Dr. Stuart Styles Emphasizes Importance of Injury Avoidance as More and More Seniors Reap Benefits of Regular Exercise
"We recommend some level of physical activity to almost everyone, of any age, even those who already have conditions such as arthritis, heart disease and diabetes," says Dr. Stuart Styles, orthopaedic specialist with Somers Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine Group. "Appropriate levels of exercise may even improve some of these conditions. But we also follow the guidelines of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and recommend that anyone over 50, especially those who have been previously inactive, check with his or her doctor before starting an exercise program and we provide tips to maximize safety and minimize the risk of injury as our patients increase their activity levels."
The National Institute on Aging of the NIH recommends four types of exercise for seniors:
"No special equipment, clothes or gym membership are necessary to improve physical fitness," says Dr. Styles. "For most people, the best way to develop a balanced program they'll stay with is to incorporate increased activity into their daily routines and find things they like to do that encompass all four types of exercise: walking the dog, dancing, gardening, bicycling, water aerobics, taking the stairs instead of the elevator." Soup cans are as good as dumbbells for building muscle in the arms, back and chest. Balance can be improved simply by standing on one foot.
"Exercise safety for seniors starts with the initial conversation with your doctor," Dr. Styles continues. "Be sure to mention any new symptom the doctor might not be aware of and discuss any restrictions based on symptoms such as dizziness, shortness of breath, joint pain, bleeding or any recent surgeries or procedures."
Dr. Styles' "top ten tips" for senior exercise are:
"Exercising regularly is one of the most important things you can do to maintain health and agility as you age," Dr. Styles concludes. "Our patients not only feel better when they adopt an exercise regimen, they may actually be adding years to their lives."

'She was struggling to breathe'

Bob Bashara, right, consults with attorney Mark Procida.

September 12, 2013
Bob Bashara wept Tuesday at his preliminary examination as Assistant Wayne County Medical Examiner Francisco Diaz described the physical assault Jane Bashara endured as she was beaten and strangled the night of Jan. 24, 2012. Bob Bashara is being charged with her murder.
"It wasn't a quick and painless death," Diaz said. "She was struggling to breathe."
Diaz said Jane Bashara suffered signifi cant blunt force trauma to the head, neck and upper chest area, but the cause of death was strangulation and the manner in which she died was a homicide.
Diaz conducted the autopsy on Jane Bashara on Jan. 26, 2012, the day after her body was found in the backseat of her SUV abandoned in a Detroit alley.
Jane Bashara's windpipe was crushed, Diaz said, and also noted neck cartilage was fractured and her voicebox and thyroid gland had been crushed.
"We all have seen in the movies of when someone dies quickly," he said. "In real life, that doesn't happen. It wasn't an instantaneous death, she didn't die right away. There was extensive trauma."
As Diaz testified, Bob Bashara began to cry, wiping tears from his eyes and face. As Diaz left the stand, Bashara tossed the tissue into a nearby wastebasket.
The doctor was the leadoff witness in the second day of Bashara's preliminary examination in Detroit's 36th District Court. But before witnesses took the stand, Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor John Moran informed the court his offi ce was seeking to add another charge to the six counts Bashara is facing, and would seek felony firearm charges.
Those charges stem from testimony yesterday by Bob Bashara's mother, Nancy, and cousin, Stephanie Samuel, that they found a gun in a safety deposit box to which only Bob and Nancy Bashara had the key. They turned the gun over to attorney David Griem, and it was just recently recovered from Griem's office.
In other testimony Tuesday, a forensic cellphone expert from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms testified as to the number of phone calls that were exchanged between Bob Bashara's cellphone and one belonging to Joe Gentz. During the period, 472 calls were exchanged between the two men, including 37 exchanged during a four-day period leading up to Jane's murder.
Gentz admitted to killing Jane Bashara, but said it was at the behest of Bob Bashara.
The expert also noted that on the night Jane disappeared, Bob Bashara made two calls to his alleged mistress, Rachel Gillett.
Prosecutors hope to show that the relationship between Gillett and Bob Bashara was a
motive for Bob Bashara to kill his wife.
A former Grosse Pointe resident, Joy Jolly, who had known Bob and Jane Bashara since 2000, testifi ed that in September 2010 while holding an open house for a Grosse Pointe Shores residence she was selling, Bob Bashara and an unknown woman, who she later recognized from news reports as Rachel Gillett, came through the house. She said Bashara told her the woman was just a friend and he was helping her to find a house.
In testimony Monday, a friend of Jane Bashara testified that Jane told her Bob Bashara was attending a golf tournament in Florida over the Christmas holidays in December 2012. Bob said he was the guest of Jim Wilson, who lives in Fort Lauderdale. The friend grew suspicious, and contacted Wilson. Wilson told her Bob had not been with him over the holidays, and Bob called him and asked him to cover for him in case Jane Bashara called him.
Jim Wilson is Joy Jolly's ex-husband.
The preliminary examination is expected to continue until Friday. Judge Kenneth King will then determine if there is enough evidence to bind Bashara over for trial on first-degree murder charges and fi ve related charges.
Grosse Pointe News will continue through the week with updates at grossepointenews.com.

For those of us enduring this year's winter season in Boston, let's face it, it's time to get outside. Put on those sneakers and get running!
Here are some great running routes in or near Boston to get you back outdoors and out of that winter funk:
- The Minuteman Bikeway: known as "America's Revolutionary Rail Trail". The trail follows an historic path beginning at Alewife and ending in Bedford.
- Emerald Necklace: Pick your park or route from any one of the 9 green parks that comprise the necklace: Boston Common, Public Garden, Commonwealth Avenue Mall, Back Bay Fens, Riverway, Olmsted Park, Jamaica Pond, Arnold Arboretum, and Franklin Park.
- Chestnut Hill Reservoir: Easily accessible off the green line, what was once a marsh is now a tranquil 1.5 mile loop touching parts of Boston, Brookline and Newton.
- Charles River Esplanade: run the Charles River loop and allow yourself to be distracted. Check out the sail boats and crew teams, watch the red line blast across the Charles, there is so much going on along this public playground.
- Castle Island Causeway: breathe in the sea air and relax along this 2 mile route. Aim your sights on the cruise ships going out to sea, or watch the planes take off and land at Logan Airport.
Not up for 26.2 miles? If you are looking to participate in some way in the Boston Marathon consider the One Run for Boston II benefiting the One Fund Boston. The relay begins in LA on March 16 and ends in Boston on April 13. 50 days until Boston Marathon Race Day!

"I've noticed my plant's production has begun to lag and I believe that it's being caused by a bottleneck somewhere in the workflow. Where are the problem areas most likely to be and how can I prevent such delays from occurring in the future?"Consulting Services — Charles Berge, American Laundry Systems, Haverhill, Mass.
A bottleneck zone is a phenomenon where the performance or capacity of an entire system is limited by a single or limited number of components or resources, according to Wikipedia.
If we take a closer look at this definition, we can see that a bottleneck is caused by a single or limited number of components or resources. As for the area to be looking at, more than likely you probably have already identified that department. But, remember, if the issue is employee-related, it could be in any of the departments.
Just because you have a bottleneck does not mean you might need new equipment. Since this is the most expensive resolution, maybe we can get started by looking at a number of issues.
Start by looking at these basic reports:
- PPOH (pounds per operator hour);
- Individual or department production reports;
- New hires for the month;
- New specialty items put into service; and
- Equipment maintenance.
Take a close look at the production reports to see if there is anything that is out of the ordinary. Has there been a recent increase in poundage? Once you have reviewed this, then dig deeper and look at the individual and/or department production reports. If you can see an issue in a particular area, you have narrowed it down.
[NP][/NP]Has there been a new item sold by the sales/service department that requires special handling? This could be dragging down a department as it struggles to figure out how to handle it.
Are there a couple of new hires who are not up to speed on the required production standards? Check with your department heads to see if the workers need additional training or possibly should be moved to a different department.
After you have exhausted the production portion, then review the maintenance reports to see if there has been a recurring issue with a particular piece of equipment in the plant. If you can identify the equipment issue, then you can begin a discussion about what to do to resolve that problem.
Does the maintenance department have a regular preventive-maintenance program? If there is no PM program, this can be the biggest cause of lagging production in any plant.
Regularly scheduled preventive maintenance will only help to identify issues before they become major. In addition, you will be able to schedule the major maintenance so that any piece of equipment is down the shortest period of time, or is done during off-hours.
Finally, you have to determine if the poundage and production has outgrown the facility. If so, you need to look at new equipment to be able to get more production out of the same square footage. Otherwise, it may be time to expand.Chemicals Supply — Matt Koloseike, Procter & Gamble Professional, Cincinnati
The execution of proper procedures and processes will affect the workflow of your laundry operation, so reinforcing best practices is the key to success.
When your commercial laundry department is not operating at optimum levels, the first and most important area to check is your linen inventory.
[NP][/NP]It is important to keep two to three par of linen at all times. When there is inadequate inventory, your staff is inclined to wash immediately as linens enter your laundry operation. This practice often causes machines to be underloaded, which consequently causes a hindrance in the workflow—a real issue in today's commercial laundry industry. As a result, poor wash performance also occurs and creates a potential laundry operation bottleneck.
The immediate treatment of soiled linens as they are removed from the guest/patient/resident room is a first step to ensure proper laundry performance.
All linens should be fully "opened up" to identify stains and to shake out any loose items or soils. Heavily stained linen should be treated immediately and separated from other linens prior to transport to the laundry room. Sort the linens by load type and by overall degree of soiling.
As the sorted linens enter the laundry room, each batch should be weighed within 90-100% of the recommended washer load. Underloading or overloading the machine will affect the wash quality and may cause an overall increase in rewashing.
Your laundry room attendant should select the appropriate wash program for the type of load in the washer, as well as the dispenser program number. These programs are managed in conjunction with your laundry chemical supplier and will directly impact overall cleaning performance. Any decrease in overall wash performance may increase rewash levels, which is another potential bottleneck.
Finally, stagger the washer starting times by at least two to five minutes. This will allow your staff adequate time to transport linens between the washers and dryers and to look for performance issues sooner.
After the wash cycle is complete, linens should only be slightly damp. If water drips from the linens, contact your machine manufacturer to check for proper extraction time. As linens are then transported to the dryer, do not mix load types.
Ensure that lint filters are clean, and do not over-dry linens. Fold all linens immediately after drying to minimize wrinkles. It is important to check for stains and excessive wear or tear during this process. If linens require additional treatment, it is easier to treat and rewash while they are in the laundry room.
Do not send unacceptable pieces of linen to your guest/patient/resident rooms. This can cause unplanned rework and another potential bottleneck in your overall operation.
Laundry room operations can be effectively managed to minimize bottlenecks and increase overall efficiency. It is important to work with your chemical supplier and machine manufacturer to optimize training and staff procedures. By reviewing par levels and laundry room procedures regularly, you can keep your facility running as efficiently as possible.

A 15-year-old boy was injured after he fell riding a longboard while holding onto a car Monday night in Felida.
A 17-year-old boy was driving a Honda Accord about 20 mph, toting two 15-year-old boys holding onto the vehicle in an activity called "skitching," Clark County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Fred Neiman said. Deputies and medical personnel were called at 9:44 p.m. to the intersection of Northwest 141st Street and McCann Road after one of the boys fell and hit his head, Neiman said.
The boy was transported to Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center with injuries that were not considered life-threatening. Neither boy was wearing a helmet.
Neiman said that the deputy did not cite anyone, instead warning the teens about the reckless behavior.
"The deputy on scene talked to the driver and gave him a warning after being convinced that he would not engage in such activity in the future," Neiman said.

We can read and write cookies directly from our application by using the Cookies collections of the Response and Request objects. We can control the existence of the cookies we write by setting the Expires property. This means that, unlike the Session object, we can keep information alive after the browser has been terminated so that the information can be used the next time the browser is started and our application accessed. Cookies that stay alive like this are stored permanently (until they expire, that is) on the user's hard drive, so even if the user has accepted a cookie, there is no absolute guarantee that it will still be there the next time the browser program is run.
Another mechanism that can be used to transfer data back and forth between the server and browser is to set and query the URLData property of the Web class. This property works by storing extra information with URLs written in pages that are sent out to the browser. If any of these URLs are activated in the browser and initiate a request on the server, the URLData property of the Web class is set to reflect the data that is sent back.
We've investigated many of the features available to Visual Basic developers who want to (or have to) develop Web applications. In the process, we've produced the skeleton of a functioning application-nothing to set the world on fire, but it's a start nonetheless.
This IIS Application template allows Visual Basic developers to use existing skills to create Web applications. However, to really start developing Web applications, developers should have a good knowledge of HTML, even if they don't have to write the code that is displayed in browsers. A knowledge of HTML will help Visual Basic developers get the most of the limited interaction between browser and server. Web developers also need to understand and control the lifetime of their applications and the data they rely on for operation. This definitely needs more careful consideration than for a standard Visual Basic project. Knowledge of ASP will also stand Web developers in good stead, since Web applications created with Visual Basic are based on this technology. The core objects within a Web class (Request and Response) are ASP objects, which is certainly a good reason to learn about ASP.
To produce powerful Web applications, the developers will almost certainly have to move away from a purely server-based application with the thinnest of clients and incorporate client-side scripting, DHTML, ActiveX components, and so forth, in their overall application code. This adds even more to the areas of knowledge that Visual Basic developers must enter.
No doubt that Visual Basic 6, with its IIS Application template, will kick start the development of many Web-based applications.

Open enrollment for healthcare coverage nears its deadline set for March 31, 2014. Individuals and families not enrolled by the open enrollment deadline will need to wait until the next proposed open enrollment date of November 15, 2015. Individuals and families without healthcare coverage in 2014 may have to pay a penalty fee. Individuals who are uninsured will also be held responsible for their entire cost of healthcare.
Individuals and families wanting coverage for February will need to apply by January 15, 2014.
The penalty in 2014 will be calculated in one of two ways, -leaving the highest penalty calculated to be imposed upon the uninsured. The penalty will amount to either one-percent of the yearly household income or $95 per adult and $47.50 per child, annually. The maximum penalty per family will be $285.
The penalty fee increases for each subsequent year thereafter until 2016. In 2015, the fee increases to two-percent of annual income or $325 per person; in 2016, 2.5 percent of the annual income or $695 per person. Individuals and families, who qualify, may apply for an exemption.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), health insurance marketplace scams have increased the form of emails, phone calls, mail solicitations, and through false websites. HHS warns against accepting any of these solicitations and to abstain from giving out personal information to any solicitor.
Healthcare plans may be viewed before applying at HealthCare.gov. Individuals and families may apply online by visiting HealthCare.gov, or by calling 1-800-318-2596.

design for miui theme design award, I had already make the icon transparently, looks very special
Hi - please consider also making the PSD available. I'm using all of these, but would like to make my own using icons for games, task list, etc. If you made the PSD available, I could insert my own icons into the bubble. Thanks!
Awesome icon set, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful! You wouldn't happen to have the psd used for the icons would you? =/ Not enough icons... lol
excellent icons
I really like these themes but because the icons of only a handful of applications are available the theme is sort of unusable especially if you have quite a few third party apps installed.
Perfect.. very creative and stylish.. This would just rock with transparency..
WOWOW!!! Great work!! I like it!
I like it a lot, but think the border kinda takes away from the lovely icon design underneath! I like the glow too though. Keep up the good work.
Very nice icons man! btw do you thinking of making more of these (ex. Skype, TweetDeck, YouTube, Facebook and etc.)?
Very creative ideas, and execution in the design

The Hit List: Beauty Beat
Michelle Pulfrey | Photo: Tim Melideo | September 13, 2013
Lisa Pilgrim treks from Newport to L.A. several times a week to polish up celebs like Alec Baldwin, Chris Evans and Chanel Iman. Then she packs up her blushes and brushes to lend her talents to cancer patients, offering tips on makeup through the nonprofit Look Good, Feel Better. (Kind of makes the name of her biz, Beauty with Soul, beautywithsoul.com, all the more fitting.) And, starting this month, she's expanding her services to anyone who wants look more beautiful. Yes, she'll visit your home for a private lesson on makeup and color selection, to ensure you're putting your best face forward. Here, she shares a few of her own beauty secrets.
1. Quick Retreat
Spa Gaucin at the St. Regis Monarch Beach is Pilgrim's local go-to place to unwind, and her sure cure for stress relief is the 90-minute Coastal Aromatic Stone Massage. "I've had massages all over the world, and this is one of the best." $280, spagaucin.com
2. Eco Excellence
Pilgrim credits her perfect, porcelain-like complexion to her holistic approach to living—and to the 100-percent natural Tata Harper line of products. Among her must-haves: the Hydrating Floral Essence spray. "It's perfect for my long haul flights." $85, at Roots Beauty, Laguna Beach, roots-beauty.com
3. Natural Beauty
Pilgrim's partial to natural, organic brands—even when it comes to makeup—and RMS Beauty ranks at the top of her list. In her kit, you'll find the translucent "Un" Powder. "I use this on the T-zone to help control shine and to set makeup. It's so pure and gentle, and it leaves skin silky smooth." $34, at Roots Beauty, Laguna Beach, roots-beauty.com
4. Bronzed Babe
NARS is known for its award-winning line of cosmetics, and Pilgrim loves its Laguna Bronzer. "It creates warmth with a slight golden shimmer to bronze or contour." $36, at Sephora, South Coast Plaza, sephora.com
5. Sheer Brilliance
To add a little extra glow to cheeks and brows, Pilgrim dabs on a little Josie Maran Argan Illuminizer. "It conditions the skin and gives a radiant glow that lasts all day… For an additional highlight, try a light application down the center of the nose." $28, at Sephora, South Coast Plaza, sephora.com

Even though I have a home in Charlotte, NC I am working for a builder-dealer who is based in Aberdeen, SD. This dealer offers high quality manufactured and modular homes that are absolutely beautiful. When placed on a basement, crawlspace or stone skirting you cannot tell these homes apart from a stick-built ranch. Once inside, these homes will truly impress any buyer looking for space, upgrades, quality construction and cost savings.
Unless you live under a rock, you have heard the news about the oil boom in North Dakota. Areas like Williston and Dickenson are exploding and housing is needed for workers flocking to this area to make a very nice wage. Oil and trucking firms are purchasing manufactured homes for their workers to share for a weekly rent. Many people who have relocated to this area are now established and can qualify to purchase their own home with local mortgage companies or through the dealer mortgage lenders.
Stick built homes are very expensive to build in these areas and they take a great deal of time to build, as long as 6-9 months depending on weather conditions. Manufactured homes are built under roof and are completed in a quarter of the time of a stick built home and at a higher quality standard as well. Think about the weather situation alone in the Dakotas. It is very cold in the winter and there is usually a good amount of snow and rain. Stick built homes without roofs or windows installed get very wet on the inside. Moisture can cause mold issues in the future. A manufactured home never sees weather until it's in the delivery process and by that time it is completed and sealed from all moisture.
Oil production doesn't slow down in the winter. People are still hired to meet the demand and thus housing is still needed as well. Manufactured home builders/dealers can deliver homes during the winter as long as the winds are below 25 mph. As long as there is a foundation to set the home on (which could include blocks as well as piers, ribbon foundations, crawl spaces and/or basements) a manufactured home can be placed and set for a homeowner in the Dakotas. Stick built homes basically stop being built once the first snow flies and the tempertures drop below 32 degrees.
If you are looking for some real estate (or as a friend of mine calls it, "wheel" estate) investments, go west young man and check out the Dakotas.
The builder-dealer I have referred to is Centennial Homes and have been the number one manufactured home dealer in South Dakota (their corporate base) for the last 18-years. (www.centennialhomes.com)

College Hockey:Nebraska-Omaha Pummels No. 7 Massachusetts
Wong Turns Hat Trick For Mavericks
OMAHA, Neb. — There was no Thanksgiving hangover for Nebraska-Omaha Friday night.
In front of 7,901 at Qwest Center Omaha, the Mavericks pounded away at No.7 Massachusetts and came away with a 7-2 upset, snapping an 11-game non-conference unbeaten streak for the Minutemen.
UMass-Amherst played just last Tuesday in a tough game against Vermont, but Minutemen head coach Don Cahoon said that wasn't a factor Friday.
"We usually practice on Tuesdays and our practices are every bit as hard as a game," Cahoon said. "I thought we ran into a team that was very passionate. They were very prepared for us and we didn't do much to offset that."
UNO continued their success on the power play with four man advantage goals, and senior forward Andrew Wong recorded a hat trick.
"He's been slowly picking up all season long and we've been waiting for him to explode," UNO head coach Mike Kemp said of Wong. "He's been doing good things without the puck and it's nice to have it go in for him. He has good hockey instincts."
The Mavericks struck swiftly in the first period when Dan Hacker scored his fourth of the season at exactly two minutes of the first period. Hacker, streaking through the slot, finished off a Kaleb Betts feed from the low circle.
UMass got their own power play goal to tie the game just under seven minutes later. Minutemen phenom Thomas Pock fired a shot from the blue line that sailed wide but popped out on the other side of the net for Kevin Jarman who scored the slam dunk goal.
In the second and third periods, UNO just pulled away with three goals in each frame. Wong got two unusual goals in the second period. The first came from a Jason Krischuk shot that looked to be in the net before Wong poked it and the second pinballed around the crease, with Wong there, and shot into the back of the net. Still, Wong got credit for both.
John Luszcz pulled the Minutemen within one goal in the middle of the second by ripping a wrister past UNO's Chris Holt, but Wong's second goal of the second gave UNO a 4-2 lead.
Neither goaltender saw an abundance of rubber as the teams only combined for 48 shots. UMass's Gabe Winer was victimized for seven goals on 24 Maverick shots while Holt allowed two goals on 20 shots.
With College Sports Television in town for their live game of the week, the Mavericks figured they would showcase a few programs of their own for the national audience. Subplots abound:
Seventh Heaven: For the second time this season, UNO scored seven goals in beating the No. 7 Minutemen. The last time the Mavericks beat a ranked opponent was on Jan. 25, 2003 when UNO completed a sweep of Ohio State, then ranked No.7. It was the most goals the Minutemen had allowed this year.
Any Given Friday: With the win, UNO improved to 4-8-1 on the year, with all four of the wins coming on the last four Friday nights. UNO has scored 20 goals in their last four Friday contests, well more than half of their season output of 34 goals. The downside is UNO is has allowed 21 goals in five Saturday games on the year.
The Andrew Wong Show: Maverick senior forward Andrew Wong, known primarily as a setup guy with 30 goals and 68 assists in 126 games with UNO, scored three goals and added an assist Friday to record the program's third hat trick. The feat had not been accomplished by a Mav since Allan Carr on Dec. 2, 2000. "Those weren't the prettiest goals, those weren't goal scorer goals," Wong said. "Its a result of being in the right spot at the right time and going to the net."
The Rookies: UNO got three goals and five assists from their talented freshman corps. Kaleb Betts had two goals and an assist and Maverick leading scorer Scott Parse had a goal and an assist. Freshman goaltender Chris Holt was solid in net allowing two goals on 20 shots.
Amherst 53337: The Mavericks got their fifth win over UMass-Amherst Friday night, improving their record against the Minutemen to 5-1. The Minutemen's only win over UNO came in their first match-up on Nov. 7, 1997, by a score of 3-2. Since then the Mavericks have gone 5-0 registering goal totals of 5, 3, 3, 3, and 7 on Friday.
Groundhog Day: The two teams will wake up to face each other again Saturday night for the fall series finale.

NEW YORK (AP) — The players' union wants the NFL to delay announcing any punishment to the New Orleans Saints for their bounty program until it can conduct its own investigation.
NFLPA spokesman George Atallah tells The Associated Press on Tuesday that "We asked the league to hold off on any punishment until our information gathering was completed."
The union said last week that members of its legal team would investigate the program the NFL says gave thousands of dollars in payoffs to players for hits that knocked targeted opponents out of games. The NFL said the amounts reached their height in 2009, the season the Saints won the Super Bowl.
Former Saints assistant coach Gregg Williams, now defensive coordinator of the Rams, has admitted to and apologized for running the program.

Atrium Hopper Windows
Atrium Companies, Inc., a Dallas-based window and door manufacturer, has a lot to offer the remodeling homeowner. Atrium vinyl windows, including the hopper window model, are warrantied for life and manufactured with energy efficient technology.
Atrium Energy Efficiency
The Atrium hopper window comes with a low-e argon-insulated glass that can be tinted during manufacturing. The glass and frame construction are Energy Star-rated for superior performance and energy bill savings. Additionally, Atrium states that their glass is "self-cleaning" and needs only minimum maintenance.
Where Should I Position the Hopper Window?
The hopper window is most commonly used in basement applications, where it's placed high on the wall and tilts inward from the top for maximum ventilation. Hoppers can also enhance the look and functionality of other window models through installation alongside bow and bay windows, multi-paned picture windows and garden windows. Alone or in conjunction with other windows, the Atrium hopper is an efficient addition to the home.
Superior Construction
One concern surrounding the hopper window is that of inferior hardware - it could potentially allow an intruder to break in through the basement and enter the home. Atrium has answered this with their stainless steel hardware that they maintain will keep unwanted trespassers out, as well as prevent cold outside air from leaking into the room when the window is closed. The Atrium hopper frame is built with solid vinyl construction, keeping the frame from fading or changing in color due to exposure to the sun over time.
Color Selection
To give homeowners a wider selection, Atrium hopper windows come in three different exterior colors: white, earthtone and safari brown. The current trend in vinyl windows is a white frame finish, but some homeowners prefer the outer frames to match or complement their home's exterior color theme. By selecting a tan or brown finish, the hopper window blends more successfully into the home's exterior shell and won't be such a stark contrast.

Two down, two to go.
With former Mahoning County Commissioner David Ludt and former county Administrator George Tablack bearing the scars of her political assault, Commissioner Carol Rimedio-Righetti can now be expected to turn her attention to Prosecutor Paul Gains and Commissioner Anthony Traficanti, both of whom will up for re-election next year and will face challengers.
And, Rimedio-Righetti will go after anyone who attempts to punish a close friend of hers, Danielle O'Neill, an employee at the board of elections whose job performance is again being called into question.
Since the commissioners manage the county's general fund, the threat of financial retribution is ever present.
But the attack on Ludt, Tablack, who also was the budget director, Gains and Traficanti is more primal politically. The four were the key participants in the county's purchase of Oakhill Renaissance Place, the former South Side Medical Center, which is now home to the Job and Family Services Agency.
The relocation of JFS from Garland Plaza, owned by the Cafaro Co., caused a political firestorm with county officeholders taking sides. The then influential company president, Anthony Cafaro Sr., did all he could to stop the JFS move to Renaissance Place.
The fallout of the battle will be felt for quite some time since Cafaro and six others, including McNally and another elected official, are defendants in a state criminal trial. They have been charged with criminal conspiracy.
The defendants are: Cafaro Sr., now retired from the company; his sister, Flora, an officer of the Cafaro Co.; Commissioner McNally; Auditor Michael Sciortino; former Treasurer John Reardon; former JFS Director John Zachariah; and, Atty. Martin Yarvocik.
Public trough
Rimedio-Righetti has spent her entire working life feeding at the public trough. She joined the board of elections in July 1970 when she was 18 years old and retired with a two-year buyout in August 1999 at age 47 — with a full pension.
She then ran for the council seat in Youngstown's 4th Ward and served seven years before challenging Ludt, a 12-year veteran of county government, in the May 2010 Democratic primary. She won.
But it was how she went about ousting him that provided a glimpse into her political philosophy. It can be summed up thusly: Take no prisoners.
Despite her being a professional public sector employee, she railed against Ludt's performance in office and brilliantly made Tablack an issue.
She sensed that the Democratic Party precinct committeemen and women, many of them union members or with ties to government, resented Tablack's no-nonsense approach to departmental budgets and his insistence that the county embrace government accounting principles. He also was highly critical of the lack of uniform salary schedules and workplace rules. He made enemies because he was rocking the boat and argued that the status quo was not sustainable.
Rimedio-Righetti's winning the party's endorsement over a long-time Democratic officeholder was revealing. She made no secret of the fact that if elected, Tablack would be gone. She seemed to know that McNally, who has admitted to being close to the Cafaro family, would join her in going after the administrator/budget director.
Again she won — and Tablack is history.
Party endorsement
That's why speculation about her targeting Gains and Traficanti isn't idle. Youngstown City Prosecutor Jay Macejko has announced that he will challenge Gains next year, but it won't be a cakewalk. The county prosecutor has a strong following within the party, and Chairman David Betras has made it clear that incumbent officeholders who have been faithful Democrats deserve to be endorsed.
Thus, it could come down to a battle between the chairman and a commissioner who obviously sees herself as queen of the hill. It would be an interesting fight.
It's noteworthy that Rimedio-Righetti's claim to fame is the fact that she has never held a private sector job. But, she believes she can run the county.
Tablack, a certified public accountant, is an acknowledged expert in government financing in Ohio. Yet, he was unceremoniously drummed out by a person with five months' experience as a commissioner and a lawyer who is a defendant in a criminal trial.
That's brazen.
So if the Sheriff's Department finds out Danny "I'm Probate Judge Mark Beliny's sister-in-law and Carol Remedio-Righetti's best bud" O'Neil is guilty of fixxing elections - is the "Queen of the Hill" (as Betram writes) going to cut the sheriff department budget as pay back?
Find it funny that Righetti worked for many years at the Board of Fixxed Elections and will "protect" Ms. O'Neil. Did Righetti teach O'Neil how to count absentee ballots or was it the other way around?
This is the biggest LIE ever told in local politics !!!
"Betras has made it clear that incumbent officeholders who have been faithful Democrats deserve to be endorsed"
Betras and Rimedio-Righetti Spagetti have proven to be puppets of the Cafaro's
It's a SHAME how many millions this family has cost the county taxpayers and the bills will keep adding up.
Think how many sheriff deputies could have been employed or county workers spared layoff if millions had not been spent on their buy out of the Garland dump.
Their influence has been the most destructive factor in local politics next to the closing of the steel mills,
TAXEDOFF YOU ARE AN A$$ HOLE FOR MAKING FUN OF Righettis name.
I believe that Gaines and Traficanti are in the cross hairs and will be gone after the next election. ( In my opinion----no loss.)
The Cafaro Enterprise is constanly tightening its grip on political power . How many in The Valley owe their souls to them ?
Has anyone seen Maureen lately ?
If there is one thing that can be taken away from this article, it is this:
Dave Betras is irrelevent. But that irrelevence does not excuse him from his destructive tendencies in causing this kind of political upheaval that harms the Valley, because the rest of us have to live here too.
Carole should immediately give up her salary as a commissioner - and Youngstown and Mahoning County should champion legislation that does not permit anyone to collect a public pension and go after another one. Bertram - would this make 3 for her and she has never held a real job? Just what we need attorneys and public pensioners at the helm. What are the credentials for the person just hired for human resources? And then Betras never shuts up just attacks.
Wow, this is some interesting story spinning. This article makes Tablack seem like a saint, Traficanti unblemished and Ludt the next pope. Sounds like the writer has an axe to grind against powerful women. Having experience in public office is now a bad thing? We should only elect people off the street that have absolutely no idea how the county runs? Commissioner Rimedio-Righetti was elected by the people not by the press (thankfully). If The Vindicator was more fair and balanced, maybe this article would have some legs to it. Otherwise, it is just as power hungry and set in its ways as Tablack, Ludt & Traficanti. Oh, my bad. ;)
If the question is "where in the private sector can you work for 30 years and retire with a full pension?", then the answer is SB5. Of course, one must have the proper "qualifications" to get a position at the BOE. Unfortunately for some public workers, you are being dragged under by a sinking public ship. The taxpayers are now saying "NO MAS!"
"But the attack on Ludt, Tablack, who also was the budget director, Gains and Traficanti is more primal politically. The four were the key participants in the county's purchase of Oakhill Renaissance Place, the former South Side Medical Center, which is now home to the Job and Family Services Agency."
Recent activity in The Valley could all be summed up as loyalty not unto the taxpayers . Cafaro Enterprises seems to be the entity that they are bonded to . In the past this would have been called organized crime .
Rigetthi another Cafaro politician on the take. Getting a pension at 47 this is exactly why SB5 needs to stay and put an end to these greedy public deals on the backs of the taxpayers. Time to get rid of McNally, Rigetti and soritino who have all been tied to Cafaro
"Thus, it could come down to a battle between the chairman and a commissioner who obviously sees herself as queen of the hill. It would be an interesting fight.
It's noteworthy that Rimedio-Righetti's claim to fame is the fact that she has never held a private sector job. But, she believes she can run the county.
Tablack, a certified public accountant, is an acknowledged expert in government financing in Ohio. Yet, he was unceremoniously drummed out by a person with five months' experience as a commissioner and a lawyer who is a defendant in a criminal trial.
That's brazen."
Tablack is a VERY GOOD MAN. Incredible and sad that he has been kicked around as he has.
The vindicator has unjustly trumped up Carol Rimedio-Righetti when all she has done is be a negative candidate and politician.
Hopefully the public will see Carol Rimedio-Righetti as I see her - a fake and a phoney out for herself.
Let me get this straight, the Commissioner is a trough feeder? Okay, what does that make Tablack, the double dipping, inflated salary taking minion of the Traficanti and Ludt. How much of his salary did he really give back, how much has Traficanti given back as he promised. The Auditor surely could put this in Government Watch. Ludt lost because people in government know Tablack is awful to work with, yeah he's smart, but there are alot of smart people who dont require110,000.00 plus a pension to work and theyre also not -a--holes. He is why Ludt lost, HE is why he lost the endorsement.
They have given back MINIMALLY and no where near what they promised the PEOPLE. Before you respond and sound really stupid review the PAR's at the Auditor's office. McNally is the only one who actually changed his salary amount. The others gave back when their cable bill wasn't too high. Ludt LOST the election because he ran a nothing campaign due to arrogance, the low voter turnout helped Rigetti, people were sick of incumbents AND ALL COUNTY EMPLOYEES HATED HIS SUPPORT OF TABLACK WHO HE LET BE A COMMISSIONER. Plus the precinct people were leftover and supported of McNally and HATED Ludt's backroom hiring of Tablack without notifying a sitting Commissioner. Yeah there was real TRANSPARENCY with that hiring huh?
NOONE can gaurantee an endorsement because it is done by uh vote genius. Like it or not HE LOST AS A 12 YEAR INCUMBENT TO A 1st TIME CANDIDATE BECAUSE HE WAS LOOOUUUSSYY. Must be EVERYBODY else's fault huh. If he would have won would that have been everybody else's fault too. Also noone said Garland was good, but OAKHILL is a bad idea and has cost a struggling community MILLIONS. your soooooo knowledgeable let me know what you think the total bill there has run and then, because your such an insider, you have to admit it was idiocy.
You can throw in all the political smack you want. Oakhill will cost us millions FACT Waay more than Garland FACT. Oakhill was Tablacks way of screwing the Cafaros who are no good agreed. BUT dont be fooled and think its was done for the good of the community, it was done with as much political malice as the other side. Why is it that a 75,000. dollar building, as they promised has cost us millions. Genius George said that we wouldnt have to pay taxes BUT now we owe close to a million. A February heating bill that's more than 50,000.00. All of this is fact. Its already cost us way more than they said it would. Deputis are being laid off, but picking up a million dollar tax bill was a good move by the genius George Tablack???? Got a 12 year old nephew smarter than that. Reall scary is how they've hidden the payments, but as HOOKED in as you are you know all this right? Oh yeah the total bill for Oakhill is not a "may or may not be" issue it is a documented FACT that George and 2 of three Commissioners neglected to share.
Agreed, agreed, agreed, civil discourse-I love it
Anthony Traficanti ALWAYS returned ny telephone calls AND with answers that satisfied my questions.
Phone calls are easy. Its actually BEING in the office that he has trouble with. Traficanti has been on the public payroll forever-is he a trough feeder? He's a FEEDER thats fo sho!

8 Takeaways From McDonald's Chart
Schaeffer's Investment Research
Despite MCD's recent strength, analysts are lukewarm toward the stock as 10 out of 21 maintain "hold" ratings.
Today's chart is of
McDonald's Corp.
(NYSE:MCD), which franchises and operates McDonald's restaurants in the global restaurant industry. Its restaurants offer various food items, soft drinks, coffee, and other beverages. The company operates approximately 34,000 restaurants in 120 countries around the world.
Click to enlarge
What I Am Looking At:
Performing quite well this year, up nearly 14% year-to-date.
Made a new all-time high in mid-April after crossing up through the century level.
Consolidating just above the round number $100 level in a symmetrical triangle formation, which could be considered a continuation pattern.
Peak put open interest for the June series resides at the 100-strike, which could be supportive.
RSI oversold.
Short interest has been declining, an indication shorts are in cover mode as shares trade near all-time highs.
Despite MCD's recent strength, analysts are lukewarm toward shares as 10 out of 21 maintain "hold" ratings, potential for future upgrades.
10-day buy-to-open put/call ratio ranks in the 83rd percentile of all readings taken during the past year, an indication of pessimism among option participants.
Buy at current level as shares could be supported from the trendline, $100 level, and peak put open interest. Or wait for a potential breakout of triangle pattern.

Let's take a look at a couple of specific plays on offense for Miami, as they happened against the Chiefs.
Please note that these screen captures were taken from the ESPN broadcast of the game, and I'd like to show much respect to ESPN, the NFL, and the Dolphins. My intention here is to create a learning environment, and not in any way to infinge on any copyrights.
I will remove the pictures at some point in the next week or so.
[picture removed]Play #1 was a running play.
You had a 4-receiver set, with two to either side, and one running back. The eligible receivers are circled. Typically, this formation would be used for passing, because it provides a lot of targets for the QB.
But, in this case, the receivers all ran blocking routes meaning that they're job was to block someone. Who they were to block is shown by the red lines.
The offensive line, meanwhile, set up in what appeared to be pass blocking mode. Rather than driving the oppoenent forward, they took a step back, and then blocked him forward. The idea was to create the illusion that there would be a pass: a 4-receiver set, and the lineman moving into what appeared to be a pass blocking stance.
Brown got the handoff, and ran between the tackle and the guard on the right, and wound up with about 11 yards rushing. So, it turned out to be a rather successful play for the Phins.
[picture removed]
Play #2 is a passing play later in the game.
In this set, Miami was in a standard pro set (2 RBs, 2 WRs, and a TE). The offensive line again set up a pocket at the snap, and all of the eligible receivers (again circled) ran the routes shown.
The tight end was lined up to the left side of the formation, so it was a strong side left. This had an effect, as the Chiefs had to have their safeties switch roles in the zone defense they were running (that is, the saftey lined up on the same side as the TE now had to pick up the TE, rather than covering a part of the field as he normally would in a strong side right).
The route I show here for the TE is shorter than he actually ran; he actually was about 25 yards downfield when the pass was thrown, and had a pickup of 30 on the play.
Note how the other receivers were further up the field and spreading the defense out, thus leaving the saftey to cover the TE with no help. That's why it worked.
...I think I'm going to like seeing some of Cam's play calling this year.

Intermediate objectives for the Apollo program were outlined: the qualification of a manned CSM capable of earth reentry at parabolic velocities after an extended space mission; qualification of a manned LEM both physically and functionally compatible with the CSM; and demonstration of manned operations in deep space, including lunar orbit. The most significant basic test plan objective formulated during the study was the need for flexibility to capitalize on unusual success or to compensate for unexpected difficulties with minimum impact on the program.
Only one major issue in the test plan remained unresolved - lunar descent radar performance and actual lunar touchdown. Two possible solutions were suggested:
The complete findings of this joint study were contained in a five-volume report issued by North American and submitted to MSC early in February 1964. (This document became known informally as the "Project Christmas Present Report.")
Christensen said the following items should be considered:
Communications: Now and then the (almost) geostationary satellite Cosmos-2054 (Altair-1) is used for the TsUP-Mir communications. This satellite is standing over 16 dgs West. Sometimes the satellite is used for phone only, but more often to exchange TV-transmissions. On 27.12.1996 during orbit 62024 Korzun explained the experiment Volna and the behaviour of liquids in this instrument could be seen. They use the Altair-1 satellite also for interviews, press-conferences and Packet radio for reception and transmission of radiograms. In the near future the DLR-ground facility in Oberpfaffenhofen will use this satellite for direct contacts with European astronauts.
Radio-amateurism: On 1.01.1997 the crew changed the frequencies for radio-amateur traffic in the 145 Mc band. They now also use duplex (split) for Packet radio traffic. They changed the frequencies as follows: Uplink (transmissions to Mir) for Phone and P/R 145.200 Mc; downlink (from Mir to Earth, for Phone as well as for P/R 145.800 Mc. Changes like this can always be expected: the change which is suitable for 1 region might be unfavourable for other regions. This change is very good for the amateur-satellite band between 145.800-146 Mc as strong ground stations no longer hamper weak Oscar downlink signals around 145.800 Mc.

When the spacecraft reached Mars on December 3, the lander separated from the cruise stage at 19:51 UTC and the two penetrators, Scott and Amundsen, were to separate about 20 seconds later. No further communications were ever received from the spacecraft. Landing had been expected at 20:01 UTC at 76.1S 195.3W, with the penetrators landing a few kilometres from each other at 75.0S 196.5W.
This failure resulted in a review and reassessment of NASA's 'faster, better, cheaper' approach to planetary missions.

The log entries are done within 15 minutes of final awakening for seven consecutive days, as part of the crew's discretionary 'job jar' task list.)
Dr. Whitson conducted her first clinical blood analysis of the US PHS (Periodic Health Status) with Blood Labs exam. Afterwards, all PHS hardware was stowed again.

Yesterday I fired up the Rega Planar 3 with Roksan Corus Blue for the first time since I had it fixed around 6 years ago. Finally thought I'd have a listen to my old vinyl that's been in the cupboard for 20-40 years.
Now then... I could get into this! Shit me I'd forgotten how dynamic vinyl can be. However, I must say it's definitely a bit bright, thin in the mid and can get congested (the sound I mean).
Wot to do to bring the vinyl up to a decent standard? Will a new cartridge suffice in this RB300 arm? Or do I need to start from scratch? Using a Creek phono stage. Frankly, I don't know where to start..haven't kept up with vinyl for so long... in other words.. HELP!

The Year of the Dragon for the Chinese is particularly special and so Rolls Royce at this stage seems to be the first automaker to jump on the Chinese year bandwagon and produce this new Phantom Bespoke model. The Rolls Royce Phantom Year of the Dragon collection has got some lovely touches to what is already the top end of luxury.
The Phantom Dragon collection features a hand-painted gold dragon on the side of the model. The mythical creature also appears embroidered on the headrests and the panel inlay on the passenger side of the dash. Embroided throw cushions and additional piping on the upholstery feature in the rear seats.
The ultimate for us in the Rolls Royce Phantom Dragon collection luxury is probably the illuminated sills with "Year of the Dragon 2012″ in LED lighting. The model is designed as the latest masterpiece to come out of the Rolls Royce Bespoke workshop and obviously with no pricing announced, we're suitable impressed anyway.

Kia has released its first commercial in Italy to launch the new Kia Cee'd hatchback, one of the most exciting car on the market today. Simple and spacious the compact uses the same platform of the Hyundai i30 and incorporates the same technical solutions as larger segment cars.
The C-segment measures 4.31 m in length and is powered by a range of engines including two petrol and three diesels. The 1.4-litre MPI petrol unit delivers 100 hp, while the 1.6-litre GDI has an output of 135 hp. The diesel range includes a 1.4-litre unit with 90 hp and a 1.6-litre in two power levels of 110 and 128 hp.
The car boasts a great Flex Steer system, which allows the driver to change the level of steering assistance in three modes, according to each situation, from city cruising to sporty driving. The interiors are elegant and comfortable, embellished with refined trims and a good infotainment system. It is expected to go on sale in the UK from September.

Is this game worth getting now?
Im posting here with a question. Is this game worth getting
now and days. Has any recent patches ,mods come out that
improved on any problems the game had? Any nice maps that
editors made that improved gameplay? Ill accept all Comments
but please keep the thread clean ;)
The conversion pack makes the game worth getting
Ive played it b4 and i didnt really lk it
Thanks for the input jawa. Im thinking of getting into some fps'
online. So my 3 choices are either bf.bf2 or Academy. So im just
asking for some input on fellow gamers that play this everyday. So
Im just wondering is if the game is still popular and how is
the community. From what ive been reading there are some bad
sports. But thats typical with every game sadly. But I would think
that its not all like that everywhere. I dont mind people making any
special rules but all that complaining over stupid things is pretty
immature of some poeple. I would probally want to host my own games
over all that dumb booting. Its just a game cmon. People should
just come on to have fun instead of taking it seriously. Wish
all gamers were like that -.- .
Hmm, I actually enjoyed Battlefront 2 quite a bit, but I also enjoyed Academy. Academy is really good if you enjoy the lightsaber action and force power stuff, Battlefront is good if you just enjoy battles that involve lasers and vehicles. Battlefront does get a bit boring after playing it alot though, to keep it enjoyable you would probably have to download some extra maps, and I was one of the people dissapointed when Battlefront 2 didn't include many of the good maps in Battlefront.
Ya I agree wombird. Me and my brother would play co op on the xbox
alot of times and its sad that some of are favorite maps (were the tough ones)
were not included. Hope the good ole editors get those maps and some good fun
maps of there own soon. What attracts me to battlefront series is the amount
of people that can play on just 1 match. 64 people is alot and every1 working
together to acheive a certain goal sounds fun. What I find lacking in bf series
is the vehicles. If they want these maps to be like those awesome looking
battle scenes we want more vehicles instead of the limited amount we get. I know
they probally wanted to limit them because if they didnt you would just see
people on vehicles all the time instead of the nice rifle and gunlike playing.
I do hope that they add vehicle like levels with plenty of them around in there
future titles. I may actually get both bf2 and academy actually but since I
dont got me own job I have to convince me parents to get em for me.
What would be very interesting (I'm sure others have said this) is if they combined the space battles with ground battles, so that you could actually fly down to the planet or up to the space battle. I agree that they probably should have more vehicle orientated maps, and I really hope to see a TIE Defender added to the game (they are the ultimate fighter).
Thats a nice idea there Wombird and may happen in future titles.
Add multiples way to win instead of taking over bases.
Have bases in the air and on the ground. It could happen with
next gen technology I think. Just will take alot of time thats all.
If they cant do that. Have a mode like with that 1 big conquer the
galaxy 1 where instead of just 1 team you have 2 teams on 1 side doing
multiple battles at 1nce to decide the fate of 1 place. Now that would
be cool. Also with better technology maybe they can add more
support for more people on 1 map. 64 is alot but with better technology
I would love to see 100 someday.
Theres a mode in the conversion pack which also includes all of the BF1 maps(its what it was first made for but was expanded) where you get tons and tons of vehicles.
Alright I like the sound of that. THank you jawa. They shouldve added
more vehicles in the 1st place.
Hmmm, it's really annoying when they try to make a sequel to 'make the game better' and they leave out some of the best things.
Ya I hope they put a good amount of time going through what worked and
what they need to add in there next sequal. what would be cool though
is if they played out some other famous battles. Battle of Endor in space
most notibly. Imagine controling the death star. WOOOHOOO THE POWER.
'Ahem' gotta control myself here. Would be cool to control star destroyers
and some other famous big ships. Millennium falcon. Hey while there at it add
hero ships to there roster of hero units.
Hmm, a good idea, maybe more access to the capital ships as well, like being able to get onto the bridge and take control. Yes, a Battle of Endor map would be awesome, seems that Battlefront 2 focuses more on the Clone Wars and the newer episodes than the classics, which have some of the best battles.
Ya amazing of what some1 can think up just by posting ;).
Ya hopefully the next game focuses more on the origninal
trilogy. Maybe even get some episode 1 in there.
Controlling star destroyers etc would be awesome in my oppinion.
Maybe have a seige mode or something on a star destroyer.
Now that would be cool.
if your going to talk about BF3, you might as well do it in the BF3 thread
ya true. hehe kinda getting off topic here
Well, until Battlefront 3 comes out, we'll just have to make do with a combination of Battlefield 1 and 2
sup guys i think this should be a secret bf3 idea thread muhahahahahahha!!!!
or you guys can go to starwars battlefront 3 supa thread. its where i've been posting most of my ideas.
tell me what you think of my ideas guys (on the supa thread please)=)
IMHO (And now you guys wanna kill me) - Battlefront should never had been made. I bought Battlefront2 and I hated it! :)
And now there's a Battlefront3 - ugh *shudders*
I think Battlefront was an awesome Idea made up from lucasarts.
Ya ill let you hold your oppinons on the game and everything but I
do like the idea of this game and where this style of play is heading.
THe big problem I guess with battlefront series is its only meant for online
play. There is real no good story modes even though the 2nd game produced a good story mode which was nice and all. THis new aproach to star wars(playing as the troops instead of taking the heros position) is a nice idea actually.
All games arent perfect so hopefully with newer sequals the game will get better and better.
Or find a mod for BF2/2142. Better in any way.
Damoen, PLZ stop double/triple posting.
First Strike mod is making some good progress.
if you play online then it doesn't matter what one you get but for single player i prefer bf 1 because it has a lot of the best maps on it. the single player campaign in bf2 is better and also you can unlock certain items in bf2 depends what kind of game you want really. BTW i have all 3 versions of bf1 and all 4 versions of bf2 and both strategy guides
And that's why kids, some people should not have so much money.
woah... redtechs back?! :D
Well the BF2 forum is just a BF3 super thread and I've already said my piece and let the 'jedi-fetishists' have their way...ain't much more to do really...
there are other forums ya'know ;)
I know, I know...Darth Revan FOREVER!
I would think that it is worth getting now, the only bad part is the difficulty. It's too easy in my opinion, but it's great for multiplayer, same goes for splitscreen on consoles.

Kegel exercises are recommended by physicians, not only to strengthen a woman's pelvic floor, but purportedly aid in her sex life as well, according to Tech Cocktail. Tech Cocktail also reports that many women do not truly know how to perform this type of vaginal maintenance, with up to 30% doing them incorrectly. The kGoal is a device that is supposed to change all that by "guiding, measuring, and tracking pelvic floor exercises," which also provides vibration as a reward, according to a July 5, 2014 BuzzFeed report.
The device, called a fitbit for the vagina, was created by Minna Life. The company is raising money for the device with a Kickstarter campaign, which at press had 873 backers, and was more than $11,000 over its original goal to raise $90,000, with 29 days left to go. BuzzFeed notes there are other devices on the market that claim to strengthen the vagina and the pelvic floor, but they do not track the users progress with an app, unlike the kGoal.
The kGoal's Kickstarter page notes it is a "smart Kegel trainer: it is a device + app that provides a fun, interactive platform to guide, measure and track your pelvic floor exercise." In essence, the kGoal is a "squeezable pillow" inserted into the vagina, which measures the compression of the pelvic floor muscles. In addition, the makers state, "...there is also a motor for providing real time vibrational biofeedback."
The kGoal also has an "arm" attached to it that stays outside the body and holds the kGoal pillow in place. It also contains the device's interface and has a "second vibrational motor that can be used together with or instead of the motor in the pillow," according to the device's creators.
The kGoal device, which is described by makers as totally body-safe because it is made from Class VI medical grade silicone that is completely phthalate free, can work with or without the app connected and comes with a USB charger. According to BuzzFeed, the device is expected to retail for about $175 once it is available for sale.

Okay, so we're not supposed to tell little girls they are pretty because there is a good possibility they might grow up to think they need plastic surgery. We need to encourage other forms of value and self-worth like reading books. That is what the author Lisa Bloom talked about in her article, How to talk to little girls. Another thing to add to my oh crap am I doing this whole mothering thing right? list.
I had two little girls after having four boys in a row. I always squealed about how precious and how cute and how adorable and how pretty etc etc. they were. I still do. I couldn't help myself. Their femininity was heady and powerful. I mean, after years of testicles and roly poly bugs, of course it would be.
I often worry that I'm not setting a good enough example. That I'm not encouraging their feminist natures. Am I making a concerted effort to show them there is more to life than beauty, clothes and shoes? At this stage of the game, they enjoy playing with dolls, carrying their babies in homemade slings (really, just purses that they hang around their neck), dressing up their Barbies, role-playing ("I'm the mama and you're the daddy and you just come home from work and you're happy to see me!") and flouncing around in their princess dresses.
When all this is going on and they come to me and ask, Mama, do I look pretty? what do I say?
"Meh. You're alright."
Because I do. I have actually said that.
"Mom! You are sooo mean." And then we laugh together.
I feel like my daughters have a healthy mix. Even though they love to play dress up and nurse their babies, they also love to play dodge ball and rap and climb trees, solve math problems and go toe-to-toe with their big brothers. And I still tell them they are beautiful because it is my honest opinion.
Do you feel like you have to talk to your daughters differently, to combat the messages are constantly being bombarded with from the media?
