they're not out of the game - yet. Support is mounting in both the House and the Senate for a bill authorizing a $150,000 study on the feasibility of additional gaming in the state and the impact it would have on Maine's two casinos. As A.J. Higgins reports, some lawmakers oppose the bill, claiming it is biased against veterans and fraternal organizations.
The bill authorizing a new study on expanded gambling in Maine arrived in the state Senate after a 96-45 vote in the House last week. But Sen. Linda Valentino, a Saco Democrat, doesn't think it goes far enough. The bill calls for a feasibility study instead of an in-depth analysis. And that's something she says lawmakers need to reach definitive conclusions about where Maine should be heading in response to some groups' perennial quest for more gaming opportunities.
"I think that if we're spending $150,000 on a report, we need to do a full report on it, we don't need to just stop at the market analysis," Valentino said.
The subsequent 26-9 Senate vote in favor of the bill with Valentino's new amendment is the latest development in the lengthy history of the statewide debate on casinos in Maine that stretches back nearly 20 years.
LD 1856 acknowledges that process by referencing the Penobscot Nation, the Passamquoddy Tribe, the Houlton Band of Maliseets and Scarborough Downs as groups that should have preference in formulating a competitive bidding process for establishing new gaming facilities, in addition to the state's two casinos in Bangor and Oxford.
The tribes and the track saw their bills for gambling expansion die in the Senate after receiving approval in the Maine House. Sen. John Patrick, a longtime member of the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee that spent much of the session reviewing the proposals, says the new study - the latest in a series of them - will be welcomed by lawmakers on his panel, who are constantly trying to balance the competing interests of those groups who claim they need gaming to survive.
"We will take the recommendations that are going to come forward and run with them, knowing that every entity, basically, that ever came to this hallowed body that wanted something done in the neighborhood of gaming will probably be finally resolved once and for all, once we have at least a baseline study," Patrick said.
Well, almost every entity. Sen. Garret Mason, a Lisbon Falls Republican, says the bill doesn't seem to recognize veterans groups and fraternal organizations that have also tried to get slot machines in their facilities. Mason says the omission of the groups and state preference for the race track and tribes reflect the bill's clear bias - and one that will be had to preserve.
"I think once you crack the door open for certain groups that other groups will start to come in, and in fairness would need consideration," Mason said. "For example, on a smaller scale, we had a bill that would have looked at creating slot parlors in all of the veterans' organizations in the state. Veterans are not included in this amendment."
Meanwhile, back in the House, nearly a third of the members initially found elements of the bill they weren't happy with. Rep. Diane Russell is a Portland Democrat.
"This study is a sweetheart deal for Las Vegas," Russell said. "if you want your gaming money to go to places like the Bellagio and MGM -- be my guest."
Russell had hoped to offer an amendment that - like Sen. Valentino's - would create a framework for a comprehensive study of gaming in Maine. She objected to the original plan because it placed an emphasis on considering existing gaming facilities.
Now that Valentino's amendment has been attached to the bill, there is some hope that it will attract even more support as it heads back to the House. And the bill will need it, since, as an emergency measure, it requires two-thirds votes in both chambers.

Thermostat control is vital for floor heating systems. Whether you want a thermostat you can set and program from your smartphone or a simple on/off dial control thermostat, we have the perfect stat for you. Aside from allowing you to set the temperature of your floor for maximum comfort, each thermostat also has built-in GFCI protection for your safety. Each thermostat has a maximum load of 15 AMPs, requires a dedicated circuit and can be used with either Nuheat or SunTouch heating elements.
Both programmable and non-programmable thermostats are available, but we strongly suggest using a programmable stat as they learn to compensate for the startup time of any system after a week or two of operation.
Browse Thermostats
DITRA-HEAT Thermostats are available in both programmable and non-programmable models. Both have a digital display, built-in GFCI protection, and can be used with either 120 or 240 volt heating systems. Both thermostat models have a maximum load of 16 AMPs, which is roughly 150 sq ft of 120v DITRA-HEAT cables or 300 sq ft of 240v DITRA-HEAT cables.
DITRA-HEAT thermostats have a maximum temperature setting of 82 °F.

Such true words. I always feel the 'slump' around this time, and too many times I treat schooling as a life emergency. Thanks for the reality check.

I'm not a homeschooler but definitely feel the February slump.
I love this "We need to be over-flowers of peace and joy and love...we cannot overflow if we are not taking the time to be filled." There definitely hasn't been a lot of peace, love and joy overflowing from me lately.
I definitely need to do some regrouping.

This was timely encouragement for me. We homeschool and we love it, but the workbooks are getting to me... It seems more like a 'check-it-off-the-list' kind of environment instead of a slow enjoyable time. Time to spruce up our school days. Thank you for this post.

Cruised on over via Ann and am so glad that I did! I have been uttering these same thoughts - burnt out, needing a recharge, but not wanting to demonstrate a lack of contentment to our children. Ugh! Anyway, thanks so much for your encouraging words and thoughtful post.

Great suggestions! Add some chocolate and I think you've got a fantastic recipe. Seriously, I always buy extra candy after Valentines Day, to help us persevere through spring. It's amazing what a small pile of M&M's does for math. And sometimes I even share them with my children :)

Perfect timing for me too! Tho' we are having spring weather, so I thought it was a bit of "spring fever"; looking deeper, I know it is "the rut"! Thank you for affirming the degree of clay time last week...listening to the audio Bible for kids and some reading aloud from the "Christian Heroes" series by YWAM at the same time...got us thru!

Well said, Aimee. The month of February has been tough one for us with sickness and plain old winter blues. Thank you for your wonderful suggestions. This is our second semester of home school, so I am still on a big learning curve and my confidence level needs boosting!

This is right where I am. I realized this last week and am just taking some time off. Burned out. Tired. Not motivated. I think some time and space will help. And it always does me good to get into my schoolroom and rearrange things, building a new system for successful days. There's something about February for me...it always seems to hit. Thanks for sharing--great post!

I'm so glad to read your post as a confirmation. We have two days off for President's day and I thought, why not take the other three days off too, not exactly off but time for reading the adventures we hadn't gotten to before we move out of the middle ages. I love the idea of decluttering too; although I am bad at it, finding time to do it and making all those decisions, it does seem like a perfect time to work on this.

Just visited a fellow home schooler and felt a twinge of failure when her young daughter proudly showed me all her neatly organized binders. I vowed to be more...like this, somehow, because surely this was tangible proof of their success. Until I got home. And once again embraced our way of school and was reminded of the growth and progress and joy gained, even without the neatly organized binders! I love hearing of others' style but am learning more and more to let our successes bloom naturally and by giving ourselves a break when needed.

Wow. Thank you. We have been feeling the slump, also; and the flu at my house last week made it worse! I just wasn't sure what was going on, but now I see that the combination of the two slapped us around a bit. Praise the Lord for fresh air!

Every February we would feel this way, and living in Massachusetts I felt it was more that we have had enough of the cold winter. But I guess,no matter where one lives and what the weather is like , we all need *change* to refresh us and liven things up....to reach that *harmony*. Love the picture!!
happy day!

BALTIMORE (AP) - The Chesapeake Bay Foundation says a Baltimore law firm is asking rural counties to challenge the new federally led bay restoration effort.
The foundation called the firm's effort the most serious attack on clean water that it has seen in Maryland. It said Tuesday that it has sent a letter to Gov. Martin O'Malley asking him to fight move.
The governor posted the foundation's letter on his Web blog. He said restoring the bay will take a coordinated effort and he wanted to share what he called a disturbing letter about something that threatens to undermine that effort.
Attorney David Funk says his firm, Funk & Bolton, is representing local governments that are trying to determine the most cost effective way to restore the bay.

Lifetime on Thursday said it will air its original movie "Romeo Killer: The Chris Porco Story" on Saturday as originally planned. It stars "Will & Grace" star Eric McCormack as an investigator.
Porco sought to stop the movie, saying Lifetime needed permission to use his name because the movie represents a fictionalized account of the 2004 crime.
A New York judge on Wednesday had temporarily banned Lifetime from showing the movie based on the grisly attack in upstate New York.
But the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court in a ruling on Thursday allowed the airing.

Good morning! I'm enjoying a little coffee and half a plain bagel before heading out for my 16 this morning. I went to see the Maryland Girls Basketball 3A regional final last night with my wife and daughter. DD played club basketball with 4 of the girls on one of the teams. I also coached a few of them in soccer for a number of years so we wanted to go and cheer them on. They ended up winning the game by almost 20 points. We hadn't seen a lot of those girls for a while so it was great to see them play and do so well. They move on to the state semi-finals next week.
Happy Saturday all!
Finally PRed!!!
Go CC!
Scott: Glad you had a good time at the game. Have a good 16.
I'm finishing my coffee before heading out to meet the group--we have a 13.1 mile course run this morning with the pacers, so I'll be doing at least parts of it at MP.
PRs: 5K: 22:09, 10K:44:55, 15K: 1:10:35, HM: 1:42:49, M: 3:32:09

Good morning!
CC, I hope you're putting some hurt on a race course right now.
I'm planning to do 17 today, which will be my last run over 2 hours of this training cycle. I was hoping it would be warm enough to do a dress rehearsal but that's not going to happen. But, looking at the 10 day, there's a warming trend coming our way so maybe next weekend.
Before heading out, I'm going to finish my pre-race hair cut and dye my hair... My hair is super curly and a few years ago a stylist very loudly went off on me about what a pain it was going to be for her to cut it. I was mortified. But, I got out of the chair, went to Sally's Beauty Supply, bought some scissors, and have never gone back to a salon. I think I do a pretty good job. It's curly so it's not like it has to be even around my head. I don't know what that lady was complaining about. I get compliments on my hair all the time - mostly because of the texture, though, which is genetics and not my doing.
Scott, Did you get your confirmation email? OMG, how are we already getting packet pick-up and corral information?! This race really is just around the corner. What corral are you in? I'm in 2.
Just B.S., You all look like you're having a blast! What a great thing to do for a friend's birthday. And, I like the pony tails.
SIAR, Have fun on the group run... I'm actually thinking of getting the car to take us home after the race; not before. No way am I trusting one of my brother's drivers to get me to the race on time. (Last time I ran this marathon, I got to the race with 8 minutes to spare.). We're thinking of having it stocked with post-race champagne. This friend lives in Boston and bet me a bottle on the Ravens-Patriots game. Poor thing didn't know about my sports mojo.
Swift, Hope you nail your pace today.
JoJo, Enjoy your rest day. Have some carbs.

Good morning! Mmmm coffee. I thought we were all out. That would have been a bad morning.
I got an easy 8 in last night and will do just 6 today before the 10 miler tomorrow. I'm not impressed with my shape right and the weather (30F, feels like 20, 13 mph winds) won't exactly be perfect for racing, so I decided not to do the normal rest day/4 miles. I can't resist taking it a little easy though. I enjoyed this race last year though so I'm still looking forward to it. And I'm soooo excited to FINALLY be racing again!
Scott: Have fun on your quick 16! That's very cool about your daughter's friends - I'm happy they played well.
NTS: Sounds like a great run!
SIAR: You're an addict. Sounds like you have a busy weekend scheduled!
Jodi: Sounds like a busy rest day! Did your son get to make any updates for this time around? I've never been to a derby but it sounds like fun.
Julia: Good for you getting out of that chair! That must have felt good. I'm pretty shaggy myself right now, but I'm going to pay someone else to work on that. Gotta look pretty for tomorrow. That 2011 National race was a total disaster! Luckily my parents drove me in, and I was able to run the last mile or so to the race site. That was my PR half marathon, but I was in much better shape than the time I ran. I only saw the 1st mile marker and the 10th, and by the 10th I was over a minute off schedule. As you probably know the owners had already sold the race to RNR and were taking their money and running. They screwed a bunch of people over in the process. Also, the guy that was winning the marathon through the half said they didn't have a bike in front of him, and he got lost in the parking lot after a cop sent him in the wrong direction and ended up jogging the rest of the way for third. The only positive about that (other than the PR, which I'll take!) is that a friend yelled "Get every last second!" at me as I went up that last little hill. That's a phrase I go to sometimes later in races.
CC: Run fast!!
Good morning,
A little more than 17 done and it snowed the entire way. I was soaking wet. A couple more of those in March, and I think I will be ready for April. Going to doze off for a bit after eating blueberry pancakes with coffee butter...a recipe from RWOL. Pancakes are like turkey to me...put me right to sleep. Of course, I did eat five of them!
Go Rachel!
16 done at MP. This is as ready as I'm going to get.
Yes, I got my email last night. I'm in corral 11. Two weeks from today!
Bad Ass
Morning! I did 16 miles in South Beach this morning and the weather was gorgeous.
Good luck to Rachel who is doing Woodlands today! She crossed the 19.X mark in 2:58 according to her FB page. Good luck to Patti as well!
Scott, hope your 16 went as good as mine.
swift, enjoy the HM distance run.
SIAR, have fun with your 14.
Jodi, I had not noticed you have a race tomorrow. Is this a PR attempt? Good luck!
Julia, have fun with your 17. BTW, I don't cut my own hair but I do dye it myself. The freedom of doing it when and where I want it while doing other chores is priceless.
Jackdyl, nice runs. You might be surprised as to how much better you'll race after having run the day before.
marco, sorry you were soaked but great job on the 17.

16 done at MP. This is as ready as I'm going to get.
Yes, I got my email last night. I'm in corral 11. Two weeks from today!
Damaris - Your run on South Beach sounds like a dream.
I'm not seeing your race on the list! Either that or I am blind!
I guess it must be great run induced blindness.
I told you I was blind!
Back from my 14...pretty slow, but that's probably good for me. It was a little annoying as we were "practicing" drinking by doing little loops and stopping at a water table, but I do think it was useful for people that haven't raced too much. By the end the cups were just ice though ha.
Scott...16 at MP? Which MP did you use? Regardless, that's a kick butt run! I'd say you're right, you're more than ready.
Swift...That sounds like an interesting run with the pacers and all...hope it works out for you.
Jodi...Wow, busy day for you. I've been down to a spring training game before and had a really fun time too (assuming that's what you're going to). Good luck tomorrow.
Julia...I think you should post a picture and we can all judge you on your hair cutting ability lol. I'd have turned around and smacked that stylist if I were in your shoes. We're getting that warming trend too...mid 40s by Thursday, maybe even 50!!! I can't wait. You got a marathon 8 minutes before the start? I bet it took a long time to settle into the run...I'd have been panicked until about mile 10 I think. The champagne in the car for post race celebrating sounds fun. And you're right, your poor friend didn't stand a chance with that bet.
Jack...Yep, I'm not impressed with your shape right now either! Haha, kidding of course as I can't touch your paces. It just seems like you haven't been able to train as you'd have liked, so maybe tempering your expectations a little will still leave you feeling good about the result. Who knows, maybe it will be one of those days where you just have it and can get out there and fly. Regardless, have fun out there and enjoy it!
Marco...Nicely done with the 17. I did a lot of puddle hopping today myself. Those pancakes sound awesome, especially when followed by a nap.
D.R...Sounds like an awesome run for you. I'm sure having your back all squared away had to help.
Hi everyone! Great running from everyone today.
I got in 14+ with 11 at MP--did not push it too much because of my 10K tomorrow, but the MP felt really comfortable, which was nice!
We had some snowflakes during the run (first I've seen this winter) and the Georgia Marathon people had mimosas for us after!
Personals later, got a bunch of stuff to do right now.

December 24th, 2012
Ray Isle (@islewine on Twitter) is Food & Wine's executive wine editor. We trust his every cork pop and decant – and the man can sniff out a bargain to boot. Take it away, Ray.
Few issues in the world are truly black-and-white. Cats, for instance. Some people think they're nice pets; some people think they're furry little narcissists who'd happily dine on your face if there were ever a complete collapse of civilization due to a nuclear apocalypse. Ditto Elvis (meaning some people love his music, some think it's awful. ...Not that he'd dine on your face. Though, honestly, if it were a zombie-based apocalypse, I suppose he might.)
But one thing that can be divided into simple, black-and-white categories is winter and holiday beers. Basically, there are the ones that taste like something your grandmother would bake, and the ones that don't.
Not that I'm trying to tick off the grandmothers of the world. I don't want a legion of rolling pin-wielding grannies chasing me down Fifth Avenue, bent on my demise. However, I do think that a beer should, at least in some way, taste like a beer instead of, say, a fruitcake.
Other people may not be as riled up by this topic as me. I accept that. Since it's almost Christmas and there's still time to buy a case of tasty winter ale, I don't want the beer drinkers of the world to come back home with something that tastes like a fermented brown sugar-cinnamon Pop-Tart. So here are six that are actually very good:
Baladin Nöel
Deschutes Jubelale
Innis & Gunn Winter Treacle Porter
Smuttynose Winter Ale
Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale

Custom Painted Vinyl Windows and Doors for New Construction and Replacement Projects
Welcome to MGM Industries' website. Click on any one of the sub-brands of MGM to enter our extensive product line categories. If your interested in New construction, click on the SouthernRose Brand; Replacement, click on the Sienna Brand; and if your interested in our Hurricane and high design pressure product, click on the WindStrong Brand.
At MGM we have tested all of our windows to meet the Energy Star demands required in your market area.
We have compiled a
convenient table for you to determine the configuration to meet your Energy Star needs.
If you want to read a detailed blog article about Energy Star:
More on Energy Star
We have an in-house test wall and we have over 100 years of cumulative engineering talent employed at MGM Industries.
Click on the link above and compare us with the competition.
Over the years we have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on independent test reports which certify our windows
to Energy Star and International Building Code (IBC) standards. We have the knowledge and expertise to
comply with ASCE7 commercial window standards.
If you want a partner who knows windows and doors. . .
Call the "A Team".
Our windows have twice the product life-cycle of the average wood, aluminum-clad wood, or vinyl-clad wood windows. How do I know this: they have been installed in my Uncle's house in Southeast Missouri since 1985 and they look brand new. On top of that, when the competitions windows have failed because of rot or energy inefficiency, we get called to provide good window and door product. I've seen clad-wood window sashes rotting in the home, and I've seen the sweating aluminum windows. After 25 years of going on service calls, building windows, designing windows and having product time-tested in the field, it is my humble opinion that our windows are better than wood or fiberglass or aluminum or clad-wood windows . . . .  Period.
If you can find a better window: . . . . . .Buy it
Abe Gaskins, President,second generation and hands-on American family business co-owner
Lead the Change...Unleash the Innovation...
At MGM Industries we lead the change. We are merging
the gap between vinyl windows and clad-wood windows. Our
8010 Series double hung looks exactly like the traditional
shop-build wood window, and our
8017 Series double hung window looks exactly
like a contemporary clad-wood window. MGM will color match the exterior to the users preference. Nobody has
a window like ours. . . .Nobody!!!
Now MGM offers these products in Bronze and Earthtone as a standard exterior finish.
For more information.."The Total Tearout"
FYI, the 8010 has passed a C30 commercial rating, we call it...The 8065
If you're looking for a niche that nobody has. . .

                                                        At MGM we hit'em where they ain't. . .
Introducing the first Four-panel Telescoping Sliding Door
MGM's design team is bringing the outdoors in with the development of its state of the art, all vinyl four-panel sliding glass door, the MGM Series 9600. With its slim line,
contemporary look, homeowners will delight in their ability to extend their living space to an exterior patio, effectively increasing their interior design options.
With a design pressure of 47 on both structural and water, the Series 9600 is made for the harshest wind loads Mother Nature has to offer. The all vinyl configuration
makes the door perfect for the salt spray environments of the coastal regions and, for exposed applications, its unique panning system will resist the elements.
All panels are operable and both ends are available with handle sets, enabling homeowners to open them from either side.
Vinyl sliding patio doors offer improved energy efficiency, lower maintenance and greater versatility over wood or aluminum.
Ask for:
The 9600 Series four-panel door. Which is designed for use in covered porches or transitions from the inside to outside. We recommend a minimum overhang of at least 10 feet.
This door is available in a DP 45 version. This door is designed to withstand coastal design pressures, but we still recommend a minium overhang of at least 10 feet.

We are Green at MGM IndustriesAt MGM we believe in recycling. All of our "scrap" generated internally is reused in our in-house extrusion operation. We are so advanced in recycling uPVC, that we buy "end cuts" from the industry thereby removing the burden on the countries landfills. As a result of this program, we absorb more uPVC "scrap" than we produce. If an Architect or consumer requested it, we have the ability to produce a top quality vinyl window out of 100% recycled product. If you want to know more, ask us--we would be happy to talk for a long time about recycling, recycled uPVC, and how it can be made into a better product than virgin uPVC. Most of our product has 20% recycled uPVC in it. This will result in a product that is weatherable and will have a greater "impact strength" than virgin uPVC. We are environmentally green while at the same time containing our material costs. It is a win-win situation and it is sustainable. If you have a part or a project that you want us to design and develop out of recycled PVC, please call us.
That's why we say we: Unleash the innovation...

Trooper C.J. Matos with the Onslow County Highway Patrol said a woman turned in front of a deputy before he could hit the brakes.
It happened at 7 p.m. on Tuesday along Highway 53 near the intersection with Blue Creek School Road.
Trpr. Matos said 21-year-old Sarah Gillespie was turning into the Sherwood Mobile Home Park, and turned in front of an on coming patrol car driven by Onslow County Sheriff's Deputy, Gilbert Delarosa.
Matos said Delarosa did not have enough time to stop, and hit the back, right panel of Gillespie's car, sending his patrol vehicle into the ditch.
While both cars were totaled, Matos said neither driver was injured in the wreck.
Gillespie now faces a charge of failure to yield right of way.

Thousands of Oprah Winfrey fans are expected in Chicago for a star-studded, double taping of her talk show as it approaches its finale.
The show dubbed "Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular" starts Tuesday evening at the United Center, just blocks from Winfrey's long-time studios. Winfrey's producers say the guest lineup is a secret, but they promise "the biggest names in movies, music and television."
Tickets were free and distributed to fans through a lottery. The episodes will air May 23 and 24, before Winfrey's final show on May 25.
Executive producer Sheri Salata says Winfrey is "in great spirits, energized and taking in every last bit of these final days."
Winfrey announced in November 2009 that she would end "The Oprah Winfrey Show" this year after 25 years.
