My thoughts on the scale
Wednesday, April 16, 2008
I am noticing how much the scale is affecting me, lately. I know it's suggested that I weigh myself once a week but I'm lucky if I can stick to once a day. The ones later in the day don't have an affect on me, good or bad, but I am noticing that my mood and thoughts seem to obsess with how much I've lost.
Many days it's a good thing. I think to myself "I can tell people I lost (fill in number) pounds". Today I didn't go to the gym because I'm going to take a long walk after work. I use the scale there to have my official weight loss because I feel it's not as temperamental as my home one. So I step on my home one for a general gauge and I lost 1.5 pounds from yesterday. My thoughts all day have been…
I wish I would have gone to the gym.
I wonder if it's true or if it's proportional to the gym scale.
Can I tell people I lost 31.5 pounds now? Or could it be 32?
In the big reality of things…a pound or two is not that big of deal. That's the other thoughts I have had today. I am quite lucky that I haven't really gained any weight (one pound at the most) but do get a little down (not totally, thank God) if I am the same weight a few days in a row.
Yesterday I thought I would have a goal of only weighing in every Tuesday. Then reward myself with something in two weeks. One would think that this would be an easy goal…but it's not. I think it's harder than sticking to 1200-1500 calories a day. Heck, I even obsessed for two days on whether I should write about it thinking if I do, then I'll have to do something about it. Maybe I should start out small and reward for every other day or something.
OK, now I'm just rambling!!!
I know I'm doing well. In addition to over 30 pounds I've also lost over 15 inches so I do look for other signs of progress, too. Maybe it's not so bad that I weigh daily.

Thanks for the congrats on my 3 lb loss. You're right! A loss is a loss and I am going to be happy for every pound gone.
I was also reading your blog and I have the same problem. I want to step on that scale every single day but I realized one day that the scale was dictating how I felt about myself every day. I had a love/hate relationship with myself. If I was down a pound I was pleased with myself and would feel too relaxed about my eating and therefore gain back that pound. If I was up a pound, which was inevitable, I literally hated myself that day. I felt it was best to set the scale aside and work my hardest to lose weight during that week and see the results at the end of that week. It works for me. Yes, I am tempted to step on that scale in the middle of the week and yes, resisting that temptation is harder than keeping within my calorie range! But I work harder at it if I don't see right away and hopefully I will see better results.
And for you......31.5 or 32 pounds what's the difference!!! You've done great! I do think you should just pick one scale and stick to that one. Then you will know the true weight loss.

So I read your post and I couldn't help but think of myself. Well my gym had an old doctor's scale that clearly wasn't right. So they replaced it with two floor scales with digital readouts. I am not even kidding here, there was an exact 4 pound difference between one and the other. It didn't matter where you put it at all.
So a couple of weeks ago I go in on Saturday to work out and to weigh myself that day and one of the scales is gone. Now, I don't know which one is left. The correct one (read the lower amount one here : ) ) or the extra four pounds one.
So I get on the scale and I know it is the extra four pounds one because it says I gained two pounds. Which is not even possible with the way I had been eating and working out. Nonetheless, it threw me into a tail spin. I was grumpy and moody all day until my work out the next day. I was going to even go and buy a scale for my house and use that scale as my measure.
Well long story short, I come into the gym a couple of days later and there is now an old style one with the dial with numbers on it and the digital one. Neither one is correct. they are both about 4 pounds heavy give or take. I have decided to just give it up and not worry about it. I am gauging my weight loss and the accuracy of the scale simply on how much I am working out and how I am eating.
Accepting that the scale can be wrong, it can be that time of the month, you are bloated and all of these things are factors but KNOWING that I did all I was supposed to and am still takes the anxiety out of the number. Sticking with it and moving forward is so much more of a challenge for me than the number on the scale.
So here is my completely unsolicited advice. Toss your scale at home. Don't use it. That same impatience to see a lower number on the scale and to see a sleeker form in the mirror will be the impatience that will allow you to throw up your hands and say forget it. The weight did not come on overnight and it will not come off overnight. You have lost 30 pounds. That is amazing! You are now 30 pounds closer to your goal and you have three months of experience to draw on for what is working for you and what isn't.
You know as well as anyone that the scale keeps you accountable but it isn't a measure of your effort and dedication, it is only a non-reliable and innacurate approximation of your current, at that moment, body mass. Don't let it be the only factor you measure yourself with. Good luck.

I resolved to do everything I could to be able to run that race, and I started spending hours each day in the gym. Three days before the race, I went back to see my doctor. If he said I absolutely couldn't run, then I was going to walk the entire 26.2-mile course, even if it took me all day. During my cross-training, I diligently kept track of how long I trained, the time of day and what my pain felt like. And for the last three days before my appointment, I hadn't felt any pain at all.
My doctor said, "I see you're determined to do this. Go run a few miles and see how you feel." So that night I went for a run. It was the first time I'd run since my injury, and it really hurt. But I was committed to starting the race in two days.
Reconnected on Race Day
Fred and I are standing at the starting line in a crowd of other runners. I'm more nervous and scared than excited. How long will I be able to run before it starts to hurt? I'm determined to finish, but how long will it take me? Will Fred have to leave me behind? The starting gun sounds and we take off. As we cover the course, I remember what my doctor said: "You can run some, but make sure you walk when you need to." I'm setting a good pace for me, but I keep waiting for the pain. It doesn't come.
Still, I slow down to walk around mile 17. I tell Fred to go on ahead, and he runs past me. I keep walking by myself. After about a mile, I see Fred's wife. She tells me he's not that far ahead – I can catch up. I start to run again, and in a few minutes I reach him. We decide then that we're going to finish the race together, side by side. The last few miles drag by. Fred and I run, then walk; run, then walk. I feel like it's never going to be over! It's only when I cross the finish line that I let myself feel the excitement. My childhood dream has come true!
Beyond the Finish Line
I immediately started making plans for my next race, though I knew I'd have to take some time off to truly let my body recuperate. Running before my stress fracture was fully healed meant I wound up with a much longer recovery period – but it was worth it.
I approach both running and living differently now. Before I ran this race, I had a huge chip on my shoulder and constantly felt like I had to prove myself to everyone. But instead of proving to others that I could run a marathon, I wound up showing myself that I can make my dreams come true, whatever obstacles are in my way. I've learned how to face setbacks without letting them define me. I'm not just a runner with arthritis. That's only one part of my identity. I know now I can relax and be myself – and achieve anything I set my heart on.
Fred and I are planning to turn our next marathon together in November into a real race. We've already agreed that we won't wait for each other – it's going to be every man for himself. Even if I cross the finish line by myself, though, I'm not crossing it alone. The words and encouragement of my friends, family, co-workers and running buddies will be playing through my mind for every step of the 26.2 miles, helping me push myself go farther and faster. For all these years I thought I was alone in my struggle with arthritis and my life was essentially over. Crossing the finish line of my first marathon made me realize that this is just the start.

Public Employees' Retirement System Plan 1 (PERS 1) is closed to new participants. The Department of Retirement Systems (DRS) provides plan information in its PERS Plan 1 Member Handbook.
PERS 1 is 401(a) defined-benefit plan. You and the University contribute money that funds your retirement income and, upon retirement, you will receive your retirement benefit based on a formula which includes your years of service credit and average final compensation. Here is how it works:
PERS 1 benefits are based on a formula—see "Calculating Your PERS 1 Retirement Benefits" below. The key to that formula is earning "service credit" for the time you are enrolled in PERS 1. There are two ways to earn service credit: month by month, or over an annual basis.
Month by month service credit is earned as follows:
At an institution of higher learning such as UW, you may receive 12 service credit months for the "school year" (i.e. September 1 – August 31) if you:
Note: If you earn compensation in fewer than nine months of the school year, you will receive service credit based on the number of hours compensated each month.
Your average final compensation is the average of your 24 consecutive highest-paid service credit months.
Enacted on July 26, 2009, for compensation earned during the 2009 – 2011 fiscal biennium, the average final compensation used to calculate a retirement benefit will not be affected by salary reductions if that reduction is due to a reduction of hours, voluntary leave without pay or temporary furloughs if the action is based on the employer's effort to reduce expenditures.
Monthly retirement income = 2% x service credit years x average final compensation ÷ 12 months
Suppose you retire at age 60 with 29.5 years of service credit and an average final compensation of $2,500 per month. Your monthly retirement benefit will be $1,475, calculated as follows:
2% x 29.5 years x $2,500
2% x 29.5 years = .59
.59 x $2,500 = $1,475
This calculation results in the standard single-life only benefit. It will be different if you choose to continue benefits to a survivor upon your death.
In addition:
Enrollment in PERS 1 is automatic upon eligibility and confirmation of past PERS 1 employment. You should keep your beneficiary designation up to date by contacting the Department of Retirement Systems (DRS).
If you leave PERS 1 eligible employment before you retire, you have a few choices regarding your PERS 1 account.
Your choices are:
If you withdraw your contributions before retirement, you lose your right to future retirement benefits. You can restore your contributions and re-establish your benefits under certain circumstances. Explore the PERS website for more information including member publications.
See Retiring From the UW Under PERS 1 Rules.
Disclaimer: If there are any discrepancies between this document and the provisions of the UWRP Plan Document or PERS statutes, the Plan Document or statue will prevail.

Dear Mr. Buffett,
Congratulations on your purchase of Empire Distributing, and roughly 25% of the wine and spirits distribution business in Georgia and North Carolina that came with it. And welcome to the wine and spirits world -- we need more enlightened business people in this industry.
I can't say that I've followed your career with precision, but I've read a decent amount about you, and try to read the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Report every year. After all, I'm one of your shareholders, and I learn a lot from you and Charlie Munger.
In everything I've read, you strike me as someone who appreciates fairness, competition, and above all, the power of the marketplace to improve everyone's situation if it is left alone to work well. Given the choice between heavy handed regulation and deregulation, you strike me as a deregulation kind of guy, especially when it frees consumers to vote with their dollars.
I'm sure it hasn't escaped you that the wine and spirits distribution marketplace that you just bought into is seriously screwed up. For instance, we can start with the fact that you can't get any more than 25% of the market share in Georgia because of their particular state liquor franchise laws -- regardless of whether you offer better products, better service, and better prices to your customers.
Likewise you'll find yourself hobbled as you move into other states, and completely prevented from moving into others, thanks to state-run monopolies on liquor distribution, sweetheart deals that are designed to keep out competition, and all manner of regulations that will keep you from being able to serve wine and spirits drinkers that would certainly like to broaden their horizons and have access to different kinds of products that you might offer.
Of course, those facts can't have escaped you any more than the fact that in the past 20 years we've gone from roughly 7000 different wine and spirits distributors in this country to only 700. I'm not sure whether that was part of the growth potential you saw in Empire when you picked it up this week, but I imagine it factors in somewhere.
So let me get to the point. I think you now have the opportunity, and the obligation, to get on board with those of us who think the time has come to throw out the prohibition-era, antiquated laws we've got on the books and put something rational in place that benefits both consumers and business owners like yourself.
In short, I urge you to renounce membership to the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America, and instead support the efforts of those like Free the Grapes and the SWRA who are trying to turn this country into a real wine and spirits marketplace. We need a marketplace where companies can compete to meet consumer demands without meddling by state bureaucracies and cronyism. We need businesses more interested in growing the overall market, than using scare tactics and BS to protect their little slices of it.
All the analysts say that with this purchase you're betting on the Millennials as the largest wine drinking generation in decades. That seems like a pretty good bet to me. And since these young wine drinkers are more interested in a diverse, wide range of products and services, I hope you'll join those of us who want to expand choice and buying opportunities in the market.
Raising my glass to you,

"This was really disappointing. We were really fired up for this team. We had a solid first half, but lacked in leadership and experience. I'm just disappointed. This is something we've obviously seen this year, but it is upsetting that we shot like that.
We've got good offensive players, but I think they have to work harder. We're at home and we're not shooting well and that is really upsetting.
Part of it (the reason for the loss) is just us rushing, it is a maturity thing. When you are experienced and mature you just take your time and hit your shots. It's amazing how tense you can be when you are down.
The bottom line is we needed to put the ball in the basket, but we made some bonehead turnovers, and hopefully we can figure out our lazy passes. We're not sharp with our passes and we need to work on it."
Quoting Oregon head coach Jody Runge:
"I'm not happy with the rebounding. The biggest thing we talked about was not letting Arizona State force us so far out from the basket. It was hard to execute on offense from standing at the sideline or out above the three-point line.
Well I think ASU was a much improved team last year and I think they've doubled that this year. I think they are playing really, really hard."
On Oregon player Natasha O'Brien:
"Tasha is a senior really trying to take a leadership role and hit the big basket. I think her and Shaq (Shaquala Williams) shooting the ball in the stretch run really made a huge impact on confidence."

At NAMM 2013, IK Multimedia announced two portable streaming speakers that it claimed were "on par" with conventional studio monitors. At this year's trade show, the company has added what's said to be "the smallest studio reference monitoring system in the world" to its iLoud range. Aimed at musicians and producers who are not necessarily confined to the recording studio when mixing and mastering, the iLoud Micro Monitors are reported to deliver stunning clear and accurate audio.Read More
Don't go thinking that the Tone Tank is just a big boy's toy, it's not. It's a serious piece of studio equipment, on a par with the mixing desk and professional monitors – well, perhaps not quite. In addition to adding a bit of fun to the studio floor, this RC military tank allows sound engineers to precisely position studio microphones without having to constantly leave the console. And yes, the cannon is fully functional.Read More
At noon today, the very last BBC World Service broadcast was aired from London's Bush House, ending a residency lasting over 70 years. The whole of the Corporation's famous international service has now moved to new state-of-the-art offices at Broadcasting House in Portland Place, near Oxford Circus. All of the equipment, furniture, fixtures and fittings, however, have been left behind and are being sold off to the highest online bidder. The first of two sales is already open for bidding and includes complete mono and stereo mixing studios, a TV studio, a mind-boggling catalog of studio equipment, BBC memorabilia, office furniture and a Steinway grand piano.Read More
As someone who spends a good deal of time taking photographs of new consumer technology, only to subsequently enjoy hours of tedium touching up my snaps in image manipulation software, I have to admit to being pretty excited by the new 3D PhotoBench 260 from Ortery Technologies.

A new portable digital recording unit has just been added to the BOSS guitar and bass family. Capable of recording up to four tracks simultaneously and playing back eight at a time, the BR800 also has high-end, onboard vocal and instrument effects and its own rhythm generator. Although there's still a splattering of dials and sliders, most of the user controls are now operated by a gentle tap on the device's surface.Read More
If you've ever sold something on eBay or Kijiji, you'll know how surprisingly difficult it can be to get a clean, well-lit shot of even the simplest of objects - you don't want a distracting background, insufficient light, or overly asymmetrical lighting. Or, perhaps you're required to get a large number of on-location shots for something such as a catalog, but you don't want to drag along a lot of gear. In either case, the Simp-Q is what you need. Putting it simply, it's a self-contained photo studio. We had a chance to check it out at this year's China International Consumer Electronics Show (SINOCES), and were pretty impressed with the shots it allowed us to take. Read More
The MicroBook from MOTU aims to bring professional level studio recording capabilities to a Mac or PC computer.

It uses industry standard Mac and PC drivers to ensure maximum software compatibility and is small and light enough to fit in a pocket.Read More
A chance meeting at 35,000ft some three years ago between a movie studio executive and a Polaroid eyewear product development manager has resulted in the first Designer 3D collection of frames that are RealD approved and certified (RealD technology is used in most 3D applications). During an international flight, Rhett Adam from Look 3D Eyewear was given a "heads-up" by a studio exec about the impending 3D onslaught and quickly identified a new market. By the time he'd landed in his native Australia, the then 35-year-old had put in place plans to quit his job and embark on a new adventure. From those humble beginnings, Look 3D Eyewear was born and the company now has four series of passive 3D viewing glasses that come in a huge variety of styles. Say goodbye to looking like a nerd while viewing 3D content.Read More
Imagine if you could take professional-looking photos and create 3D product animations as easily as using the office copier. Ortery's Photosimile 5000 system aims to bring that capability to the office by enabling even non-photographers to create high-quality images just by pressing a few buttons. The Photosimile 5000 is a PC-controlled desktop photography studio that integrates a light box, a DSLR camera, automated camera positioning, and specialized workflow software to simplify and automate business photography.Read More
Logitech's in-ear monitor maker, Ultimate Ears, has announced the forthcoming release of a new member of its professional audio family - the UE 18 Pro six high fidelity speakers per bud, noise canceling monitors.

I surprised my husband on our honeymoon with this Helicopter tour and luncheon, and it was absolutely incredible! Our pilot was extremely friendly and personable, the flight was exciting and beautiful, and the food at Tallavera Groves was one of the best meals either of us have ever had. The table we had overlooking the vineyard was picture-perfect as we had lunch, and we really enjoyed the wine tastings and ended up getting a bottle of Tawny. It's expensive, but this activity is well worth it!

We rate this experience very highly. Seeing Sydney from the air is a great way to get orientated.
Hunter Valley and restaurant were fantastic.
We were picked up early and easily. Staff along the way were very friendly and others we met were hilarious.
I would do this again and recommend this to others.

This was a fantastic experience. The pilot was great, the sites spectacular, and the meal and wine tasting with the view over the valley was something that will stay with me forever. At first glance you may think it's a lot of money but do it you'll love it. John, Carole and Michelle

Fantastic! Truly made our holiday exceptional. It was expensive but in our view was money well spent. Having a helicopter to ourselves was the ultimate in luxury. The food was amazing and the setting was spectacular. Do this trip - it is wonderful!

Pull out that nug of weed you've got lying around and sit down with us for a minute. Get serious for a second...seriously high of course. Now take a look at this:
Doesn't that make you hungry? Aren't you so hungry that you would do some nasty ass things to get a piece of that?
Exactly what we thought...
But what is it that makes you get the munchies after smoking? What is that musk-like aroma that drives you to ravage those pic-a-nic baskets you Yogi Bear-ish toking fiends?
Well, according to new scientific research, that is your olfactory receptors at differing stages of arousal (if you will) due to their interactions with both exogenous and endocannabinoids.
"During the study [Giovanni Marsicano] and colleagues at Neurocentre Magendie in Bordeaux, France, discovered that it's the presence of these natural cannabinoids in the human nose, and their activation, which increases the amount of food eaten. They also discovered that the receptors' activation by external cannabinoids, such as those found in marijuana or hashish, can further up the ante of appetite."
So why we get the munchies? Because we're smelling that food from a mile away like a dog smelling piss. We can't get enough of it.
Check out their full findings over at Nature Neuroscience.

Will the SLX calipers work with the "long-arm" SM-RT79 rotors?
I have Deore M555 calipers on my bike and the rotor "arms" interfere with the caliper body.
I'm wondering if the SLX M665 calipers would work or if I can only run the XT M775 calipers.
Before anyone says change the rotors.... I already have a set that work with the Deore calipers but I'd like to use this as an opportunity to upgrade into a nicer brake setup.
Thanks in advance!

text: Apr 12, 2013 17:19 Acadiana fugitive airs complaints on YouTube Acadiana fugitive airs complaints on YouTube This image of fugitive Wade Lohse comes from a YouTube video he posted on Sunday, in which he claimed he's being persecuted by the government. The Youngsville man disappeared from court March 25, a day when his defense attorney and prosecutors were meeting to discuss a plea agreement on charges of vehicular homicide, burglary and felon in possession of a firearm. BY BILLY GUNN | Acadiana bureau Comments LAFAYETTE — A Youngsville man facing a vehicular homicide charge who vanished from court last month has posted a YouTube video claiming he's being railroaded by Lafayette Parish prosecutors. In the video, posted Sunday on the Internet, Wade Lohse, 43, claims he wasn't drunk last summer when he crashed his Jeep Cherokee into the vehicle driven by Cacie Barras McGrew, a collision that killed the 29-year-old woman on Youngsville Highway. He complained that police and prosecutors are "trying to make me look like a bad guy." Wearing a gray T-shirt, hair uncombed and face unshaven and standing amid a grove of trees, Lohse doesn't say where he is when he shot the 11-minute, 18-second video. He also does not say whether he had accomplices who helped him escape or if he has someone helping him elude police. Lohse was last seen by his attorney, Thomas Alonzo, and 15th Court District prosecutor J.N. Prather on the morning of March 25 as they were trying to work out a plea agreement on three charges Lohse was facing. They included a felon in possession of a weapon that was to go to trial that morning, the vehicular homicide charge and a burglary charge. Lohse, who was out on bond at the time of his disappearance, told his attorney and others at the courthouse that he had to deposit coins in the meter where he'd parked. After he walked out the door, he was not seen again. "The problem is that you people (police and prosecutors) are going to make me look like a bad guy," Lohse says in nonstop, run-on sentences in the YouTube spot, "because you want them (the public) to be on your side when really the problem is that you're the bad people because you're going after people for no reason. "You're wasting your resources on stuff that is inconsequential at this point because you just want to put me in prison …" he says. Efforts to reach members of McGrew's family and friends Monday afternoon were unsuccessful, but social media sites like the Facebook "Justice for Cacie Barras McGrew" page were active with indignant posts after the YouTube video was posted online. "I am so sick to my stomach," Alisha Funk said on the Facebook page. "No matter what kind of excuses (Lohse) makes, hiding in the woods will not help his cause nor will his video take away Justice for Cacie Barras McGrew. … An innocent man never has to hide," Funk wrote, adding she hoped McGrew's family, "God willing … won't have to watch it ever!" Minutes into the video, Lohse claims he wasn't drunk when he crashed into McGrew and alleges that accident investigators didn't accurately describe the crash. He also claims prosecutors have not allowed him to see the victim's cellphone records that could show she was texting or talking on the phone when the vehicles collided. Prather, the assistant district attorney prosecuting both the vehicular homicide and weapons charges against Lohse, said he isn't buying the escapee's story. Prather also said the government has turned over to Lohse and his attorney all the evidence they requested. "Anything they've asked for we've gotten to them," Prather said Monday. "If he wants his due process, we can sure give it to him." The Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office on Friday asked the U.S. Marshals Service to place Lohse on the service's top 15 most wanted fugitives list. Judice said authorities already have designated Lohse the No. 1 fugitive for Lafayette Parish. Sheriff's Office Capt. Kip Judice on Monday said Lohse has not yet been placed on the list and that parish detectives continue a multi-state search. Judice said sheriff's officials also are awaiting word on Lohse's appearance on the television show "America's Most Wanted." "We're investigating some leads, but none yet with any significance," Judice said. In the video, Lohse claims he had a constitutional right to have a gun when he was arrested in 2010. According to federal court records, Lohse, who also has gone by the name of John Kline, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in New Orleans to illegal possession of firearms. Former federal Judge G.T. Porteous Jr. on Feb. 11, 1998, sentenced Lohse to 10 years in prison and three years of supervision when he released. Lohse was released Nov. 9, 2006, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Prather said Lohse was charged in 2010 with a felony weapons violation because it is illegal for those who have been convicted of felonies to own or possess firearms.

Setoffs And Bankruptcy
Banks And The Right Of Setoff
Many people are unaware that owing money to your bank can result in the bank freezing your account or deducting money from your account to cover the personal debt. In most cases, the bank does not even have to notify you before doing this. This right is known as the bank's right of setoff. State laws regarding setoff vary. In some states, you must agree to the setoff at the time that you request the loan. In other circumstances, the bank can try to get a court order allowing the setoff. Keep in mind that banks may be able to take similar action in circumstances where you have overdraft protection or a line of credit on your checking account. In order to fully understand the complicated setoff laws, it is in your best interest to hire a bankruptcy attorney.
Why You Should Hire A Bankruptcy Attorney
During times of financial difficulty, many people falsely believe that they can save money by handling legal matters themselves. Not only will handling a legal matter yourself require a great deal of time and effort, you might make some bad decisions that end up costing you more money in the long run. Bankruptcy attorneys can advise you as to whether filing for bankruptcy is in your best interest. Bankruptcies are time-sensitive matters that relate to your recent financial history. An experienced attorney can analyze that history and make recommendations as to the best course of action.
How Bankruptcy Affects Setoff
In most states that allow setoff, that right may be retained, even if the indebted party declares bankruptcy. Filing bankruptcy institutes an automatic stay that limits debt collection by creditors, but banks can get around this stay by asking the court for permission to take your funds. In a complicated area of law such as bankruptcy, having an attorney on your side is a huge benefit. Your bankruptcy will not be final until your discharge date, and many problems can arise between the day you file and the date you are discharged. Your financial transactions just before declaring bankruptcy may even be voided by the bankruptcy trustee. In these circumstances, you need a knowledgeable and experienced bankruptcy attorney to fight for your rights. Contact a bankruptcy lawyer today to discuss whether bankruptcy is the best option for you.

backup hdd
Just lost my LBP save to a corrput file, an my son lost Star Wars Force Unleashed save same way. Not going to worry about warranty as I'll be upgrading soon anyway.
I just bought an external hdd.
Questions: Does the external hdd have to used solely for the PS3 save? I've already loaded it up with videos, music and stuff. Should I have done the PS3 first? Does it save an image or compress it all to a file?
You can copy save files for games specificly from the PS3 HD without doing a full backup/image of the PS3 HD
Wouldn't hurt to make a folder or partition to store the save files in on the portable USB HD.
Be aware that some games won't let you back up your saved games. Guitar Hero World tour won;t let me copy the saved game data, nor will ACDC Rockband :(
Don't know why :confused:
thats no good x4, same kinda thing happened to us...
bikkies put linux on the ps3 and it deleted our saves and all his SF4 unlocks
All backed up now. It saves in a compressed format into what looks like files only readable by the PS3. No conflict with files already there.

Alumni Achievement Awards Presented at Homecoming 2010
McKenzie native Lisa Ramsay Cole was recognized as Bethel University's 2010 Alumni Achievement winner during Homecoming 2010 festivities Nov. 5 and 6.
Cole graduated cum laude from Bethel College in 1987 with a Bachelor of Science in Natural Science. While at Bethel, Lisa was a member of the Women's Tennis Team, Vice President and President of Iota Alpha Omega Sorority, a member of the Student Government Association and received the award as the senior athlete with the highest grade point average.
After graduating from Bethel, Cole attended the University of Tennessee College of Law where she distinguished herself as a member of the National Environmental Moot Court Team and National Moot Court Team. The National Environmental Moot Court Team placed second in the national competition. In that competition, which included students from all major law schools in the country, she was named Best Oralist in the final round and UT's team received the distinction of Best Brief for their legal writing. She also received the McClung Medal, the award bestowed on the most outstanding student in the Moot Court Program.
Upon her graduation from the College of Law in 1993, Cole joined the Tennessee law firm of Lewis, King, Krieg and Waldrop, PC as an associate in their Knoxville office. Lewis King is one of the ten largest law firms in the state with offices in Knoxville, Nashville and Sevierville. She practiced in the firm's Knoxville office until 1995, when she moved to Nashville. After getting married and having her first child, Cole modified her work schedule to be at home part of the time, but Lewis King still made her a shareholder in 2003. Cole is believed to be the first woman named partner at a large Tennessee law firm while working part-time.
Cole currently serves as the Managing Partner of Lewis King's Nashville office and practices in the area of employment law and medical malpractice. She is the only female managing partner of any of the 25 largest firms in Nashville. Cole also serves on the Board of Directors of Lewis King, is a member of the firm's shareholder compensation committee, is the hiring partner for the Nashville office and is the Chair of the firm's Employment Practice Group.
She has been recognized for her leadership in the Bar and the Nashville community. She is a past board member of the Nashville and Tennessee Young Lawyers Division. She was appointed by American Bar Association President Robert Grey to serve on the Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service. Cole is a past board member of the Junior League of Nashville. She is currently the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors of the Sexual Assault Center and chairs its Development Committee, and is slated to become the Chair of its Board in 2012. Cole has been instrumental in fundraisers for Centerstone Mental Health Center, Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, the Exchange Club of Nashville, Belle Meade Plantation, the Nashville Symphony, and The Ensworth School.
Cole's husband, Jonathan, is a shareholder with the law firm of Baker Donelson and currently serves as President of the Nashville Bar Association. The Coles have two children: Anna Grace, a sixth grader at The Harpeth Hall School, and Ramsay, a second grader at The Ensworth School. Cole served as her daughter's girl scout troop leader for five years and is currently involved in organizing her son's cub scout troop. The Coles together teach their son's second grade Sunday school class and recently chaired The Ensworth School's Annual Fund. Cole also currently serves on the Parent Council at The Harpeth Hall School.
Cole is the daughter of the late Dana C. Ramsay, a Bethel graduate, and Dorothy Manner Ramsay. Lisa's grandfather, Dr. Calvin Ramsay, was mathematics professor at Bethel in the 1930s and 1940s.
Tina Tuggle, a 2009 graduate of Bethel University, was presented the Young Alumni Achievement Award. Tuggle enters her 14th season with the Tennessee Titans and her fourth as Director of Player Development. In her role with the team, Tuggle assists Titans players with continuing education, financial education, career internships and player assistance programs.
Tuggle, who previously served as the Executive Assistant to the Executive Vice President/General Manager and Director of Football Operations, has worked closely with the team's player development initiatives since 1998. She also serves as the players' insurance representative for the team and has worked in both the player personnel and scouting departments.
Behind Tuggle's contributions, the Titans' player development department won the Winston/Shell Award in 2006 for its innovation and commitment to player development. The department was also recognized as the NFL's most improved player development program from 1998-99 after her arrival.
In 2005, Tuggle was selected to represent the Tennessee Titans club at the NFL's Stanford Executive Training Program at the Stanford Business School, where she took part in upper level management training. She was selected to participate in the Football Operations Personnel Symposium in spring 2007. Most recently for the 2007-08 season, Tuggle won the NFL's Best Player's Assistance Program of the Year.
In 2009, Tuggle was appointed to the NFL Player Development Steering Committee. The purpose of the committee is to assist NFL Player & Employee Development by providing advice and opinions in matters related to off-field support of players and their families.
Tuggle lives in Bellevue, Tenn.

One person who won't be reading Courtney Robertson's tell-all book, "I Didn't Come Here to Make Friends: Confessions of a Reality Show Villain," is her ex-fiance Ben Flajnik. In a statement to People magazine, posted on Wednesday, June 18, the former "Bachelor" star bashed his ex for spilling all the secrets about their relationship and the show, as well as her other famous hook-ups.
Ben, the winemaker from San Francisco, starred in season 16 of the hit show. Courtney, a model from Santa Monica, quickly filled the villain role. She repeatedly said that she did not go on the show to make friends. Her scheming ways and vicious talk certainly didn't earn her many friends nor fans. Despite many viewers' fervent hopes that Ben would see her true character, he ultimately rejected the seemingly more innocent and sweeter Lindzi Cox and proposed to Courtney.
Courtney's new book reveals several things that Ben likely would've preferred to kept secret. The biggest being that they actually did have sex, albeit very briefly and barely, in the ocean while the cameras were rolling. She also claimed that he was jealous and controlling of her, telling her that if she did "Dancing with the Stars," she wouldn't have a fiance. Besides Ben, Courtney also talks about her past with actors Jesse Metcalfe and Adrian Grenier, the private parts of which Courtney described in intimate detail, and agent Jim Toth.
While Ben has made clear before that he doesn't think very highly of his ex, even he thinks her latest bid to stay famous is deplorable. He called the tell-all "a new low, even for Courtney." He said that he doesn't understand "why she would choose to have people look at her the way she has portrayed herself." He added that he's "in a really great place in life" and doesn't "have any interest in reliving the nightmare."
Ben Flajnik has definitely moved on from his "Bachelor" love Courtney Robertson. On Tuesday, June 17, he posted a photo of him and his new girlfriend and revealed that they're moving in together.

Can the dietitian please tell me: do the egg whites have this high level of potassium as shown in your Nutrients table? Also, I am about 15 pounds underweight and have difficulty eating. If I make a smoothie 8 oz egg whites, 1/4 cup greek yogurt (0%fat), 2 tblsp honey, 1/4 cup frozen wild blueberries, would that help me gain weight? Dietitian comment: Yes, one egg white from a large egg contains 53 mg potassium. One cup of liquid egg whites is equal to 8 egg whites. Weight gain is based on total daily calorie intake. Check out the beverage recipes on DaVita.com for more higher calorie smoothie ideas.
I am a dietitian with Davita. I made this for my patients and it was ok. I wouldn't really call it a smoothie- more of a creamy milk type drink. I might add more cool whip or some vanilla protein powder next time.

Completes the Scene
By island dreamer
from California
Purchase Reason
I added this piece to the artist's "Floral Patio I" and "Floral Patio II" for my office. It completes the idea of being in a lovely small seaside town, perhaps in Greece. Together, these pieces have brightened my office and add a sense of peace and calm to my otherwise very hectic work life.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

What would happen if I flew to San Francisco?
Wouldn't make much sense from the outside looking in
Coming around again
All the answers, far too many questions
All the things we said never really put to bed
Coming around again
You know I love you, what am I supposed to do?
You're so far away
I stay on track, you're all over the map
Come back to L A
You know I love you, what am I supposed to do?
I've been here before
I stay on track, you're all over the map
Come back to New York
Is this the only way for us to communicate?
I put it in a song, didn't really take too long
Coming around again, coming around again

The League believes that the role of the federal government should include the following:(see website for complete text)
Here is a summary of the results of our local League's study on this issue: Capo Bay Ed Study
The League believes that some government provided services could be delivered more efficiently by private entities; however, privatization is not appropriate in all circumstances. Privatization is not appropriate when the provision of services by the government is necessary to preserve the common good, to protect national or local security or to meet the needs of the most vulnerable members of society. While the League recognizes that the definition of core government services will vary by level of government and community values, services fundamental to the governance of a democratic society should not be privatized in their entirety. These services include the electoral process, justice system, military, public safety, public health, education, transportation, environmental protection and programs that protect and provide basic human needs.
The decision to privatize a public service should be made after an informed, transparent planning process and thorough analysis of the implications of privatizing service delivery. While specific criteria will vary by service and local conditions, the League believes the following considerations apply to most decisions to transfer public services, assets and functions to the private sector: (complete text can be found at Privitization)
Referendum voting often confuses voters. The question is asked in what is sometimes described as a "backwards" manner--whether a voter wishes to retain the law under question.

Instead of focusing on strengthening the economy and growing jobs, it includes the REINS Act (S. 299), a bill that would actually create far more regulatory uncertainty by throwing every regulatory issue into the Congress. More pollution and uncertainty won't create jobs.
One of the most sweeping and radical bills ever to be considered by a Congress, REINS would undo more than 100 years of safeguards by allowing just one chamber of Congress to block law enforcement of existing statutory protections -- from worker safety, to public health, to Wall Street reform. This would make Congress the required arbiter of every technical question and business dispute, would allow a single chamber of Congress to stop any regulation, no matter what the substantive record showed, and, in one fell swoop, would effectively rewrite virtually every environmental and other regulatory statute by making their requirements unenforceable.
S.1786 also includes rollbacks for clean air standards that will protect public health by limiting dangerous pollutants like toxic mercury, arsenic, soot, and smog, from the nation's largest pollution sources, including incinerators, and cement plants. The bill's many other health and environmental rollbacks include an attack on the National Environmental Protection Act and unnecessarily delays life-saving standards.
Let us be absolutely clear: sacrificing tens of thousands of American lives will not create more jobs. Poisoning the air our children and our families breathe will not stimulate the economy. Burdening the American people with hundreds of billions of dollars in health and welfare costs will not lead to sustained economic growth. Sowing the seeds of massive economic uncertainty will not help the economy.
Now more than ever, the American people need their members of Congress to work together to solve the nation's problems in a bipartisan manner. We urge you to reject these polluter-led attacks on public health and instead focus on real solutions that grow the economy, not cost lives.

Drew Basil's fourth field goal of the game, this one from 25 yards, increases Ohio State's lead to 26-21 with 6:26 to play. The score was set up when defensive tackle Jonathan Hankins forced a fumble and cornerback Travis Howard recovered at the Michigan 9. The Buckeyes, however, managed just two yards in three plays and had to settle for a field goal.

Caught the CR news tonight (which I never watch) and there was a big new story about how people who live on a gravel road are upset from the dust because more motorists than usual are using the road in front of their house to avoid a detour.
1. It's a gravel road - you chose to live on it.
2. It's a public road.
3. It's temporary.
Like my buddy who works in TV news says, "There's a half hour of news - whether anything happens or not."
No matter what, I could NEVER cheer for Dirt and Urine.

I'm waiting to hear about the guy getting in trouble for receiving a gift. Iowa code limits gifts to state employees under $2. He won $5 on the lottery ticket. Its stupid but he shouldn't have brought up the lottery tickets.
Edit: maybe the limit is $3

Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

Hollywood converged on DC last night, Saturday, May 3 at The Washington Hilton for the White House Corresondents Dinner. Some of the stars that hit the red carpet included Patrick Stewart, Sofia Vergara, Matthew Morrison, Katharine McPhee and the cast of "Scandal." "Duck Dynasty" stars Willie and Korie Robertson were also among the 2,600 guests who filled the Hilton's ballroom.
"Community" star and comedian Joel McHale served as the night's headliner. The night was filled with gentle roasting and lots of humor directed at the news media and Washington DC's political elite. President Obama was a hit with his jokes. Here's a sampling of some of them as he poked good-natured fun at Republicans, the media and potential 2016 candidates.
The president said Republicans have given Speaker John Boehner as hard a time as they've given him. "That means orange really is the new black," he joked.
"MSNBC is here, they're a little overwhelmed. They've never seen an audience this big before," the president said.
"Let's face it Fox, you'll miss me when I'm gone. It'll be harder to convince the American people that Hillary was born in Kenya," President Obama said.

Could it be Himalayan knotweed, rather than Balsam? (Persicaria wallichii) I can't find many pictures of it on the web, but it grows very tall and into large stands, spreading from underground rhizomes and aerial roots which could be the 'rooty stem'. There is a DEFRA fact sheet, but it doesn't tell you what colour the stem is.
Marion, sorry for late response but that sounds like a really useful book - I am completely mystified about bulbs (hence planting them all at the wrong time) so I will look out for it. Thank you.
That looks terrific, and I see what you mean about the dry stone walling now - presumably you had to buy those lovely smooth rocks? I was/am a bit worried about using the ones I've got actually IN the pond cos I scrounged them or dug them up and they're all quite pointy. I like your Easter Island head too!
Trillium - getting plants for not much is just what I need to do. If I can lay my hands on some oxygenators, will they do their stuff over winter, or as not established will they just freeze to death? I'm happy to do the main planting design in the spring, but it would be good (financially and motivationally) to get some things in place.
That's a helpful site donutsmrs (I see you are in the Westie fan club too) - is there any way of knowing which fuchsia are hardy, or do you take cuttings in case and see if any of the others survive? I have a few in hanging baskets which I was going to plant out and hope for the best.
Apprentice Gardener, these hideous things spread like wildfire from the seeds that the birds drop. I have dug up an unfeasible quantity of them, and while, as nutcutlet says, they are marginally more attractive in the spring/summer (light green foliage, yellow flowers) you probably don't want 20 of them.
Any idea what they are? The first one looks like a fuchsia to me, but I'm no expert (and I can't find my glasses, either!)
Vis the holes in the sleepers, I find the little sedums work really easily if you aren't going to be walking all over them.
That's what I'm hoping for, on a smaller scale - I'm just getting nervous about getting it wrong
When I buy my country estate, Clueless .... it looks fabulous but I really rather hope my pond build costs a bit less than that. I have forwarded it to my boss though - she has always wanted a swimming lake and has the space.
Please get your camera out ... I'd love to see.

Gilbert & GeorgeEnglish, born 1942 (George) and born Italy 1943 (Gilbert)
View Objects By Gilbert & George >>
From the outset of their joint career, Gilbert and George explored and redefined picture making while bridging the gap between art and life. Dressed in suits and often displaying decorous manners, the duo presents an image at odds with the unconventional sincerity with which they expose desires and fears. Documenting the reality of daily existence through the lens of their unique sensibility, the artists present a poignant and all-embracing vision of life that is constantly aware of changes in the social and political climate. They address head-on the burning issues of our times--be they social marginality, religion, the AIDS crisis, or multiculturalism--while at the same time defining a distinctive visual language. The duo began their career in the late 1960s as performance artists, presenting themselves as "living sculptures." They also proclaimed other aspects of their artistic practice to be sculpture, including the postcards that they regularly distributed by mail. These postcards, photographs of the artists in various performative settings, portraying mostly bucolic landscapes and an abhorrence of drunkenness, were gradually replaced by commercially printed postcards, assembled in graphically bold compositions they called "postcard sculptures." Originally, these collages of readymade images were smaller in scale, with six to twelve carefully selected old postcards arranged in various configurations. In the mid-1970s and throughout the 1980s, these postcard sculptures became increasingly larger, including as many as three dozen individual postcards, which the artists were buying by the handful from souvenir shops. These arrangements were occasionally limited only to two different images, placed in strict geometrical order and forming the grid system that became quintessential to all of their photo-pieces. The glossy quality of the commercial postcards and the boldness of their colors also translated well into these larger photographic pieces. Indeed, photography opened up an entire world of images to Gilbert & George, who were searching for methods to bring all aspects of life into an aesthetic structure that would allow them to pursue their vision of "Art for All." Gilbert & George's art of the late 1970s is characterized by a dark mood and an introspective examination of daily anxieties. Their state of mind in the Dead Board series of 1976 is hopeless and gray. The Red Morning series of 1977 explores their sense of desperation while formally establishing their standard mural-sized grid format. The color red, used extensively by the artists in reference to the darkroom process of developing photographs, has symbolic associations with blood, love, hate, and anger, and appears prominently in the works of that period. The self-portraits of Gilbert & George clad in white shirtsleeves, without their trademark tweed suit jackets, although still formal, mark the subjects as particularly vulnerable, both physically and mentally. In the early 1980s, Gilbert & George dramatically expanded their palette to include yellow, green, violet, orange, pink, and gold. The series of photo-pieces that emerge during this vibrant period display a heightened reality, moving away from the earlier naturalism. Although images of youth, vagrants, and street characters were present in earlier pieces, in the 1980s the artists started employing models in their increasingly ambitious compositions in which numerous figures appear in complex tableaux. These colorful and effervescent series of works ended abruptly in 1984 with the onset of the AIDS crisis. The photo-pieces of the following years depict Gilbert & George alone again, paralyzed with anxiety and isolated from the rest of the world. In the late 1980s, the duo created their last two series of postcard works, Worlds and Windows, which assumed monumental dimensions. In Blue World (1989), more than one hundred identical postcards of Indian screen idol Govinda alternate with a banal seascape turned on its side and an architectural view of a temple-like structure, to create a dizzying visual tapestry. The intense repetition of the movie star's face gives the montage the aura of an altar, presenting him both as a pop culture icon and a quasi-religious persona. At the same time, the mosaic pattern created by the arrangement of the postcards places the individual images in service to the larger pulsating, cinematic composition. Early in their career, Gilbert & George created a series of drawings and paintings in which they placed themselves in the English countryside communing with nature. These pastoral settings are unique in the artists' work, as they later portrayed themselves exclusively in urban contexts. Natural elements do appear in these later compositions, however, and refer to beauty and the process of growing, maturing, and transforming. Flowers, fruits, trees, and blossoms are all representative of the cycle of life. In Red Morning Drowned (1977), the silhouettes of trees against threatening skies speak of anxiety and depression but also of hope and future redemption. The Rose of Destruction (1980) presents us with a monumental view of a flower admired for its vibrant color but neutralized by Gilbert & George in their black-and-white depiction. Here, the rose symbolizes the often-discordant consequences of passion, love, and friendship. The inflamed full moon of Night Attack (1982) suggests the anguish and fear related to modern urban life. And Seven Heroes (1982), with youths surrounded by floral patterns that become symbolic coats of arms, celebrates the innocence of the young men while emphasizing their vulnerability within the unwritten rules of society. In Berries (1986), Gilbert & George add religious connotations to natural elements. The picture's resemblance to a stained-glass window of a church is emphasized by the penitent position assumed by Gilbert next to a larger-than-life George. Red berries and green leaves form the background. In popular folklore, berries are a symbol of life and blood. In Gilbert & George's composition, they allude to the Christian rituals of confession and communion associated with renewal and revival. A symbol of maturity, the ripe fruit signals the coming of age of the artists, who at this point are approaching middle age. They depict themselves lightly poised on a cloud of berries, where they continue to engage, tenderly and passionately with the tribulations of the human condition. Notations: Gilbert and George, 2008

How to Grow Hydrangea from Cuttings
Four Methods:Selecting Hydrangea CuttingsGrowing Hydrangea Cuttings in PotsRooting Hydrangea Cuttings from the BushRooting Hydrangea Cuttings in WaterCommunity Q&A
Hydrangeas are flowering deciduous plants that can range in size from small bushes to larger tree-like varieties. If you want to grow your own hydrangea plants, you can produce new specimens by growing hydrangeas from cuttings. Multiple propagation methods exist depending on whether you own the mother plant and how many cuttings you want to root.
Method 1
Selecting Hydrangea Cuttings
1Brush away mulch and soil from the base of the back or side of a mature hydrangea plant.
2Look for a non-flowering shoot with 2 to 3 pairs of leaves. It is important to look for a cutting near the base of the plant, as woodier cuttings will generally produce more roots.
3Make sure the proposed cutting is at least 5 to 6 inches (12.7 to 15.2 cm) in length.
4Select your hydrangea cutting in the morning. Avoid taking cuttings at any time when the plant's leaves are wilted.
Method 2
Growing Hydrangea Cuttings in Pots
1Prepare pots for your hydrangea cutting or cuttings.
- Use a soil mix that is 1 part potting mix or peat moss to 1 part sand or vermiculite.
- Add soil to the pots you want to use and dampen thoroughly. Check to make sure there are no dry areas in the soil.
2Remove the hydrangea cutting you selected with sharp scissors or pruning shears.
- Cut at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) below a leaf node.
3Remove excess leaves. Cut off leaves below the top leaf pair, being careful to cut above the leaf nodes. Removing these leaves causes the plant to produce more roots.
4Trim top leaves. Although optional, if you trim the largest leaves to about half of their current size, it can help increase root production.
5Dip the bottom of the hydrangea cutting in rooting hormone. You can use either a liquid or powder form of rooting hormone. Hydrangea cuttings will propagate without rooting hormone, but roots will grow more quickly if you use it.
6Stick the cutting into the prepared pot. Push down gently until the cutting is 2 inches (5.1 cm) into the soil.
7Allow the hydrangea cuttings to root. It will usually take 2 to 3 weeks for cuttings to root, but it may happen more quickly depending on temperature and humidity.
- Place your potted cuttings outdoors if your outside temperature ranges from 60 to 80 degrees F (15.5 to 26.7 degrees C) and you have an area available protected from wind with partial shade.
- Keep potted cuttings indoors if you are experiencing hotter or colder temperatures. Make sure the rooting hydrangea cuttings receive partial or filtered sunlight.
- Keep soil moist, but do not over water. Soil shouldn't become soggy as over watering can lead to rot.
8Pull gently on 1 of your hydrangea cuttings after 2 to 3 weeks. If you feel resistance, the cutting has rooted. You can transplant now or allow the cutting to further develop its root system.
Method 3
Rooting Hydrangea Cuttings from the Bush
1Bend a low branch on a hydrangea bush so that it touches the soil.
2Keep the branch in place. Weigh it down with a brick, stone, or other heavy object.
3Continue to water the plant as normal. Keep the soil moist.
4Remove the brick or stone and check the branch for roots.
5Replace the brick or stone if roots aren't present, or if they haven't reached the soil. Check again in another week for roots.
6Cut branch from the mother plant.
7Dig up the rooted section from the ground. Be careful not to cut the roots of the cutting or the mother plant with your spade.
8Transplant to the location where you want the hydrangea to grow. Make sure the plant will have partial shade.
Method 4
Rooting Hydrangea Cuttings in Water
1Prepare your hydrangea cutting by removing excess leaves from the stem. Cut a stem at least 4-5 inches long that doesn't have any flowers or buds on it. Trim off the base leaves. Trim half of the top leaf off.
2Set cutting in a vase or glass filled with water. A clear, glass container is best, as it allows you to see the roots once they start to form.
3Wait for roots to appear.
4Change the water in the vase frequently to prevent molding.
5Plant the cutting once roots appear.
Community Q&A
- Most gardeners have more success rooting hydrangea cuttings in soil than in water.
- You can store hydrangea cuttings in the refrigerator overnight if you are not able to pot them right away.
- Hydrangea propagation is most successful in early summer as this gives your new plants time to mature before fall sets in.
- Keep cuttings far enough apart so that the leaves don't touch the leaves from other cuttings. This can cause rotting.
- If you take your cutting from a flowering shoot, you will not have blooms on your new hydrangea plant. Blooms appear on branches that flowered the year previously-the current non-flowering branches.
Things You'll Need
- Hydrangea cutting
- Potting mix or peat moss
- Sand or vermiculite
- Pot or pots
- Water
- Sharp scissors or pruning shears
- Rooting hormone
- Brick or large stone
- Garden spade
- Vase

Northeastern's auto and diesel program meets ASE and NATEF standards. Students are trained to be employed in entry level positions—and the demand for these new technicians is huge. You'll step into this program and immediately begin learning about engine maintenance and repair, brakes, hydraulics, electrical diagnostics, preventive maintenance, steering and suspension. What's best of all is that you'll get to do live work. The diesel tech shop is well equipped with tools and is constantly being updated to make sure students have what they need in order to learn.
Logan County, and Northeastern Colorado are hosts to one of the fastest growing fields of renewable energy - utility scale wind energy. NJC's Wind Tech Program offers a strong foundation in the electro-mechanical skills necessary to successfully enter this fast growing, exciting field.
Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.)
The Associate of Applied Science degree is rarely pursued by a student who intends to transfer to a 4-year school. It is primarily a degree that prepares a student to go directly into the workforce. It is typically a specific technical career that the student who seeks the AAS is seeking. Again, the general education requirements are less rigid with the AAS degree.
Certificate Programs
Certificates are 1-year technical programs that require no general education courses. Auto Tech, Agri-business, and Cosmetology are Certificate programs. English, math, science, etc. are not required to complete a certificate, although some students choose to take preparatory classes that might help them succeed in the program.

Fortune: Google is America's best place to work
Who would have thunk it: A company that installs slides into its office buildings is a fun place to work? Fortune this week has released its annual list of the best companies to work for and Google has once again taken the top slot. Fortune says that 2013 was particularly sweet for Google employees because they all own shares in the company's stock, which saw its price rise to well over $1,000 per share by the end of the year.Google also topped Fortune's list of best places to work last year due to its extensive employee perks that include free massages, shuffle ball courts and horseshoe pits among many, many others.

I can probably use anything from squirrel on up since these are going to be test skulls.Once I get some kinks worked out, I hope to offer up some services here on the forum. Thanks, everyone.

It was a casual walk in the park that became one of the steamiest almost love scenes in AMC's recent history. Touched by an encounter with the wife of a friend of his who died of cancer, When J.R. (Jacob Young) ran into Annie (Melissa Claire Egan) he did something that was very out of character. He apologized sincerely to Annie for his rudeness and ungratefulness towards her. "You saved my life with the bone marrow transplant," he stated. Perplexed at his sudden compassion towards her, Annie probed J.R. as to why he suddenly was willing to express his gratitude towards her.
The encounter was tender ---for a moment. The pair agreed that their passion was behind them; they were committed to their present partners, and that would be that. However, J.R. suddenly turned angry at Annie, and began spewing his usual insults and threats at her. The reason for his change of heart was transparent. He was struggling with suppressing his passion for the troublesome Annie. He professed his love for Marissa (Brittany Allen) and Annie threw his words back at him, reminding him of how exciting he found her compared to his remarkably dull spouse. J.R.'s vicious response to Annie's retort prompted Annie to slap J.R. in the face. He looked at her for a brief moment, grabbed her, and kissed her with a passion that we have not seen in a long time. (And, Jacob Young has never looked more handsome, now that his hair has grown back in). Annie and J.R. ended up rolling in the grass, unable to squelch the passion they feel. These two simply cannot keep away from each other, and the possibilities of this pairing are deliciously evil.
Upon returning home J.R. could barely be civil to Marissa, who picked a piece of grass off of J.R.'s shirt and questioned him about it. J.R. could barely be civil to his wife, who ended the episode by announcing that she has decided that it is time to return to her husband's bed, if there was to be any hope of salvaging their marriage. Truthfully, it is hard to even feel sorry for the whiny, sniveling Marissa, who is struggling to take lessons in revenge from her father, Dr.David Hayward. What she doesn't yet realize is that her marriage is already dead. There is no way she can fight the formidable and dynamic Annie Lavery Chandler.
