Transit Subsidy & Mass Rides Program
The NuRide ride share program offers rewards when you walk, bicycle, take public transit, carpool and more. The program allows you to earn points each time you take a "green trip" then, redeem those points for rewards like local and national restaurant coupons, retailer discounts, and tickets to shows and attractions. In addition, NuRide will help you find someone to carpool with.
Transit Subsidy Program
Smith College recognizes that faculty and staff commuting to campus as the sole occupants of vehicles has an impact to the environment and imposes stress to availability of campus parking.
More information
This policy:
- Has been developed to complement a series of transportation demand management policies including parking opt-out, free passage on five college buses during the academic year, parking pass fees, free ride home and availability of two ride-sharing services all designed to work in concert to reduce the number of commuter trips by individuals in vehicles.
- Creates a more equitable transit subsidy system where employees who live in areas not served by Five College bus routes (those routes that are subsidized through Five Colleges, Inc. – PVTA routes B38, B39, M40 and B43) are eligible for reduced fares on other routes.
- Supports compliance with Massachusetts Rideshare regulations (310 CMR 7.16) (a state-wide air quality regulation and is part of the Commonwealth's plan to reduce air pollution and to achieve and maintain health-based federal quality standards).
- Satisfies Smith's commitment to the "Provision of Public Transportation," one of the "tangible actions" included within the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment. This action is defined as follows: Encourage use of and provide access to public transportation for all faculty, staff, students and visitors to your institution.
The subsidy is valid only for employees who do not live in the area served by the Five College bus routes (those routes that are subsidized through Five Colleges Inc. – PVTA routes B38, B39, M40 and B43) which already offer free passage during the academic year.
Maximum IRS reimbursement limit is $255 per month. Reimbursement is not subject to income taxes per IRS Publication 15-B.
To receive reimbursement for a monthly or weekly transit pass, employees must fill out and submit a Transit Pass Reimbursement Form and provide proof of purchase (receipt) to Human Resources.
UMass Five College Credit Union
As a Smith College employee, you and your family may become members of the UMass Five College Federal Credit Union. The credit union offers many services and programs to assist members with college tuition costs:

A blog devoted to my vintage sewing machines and how I find them, fetch them and fix them.
Wednesday, October 5, 2011
Singer 306K
When Mary came to fix her 99k over Labor Day, she was so excited to see the 306 all cleaned up. I offered it to her, but she would not take it. So, its mine and now I must find a cabinet for it. I did save the hardware from the original cabinet. I am not sure why.......
Betsy and I each found a 306 at the Auction last weekend. Hers is in much better shape than mine, which I am sure is a parts machine. I think that it was re-timed to take a 15 X 1 needle because I found a 15 X 1 needle in it when I brought it home. The experts on Vintagesingers http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vintagesingers/ believe that it is wrong to re-time the 206 306 319 to accept the 15 X 1 needle. As originally designed, these machines take a 206 X 13 needle. They are available, but not in all sizes and the double needle is no longer made. My 306K pictured here has one double needle in the goodies box.
I honestly had thought about posting this on eBay. This was the eBay picture. I can't do it now, not after I saw how excited Mary was that I fixed it all up. Honestly, I only thought I should sell it because I have so many machines.

Dont sell it! I have this same puppy. I even have the cabinet and bench and extra parts and original in the package double needle that all came with it. I bought on C's List for $100. It can do auto uphoulstry, so I imagine a leather jacket, no problem. I say this is one of Singer's best designed models and I have seen the stitch-pattern cogs for 2-3 dollars ea. on ebay. -Todd HomerReplyDeleteReplies
HI ToddDelete
I did not sell it. It is now in the "museum." Collecting dust. I do dust them off once a week when I clean (do you REALLY believe THAT?). Seriously I do like this machine. It makes such lovely stitches AND IT CAN BE TREADLED!!!! My new favorite thing to do to old Singers. I have several of the "cams" Lucky Me.

Hi from Australia! I have one of these in a treadle electric in beautiful condition but it probably needs a new motor as smells of burning when started so haven't tried anything. I would love to know how to restore this properly. What website to purchase things from and how to do it? Can you help?ReplyDelete
Sorry. I only know places in the states which are listed on the page Resources....Delete
Margaret, You may want to rethink finding your 306 a new home. When the mother board fails on the Husqvarna, you will want a machine. I bet all the 306 needs is cleaning and oiling. Clean the metal on metal contacts with some denatured alcohol and apply new sewing machine oil.Delete
- AnonymousAugust 19, 2014 at 8:46 AM
Thank you Elizabeth. I had cleaned and oiled it but I will try your method and buy some new oil. However I can't keep it as I have to downsize before moving to an apartment. If I get it working perhaps it will become saleable at least. I would dearly love to have another sew with it.Delete

I make mascots and often some of the more modern lighter machines have a lot of trouble with multiple layers of fabric. So when I saw my 306K for $40 in a second hand store I jumped!!!ReplyDelete
Unfortunately it did not have a foot control and I was not able to find one.. so with a little (ahem) modification I was able to transplant one of my other machine foot controls onto to it. I have a lot of electronics experience.
It's a fantastic machine. Strong, reliable, and able to handle ANYTHING I push through it.
As it came with a box but no top I am currently searching for a cabinet for this.
This machine is older (not by much) than me and will certainly last the years. Nice to know I can convert it to a pedal too.

Je viens d'acheter pour 25$ une Singer 306k comme neuve avec son cabinet et petite chaise en plus il y a tout plein de pieds et 30 disques pour la broderie c'est un bijou j'en prendrai soin croyez-moi je l'ai huilée et cette machine fonctionne comme une neuve elle a été manufacturée en Grande Bretagne Par curiosité j'ai cherché sur EBay et une semblable se vendait 450$ et pas dans l'état de neuf comme la mienne Je suis vraiment contenteReplyDeleteReplies
Courtesy of Google translate, for those of us who aren't sure of our French:Delete
I just bought for $ 25 a Singer 306K like new with his cabinet and small chair in addition there are lots of feet and 30 discs for embroidery it's a gem I will care trust me I 'I oiled this machine works like new it was manufactured in Britain curiosity I searched on eBay and was sold a similar $ 450 and not in new condition like mine I'm really happy
I have a 306K which was given to me and I have had it for almost 20 years now. I really love it. I just did a little research and found out that its way older than me! I never knew I could check when it was manufactured through the serial number. I'll make sure that I take good care of it though I'm not too sure how. I had sent it once to be repaired and the technician told me to keep it clean always because it was the first time he had ever seen one here. He didn't think parts were easily available for such an old machine.ReplyDelete
I just brought a lovely old 306k for $10 with all the feet and fashion disks from a garage sale... without the foot peddle... so i might treadle it.... so yippee.... need i say more...ReplyDelete

Good monitor, but could have been betterI had originally ordered the insanely popular ST2220L. Then I saw this one. This, as it seemed from the dell site, was a 2013 monitor with a IPS display. There weren't many reviews about it (and from what I remember it had only one on this site), but the word IPS stuck with me. Further, the ST2220L was already pretty old. So I thought, what the heck, and took the plunge. I cancelled the previous order and got this one instead.

AwesomeSo , I wanted a TV to watch upcoming IPL, national election coverage and of course FIFA world cup...but my budget was not that high to buy a LCD tv. Also I wanted to view my laptop display in a bigger screen. Hence, after a lot of survey over different products, I choose this one. And let me tell you, I am overwhelmed.

Buy it!I've been a user of the 27 inch iMac for over two years now - so my expectations from a LED display are already quite high. The S2240L definitely achieves high standards in display quality - I was truly impressed the first time I turned it on. The colours are brilliant, the sharpness is spot-on, and I love the thin bezel / face-plate (nicely designed). The stand and the back-face of this display is also quite classy in it's design.
Feb 7, 2014
Good but not excellent IPS panelI am closely concentrating on desktop and laptop screen quality since 2007. Those times LCD was dominating . But display quality was very good compared to LED .Even now I prefer to work in lcd display. Text quality will be very pleasing. Nowadays mostly all laptop screens has TN panels (bluish tint) ,poor viewing angles,poor text quality(1366*768),poor color reproduction. Most of the colors will be washed out.

Edward Snowden Ready to Move Just About Anywhere
He's applied for asylum in fifteen countries.
Airport-hotel expert Edward Snowden, apparently getting sick of the transit lounge at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International, has applied for asylum with fifteen different countries, the L.A. Times reports, and is starting to look thirsty to potential international suitors. "It was a desperate measure on his part after Ecuador disavowed his political protection credentials," said a Russian official, which does not bode well for his chances there.
According to the New York Times, Russia is one of the countries on Snowden's list, although they've been playing him hot and cold. "If he wants to go away somewhere and someone will accept him there, by all means," said President Vladimir Putin today. "If he wants to stay here, there is one condition: He must stop his work aimed at harming our American partners, as strange as that sounds coming from my lips."
But other Russian politicians are not opposed to the NSA leaker's presence, with one telling the Times, "I believe that we should not give him away in any case. It seems to me that Snowden is the greatest pacifist. This person has done no less to win the Nobel Peace Prize than Barack Obama." If nothing else, the country is getting a kick out of being a tease to everyone involved.

Is it normal that I haven't gotten my period yet? I had a tubal ligation during my c-section to deliver my daughter. She is now 3 months old and I haven't gotten my period. The only time we have had sex was when she was about a month old. I would think if I had a tubal pregnancy that had been there for 2 months I should have some pain or something, and the last time we had sex before that I was still pregnant (delivered at 34 wks).
No period after a tubal

I dont have any experience with tubal ligations but after giving birth to my last two children I didnt strart my cycle for a few month after they were born.
good luck
Posted 12/05/2012
ive heard that your period starting is often due to ovulation, with a tubal ligation you ovulate, but not really, so it is possible to not have a period
Posted 12/05/2012
Interesting..im getting mine done in 2weeks with a csection but I thought u still got a period...hmmm something ima bring up at my 37week checkup tomorrow!
Posted 12/05/2012
Are you breast feeding? Sometimes you won't have one if you are breast feeding and after my tubal my menses was a little off for a while ;)

"California Girls" David Lee Roth Sure the Beach Boys popularized the song in 1965, and will forever be linked to it, but David Lee Roth's updated version stripped its politeness by recasting it for a modern audience. His video for the song is filled with swimsuit models of all shapes and sizes, which he admires while playing a tour guide. Considering Roth's pedigree as a huge '80s rock star who undoubtedly had -- and still has -- a huge female following across the world, hearing him sing the praises of different American girls before summing it up with, "I wish they all could be California girls," makes his argument sound pretty convincing.

There's nothing better than a family movie night, especially when it's a movie the entire family can enjoy. We watched Miracles from Heaven, starring Jennifer Garner. The movie is based on a true story of the Beam Family, whose young daughter who has a rare disease. After a near death experience where she sees Heaven, she begins a miraculous recovery. It's a touching story made even more poignant because I also have a daughter with a rare disease. Prompted by the story, I decided to share with my daughter (and with you all!) my mom's favorite cake. She had a daughter three months ago, and I hope she will pass this recipe down to her child. This is the best Apricot Nectar Cake recipe ever.
This recipe has been in our family for as long as I can remember. I'm not sure where my mother first found the recipe, but I still have her copy, written in her neat handwriting. Whenever I make it, I think of all the love and pride my mom put into each cake she made to share with friends and family.
Apricot Nectar Cake Recipe:
This recipe starts with a basic lemon cake mix with a few extra ingredients added. Mix the cake mix with oil, sugar, apricot nectar and beat until blended.
Mix in the eggs, one at a time, and blend after each addition. Add the batter into a greased bundt pan, and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool 10 minutes before turning out onto a cake dish. You can add a delicious icing, made with lemon juice and confectioner's sugar or serve it plain. Either way, it's delicious!
Printable Recipe
- 1 (18.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup apricot nectar
- 4 eggs
- Optional Icing Recipe:
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (I use one large lemon and squeeze out the juice)
- Grease and flour a 10 inch bundt pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Combine lemon cake mix with sugar, cooking oil, and apricot nectar. Beat with mixer until mixture is completely blended. Add eggs one at a time, making sure each is completely blended into the batter before adding the next egg. Pour batter into pan.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan before removing cake.
- In a small bowl, mix lemon juice with confectioners' sugar until you reach desired consistency. I like for my icing to be thicker so I use more sugar. If you prefer a thinner icing, use less confectioner's sugar and more lemon juice. Drizzle glaze over sides of warm cake.
Why not share your cake with someone and invite them over to watch Miracles from Heaven? It's such a sweet story, full of Love, Faith and Spirit. You will be moved! Be sure to keep the tissues on hand! Plus, with each purchase of the Miracles from Heaven DVD, $1 of your purchase will be donated to the Children's Miracle Network. How great is that?
Do you have a favorite family recipe that has been passed down to you?

This Roadmap really needs fixed up because the original poster clearly was in too much of a hurry to post it and couldn't be bothered to update it even when other people corrected him and he responded. Some things that need to be added are:
Half-way and Super Dry both require 5 and 10 DIFFERENT shows respectively.
Contortionist requires all single AND co-op holes. You also have to successfully complete the show for any of the holes you pass to save and count towards this.
Contortionist is also not "HELLISHLY" difficult unless you're grossly overweight. In fact, it's not really all that difficult, other than just completing the final round in order for any progress you have made to save. I'm not flexible in the slightest and finished this game. My wife was 6 months pregnant with triplets and we still completed all of the co-op holes for this achievement.
The Shining Collection achievement is glitched or else I and a few other people would have it. There is no one that I have seen that has this achievement legitimately, so it is currently unobtainable.
I'd update that for them if you want this to be your official guide or else it's sort of an embarrassment for such a great site.

The death of Steve Jobs is triggering not a little reflection over the impact that one man could have over the form and function of the technology we use every day. The Apple II and Apple Macintosh were systems on which many of today's technology professionals first cut their teeth. In more recent years, the iPod, iPhone, and iPad came to reshape or outright define our notions of what constituted an MP3 player, smartphone, or tablet.
At least for the past 10 years, however, what's also been notable with Apple products is the degree to which their users don't have to worry about security. Not that Apple's operating systems are 100% secure; they're not. But with the large quantity of malware targeting Windows operating systems increasing this year by 21%, and the quantity of malware targeting Google's Android smartphone and tablet operating system increasing by 400%, Apple's products are notable for the exploits they're not experiencing.
Why don't Apple products experience the same levels of malware as Windows or Android, and how much of that can be traced to Jobs' legacy? The leading explanation has long been that attacking Apple desktops and laptops offers insufficient benefits to merit the time and cost required to develop the necessary malware. According to Net Applications, Windows controls 86% of the PC operating system market, while Apple accounts for only 6%, and Linux, 1%. Why attack Apple, when there are still so many people still using Windows XP?
Furthermore, the Windows security situation has created a vicious security circle. For example, one of the leading scams--free AV--doesn't even exploit Windows. Instead, it makes people think that their Windows systems have been compromised, getting them to pony up $49.95 for bogus antivirus software, or more for the equally bogus "premium edition." In other words, criminals are launching social engineering attacks predicated on the legacy of poor Windows security.
On the Apple front, Jobs notably chose to base the Apple OS X operating system, introduced for desktops in 2001, on Unix, which arguably made it more secure than its Windows rival. But Apple OS X isn't invulnerable--far from it. In fact, at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas this summer, security researchers demonstrated that Mac OS X was vulnerable to the advanced attacks plaguing such businesses as RSA. Still, few people--if any--appear to be launching such attacks against Apple users.
Another Jobs decision that's had strong security upsides has been Apple's walled-garden approach to distributing applications for its iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) devices. Namely, only applications from the Apple App Store can be installed on said devices (at least without jailbreaking them). But before developers can place their applications in the App Store, first they get vetted, and then each version of their application gets vetted, to ensure that it meets security standards, including doing what it says it does. The result has been a smartphone ecosystem in which users are at very low risk of being exploited via malicious applications.
Meanwhile, for users of Apple's biggest competitor, Android, instead of seeing a walled garden, it's arguably more of a jungle, as they can install any application from any source. Google also doesn't screen applications before offering them for sale. As a result, Trojan applications sometimes even end up in the official Android Market, requiring Google to expunge them, and occasionally even use its "kill switch" to remove especially malicious ones from devices.
Google makes the operating system, but doesn't control the Android smartphone ecosystem. Apple, of course, has taken the opposite approach, and it's notable that third parties are stepping forward to provide Android users with a more Apple-like application vetting and distribution system, such as the Amazon Appstore for Android. Of course, Apple and Google's respective approaches have their own pros, cons, and tradeoffs--not least of which is cost. But Apple iOS, for people willing to buy into its walled-garden approach, sees few exploits. Attackers seem to favor the anything-goes approach of Android, not least because it makes distributing malicious applications much easier.
How much of that iOS versus Android--or OS X versus Windows--security equation has had to do with Apple's design, ecosystem, market share, or luck? Regardless of the answer, as people celebrate what was Jobs' rare genius at bringing highly usable and desirable products to market, don't forget the security aspect of that equation, and the positive contribution to form and function offered by not having to deal with the latest malware outbreak or targeted exploit.
Security professionals often view compliance as a burden, but it doesn't have to be that way. In this report, we show the security team how to partner with the compliance pros. Download the report here. (Free registration required.)
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

8. Be Creative With Your Photos
POLLY WREFORD/ CAROLYN BARBER and NICKY JOHNSTON
"You should take your own photography as a starting point but then find ways of manipulating it so that it sits very well in an interior. I think a lot of these high street places do things like putting holiday snaps onto cushions, canvasses or art pieces, and I think that's a very good route to go down. Think about playing around with them on a computer first, too -- maybe changing the colour balance, doing it in different shades so that it coordinates with your interior, and then find a way of applying it interestingly."

Recurring Role
The Joker waves goodbye to Charles Manson as he escapes from Arkham Asylum.
In this episode, the Joker sings a song about Batman on the tune of Jingle Bells.
"Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin lays and egg, the batmobile has lost a wheel, Joker got away"
This is exact song also sung by Bart Simpson in an episode of The Simpsons.
Among the "audience" is Batman, Robin, Alfred, and others. But how could Joker know about Alfred?
Okay, there are a lot of weird inconsistencies all throughout the episode (like the observatory telescope becoming a cannon??), but one of the more obstinate goofs occurs inside the Laffco toy factory. When Donner and Blitzen open fire on Batman's cloak, we see that it's riddled with bullet holes. However, when he puts it back on, there are no holes.
When the Joker is shooting his television program a shot of the audience is shown. The audience is of cardboard people. Among the people shown are show regulars Commissioner Gordon, Officer Renee Montoya, Batman, Mayor Hill, Robin, Alfred, Harvey Dent and Harvey Bullock.
This episode introduces the Joker, Robin and Summer Gleeson. It also gives us our first look at Arkham Asylum.
Laughy: Bah humbug, I hate Batman and Robin!
Joker: Then let's get rid of them. (Joker presses a button and blows up the cardboard audience)
Joker: Live, from the city, the show that nobody wants to see but everybody will watch!
Joker's christmas song:
Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg, the batmobile lost a wheel and the Joker-Got-away!
Robin:You're gonna love It's a Wonderful Life. It's a great movie.
Batman: It's not relentlessly cheerful, is it?
Robin: Ok, I'll make a deal with you. If we go out on patrol, and Gotham is quiet with no sign of the Joker, we come back here, have Christmas dinner, and watch It's a Wonderful Life.
Batman: You know, I've never seen that. I could never get past the title.
Episode Villain(s):
The Joker
This episode is episode 2 on the Batman: The Animated Series Volume 1 DVD.
This episode, along with "The Laughing Fish" was released on VHS as The Adventures Of Batman & Robin: The Joker. Later it was paired up with the VHS The Adventures Of Batman & Robin: Fire & Ice (consisting of "Deep Freeze" and "Fire From Olympus") on DVD.
It was also released along with "On Leather Wings", "Nothing To Fear", "The Last Laugh" and "Pretty Poison" on the DVD Batman The Animated Series: The Legend Begins
This was the second episode produced, but the 38th to air. All the DVD releases of this episode have it as being the 2nd episode of the series.
Batman (1989):
In the final confrontation between Batman and The Joker, the conflict ends with Joker falling into a cauldron of liquid that would surely kill him, only to be saved by Batman, who holds him by a limb, thus stopping his fall.
This scene is virtually identical to a scene in the 1989 Batman film in which Batman grabs Jack Napier's hand as he falls into a vat of acid, only to lose his grip, watch Napier fall into the acid and become the Joker.
The Nutcracker:
As Batman and Robin face off against toys that attack them (including giant wooden soldiers akin to the ones in The Nutcracker), several sections of the Nutcracker Suite are played in a modified chord to reflect the tension of the fight.
The Nutcracker is a famous story that features toy soldiers and is a Christmas staple in many forms of media.
Betty Boop
The doll Joker plays with has a similarity to the classic cartoon girl, Betty Boop.
When Joker escaped from Batman's grip he ran and said "Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the Joker man!"
This is a reference to The Gingerbread Man fairy tale, in which the gingerbread man said "Run run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm The Gingerbread Man!"
Numerous references to It's a Wonderful Life, the ever present Christmas movie. At the end of the episode, it even shows the two church bells and "The End," which also appear at the end of this movie. At one point during the episode, Robin mentions that "[the movie] is about how much difference one person can make" and asks Batman if that sounds familiar.
Robin: He could give lessons to Scrooge.
Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol is a fictional story about an old and bitter man, who undergoes a profound experience of redemption when he is haunted by ghosts on Christmas Eve.

Came with clear instructions and all necessary hardware to mount about any brand of TV. The bracket that attaches to the wall is big enough to bolt into 2 studs in the wall and the universal bolt patterns allow you to adjust the mounting bracket side to side to center the mount were you want it on the wall. My favorite feature is how easy the TV mounts and dis-mounts from the wall bracket. If you want to take down TV for any reason all you have to do is pull on 2 little straps hidden up behind the TV and the wall. A quick release unlocks the brackets from each other and the TV comes right down and when your ready to put it back up just set it back up on the bracket and it locks right back in place.
Well built, heavy duty, easy to install. Only reason I didn't give it a higher rating is that the unit is not as advertised. This unit DOES NOT TILT, it's low profile only! If you want tilt, you need to buy the F58. This worked out okay in this particular installation (smaller room, slightly above eye level when seated). I ordered this on-line and picked up in store, was disappointed when I got it home and started install only to find out that it wasn't capable of tilting. I even checked the display model in store and it had the tilt feature. Other than the misleading description on the web, it's a heavy duty, easy to install bracket.
My wife and I bought this wall mount yesterday from our local Wal-Mart and when I got it home I was amazed at the weight and construction of this thing! The back plate alone weighed more than my kid and after getting bolted to my wall proved to be as immovable as a mountain. The time it took to put this together was minimal and the directions were easy to follow. I can see how this wall mount could be sold for easily triple what I paid. I would have paid more for this wall mount that I did and would happily recommend this to anyone looking for a well built and easy to install wall mount. This thing is awesome and easily holds my new 46 in LCD. If you're in the market for a wall mount, buy this one.
This wall mount is excellent. It doesn't tilt like the description says but thanks to one of the earlier
reviews I already knew this before buying.. I also noticed there was a 10.00 difference btwn the online price and store price (store was higher).. this being said the instructions are clear and easy to follow and there is a video on the website you can watch.
There are 3 major pieces to this,, 2 brackets attach to your tv via provided screws (..the kit provides like 5 or 6 different sizes) and 1 wall mounted bracket..the kit also comes with 4 large wood screws that are used to attach the wall bracket to the studs in your wall.
The hardest part is knowing where your studs are in your wall and even that is simple enough.
You might also consider once you've attached the brackets to your tv to measure from the top of the tv down to the hooks.. knowing this will help with wall alignment.
happy trails
This is a true bargain all around. It comes with easy instructions, labeled parts, and even has a few optional sizes of screws (depending on the size of your TV). It took me less than 20 minutes to install and it is perfect for my TV and area. Much more affordable that what I have seen elsewhere and did I mention how easy it is to install? Yeah, that easy.

When Joakim Noah donned a Knicks hat in an Instagram post this weekend, it literally capped nine seasons of hair-vana for Chicago sports fans. Did you not do a double take when he flashed that wide grin with wild mane stuffed under a Bulls cap on draft night in 2007?
Like the biblical Samson, Noah's energy and power on the court seemed to emanate from that tangle of tresses. But Bulls fans developed an appreciation for his hair, whether it was flowing freely or put up in a ponytail or man-bun.
Admit it. That top knot was top notch.
He leaves a void not easily filled. Which athlete is fit call himself Noah's hair...

Angolan police on Saturday stopped a protest by a youth movement demanding answers over the disappearance of two of its members last year, the organisers said.
About 100 people had gathered for the protest before being dispersed by police.
The findings of an investigation into the two young activists, who went missing during a veterans protest last May, was meant to be made public last week.
"We will continue to push until they reappear or the truth is told," Adolfo Campos, one of the organisers of the aborted event told AFP.
Some demonstrators were arrested and equipment seized from journalists on the scene, said Joao Manuel, a young protester arrested and released by the police.
The president of a Angolan human rights organisation, Jose Patricinio, denounced the police action.
"It is sad to see the police use such violence against young people who are demonstrating peacefully," he said, adding that it was a constitutionally guaranteed right.

A majority of superintendents, principals and teachers support Common Core State Standards but remain concerned about implementation, writes Learning First Alliance Deputy Director Anne O'Brien. In this blog post, she analyzes the latest polls, indicating strong support for the common core, but acknowledges worries about assessments and bumpy rollouts. "But we must remember that these implementation concerns are not the same as concerns about the standards themselves. And as we talk about them, we need to make clear that distinction," O'Brien writes.

A Gift of Hope (Hardback)Danielle Steel
Hardback Published: 03/01/2013
- Not available
Click & Collect From your local shop
THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER. In her powerful memoir His Bright Light, Danielle Steel opened her heart to share the devastating story of the loss of her beloved son. In A Gift of Hope, she shows us how she transformed that pain into a campaign of service that enriched her life beyond what she could imagine. For eleven years, Danielle Steel took to the streets with a small team to help the homeless of San Francisco. She worked under cover of darkness distributing food, clothing, bedding, tools, and toiletries to the city's most vulnerable citizens. She sought no publicity for her efforts and remained anonymous throughout. Now she has chosen to tell her story to bring attention to their plight. In this unflinchingly honest and deeply moving memoir, the famously private author speaks out publicly for the first time about her work among the most desperate members of society. She offers achingly acute portraits of the people she met along the way--and issues a heartfelt call for more effective action to aid this vast, deprived population. Determined to supply the homeless with the basic necessities to keep them alive, she ends up giving them something far more powerful: a voice. By turns candid and inspirational, Danielle Steel's A Gift of Hope is a true act of advocacy and love.

It's the largest metal print that I now produce. The lower feet are flared and have inlaid rare-earth magnets so it can stand stably.

On Our Shelves Now
In this action-packed cartooning adventure, kids will have as much fun making comics as reading them

And with the help of a magical cartooning elf, she learned how well enough to draw her way out of an encounter with a dangerous dragon, near-death by drowning, and into her very own adventure Like the princess, young readers will discover that they already have the drawing and writing skills it takes to make a comic they just need a little know-how. And "Adventures in Cartooning" supplies just that.

Starred Review in 3/1 Booklist
Not quite a how-to book, as the cover might suggest, this is rather a stupendous new high for children's graphic novels, spearheaded by comics maestro Sturm (Satchel Paige: Striking Out Jim Crow, 2007). Ostensibly, this is the adventure of an eager knight, a sweet-toothed horse, and a magic elf hunting down a gum-chewing dragon, and those reading for the adventure itself will not be disappointed, filled as it is with humor, action, and a great girl-empowering twist. But along the way, lessons in the language of sequential art are woven seamlessly into the narrative, explaining the basics of how elements such as panels and word balloons work, while concluding bonus features offer specifics on terminology (like gutters and stems) and common symbols (like speed lines). Newcomers Andrew Arnold and Alexis Frederick-Frost, using varying page compositions to keep the sizable volume visually captivating, have constructed a tale that works just as well as a read-aloud for the very young as it does a lesson for everyone from fans of the form to the wholly uninitiated. As an examination of the medium, it's a supremely worthy spiritual legacy to Scott McCloud's seminal Understanding Comics (1993). As a straight-up graphic adventure, it may be the best of the year.
— Jesse Karp
Review in 3/1 Kirkus Reviews
An insightful and enjoyable way for kids to learn about cartooning, presented in a vibrant graphic format. In fairy-tale fashion, the Magic Cartooning Elf helps a young princess with writer's block produce her first comic. A story-within-a-story emerges, and the princess creates a deceptively silly tale of a knight, a dragon, a whale and a horse that loves candy. Along the way, the Elf drops informative hints to the reader about the structure of the story, introducing basic elements of cartooning and rudimentary techniques. Though seemingly simplistic, this multilayered composition is an excellent teaching tool to whet the appetites of aspiring young doodlers and even offers a pleasant twist in an otherwise apparently straightforward plot. Against the abundance of vanilla graphic nonfiction for kids on the market, this is unexpectedly lively. Simple cartooning basics offered after the story are quite appealing; even the most reluctant artist may be inspired to pick up a pencil and give it a shot. Entertaining and surprisingly edifying. (Graphic nonfiction. 9-12)
Starred Review in 4/1 School Library Journal
Gr 2-6–The young princess, thought to be ensconced in a tower, is missing. A "BRAVE and EAGER knight" and his less-than-fearless horse Edward learn that she has been abducted by a dragon and remains captive on Dragon Island. Assisted by the Magic Cartooning Elf, the knight goes in search of her. In this story within a story, the princess learns how to create her own cartoon. Basic principles of creating comics are taught by context, inference, and direct instruction. The humor, action, adventure, and charming characters hold readers' attention and draw them into a fantasy world of a candy-consuming dragon and knights who have been turned into vegetables. Readers learn about the uses of panels, the importance of words, and placement of thought balloons. Each tutorial panel contains clever and inventive touches that illustrate the capabilities of the format. The progression of the pink gum bubble on the first four pages is a classic. At the conclusion of this delightful tale, cartooning basics such as panels, gutters, tiers, word balloons, depiction of emotion, and movement are explained in an organized and straightforward fashion. This is a volume for kids who love comics, who enjoy an adventure filled with action and humor, are natural-born artists, or who aspire to become comic-book creators. A surefire hit.–Barbara M. Moon, Suffolk Cooperative Library System, Bellport, NY
Review in 4/2 Shelf Awareness
For anyone who loves comics, would like to make comics or wants to know what makes them work, these two titles, beautifully designed in paperback editions with French flaps, supply a great deal of insight. Adventures in Cartooning, disarming in its simplicity, at first appears to be aimed at the beginner. And certainly it has much to offer novices in terms of both textual and visual vocabulary and even baseline drawing instruction. But the book also suggests the many uses for comics, from entertainment to education. A princess who believes she "just can't draw well enough to make a comic!!!" inadvertently summons a Magic Cartooning Elf, who resembles a flying leprechaun and helps her build confidence through simple instruction. The elf explains the importance of panels (their size and pacing), speech balloons (as well as their content's type size and boldface) and the climactic plot twist; step-by-step drawing instructions appear at the end. Even seasoned comics readers may more fully appreciate the work of their favorite creators after reading this book.

George W. Bush is the most stupid, disturbed, sinister, monkey-faced, shit-for-brains, daddys boy, nancy, call-up-dodgin, bawbag prick of an oil whore i have ever ha the misfortune to set my eyes upon. Everytime i see him claim he feels sorry for the families of the true americans he has sent to their deaths i want to smash my head into a wall out of sheer frustration. An im only Scottish. Thats why I propose that he is empeached, stripped of office and replaced by the remains of Jimi Hendrix, a true hero, who would probably do a better job.

A host of Spain's biggest sports stars have lent their weight to Madrid's bid to stage the 2020 Olympics with the final decision in Buenos Aires on Saturday.
Tokyo and Istanbul stand in the way of a first ever Olympiad in the Spanish capital and with fears over the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant and the fall-out from the ongoing Syrian civil war overshadowing their bids respectively, Madrid has gained significant ground in recent months.
A star-studded group of athletes and administrators including Pau Gasol of the Los Angeles Lakers and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez will form part of Madrid's lobbying team in the all-important final few days before the International Olympic Committee members case their vote on Saturday.
And even those who can't be in attendance have joined in to lend their weight to Madrid's third consecutive bid for the Games.
"As sportsmen and Spaniards we support the bid," said Vicente del Bosque, manager of the world champion Spanish football team.
"It would be an enormous boost, not just to the capital but to the whole country."
Barcelona midfielder Xavi Hernandez also joined teammate Lionel Messi, who backed the Madrid bid on his arrival back in his homeland for Argentina's World Cup qualifiers earlier this week, by saying "it would be great news for all of us."
The Madrid bid team will though be without one of their most vocal supporters in Buenos Aires as 12-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal will instead be playing in the US Open semi-finals on Saturday night.
Nadal continued his sensational form by destroying compatriot Tommy Robredo for the loss of just four games on Wednesday night and was quick to reaffirm his support for the bid.
"Luckily I am here (in New York), but I would have loved to be there supporting such a wonderful cause.
"It would be a very positive boost for our country.
"Madrid has been fighting many years for this and if there is a city that after all the effort it has made and continues to make to win the chance to host an Olympics, it is ours."

I need to update a file on a server every fifteen or so minutes. This involves a file copy from an authoring site on to the server.
Occasionally (And with a lot of bad luck) the .Net application that serves the file reads it at a period in time when the file is being overwritten and therefore reads in an empty file. The problem is compounded because for performance reasons the file is cached for up to 15 minutes.
Is there anyway in Windows to minimise the possibility of the file being blank? i.e. is there a way to copy the contents into the file but not "commit" them to the file system until its fully written?
The file is copied using SSH/FTP as its on a non-domain box within the DMZ and hosted on Windows 2008 R1 machines.

I have been having this 'hanging featured image' issue for several months, it is extremely aggravating!
We have multiple websites, it affects some, but not others, all using the same theme (NewsPro by Gabfire)
It is NOT a ModSecurity issue for us (had security completely disabled), and not a plug-in conflict (turned each off and on), as others have indicated in other posts on this same topic (see http://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-twenty-ten-since-update-set-featured-image-hangs?replies=7, and
Obviously people with various themes are encountering the same problem, so I have to believe there is a WordPress answer.
Has anyone else SOLVED this?? Can ANYONE help???

Need new land to till
Published: Sunday, November 8, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 6, 2009 at 3:45 p.m.
To The Editor: Good morning, Hendersonville.
I write this letter with a heavy heart. The land that I have been farming (or market gardening as per extension) will be sold. I want to thank the P.H. Grose family for their generous use of this fertile land for nearly 10 years. I have poured my heart and soul into this business, not to mention the physical brutality of the hard work.
I want to thank the mountain area community for supporting my plant and produce business. I cannot promise that I will continue on in this venture but I am not a quitter. Many years ago, I attended the Sustainable Ag conference and realized through conversations that many of us were Eagle Scouts. We all had passion for environment and community.
Presently, I am searching for land to continue the mayhem and will expand my plant business. Customers say that my plants did better than from the big boys.
The one thing that keeps me going is when a customer says "Thank you for growing organically and the hard work it takes to grow."

I really dig this, it makes me want to sculpt drapery
This is one of your best. It has to do with the purity of the lines and the toning down of the colors. And of course the model's pose and expression.
In love with the colors you use...
Skvely portret veduci
This is a very nice picture, but I wouldn't have the model in the middle of the photo. Look up the rule of thirds for photography. It really helped me out.
thanks, I really like breaking the rules in this shot ))
nice numb mood you have captured here.
