More Duo Diaper Action Shots
I don't know what it is about that position for diaper photos.
Better, a "crawling away" shot.
Another "crawling away" shot.
Finally, a decent "sitting still" action shot. Too bad all the diapers are now dirty and in the wet bag.

Lara - so far we stay in one room, but my dad did catch us once while she was crawling away - I had her leg in one hand and was trying to attach the diaper velcro with the other hand. Fun stuff!

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said America's morality is at risk, while speaking at a fundraising dinner for the conservative Florida Family Policy Council.
Rubio told the group the debate in Washington should not be whether issues about moral values should be debated, but rather which issues to debate.
He also said the argument about whether God should be allowed in schools or in the government is ridiculous because God is everywhere and doesn't need permission to be in either.

The Night Counterby Alia Yunis
After 85 long years, Fatimah Abdullah is dying, and she knows when her time will come. In fact, it should come just nine days from tonight, the 992nd nightly visit of Scheherazade, the beautiful and immortal storyteller from the epic The Arabian Nights.Just as Scheherazade spun magical stories for 1,001 nights to save her own life, Fatima has spent each night telling Scheherazade her life stories, all the while knowing that on the 1,001st night, her storytelling will end forever. But between tonight and night 1,001, Fatima has a few loose ends to tie up. She must find a wife for her openly gay grandson, teach Arabic (and birth control) to her 17-year-old great-granddaughter, make amends with her estranged husband, and decide which of her troublesome children should inherit her family's home in Lebanon--a house she herself has not seen in nearly 70 years. All this while under the surveillance of two bumbling FBI agents eager to uncover Al Qaeda in Los Angeles.But Fatima's children are wrapped up in their own chaotic lives and disinterested in their mother or their inheritances. As Fatima weaves the stories of her husband, children, and grandchildren, we meet a visionless psychic, a conflicted U.S. soldier, a gynecologist who has a daughter with a love of shoplifting and a tendency to get unexpectedly pregnant, a Harvard-educated alcoholic cab driver edging towards his fifth marriage, a lovelorn matchmaker, and a Texas homecoming queen. Taken in parts, Fatima's relations are capricious and steadfast, affectionate and smothering, connected yet terribly alone. Taken all together, they present a striking and surprising tapestry of modern Arab American life.Shifting between the U.S. and Lebanon over the last hundred years, Alia Yunis crafts a bewitching novel imbued with great humanity, imagination, and a touch of magic realism. Be prepared to be utterly charmed.From the Hardcover edition.

Here is the thread for discussion of Saturday's NFL Wild Card games: Cincinnati at Houston and Detroit at New Orleans.

What a great day for Boston fans--
Josh McDaniels coming back
Patriots find out next week's opponent
The Pats only find out next week's opponent if the Bengals win.
I do not believe the Broncos have any chance at all to win.
Although I wold love them to!
Screwier things happen annually in the playoffs.
Yeah, you'd think year after year of playoff upsets would persuade people that the playoffs are, in fact, not a place for certainties. Good job, Denver. Now, please please please kick the Patriots around the field.

That was a pretty terrible decision to challenge a 3rd down spot there by Marvin Lewis.
Yeah. Even if you win you lose a challenge. 3rd and inches isn't so terrible.
I haven't seen any Cinci games all year...Dalton's pretty impressive
I haven't seen any Cinci games all year...Dalton's pretty impressive
I think stepping out of the end zone with posession of the ball should be a safety. Also when it's the kick returner.
[edit] wait, then it also should be for interceptions... I don't know if I agree anymore.
Is the rule now that you should be under pressure??
And now the Bengals are out of challenges with 34 minutes left in the game.
Anybody have "JJ Watt" in today's TD pool?
Am I being too harsh for thinking Dalton didn't really try to chase Watt down on the
I think so. One Texan fell, and inadvertently blocked him initially. Then he has to catch up to and then tackle a 280-pounder with a 5-yard headstart before he reaches thee end-zone 30 yards down field. Impossible.
Really impressive play by JJ Watt! Better hands than a lot of receivers.
Nice play to bat the pass, but I put the fact he caught it more down to luck, and whatever sticky substance they put on gloves these days.
I am surprised Cincinnati didn't try to do more with 50 seconds left on the clock.
Then they run a play, and call a timeout.
The AI in madden 08 does that too.
Nice focus by Andre Johnson on juggle/catch.
Andre Johnson totally hosed Pacman Jones on that TD pass.
Pacman Jones gets buuuuurned.
It's fun when defenders try to tackle Jerome Simpson low.
So 4th-and-3 i enemy territory down 14 in the fourth quarter. This is a no-brainer GO FOR IT!
Bat it down, silly.
People congratulate Joseph... they shouldn't be on an NFL sideline.
True, but...
didn't Jacksonville convert a Hail Mary against Houston last year because the DB did the smart thing and batted it down -- right to the trailing WR?
Wisconsin had that happen to them against MSU, too.
I had the same sequence of thoughts while watching the game. At first I was ticked that it wasn't batted down. Then I remembered the Jacksonville game and figured the equivalent of a short punt when up by two scores was better than the slight, but real, risk that the ball gets batted to one of the two Bengals in the vicinity. If the Texans were trailing at the time then it would have been a much worse play for Joseph to intercept it, but at that point in the game it was a wash.
Some nice running by Foster, but try and go down in bounds........
He listened to you on that TD run.
2 scores behind, 7 minutes on the clock.
All first down runs and all screens on 2nd and long should go out of the window now.
Let's see...
Chris Crocker...talk about a whiff
Chris Crocker fail. Holeee cow thats pathetic.
Did anyone else pick up on the fact that when the bangals were in punt formation, the announcer said "on 4th and 3 the bengals will go for it". How did the announcer know they were going to go for it? NFL scripted?????????
I noticed that.
When they came back from the timeout, the announcers pretended they had never said any such thing.
Maybe they assumed Marvin Lewis wasn't an idiot.
Faith Hill, who sings NBC's opener is pretty but not sexy. Just a conclusion I made just now.
I appear to have just paid £50-odd to not see playoff games until 6 days after they're played. Is my drunkenness causing greater-than-average stupidity, or is the NFL really that evil?
Yeah the NFL's website is a little dishonest about what it is people are actually subscribing to with their streaming service.
At least on some pages it is carefully phrased so that it looks as though you can watch live games, and then after you have bought it gives you the full terms.
"Watch all of 2011 Postseason's upcoming Playoff games LIVE in high-definition. During the Postseason, access all completed 2011 Regular Season games on-demand."
Then in the Terms and Conditions there is no mentioning of the post season.
Does the NBC streaming website not work for people outside of the States?
On the upside, in your case, you can probably sue the NFL in British courts.
On the downside, the UK likely has at least a minimal barrier of entry for a lawsuit.
I hated that sequence on the last Detroit possession. 2nd down deep throw (off his back foot), 3rd down deep throw (off his back foot), 4th down punt from midfield.
Why not try to gain yards and give yourself a reasonable chance at the one first down needed to get you into a reasonable scoring range? It's not as if you're going to stop the Saints offense... and they didn't. And now it is tied.
Especially against the Saints, whose LBs are terrible. Detroit are gashing them in every way imagineable, so there is no need to resort to throwing prayers to Megatron - at least not yet.
I hate Stafford's mechanics. Almost every throw he makes, it comes out of his hand and I think "well that's not going to succeed." But then it's a great throw for a touchdown.
If Lions keep getting turnovers, they have a very good chance at an upset here.
That was a very call on the Brees fumble/incomplete turnover. As the ball was still flying through the air they were blowing it dead, then DET recovers, and they keep blowing it dead, so everyone assume incomplete, and then they annoyance DET ball.
I guess one ref must have been sure it was incomplete and blew it dead inappropriately, and then his compatriots quickly straightened him out? It must have been quick because there was very little delay.
Refs blew that one. The ball was clearly loose when the whistle blew. According to 7.4.4:
If an official inadvertently sounds his whistle during a play, the ball becomes
dead immediately:
(b) If the ball is a loose ball resulting from a fumble, backward pass, or illegal pass, the
team last in possession may elect to put the ball in play at the spot possession was
lost or to replay the down.
Should have been Saints ball, down over.
Yup, they managed to screw up twice with the same action. That's efficiency.
Why on Earth would part (b) of that rule ever exist?
Under that rule, the team that was victimized by the incorrect ruling is further victimized by (b) by replaying the down if they lost yardage (sack-fumble) or taking the yardage at the spot if they gained it!
It's interesting, reading through the NFL rules about inadvertent whistles and what is and is not challengeable, how much more susceptible the NFL rules are to corruption than the NCAA rules. Much more is reviewable in the NCAA, and the balancing of injury due to official misconduct is far more correctly weighted. It's shockingly easy to assist one team versus another in the NFL, simply by blowing the whistle early any time the ball is not that team's grasp. Hell, giving a team a 6th or 7th down isn't reviewable, nor is changing the time on the clock.
It's amazing that a league as awash in money as the NFL, and with amateur referees, doesn't have more controls over the magnitude of the effect that can be delivered by simply buying off one ref.
Wow, great job by the official there. Throw a horrible flag for contact to the head of a WR, then miss the fact that the ball hit the ground. Terrific.
Yeah that was pretty weak. Saints also got some home field clock on that play from 16 seconds, which lasted at least 10, yet only 8 seconds ran off.
But they ended up with a FG anyway so no big deal.
Good game so far, DET is playing a lot better defense than I anticipated. Surprised they aren't bringing more pressure, but it appears that is smart.
I'm gobsmacked at how favorable the refs are for the Saints tonight.
Questionable spots, hands to the helmet, whistles to stop the TD recovery.
One-sided o-line holding. This is terrible.
/Not a Lions fan
Officiating is always swinging games +/- 10 pts. It is just part of the randomness of the game. Would feel better if DET got a call though.
Giving Brees forward progress on that play, when he voluntarily pulled the ball back short of the line to gain after sticking it across, is tantamount to giving forward progress to a receiver who catches a pass beyond the sticks, then gives ground attempting to break a long gain and gets tackled short.
Agreed. I made the same comment in the chat.
I saw that!
edit: oh you mean IRC not SNF Extra
That's the rule, isn't it?
I've never seen anything resembling consistency when it comes to forward progress rulings.
I was wondering the same thing, but I watched the Bruins-Canucks game earlier, so I'm already desensitized to terrible officiating.
But I think the Bruins made the point they wanted to make last June, but couldn't.
Eh no.
When he breaks the goal line, the play is over. Whatever happens after that, doesn't matter.
When a receiver runs backwards (voluntarily) he won't be given forward progress. I think you're confusing it with when the guy is tackled backwards, only then because he isn't going backwards voluntarily, he gets forward progress.
They weren't on the goal line. A play doesn't end when the ball carrier sticks the ball past the first down marker in the middle of the field, it ends when he goes down by contact or is deemed to be under the control of the defense.
Calvin Johnson is really good at football.
You can't say Sean Payton is afraid to go for it on 4th down.
Is Detroit really bad at tackling, or are the Saints just great at
breaking them?
Tackling in general seems bad - lack of padded practices?
I have no problem believing that the larger the impact between 2 players, the harder it is for the defender to wrap up.
So with players getting bigger, the wrap up tackling is getting more difficult.
That and less padded practices.
What's the over/under on Calvin Johnson yards on this drive?
Goodnight Detroit. See you next season.
throwing every deep pass off his back foot finally bites stafford in the ass
If you let people run past by your coverage like that, you don't deserve to go past the wild card week.
I never quite understood the concept of a comer "handing off" a WR on a play like that. The corner is already 15 yards down the field and unable to do anything else useful on the play, why doesn't he just stay with his man.
If it's zone, the defender has responsibility for the underneath receiver. So he passes the receiver going deep to the safety and then concentrates on the receiver not going deep.
But on this play, it looked like the defenders didn't know each other's coverage and just did nothing to Meachem.
still throwing off his back foot, that time not even with pressure in his face... he's as bad as Cutler
Detroit onside kicks here, right?
No defense at all for the Lions after the 1st quarter.
I've made as many punts today as the Saints' punter.
What happened to the last 35 seconds of the game in New Orleans? Kneel down on 4th down, change of possession, clock should stop. Doesn't affect the outcome, but completes a night of sloppy officiating, including the bad spot on Brees's QB sneak and the quick whistle on the fumble ruled incomplete.
Ugly, boring game in NO. For all the hype, the Saints look pretty darned mortal and the Lions D-line (and defense as a whole) appeared to be absent.
Lions defense absent? Maybe, but shouldn't we credit the Saints for making them seem absent?
The evidence at hand is that the Saints put up +600 yards of offense and 45 points on the 9th ranked defense (4th in pass defense). The only reason this wasn't 60 points is those fumbles early on. The Saints were absolutely unstoppable - ZERO punts - against the best pass defense they'll face on this side of the super bowl (3rd best defense overall).
Defense, of course is shaky at best, but we knew that. And if the offense keeps "looking mortal" you'll still have to score on every possesion to keep up with these guys.
/In a dome at least.
I counted four potential INTs dropped by Lions DBs, across three separate drives. Two just before halftime, one on a quick out, and one underthrown deep ball when Brees had pressure in his face. All occurred with the outcome of the game in doubt.
If the Lions D could catch the game might have turned out very differently. Brees deserves credit for a lot of very good throws, but got away with bad ones as well.
Defense as a whole looked mortal this season.
Which I suspect will be a problem for the NFL at some point going forward. Just how popular is the Arena League versus the NFL? Because we're rapidly approaching Arena League rules.
That said, NO has the best offensive line in the league, so long as their tackles get a little help. DET's D-line actually did pretty well against them. What killed them was poor tackling by the LBs on runs and screens, and the Lions not having enough DB depth to adequately play in nickle full-time.
So much for the parity theory as the 6 seeds go down by 21 and 17 pts, respectively. Tomorrow's games are inconsequential in terms of whether this was a huge parity issue as two very weak home seeds play one strong team with huge injury issues and a pretty good team in a 50-50 game.
The Atlanta/NY winner will be at least 10 pt underdogs against GB; Denver will be more like 13 pt underdogs to the Patriots-- the one real "parity" issue of course is a fluke of the divisions-- Pittsburgh is a very good team (and has been all year) masquerading as a 5 seed.
GB or NO will be the NFC representative in the Super Bowl-- and one of the top 3 teams will be the AFC representative-- and the Bengals, Lions, Broncos, Giants, Falcons and Texans are simply not in the same class-- they do represent the true parity but downward compared to the likes of San Diego, Philadephia, Chicago, Oakland, and Dallas, not upwards compared to the elite. The 49ers may upset the applecart at Candlestick because of a huge stylistic difference-- but they won't beat NO and GB back to back.
Parity is not whether some teams are better than others or are stable enough to remain good. Parity is whether a given integer is even or odd.
It's easy to misjudge how close a game was simply by looking at the final score. The Lions gave a good account of themselves and only fell so far behind at the end because they felt forced to try an onside kick, which failed and then gave the Saints great field position.
As for the Bengals/Texans game, I would argue that the Bengals looked like the better team for the first 25 minutes. But the Watt pick 6 really broke their spirit, while rejuvenating the Texans.
So yeah, the better teams won, but the games were not routs.
Those were my impressions as well, and I wouldn't even go that far on the Bengals/Texans game since that remained a contest until quite late.
DET-NO was a 3-pt game entering the 4th, and featured a relevant onside kick.
Cincinnati dropped a pick-6 late in the 3rd against Houston that would have given them the lead.
Despite the final margins, both games were competitive into the 4th quarters.
The TJ Yates Texans certainly aren't in the same class. The Matt Schaub Texans with only one of Johnson and Foster healthy and no Mario Williams are. The full strength Texans might be the best team in football.

"She likes to eat," says a source. "Girl has a bagel, gets a pooch and – poof! – everyone thinks she's pregnant."
This time, it seems, everyone was right. Nine months after Garner, 33, and Ben Affleck, 32, began dating, sources tell PEOPLE the couple are three months into a pregnancy.
But don't expect any official statements of joy. In contrast to his very public romance with Jennifer Lopez, the actor has kept his relationship with Garner private. They have spent their together time quietly hanging out in the Brentwood, Calif., neighborhood where they both live: grocery shopping, getting coffee at Starbucks, renting movies at Blockbuster and, oh yes, getting engaged.
Soon after, she was sporting a diamond eternity band, although a wedding ceremony would have to be scheduled around work: Garner is already in Vancouver for the two-month shoot of the romantic comedy Catch and Release. Her pregnancy, says a rep for the film, would "absolutely not cause any recasting."
And what about Sydney Bristow, the action hero she plays on Alias? "I'm sure (executive producer) J.J. Abrams is glad he did that episode where Sydney's eggs were harvested," says a source.
Back in Brentwood, Garner strolled into the baby shop Wonderland on May 2 and later sent an assistant to pick up a $66 stroller blanket in off-white. In Affleck's hometown of Boston, meanwhile, his mom, Chris, "would like nothing more than to have another grandchild," says a source. "She will be thrilled."

Supraventricular Tachycardia
What is supraventricular tachycardia?
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a condition that causes your heart to beat much faster than it should. SVT is a type of abnormal heart rhythm, called an arrhythmia, that starts in the upper part of your heart. It may last from a few seconds or hours to several days. In most cases SVT is not life-threatening, but it should be treated or prevented.
What increases your risk for SVT?
- Health conditions such as anemia, a thyroid disorder, or heart problems
- Caffeine, herbs, or dietary supplements
- Dehydration
- Pregnancy
- Exercise, fever, or stress
- Smoking, drinking alcohol, or using illegal drugs
What are the signs and symptoms of SVT?
You may have no symptoms during an SVT episode. If you do have symptoms, they may include any of the following:
- A pounding, racing, or fluttering heartbeat
- Fatigue, weakness, or shortness of breath
- Feel lightheaded, dizzy, or faint.
- Pain, pressure, or tightness in your chest, neck, jaw, arms, or upper back
- Nausea
- Feel anxious, scared, or worried that something bad may happen
How is SVT diagnosed?
Your healthcare provider will ask about other health conditions and what symptoms you have. He will also listen to your heart and lungs. You may need any of the following tests:
- Blood or urine tests are done to check for causes of SVT.
- An EKG is a test to record your heart rhythm and how fast your heart beats. It is used to check for problems with your heart. Your healthcare provider may do an EKG when you are resting, then again after you exercise. You may also need to wear a portable heart monitor at home for a short time.
- A chest x-ray shows a picture of your heart and lungs.
- An echocardiogram is a type of ultrasound. Sound waves are used to show the structure and function of your heart.
- A tilt table test checks your heart and blood pressure when your body changes positions.
- An electrophysiology study is a procedure to map the electrical pathways in your heart that control your heartbeat. Readings are taken through a catheter inserted into a blood vessel in your groin or neck that goes up to your heart.
How is SVT treated?
Treatment will depend on what is causing your SVT and your symptoms. You may not need treatment. You may need one or more of the following:
- Medicines can help control your heart rate and rhythm.
- Vagal maneuvers are ways to use your own body to slow down your heart rate. Your healthcare provider may have you cough, bear down like you are having a bowel movement, or put your face in cold water. You healthcare provider may teach you how to do vagal maneuvers so you can do them at home.
- Carotid sinus massage is a type of massage to help slow your heart rate. Your healthcare provider will massage an area on your neck. Do not do a carotid sinus massage on yourself or anyone else.
- Cardioversion is a procedure to return your heart rate and rhythm to normal. It can be done with medicine or an electric shock.
- Ablation is a procedure that uses a catheter to damage the small area of your heart that is causing abnormal electrical signals.
How can I manage or prevent SVT?
- Keep a diary of your symptoms. Write down what you ate or what you were doing before an episode of SVT. Also write down anything you did to make the SVT stop. Bring your diary to follow up visits with your healthcare provider.
- Manage other health conditions such as diabetes, thyroid problems, or high blood pressure. Follow up with healthcare providers as directed.
- Eat heart-healthy foods. These include fruits, vegetables, whole-grain breads, low-fat dairy products, beans, lean meats, and fish. Replace butter and margarine with heart-healthy oils such as olive oil and canola oil.
- Exercise and maintain a healthy weight. Ask your healthcare provider how much you should weigh. Ask him to help you create a weight loss plan if you are overweight. Also, ask about the best exercise plan for you.
- Limit caffeine and alcohol. These can increase your risk for SVT. Ask your healthcare provider how much alcohol is safe for you.
- Do not smoke. If you smoke, it is never too late to quit. Ask for information if you need help quitting.
When should I contact my healthcare provider?
- Your symptoms get worse, or you have new symptoms.
- You have swelling in your ankles or feet.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.
When should I seek immediate care or call 911?
- Chest pain, tightness, or pressure that lasts more than 1 to 2 minutes. The discomfort may spread to your shoulders, arms, jaw, neck, or back. The discomfort may be a burning that feels like heartburn.
- You have sudden shortness of breath
- You have dizziness, lightheadedness, or faint.
- You have sudden numbness or weakness in your arms or legs.

I don't think shopping is ever out of season, but the next few weeks are prime shopping time for the gardener. We have excellent garden centers in and around Seneca County, and buying locally means the plants offered are right for this area.
There are many decisions to be made, and to a great extent wisdom comes with experience. But not always. On this topic, I do not always practice what I preach.
It is good to have a list of "must haves," and shopping around for the best selection and the best price within those choices is to be recommended. But don't take the fun out of shopping. Those irresistible bargains and interesting mystery plants add the element of surprise to the garden, and as you tour the neighborhood suppliers, you are sure to find some of both.
It doesn't hurt to take a chance.
One of my very best finds was one late fall a few years ago when I spotted a star magnolia on top of a discard pile at a garden center a hundred miles or so south of here. I had been looking at the expensive varieties, and decided I'd have to wait another year to buy one of these beauties when I saw the heap behind a greenhouse.
I found a worker who told me to help myself, with the advice the magnolia would not prosper. Well, it did, and every spring when those fat buds open, I think of the shrub's humble origin.
Fact Box
Janet Del Turco is a local gardener and a graduate of the Ohio State University Master Gardener program.
But discard piles are not the best place to shop, and late fall generally is not the best time to plant. Sometimes, you just get lucky.
When buying annuals, look for healthy plants with no yellowish, pale or browning leaves, with strong stems and compact form. Plants that look too tall may be root-bound.
Be aware plants in full flower early in the season may not have been given enough time to develop good root systems, and after those blossoms die, they may take a while to produce a later flush of flowers.
It is helpful to see the color and size of blooms on a plant you are buying, but beware of those baskets overflowing with enormous bright clumps of flowers. They may have spent their best days in the greenhouse. I have heard them described as "bouquets with roots" and they are wonderful for a special occasion, or to provide color and excitement while less showy specimens gear up for summer.
Just consider what you really need - instant beauty or long-term, consistent flowering. You probably want some of each.
When shopping for perennials or shrubs, be sure of what you want. Even when shopping locally, it is a good idea to do some early research in illustrated catalogs so, when you find what you are looking for, you will know it is right for your garden.
Bare root roses and other plants will take longer to settle in than the container-grown ones, but may be significantly less expensive. Forsythia, lilac and other flowering shrubs may seem sparse when you see them for sale, but they soon will fill out and give you many years of pleasure.
Shop early for vines.
One stem growing up a stake can be unwound fairly easily, but it takes fortitude to untangle a thunbergia or a mandevilla with dozens of stems twining around one another. I know!
But then serendipity comes into play. If you are in the right place at the right time for something wonderful, snatch it up. You won't be sorry.

Safavian Found GuiltyTweet
June 20, 2006
It's all over the news, but in case you missed it: a jury found the first person in connection with the Jack Abramoff case to be put on trial, David H. Safavian, guilty of four felony charges against him. The Washington Post reports that:
The jury found Safavian guilty of three counts of making false statements -- to the GSA Office of Inspector General, a GSA ethics official and the Senate Indian Affairs Committee -- and one count of obstructing the GSA inspector general's investigation. He was acquitted of another charge of obstructing an investigation by the Indian Affairs Committee.
Safavian tried to help Abramoff acquire a General Service Administration properties, but didn't get very far.
The seemingly endless number of corruption cases the public has seen in the last year from Duke Cunningham to William Jefferson casts serious doubt on the integrity of our government. Though most government employees do their jobs well, many must feel demoralized when the system allows corruption to grow rampant in their midst.

Your Take: What Project Have You Been Putting Off?
|Email Print
I normally am not a fan of gift cards because they force you to spend them at a particular store, I instead think that cash can still be a classy gift if presented in the right way (and who doesn't like cash?). However, if I were to get a gift card, there are few stores I'd rather get a card for than Home Depot because, like all other homeowners, I seem to be one project away from being "finished." There's always something I can get there and Home Depot doesn't play any of the BS gift card games like devaluing the card if you don't use it or charging annual fees.
From now until February 28th, The Home Depot is offering a special commemorative "Dream" gift card to celebrate and support the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Home Depot will donate 5% of each "Dream" gift card to support the Center for Civil and Human Rights, up to $1 million dollars. The monies will then be used to build a permanent home for Dr. Martin Luther King's history papers, a collection of over 10,000 items consisting of his personal writings and papers. The collection includes over 7,000 handwritten notes from 1946 to 1968 and include drafts of his "I Have a Dream" speech, his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," other theological writings and his Nobel Peace Prize addresses.
You can buy these cards at a store or online at Home Depot (here are some Home Depot coupons you can use).
To help get the word out, Home Depot is giving Bargaineering readers an opportunity to win a $50 gift card! To win, all you have to do is leave a comment telling us what is the one project in your house that you keep putting off? You all know what I mean, it's the toilet with the leaky tank, the door that doesn't close all the way, the faucet that continually drips. What is the one project you keep putting off? For me, it's my closet door that doesn't close all the way. My closet won't close because it's just too big. I've sanded it a little but I need to get the electric sander out and really go to town before the stupid thing will close. I haven't done it yet because my office is carpeted and I just don't want to deal with both sanding and cleaning up. 🙂
So, what project have you been putting off? Tell us all by noon on February 13th and you will be in the running. I will randomly select one commenter to receive the $50 Home Depot "Dream" gift card. Void where prohibited. Good luck!
The contest is now closed, the lucky winner is "tom rundel" (Comment ID 296068) who just put in a wood stove, I hope this $50 gift card from Home Depot can help complete the look!{ 666 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

(Delivery 1-2 weeks)
(Delivery 2-3 weeks)
(Delivery 4-8 weeks)
orderd 100% Kick Ass Hope I am not too late its for australia
UPDATE: Everything going well. I should have the t-shirts next week and I'll send them out shortly after that :) Please be patient.
UPDATE: I'm getting the t-shirts produced the week of Nov. 8th, which will take a week or so, then I'll need to sort through all the orders and send them out. So depending on where you live it will take a few weeks after that. Please be patient.
I still don't have orders, so I'll wait a little longer. Please place your orders soon though.
man I wasn't expecting them to cost so much with shipping, I'm a poor college student lol
im going to try to buy a tshirt by wedensday hopefully.
I live in the UK and I am not sure that your sizes match UK sizes. I have a 42 inch chest - What size should I order?
If i had the money i would definently buy one.
Though i would like some different designs
10.00 shipping ouch, is there lead woven into the shirt?
I'm located in Canada, so shipping to the US is a bit pricey :(
Folks, theres only a little over a week to get your t-shirts. Please order sometime this month (Oct. 2010) so I can go ahead and get these t-shirts produced.
"unfortunately the motherboard tray is not removable"
For those who still haven't purchased a t-shirt, I would strongly encourage you to do so. Remember, if I don't get enough orders by the end of Oct., this won't go through. Watch the video about to find out more.
I placed an order for the motherboard tray shirt 9 days ago and forgot to post a comment. Can't wait to get it!
Thanks so much. Let's hope more do the same real soon, because there's only little over a week left.
Will you make some with just the 3dgameman logo.
If the demand is not there, probably not.
Reminder, everyone has until the end of October to purchase. So if you want a t-shirt remember to get one soon so I can go ahead with this.
If this all goes well you should expand the amount of shirts... heres one. "...And now have a listen to the stock cooling."
Is that your wife on some of the ads?
Yup, that's his better-half. ;)
rodney just curious is the sale going ok? y ok i mean the orders coming alot cause i really like to have mine soon
Well, people have until the end of October to pay, so please be patient.
Why cant i buy more then 1 shirt?
You can. Are you having an issue? If so, please let me know.
If i buy 3 shirts, do i have to place 3 separet orders and will 3 shirts cost me 45 dollars in shipping?
The way that the payment system is setup you will need to do separate orders. This discourages people from buying to many for themselves, which means most everyone will get a tshirt. The thing is I don't want one person buying up most of the tshirts, and then none is left for others.
I don't follow this concept. If they want to buy more shirts then let them!
Just placed my order for "100% KICKASS PRODUCT" Shirt. Hope the turn out is good with the orders.
Quick question "if lets say that only the USA orders reach the 32shirt cap. and the others don't will the USA shirts shipout only or none will ship?"
Thanks for the purchase.
Most of the orders for all regions would need to be filled in order for me to go ahead. It looks good so far and I'm giving everyone until the end October to place their order. So let's keep our fingers crossed.
REMINDER: Please check that your address is correct in your PayPal account, to insure it's sent to the correct location.
can you send me a printer copy of motherbord tray and i will print it out and set it on one of my 5xl t-shirts
Is there any way that you can Sign my T-shirt for me.
Well I don't have that as an option atm, but maybe there is a special pen I could get. I doubt I'll do this through.
I think it's a great option and easy support money.
ordered mine and im from oasis ... sri lanka to be exact cant wait for it to come thanks rodney you the man :)
Fantastic bud :)
Ordered mine! :) I hope they go are a great seller!
Thanks bud :) Let's hope many more buy one so I can get them produced.
Oh my! Many folks from Overseas 'said' they wanted T-shirts, but now it seems that a few of them are now complaining about shipping costs. Shipping within Canada or the USA will be cheaper than Internationally. International shipping is more than local shipping and there's nothing I can do about shipping costs.
This is exactly why I was hesitant about taking International orders. Well, this is a trial, so let's see how it goes. If it goes well, orders will go out, otherwise, I'll refund everyone their money.
For the overseas shipments I suggest that you mark them gifts, otherwise there may be some additional custom fees for the reciever ;)
Jesus guys, International shipping for $ 15 is ludicrous CHEAP. Not expensive.
If you can find international shipping cheaper than that - please take it up with Rodney, but you really cant expect anything more.
When I order watercooling parts from performance pcs they charge me 150$ shipping, and this is not heavy parts either.
So quit your whining. 30$ is not a whole lot for a 100% kick ass shirt !
Some will complain no matter what. International shipping is more expensive than local, but that should be expected since I'm located in Canada.
Please take a minute to register :) http://www.3dgameman.com/user/register
I would get a shirt, but I don't like either of these designes. I voted for 3(/4) designes: The no-removable-motherboard-tra WITH the drawn case; the 100%-kickass with NO arrow at all; the 3dgamemanlogo with the headset and just the 3d gamemanlogo on the front.
I actually don't like either of the two offered designes. I also would prefert the 3dgameman logo under the well known phrase but that's a minor issue.
Sorry you don't like either. Let's hope that this trial goes well and if it does, I'll do it again with different t-shirt designs.
Yep, I'll hope for that as well. I really would like to have that drawn-case-no-removable-motherboard-tray shirt :-)
Rodney, How much time will take the ssiping to arrive to P.R. Thanks I really wants one
It's going to take a while, considering that I'm giving everyone until the end of Oct to pay. Then after that I will get them make and then ship them out. Could take a month or more, so please be patient.
hmmm....the t-shirt shipping makes them unattractive...sorry

A TEXAS-SIZED CHEER to chess whiz Vanita Young, who just nabbed herself a $40,000 scholarship to Texas Tech University, following her brilliant performance at this week's Susan Polgar Girls' Invitational in Lubbock, Texas.
GO, Vanita!
Readers of my column will recall that I wrote in June how Vanita, a rising senior at the Walter D. Palmer Charter School, near 6th and Poplar streets, beat out 600 other girls from Pennsylvania to represent the state at the annual invitational, named for Polgar, the world's first female chess grand master.
Up for grabs was $120,000 in scholarships to the three top winners of the five-day competition.

Q. I have lost the toolbar at the bottom of the screen that has the Windows flag, time, etc. How can I get that back?
A. This toolbar is known as the Windows Taskbar and it can be customized in a number of ways.
You can resize it by clicking the top edge and holding the left mouse button and pulling it up. This is helpful if you have a lot of applications open and you want to see all of their corresponding Taskbar icons.
You can also move it to the top or the side of your screen by clicking inside of it and holding the left mouse button and pulling it to the any edge of your display. Some computer users find having the Taskbar to one side or the other or even across the top of their screen is a better option for how they use their PC.
You can also hide it by right-clicking it, selecting Properties and checking the box that says Auto-hide the taskbar. This gets the Taskbar out of the way when not in use and frees up valuable desktop real estate.
If you are not seeing the Taskbar at all, then I would suspect that you, or someone else who uses this computer, has enabled the auto-hide option.
When the Taskbar is set to auto-hide it vanishes off the screen after a few seconds if is is not accessed. You can bring it back by moving your mouse to the edge of the screen where the Taskbar is normally found and it will pop back up, allowing you to access it. Once you are done using it, the Taskbar will hide itself again.
If you are having trouble getting the Taskbar to reveal itself you can press the CTRL and the ESC key simultaneously. If you want to turn off this feature just go into the properties as I described above and uncheck Auto-hide the taskbar.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Three weeks before the NFL draft, there are still unanswered questions about the top quarterback prospects.
What is Johnny Manziel's best score in "Words With Friends" anyway? If we only knew where Blake Bortles bows out in the easy-to-impossibly hard "Sudoku" puzzle books. How late into the week of New York Times crosswords before Teddy Bridgewater turns to Google?
Tuesday? OK, I guess. Sunday? Sunday is impressive. Sunday means he's passing up an interview with NASA to pursue the NFL.
And, oh, yeah, the other unanswered question: Can any of them outplay Brian Hoyer?
Three weeks to go, and the opinions on the quarterback elite are widening, not narrowing. That should help convince the Browns that picking one at No. 4 – even though the financial investment isn't nearly as large as it once was – is still too much to risk. Why? Merely because it could cost you a great talent at another position.
Manziel, who is expected to work out for the Browns this weekend, is a sexy pick. You get the impression that many fans weary of the dull gray of Browns football since 1999 see Manziel through a kaleidoscope. He's got "it." Whatever "it" is, or however "it" translates from college to the pros once "it" is squashed underneath Haloti Ngata.
He makes big plays in big games. His hands? They're big, too. Now comes "news" that he scored a 32 on the Wonderlic, the highest score among the top QBs.
Based on Wonderlic scores alone, of course, Ryan Fitzpatrick's 48 out of 50 would put him in the Hall of Fame. The average for a QB: 24. On the field, in a brain-to-brain matchup you'd take Terry Bradshaw (16), Jim Kelly (16) and Dan Marino (15) over Fitzpatrick's 48.
Goes without saying you'd bet Ben Roethlisberger's 25, too, and give the 23 points.
Mel Kiper and Ron Jaworski ranked their top five QBs for ESPN Tuesday: Kiper went with Bridgewater, Bortles, Manziel, Derek Carr and Joey Garoppolo. Jaworski, a former Super Bowl quarterback, went Bortles, Zach Mettenberger, Manziel, Bridgewater and Carr.
One guy's No. 1 is another's No. 4. A wild card appears in each Top 5. That's scary. That suggests to me more depth than singular excellence at the position and good reason to revisit the quarterback board with the second No. 1 pick at the earliest.
Another voice was heard this week (and no, it wasn't one of Frank Caliendo's).
This one belonging to alleged quarterback guru Mike Holmgren, who apparently has not been asked to re-take his proficiency "guru" test in the wake of his time in Cleveland.
"You've got to take one," Holmgren told Peter King of The MMBQ about the quarterback crop. "You've got to, unfortunately."
How's that for a rallying cry?
Holmgren's point is well understood when he says that "somebody in that group can play." Probably more than one. But his two greatest quarterback success stories – Brett Favre in Green Bay and Matt Haselbeck in Seattle – came via trade. When he applied his "take a QB in every draft if necessary" strategy here, he ended up with Colt McCoy and Brandon Weeden.
You know how that worked out.
"You list them, you evaluate them, you discuss them as a scouting and coaching group and you pick one," Holmgren told King. "Now – and this is very, very important – once he's with you, you never, ever let anyone believe he's not the right guy, not the quarterback of the future."
No amount of pep talks, in the building, or in the public, was going to turn Weeden into a quarterback who saw the field and got rid of the ball.
I'm sure Jacksonville followed Holmgren's strategy when it listed the quarterbacks in 2011, evaluated them, discussed them and chose Blaine Gabbert at No. 10. Same with the Vikings and Christian Ponder when they took him No. 12. Especially so when Tennessee grabbed Jake Locker at No. 8.
This quarterback draft looks like that quarterback draft (after Cam Newton).
The Browns could use a quarterback obviously. What they can't afford to do is over reach.

Again steam release is not an original version it's custom for some reason ^.^ so trainer isn't starting.
Sent both Dx9 and dx11 exe's in, hope it's not too premptive of me. I couldn't find any readme's or manuals or files showing any version numbers and the exe's don't really show either, they only have the companies email address for reality pump ^.^
Edit: silly me it's version 1.2 in the game menu, if the original is version 1.2, steam did something that the trainer didn't like, all were running in admin mode, and the usual troubleshootings.

... so long as we can say "Ya waratha ab ram ya bare ab wara." Even if nobody understands you. And for a French intellectual, it's more than your job's worth to be understood. From The Times:
Like learning foreign tongues? Then why not try your hand at Dritok, Nunihongo, Kélen or Megdevi? Or maybe you'd prefer to translate the Bible into Lojban or to stand on stage to pronounce theatre's most celebrated line: "taH pagh taHbe".
You won't recognise any of the above, however eminent a linguist you are, as they are all invented languages. Some are spoken only by one person — their inventor. Others may be practised by a small circle of adepts, such as the Star Trek fans who translated Hamlet into Klingon, the tongue used by Captain Kirk's enemies (see above — in case you were wondering).
The people behind these strange tongues call themselves conlangers — as in someone who constructs a language — and their world, though still obscure, is nevertheless having something of a moment. It would be easy to dismiss conlanging as the ultimate nerdy pursuit, the intellectual equivalent of building ships with matchsticks. But conlangers would prefer us to look upon what they do as cutting-edge art.
Frédéric Werst is a French lycée teacher who lives on his own on the Left Bank in Paris and is the author of the greatest work ever written in Wardwesân. Indeed, he is the author of the only work ever written in Wardwesân.
His book is an anthology of poems, essays, tales and prayers left by a fictional people (the Wards) who lived in a fictional kingdom (Aghâr) and spoke a fictional language and it is also a rarity: a conlang book that has been published by mainstream publishers.
I meet Werst — a fictional name, of course, and he is reluctant to reveal his true identity — on a cold, grey day in Paris. With newspapers full of gloomy headlines about the future of France, you can understand why Werst wanted to escape to Aghâr.
But why did he bother creating a language that bears no relation to existing languages and that none of his readers can comprehend?
"It makes it more real and multiplies the strangeness," he says. "This way you get the illusion that this is another civilisation."
There are other advantages to language creation, Werst says. He doesn't like the letter c, for example, so it doesn't exist in Wardwesân. He prefers the w and z, which both abound. Y, e and n made a sound pleasing to his ears, so he put them together and decided that yen would mean tree.
His grammar also bears witness to his personal tastes, especially to his love of freedom. There are several ways of turning a singular noun into a plural. You can add a prefix — karz (child) becomes alkarz (children); a suffix — rame (sister) becomes rameth; or an accent — bex (pilot) becomes béx (pilots). The system is altogether much more imaginative than the overused s of English — a language that along with French, Italian and German has been bled dry by centuries of exploitation by writers of talents large and small, or so Werst says. "It's certainly possible to write something original in these great literary languages, but in practice few people do these days," he says. "I have the intuition that they are worn out."
Hence the need for renewal through new languages such as Wardwesân.
Werst looks every inch the Parisian intellectual, dragging on cigarettes and sipping tea, dressed in a dark coat and grey-blue scarf wrapped tight around his neck. While some US conlangers use their languages for day-to-day use, Werst has a typically lofty French vision of his work. It is a literary tongue, he says, and you would never catch him singing it in the shower. Indeed, apart from the odd note to a friend, he uses it only for his books.
Many conlangers get bored or distracted and let the project drop after a few months. After all, language creation without the aid of a software programme — Werst is appalled at the suggestion that he might have used one — is a phenomenally difficult task. It requires determination, concentration and rigour on an unnerving scale. He describes the project as "torture".
Yet he pressed on, taking four years to produce Wardwesân and 20 years if you take into account previous unpublished versions. Not only did he complete the work — which was nathar (a triumph) in itself — but he had it published by Seuil, one of Europe's top publishers.
Even though there is a French translation running alongside the Wardwesân text, don't expect to see many people reading it on the beach this summer. But Werst hopes it will sell well enough to convince Seuil to publish a second volume. Astrid de Larminat, Le Figaro's literary critic, was impressed for one. "This is an absolutely extraordinary book without equivalent in the history of literature," she says. I could not contest Le Figaro's view of the work as unique — I've certainly never read anything like it, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it as leisure reading. Not unless you happen to be fascinated by death, a subject of major concern to the Wards.
Talk to the hand. Come back, Volapük - all is forgiven.

Net sales increased 37% to $4.13 billion in the first quarter, compared with $3.02 billion in first quarter 2007. Excluding the $0.18 billion favorable impact from year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates throughout the quarter, net sales grew 31% compared with first quarter 2007. Net income increased 30% to $143 million in the first quarter, compared with net income of $111 million in first quarter 2007.
Some interesting factoids picked out of Amazon.com's press release include:
"Our sales growth this quarter was driven by low prices and millions of in-stock items available for immediate shipment," said Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com. "We're grateful to our customers."
