Oklahoma City Thunder: James Harden struggles to 16 points, Thunder beats Mavs
WICHITA, Kan. — At this point, we're all reading tea leaves when it comes to figuring out if Thunder reserve guard James Harden will or will not sign a four-year contract extension by next Wednesday's deadline.
Harden is not saying anything about contract talks. General manager Sam Presti absolutely never says anything about negotiations, or much else concerning personnel matters.
Based on Harden's preseason performance, however, perhaps negotiations are weighing heavily on his mind.
Harden finished with 16 points in Wednesday night's 88-76 victory against the Dallas Mavericks before a record crowd of 15,004 at Intrust Bank Arena, but he continued to struggle with the velvet shooting stroke that made him a near-unanimous choice as NBA Sixth Man of the Year last season.
Harden made his first three shots from the field in this preseason finale, then missed his next five, which included a missed a dunk off an alley-oop pass from Russell Westbrook just before the halftime buzzer.
Harden finished 6 for 15 from the field and 2 for 7 from 3-point range.
This came after an atrocious shooting performance the night before, going 2 for 17 from the field in a 94-89 loss against Chicago at the United Center. To be fair, the league's best defense ganged up on Harden with Kevin Durant and Westbrook resting on the bench all night.
Harden finished the preseason 16 for 56 (. 286) from the floor and 5 for 20 (. 250) from 3-point range. Combine that with the 18 for 48 (7 for 22 on 3s) he shot against Miami in the NBA Finals and that's 32.7 percent from the field and 28.6 percent on 3s in his last 10 outings.
Brooks was stunned when told Harden's percentages, but didn't seem concerned.
"I think every player will have a stretch of games where you don't shoot the ball well, and you want it to be in the preseason if anything," Brooks said. "We know what James does, we know what he brings and we know the work that he puts in. It's all going to round itself out. He hasn't shot the ball well in the preseason, but you know he definitely will figure it out. We know what he's done in the past and that's all we can base it on."
What does all this have to do with Harden's contract negotiations?
Perhaps nothing.
Perhaps everything.
Recent Thunder history has shown a player's prowess on the court directly coincides with signing a new deal.
The Thunder announced on Jan. 19 that Westbrook had signed a five-year extension last season. In the week before the announcement, Westbrook averaged 27.0 points, 6.0 assists, 5.6 rebounds, shot 52.1 percent from the field and 41.7 percent on 3-pointers. He was then named NBA Player of the Week for Jan. 23-29 and again for Feb. 6-12.
Did this have anything to do with Westbrook basking in his new $73.5-million deal? (Um, yeah.) Suffice to say, Westbrook wasn't depressed at that time.
OKC signed power forward Serge Ibaka in August to a four-year, $49-million extension (plus incentives).
Ibaka just had a monster preseason, leading the Thunder in scoring (16.0) and rebounding (7.3). He also shot 58.6 percent from the field and 57.1 percent from 3-point range.
Does Brooks think the contract has become a distraction for Harden?
"He hasn't ever given me any indication that is even a factor," Brooks said. "He's never brought it up. I think James has a lot more improvement to be made in his game, and that's our focus."

I started my Ls and white smoke came from the exhaust tail pipes in the rear for the first time ever. I have a 3.9L which I turned off immediately. The oil level was low on the dip stick barely reading oil measure. I was wondering if that could cause the smoke and if not then what?

I understand that for assets like meshes and levels that are loaded/parsed the same way I can use one function to open up a file handle, then pass it on to the different asset loaders to be parsed and stored. However, when I start loading assets like a .dds texture which is easiest done with a graphics library call, is there a way to set up the asset pipeline such that it can use the same function? Or is there no way around the problem, and I need to set up a different way to load assets like these? I really don't like this approach because then I'd have to manage the different types of loading so that the asset loader now know about different types of assets.
It would really be of help if someone could link to some source code that has an asset loader like this implemented so I could see how it works.
My basic goals for the framework:
I'm only worried about having it work on windows
I'm only worried about using directX
I want to stream in world blocks to have a straight continuous level with branches
I want to have flexibility to experiment with shaders

I avoided the older version of this jack (67597) due to its bad reviews. But then i saw this model and from what I can tell, it's an updated unit. So I took the risk of getting it (was on sale and used a 25% off thing I clicked out of newspaper, came out to about one O eight) and so far am very happy with it for the price. Super easy to install. No issues with the foot rest, can retract it fully to the STOP line with foot fully inserted.The unit is not noisy, either under load or not. It's very strong and has no issue with my 6000 pound travel trailer. It was super easy to hook up and included a fuse (although it didn't come with any crimp connectors).I'm still concerned about water getting into it, mostly due to the design of the top where the screw holes can fill with water. But for this price, I don't mind either sealing up screw holes or just keeping a simple cover on it.Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because of the lights. Maybe if its completly dark out they might be better than nothing, but otherwise they are usless. I swapped out the bulbs with some incandesant bulbs.

Thought this was going to be the greatest but not so. I buy a lot of items from Harbor Freight and most are all excellent not so with this one. Had this a year before I got to install it so the warranty was up. Used it two times the first season and when we went to use it the next spring the fuse was blown. After replacing the fuse, still dead. Found that water seeped into the head unit and rusted and shorted the switch and motor. If you buy this one be sure to purchase the extended warranty to the max allowable and make some kind of cover for the motor unit on the top of the jack.

I installed it on my 2016 Coleman Travel Trailer, at my age I am sick of manual jacks.I hooked the TT up to the truck, removed the old jack and this one bolted right up. I changed the inline glass fuse for an nline modern fuse, It does not come with an off /on switch so I installed a toggle switch in the TT battery box, hooke the leads up and it is working great.

Great for the price
By Lstntme
from Florida
I replaced broken jack on my camper.Took about 10 minutes. I first priced the same load jack at a national camping supply store at $195.00 Harbor Freight was almost $50.00 cheaper ( same identical jack different brand name) with a 20% coupon the price was really unbeatable. Works great and makes hook-up and leveling a snap.
Does exactly what is needed
By APP
My trailer is relatively light - 450 lb tongue weight, and this jack is geared so low that it just loafs, motor does not get warm even on a full rise.Some of the specs need a bit of explination: the stroke of the electric jack seems to be 18" max, plus mine has an adjustable foot with about 6" of adjustment. Taken together you get the 8.5" to 31.5" range. Note: the manual does not show the adjustable foot.The barrel of my jack is 2.20" and had to open the lower hole on my trailer tongue to 2.25 (was 2") I used a HF "bimetal" hole saw kit with a 2" chucked inside the 2 1/4" so the 2" acted as a guide. It worked for me.Wiring is a single 12v wire and with a 450lb tongue weight I am seeing about a 6A peak draw.That accomplished I usually run mine with a jump box and has no problem though full stroke does take a while.Might mention that I have seen reviews saying the box is not waterproof and it does tend to rain a bit here (about 55"/year) so I have a tough plastic bag bungeed over the head to keep the rain off and operate the switch throgh the bag.So in all it works as expected. Just be patient.
Works Great on My 33ft pull behind rv. Plenty of power.

Fright Night Remake Photos
New Fright Night photos starring Anton Yelchin. Will Farrell to play of favorite next door Vampire.
Fright Night hits theaters August 19th and you can checkout the new stills below. Senior Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all—he's running with the popular crowd and dating the hottest girl in high school. In fact, he's so cool he's even dissing his best friend Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But trouble arrives when an intriguing stranger Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there's something not quite right—and everyone, including Charlie's mom (Toni Collette), doesn't notice.
After witnessing some very unusual activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on his neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone that he's telling the truth, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself in this Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the comedy-horror classic.

Reporting agent version
Would it be possible to report the agent version on all known (or a selection of) servers/machine's in the domain/attached computers to backupexec. Now you need to manually browse to the machine, select properties, & then note the version. Its not possible to run a query that does this for you.
As an additional idea; when the above is implemented, an option after you get this report to upgrade all or a selection of machine's with the agent version you want (selection of the agent versions found would be nice, + the newest if there's a newer version that the ones installed)
i got a callback from an engineer from Symantec specifically asking me to make this request, since he dug around & could not find it, & he agreed this was a handy feature.

Why can't I use any cellular modem as a drop-in dial-up modem replacement?
Most cellular networks use a different type of technology that isn't compatible with dial-up analog systems. Our Whitepaper explains in detail the how's and why's but the high level answer is that most cellular data networks are packet based, rely on IP addresses, and are client/server whereas dial-up systems are peer-to-peer direct connection and rely on phone numbers which normally cannot communicate without additional hardware and/or software that could complicate how a solution works.
USRobotics does offer a unique solution that emulates a dial-up modem over a cellular connection that can allow a true drop-in solution. See the USRobotics Courier® Modemulator™ & Cellular Gateway for more information.
Learn more with the Cellular to Cellular Data Communications White Paper
How much can I expect to save by replacing analog modems with cellular modems or gateways?
The cost of analog phone lines is on average $50 per month per line in North America. Cellular services when pooled can provide even greater cost savings with small data packages and low data volumes. The cost savings increase as the volume goes up, whereas the dial-up monthly expenses are consistent but pricey.
Can I use the SIM from my phone for a cellular modem or gateway?
Possibly. Depending on how your SIM is provisioned, it may allow a cellular modem or gateway to originate a connection to the IP address of a TCP/IP server on the Internet. If your SIM does work, you won't have M2M features like static IP address, data pooling, peer-to-peer routing, or host-to-device VPN.
Can I connect to the IP address reported by the USR3500?
When the cellular service is provided by a Mobile Network Operator (MNO), the IP address reported by the USR3500 AT$IP command may be public and routable. Normally this IP address provided by the MNO will be dynamic so it will change periodically, and the MNO may block access to this IP address with a firewall.
When the cellular service is provided by a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), the IP address reported by the USR3500 AT$IP command is not public and routable. The reported IP address is used only by the MVNO to contact the cellular network. The MVNO will translate the IP address using Network Address Translation (NAT) and provide you with a different routable IP address. The USR3500 cannot report that IP address. The MVNO will control whether your IP address is private or public, and static or dynamic.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D How do I import 3d models with textures from blender 2.65 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=60504&th=12491#msg_60504 <![CDATA[ http://www.shapeways.com/model/508710/s-c-horses-dj.html?li= productBox-search
 I was wondering how I could import 3d color models to shape way like this using blender 2.65 when I import there are no colors.]]> JohnSmith123 2013-01-22T13:42:42-00:00 Re: How do I import 3d models with textures from blender 2.65 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=60509&th=12491#msg_60509 <![CDATA[To get a model printed in color, first you have 3 options with Blender, diffuse material color, vertex color, and a UV texture assigned to a map.
 Remember that there are only a few file formats that SW accepts color info from for Full Color Sandstone, the only material you can get color on. X3D exports from Blender work well for uploading.
 If you have a UV mapping going on, before you upload select the texture and export file at the same time,compress both of them in a
 single zip file. Upload the zipped file to SW.
 You will have to do some scaling to your model,before uploading. For color printing a Blender unit is regarded as a meter at SW. So they will try to print the default 2x2 cube at 2 meters by 2 meters.Which is impossible for the printer.
 1 workaround is to determine the printed dimensions you want. Say you want the default cube to be printed at 2cm x 2cm.Just set unit measurement in scene data to meter. (instead of just 2 for the three dimension values, it now is 2m.)Then in the N panel, replace the three dimension values with 2cm. Notice it gets scaled down. To show why it works, in scene panel now change it from Meter to None. The dimensions change to .02. each. So now when you upload the file, it gets printed at .02m cubed when you select Meter at upload. .02m=20mm=2cm. Apply scale now . CTRL A, and export. Or just scale the model by .001 and apply scale, export.
 If you downloaded the model,and the texture was packed in a Blend File, it will need to be unpacked, then follow the highlighted steps.

Change it into a jpeg, then in the uv image editor replace the png with it.(on the UV image panel, click IMAGE, open the jpeg). There are 5 seperate meshes. You will have to select each one in object mode, go into edit mode, select all verts. That UV map should me highlighted in image editor. Now click the icon to the right of image, scroll to the name of the jpeg.The new texture image will be seen. Repeat for the rest of the meshes. Looks like you also have leaves on another layer. Do not forget about them.
 Now to properly apply the UV's to make SW happy. Select the head/main stem in object mode. In property panel, select texture icon, scroll down you will see plant color map png. under IMAGE. Browse again with the icon to the names left until the jpeg is selected. Make sure mapping is set to UV.

 With the armatures and shapekeys in the model, pose it to your hearts content. Delete the two shapekeys you do not want. Whether closed, open or smiling. The shapekey does pose a problem with applying the subsurface mod. That is under experimentation.

 Last steps will be your decision for size for printing. I just uploaded the mesh with a blender unit dimensions to be printed in cm Scaled the model by .01., chose meter at upload.it is about 5cm tall to get printed.(Was a test)

 A good free program to download is Meshlab. If it shows a texture on a x3d file, it will show up at SW's.

If I open it up the x3d in Meshlab it looks fine, any ideas? Can you please take a look at my file, thanks!]]> summoner 2015-06-14T07:00:33-00:00 Re: How do I import 3d models with textures from blender 2.65 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=117322&th=12491#msg_117322 <![CDATA[You need to drop the transparency from the material information. Not sure how/where to do this in Blender, but you can also open the x3d in a text editor, find the "transparency" entry on the "Material" declaration and change its value to 0.0 - or perhaps even better,remove the entire "Material"
 section from "<Material" to the closing "/>" as it adds its base color (white) to the texture, making it lighter.]]> mkroeker 2015-06-14T08:27:48-00:00

The Wakulla County Sheriff's Office investigated two brush fires and a shed fire on Feb. 12. Two of the fires created property damage, according to Sheriff David Harvey.
Sheriff Harvey reminded residents to be careful of fire during the colder, drier winter months when grass and other brush are much more susceptible to burn.
The first brush fire was reported on Glover Lane in Crawfordville. The fire consumed a five acre area and burned property owned by James L. Harvey. The fire burned an inoperable motor home and matting used to create earth worm beds. The items were valued at $2,500.
The Wakulla County Fire Department arrived on the scene and put out the blaze. It was determined that the fire originated at a burn pile on a neighboring property. The case investigation was turned over to the Florida Division of Forestry. Deputy Charles Porter investigated.
The second fire involved three juveniles, ages 13, 13 and 15, who were walking to Wal-Mart when they tossed some firecrackers on a lot at 1885 Crawfordville Highway. The juveniles walked 100 yards and realized the grass caught fire and contacted the sheriff's office after not being able to control the blaze.
The Wakulla Fire Department arrived and put out the fire but a fence suffered some burn damage. A Talquin Electric utility box escaped undamaged. Deputy Cole Wells investigated.
The structure fire was reported by Paul Francis Russo of Robins Nest Lane in Crawfordville. Deputy Sean Wheeler observed the victim and a female companion attempting to put the shed fire out with a garden hose. They rescued some tools from the outside of the fully engulfed shed and the fire department put out the blaze. The damage to the shed and tools inside was valued at $30,500. The state Fire Marshal and the Criminal Investigations Division were contacted to continue the investigation and attempt to determine a cause.

residents to fire
A baby's coughing alerted residents inside a West Seattle house to a fire Tuesday morning, and all occupants managed to escape unhurt.
Shortly before 5 a.m., a fire started at the single-family house in the 6700 block of 15th Avenue Southwest, said Seattle Fire Department spokeswoman Helen Fitzpatrick.

Eight people living in the house were all asleep. When the baby started coughing, that "woke them up," Fitzpatrick said. "That's how they found out about the fire."
When firefighters arrived, flames were coming from one of the rooms, but they were put out quickly, she said.
Medics evaluated the baby, who was "doing just fine." There were no other injuries.
Investigators determined that it was an accidental fire caused by an unattended candle, said department spokeswoman Dana Vander Houwen. Damage was estimated at $150,000, with $100,000 for the structure, and $50,000 for the contents, she said.
Sturgis, S.D.
5 plead not guilty to weapons charges
A Seattle police detective and four other members of the Iron Pigs, a motorcycle club made up of law officers and firefighters, pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor weapons charges Tuesday in Meade County Circuit Court in Sturgis.
The charges stem from an Aug. 9 shooting that wounded a Hells Angels member during a brawl at the Loud American Roadhouse during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
The five are 38-year-old Scott Lazalde of Bellingham; 58-year-old Dennis McCoy of Seattle; 44-year-old James Rector of Ferndale, Whatcom County; Erik Pingel of Aurora, Colo.; and detective Ron Smith of Seattle. They were off duty during the rally.
Joseph Patrick McGuire of Imperial Beach, Calif., was hospitalized for about three weeks after the shooting and faces alternate counts of aggravated and simple assault.
Smith was also originally charged with two felonies, aggravated assault and perjury, but those charges were dropped.
Man charged in fatal hit-and-run
Pierce County prosecutors have filed charges against a man suspected of killing a bicyclist in a Puyallup hit-and-run a week ago.
Blair Jensen, 23, is charged with vehicular homicide and failure to remain at the scene of a fatal accident.
Police believe Jensen was driving his Cadillac when he hit Sumner resident John McRae, 51, and then fled. Jensen turned himself in to police last week after news media broadcast pictures of him and his girlfriend, Christina Ripple, and McRae's family made an emotional plea.
Jensen is being held at Pierce County Jail on $485,000 bail.
Ripple, 20, has been charged with rendering criminal assistance.
Jury finds against spiritual teacher
An Olympia jury has sided with Ramtha School founder JZ Knight in her breach-of-contract lawsuit against another spiritual teacher called Whitewind Weaver.
Thurston County Superior Court jurors deliberated less than two hours Monday before awarding a little more than $10,000 to Knight. That's the amount Weaver's company, Life Coaching, received from an August 2006 seminar where the contract violations occurred.
After watching video clips of Ramtha's School of Enlightenment seminars chosen to go with those at Weaver's seminar, jurors decided that Weaver violated terms of the Yelm-based school's registration certificate, which says the school's teachings are for students' personal use only.
Pierce County
Man, 91, accused of killing caregiver
A 91-year-old man is accused of shooting and killing his caregiver at a group home in University Place.
Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer says the 38-year-old man was preparing to take the older man to a medical appointment Tuesday when he pulled out the gun.
The victim was taken to St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma, where he died.
He worked part time at the home, which is owned by his parents. The 91-year-old had lived since December at the home, along with four other patients.
Mail-fraud charges against ex-legislator
Former state lawmaker Paul King was arrested Monday on charges of mail fraud.
King, who as a Democrat represented the 44th District from 1983 to 1989, was indicted by a federal grand jury last month.
In the indictment, King is accused of submitting a business plan to the state Department of Licensing, falsely claiming he was an employee and then applying for unemployment benefits. Between November 2004 and May 2005, King was paid more than $12,200, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
King also filed on behalf of his former domestic partner's daughter, who was paid more than $12,800 to which she was not entitled between January and July 2005, according to the indictment.
In June 2005, King sent Washington State Employment Security a check for $12,480 to refund the money, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
Mail fraud is punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
King is being held at a federal detention center pending a Thursday hearing at U.S. District Court in Seattle.
King is an attorney practicing in Snohomish and King counties.
School Board OKs teachers contract
The Bellevue School Board unanimously approved its new three-year contract with the teachers union at its Tuesday night meeting.
The new contract agreement, which gives teachers a 5 percent raise and more flexibility in adapting standardized lessons, came after a nine-day strike.
Port Angeles
Phone worker's death investigated
The state Department of Labor and Industries is investigating the death of a phone-company subcontractor who fell to his death from a cell tower in Port Angeles.
Police say 40-year-old Jeremy Combs of Bonney Lake was about 40 feet up the tower on top of the Elks building on Friday when he fell.
Center for Wooden Boats to stay put
The Center for Wooden Boats will retain its location on the Lake Union waterfront under a new lease agreement with the state Department of Natural Resources.
The five-year lease allows the center to continue displaying wooden boats and hosting floating workshops at Waterway No. 4.
The center's partnership with the Department of Natural Resources, which oversees many of Washington's beaches and lake beds, was announced Monday evening.
"Many of these hand-tooled boats at the center are gems, and being able to view, rent and experience these craft is such a great public service," said Commissioner of Public Lands Doug Sutherland in a news release.

The CLM's flagship program, MealTime Point Of Sale, is a point of sale software meal accountability system - one which is utilized daily in thousands of schools nationwide. MealTime POS fills 2 critical needs for school districts. It is a point of sale terminal system for your K-12 school cafeterias and a "Central Office" reporting tool for your food service staff.
Since lunch programs differ from school to school, even within a district MealTime can be scaled to fit each cafeteria individually. The MealTime information for each school can be automatically uploaded to the
district office
, providing a full 360-degree view of meal and financial data from the whole school district. From elementary schools with just one serving line to secondary schools that serve meals and a la carte items to thousands of students, MealTime provides you with a creative and cost-effective solution and 100% meal accountability at each site.
Using MealTime's point of sale terminals, students purchase their meals with cash or with their pre-paid debit accounts using either barcode IDs, rosters or by entering their pin numbers on a numeric keypad. The Point of Sale features inside of MealTime were designed to be powerful, flexible and easy regardless of the school settings. MealTime can be used on a variety of devices so schools can choose the method that suits them the best. These devices include a personal computer,
a touch screen
, a point of sale terminal or a hand-held computer. These can be used in conjunction with many combinations of peripherals, such as numeric keypads and barcode scanners. Additional devices such as cash drawers, weigh scales and pole displays are available.
The entry screens are designed to be customizable and easy to use. Among other things, you can change the color, font and text size of the keys, while defining them to any food items. Mealtime displays students' names and photos during every transaction, at every terminal, empowering your staff to easily verify each student. Yet MealTime protects students' confidentiality by treating every student in exactly the same way, regardless of their
Free or Reduced eligibility status
. Simple intuitive tools, such as diet restrictions and shared household accounts, allows your staff to respond to parental requests and enforce district policies - while still getting students through the lunch lines as quickly as possible. MealTime maintains a detailed record of every deposit, every payment, every meal and a la carte sale, providing 100% meal and financial accountability throughout the district's school lunch program. Information about the transaction and student is easily seen and yet the free/reduced status of the student is kept completely anonymous.
One of MealTime's most powerful features is the variety and depth of reports that are available. Reports that show student information, sales, inventory, transaction information and every other aspect of food service are available. Since all reports can be exported for your use in outside accounting methods or even emailed, MealTime is an exceptionally powerful reporting tool. MealTime's Central Office reporting tools gives you a simple, up to the minute view of all sales and meal activity, including historical data for every student. The CLM Group developed MealTime in conjunction with a major metropolitan schools district. MealTime has intuitive, point-and-click reports that are responsive to parents, students, school business officials and the government reimbursement program. With thousands of schools throughout the nation utilizing MealTime everyday, you can be confident that the CLM Group is constantly enhancing our software and hardware to meet the requirements of K-12 public school meal programs point of sale software

We are so glad we decided to go the route of getting a wedding planner, and Dawn was really fantastic. Originally my mom planned on doing all the work, but it quickly got overwhelming. We met with Dawn and within 2 months, we had all of our major vendors picked. We actually... Read More even had several months of downtime because we were able to be so productive right off the bat. She was very responsive and available to answer even our dumbest questions. However, I think the biggest testimony I could give is that the day of our wedding, everything was in place, everything was beautiful, we had no little chores to do, and absolutely nothing went wrong; even down to the weather, Dawn had it on lock down! From a different perspective, all of the vendors we went with seemed very familiar with Dawn and really respected her. They seemed a little calmer knowing that she was running the show.
Dawn Walker from The Wedding Authority was our Day of Coordinator and I, as well as my mother, sisters, and husband, could not be more pleased!! The entire process with Dawn from the planning, to the rehearsal, to the day of was just more than I could have ever hoped for. Dawn... Read More was sure to capture every detail leading up to the big day and made every, minor detail perfect on the day of. I am positive Dawn did way more behind the scenes than I could have ever imagined. For instance, the lighting I had bought for the table settings as the reception did not end up working and she had a back up plan and was able to get it all together without me even knowing until after the wedding (and it looked absolutely phenomenal). She was a very valuable asset to our wedding day as she helped decorate, get everyone where they needed to be (on time), and made sure that my family and I were completely stress free on wedding day. If she can coordinate a wedding in St. Augustine while the 450th Anniversary of St. Augustine was going on in the background, I am positive she could coordinate anyone's wedding. Dawn is worth any value! She even had an emergency tide-to-go pen when I spilled on my dress AND an emergency sewing kit when my bustle broke. She is incredible and we highly recommend her to any bride and groom!!
day-of-coordinationReviewed on 1/26/2014 Chelle S
We were so happy with Dawn and the team at the Wedding Authority. Dawn made our day seem effortless and stress free. I'm pretty sure she's a mind reader, as she anticipated our every need!
Absolutely the best in the business! Everything went more smoothly than I ever could have dreamed. Every detail was attended to and both Ashley and Carla were very responsive. I never felt any stress from the earliest planning stages all the way thru the reception.
If you are planning to make St. Augustine your wedding destination, then look no further for your wedding planner! My mother and I had the opportunity to work with Dawn Walker, who is absolutely AMAZING! Our wedding would not have ran as smoothly as it did if it wasn't for... Read More her expertise. My husband and I were able to actually stop a few times and cherish all the special moments throughout the night because it flowed so well. All night long our guests were telling us how beautiful the ceremony was and how much fun they were having during the reception. Dawn was such a pleasure to work with and collaborates so well with the other vendors in St. Augustine. Also, she did a fantastic job putting up with our crazy bridal party! That was a job in itself! I feel so thankful and blessed to have had Dawn be a part of our special day. :)
I can not begin to tell you how pleased we were having Dawn Walker, of The Wedding Authority, as our wedding planner. We live in Jacksonville,but with the wedding in St. Augustine we counted on Dawn for so many things (probably more than was in her job description)!! She is... Read More organized, thorough, calm and most importantly to me (the mom) she genuinely Cares!! Every detail was carried out to perfection! She handles things you wouldn't even think of until it might be too late. Dawn is the ultimate professional, yet you feel like she is family!!!
I live in Atlanta, but had my wedding in St. Augustine. As a bride, this a HUGE recipe for stress. But with Dawn Walker I could not have been in better hands. She was kind, organized and always responsive. Her vendor recommendations were 100% spot on. During my wedding weekend,... Read More no one could believe how calm I was--but that was all thanks to Dawn! She had a back up plan for rain, kept my groomsmen in line, and even made sure my flowers showed up at the right place (after I told them to go somewhere else). At my reception, my eyelash came unglued and EVEN then she quickly remedied the situation. Dawn is nothing short of amazing! You will not be disappointed having her as your wedding planner!!
Helped make the bride's dreams come true..Reviewed on 3/19/2015 Elena P
Carla was was sweet and patient in dealing with us planning a wedding from out of state. We wanted to have a small,intimate, yet elegant wedding for our daughter. Rev. Young did the ceremony like he had known the couple for years. Everyone commented on how lovely the chapel... Read More and surroundings were. I cannot thank them enough for being so flexible. It was all that we hoped for.
So beautiful & Carla was fantastic!Reviewed on 4/10/2014 Kristen M
Carla at The Wedding Authority was very professional, easy-going, and a delight to work with. She took the time to explain the ceremony process to the bridal party, and accommodated our guests very well on our special day. She stuck to our schedule and made several helpful... Read More suggestions in the planning process. She had solid back-up plans in case it rained. The Lightner Museum courtyard is absolutely gorgeous. We would definitely recommend her and The Wedding Authority!

Wonderful place to get married!
The day of my dreams!Reviewed on 8/01/2013 Tracy S
Bill, Carla and Dawn are WONDERFUL to work with! Dawn is a great calming force who remembers EVERY detail. I really thought it was too much to remember but she is organized and get everything done perfectly! We also used the Amore Chapel and Bill was our officiant. The chapel... Read More was perfect and Bill was AMAZING. I could not have been blessed with a better team than The Wedding Authority. Thank you for such a wonderful wedding!
Dawn Walker is WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!Reviewed on 7/23/2013 Brandy G
I am a future bride (wedding in May 2014). I haven't even gotten to the nitty gritty with my wedding planning yet, but in the short time we have employed Dawn's Services (@ The Wedding Authority), we have been nothing short of blown away. I cannot wait to get to the actual... Read More wedding day, because I know there will be nothing to worry about and me and my wedding party can rest at ease knowing everything will be taken care of, to the very last detail. I cannot say enough about how amazing this lady is! No offense to any other coordinators out there, but I would highly recommend you ask for her personally, as I would not have ANYONE ELSE tending to my wedding business. WE LOVE DAWN!!!! -Brandy (Jax Bride, 2014)
Carla is great!Reviewed on 5/26/2013 Patrick m
Carla was so helpful and an amazing wedding planner! She went above and beyond to make our special day great!
Nothing but the Best!Reviewed on 12/11/2012 Chantel D
When I began the wedding planning process, I knew I was going to need someone that would listen to my ideas and help make my vision come to life. I researched companies online and read reviews and was extremely impressed with The Wedding Authority. Upon setting up an... Read More appointment and meeting Dawn Walker, I was blown away by how quickly we meshed and I knew I had to work with her. Dawn is the sweetest southern belle you will ever meet and she is has a God given talent to plan weddings. It was because of her that our wedding was flawless! I truly couldn't image things being any more perfect than they were. She is the best package: a kind-hearted individual and a rock star wedding planner. I highly recommend The Wedding Authority and specifically Dawn to anyone! Thank you again Dawn for all of the time and devotion you put toward making our wedding a fairytale. I still can't believe at how amazing everything turned out. You are extremely talented at what you do and a pleasure to work with.
CoordinatorReviewed on 11/20/2012 Robbin G
I must say the day of the wedding they where on there game. But if you have a vision you need to make sure you stay on the details otherwise things will get dropped.
Best brand of wedding ceremony glue !Reviewed on 11/05/2012 Jennifer d
We had the ceremony at the Lightner Courtyard on the bridge, it was a interfaith ceremony, featuring a Rabbi and a Reverend, an uneven amount of groomsmen and bridesmaids, a little support animal in a dress and a few physically challenged fathers and a nervous groom and bride... Read More with little coordination and the beginning of shoe pain. Fortunately, we had Carla who is best described as the extremely important sticky stuff on the envelope of wedding ceremonies. She stuffed all my hard wedding planning work and totally sealed the deal ! I wish I could explain to you how she did it other than she is the best brand of wedding glue and it turned out incredible !
Great Service!Reviewed on 10/22/2012 Chelsea S
Barbara was very hepful in scheduling appointments with vendors as I was an out of town bride. Day of she was invaluable! She kept everything on time and all I had to do was dance the night away!
Exceptional Person and VendorReviewed on 10/08/2012 Claxton S
Our daughter and her husband had a beach "Destination Wedding" at st Augustine. We were on a tight budget and contracted with Dawn at the Wedding Authority for a very modest level of assistance. Dawn went far "above and beyond" the call of duty. She played a major role in... Read More making the wedding a really SPECTACULAR EVENT. We could not have done it without her help. She was exceptionally professional, incredibly organized and a genuine pleasure to deal with. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND DAWN and The Wedding Authority,
The cost is DEFINITELY worth it!Reviewed on 9/19/2012 Betsy R
The Wedding Authority office is located right in the venue we chose to use, the Lightner Museum. Our wedding planner, Dawn, made every detail go so smoothly the day of the wedding. I don't know how we would have managed without her. We had originally planned to do the wedding... Read More ourselves without a planner but in hindsight that would have been so stressful and would have impaired my memories of that day! We had a destination wedding, so having someone there on the ground stopped me from losing my mind! Dawn knew all of the vendors in the area and recommended the ones she thought best fit what I told her I was seeking. The load of pressure that she absorbed for us on the day made every penny we spent worth it! It took her a bit to get used to our "get it done now" attitude (we were finalizing details 8 months before the wedding) so at first she was a bit slow in responding to emails, but she adjusted quickly once we spoke with her about it and it was smooth sailing from there! We will forever love Dawn for all her help.
Fairytale Wedding at the Lightner MuseumReviewed on 8/28/2012 Lynne S
Words cannot describe how amazing Dawn, with the Wedding Authority was. She was definitely the key to making our wedding day a day to remember!!!! She was well-organized and provided the comfort and guidance that we needed. Our St. Augustine wedding was a "destination wedding"... Read More as I live in Cocoa Beach and my family is all in Atlanta, so it was very difficult for us to plan and handle things from there. Dawn's attention to all the details gave us the fairytale wedding we had dreamed of!! No detail was too small for her to handle. (I had a lemonade stand for guests as they came in, and she even took care of making sure that was all set up.) She was there throughout the reception until the last guest had left – handling everything from helping to seat the guests all the way through – even making sure our horse and carriage was on time for us to leave. Using the Wedding Authority as our planning service allowed my husband and I and our parents to have a stress free day. My mother was able to spend the day with me, never once having to worry about or handle any of the details. Dawn was with me throughout the entire wedding process and I can honestly say I don't know what I would have done without her. I truly believe that she was as excited about our wedding as we were!
Love them!!!Reviewed on 7/10/2012 Sheila M
I had Dawn as my wedding coordinator and I love her! She was fantastic and made sure I was on top of everything I needed to do. She set up all of my vendor appointments for me, and did all of the "dirty work". My wedding was flawless and literally everything I wanted. Dawn is a... Read More majority of the reason it went so well. She is super sweet, and made sure to keep in touch over the year we were in contact, before the wedding. She even had a gift bag for my bridesmaids and me the morning of the wedding. Little gestures like that make it really special. Honestly I am a little sad that the wedding is over because now I don't have a reason to talk to Dawn! The package deal that I did through the Wedding Authority was a great deal! My wedding wouldn't have been nearly as wonderful if I hadn't had the Wedding Authority and Dawn!
Lifesavers!Reviewed on 6/18/2012 Jennifer G
The people at The Wedding Authority made my life (and my mother's) so much easier! They were there with us every step of the way and helped to recommend our caterer, cake artist, DJ, and officiant. During the wedding, Barbara and Karla were there to ease my nerves and made sure... Read More all of the wedding party knew what they were supposed to do. They kept the ceremony flowing perfectly and took care of everything so my family and I could enjoy the wedding. Barbara made sure my husband and I had appetizers waiting for us after we took the photos. These ladies are wonderful and I would recommend them to everyone!
We Love Rev. Bill Young!Reviewed on 3/31/2012 Emily B
We used Reverend Bill Young for our wedding day and he is so wonderful! The minute we met reverend Bill, we felt like we had known him for years. He is so easy to talk to and immediately puts you at ease. On the day of our wedding he was fabulous and really made the wedding feel... Read More so personal and intimate. He put us at ease and made sure we were comfortable every step along the way. He is truly an amazing man and Reverend and we are so happy that we found him for our wedding. We would HIGHLY recommend him to any and everyone!
Reverend Bill Young was awesome!Reviewed on 1/08/2012 Amy R
I'm not sure about the other services that the Wedding Authority provides, but Reverend Bill Young was so genuine and wonderful! He has a beautiful ceremony that he typically uses, but was very open to additions and modifications. Our guests all commented on how beautiful and... Read More heartfelt the ceremony was. I definitely recommend the rehearsal the night before!
Bill was fantastic!Reviewed on 11/18/2011 Jennifer C
I chose to have my ceremony at the Lightner Museum courtyard and in doing so, was introduced to The Wedding Authority. They specialize in weddings around the St. Augustine area. We could have chosen our own officiant, or go with the one that the Wedding Authority provides. After... Read More meeting with Bill Young, there was no doubt in our minds that we would choose him to conduct our ceremony. He lightened the mood, conducted with grace, and left everyone feeling content. I definitely recommend this vendor.

It's almost time for takeoff, and the excitement of joining the crowd at Sydney has started to make itself seen on the streets of Perth through the pilgrims.
Just image it … Perth is quite a sleepy city … people are generally home by about 6 in the evening and the activity in the city centre is pretty low key to say the least, most people are there to shop anyway, and just want to go about their purchasing with as little fuss as possible. When you catch the train, 90 percent of people have their ipods jammed into their ears, and you can pick out the sounds of guitars and heavy drums from the noise that escapes the earphones. No sounds of "hello" though, unless you're old friends.
But these last few days you'd be forgiven for being mistaken and thinking that you were somewhere in South America. On the train to the commissioning Mass, the doors opened at the station and 35 Spaniards trooped in, singing loud, telling the commuters through their songs and celebrations that they were on their way to Mass-and pretty happy about it.
People trickled in, the seats filled up and Mass began with the theme song of Cologne WYD "Jesus Christ You Are My Life". Smiles flickered across the faces of some of the congregation, obviously WYD is somewhat addictive and people have come here for more of the same of what they got three years ago. And then … they walked up the aisle … archbishops, bishops, priests from all over the world … led by my friend (an altar server) who just loves to make incensing into a performance with feats of twirling and smoking.
This is my faith and I love it, and I share it with everyone present. My heart swelled with pride when I saw the Archbishop of Perth up there flanked by his colleagues, all of them there to say the Mass for us young people to send us on our way. And tomorrow, we'll be there, and probably singing about it as we go.

The catch (yes, there is one) is that after the first year, it's auto-renewed at the full rate unless you cancel. They send you a postcard with an 800 number and a code to enter to cancel. You have to listen carefully to the questions when you call, as several are designed to be confusing along the lines of "Are you sure you want to cancel and also get this other magazine?" The correct answer being, "No".
That said, I've gotten magazines this way before, and never had a problem cancelling once the post card arrives. This is one of those scenarios where having a prepaid debit card to use instead of a regular credit card is good. Then they can't charge you to renew even if they want to.

Deals like this on paper magazines are one reason I haven't switched over to digital delivery. Time being an exception, you can get free digital delivery in addition to your paper subscription from NextIssue, the Time app itself, and via Google Play magazines.
In fact, you should check all your magazines on Google Play to see if there are free digital versions for paper subscribers. You HAVE to check using your device (tablet/phone), you can NOT check using the Play web page.
It might not be obvious from posts mentioning virtual credit cards, but they are alternate, temporary, credit card numbers tied to an actual normal have in your wallet credit card account.
You might want to contact them about your order. Go to OP's link, and at the bottom click on 'Help'.
Update: "Help" section was helpful! I'm in the system with Subscription ID number and correct magazines are listed - Hooray! Thanks again KPS for the advice!
Between this method and Mercury Magazines, I have Money magazine for several years and Entertainment Weekly free until the next decade!
Thanks for the post--I thought these BizRate offers timed out and didn't realize the link could be re-used.
PS: I went a bit overboard and was drowning in magazines, so transferred some I didn't want to receive anymore to my local hospital. Many institutions, doctor's offices, etc. love to get magazine donations for their patients and waiting rooms.
I always generate a new CC for this kind of thing, set the expiration date about 4 months in advance (just in case it takes a while for the subs to get charged.) .. If I forget to cancel when it auto-renews, the CC# should be non-existent and get declined.

What do people planning trips to Kenya need to know about the situation on the ground? Whether to cancel, postpone or go ahead with travel...
What do people planning trips to Kenya need to know about the situation on the ground? Whether to cancel, postpone or go ahead with travel to the country depends on where you're headed and for what purpose, said Sylvia Kang'ara, a law professor at the University of Washington. Kang'ara, who grew up in Kenya's Rift Valley and studied at the University of Nairobi, agreed to answer questions from readers.
Question: My family is supposed to be leaving for Nairobi on January 28th for a 16-day safari throughout Kenya. At this time there has not been a decision made as to whether or not we will still go. Of course, our safety is of top concern so we will not go if it is entirely too unsafe. Do you foresee there being any resolution in the upcoming weeks so that my family may still be able to go on the safari, or should I really begin preparing myself that the chances are slim to none?
Answer: You say your safari "will be throughout Kenya." Some parts of Kenya, especially the western and sections of the Rift Valley will take some time, not a month, to be safe. I know parts that have not been affected at all, such as the Tsavo and Masai Mara, but to get there, you will pass through Nairobi. As a native of Kenya, if I had a planned trip Jan. 28th, I would travel. As a tourist, it might depend on whether you are using a tour company, and if so, how well can the company assure your security. If you are not the adventurous type — journalist, relief worker, missionary, government agent — why not travel at a latter date when security will not consume much of your time, resources and mind? So many things to take into consideration — are you traveling with children, etc.
Q: My daughter was scheduled to leave for Kenya this weekend for a six-month volunteer stay through an organization called United Planet (www.unitedplanet.org). United Planet works in both the U.S. and Europe placing volunteers in countries around the world. Two other women from the U.S. are also scheduled to go to Kenya. United Planet works with the International Cultural Youth Association (ICYA) to place volunteers. My daughter's final placement in the country was unclear, but was mostly likely to be working in clinic in a rural area. Last week United Planet told the U.S. volunteers to assume a delay until February 1st. My daughter changed her tickets.

As the events in Kenya unfold, it seems more unlikely that the county will be stable enough by the end of the month. I would be interested in your perspective on the viability of traveling to Kenya in the near future.
A: It all depends on location of intended stay/work. Some communities are completely safe to work in, others are not. Much of the violence is targeted to particular ethnic groups; we have not heard of any foreign worker or tourist victim. Of course you must be prepared to take extra precautions for your safety because these are not ordinary times. I am not sure what the situation will be in three weeks' time. I imagine the organization your daughter will be working for will take the necessary precautions to ensure her safety. If that is the case, I would make the trip.
Q: I appreciate any insight you might be able to offer to help us advise a young woman we are trying to assist in coming to an important decision regarding her planned "study abroad" semester in Nairobi. She will have to officially choose whether to fly into Nairobi in order to start her program at the United States International University (USIU) or forfeit going and risk losing her entire semester's worth of study (and delay graduating on time, incur more costs, other implications as well … but if her safety is involved, that is paramount!). The USIU is located in Nairobi. This student had planned (as part of her studies) to do humanitarian work with AIDS/HIV orphans in the slum areas, so that would no doubt need to be modified despite the even greater need now but higher risks to personal safety (assuming that anyway).
A: A number of things to consider: One, the violence is targeted at specific ethnic groups. There are parts of Nairobi that are still no-go zones, especially the slums, but most other parts including the area where USIU is located were not rocked by violence. In other words, it depends on who you are, what your mission is, and where you will be spending days and nights. I would advise against late nights in the city, and travel outside the city must be informed, i.e. some areas are safe others are not, so have good hosts to advise you. I have heard that schools in Kenya will reopen next week. I have heard that Nairobi is now fully operational and people have gone back to work, businesses have reopened. I would say all plans to work in the slum areas should be suspended until later, but I have also heard that slum people have been very welcoming of foreigners, especially journalists, because they rely on them to get their story out. It may be that foreigners are actually safer in the country than natives. Of course, no guarantees can be made, so at some level it depends on your threshold for risk and whether you have ways and means to ensure safety, e.g. good and constant information, good choice of housing location, good institution (USIU is) and so on.

Assessing the importance of alien macro-Crustacea (Malacostraca) within macroinvertebrate assemblages in Belgian coastal harbours

Harbours, which are often characterised by anthropogenic stress in combination with intensive international ship traffic, tend to be very susceptible to aquatic invasions. Since alien macrocrustaceans are known to be very successful across many European waters, a study was made on their distribution and impact in the four Belgian coastal harbours (Nieuwpoort, Ostend, Blankenberge and Zeebrugge). Biological and physical–chemical data were gathered at 43 sampling sites distributed along a salinity gradient in the four harbours. One-fourth of all crustacean species recorded were alien and represented on average 30% of the total macrocrustacean abundance and 65% of the total macrocrustacean biomass. The large share of alien crustaceans in the total macrocrustacean biomass was mainly due to several large alien crab species. Most alien species were found in the oligohaline zone, whereas the number of indigenous species slightly increased with increasing salinity. The low number of indigenous species present at low salinities was probably not only caused by salinity, but also by the lower water quality in this salinity range. Based on the site-specific biocontamination index (SBCI), which was used to assess the ecological water quality, the harbour of Nieuwpoort and Ostend scored best and were classified as good, indicating the limited abundance and the low number of alien macrocrustaceans. Sampling locations situated more inland generally had a higher SBCI and a lower ecological water quality. Zeebrugge and Blankenberge were characterised by a severe biocontamination. For Zeebrugge, this is probably related to the intensive transcontinental commercial ship traffic, whereas for Blankenberge, this could be due to introduction of alien species via recreational crafts or due to its geographical location in the proximity of Zeebrugge. Consistent monitoring of estuarine regions and harbours, which are seen as hotspots for introductions, could help in understanding and predicting the impact of alien species on native biota.
