Packard Bell's x5620uk uses an older and, importantly, cheaper CPU to deliver relatively good value for money and a very respectable result in our speed tests.
Packard Bell's x5620uk is very different to the rest of the PCs in our chart in a number of ways. Its older Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 processor isn't often seen on these pages now, but it delivers relatively good value for money and enables the Packard Bell to beat all but the fastest of the AMD-powered competition in WorldBench 6, with a very respectable score of 107 points.
Graphics performance is less impressive, however. You might expect to find a decent amount of graphics power given the green nVidia sticker on the front of the case. But Packard Bell doesn't supply a true discrete graphics card; the x5620uk instead relies on the graphics-processing unit built into the motherboard.
This integrated setup delivers enough power to give you all the fancy graphics effects you want in Windows, but not enough to play 3D games. In our easier Crysis test the Packard Bell x5620uk managed only 1fps; unsurprisingly, it failed the more gruelling one. It even struggled with the relatively elderly Fear, managing just 3fps.
A single PCI Express x16 slot is available on the motherboard, however, so you can easily add a graphics card if you decide that gaming is important. But be warned: Packard Bell includes a lowly 250W power supply with the x5620uk, which would probably require upgrading first.
The Packard Bell x5620uk's own-brand monitor is an 18.5in widescreen model with a screen resolution of 1366x768. Excel fans won't be happy with its coarse 0.3mm pixel pitch, although the large dot-pitch can make text a little more readable than on higher-resolution monitors.
Despite these drawbacks, the Packard Bell x5620uk has a lot going for it. The custom-design case looks much better than the off-the-shelf models used by other vendors and incorporates a memory card reader and four front-facing USB ports. The machine also has a simple setup routine and a generous software bundle that includes a full version of Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Packard Bell's x5620uk uses an older and, importantly, cheaper CPU to deliver relatively good value for money and a very respectable result in our speed tests.
Budget desktop PCs buying advice
Processor: AMD's Phenom II X2 550 is a great choice of CPU for a budget PC. You can also now find quad-core CPUs in this price range from both AMD and Intel. The AMD Athlon X4 620 and Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 are good examples.
The Core 2 Duo E8500 is still a good choice if you have no interest in gaming and want to spend your money on fast general-purpose performance. Low-cost alternatives, such as Intel's E7000- and E4000-series chips, offer weaker performance at any clock speed.
Memory: In the era of Vista and Windows 7, 2GB of RAM is essential. The majority of sub-£500 PCs are now fitted with 4GB.
Make sure you're getting the full benefit of the memory - some onboard graphics controllers use system memory, which will slow things down. Check your motherboard has free memory slots if you plan to upgrade later.
Storage: Expect up to 500GB at this price; you can never have too much storage space. Digital media content will quickly fill a reasonably sized drive. Hard-drive space is easy to add later, however.
If you're planning to upgrade hard drives internally, ensure that you've got spare drive bays inside your PC's case.
Look for a DVD drive that can write to the -/+R formats at 16-speed or better. If you want to get 8.5GB on to one disc, get a drive that can write to dual-layer discs (-/+R DL) at 12- and eight-speed respectively.
Flat-panel: It's the component you'll be spending all your time looking at, but PC makers often compromise on the monitor.
All the PCs in our chart come with flat-panels. The most common size is 19in - the quality of larger monitors is unlikely to be good at this price. Look for a monitor with a DVI or HDMI digital connector to ensure the best picture quality. Make sure the PC has one, too.
If display size or quality is of critical importance to you - and you're willing to cut costs elsewhere - you may be able to get a 22in 1080p flat-panel.
Graphics card: With the best graphics cards retailing for more than £300, a sub-£500 PC is unlikely to satisfy a hardcore gamer. However, decent graphics cards get cheaper all the time, and budget PCs can now handle games that were unthinkable a few months ago.
With VAT reverting to 17.5 percent at the beginning of January, don't expect to see HD 4870s at this price point.
For nVidia and ATI cards, always look for a 1GB rather than 512MB version if possible. And if you don't play games at all, consider purchasing a machine that relies on integrated graphics.
Power supply: Expect only a basic PSU at this price point. Without power-hungry components installed, there's simply no need for a more powerful supply. If you plan to upgrade your system - and in particular the graphics card - then your PSU must be able to deliver enough juice to power your new components. A 450W or 500W model is a good starting point.
Sound card and speakers: You're unlikely to get a standalone sound card at this price point. Most motherboards have built-in chips that can handle six-channel sound. To get the best out of them, you'll need a 5.1-channel system (five speakers and a subwoofer).

Governments around the world have started to rely on more digital government services. Ideally these new websites offer fast and efficient solutions. But the shaky rollout of HealthCare.gov served as a prime example of how digital government is not always good government. A new report from the Boston Consulting Group describes how different countries are approaching digital government. The authors surveyed over 12,000 users about their experiences and satisfaction with using online government services. The survey collected results from 12 different countries, including the U.S., the U.K., Australia, and France. The report finds that satisfaction varies throughout the world.

Hi Anthony. Thanks for the great theme!
I have two questions I hope you can help with.
1. I'd like to decrease the default containing width of 1200px to 980px. Is this as simple as doing a find/replace in style.css for the max-width property? Or, would this cause problems?
2. I'd like to increase the width of the gutters. I assume I'd increase margin-left property on .col from 1.6% to something greater in the grid.css file? And then do the math to adjust the twelve column grid width values? Any shortcuts/tips for figuring the adjusted column widths?

Litchfield Park voters went to the polls Tuesday and voted down a property tax.
After months of emotional debate, voters spoke, and what they said was: "No new taxes in Litchfield Park."
The city has no property tax. The levy would have raised $1 million the first year.
The decision to create a property tax split the community since the City Council voted 4-3 in January to send the measure to residents.
Anti-property tax residents said there is no financial crisis for the city and that it has savings to weather the recession. They said sales tax revenues will eventually increase, so there is no need for a property tax.
The pro-property tax side decried what they see as a shabbiness creeping in upon Litchfield Park. They note the worn roads and say the perimeter fence around the city has become an eyesore.
Mayor Thomas Schoaf said it is a difficult time for all residents when it comes to increasing taxes.
"All the residents are under tremendous pressure, and all the governmental units need to respond to that pressure and figure out ways to create value for our residents without having to increase what they have to pay," he said. "We hope . . . that we will continue providing the services we've provided historically without having to change the way that the tax structure exists in Litchfield Park, and that depends on our economy."
The mayor said he hopes the economy comes back and the Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa does well, which would allow the city to continue to provide the services that residents are accustomed to. The Wigwam is the city's biggest sales-tax generator.
The mayor said the property tax issue may come back, but if it does, the council should be united behind the tax.
"If there's a need for a property tax, it was premature today, and we'll have to see how things unfold for Arizona and for Litchfield Park," he said.
Councilman Peter Mahoney, who was one of the council members who brought the property tax question up for a vote, said he isn't disappointed, he's sad.
"I'm just sad knowing we are going to be back at this time next year doing this again unless we make some incredible cuts that are going to hurt our community," he said.
He said the economy will have to improve dramatically to avoid service reductions. He added that sales taxes are not improving and that the city manager said that the city has cut to the bone, so now the only thing left to do is cut into the bone.
Councilman Paul Stucky, who voted against the tax by early ballot, predicted Tuesday that the measure would be defeated. He said the economy is cyclical and that Litchfield Park has had bad economic times before and will again in the future.
He said that tax proponents like to say that those who pay Rural/Metro Fire Department for fire services would pay less money via the property tax.
But Stucky said there are people in the city, especially retirees, who can't afford to pay Rural/Metro, much less a new property tax. Those people aren't writing letters to the editor to argue their side because they are likely embarrassed by their circumstances, Stucky said.
"I've been told by several people that there are people living that close to the vest in this town, and this would be a disaster for them," he said. "Nobody talks about that. It never ever comes up."
Litchfield Park is nearing an agreement with Goodyear to buy into that city's fire service. Now, residents pay Rural/Metro, a private company, for fire protection.
Some have estimated that only half the residents pay Rural/Metro, and they complain that they carry the others who don't pay.
If the city reaches an agreement with Goodyear, the first year of the fire-services contract would cost $482,000, which would be paid out of the general fund. The agreement is for 25 years, with provisions for two 10-year extensions, or a maximum of 45 years.
Tessie Van Wagner, who has lived in Litchfield Park for 28 years, voted for the property tax Tuesday.
"Obviously, a logical mind would conclude that we don't have enough money to keep the city at the standards that we're all used to seeing," she said. "I'm very concerned when they talk about not over-seeding the park and not running the Rec Center on a regular basis, because we've come to rely on these recreational venues for years and years, and we treasure them."
Van Wagner said that when her family first moved to Litchfield Park, they paid $350 a year to the unincorporated town to keep up the common areas and to keep the grass mowed and green and "looking great."
"When we became a city in '87, we didn't have to pay that anymore," Van Wagner said. "So who's paying for all that? The sales tax is. So the citizens are not contributing at all to the environment that we live in, and that's not right. I think we should all contribute a little."

We would like to thank Dr Merritt for the generally complimentary remarks in reference to our paper.We accept his criticism of the semantic impropriety of the terms "incidence" and "control." In relation to his second question, we believe that Dr Merritt is correct in his assessment that the L casei serum folate values are log-normally distributed. We have computed the geometric means for the L casei serum folate for the group taking oral contraceptives and the group not taking oral contraceptives. For the group not taking oral contraceptives, the geometric mean is 6.2 ng/ml; for the group taking oral contaceptives, the geometric mean is 5.83 ng/ml. This is a difference of only 6% and is not statistically significant (P>.5).We believe that this statistical maneuver has reinforced our original contentions, and we continue to believe that our data demonstrate no significant difference in serum folate values by

Low-Frequency Tracking Behavior of Pickup Arm-Cartridge Systems
The design of a tone arm can affect tracking behavior for record warps and low-frequency audio signals. Using an equivalent circuit model, one can compute the tracking forces required for warps and low audio frequencies as a function of tone-arm and stylus parameters. The effect of reduced tone-arm mass with existing pickups and the design possibilities for new cartridges are discussed in detail.

An evaluation is made of a way to reduce the cost of program restructuring by having a compiler determine the program's packing in virtual address space from an analysis of its source code. Two features of this method are the duplication of code modules in virtual address space and the inline substitution of the code for a called procedure. This compile-time restructuring algorithm is evaluated using the instruction-only address traces from a collection of programs. In a simulation of a virtual memory system using disks as secondary storage devices, the method is not successful, since it leads to a higher optimum space-time execution cost than that of the unrestructured program. The algorithm did reduce program space-time execution cost for some arbitrarily chosen memory allocations smaller than the optimum. This could be useful in a multiuser, multiprogrammed environment

Muslim-ish: A safe place for free inquiry and support for questioning and ex-muslims
Who are we?
We are a group of Ex-Muslims and Muslims of varying degrees of religiosity.
What do we want?
We want to find the truth, no matter what it is, and fight for our right to follow it.
We want to create a safe place for people to exchange thoughts and ideas that we were taught not to talk about.
We want to support each other and help each other deal with questions from our families & societies , and formulate answers for them.
We want to give Irreligious people (atheists, deists, etc) in Muslim countries a voice, because they will be executed if their voices were raised.
Is it safe to attend?
We will invite people to our meetings publicly but the meeting location will only be known to people who have attended a meeting in the past.
So there are only two ways for a new member, or observer, to attend the meeting.
1- By coming with an existing member.
2- By replying to one of the ads and the volunteer group organizer, Ibrahim, will personally talk to them to make sure they are either Muslim-ish or moderate enough Muslims that they would not harm members or reveal their identity.
Please send inquiries to firstname.lastname@example.com
The group is limited to people from Muslim backgrounds, as this will help us talk freely and comfortably knowing that we all come from the same place.
New members must be approved by the Organizer

When I set the permalinks to defaults settings the site works fine without any 404's. Its when I then change it to date and name based (or any other permalink settings) that it brings the 404 pages on my whole blog except for the homepage.
I thought then maybe it the .htaccess file that hasnt been updated but it has. When I press update settings on the permalinks menu it says "Permalink structure updated."
So why isnt it allowing me to change the permalinks structure?

Photo credit: @Kuzya92
Washington Capitals top prospect Evengy Kuznetsov posted an updated family photo on Twitter Monday. It featured him, his wife Nastia, and his adorable new pug. The caption reads Simply Belyash, which means Simply a Meat Pie. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it's still awesome. I have so many questions. Like what is the name of Kuznetsov's new pug? Why does the pup look so sad? And most importantly, why is Kuznetsov wearing a hat that says "homies?"
Look at this guy. What a cutie patootie.
But this wouldn't be a Kuznetsov story without some drama. Later that night, Kuzya's pug got excited and gave his papa a present.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest forward Al-Farouq Aminu declared for the NBA draft on Thursday and announced he will hire an agent, ensuring his departure with two years of eligibility remaining.
The 6-foot-9 Aminu averaged 15.8 points this season and became the first Wake Forest player since Tim Duncan in 1997 to lead the Atlantic Coast Conference in rebounding at 10.7 per game.
"This was a difficult decision," Aminu said in a statement. "But after talking it over with my family and my coaches, I believe now is the right time for me to pursue my dream of playing in the NBA."
Coach Dino Gaudio said he did extensive research with NBA executives and believes Aminu is making the right choice. The Norcross, Ga., native is widely projected to be a first-round pick.
"I want to wish Al-Farouq all the best," Gaudio said. "I'm looking forward to following his progress in what will undoubtedly be a successful pro career."
WVU'S BRYANT UNLIKELY TO PLAY: West Virginia coach Bob Huggins says it's "highly unlikely" point guard Darryl "Truck" Bryant (Broken right foot) will be able to play in Saturday's Final Four game against Duke.
MINNESOTA: Tubby Smith is working on a contract extension at Minnesota -- not looking for a new job. Rumors this week suggested Oregon would make a big-dollar offer to make Smith the successor to the recently fired Ernie Kent. Smith was in Indianapolis on Thursday and said there was "nothing to talk about" in regards to Oregon.
HOUSTON: James Dickey was hired as Houston's coach on Thursday, putting him in charge of a program for the first time since he was fired from Texas Tech in 2001.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A Cuban immigrant sentenced to death for
the 2003 shooting death of his common-law wife has asked the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals to overturn the penalty.
Oral arguments were presented Tuesday in the case of Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez. The 54-year-old man was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death for the May 31, 2003, fatal shooting of Olimpia
Cardina Fisher at their southwest Oklahoma City home.
Prosecutors say evidence indicates he shot the 47-year-old Fisher in the eye, then waited about eight minutes before firing the fatal shot into the other eye.
Defense attorneys say Cuesta-Rodriguez had been depressed since leaving his family in Cuba in 1980 and acted in the heat of passion when he shot Fisher during an argument about their unraveling

It will remain one of the nagging mysteries of the 2012 Rangers: how Martin Perez got three starts in absolutely crucial pennant-race games, losing them all. He had a decent ERA in AAA last year, but a disturbing 56 walks against 69 strikeouts.2. Adam Starblind Posted: December 07, 2012 at 09:24 AM (#4319324)
Profar, Olt, and Martin all hit for nothing in limited time in the majors last season. The contrast between Profar and the other two, though, was electric. They'd bring Profar in in key situations; he had a few big hits; he batted (and made a hit) in the last inning of the play-in game, with the season fading but still on the line. SSS, but he's much younger than the other two and, in addition to speed, power, and defense, he controls the strike zone better than they do, better (to judge by his AA stats) than a whole lot of prospects, let alone teenagers.
Profar is blocked by Andrus and Olt by Beltre, but all the columnists here in the offseason expect some musical-chairs repositioning in 2013. Best guess is that Profar starts everyday at 2B, with Kinsler at 1B or possibly even the outfield. Unless Olt can win the 1B job, he's not going to play much. I doubt they'd keep him as a RHB platoon 1B with Mitch Moreland, though it would be a creative move if Olt could also be a backup at 3B and SS.
Can Olt hack a corner outfield spot? He appears to have the bat for it. Blogs are murmuring about an Olt for Dickey deal, but Olt would be even more blocked at 3B in NY than he is in Tex.3. Justin T drives a crooked hoss Posted: December 07, 2012 at 09:51 AM (#4319338)
Perez is like baseball's Jake Locker. No matter how long the guy goes just being so-so, he remains a darling of scouts.4. just plain joe Posted: December 07, 2012 at 09:53 AM (#4319341)
I would hate to see the Rangers play Profar at 2B. I don't know what the answer is to get him in the lineup along with Andrus, but IMHO playing him at second would needlessly expose him to injury. Perhaps the answer is to move either Andrus or Profar to CF, with the other playing SS (I'm assuming that Hamilton does not get resigned in this scenario).5. BDC Posted: December 07, 2012 at 10:00 AM (#4319349)
Olt for Dickey would be Justin Smoak for Cliff Lee, 2.0. Olt has power and a .390 minor-league OBP and is 24. Smoak has power and had a .400 minor-league OBP and was 23 when traded. It's not like such prospects are plentiful, but they still seem to have an uncertain path to actually becoming any good in the major leagues. I don't know about Olt in the outfield; he isn't particularly fast.6. Adam Starblind Posted: December 07, 2012 at 10:15 AM (#4319358)
Smoak though didn't show as much power as Olt has in the minors. And, you know, Dickey's not as good as Cliff Lee.7. Spivey Posted: December 07, 2012 at 10:19 AM (#4319362)
Profar has played some 2B in the minors. I think if the Rangers get rid of MY, Profar could be a good utility type playing some 3B, SS, and 2B. It also gives the Ranger some time on figuring out what they want to do with Andrus and Kinsler.8. zonk Posted: December 07, 2012 at 10:20 AM (#4319363)
Olt is supposed to be a pretty solid 3B defender, so I do think it is a bit of a waste to have him be an outfielder.
I'll be disappointed if the Rangers play Hamilton in CF, even if they do resign him. I'd like them to give Gentry a crack at a pretty full time role after the last couple of years, and have Martin waiting in the wings as well.
I wonder where Villanueva would have ranked on this list... I like him an awful lot and I think he was Theo's best acquisition last year.9. Walt Davis Posted: December 07, 2012 at 04:43 PM (#4319689)
FWIW - and maybe I'm crazy - but if I could trade my team's system for anyone else's -- I think I'd want the Rangers' system. I think they've got a really, really nice mix of talent all over the diamond, a nice mix of ceiling/performance types, advanced/raw talent, etc.
The easiest solution to the Profar "problem" is to trade Andrus. You'd get a lot for him. It's certainly a nice problem to have. Barring a trade, in the ruthless world, I'd keep Profar in the minors long enough to keep him from having a service year at the end of this year, possibly long enough to keep him from super 2 if the team is going well. This would give you a bit more time to evaluate whether Kinsler bounces back, Gentry can handle a full-time gig, whether whatever 1B/LF/RF/DH mix you've come up with is working, etc.10. Nasty Nate Posted: December 07, 2012 at 06:25 PM (#4319758)

I know this type of thing is almost never done, but it would be interesting if they traded Profar for another team's OF or SP prospect. It would have to be a blue-chipper obviously.

Looks like Young to the Phillies is a done deal.13. Dock Ellis on Acid Posted: December 08, 2012 at 02:11 PM (#4319995)
The Rangers will kick in $10M, and Young gets an extra $1.2M for waiving his no-trade. Josh Lindblom and minor leaguer Lisalverto Bonilla will go to Texas.14. Crispix reaches boiling point with lackluster play Posted: December 08, 2012 at 02:19 PM (#4319997)
Before the trade: Phillies have a first baseman making $20M who is utterly worthless against lefties.15. Crispix reaches boiling point with lackluster play Posted: December 08, 2012 at 02:29 PM (#4320005)
After the trade: Phillies have a two-headed first baseman making $27M who can hit both lefties and righties quite well.
That's my rose-tinted view. Time to go do some work.
I found ironclad evidence that Young will be platooning with Howard: incumbent Phillies 3B Kevin Frandsen is excited about the deal.

Back in Action
A Grace Place was swirling with activity Sept. 16, as volunteers scattered throughout the Henrico facility – some with books to read, others with paintbrushes in hand – to share their time, talents and smiles with others.
It was all part of the Greater Richmond and Petersburg United Way's annual Day of Action, during which some 300 volunteers teamed to visit 20 organizations throughout the region and lend their assistance in the form of 900 volunteer hours. The event signaled the kickoff of the United Way's annual fundraising drive which this year seeks to raise $17 million for the local chapter and the charities to which it contributes.
At A Grace Place, volunteers from Owens and Minor, Sun Trust and Dominion broke into several groups to help clients prepare for a fashion show the next day; host a jazz trivia event for others; paint an area in need of sprucing up; and lend their smiles and assistance to AGP's clients and staff members.
"It's a way for volunteers to get a firsthand look at what they can do for the United Way," said Lynne Seward, CEO of A Grace Place.
A Grace Place, a non-profit organization founded in 1969, provides daytime health services, support and activities for adults who have a wide range of special needs – from those with mental handicaps such as dementia and autism to those with disabilities and senior citizens with chronic conditions. Its 229 clients come from all over the Metro Richmond region, their visits covered fully or partially by Medicaid in most cases and by scholarships in others. Its Board of Directors is composed entirely of volunteers.
The organization considers itself fortunate to have a strong group of corporate partners, including those who visited during last month's Day of Action, as well as Genworth and Altria, Seward said. Local schools, including Collegiate, St. Christopher's and VCU, also send students to research and volunteer at AGP.
"It's great that corporations give time like this," Seward said, gesturing toward a group of volunteers from Owens and Minor as they took a group photograph before setting off to mingle with clients. "They go back to work with renewed energy."
The average client at A Grace Place receives services there for about a decade, Seward said. The organization usually has a handful of open spots, but Seward realizes that for each person it helps, countless others in the community are going without that same type of care. There simply aren't enough options available to provide care for the growing number of people afflicted with various conditions, including Alzheimer's, she said.
"We don't know where [many of them] are getting care right now," Seward said.
A Grace Place is adding services so that it will be able to accept more adults with autism and Alzheimer's. But, "the issue is funding," she said. The United Way's annual donations help – A Grace Place received more than $122,000 during its Fiscal Year 2008-09 – but funding from other sources continues to slide.
In one room last month, clients with dementia listened intently, smiles creeping across several of their faces, as a volunteer read a Dr. Seuss story. The room, decorated in soft tones and with children's furniture, is designed to provide clients with a sense of their own childhood years.
Age Wave Planning
With United Way and Senior Connections, The Capital Area Agency on Aging, leading the way, a number of public and private organizations and businesses recently joined together to initiate the Greater Richmond Age Wave program, which seeks to prepare the region for the anticipated population boom among senior citizens. Projections show that the number of adults 65 and older in Virginia will double to 700,000 or 800,000 within 20 years, creating a broad range of needs – and opportunities.
"We're already not meeting the needs of people today," said Lea Setegn, spokeswoman for the United Way. "What are we going to do when it doubles?"
The project seeks to identify potential challenges associated with the growing senior population – such as the need for affiliated services and long-term care options – identify gaps in the system and make recommendations about how to fill them.
Perhaps most troubling to those like Seward who see the effects firsthand is that most families are uninformed about the options that exist for their family members.
"Families are totally caught off-guard," she said. "People don't plan – for retirement or for their own future fees."
But A Grace Place also experiences the flip side of the growing population. It enjoys support from a number of volunteers who are themselves part of the Baby Boomers generation, Seward said.
"Baby boomers are changing everything that they touch," she said. "We have boomers who come in and don't only volunteer but invent new programs."

how it's been before:
i install a plugin. a tiny scrap of code i put into my sidebar.php, wham, there it is, working. i can customize my sidebar as i want, putting in mini loops, customized category listings, etc.
how it seems to be with widgets:
i no longer have control of my sidebar. instead, anything i want to be in my sidebar HAS to be a widget, which means anything i want to put in my sidebar i have to turn into a widget. this seems like a lot more work for me.
it's quite possible, however, that i'm misunderstanding, that instead it is possible to have customize your sidebar.php file, and use widgets at the same time.

Quick Shots – Silent Hill: Downpour is predictably creepy
Konami has released a handful of new screens for Silent Hill: Downpour, with almost everything you need from this franchise: darkness, creepy stares, and fog.
Siliconera had the screens, and reports this collection acts as a complement to a January batch, which you can check out in its archives.
Silent Hill: Downpour is expected on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 late this year.

Snr Const Blackford said the man was allegedly in New Zealand
illegally, after having already been deported to Fiji in the
He also faces an assault charge.
The man appeared in the Queenstown District Court yesterday

I am in. Thanks!
Yeah i figure it may be hard to snag one because people love them so much.
I would like to buy someone's used emberlit ti stove (not the mini), as long as it isn't warped i am interested no matter how discolored.
Thanks in advanced!
Sold to mchochran he had first dibs sorry.
Please close the thread please.
Tone+tone got it
Man can't believe no one has snatched this tarp!
Price is now 130!!
Bump/Price drop
135 for the tarp
Price lowered to 140 on the tarp.
Jarbridge is sold.
I believe it is the 132" ridgeline
I have a brown and green Jarbridge underquilt, only used a twice in the backyard and in perfect condition. -SOLD
I also have a black Old Man Winter tarp only used twice as well. It comes with a...
Wow very nicely done!
Where did you get the pole for the mod?
Why so much overstuff? I am guessing it is to push the rating lower but maybe marty could make larger custom baffles for you? Looks like an awesome set up he is great to work with and order from!
Wow new site is much more streamlined great work.
Welcome from Ohio, absolutely beautiful state you have up there
Thanks so much!
And awesome job the gear looks great.
The hat is awesome! Anyone know where the guide is by any chance?
Feels fine, there are some discolorations with the red side but not too noticeable. I dont care if there is a mark anyway im the only one using it! But feels top quality and stitching is great
Just got mine as well and man does it loft up nicely! Very toasty warm i can't wait to try it outside.
I like the roominess both tie outs give me. Plus i just tie them off to my tarp stakes anyway so not a big hassle.
Also got my shipping notice last night! Looks like he is cranking those quilts out
This thread is not making waiting on my quilt any easier now seeing truly how versatile it is! The second i get it it is off to the woods to test it out!
Man I hope you have an aftermarket seat on that thing for touring! I use a ninja 650 r and hammock along the way, its much cheaper than a hotel and i think more comfortable. Welcome to the forum!...
The OMW is awesome! It is seriously huge! A lot of tie outs though with the middle extra tie out and that gets to be a hassle but **** does it keep the tarp tight all night. But im sure you can't go...
Thought his videos were annoying at first but after the first one with all the info in it i really began to enjoy the sillyness, even if my friends think I'm weird for it! Much thanks to those videos...
I am definitely in!
I ordered mine two weeks ago and am so excited for it to come. I have heard nothing but good things!
Found the illustration I was talking about. All credit goes to Dejoha and his awesome book that helped me a ton when starting out "The Ultimate Hang".
Actually my girlfriend and I just did this, her in her eno singlenest and me in my WBBB. We used the same trees and did the bunk method that dejoha made an illustration, which I will try and find....
That was my thought too, maybe for the underquilt that would make sense but I don't see my top quilt getting wet, then again I have never had a top quilt.
The final cost difference is 60 dollars after shipping etc.
UGQ now has water resistant down in their quilts. This happens right before I was going to pull the trigger on a revelation x quilt! Needless to say I am torn between the extra 30 dollars for the...
Had bought a tadpole and it shipped as soon as I paid! Got to Ohio in two days and was made very very well. I hung it up and my girlfriend decided she wanted to hang too, just near each other. So I...
So many good ideas! Stuff sacks are definitely number one on the list since i need those anyway and i think eventually making my own topquilt sounds awesome
Stuff sacks are a great idea! How much do you think you save by making your own quilts and stuff? Or is a lot of it just a tailor made "I made that myself" type deal?
I am not very familiar with sewing but I would like to make my own topquilt and underquilt and possibly some clothes too like jackets etc. (So many possibilities!)
I was wondering what is a good...
That is why you order a bunch of stuff staggered like I did, wednesday it was a whoopie set, thursday was my blackbird, and today I got my underquilt! Made the waiting easy. Next will be my tarp and...
I would love to but that is just a bit too far out for me.

Great minds :) I just posted about doing this in Ohio ha
Got my Blackbird 1.1 DL! Needed it for a trip next weekend and Brandon had it sent the second I ordered! Although Ohio's drought decided to end the night that I do not have my big storm tarp, I only...
I wonder what fabric could used to make a cheap cuben fiber alternative with some of this spray, i would like superlight for sub 300 :p
Ha i removed mine remembering this is a hammock site and not worth it to argue over :). Being a microbiology and chemical engineering double major at OSU I love when i get to work in nanotechnology...
Hopefully this stuff could cost around the same as rain-x ! This would work great on my windshield, no more need for wiper blades :). It would work even better for my face shield on my helmet!
There was my quickie attempt at a drop cloth tarp :)
Got a jarbridge on sale so that should be good until i get the itch for down later on :). Thanks everyone.
Hahaha! Dang now I can't even change it since you already pointed it out :lol:

Excuse Me While I Dominate
By Curry Kirkpatrick
Published: October 26, 1997
The boy ate crawfish etouffee down on the bayou, played on the lap of the Secretary of the Army, did somersaults in the Court of St. James in London and vacationed along the Nile. The young man helped win two national basketball championships at Duke, played ''Tender Love'' on the piano for David Letterman, reversed the fortunes of an international corporation and would, if his advertising campaign were accurate, ''change the game.'' The professional superstar has a personal assistant, a personal chef and a personal Web site. Tiger Woods is at the locker room door and Muhammed Ali wants an autograph for his son.
''Sometimes I feel like I'm 100 years old,'' he says. '' Sometimes like I'm 4. My life is in chaos.'' But, whoa. Grant Hill still has to make his own bed and take out the garbage?
Well, yeah. A guy can appear on all the Olympic Dream Teams and n.b.a. All-Star Teams and ''Meet the Press'' television panels he wants. But when he comes home, he's going to have to pull his load, just like the old days when his mother would attach a note to the trash reading ''take me out.
Hill may ever be a trash-taker, but fortunately for the n.b.a. he has yet to be a trash-talker. Or jive-walker. Or anything but the All-American Star Next Door, the Truth, the Successor, the man after that other half-man, half-myth, Michael Jordan, finally soars away to his anointed pedestal in history. Having already had enough of the other young pretenders to Jordan's throne -- Shaquille O'Neal, the Shaquoliath himself, as much cartoon huckster as hero; Penny Hardaway, oft-injured when not playing second fiddle to his own puppet likeness, Lil' Penny; Alan Iverson, Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant, the infant axis barely out of swaddling clothes -- pro basketball is ready for Hill to take over the game.
But is he ready?
Upon dominating his teen-age peers at South Lakes High School in Reston, Va., Hill was so averse to separating himself from his age group that he resisted pressure to skip the J.V. team to join the varsity. ''This is child abuse,'' he angrily informed his parents. When he arrived at Duke University amid the drinking, smoking, Sodom and Gomorrah collegiate crowd, he informed his stunned classmates that he had been so sheltered at home, ''if I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, my mom wondered where I was.'' In the n.b.a. during his first two years, he continued to display his one disastrous character flaw -- an absurdly respectful deference to his elders. ''The trouble with Grant,'' his own father said just the other day, ''is that sometimes he's still amazed he's out there on the same court with all these great players.
''But that's all in the past,'' says Hill, now entering his fourth n.b.a. season. ''My basketball personality has changed. I came into last season wanting to send a message to my teammates, to the whole league. I'm for real. I mean business. I think I can be the best player in the n.b.a., and I want to show it.''
To many, that's just what he did, Michael Jordan notwithstanding. Hill is a vicious rebounder, an exquisite passer and a dangerous defender. ''Scotty Pippen may be the only player better,'' says Hubie Brown, the former pro coach who is now a TV analyst for Turner Sports, ''and the guy absolutely kills you covering the passing lanes.'' Two years ago, Hill became only the 15th player in modern N.B.A. history to lead his team in points, rebounds and assists. Last year, he added steals to the list.
Someone once suggested that Grant Henry Hill, the son of the running back Calvin Hill of Yale, the Dallas Cowboys and gridiron immortality and the former Janet McDonald of Wellesley, the University of Chicago and a Washington consulting partnership with Clifford Alexander (Secretary of the Army in the Carter Administration), wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth so much as with an entire silver service spread about the bassinet.
In fact, he was born the year his father's 'Boys won their first Super Bowl, the year they became America's Team. Moreover, for the first few days of his life Hill was not merely without a spoon but without a name: because his mother and father had figured on a girl, he was ''Baby Boy Hill'' until a friend of Calvin's who had come to the hospital picked a name he liked from the selections the Hills were considering. The friend was the Cowboys' Hall of Fame quarterback Roger Staubach. ''It finally took a decision maker to make a decision for them,'' Grant Hill chides his parents, still.
Now back in Great Falls, Va., the ever-ascending prophet of the Detroit Pistons is still without honor in his own land. Or at least in his folks' sprawling house amid the rolling hills on the cusp of the Virginia hunt country, where so many of Calvin's cars are still parked that, his son jokes: ''The neighbors must think we're drug dealers. Cal never throws anything away. He's still got every cleat he ever wore on the football field.
Together or apart, on Grant's daily phone calls home or even in conversations away from the family, the Hills' mutual long-distance badinage could be grist for some kind of sitcom mill:
''Grant's always falling to the floor during the Pistons' games,'' Calvin says. ''I tell him I don't remember myself going down that easily.''
''Cal fails to remember he played a game on the ground,'' Grant says. ''I play in the air. Football's for crazed fools anyway. My dad has a tough time with the fact I've eclipsed him.
''Grant's never won a pro championship ring,'' says the father.
''Cal's never had a shoe named after him,'' says the son.

I hope that all the citizens of this county will let our county commissioners know that they must support the buffer ordinance.
This is probably the most important legislation that we need to preserve the quality of life in our region, as our population increases so rapidly.
This ordinance has been carefully crafted to adapt to the great variety of land and water formations that are to be found in our region.
Buffers are areas of natural vegetation that fringe the borders of uplands, filtering the contaminants, such as fertilizers and pesticides, out of the ground water, before it flows into wetlands, streams and lakes.
This ordinance is vital to ensuring the cleanliness of our water, the survival of our wildlife, and the health of nurseries for our seafood.
The county commissioners, Chairman Marc Jacalone, Jim Bryant, Mary Kohnke, Nicholas Meiszer, and John Reardon, will meet to consider and vote for this bill on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. ...
You can call them at 823-2400.
Or you can e-mail them at firstname.lastname@example.com/fl/us.
Or, better yet, you can speak directly to them at Tuesday's meeting at the County Auditorium at 4020 Lewis Speedway (off U.S. 1 North).

10 reviews | 4.9 out of 5
I spent weeks researching crib mattresses and kept coming back to this one. It has only been out a few months and I could only find a few reviews on it. All of them were good but the lack of them made me slow to order. I would love an organic mattress but $350 plus is not in our budget. This really seemed to be made from the most natural and organic material in my price range. When I received this mattress I was not dissapointed. You can tell the quality is great and there is very very little new mattress smell. I love that it has two sides for different stages and think the firmness is perfect. My baby hasnt arrived yet but Im sure she will love it and I know I will sleep much better with my little one ona quality natural mattress.
Although our baby hasn't used the mattress yet, I'm pleased with the quality. One side is firm (seems there's a board under a thin layer of batting) for infant use, while the other is softer for toddler use. It fits well in the Graco Lauren crib we also purchased from Wal-Mart - not to tight, not too loose.
I only wanted the best for my baby girl who's due in April, so I did a ton of research on mattresses. I wanted something that is very firm for the newborn and not made of plastic. This mattress is THE ONE! It also has a toddler side which is a great plus. I'm very happy with this purchase. I haven't had a chance to use it yet but it seems like the best mattress I could find. It's more expensive than other mattresses out there, but totally worth it! Fits great in the crib. This mattress is a little bit on a heavy side.
I got this for my newborn baby, delivery is fast and comes in a well secure box. The material of this mattress is amazing, nothing but great quality! very firm but with nice cushion for the newborn. I couldn't be happier! It is well worth the price!
The DaVinci Willow Mattress fits the crib perfectly. The mattress is nice and firm. Overall construction of the mattress is excellent.
Comparison shopped for this mattress and Walmart had it cheapest by quite a bit, plus we had it shipped site-to-store for free. It's fantastic - organic materials, with cotton fabric on top (that was very important for us, we didn't want our poor baby sleeping on plastic that you can knock on and it'll make a sound, horrible), and it fits the standard crib perfectly with teeniest gap between it and the crib walls, I'm barely able to squeeze one finger in between. Can't recommend this mattress enough!
Researched long and hard before ordering this mattress. Very pleased with my purchase. No smell and fit perfect in my Jennylind crib. I did get a waterproof mattress pad that is organic to cover it. Our baby has yet to arrive but i know he will love it. Walmart had the best price and best shipping deal. I did have it shipped to my house instead of store pick up. Glad i did too since the box was very large. Arrived ahead of schedule too. Highly recommend the matress and ordering from Walmart!
My husband & I did not want our Son sleeping on a cheap plastic mattress, thats why we decided on this organic mattress, we just received it this week & we are very impressed with it. The craftmanship is excellent, the mattress is built just like a adult mattress.
We think it is well worth the money that was spent on it.
Our 18 month old boy has slept on this mattress since the first night he actually made it into the crib. We love that it is a real mattress instead of plastic! It still looks brand new! It has two sides- one for newborns and one for toddlers. We plan on getting another one for our next baby!

Hero(ine) Overdose
Yes, I've seen the new Batman movie, and Iron Man, and Superman Returns, and all the Spiderman films. And I'm apparently in good company... These are all movies that made gobs of money at the box office. I'd likely plunk down my $8 for the next in each series, too. But with comic book characters winning the day in movie houses, the New York Times' A.O. Scott raises a disturbing question for any fan of the cape and mask genre:
Any comic book fan knows that a hero at the height of his powers is a few panels removed from mortal danger, and that hubris has a way of summoning new enemies out of the shadows. Are the Caped Crusader and his colleagues basking in an endless summer of triumph, or is the sun already starting to set?
And before you brush it off as some sort of overly intellectual attack on comic book films, consider the evidence... Every comic book movie must follow a simple format (good guy v. bad guy, lots of action, evil never wins), and after many years of churning out movies full of bodysuits and secret identities, Hollywood may simply be running out of creative ways to get into and out of the big showdown with the villain. As comic book movies go, A.O. Scott gives credit to The Dark Knight for stretching farther than any of its kind so far. But he argues this may represent a peak... both in terms of pushing the limits, and in representing the beginning of an inevitable decline.

I havent seen the latest Batman...yet, but like Scott, I have seen all of the recent "Hero" movies. I have to say that I was a comic book reader as a youth and I feel that, except for the notable exception of Hulk, they did a good job on these movies and I've loved every one of them.
Despite that fact, I agree that it will be hard to continue the streak that comic book movies have been on. As Scott points out, Hollywood seems stuck in recycling the same good vs evil battle over and over. Hopefully, some director/producer/screen writer will actually go back and READ some of the STORIES that are in comic books and realize that there is much more to comics than a hero beating up a baddie. To point out a recent example of such a story: Identity Crisis, one of the most intriguing story lines in comic book history.
I don't need meaningful allegories when I go to an amusement park and I don't necessarily need it for fun popcorn movies.
The Superhero is alive and well as inspiration for fashion in a current exhibit of clothing at the Met, NYC
Good gravy, the caller at 0:47 was the most meandering, obtuse caller the show has had in some time. Can anyone explain to me the caller's point?
Super hero blockbusters appeal mostly to a male audience. This genre will always be popular because there will always be young males interested in violent action films.
While the comic-book action film has become a stpale of this summer, the action film as an over arching genre has been around since the conception of film. Your problem does not seem to be with the superheroes but with the over the top action which apperently every summer block buster needs.
Comic films can have soul without excess. Im excited for "The Watchmen" which is coming out next year but you "A history of violence", "30 days of night" and "road to predition" are all good movies which are based on comics.
These movies hold no surprises, little plot, rely heavily on special effects, and dis 50% of the US population -- women. How much lamer could a character be than Gweneth Paltrow in Iron Man? Adding insult is the obligatory "chick" flick label for any movie that might even hint at attracting women viewers. Thank God for Netflix and foreign films
As long as the movies in question are based on existing comic books, nothing truly surprising will emerge.
Any comic charater who is well loved enogh to base an entire fill off of, is to well loved to do anything radical to.
Fortunately, THE genre busting comic book of all time is being made into a film.
Watchmen will be the answer to the questions your report has raised.
'Nuf said.
The mistake this entire discussion is making, is conflating comic book movies with superhero movies. If you've watched, say, a History of Violence, American Splendor, the Road to Perdition, or many, many other non superhero comics that have since been turned into movies you will see that comic books are not restricted to guys and girls in tights.
Though speaking of the respective tights crowd, I feel the problem with a saturation of superhero movies is more a restriction of Hollywood on what they want from a superhero movie. Some great comics such as Invincible by Robert Kirkman(Currently in production as some sort of animated series) focus heavily on themes of Family and issues of family, but it is the studios who aren't interested in a superhero who's greatest travail is convincing his father that he is worthy of the powers that he wields, they want exactly what you complain about, and in turn, that is what we see in the box office.
It's no surprise that there is a cinematic "hero overdose" (and there is a "hero overdose.") I suppose it is the film world's feeble attempt to provide a downtrodden people who have completely lost their faith in "truth, justice and the American way," and who have no heroes to look toward to help salve a fractured nation. The problem is that these fictional heroes are just that. If there is any film that I am looking forward to is the opening of "Swing Vote." Now, there is a hero that we need -- a mirror image of the regular person. I am hoping that the film will help folks recognize that it is the common person who needs to wake up from his/her technologically-gadget-crazed-materialistic nightmare, and look in the mirror at the beauty to be found in being average. We need to become the heroes we seek. Hopefully, movie fans can understand that these celluloid fantasy/action figures are just that. In fact the only other so-called "caped and masked" character worth his salt was "V" in "V for Vendetta." His mission was to wake up the masses and inspire them to take some kind of accountability for their own destinies.
Hmmm, not a bad idea. Is it?
In a society where God is confined in our church's and temples - and on top of that, too holy to be connected with on a humanistic level (Last Temptation of Christ) - we need a pantheon of gods and heroes that allow us to explore our own incredible potential and tragic flaws, amplified times ten. In addition, the superhero genre provides a suitable spectrum of escapism that comforts us in trying times (war, economic instability).
I think we need to wait for WATCHMEN before we declare the demise of the Superhero Movie.
everyone should hang in there until the watchmen movie comes out. These films are for me revenge of the comic book nerd. some of the best stories that made me a reader are coming to life. I just wish they would inspire more respect for the comics and more readers in general
They should make a movie out of "Kick-Ass" by Mark Millar. Keep it true to the comic though.....unlike "Wanted" which he also wrote....
I think comic book fans would like the movies to be more in continuity with the books. The stories are waaaaayyyyyy better......
Comic books and graphic novels have already dealt with the 'superhero overload' the movie industry is in danger of experiencing. When people got tired of creating capes, villains, and the basic good vs. evil morality tale, the writing got more complex. Some of the work became reflective and self-analyzing like The Watchmen. Other works had no interest in superheroism and abandoned fantasy altogether, instead focusing on mundane, realistic, and introspective scenarios (American Splendor, Jimmy Corrigan). Yet others took the fantastic to new levels, mining the trove of mythology, past and present, to create new and exciting tales like The Sandman. And don't forget all the manga!
While the golden age of comic books has long passed, the age of the graphic novel has been flourishing for the past two decades, at least. So there's enough material to turn into exciting, thoughtful movies - and Hollywood seems to want to treat it with the same seriousness the original creators did. Of course there will be flops, bad acting, bad screenwriting, stories being cropped and dumbed down - it's Hollywood, after all. But great classics will also be made. I'll be curious to see what the 'visionary' director of the godawful 300 will do with the Watchmen. Till spring, then!

Life Lies and Lying Liars

From the corrections in today's Seattle Times:
Does photo from October provide evidence crane was leaning?: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that Jana Downing is 31 years old. She inadvertently provided an incorrect age for a story about the Nov. 16 crane collapse in Bellevue. She is 32 years old.
People do not "inadvertently" provide false information about their ages to members of the press. I suspect that Ms. Downing shaved a year off her age intentionally. Vanity, vanity. Lying about your age is an unforgivable sin and I hope that Ms. Downing is ashamed of her aged self.

I am a Pro Pack member and need to know if it is possible to separate the search form from the map and results so that they could live on different pages.
I would like to have the search form on the home page, when they click "find locations" I would like it to send them to a separate page that has the full search form, map, and results.
Is this possible to do this without writing my own custom code?
