Deadmau5's Free Miami Tickets Gone in Under a Minute, Everyone Upset
Photo by Danny Mahoney
The least surprising news of the day is that tickets to Deadmau5's free February 15 show at Ice Palace Studios were gone in about a minute.
A source confirms the 60-second sell-out time is right and that people were only allowed to request two tickets per account.
Still, there's bound to be unhappy people, Deadmau5's fanbase in Miami alone probably exceeds 4,000 -- let's not even talk about the tri-county metro area and fans willing to drive or fly in for the show.

A free event like this is a scalper's dream. At the cost of only the $1 processing fee (which is being donated to the Miami Children's Hospital), these Deadmau5 tickets can be sold at almost any price and still turn a profit.
But if you managed to get tix and are thinking of selling in order to pay your rent this month, there's a catch: StubHub, one of the biggest ticket resellers, is refusing to allow tickets to the Deadmau5 Miami show to be sold on their site. "Because this is a free concert we will not be offering tickets to this event," the site's reps say.
Naturally, when you want to get rid of something with little oversight, you turn to Craigslist. Dozens of tickets are available for purchase at about $100. (Way to ruin the spirit of the event, guys.) But alas, Space released a statement yesterday, saying scalped tickets would not be honored.
"Ice Palace does not accept tickets purchased from Stubhub or any other third-party ticketing vendor," Space wrote on Facebook. "When arriving at this event you must show photo id that matches the name on your tickets."
So you're screwed, scalpers. This could have probably been avoided if the non-scalping policy were common knowledge before tickets went on sale.

That being said, the most similar event of this magnitude was Arcade Fire's pair of secret shows last year and, from experience, this kind of check-and-balance system can be a morass if not executed properly. You are also going to have a lot of upset people at the door, which means security is going to have an awesome night being yelled at. Also, getting 4,000 people in quickly while checking IDs for proof of purchase can be a challenge. (We're not saying it will happen at the Deadmau5 event, but it's a fairly common occurrence when IDs are required.)
All we can say is if you did manage to get a ticket: arrive at Ice Palace early, so you aren't waiting in line in the middle of Deadmau5's set.
Oh, and like always, Mr. Joel Zimmerman is ranting about this whole ticket mess:
if you see people selling tickets for more than 1$, dont buy em. fuck those asshats.
— deadmau5 (@deadmau5) January 28, 2014
figure if scalpers dont sell tickets, and the venues open, but nobodies in there... we will obviously figure something out. Simple math.
— deadmau5 (@deadmau5) January 28, 2014
if you want to make money, go into narcotics or realestate. not 1$ tickets. fail.
— deadmau5 (@deadmau5) January 28, 2014
theyre checking IDs with tickets. so if you do plan on paying 100 bucks for a free show, you should probably know that youre not getting in.

do a free show in miami, they said. it will be easy, they said. fuckit, im just gunna let this train derail, show up and destroy the place.

Klaus, Philipp "Phil" and Maklan, Stan (2007) The role of brands in a service-dominated world. Journal of Brand Management, 15. pp. 115-122. ISSN 1350-231X

Long gone are the days where a brand was merely a logo or trademark that distinguished a company's products from those of competitors. The fastest-growing sectors of the modern economy are dominated by companies whose offer is complex and delivered in the context of long-term service partnerships. In such a service-dominated economy, we must re-conceptualise our notion of brand so that it provides the context in which such service-based marketing flourishes. The notion of services marketing is not new, and there is a rich literature about the notion of brand building through a series of service encounters, each one exceeding the expectations of customers, thereby building brand equity. For almost 20 years, these key moments of customer–company contact, the bricks and mortar of the service brand structure, have been measured by SERVQUAL, a battery of measures for assessing the quality of service delivered at any customer–company contact point. Drawing on emerging research at the Cranfield School of Management, the authors question the means by which we currently measure service quality on the basis that it fails to measure that which truly builds brands in a service-dominated world. The authors offer the concept of Experience Quality, which incorporates service quality but extends to aspects of customer experience not related directly to service that we believe better predict consumer behaviour with respect to brands.

Spa treatments have long been seen as a great mode of relaxation, allowing people to relax and remove all stress while rejuvenating and rebalancing the mind, body and soul. While many may consider treatments to comprise of invigorating massages and facials, one of the most popular is Mud Therapy. If you're new to the Continue reading
Spa Treatments for Men
For men who are new to the spa environment, the range of treatments and facilities available may seem a little daunting. Many spas offer a wide range of treatments that are suitable for everyone, including massage, hydrotherapy and facials. However, there are a number of treatments that appeal particularly to men.
Foot Treatments
Whether you're in a profession where you need to be on your feet all day or your feet are training hard at the gym, a relaxing foot treatment is a wonderful sensory experience for your feet and very relaxing. There are plenty of health spas that offer spa treatments for men, including Titanic Spa, which offers the fabulous 'Sole Delight' foot treatment that can be included as part of a spa break in Yorkshire. This helps to soften hard skin on the heels and leave you and your feet feeling smooth and rejuvenated.
Skincare is important no matter what your lifestyle. If you work in an office, air conditioning can dry your skin out and make it cry out for a little rejuvenation. Working in a city or in an environment where there's a lot of dust and grime can also have an effect on your skin. Facial treatments thoroughly cleanse your skin and unclog all the dirt from your pores, and they can also reduce sensitivity that appears from shaving.
There's no beating around the bush here – waxing does hurt, but the pain is short-lived and leaves smooth, hairless skin for up to six weeks. There are waxing treatments for all body hair from top to bottom – literally! After waxing, hair grows back softer, smoother and even lighter than after you shave. So whether you want to try it just the once or as a long term solution to unruly body hair (as after around 4 years of waxing an area, hair ceases to grow), don't be shy and contact your local spa if you're interested in a treatment.
How to make the most of a massage
Massage is one of the most satisfying spa treatments there is but often people don't make the most of their session through either nerves or being underprepared. With a bit of preparation beforehand and the right attitude, however, a massage can be the most relaxing treatment out there. So, before booking your massage – whether full body or back pain relief – bear in mind these helpful hints and tips on how to get the most out of your massage.
The most important thing to remember during a massage is communication. All too often, massage clients are too nervous to tell their masseuse what they want out of their massage or whether it is causing them discomfort. A masseuse wants to make the massage experience as relaxing and beneficial as possible but can only do this with a bit of help from their client.
Before your next Yorkshire health spa massage, be sure to let the masseuse know of any allergies or health issues that could impact on the enjoyment of the massage process as oils, lotions and powders are often used and the massage may not be suitable if you are suffering from certain medical conditions. The masseuse will also be happy to hear what you want to get out of the massage, as well as personal preferences like music.
The other important thing to remember during a massage is to relax. People new to massage often become tense and nervous which can have adverse effects on the outcome of the massage. The more relaxed and open you are to the massage, the more beneficial it will be.
Finally, be sure to drink lots of water after your massage and to take it easy – it can sometimes take time for the effects of the massage to be fully absorbed.
Before booking your next massage session during a relaxing spa seekers break, be sure to note down your massage preferences for your next session.
What Alternative Therapy spa treatments are there?
There are plenty of treatments that guests can enjoy during a spa break, some of the most well known and popular being massages, facials and manicures. Alternative therapy treatments are available in many health spas, but the word 'alternative' may scare some people away. These treatments are based on ancient traditions and are great for relaxing the body and mind, so why not try one of these alternative treatments when visiting the spa?
Indian Head Massage
Also known as champissage, Indian Head Massage was brought into western culture in the 1970s and has since proven to be hugely popular. The face, neck and head are massaged to manipulate the energy channels within the body so that blockages are removed. It is believed that blockages build up negative energy in the body, causing stress, aches and pains, so removing these blockages can help calm the mind. Treatments tend to last around 40 minutes.
This Japanese technique promotes natural healing within the body to create balance and harmony in mind, body and spirit. It is relatively new as it was developed in 1922 by Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist, and involves using hand positions to energise the physical, mental, emotional and energetic levels of the body. A whole body treatment typically lasts for an hour.
Reflexology utilises pressure points on the feet to stimulate certain corresponding zones within the body as a whole and is a great treatment to try when next visiting a Yorkshire health spa. The practice of reflexology has been dated back to the Ancient Egyptians and has proven to be another popular treatment in the modern western world. A treatment will last around one hour.

Top exercise classes to try at a spa
People choose to enjoy a spa break for a number of reasons, including to rejuvenate the body, get pampered or just do something healthy. As well as enjoying one of the many treatments and spa facilities that a health spa can offer, some spas run a number of dance and exercise classes that can relax you and get the blood flowing.
Originating from ancient Indian spiritual, mental and physical practices, yoga became incredibly popular across the globe in the 1980s. Musculoskeletal, mental and breathing improvements have all been seen as benefits for yoga practitioners, combining development of core body strength and meditative breathing.
Tai Chi
The Chinese martial art is now practised around the world and essentially involves three aspects: health, meditation and martial art. Rather than being a martial art based on attacking, tai chi is self-defence combat that focuses on adapting to change created by outside forces. Movements are slow and fluid in tai chi, helping to relax both the body and mind.
Pilates is a comparatively modern exercise system compared to yoga and tai chi; it was developed in the 20th century by Joseph Pilates. A following quickly developed in the USA, UK and Germany, making it one of the most popular classes to enjoy at a Yorkshire spa. The focus of Pilates is on developing a strong core and aligning the spine and pelvis, and a workout will help build muscle strength and endurance across the body.
Circuit training can be very intense, and although it may not be as relaxing as other exercise classes, it does offer a variety of different exercises. A class would involve completing a series of different activities before starting the routine all over again. A circuit can be made up of any number of different activities, but some common ones include pull ups, medicine ball chest passes, stomach crunches, squat jumps and burpees.
Step & Tone
These classes involve following a choreographed routine that incorporates a small step. This workout combines cardio with toning, providing a good balance of fat burning and toning of the upper body, arms, legs, thighs and bum. As the choreography can sometimes be quite tricky to follow, many health spas offer classes for both beginners and advanced steppers.
Make the most of the sauna during a spa visit
When enjoying a spa break, there are certain features that are repeatedly favourites, such as a dip in the swimming pool, back massage or a few moments in the steam room. Saunas come high up the list for many spa fans and people all over the world now enjoy the intense heat that has made the Scandinavian tradition so popular.
Many saunas these days are made even more relaxing through the use of mood lighting, music and steam infusions, and some also offer treatments that you can rub into your skin and give the body a real treat. Here are some of the top treatments that you can have a go at in the sauna.
Honey is a very popular product to rub into your skin in a sauna and is a natural antibacterial agent. It is great skin toner and leaves skin soft to the touch and feeling nourished. It will also help increase the sweating and calorie burning effect which has helped make saunas so popular.
Infused Salt
Salt scrubs are often used as beauty treatments, and the sauna is no different. Salts can have a soothing effect on the senses and are proven to help promote skin which is fresh and clean. It exfoliates your skin and also improves blood circulation in the skin when you rub it in. Skin is left feeling silky soft and infusing the salt with various oils, such as coconut or mint, is both refreshing for the nose and moisturising on the skin.
Rubbing these treatments into your skin is sure to leave you feeling totally pampered and relaxed when visiting a spa in Yorkshire, and don't forget to wash off anything in the shower that you have rubbed in during your session and moisturise to combat dryness. A cold shower is highly recommended for the best blood circulation!

How to make the most of a spa as a pregnant woman
Being pregnant is a wonderful but tiring thing. It is also a busy time for soon-to-be mothers, but it is important to take time out to relax and be calm, and what better way to do this than with a spa break? Many spas offer wonderful treatments specially for pregnant women, but before going it is worth knowing what you should and shouldn't do when visiting a spa.
The best time to visit the spa is during the second trimester of pregnancy for a number of reasons: morning sickness should have ceased, energy levels are higher and the chances of early labour or miscarriage are low. Between 12 weeks and 32 weeks is best practise.
Heat treatments should be avoided as these can affect the circulation of blood and nutrients to the growing baby, so it is advisable to stay away from saunas, Jacuzzis, tanning beds and steam rooms. Once these general rules have been taken into consideration, there are a number of great treatments that are particularly suited to pregnancy.
A massage can be a wonderful method to ease sore hips, an aching back and stiff shoulders that are related with pregnancy. A good masseuse will have massaged pregnant women before and will avoid sensitive areas, provide plenty of padding and pillows to make guests comfortable and will tailor the massage to whatever the stage of pregnancy is. Some treatments can also help reduce the signs of stretch marks.
Skin will be more sensitive during pregnancy so it is a good idea to carry out a patch test in advance, but most facials can be adapted for pregnant women. They are great for relaxing and treating the skin.
It is advisable to steer clear of being regularly exposed to certain chemicals in nail varnish, particularly toluene and formaldehyde, but having nails filed and having hands and feet moisturised is a treat that pregnant women can really enjoy.
Before booking one of these excellent treatments at a spa in Yorkshire whilst pregnant, you should first speak to your midwife or GP.

Three ways to combat back pain
Back pain can be incredibly painful, so bad in some cases that it can stop you from doing day to day tasks around the home. Despite the much reported problems that back pain can cause, it is such an easy issue to alleviate. Here are three simple ways in which you can help keep the complaints of a bad back at bay.
Keeping good posture
With many of us now working in offices, we find ourselves having to sit down for many hours a day in order to earn our pay packets. It is important in this case to keep a good posture, as slouching or sitting awkwardly can have a massive effect on your back. To maintain a good posture, keep your back straight while having both feet flat on the floor.
Eat more Broccoli
It might seem like a completely ludicrous suggestion, but Japanese researchers have found that Broccoli, along with other leafy greens, contains Vitamin K – just as important as Calcium to develop strong bones. Of course, the stronger your bones are, the less likely you are to have problems with your vertebrae.
Purchase a mobility aid
If the beginnings of back pain have already begun to settle in, rise and recliner chairs are a fantastic way to combat against it and keep it away. With the settings of the chairs being operated through an electric motor, it means that the user puts a limited strain on their lumbar region. They can also be completely customised, meaning they can be completely suited to your taste or to fit into a colour scheme within their home. adjustable beds are also good tools, raising you out of bed to once again take the strain off your back.
Sheffield singing sensation celebrates 100th birthday
A man from Sheffield celebrated his 100th birthday last week, and having been a familiar face on the club scene for many years of his life, Joseph Trigg's birthday party was the best party in town. Starting the day off looking his best with a soak in walk in baths and special birthday T-shirt, the home where he has spent many happy years was packed full of friends and family to celebrate the big day.
Jospeh made a name for himself as a performer in venues across Sheffield, singing and dancing his way into the hearts of club-goers everywhere with his rendition of the Woody Woodpecker song. To commemorate his successful career, his family organised for an entertainer to come along and perform some of the great tunes that Joseph would have sung during his time on the stages of Sheffield.
90-year-old continues to visit Sheffield's prison cells
A 91-year-old woman recently found herself being praised in The Guardian after a journalist heard of how she is still continuing to help the community. Vera Miles has spent the last 21 years volunteering as an independent custody visitor and even now remains in charge of 14 other volunteers.
Suspects who are held in custody in police cells are paid a visit by independent custody visitors, people who arrive unannounced at police stations to make sure that the welfare of detainees is looked after.
Although Vera undertakes the visits only a couple of times a month, she instead plays a more crucial role in organising the visits of the other volunteers, including drawing up a rota, dealing with problems that her team bring up and makes sure that the volunteers are fully briefed on what they need to be checking.

Genting Falls as Profit Drops 44 Percent: Singapore Mover
Genting Singapore Plc (GENS), one of two companies licensed to run casinos in the city state, dropped the most in three years after reporting first-quarter profit plummeted 44 percent.
Genting slid plunged 7.8 percent to S$1.485 at the close in Singapore, the biggest decliner on the Singapore benchmark Straits Times Index, which slid 1 percent.
"Given earnings volatility and low yield, Genting Singapore's valuation remains less attractive compared to Macau peers," Aun-Ling Chia, an analyst at Deutsche Bank AG in Kuala Lumpur, wrote in a note to clients published today. The brokerage kept its hold rating on the stock with a share-price forecast of S$1.38.
Genting, which operates the Universal Studios theme park in Singapore, said yesterday profit fell to S$115.9 million ($94 million) in the three months ended March, compared with S$205.5 million a year earlier. Gaming revenue dropped 20 percent to S$521.2 million during the period, surpassing the 8.7 percent decline for rival Marina Bay Sands's casino revenue to $640.2 million.
OCBC Investment Research cut its rating on the stock to sell from hold. "Genting Singapore has now turned more cautious for the rest of the year, citing a more uncertain global economic outlook, especially with the recent muted economic data coming out of China," analyst Carey Wong wrote in a note.
Of the 23 brokerages covering Genting, nine recommend selling the stock, nine recommend buying it and five have hold ratings, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Who in thier right mind would want the key character in the text saying "The first shall be last and the last shall be first" or "Give all your belongings to the poor and follow me", Or maybe "love your enimies as your self". There was no conspiracy to make the church more powerful because of this process. It was to point to Christ. The resulting text that came from the council proves that time and time again.
Not only that but they had strict guidelines to that process. Time of authorship, verifiable information, age and condition of manuscripts, and, personally, I'm have faith that they were called by God to do so and sought his discernment in the process.

Where I stayed
This lil blog entry is coming direct from Perth Airport! Just arrived and thought we'd briefly update all you avid readers of the blog with what happened in Singapore!
But before we get to that, let's take it back a step or two...So when we last left you, we were heading out for Sangsom Buckets and good craic! And both were had. Although just to warn all you...drinking through a straw from a sandbucket will have drunken consequences...it's not cool and it's not classy! But then neither are we!!
Ended up talking God only knows what to Mick round in Our Bar and stumbled home to find we had a lodger / intruder in our prison cell. Just as we turned on the light this humungus crocodile family creature (ok, ok...a gecko) was running down the wall and went under the bed
Sunday 27th January
So with slight hangovers (but not the God awful ones we were fearing) we got up at 2pm and hit the beach for the last day of serious sunbathing. About 1/2 hour into the tanning session, skies opened once again and we had to flip flop ourselves down the beach to the nearest shelter. Sunbathing over, we hit starbucks and spent most of our remaining money.
Sunday night was our "usual" favourite..dinner on the beach and then a Cheerio drink at Micks. Early enough night.
Monday 28th January
Basically a boring enough day like always when you are travelling
So now finished with Thailand we can conclude....
It's been interesting...especially sitting back and people watching!
Old fat Western Men + Skinny Thai Girl = Love's Young Dream!! (Yeah...More like = $$)
Thai people on the most part are not the friendliest bunch of people...unless you're a man!
Sex sells!
So if this type of thing is right up your alley I believe British Airways have a special on at the moment!! On a more serious note, we did enjoy Thailand and we are certainly glad we've got to experience it
Onto Singapore...
Flight to Singapore was only 1.30 hrs so all went smoothly and we arrived alive and kicking!
As usual, taxi ride to the hostel was eventful. Very friendly driver...pity he wasn't very smart! Drove round the same block about 20 times and couldn't find the hostel and wouldn't listen to us when we tried to tell him where to go! So 30 mins later, we finally got to the hostel, and what was it like...well as we're starting to become accustomed to..it was located slap-bang in the middle of the redlight district and was a dirty hole. Why us?! So 9pm at night we braved out for food. Don't know what the hell we ate...but we ate it! Scrambled back to hostel for a bit of refuge. We weren't tired at all and lights out are at 10pm so we were bored stiff and sat reading until the wee hours of the morning.
So picture the scene...now finally tired we decided to hit the sack...you just get settled into not-the-comfiest-of-beds and then you realise the air conditioning isn't working, no curtains on the windows, party outside with the hoe's still happening and MRT train whizzing past 50 yards away
Tuesday 29th January
Deciding to explore the city (and get out of the hostel) we got up early as we only had 2 days in Singapore. Got into the center and booked a few sightseeing tours to get the most out of our time. Managed to cover Little India, Chinatown, some of the 100 shopping malls they have and took a tour of the full city in The Duck, which is basically a boat shaped bus that transforms into a boat for a river tour as well
In the evening ventured over to Sentosa Island and saw the Songs of the Sea show on the Beach. It's basically a great light, water and fire show. After that we got dropped off at Bugis Village and had some food and a look about the upbeat area, wanting to make sure we were well and truly tired before we ventured back to the hostel in Geylang!
That night went slightly better as air con now fixed and we slept sound!
Wednesday 30th January
After a bit of a lie in we hit the city again to do a little more exploring. After a walk about the center we decided to hit Sentosa Island again for a luge ride, Skyride and a cable car ride. Definitely fun stuff! After that we made our way down to Clarke and Boat Quay for a river cruise and then sunset dinner in one of the many riverside cafes.
Thursday 31st January
Getting into bed at 12.30am we decided to set our alarms for 5.30 am to get to the airport to catch flight to Perth
Pleasantly suprised as the flight to Perth wasn't even 5 hours long and managed to catch 2 hours sleep! And here we are now....about to get a taxi to Nuala's apartment (Colm's sister who we're imposing on for the next 3 days!)
Tune in for the next episode friends!! Miss it...Miss Out!!
J&L - Conquering the world one step at a time!!
Definitely managed to cover all of the sights so although we recommend Singapore, we wouldn't want to stay anymore than the 2 full days here. People there are all very friendly and pleasant and apart from the redlight district, it's a beautiful city and we didn't find ourselves feeling nervous at any point. It was a very safe city and the best part is...they all speak English!!

Child critically hurt in southside bicycle crash
Indianapolis - The mother of a boy critically hurt in a bicycle accident has been located.
Metro police say the 12-year-old boy apparently rode his bicycle off the loading dock and struck his head at the Kmart at 2715 Madison Avenue around 5:30 p.m. Friday.
The child is in critical condition at Methodist Hospital and his mother is en route to the hospital. Police say she saw media reports of the accident after searching for her son for several hours and contacted police.
Emergency crews arrived to find the boy lying on the concrete behind the Kmart, "4-5 feet down off of a loading dock ditch area." A witness told police he was at his apartment beside the business, saw the boy ride his bicycle off the loading dock and flip over into the ditch and called 911.
Police say the juvenile was alone and neither officers nor EMS personnel could identify him. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition with head and face injuries.
Police do not believe the mother will face any charges.

Glossary of Terms
Beating Heart Surgery (Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery)
A term used to describe coronary artery bypass grafting surgery in which the heart is allowed to continue beating normally while the bypasses are being performed by the surgeon and the surgical team. In most heart surgeries, including coronary artery bypass surgery, the heart is supported with the heart-lung machine. The vast majority of heart operations require that the heart is stopped so that the surgery can be performed. In recent years, technology and techniques have been developed that allow some patients to have coronary artery bypass surgery performed without the need for heart-lung machine support. In these cases the patient's heart is not stopped, but is allowed to beat normally while the surgeon performs the required coronary artery bypasses. Not all patients are candidates for off-pump/beating heart coronary artery bypass surgery. The potential benefits of performing the surgery in this fashion are a quicker recovery, shorter hospital stay, and avoiding the potential physiological effects of being on the heart-lung machine.

Dr. Nev's Look and Learn Beginner Books: 3 Books on Colors, Days of…
by Nev Nickelz
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book does a good job of teaching more complex words and simple words at the same time. It gives pictures cues to help the reader figure out what sight words they are trying to read. Although the text almost seems like its talking to the reader, this isn't an unusual trait in easy readers. It would work well for younger children under two, but I do worry that an actual beginning reader would lose interest. The idea of building upon the next story is a cool idea, but it kind of over does it. Overall, I think it's an decent easy reader series, but there are probably better ones out there to use instead of this one or at least supplement it with.
3 Books on Colors, Days of the Week and Fun Words
(Picture Books For Young Children)
by Nev Nickelz
This delightful and educational e-book holds 3 different stories and areas of learning all in one convenient place. I was impressed with the visuals and great pictures and color choices throughout also the logical order with which each concept was presented. But, the clincher for me was when my 4 year old granddaughter took my kindle and was able to understand and follow along with the blessed tales herself. After she went through it once, she promptly decided to read it again. I would recommend this precious labor of love to those looking for new and innovative ways to help our little minds learn. Thanks Dr. Nev. my little granddaughter thanks you too.
Love & Light,
Riki Frahmann

In February, when the military released its budget for the upcoming fiscal year, the Air Force said it planned to spend $4.6 billion on cyber security. Which was a little bit odd, since the Pentagon said it only planned to spend $2.3 billion for the entire Defense Department — the Air Force, the Navy, the Army, everyone.
And so begins a look by Nextgov into the migraine-inducing, Borges-esque world of dot-mil defense spending. The Air Force asking for twice the money as the armed forces overall? Just one of the many head-scratchers uncovered in the Pentagon's network defense ledgers. At this point, the services can't even agree on what's "cyber security," what's plain ol' IT infrastructure, and what's… something else. (Thus the giant discrepancy between the Air Force's figures and the Pentagon's.)
"When people can't even agree about the most basic terminology, you know there is going to be a lot of confusion," quips one Brookings Institution non-resident fellow. "The chances there aren't billions of dollars in redundancies are slim to none, and slim is out of town."
Speaking of bureaucracy and confusion: How are we all feeling about this org chart for U.S. Cyber Command, above?

Pakistani food comes from a faraway land, just like the fabled Pegasus or anything made of plastic. Take a tasty trip with this Groupon.
$9 for $18 Worth of Pakistani Food and Drinks for Two
Lunchtime crowds clamor for a menu includes dishes such as chana masala, chickpeas with tomatoes and onions ($6); daal masoor, spiced red lentils ($6); and chicken masala made with halal chicken ($8). The restaurant serves from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday–Friday.
Shah Jee's
Shah Jee's has dished out warming Pakistani food for more than 16 years. Whole-wheat roti flatbread scoops up sauces from chana masala and saag paneer, both of which are vegetarian and seasoned with spice blends from Pakistan. Daal masoor mingles red lentils with garlic, herbs, and spices, and chicken masala highlights halal meat that's been simmered with tomatoes and onions until tender. The chefs also whip up daily specials, many of which are vegan, vegetarian, or prone to blushing when called special.

It is like chosing a spouse. Some are perfect some are not, maybe perfect is not for you.
Check on These Factors
01. Regulation by financial authority
02. Fast Deposit and Withdrawals (better if local)
03. Tight Spreads
04. Enough Leverage
05. Multiple Trading Platforms
06. 24*7 Support in Your Preferred Language
i see it right. we must choose the good broker . it will help us protect our fund
"IMPORTANT" is different for different traders. Some prefer quick withdrawals, some prefer low spreads, fast execution... they all need to be regulated. So for me 1st the broker needs to be legitimate enough, have been around for a few years, legitimate address and phone number, low spreads and offer ecn acc
[QUOTE=Exness Support;622145]Check on These Factors
I think this item must be at least second in this list.
Last edited by aneah; 04-22-2014 at 08:08 AM.
I totally agree with you Exness Support. These all factors are really important to choose a perfect broker.
Keep it up. Good luck.
When it comes to broker selection I always focus on these points:
Internet feedback;
Fpa Scam Folder
Personal tests
Legal documents (client ToS)
Withdrawal options and speed.
Currently I test Hotforex, they have several legal agreements, still can't sort it out. We can't underrate its importance, if something wrong burst support always address to their docs, that's why be serious after that..
I checked what everyone says and i also agree. I also bump in to this question before and most of i found was almost same. Must be regulated, easy to use deposit and withdrawal, tight spreads, etc... and most of i found was they advice you to go with big companies and when i search it, you will also find a lot of negative things that makes your decision much confusing. With that in my experience, i figured why don't i just try it. i started with the one that my friend was using. But luckily, i was satisfied with the broker even it was small, young and not popular broker. My point is that even the broker has a good service and reputation, you will never find out if they are right to you unless you try it.

Chrysler holdouts face a bit of a backlashDavid Welch
It was just a handful of firms who pushed Chrysler into bankruptcy. And they may feel the wrath of politicians whose states rely on Chrysler for jobs. A few firms refused the Treasury Department's offer of $2.25 billion for the $6.9 billion Chrysler owed them. While most of the creditors agreed to take the cram down, the hold outs were enough to push Chrysler into bankruptcy.
Michigan's politicians are moving to lock them out of any business dealings in the state. The State's House of Representatives issued a statement asking the state not to do business with Oppenheimer Funds, Perella Weinberg Partners' Xerion Capital Fund and Stairway Capital Management, according to a Reuters report. Michigan's House of Representatives even asked neighboring states Indian and Ohio to join in and divest any holdings with those firms.
Will it have much of an impact? Probably not. Michigan doesn't even have pension money with those firms. And outside the industrial Midwest, it's easy enough to find taxpayers who are angry over bailouts for banks and carmakers but also blame Wall Street for the economic woes the nation faces. But there are seeds of a backlash. One CNN anchor was trying to find out names of the holdouts to list them onscreen yesterday. Now that the firms have been identified, we'll see whether the public is more angry with Wall Street or Detroit, which has is own image problems to solve

Our Governor signed the Katrina Bill during the NRA convention in St. Louis last month.
Better late than never!
You know... That was such a grievous violation of civil rights that Ray Nagan and Ed Compass really should be doing prison time over it!
If what they did, had been perceived as a "hate crime" perpetrated against the gay or black community, they WOULD be in prison! No doubt in my mind. The ACLU, The Reverend Brothers Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton would have demanded it. And the courts would have bent to their wishes.
But it has to do with guns, and guns get such a bad wrap. The NRA fights in court, and wins... People are scolded, new laws are passed to prevent it in the future, but NO One Goes to Prison! That is wrong!

"Every Windows Phone Series 7 phone is a Zune HD" declared Ballmer with great joy and he's right. Full Zune HD features and functionality have made it across so while the iPhone effectively has an iPod touch inside, the same can now be said of WPS7 and the Zune HD. When plugged into a PC, Windows also recognises, syncs and allows dragging and dropping of files to and from the device. And yes, it can be synced to more than one PC while newly added, most played and playback histories all sync between PC and handset.
Here's something to get excited about: Xbox 360 Live functionality is natively built into WPS7 and you can access and update your Avatar and search for friends and their recent activity. Games you play on WPS7 will also affect your gamer score on Live. Similarly achievements you gain on one platform can be used to unlock content on the other.
We await hard details of specific titles, but the specific hardware requirements for WPS7 handsets and four point multi-touch (the iPhone is limited to two) suggest a uniformity for developers to come up with some top notch content.
Like the contacts aggregation this will merge newly added Facebook and Windows Live photos and your contacts can also be checked here to see what are the latest photos they have uploaded. These can be viewed directly on WPS7 and comments posted directly on them to Facebook and Windows Live.
As you might expect this is massive with LG, Samsung, Garmin-Asus, Toshiba, Sony Ericsson, HTC, HP and Dell all confirmed to make devices come launch. On the network side Vodafone, Orange and T-Mobile are already signed up for the UK (expect O2 to follow soon after).
It isn't all smooth sailing. For a start there will be no Adobe Flash support at launch (yes, that old chestnut) though Microsoft does at least admit it is in talks with Adobe about putting it onto WPS7. Furthermore Microsoft was coy about how much editing and functionality will be built into the Office productivity suite, while there was no evidence of multi-tasking.
Apps developers could get a little concerned too about Microsoft's emphasis on converging functionality. Traditionally apps provide this individually, but the likes of handset wide Facebook integration and local business reviews could make some redundant. On the other hand, developers will benefit from a more fixed hardware experience so it isn't all bad news for them.
Lastly, the time frame for WPS7 is late 2010. Given both iPhone OS and Android will have launched major new versions by then this could provide Microsoft with substantial challenges before it is even ready.
Windows Phone Series 7 is certainly a far more thorough and daring rejuvenation of its mobile OS than we would have dreamed possible. It isn't without its flaws, but Microsoft is definitely back in the game and Apple and Google suddenly have a hungry new rival on their hands.

The support for this troopers family is unbelievable. Not only in Haywood County but WNC and South Carolina. I am confused by some of the other remarks made about Haywood County Police in other articles. The recent death of the Patterson boy and the article in yesterday's paper "Police have concerns over new drug." On one hand we are grief stricken that we lost one of our law officers and on the other remarks made about how they "beat people to death." The officers who gave the drug interviews were accused of justifying beating someone to death when I think they were just trying to get information out to the public. We need to decide people, are we going to give Haywood County law officers the support they need or bash them one day and love them the next? We need to be there everyday not just on the days we lose one.

The spectators along the route were amazing. I seen numbers of them holding the American flag while others gave a thumbs up and/or had their hand placed across their heart.
Unlike some other organized charity events which offer entertainment, food and bands at the end to draw riders, this one offered to the participates "NOTHING" but the opportunity to show their respect for a fallen HERO!!!
My wife and I will never forget this wonderful run and the chance to show our respect to a fallen LEO brother!!!
The organizers are still counting at this point, hopefully the amount will exceed $40,000

Should point out however that this was Not just Harley's in the ride. I saw several of the custom choppers,hondas, crotch rocket race bikes, and even some old vintage indians. Also while i am at it havent seen it mentioned that the mustang club was also there and brought funds to this event.

Duh huh, I love them all, and they're all to be commended for the money they raised for Trooper Blanton's wife and child. It's going to take a ton of money to pay for his son's heart surgery as well as all the days he's been in special care at the hospital. Insurance never pays for everything. A great bunch of people they are, all of them.

In addition to the medical costs, there are expenses not covered by insurance at all. What about gas for Mom's trips to the hospital? Probably a few meals on the run, too, among other things.
Thank you to all who participated, in any way.

I am the parent of a 17 year old NICU baby. My son was born 8 weeks premature and was in Asheville's Mission Hospital. When he was released 32 days later, my son's medical bills was $157,000 and he was "healthy" compared to Tye. The hospital and doctor bills will be beyond imgainable for most people. EVERY dime collected is appreciated!

The Blue Ridge Mustang Club of Asheville did come out for the event yesterday. Unfortunately there was also a car show that took place at the same time so we didn't have the strong showing I think most of us had hoped for. For me personally I'm so thankful we chose to go the ride instead because its something I know I will never forget. It really showed me what an awesome group of folks those bikers truely are.
I should also mention our club is hosting a Law Enforcement Appreciation Day at the Biltmore Square Mall on August 2nd. If anyone would like more info on that just go to our website,all the info is on there.

I have never had the pleasure of being amongst so many friendly, caring people as I had on Saturday. The riders were amazing, but so were all the spectators who were standing beside the road to wave and give thanks. It's amazing what people can do when they pull together. I have seen and heard a few snarky remarks here and there about the traffic problems and one person having the audacity to incinuate that Michaela doesn't need the money because Shawn had good insurance and she will get widow money.
To any of the killjoys out there - BUTT OUT. We didn't need your negativity. There are MANY more who love and care about this family, and we showed that on Saturday!!

I watched from Oteen Mickey D's parking lot. It was awesome at all the bikes that came through on Tunnel Rd.. Right as I was ready to head toward the Asheville Mall to do my usual people gawking, another batch of bikes came through. They must of sent them out in two different batches.
United States
#16 Jul 13, 2008
It wasnt that we were sent out in batches I dont think. I was near the tail end of the first "batch" and had noticed some had fallen back as traffic started mingling in from side streets. Numerous times we even had to change lanes to get around the cars at the redlights as we were being waved on through by personell working the intersections.Just can't see why traffic couldn't wait a mere five minutes and we'd have been on through... just not going to let that ruin the day for me though .
United States
#17 Jul 13, 2008
Oh, I am sure it didn't. It just appeared to be split in two. It was 16 minutes for the first group to pass Mickey D's, didn't time the second group but they were as large if not larger.
United States
#18 Jul 13, 2008
My bad. 11 minutes for the first batch to come through. Read my watch wrong. Blurry, didn't have my el cheapo reading glasses on.
#19 Jul 14, 2008
I was in the ride on Saturday and can't even begin to express the feelings that came over me. I was brought to tears as we were riding and saw all the support. I work with officers and this death reminds me how quick things can go wrong. I wish the people I saw taking videos would post on you tube or something. I was closer to the front but either way I looked it was bikes as far as the eye could see. So if you have pics or videos please post. It was so mind blowing to be involved. Thanks for the show of love, respect, and support
#20 Jul 14, 2008
I truly can not believe some of the things some of the inhumane people have posted! Give me a break, it's not like she woke up and said hey I think I will become a widow today and on top of that have my first born in an inncubater fighting for his life!!! Get a clue at least there are people in this country who do still care and come together to help others in need. Just because he was a smart 24 yr old and got a good job with good benefits doesn't take away that a worthless piece of trash who was pulled over for something minor SHOT HIM TO DEATH!!!! which left a wife and newborn baby without his support. I read a comment somewhere else about all the financial assistance she could get from the government, HA HA HA!! she won't be able to I'm sure because her husband worked and had the benefits get your facts before you run off at the mouth- his death will be considered work comp and it will be 10 years before she sees any of that! Take your negativity to the crapper! didn't your mother tell you if you can't say anything nice don't say it at all!!!(and yes my mother told me but sometimes something just needs to be said when others are inappropriate!)

REAL WEAPONS FROM VIRTUAL WORLDS - Friday, 15 November 2013
War gamers are being offered a rare chance to handle real weapons from fantasy worlds – including those featured in best-selling games, Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty.
Join Royal Armouries' Curator of Firearms Jonathan Ferguson as he showcases weapons from the national collection and their roles in popular video games in the latest seminar at the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, next Saturday (November 23).
Jonathan said, "If you've ever wondered what it's like to hold these iconic weapons, this is your chance to find out. We will also deliver a presentation on the depiction of weapons and their use in video games over the years – and why they're so essential to so many titles in different genres."
Here Jonathan comments on some of the featured weapons from Royal Armouries' national collection. The name of the war game is indicated in brackets:
Two-handed sword, probably German, circa1400 ('Total War') – Some of the swords depicted in fantasy games are so large that you could barely lift them! We've chosen a more realistic example that, despite its size, weighs only 2.27kg (5lb 8oz).
Crossbow of Balestrino form, Italian, 17th century ('Assassin's Creed') – A real period miniature crossbow that Ezio would be proud to wear on his bracer. Concealable 'assassin's crossbows' like this were banned in Venice in 1545, and their possession was punishable by the removal of an offender's hands.
Heckler & Koch HK 416D carbine, German, 2005 ('Call of Duty') – A modern development of the AR15 assault rifle, originally produced in 1959. It has real-world resonance as the type used by US. Special Operations Forces in the 2011 operation to kill Osama Bin Laden.
IMI Desert Eagle pistol, Israeli, c1995 ('Tomb Raider') – This huge pistol has appeared in more video games than any other, taking a lead from its popularity in action movies. In reality, it is useless as a practical weapon, even if you're firing two at once!
The seminar runs from 10.30am to 4pm. Tickets are priced £30, available in advance either online or by calling 0113 220 1888. This event is suitable for adults only (18+).

Call of Duty: Black Ops PC Config Tweaks here. - Make some changes and it will improve your BO gameplay !
27. Recent Server Disconnecting error in PC CoD: Black Ops !
by Vrandas
Call of Duty: Black Ops Errors - Freezes, Crashes and Install problems.
So this is place to find answers on all your questions.
1. PC resources overload = heavy lag and/or stuttering. Constant FPS Drops and Lock Ups/Freezes.
Treyarch is working on this one. Still not solved completely.
The game needs some re-coding. Can be STEAM is using to much CPU. Or the connection between client and servers is somehow borked. But whatever it is... it need to be fixed.
- But you can try playing with Steam in Offline mode or just kill the STEAM process after start up.
- or Pull down the console and type: snd_restart or change your sound-device settings while on a server.
- or Open Console ( Tilde key ~ ), Type cl_maxpackets 100 and close.
- or Right click on Black Ops Multi in Steam games and Go Properties -> Updates -> Untick Enable steam cloud sync.
- or Delete the config_mp file(s) in the |steamapps|common|call of duty black ops|players folder
Official Activision fix reply :
Try downloading and installing DirectX 9.0c on your PC. It will not affect your DirectX 10/11, but it may assist with your issue as it installs DirectX files you may have. You can obtain DirectX from the following link:
Please note that this is a third party link that is not run by Activision. You may also have conflicting programs running in the background, shutdown your background programs using the following procedure:
Windows will have some programs pre loading without prompting you. You can use the system configuration utility in Windows XP and Windows Vista/7 to tell windows not to pre-load these background programs that can interfere with the game.
- 1. Go to your start button and select RUN and in the box labeled OPEN type MSCONFIG and press the OK button. (Windows Key + R brings up the box)
- 2. Click on the tab that reads SERVICES
- 3. Check the box that reads "Hide all Microsoft Services"
- 4. Click on the button that reads "DISABLE ALL"
- 5. Now click on the tab that reads START UP.
- 6. Click on the button the reads "DISABLE ALL" and press the OK button. Windows will prompt you to restart the system.
- 7. Once windows restarts then you may get a message that the SELECTIVE STARTUP has been used.
- 8. Just close the message box. Now try the game.
Please note that this method will shut down all background applications including your virus scanning software. If you wish to restore your background programs/services, you can select the "Enable All" option instead of the disable all option in the msconfig operation.
Make sure that you meet the minimum system requirements.
Make sure that you have the latest video and sound drivers from the manufacturer's website.
Download an improved Call of Duty: Black Ops FPS config file to improve your fps in multi-player. Just replace the one you have now with this one. Your Call of Duty: Black Ops config file is here > Steam|steamapps|common|call of duty black ops|players. (If you are on 64-bit windows, you will be looking for |Program Files (x86)|)
2. You downloaded CoD: Black Ops and in STEAM you get a "STEAM must be on to play" warning.
You can try: close STEAM and delete the clientregistry.blob file (C:|Program Files|Steam )and relaunch STEAM.
3. STEAM version of Call of Duty: Black Ops doesn't "unlock".
Restart STEAM.
4. Call of Duty: Black Ops SINGLE PLAYER freezes or lags.
- 1. Run Steam in Offline mode
- 2. Run Black Ops
- 3. When in the game CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to the Process Manager and turn off Steam.exe there.
5. STEAM stopped working.
It seems the STEAM servers cant handle the CoD: Black Ops release and their usual gameload from other games.
So it is STEAM; not you.
6. Call of Duty: Black Ops Black Screen.
Try running the game in your native desktop resolution.
7. Stuck at Fetching Stats.
Servers are to busy.
8. Stuck on Multi Player Launch.
Try running Single Player first.
9. Call of Duty Black Ops Crashes After Changing Resolution.
Needs to be patched by Treyarch.
10. Call of Duty Black Ops Game Crashes at Menu.
Try the following:
- Navigate to the following directory Steam|steamapps|common|call of duty black ops|players
- Rename config.cfg to configBAK.cfg
- Rename config_mp.cfg as well
Better to rename than deleting in case you may need those two files again later.
11. Cant bind NUMPAD in SP/MP Call of Duty Black Ops.
Turn off numpad when binding controls. Then turn back on once controls have been set.
12. Can't find Call of Duty Black Ops servers.
Disabled ICS (Internet Connection Sharing).
To Disable ICS :
- 1. Go to Network and Sharing Center.
- 2. On the top left side of the windows should be "Change Adapter Settings" Click on that.
- 3. Right click where your internet comes from (In this case a Wireless Network Connection). And select Properties.
- 4. Click the Sharing tab at the top, and untick all of the box's that are under the sharing tab.
The box's are listed as:
Allow other network users to connect through this computers Internet Connection.
Allow other network uses to control or disable the shared connection.
13. Corrupt file error
Verify the integrity of the game cache in Steam. Right click on Black Ops shortcut in Steam Library, go to Properties, then Local Files, then click Verify the Integrity of Game Cache.
14. Call of Duty: Black Ops ATI Graphics and Performance Issues Fix
If you are on an ATI video card, you may want to apply this ATI Catalyst Hotfix to resolve any graphic errors or low performance issues you come across.
15. Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer Port Forwarding
16. DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error
Go to C:|Program Files|Steam|steamapps|common|call of duty black ops|Redist DirectX and run DXSETUP.
Treyarch is working on this error.
17. Playing CoD Black Ops drops Internet Connection
Try lowering the Steam internet connection rate. Restart Steam after changing.
Can also help when having unstable in-server ping.
18. CoD Black Ops freezes in SP or MP
- Go to your installation directory, then the Zone folder, then Common folder. ie x:|Steam|steamapps|common|call of duty black ops|zone|Common
Delete the first seven files: code_post_gfx.FF code_post_gfx_mp.FF code_pre_gfx.FF code_pre_gfx_mp.FF common.FF common_mp.FF common_zombies.FF
Verify the game cache integrity on Steam to download fresh new copies of these files (and also checks against your other files).
19. In PC Call of Duty: Black Ops, as soon as you start multiplayer, there is HUGE lag.
The solution: click on "create a class" then the game will freeze for about 5 seconds and then no more main menu lag.
20. When you have more than 100 friends in you friends list Call of Duty: Black Ops will crash.
You click playercard > leaderboards > and then click on any option/gamemode your game freezes, crashes and makes an error message noise. You are forced to terminate the game.
No fix other than deleting friends. Need to be patched by Treyarch.
21. Default BO config assumes you are running multiple GPU cores on a single CPU. For most people, this is the other way around (multi-core CPU with a single-core GPU).
Here is the fix:
- 1) Your Call of Duty: Black Ops config file is here > Steam|steamapps|common|call of duty black ops|players
- (If you are on 64-bit windows, you will be looking for |Program Files (x86)|)
- 2) Open config_mp.cfg in Notepad or Wordpad (I reccomend navigating to this file from notepad's "Open" dialogue, making sure to change the dropdown from "Open *.txt files" to "Open all files *.*")
- 3) ctrl+F to open the "Find" dialogue
- 4) Search for "r_multiGpu"
- 5) If r_multiGpu is set to 1, change it to 0, unless you have multiple GPU's
- 6) Search for r_multithreaded_device
- 7) If r_multithreaded_device is set to 0, change it to 1, unless you have a single core processor
22. Change default cl_maxpackets.
Your Call of Duty: Black Ops config file is here > Steam|steamapps|common|call of duty black ops|players
(If you are on 64-bit windows, you will be looking for |Program Files (x86)|)
- 1) Search for cl_maxpackets
- 2) Set cl_maxpackets to 100
- 3) If cl_maxpackets does not exist, enter this string at the end of the config:
- seta cl_maxpackets "100"
23. Change default sv_maxrate.
Your Call of Duty: Black Ops config file is here > Steam|steamapps|common|call of duty black ops|players
(If you are on 64-bit windows, you will be looking for |Program Files (x86)|)
- 1) Search for sv_maxrate
- 2) Set sv_maxrate to 25000
- 3) If sv_maxrate does not exist, enter this string at the end of the config:
- seta sv_maxrate "25000"
24. Make Config changes permanent. Doing this will lock your configuration, and we need to do this so COD:BO or Steam don't overwrite our changes.
- 1) Save and close config_mp.cfg
- 2) Right click the file and select "Properties".
- 3) Check "Read Only"
- NOTE: If you need to change any settings, any button binds, video settings, sound settings, clan tag,etc. ad nauseum, you will need to unlock your configuration file as this information is stored in the configuration file that we just made "Read only". THIS DOES NOT EFFECT CLASSES, KILLSTREAKS, OR CONTRACTS AS THESE ARE NOW HANDLED SERVER-SIDE.
25. WINDOWS VISTA AND WINDOWS 7 Registry has a setting that limits the amount of outbound packets being sent at any one time. Vista/7 caps network traffic at 10 packets per second, which is much lower than the 100 we desire from cl_maxpackets.
Here's how to remove that cap:
- 1) Hold the windows key and press the " r " key. This will bring up a run dialogue
- 2) Type "regedit.exe" in to the run dialogue, and open up the registry editing program by pressing "run" or hitting "enter"
- 3) Navigate through the folders to this address:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE|SOFTWARE|Microsoft|Windows NT|CurrentVersion|MultimediaSystem|Profile
- 4) Right click on the file "NetworkThrottlingIndex"
- 5) Change the value from 10 (or whatever it currently is) to "FFFFFFFF" in hexadecimal
- 6) Restart your computer
26. Call of Duty: Black Ops Rank issues
- Change one perk in each of your classes. (do not set classes to Default).
- Exit the game.
- Wait 30 minutes.
- Start the game and check your rank.
27. Recent Server Disconnecting error in PC CoD: Black Ops !
If your error is not in the above CoD Black Ops list you can try our Modern warfare 2 - PC Version - Errors and Solutions page.
If you find a solution for your problem in the MW2 list we like to hear about it. And you can do that here.

I finally came up with an quilting idea I'm completely happy with and will be able to complete before Christmas rolls around. Yay!
I wish you all the luck you need to get it done. I know I wouldn't be anywhere close.
Happy quilting!
Way to go FVG!! Glad you're out of your quilt slump :wink:
I think it's going to be fabulous!
I'm hoping I'll be able to get the stuff for it this week. I'm not quite sure if I'll be able to because we just started "evil weather season" (gotta love Wisconsin winter weather) and the roads can get real bad up here.
I'm thinking about using a high loft batting on this one to make it extra plushy. :D I think the little guy would like that 'cause I'm guessing for now the quilt would just be used for floor time (or when they're bundling him up for a trip in the car) so he'd probably like that extra fluffiness to lay on.
I'll bet he'll love it. My husband loves Buffalo plaid wood jackets and flannel shirts.
Where in Wisconsin are you? I'm in Duluth, MN. We got 12 inches of snow yesterday and last night. Heavy and rather slippery stuff. I'm glad it's done now because my DH is got tickets for a holiday tour of 8 B&Bs in town for this afternoon.
Looking good, FV. You may want to consider tying it with the exrea thick batting, if it's the stuff I'm thinking of.
Madame Zelda....
My first two quilts ever I quilted in the ditch and used extra high loft batting. What a chore that was!!! I'm hoping to thwart your plans before you drive yourself crazy. If the quilt is for a little person, I would forgo the quilting altogether and tie tack it with worsted weight yarn. If you cut the spare yarn to 1/4 " of the knot and run your hand over it it will fuzz out and the little one won't be able to chew it off. It's much more durable for a child's quilt to be tacked as it will be laundered often and you don't want your pretty stitches to come out. I wouldn't ever machine quilt using high loft batting....Just tooo thick.
Wow- what a vibrant and beautiful quilt!!!! Of course, I am a Chicago Bulls fan and just love that color combination. Way to go!!!
I'm in Black River Falls, WI. We got snow fall followed by freezing rain on Saturday. Almost thought Nick wasn't going to be able to come up (the weather in Rochester was about the same here), but thankfully the weather held up and the roads weren't too bad the next day. Besides having a wonderful two days while he was up, I got the stuff for the quilt and got my Christmas shopping done. :-)Quote:

And hey...I like a good challenge. How will I learn new quilting things if I play it safe?Quote:

What is the best height for a canopy? Is there a standard size? Are there any disadvantages to making a short canopy?
I have learned through poor planning that there is a way to gage what might be a good canopy height.
(1) is to know how much room you need to work in the tank. I need a good 10 inches to work under a canopy that is not rolled back or removed.
(2) is to design the Canopy to be 1/3 or so of the height of the stand. This sets up a proportional arraingement around the tank that is almost aesthetically pleasing.
I would try to build canopies as short as possible and as high as necessary.
Necessary meaning it needs to enclose bulbs and reflectors, and the front panel should cover any space above the water surface.
The type of lamps/reflectors often determines the minimum height.
I have a AHsupply's 55 an 13 watt bright kits. They don't need all that much clearence. I was origionally planning for it to be 6" high, but I would need to get a second birch 2'X4' for $12 more dollars. I really didn't want to have to spend that much more just to use a tiny little piece of it when I could just make it 4 3/4" and use the one piece. It sounds like that will work though. :D
I have a 55w AHSupply kit over my 20g long. The way it's mounted, it's about ~4"-" from the water surface. If I were to do it over, I'd make it higher, due to light spread. It's designed to be fully "openable" so thats not a factor.
Looks good though, ;) :
On the two canopies I made, I used 1x8" boards. The canopy comes down far enuf to totally cover the trim around the top of the tank, adn that leave about 3" between the glass tops, and my AH supply reflectors.
You could always use dowel rods as spacers to lower the lighting brackets if you feel you're losing intensity from the extra 3".
Well, the sides are a bit of an issue as the 55w kit just isn't wide enough for good coverage on the 20g long. If I plant stem plants on the sides, then they grow diagonal to the center.
Front to back is mainly the issue. These fixtures are good, but if not that high over the tank, then most of the light is focused in a narrow "band" down the center of the tank, IME. This is also due to the 20g long being quite shallow.
Would bending the reflector out a bit and flaten it a little possible help the problem, or just make it worse?
That would help a little bit as it increases the angle. But I think what DF refers to is the LENGTH of the kit, which doesn't cover the length of the tank, and there isn't much you can do about it.
I have right now a 4 inch tall canopy and I don't like it. Too tall for me, and it covers all the tank., and although it can be opened, I hate having such a big thing over it. I am going back to my cheap DIY lighting enclosure ( http://<a href="http://www.plantedta...php?t=7019 ), it was more comfortable to work with that. I have also made a second one, and will place it on the front to have complete lighting. They are so light that I can remove them quite easily if I need even more space to work than they already allow. There wasn't any problem about height and light dispersion (even if so, most high-light plants are on the middle to the rear, and crypts use most of the front).
But that's just what I like.

Well Dave, you must be a Democrat and counseled by Pete Stark - (MIA former absentee congressional representative)
Like Pete, I suspect that you've never seen our beautiful Birdland neighborhood where you claim you reside.
Dave, thanks for sharing -- Say hello to Pete for us, if you can ever find him.
