Should pipe boots be nailed down at the bottom? Regards,Zen
Some might say yes and other no.IMO every exposed nail head is a potential liability.
Personally. I prefer my guys to use clips.A simple strip of coil stock about an inch wide fastened under the flashing,,then the remaining strip flip back and over the typically nailed area will secure the flashing and will eliminate the otherwise exposed fastener.You can do that on the plastic,aluminum and lead boots/stacks.
Basically its an apron clip.Its much more detailed and leaves no fasteners exposed.
I say nail them down. That way, when the insurance adjuster argues about paying for boots and vents when they're not directly damaged from the covered hazard, you can point to the nailed down portion as justification for having them paid for. :badgrin:
Kinda funny,,we were just talking about that a few days ago.I guess i should have said "Nail the hell outta them" :badgrin:
If you don't nail them down, in the later years when the roof gets older the bottoms will lift up and sometimes allow water to run or blow in under the flashing base. Nail Em down and silicone the nail heads!
Not if you use lead instead of that plastic crap
Lead is the preference,,,with pipe flashings such as the plastic or the aluminum ,,,the fastener (Fastened or not)(Clips or no clips) is the last thing IMO to fail with those types of flashings.What makes a plastic or aluminum flashing fail more times than not is the neo collar.Dry rot of the rubber from extreme exposure resulting in cracking and splitting around the pipe itself is where the product fails.
In Missouri our squirrels have an appetite for lead.The little goobers gnaw and chew the lead around the tops exposing the pipes and overtime will cause leaks.But I would much rather have a squirrel cause the leak than me being a cheap skate and trying to provide a 10 yr. workmanship warranty around a product that will fail in a matter of a couple years depending on the severity of summer time temps.
I really like Perma Boot,, A little pricey but looks really good.I can spend about $4 for a 2""-3" plastic flashing,,,$6 for an aluminum 2"-3"''$15 for a lead 2"-5" or $20 for a Perma Boot.
Anyway you look at it Lead or Perma Boot is a better investment.It makes more sense to me to provide a better product for the customer than pocket a few bucks per flashing.
I don't think any of the top 100 roofing companies in the United States can say they made millions by shaving cost using an inferior product like plastic or aluminum pipe flashings.
Maybe so, but around here they all use galvanized bases with neoprene rubber collars. When in Rome do as the romans do. None of the local supply houses even stock lead boots. You would have to pay more, special order in quanity, cut down pipes and then the squirrels will still chew them up. We have an extremely high squirrel population here.
Also, the lifting up of the bottoms when not nailed down occurs with the heater vents, etc. too. Are you going to change those to lead also? If not then you need to nail them down and silicone the heads!
We use rubber due to squirrel concerns. However, we install the rubber rain caps on top of every one installed essentially double booting. It is the UV rays from the sun that breaks down the rubber causing it to become brittle and crap. The rain caps shield the pipe boot from the sun extending the life to that of the shingles.
I guess you could always tell the homeowners to hit those collars with some ArmorAll a couple times a year to squeeze a few more years out of them.
I nail them with a rubber washered hot dipped ring shank.
Ice and water under it is never a bad idea as well. Helps seal the nail shank.
Agreed,,,I push Ice and Water around all openings.Pipes,vents,walls,chimneys,crickets,skylights etc but still not a fan of exposed fasteners.
Agreed here as well. :mrgreen:
Plumbing suppliers usually sell lead boots probably in all areas where not normally available from roofing suppliers (for what its worth).
Squirrels love lead! Roofers love to beat up other roofers who use neo's. Its right at $20.00 for a 4" lead boot in my area!
If you cemented around the hole in the decking (and on top of the underlayment), the boot probably will never leak regardless. I have seen entire tops of neo's missing on 14-16yr old roofs with no leaks because the installers cemented the pipe.

Oklahoma basketball notebook: Zone defense lifts Sooners to win over Texas A&M
For the first time this year, Oklahoma played primarily a zone defense, confounding Texas A&M with a 1-3-1 for much of the game.
The Sooners briefly debuted the defensive look against UT Arlington last week before using it extensively for the first time in Saturday's 64-52 win in Houston.
"Unfortunately it gave us some problems and we weren't prepared for it like we need to be," Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy said. "I told the team that was my fault."
Once the Aggies started struggling from the floor, Oklahoma stuck with the zone and Texas A&M never shot it well enough to force the Sooners to change strategies.
"They weren't shooting the ball with confidence. They weren't shooting it like they can," Sooners coach Lon Kruger said. "We didn't plan on playing that much zone coming in but it turned out we ended up playing a lot more zone than man. That's the first time we've done that on the year."
Freshman forward Austin Mankin hasn't played much more than mop-up minutes so far this season.
But late in the first half Saturday, Kruger inserted Mankin for Frank Booker for nearly four minutes.
Mankin quickly took advantage, grabbing a defensive rebound on his first possession on the floor and then hitting a 3-pointer at the other end.
It was Mankin's first field goal of the season.
"We need to get Austin in that rotation a little bit more," Kruger said. "Especially with Je'lon (Hornbeak) out. We need one more guy to get into that rotation."
The Sooners (11-1) are off for more than a week before hosting Louisiana Tech at 7 p.m. Dec. 30.
The Bulldogs, who lost to Oklahoma State 70-55 on Dec. 14, are 9-3 entering Sunday's game against Louisiana-Monroe.
OU's game against Louisiana Tech will be its final nonconference game before beginning Big 12 play at Texas on Jan. 4.

Professional sports prepare for openly gay athletes
The big four of North American sports have started to make major inroads with the gay and lesbian community and we couldn't be more supportive.
Our country has already taken big steps toward acceptance on the institutional level in just the past 10 years. In 2003, the Supreme Court put an end to Texas', and by extension 13 other states' prohibitions on same-sex intercourse with its ruling in Lawrence v. Texas. In 2011, the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy was repealed, allowing gay men and lesbian women to serve openly in our military. Since 2011, the Obama administration has refused to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. As of 2013, nine states and Washington, D.C. now allow same-sex marriage. However, it's one thing for the government to endorse gay rights, it's another thing altogether for one of America's most revered cultural outlets to do the same.
What cultural institution do Americans most identify with? Pro sports are certainly a strong contender. According to a 2011 Marist poll, 61 percent of Americans consider themselves sports fans; in 2012, the MLB drew over 74.8 million to its parks; the NFL's Super Bowl regularly breaks the record for the most-watched event in American television history.
Pro sports have played a big role in breaking down cultural barriers. Jackie Robinson didn't just break the color line when he first donned Dodgers blue in 1947, he also set the stage for greater acceptance of people of color in society. Every time he stepped to the plate on the national stage, he proved racial integration wouldn't damage the national pastime — that there was nothing un-American about the color of one's skin. We don't think sexual orientation will be any different.
The groundwork for openly gay and lesbian athletes has been in the works for the past several years. All of the major sports leagues now have policies against discrimination based on sexual orientation. Various current and former players and officials have come out in support of inclusiveness. Just last Thursday, the NHL jumped ahead of the rest of the pack, launching an initiative to combat homophobia. We applaud such activity and hope the NHL's action will spur the other leagues into a competition, jockeying to outdo one another's inclusive initiatives.
All this preparation comes with apt timing as the reality of gay sports figures in the big four nears salience. On April 5, in an interview with The Baltimore Sun, LGBT rights supporter and former NFL linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo stoked the hopes of many by announcing that "as many as four players could conceivably come out simultaneously" in the near future.
With the imminence of openly gay athletes, the foundation being laid by the pro sports leagues is both vital and welcome. It is undeniable that when gay players start to disclose their sexual orientations, there will be backlash. Creating an accepting environment now can go a long way toward mitigating such criticism. A smooth transition into such an important part of what defines many of us as Americans will have major, positive effects for the gay community. Institutional support alone will not change people's minds. Making the diverse range of sexual orientations an integral part of the American identity will.

AFC East, NFC South face gauntlets
Originally Published: April 13, 2009By John Clayton | ESPN.com
A year ago, the NFL schedule favored teams in the AFC East and NFC South. Easy out-of-division schedules give teams the opportunity to go 7-3 or better, and five of those eight teams accepted that gift. The only team from that group with a losing record was the Buffalo Bills, who went 7-9 but 7-3 in non-division games.
This season, the AFC East and NFC South have to pay the price.
The eight hardest schedules for the 2009 season are for AFC East and NFC South teams, and three ...

Crikey, on 14 January 2013 - 02:16 AM, said:
Thanks, and what exactly does this mean about being marked on foreheads and hands, what sort of mark?-
Revelation 14:9/10- "A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of Gods fury.."
I wrote a follow up piece on this immediately after my first response on 666. The mark on the foreheads and hands comes from the Old Testament, about how God told the Jews to follow the Law to the 'T.'
"And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a [b]sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes." (Deuteronomy 6:6-8 ESV)[/i]
So, basically, the beast would institute a law that its followers would take that demonstrated their faithfulness to it. Those that took the mark were rejecting the salvation of Christ. And like the Jews that rejected them and were subjected to the curse of the law, which includes the plagues of Egypt (Duet. 28:15-68,) so these Gentiles that took the mark would also be cursed.
Interesting. The Jews followed the Torah so that they would enjoy God's blessings only to find themselves excluded. The Gentiles followed their own religious law so that they would have eternal life in heaven. Ironically, these are the ones subjected to the 'second death.' Like what Babylon (Rome) is told:
""The fruit for which your soul longed has gone from you, and all your delicacies and your splendors are lost to you, never to be found again!" (Revelation 18:14 ESV)
I think that this still all relates to the kingdom of God. In Matthew 21:43, the Jews were told by Jesus that the kingdom of God would be taken from them and given to nations producing fruit for the Gospel. The times of the Jews ended in 70 CE and the times of the Gentiles began. At the height of its power, the Roman Church would become prideful and power-hungry, seeking to accrue much wealth for itself. Those that challenged its authority were put to death. Those that submitted to its authority also submitted themselves to a life of bondage to the canon law. At one point, the Church of Rome even permitted a priest to preach salvation for the purchase of indulgences; an act that sparked revolution in the Church. Their sermon was not that the poor would find equality in justice in God's kingdom, as Jesus taught, but rather that God is angry at their sin and ready to damn them to eternity if they do not pay for the indulgence and let the Church of Rome remiss their sins.
So, when we speak of evil in the Church, we tend to always revert back to the Middle Ages, with crusades and inquisitions. This, I think is the greatest indication of what the mark was and who bore it. I will say it plainly now: The mark of the beast was Roman Catholicism. It was a state-sponsored religion that cared more for monasticism than it did for social equality. Social inequality eventually caught up with it when the French revolutionaries overthrew its power and chopped the heads off of the priests at the guillotine.
However, just like when Jesus came, one can be a Catholic without submitting to the false religion of justification by works (or by indulgences), just like one can be accepted into the Abrahamic Covenant without having to get circumcised. Jesus freed us from bondage to the Law. We should not be placing ourselves back under it.
And if any are curious. The Roman Church gained primacy after the Great Schism of 1054. The schism between Rome and Constantinople occurred because Rome was criticizing Constantinople on its use of leavened bread during the Eucharist, an accusation akin to justification by the Mosaic Law.

Hello all. Still riding my first serious bike, a 1975 Raleigh Gran Sport. At 35, it's been on six RAGBRAIs & is headed for another this summer. After a long series of upgrades (now down to three original parts - frame, fork, handlebar), I've tried to keep it true to the original touring flavor. It still has downtube shifters (now indexed), wide flange hubs (Campy SR), randonneur bar, 27" wheels, Brooks (Pro) leather saddle and of course the original Carlton frame & fork of Reynolds 531 steel. I run 21 speed gearing and 27x1.125 Panaracer Pasela TG tires. Yes, it's a bit heavier than today's bikes, but the road feel is sweet...especially with those smoothly curved forks. It can handle about any road conditions (even Iowa gravel) and never lets me down. With reasonable care and some luck, I think it may be able to keep rolling right out to 50 years.
I'm interested in exchanging thoughts with other riders of vintage steel touring bikes.
Here in central Iowa, we're looking forward to the completion this fall of the High Trestle Trail, which will soon carry riders across the Des Moines river 13 stories up on a new bridge build on old railroad pylons (http://www.inhf.org/trails/high_tres...l/a2wtrail.htm).
I also enjoy leading Scouts pursuing the Cycling merit badge. Life is Good.

I love Georgetown. I love Smarty Pants. I love All City Coffee. I love Uncle Mo's. I love the postage stamp houses. I love the landing airplanes that threaten to give you a buzz cut as you ponder purchasing a motorscooter, a slice of pizza, or a piece of art. I love that Georgetown hasn't become, as threatened, Capitol Hill Southwest. And maybe one of the reasons Georgetown hasn't become Capitol Hill Southwest is that Airport Way is serviced fairly crappily by the Metro bus system. Route 131 only features once per hour trips from the neighborhood's main drag to downtown; it'd be nice if that frequency doubled or tripled. In the interim, can anyone tell me whether there's a better northbound bus route to walk to -- perhaps on Marginal or 4th -- that I'm currently oblivious to?

For most of us, sitting down to a multi-course dinner prepared by a famed chef is a special occasion. Very special.
But there are some parts of the world where premium food and wine are such essential parts of daily life that it's not unusual to be treated to such an experience every day - without going broke in the process.
Take San Sebastián, on northern Spain's Bay of Biscay coast, just 20 kilometers from France.
Known as Donostia in the Basque tongue, the city says it has more Michelin stars (a total of 16) per square meter than any other place in the world.

I normally buy much cheaper false lashes, but these are definitely worth the extra bit. The glue is very strong to use as well.
LOVE them!
Posted by pixiesti6669 on Jun 04, 2014
Favorite lashes ever! I forget I have them on and they look awesome!
Very natural!
Posted by 4943679973792810226 on Dec 02, 2013
Natural yet dramatic lashes! As with all ecotools eyelahes, DO NOT try to tear off the original glue or u will end up tearing a part of the lash band off like me. After using ecotools lashes for some time now, I realise they are very fragile. At the end of the day, when I take my lashes off and try to take the glue off them, I have to be very careful so that I won't end up tearing a part off the lash band as well. So, please be careful when taking glue off these lashes!

Not sure what thread this should go in so mods move it accordingly.
We got some stupid (sorry, just the truth) fans. I mean, I understand they get excited when we are on offense and good stuff is happening. But we gotta learn to shut up. The Niners would put "Quiet on Offense" on the TVs but that wasn't working. So this past game they piped in Sssshhhhhh sound over the loud speaker.
The players on the field are telling the fans to be quiet and they keep going. Ridiculous. I can understand a few people doing it but this is like 50% of the stadium.

AFAIK, this isn't possible to do in a single text clip. Multiple clips, you could use underscore and stack the two of them (or use the shape generator to make a thin rectangle) or open in Motion and add one or more lines.
How you managed to do it in a single text clip is a mystery.
If you do it again, hopefully you'll share the solution by posting.

You can use this:
It will only handle a single line, but with baseline and matching text, it can be inserted into (layered with) another Title (if carefully lined up.)
Here's an example:
The underline is linked to the position of the text (changing the alignment to center or right will offset the underline... no big deal - see below.) Changing the position of the text in the canvas will not affect the relative position of the link with respect to the text.
When you first apply the title, the text 'Simple Text Underline' will be underlined.
Use the Offset to slide the beginning of the line to the position you require; use the Length to scale it back to fit the word.
Vertical Offset will drop the underline (or raise it for a Strike Through) -- helpful if the font metrics are non-standard.
[Click and drag on the number values instead of the sliders -- the sliders really don't span that much distance.]
Color (underline only - color the text in the text inspector): this is not linked to the text color to allow different colors like Red for emphasis.
Width will thicken the underline (to match styles [bold etc.])
Use Drop Shadow *will* apply the text drop shadow characteristics (from the text inspector) to the underline. Make sure that the Drop Shadow in the Text inspector is left on, and turn it On or Off in the Title inspector (with the Use Drop Shadow option).

I tested this with the Custom Title and I see the same underline that you see. My theory is that this underline will not show up in your finished movie. In fact, the underline does not show up unless you are in the Title Inspector.
1) With the custom title you get a control (a little circle). You can drag this circle to position the custom title anywhere you want to. The little circle is on the baseline of the title.
2) You also get a Baseline parameter. In the neutral position, the text sits right on the baseline, but by moving the slider, you can have the text spaced above or below the baseline.
So you are seeing the baseline, but the baseline only shows when you are in the Title Inspector. If you preview your timeline, the underline will not be there.

My Morning Jacket
When: Sunday, Sept. 28
Where: McCaw Hall
The Reverend Jimmy James took his place behind the pulpit at the Temple of the Fine Arts (McCaw Hall) Sunday evening as the faithful eagerly gathered for his 150-minute message. In his sermon, James told the congregation that "Religion should appeal to the hearts of the young" (Gideon), "I'm amazed at your wrong devotion" (I'm Amazed), and "This is a classy place. But, don't be afraid do be too classy." Ah, yes, the class of McCaw Hall, the same place you come for the Nutcracker each December. No Sugar Plumb Fairy Sunday night, but there were extinguished roaches in the urinals. Classy.
After a teaser set of 50 minutes at Pemberton Fest, I've been jonesing for the real thing. MMJ's famous for their live shows, and for good reason. Mr. James sings songs like "Off the Record" kinda like you do in your car: full-throated, uninhibited, eyes closed (but, you know, in key). And his supporting cast plays like they've just hit the rock 'n' roll jackpot (and haven't they?). Though they'll probably never shake the indie rock tag, Sunday's performances of staples like "Dancefloors" and "One Big Holiday" demonstrated the band's penchant for hard rock, while "Dondante," perhaps the highlight of the evening, left no question to the the band's devotion to the extended jam.
I must admit, however, that the extent to which James leaned on pre-recorded vocal support on songs like "Wordless Chorus," "Highly Suspicious," and "Anytime," was both curious and a little suspicious. The band clearly has the musicianship to cover the backup vocals, as was typically the case, or to at least work around where they could not lend some high-octave help. Oh, well. He may not be perfect, but the man can preach.

Characteristics of Canadian Youth Reporting a Very Early Age of First Sexual Intercourse
Boyce, William F., Gallupe, Owen, Fergus, Stevenson, The Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality
Abstract: The present study examined the correlates of having experienced first sexual intercourse (FSI) at a very early age using a large, national classroom sample of Canadian adolescents from the Canadian Youth, Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS Study (Boyce et al., 2003). Most of the available studies on this topic have divided adolescent respondents into categories of "early" and "late" based on the average age of first intercourse. As a result, a portion of the young people identified in these studies as having had "early" first sexual intercourse had actually done so at an age when intercourse would have been becoming normative. The large size of the present sample of adolescents (n=2301; mean age 15.8 years) provided enough males and females who had non-normative very early FSI to compare them with peers who had first intercourse later. Associations were tested on variables in four conceptual categories: family relationships; psychological factors; peers and risk-taking; and partner-related factors. A very early age of FSI (defined as 11 years or less for males and 12 years or less for females), was associated with having experienced pressure to have unwanted sex, having used drugs other than marijuana, and believing that popularity at school is dependent upon rebelling/breaking the rules. While the retrospective nature of our cross-sectional analysis precludes assigning directionality of influences, the possible predictive value of the findings, including the influence of "fitting in" with peers, is considered in relation to future research on this topic.
While a substantial body of research has examined the correlates and risk factors for early first sexual intercourse (FSI) in adolescence, there has been little focus on this subject in a Canadian population context. Most such studies have designated FSI as either "early" or "late" based on the average age of first intercourse and have thus included in their "early" samples youth whose first intercourse occurred at ages approaching normativity. In such cases the early-late dichotomization tells us little about the correlates of FSI at non-normative very early ages. The present study addresses this gap in knowledge by examining correlates of first intercourse at these very early non-normative ages in a large national sample of grade 9 and 11 students who have ever had intercourse drawn from the Canadian Youth, Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS Study (Boyce, Doherty-Poirier, Mackinnon, & Fortin, 2003).
Literature on the non-biological correlates of age of FSI has tended to focus on factors associated with four broad conceptual categories: family relationships; psychological factors, peers and risk-taking; and partner-related factors. The present study also uses these categories and the literature review that follows will thus consider past findings in these areas as a basis for our choice of ages representing very early FSI for male and female students. We note at the outset, and again in the discussion, a principal limitation of cross-sectional studies, such as the present one, in which older students' responses to questions about their current lives are used to identify factors thought to be associated with their having begun intercourse at a very early age a number of years in the past.
The limitation is an inability to determine directionality of influence between possible predictors and past events. This is particularly so in the present study, in which associations are based on ages reflecting very early FSI that are younger than may have been chosen in the "early intercourse" studies reviewed here. In the case of our own findings in particular, we will therefore refer to factors that are "associated with" or "related to" early or very early FSI rather than "predictive" or "preventive" of it. This being said, we do anticipate that a number of the associations found in this study will prove to be contributors to very early FSI and not simply consequences of it. …

text: Though the Dead Weather is technically a supergroup in which White plays with Dean Fertita of Queens of the Stone Age and Jack Lawrence of the Greenhornes, the band mainly serves to highlight his chemistry with Kills singer Alison Mosshart. The band's live performances are known as much for their raw rock power as they are for the incredible sexual tension between Mosshart and White onstage. They both deny having ever hooked up, but that's hard to imagine after having seen this clip of "Will There Be Enough Water?" filmed live at the Roxy in Los Angeles in 2009.

Respond to Review of Bulan Thai Vegetarian Kitchen - Melrose
by GUEST
Review: my first time to eat in this restaurant. my husband and my son went over to this place because we heard a lot of good things about it. we were vegetarians for 29 years and never found the best vegetarian resto here in LA. so there we went and not so far from our home. first we tried the spring rolls, oh my god!! it was the best ever! and then they served the food we ordered after that. the pad thai was excellent, the curry tofu and the mixed veg was cooked by gods! i have eaten into different thai veg resto but this one is far excellent. they serve very little and little pricey but hey! we had a wonderful and satisfying lunch. it's true what they say, it was cooked nicely and there was no after taste. the service was very good too, nice atmosphere. try and visit this place you will be amazed.

Wednesday, May 4, 2011
An Associated Press monthly analysis finds that lower unemployment, bankruptcies and foreclosures in March reduced the nation's economic stress to its lowest point this year.
More than 85 percent of the nation's 3,141 counties and every state but two -- Louisiana and South Dakota -- fared better than in February.
Manufacturing activity has helped ease hardship in the Great Lake states and Indiana over the past 12 months -- more than in any other region.
Louisiana, Iowa and the Mountain states of Idaho and Montana have suffered the sharpest increases in stress, year over year. Post-Hurricane Katrina projects are winding down in Louisiana. The Mountain states have felt the effects of government job cuts more severely than elsewhere because of their small populations. And Iowa has suffered from more foreclosures.

"Best airport sleepover"
28th August 2013, Kamayoq, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
If you have to catch an early flight connection after a late evening arrival, this is the best option... and it's right opposite the KLM lounge with all its services. A good night's rest before a long flight is worth it.
"Great value for intended purpose"
22nd July 2013, DTWByWire, Detroit, Michigan, USA
If you're traveling alone and like to avoid travel hassels, this is a great option.I'm from the U.S. and my company has an office in the Netherlands about 40 minutes outside Schiphol. When I travel home, I like to drop off my rental car and get to the airport the night before to avoid any possible day-of-departure snafus. This hotel is perfect...it allows me to do all these things the night before and provide a stress free morning before the flight home. No shuttles, no taxis. You do have to make an extra round trip through passport control the day of departure if you need to check luggage in the morning, but I've never had to wait more than 4-5 minutes either direction. It's far less painful than taking shuttles from off-airport hotels.The rooms are quite small, but the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and there was plenty of hot water for the shower. Internet access comes with the room and it performed quite satisfactorily. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping right outside the hotel, so you can easily grab something to eat and pick up any last minute items before departure.This is not your place if you like five-star amenities or you're traveling with the family, but for the solo traveller, it's one of the best options for the money.

Hopefully, you guys will work on making the gameplay more smoother to view, because most of the time, the green trapar can blind your screen if you do flips or something... Maybe find a way to hide the particle effects when your camera is too close to it or something.
It can be a bit cool if you can enable a optional fixed camera onto the LFO, so if you flip upside down, your camera is upside down.
I'm pretty good at analyzing games, but I think I also realized that I can't program or model/animate as well because of that (I think i found my weakspot). I'm good at "seeing" it, but I can't really craft it... LOL, maybe this is why computer programmer is boring me... I prefer to test and analyze games over making them (even though I have a ton of ideas in my head).

Noosa may well be the one of the most perfect beach-side towns in the world. A claim that is not only made by its super-rich residents, but also by many of the thousands of people who visit this picturesque Sunshine Coast town on the East Coast.

The main street of the town, Hastings Street, is as cosmopolitan as beach resorts can get with a great mix of shopping, restaurants, cafes, art galleries and luxury hotels.

One of the key elements that has puts Noosa's sensational beach areas in total contrast to the Gold Coast is a population cap of 50,000 and local laws that forbid high rise development. All this has protected Noosa but has also created some of the most beautiful and sought-after (not to mention, expensive) property in the country.

The beach is safe and great for a swim with waves only really picking up during strong winds. The area is also home to a National Park that is easily accessible worth a stroll down to. Noosa also has loads of awesome ice cream shops lining the streets behind the beach.

Noosa is a lunch stop with time for a swim, sightseeing and shopping on many Contiki Tours heading north from our Farmstay or south from Fraser Island.

Luxury sea/sunset-view villa w/poolThailandSurat ThaniBo Phut
About this listing
Space where guests can cook their own meals
Towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper
The Space
This is a luxury 4-bedroom villa with a walled garden, private swimming pool and BBQ area set in a secure development on the northern headland of Koh Samui. It has stunning views across the top of the palms to Big Buddha and across the sea to Bophut and the hills behind. The sunsets will take your breath away.
It's just 10 minutes from the airport and main towns of Chaweng and Bophut. Furthermore, it's just 500m from the stunning Tong Son Bay beach, which is shared with just two other developments, comprising a 5-star hotel with spa and a more traditional Thai-style restaurant and bungalows.
The villa itself is luxuriously appointed with beautiful furniture and artwork. As well as a fully-fitted western kitchen and all the appliances, there are two fridges, one in the kitchen and one near the pool, obviously! There's a 42" flat screen TV with satellite and a home theatre system (with a USB port), and a small library of DVDs, CDs and books. There's free Wi-Fi too.
The master bedroom has a small safe and basic amenities are provided, such as soap, shower gel, coffee, tea, hairdryer, etc. I can arrange for some shopping to be done before you arrive too.
My housekeeper lives nearby, will check you in and out, as well as help you with any potential issues, such as car rental (necessary), where to find the shops, restaurants, etc. I can arrange airport transfers, no problem, just let me know in advance. I've also prepared a brochure too to help you get the best out of your stay here. Furthermore, the maids will clean the villa twice a week, while other staff will take care of the pool and garden.
This is a perfect spot for escaping the hustle and bustle of the towns, and soaking up the sun in this tropical paradise.
PLEASE NOTE: The villa is in a partially completed development and there is occasional construction noise during the day. It's unlikely to impact your stay, but my rates are discounted for this reason.
ADDITIONAL 5th BEDROOM: Please note that there is a separate annex in the garden with an additional air-conditioned double room and bathroom, effectively a fifth bedroom. Hence, the maximum permitted number of guests staying is ten.
CHILDREN- FRIENDLY: Please also note that this villa is a bit more child-friendly than most. There are mosquito screens on the balcony doors from the living room with kiddie-proof locks. Also, access to the private pool is gated. I can arrange cots for kids.
UTILITIES: As with nearly all rental villas in Samui, electricity and water are billed separately. These are expensive in Samui. Running the air conditioners in every room all day and night will run you up a hefty bill, although the position of the villa above the palms looking down to the ocean means there's often a cooling breeze, Furthermore, utility supply on the island is unreliable. However, this villa is fitted with an emergency generator should the mains power cut out, while there are also rainwater tanks to supplement the water supply.
If you need a room in London UK, check out my sister's place....84223
Costs exclude utilities and a security/damage deposit of THB20,000 (the latter either paid through airbnb or in cash to my housekeeper upon check-in). Utilities are based upon usage and will be billed upon check-out.
No more than 10 guests and no sub-letting of rooms.
Guests must have there own insurance, the owner will not accept liability.
Entering a rental agreement with the owner means that the tenants agree to abide by the estate rules. Any breach of these rules may constitute a breach of contract and in extreme circumstances the tenants may be asked to leave. A copy of the estate rules will be made available to you as and when you wish to make a reservation.

"Stargard Szczecinski" Stargard Szczecinski by MD2nd
Stargard Szczecinski Travel Guide: 2 reviews and 9 photos
A big town in the area of Western Pomerania in northern Poland. Stargard Szczecinski is a city that definitively looks less big than it is. In fact it looks pretty provincial it yet has about 70. 000 citizens, and many interesting historic sights. Most eye catching is the town's Gothic built church. What I appreciated while we were travelling through Poland's north, is the fact that there they don't bother with all the profane commercials of nowadays placed on walls, one has to keep up with no matter what.
- Pros:Beautiful surroundings. No profanity on city's walls.
- Cons:Parts really look rotten.
- In a nutshell:Town of many trees and churches.

We report on the development of a new process for the fabrication of Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb tunnel junctions for channel 1 (480-640 GHz) Superconductor-Insulator-Superconductor (SIS) mixers of HIFI, the Heterodyne Instrument for FIRST (Far InfraRed & Submillimeter Telescope). The process is derived from a standard self-aligned lift-off process but uses negative resist electron beam lithography (EBL) for junction definition. The junction area is tightly controlled down to below 1 μm2 without the complexity of processes using positive electron beam resists. We describe process parameters and experimental results: DC-tests and Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) measurements

Thunder notebook: Coach Scott Brooks resorts to bribery to increase assists
Thunder coach Scott Brooks had an offer for his players before Wednesday night's game. Compile at least 20 assists against Houston, and there would be no Thursday practice prior to a 1 p.m. departure to Boston.
The Thunder had a season-high 26 assists in its 116-99 victory over the Rockets.
"Scotty should be saying that a lot," forward Kevin Durant said of potential future deals involving no practice.
"Maybe he should tell us that every game," guard Eric Maynor said.
"I guess we'll see them at the plane," said forward D.J. White, who finished with 12 points and was 5 of 7 from the field.
By shooting 50 percent or better in three of its last four games (all victories), the Thunder has jumped from last in the NBA in field-goal percentage to 17th (.452).
Asked if his team is finally "getting it†by moving the ball around on offense, Brooks said: "I think we always get it. Sometimes we don't always do it. It's important that we figure out ways to be consistently sharing the ball. I really think the last three or four games we've done a better job of that. It makes the (opposing) defense work."
Three-point shooting still needs work, however. The Thunder remains last in 3-point shooting percentage by a comfortable margin (.265).
Even with the 26 assists, the Thunder also ranks last in that category (17.3). Boston leads the league handily at 27.3 assists, which is 3.5 per game more than the Lakers and Utah.
After a season-low nine turnovers against the Rockets (one intentionally in the closing seconds), the Thunder is tied for fifth in the league (13.6). Last season, it tied for 23rd (15.0).
Wednesday was Houston's most lopsided defeat of the season. The previous high was a 13-point loss against Denver, but the Rockets (3-8) trailed by one midway through the fourth quarter. "Sooner or later, they were just going to go ahead because they were playing better," said Houston forward Luis Scola, who had a game-high 26 points.

As San Diego County's economy improves, there's growing risk that "crazy money" from real estate speculators could take prices back into bubble territory, a panel of local business and civic leaders told a packed audience at the Estancia La Jolla resort.
A truly sustainable recovery will depend more on the creation of walkable, bikable neighborhoods than a short-lived influx of cash, the panel said, speaking at a breakfast on Tuesday sponsored by the 6 Degrees San Diego networking firm.
In general, the panelists had an optimistic view of where the economy is heading, with improving real estate prices, office occupancy rates and employment.
"I'm more excited than I've been for the past six or seven years," said David Marino, executive vice president of Hughes Marino. "Chief executives that I talk to say they've gone through the worst of times and now they're excited about where they're going, with growing revenues and plans for more hiring."
Marino -- whose firm represents tenants in negotiations over property leases -- said a recent poll of clients shows that 46 percent plan on expanding the size of their work space by 15 percent or more, compared to fewer than 8 percent who plan on cutting their space by a similar amount.
"That makes me bullish about the economy, since the companies that are expanding into new space today will soon be adding new workers to fill that space," he said.
Jim Spain, regional managing director of Colliers International, a global commercial real estate firm, said San Diego seems to be recovering better than many other areas of the country.
"People feel that San Diego's stable," he said. "And because of its land constraints, it doesn't have the same prospect of becoming overbuilt as places like Las Vegas or Phoenix."
On the other hand, Spain said, the constraints on land use mean prices will eventually increase and draw more speculative development. And Mark McMillin, chief executive of The Corky McMillin Cos., said that in some parts of the county, such as Chula Vista, real estate brokers are already complaining there are not enough homes to sell. And the market will become more constrained over the next two or three years as the county runs out of developable land.
"As things get better, I'd be cautious of crazy money," he said. "When people have money, it's good news. But when people have money that's burning a hole in their pocket and not many good places to invest it, it can cause problems."
Marino agreed, saying one of his biggest concerns about the future "is that when things start getting better again, people might get irrational again."
Jeff Graham, president of Civic San Diego, said if the region hopes to continue growing, it needs to do a better job of retaining young innovative entrepreneurs.
"Some cities in this country are doing a much better job of capturing young people, such as Denver, Austin, Boston, Seattle and Portland," Graham said. "We have excellent institutions of higher learning, but once our students graduate, they leave for other cities."
He suggested that the area should create more incubators for growing tech businesses and create more neighborhoods where people can walk or bike between home and work.
McMillin said San Diego has done a good job of creating residential areas downtown, where people can walk to work. He said the next step should be to create places to work near outlying residential neighborhoods.
"But to get to that world, we have to have people with new vision, with forward-planning," he said.

Several years after Mike Ilitch hired Dave Dombrowski to run Detroit's baseball operations, the new man convinced the Tigers' owner that if he wanted to win, it would cost more money than he had been willing to spend. Ilitch had spent to build his National Hockey League team, the Detroit Red Wings, into a champion, but he hadn't made money available to the Tigers.
When Dombrowski became president of the Tigers in 2001, the team was coming off a season in which its payroll was $49 million, ranking 19th in the major leagues, and its record was 66-96, which was 25th in the majors. This season the Tigers won the American League Central title with an 88-74 record, seventh in the majors, and a $139 million payroll, fifth highest.
Going into Thursday's fourth game of the American League Championship Series, the Tigers were one win from playing in the World Series for the second time in seven years. Given the ammunition to do the job, Dombrowski and manager Jim Leyland have done it.
They have also done a job on the Yankees. The Tigers defeated the Yankees, three games to one, in the division series en route to the World Series in 2006, and they knocked the Yankees out in last year's division series in five games. The Tigers, in fact, have never lost a post-season series to the Yankees.
Their dominance of the Yankees in the first three games of this league championship series was awesome. The Yankees, whose scoring drought began in the division series against Baltimore, scored five runs in the first three games, four of those runs in one inning.
After the Yankees scored seven runs in the opener of the division series, they played four more games, including seven extra innings over two games, and scored a total of only nine runs. That meant they had scored 14 runs in virtually 8 games going into Game 4 in Detroit.
There were, however, even more alarming statistics for the Yankees. More than half of their starting lineup was not hitting, and their playoff numbers go a long way toward explain the lack of runs. These numbers were the players' production going into Game 4:
When all of those players produce those meager numbers, you're going to be in trouble. The Yankees are in trouble.
The team's plight reached a sufficiently dismal level that Manager Joe Girardi decided to take drastic action. Having benched Rodriguez for Game 5 of the division series, he did the same for Game 3 of the league series, putting Swisher on the bench as well.
The lineup changes didn't change the Yankees' fortunes, but when Girardi posted the lineup for Game 4 Wednesday – before it was rained out – Rodriguez again was missing and this time Granderson was to join him in the dugout.
The Yankees who have shown up in October are not the same guys who wore Yankees uniforms the previous six months, the ones who hit the league's most home runs and scored only four fewer runs than league-leading Texas.
These hitless Yankees are not likely victims of a collective slump. They more likely have been undermined by sharp-eyed Detroit scouts. This is a facet of post-season play that is generally overlooked. Contending teams have scouts following other contenders, and one of the keys to winning in October is the quality of the scouting reports and pitchers' ability to execute the scouts' recommendations.
Scouts focus especially on a team's most dangerous hitters, trying to make sure those hitters don't beat them. Teams would rather be beaten by Andy Dirks than Miguel Cabrera.
Rodriguez has often been the target of scouting reports, and he previously has had poor playoff performances. Not that this affects his post-season hitting, but he has become a target of reporters who allow their disdain for him affect their reporting.
Rodriguez's lucrative contract – the Yankees owe him $114 million for the next five years – also invites disdain and negative reporting as if Rodriguez forced the Yankees at gunpoint to give him the $275 million contract.
In a recent piece in The New York Times, Tyler Kepner cites positive aspects of Rodriguez's play – savvy baserunning, ability to draw walks, helpful to young players. Then he adds, "Imagine a player who did all those things, without the outrageous salary."
How does the salary figure in Kepner's assessment? Is he paying part of it?
Kepner, using a new-age statistic, further puts down Rodriguez by reporting that a statistical baseball Web site says that "Rodriguez brought the Yankees just two more wins this season than a replacement player would have." I have as much disdain for that statistic as Kepner has for Rodriguez.
Kepner writes that he sees no evidence of a comeback by Rodriguez next season. Yet two years ago people were writing and saying that Derek Jeter was finished, and look at the season Jeter had this year.
Besides reading his obituaries in the coming winter, Rodriguez will read all of the trade stories. They have already started with reports that he will be traded to the Marlins in his hometown of Miami.
That report made a big splash this week, except it's not true.
The genesis of the story was a conversation Randy Levine, the Yankees' president, had with Jeffrey Loria, the Marlins' owner, when the Yankees were in Miami last April for the opening of the new park.
"It was a joke," said a person who heard the conversation. "Jeffrey said 'A-Rod is from Miami. I wish we had him.' Randy jokingly said 'go ahead and take him.'"
The person said the teams had no subsequent discussion about Rodriguez.

Improving Humanitarian Response to Major Natural Disasters
Sternlieb, Steve, Furbish, Glenn, Stability Operations
Debrief on a decade of disasters
OVER the past decade there have been a number of natural disasters of catastrophic proportions, including Hurricane Katrina, the Indian Ocean tsunami, last year's earthquake in Haiti, and this year's earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The Disasters Emergency Committee, a United Kingdom-based consortium of international NGOs, has warned that the world should expect three to five big urban disasters in the next ten years.
First responders to these disasters have been local and national governments. These responders are on site and in a position to move quickly to save lives. Military forces indigenous to the affected area or from other nations providing assistance often play a key role as well. Following the immediate life-saving response, contractors can also play an important role. As an operation transitions from life saving to recovery and then to rebuilding, contractors can provide tools and abilities that host governments in both developed and less developed countries, as well as NGOs, are not likely to have, such as site clearance, utilities restoration, the repair of existing facilities and new construction.
While in developed countries host governments generally fund the humanitarian response, supplemented by private charitable giving, less developed countries largely depend on the international donor community, characterized by multiple funding streams for multiple purposes. There was an outpouring of charitable donations following the Indian Ocean tsunami and the Haiti earthquake, funneled through a multitude of organizations. While some NGOs backed by this type of funding have at least a limited capability to perform, they must also hire others, whether local day laborers or companies, to provide the needed response.
Years of experience in earlier humanitarian disasters and war-torn nations such as Iraq and Afghanistan provide a cautionary tale of past pitfalls that can and should be avoided as the international and contractor communities work to respond to major disasters. One may look at the response to natural disasters, like the one in Haiti, from these two perspectives - the donor community and the contractor community - in an effort to provide some insights useful for both.
A Donor Community Perspective
We have identified three key factors that the donor community needs to reflect upon when undertaking humanitarian responses.
Task 1: Planning for and executing long-term reconstruction efforts.
While Iraq and Afghanistan are very different from Haiti in many ways, there are a number of lessons that can be learned from the reconstruction efforts there. The Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) has reported that one of the hard lessons learned in Iraq is the need to gear the reconstruction effort toward indigenous priorities. Insulated planning led to projects unwanted by the Iraqi government and unsuitable for the country in general, such as power plants designed to run on liquid propane gas that is not readily available and sophisticated projects beyond the current technical abilities of most Iraqi workers to maintain. This, in turn, has led to the rapid degradation of infrastructure built with U.S. reconstruction dollars. Many of the pitfalls encountered in Iraq are now being encountered in Afghanistan.
With regards to Haiti, this does not mean we should not rebuild with more stringent standards in mind to mitigate future devastation, but it does call for project selection that involves the Haitian government and other Haitian stakeholders and is consistent with the state of development and skills of the Haitian people. It also calls for experienced coordination in project selection among various stakeholders. As in Iraq and Afghanistan, with a mix of individual governments, multilateral organizations and private donor groups, there is a great risk of duplication of effort. For example, the SIGIR identified at least 62 offices and agencies that became involved in managing Iraq reconstruction projects. …

All of that sounds good!
I think whoever has a printer can print up the 1-2 pg thing from Diaper Junction or Cotton Babies or wherever and send it to them, or just email them the link. It has all the how-tos of washing, care, etc. That way they always have something to refer to.
I think maybe we should print it out and include it in the package. I think they are more likely to follow it correctly if they have it printed out for them-some mommas may not have a way to print it. We want to make sure they preserve the diapers so we can continue to use them.

I meant whichever one of us have a printer print it out for them. I don't have one, so someone else would need to do that. But I do think they need a hard copy. But there is SO much info, that a link or two with extra laundry, stink, and care issues would also be helpful.
For anyone that is concerned about the personal nature of FB, there are a few things that you can do. You only have to friend Cat or Nichole (group owners) long enough to get the invite, then once you join the group you can un-friend them. Then you still have the same privacy as you did before, but you have access to the group.
Also, you can create a group such as 'BBC' or something and add your BBC friends to it. Then you can go under your privacy settings and customize it so that the BBC friends can't see your pics or anything. I have done this because I have friends that I don't know but play the same game that I do. This way I can technically be friends with them for game purposes, but they can't see any of my stuff. HTH!

Digging the bulky armor and big circular bits!
Omg its awesome
What I love most about your stuff is how loose and free the lines are. I mean even in finished pieces, everything has such great movement and gesture, and it makes the lines almost relaxing to look at. Love iiiit :'D

Controversial Loss in Califonia to Undefeated Pro and 2012 Olympic Bronze medalist from Ukraine dosen't hurt Boozer at all in fact he just may have impressed the right people at the right time. everyone is saying the fight should have been stopped at least by the 7th. do to the cut caused by a punch. Boozer was ahead going in to the final round an was given a point deduction the fight went to the cards ending in a split decision for Shelestyuk
