what do you think?
she is my first Gsd be gentle lol http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...40-jackpot.jpg
Just want to say that I think that she is beautiful. :wub:
So pretty!! Lucky you! Love her square stand
very very pretty:)
What a pretty girl! :wub:
love that coat, beautiful :)
How old?
she was about 6 months in this picture
She does have a very level lop line but I think it is the way she is holding her tail that makes her look so square in the stance. Very pretty girl!
Very feminine young female with normal withers, slightly soft back, good length of a slightly flat croup. Her very high tail set makes the croup look much flatter than it is. Very good angulation in front though her upper arm needs to be longer. Very good angulation in the rear. Good pasterns, cant see her feet. Very good color, dark mask, dark eyes. Her coat is in excellent condition. I would like to see a bit stronger muzzle, but she is quite young. Her head is a bit too foxy for me right now. Good set of ears and very nice alert expression.

Canal du Midi - Languedoc Barge Cruises
Barge cruises on the Canal du Midi sail through rolling countryside and canal-side vineyards - all under the dappled shade of plane trees lining the canal. The Canal du Midi, which connected the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, was completed in 1681. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this may be the most beautiful waterway in all of France.
This is the southernmost region of France and lies in the Mediterranean climate zone. The canal stretches from Toulouse at the far western end to the Mediterranean ports at the eastern end. It is easily reached from the eastern end through Montpellier – several TGV trains daily can you from Paris in four hours, as well as flights from Charles de Gaulle and Orly. The smaller towns of Beziers and Narbonne have excellent TGV service as well. Many guests combine a Canal du Midi barge cruise with several days in Provence.
The Canal du Midi, broken up into smaller sections for your six night cruise. Most of the itineraries take in the region between Beziers and Carcassonne, although some vessels extend to the Mediterranean.
Lined with trees and at times surrounded by small vineyards in this up and coming wine region, the canal and surrounding area have a real "holiday" feeling! Relax on deck and enjoy the sheer beauty around every turn - or walk into town for the local market. Bring the family on your barge cruise, and we'll take you and the kids to the beach! This is an extremely historic area, with many influences from the Romans, the Crusaders, and life of French royalty.
Carcassonne, largest walled Medieval fortress city extant in all of Europe. Narbonne, the farthermost outpost of the Roman empire and where you can view the Via Dominta, a road which linked this city to the rest of the territories. Taste wine in small, family-run vineyards from the up-and-coming wine region. The charming artisan village of Lagrasse. Olive oil factory and tasting.
The Canal du Midi is home to many small, family-run barges, where you will be welcomed warmly! We adore the Canal du Midi and have visited it many times, never failing to be charmed by this ancient and fascinating area. Tour the French Languedoc while cruising the Canal du Midi!

Steamboat Springs Yampa River tubers welcomed another warm afternoon Thursday, taking to the river in droves.
But as hot as it got on the water, things remained ice-cold at the nearby Howelsen Ice Arena. And there, too, area youth swarmed over everything.
The arena played host through the week to a summer ice hockey camp, with skaters ranging in age from 8 to 18 working up a sweat under the guidance of some of the area's best hockey minds.
"This is the best hockey instruction that's available in the Rocky Mountains," said Erik Blase, the Steamboat Springs Youth Hockey Association's director of hockey. "That's one of the big draws for the camp."
Blase said establishing a Steamboat-based hockey camp was one of his top priorities once he got the SSYHA job last fall. As the son of USA Hockey's director of coaching programs and a former manager of U.S. Olympic teams, Blase said he knew he had an inherent advantage when it came to lining up top instructors for his envisioned workshop.
In the team of coaches that rolled into Steamboat, he said he had everything he had hoped for.
Retired NHL veteran Jim Johnson led the group on Thursday, still concentrating on the basics four days into the camp.
"The main thing is try to provide a great skill development camp," said Johnson, who spent 13 years in the NHL. "We want to develop the base fundamental skills. If you can do that, the kids can have great success. They feel good about themselves and what they can accomplish.
"We've accomplished that. Some of these kids have great potential to be hockey players down the road."
His roll wasn't just to drill the hockey fundamentals into Steamboat's youth. Blase said another of the camp's goals was to teach the youth coaches proper drills and routines to craft sound skaters.
"This is probably more important for our coaches than the kids," Blase said. "The main purpose is to get kids on the ice, have them learning some new drills and skill development, but we're trying to change the focus of our coaching to more skill development, and it's the coaches that will carry that on and continue teaching it."
The camp was split into two sessions Thursday, the older group featuring 18 athletes. It wasn't quite the attendance Blase said he had hoped for, but it was a good place to start. He didn't try to expand the camp beyond local players in its first year, instead concentrating on attracting all interested Yampa Valley players.
In the future, Blase said he hopes for a more robust group, featuring players from across Colorado's mountain region.
"Next season, these kids will all be better off," Johnson said. "We're hoping to grow this in Steamboat Springs, so we're hoping this is just a start. Still, it's a pretty good turnout for the first year, and we think with word of mouth about how much these kids have developed, we can build on it."

It has been 17 days since I first installed my package bees into my TBH. I inspected the hive last week and was able to see the Queen, and lots of larvae that she had lain. Upon inspection today I was not able to spot the Queen. Bar#2 had 3 queen cells. Has my Queen died? I feel so let down right now like I did something wrong. I hope I didn't kill her.
They would not be building queen cells if she were still in the hive correct?
Any and all info/comments are appreciated.
Also, there was much more capped brood cells than when I checked last week, and it appears they are mostly drone brood cells.

Red Bulls refuse to blame travel delays for the loss
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- For the second week in a row, the Red Bulls' flight to the west coast was cancelled and they were forced to delay their trip by a day.
And for the second week in a row, the Red Bulls squandered a second-half lead. They say their 1-0 advantage turn into a 2-1 loss at the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday night.
The Red Bulls, however, refused to the flight delays as an excuse for their late-match woes.
"It's not fun to deal with, but it's no excuse," midfielder Dax McCarty said. "Every team has to fly across the country. Obviously we would prefer to get out here two days before the game and get acclimated a little bit. Everyone felt good. Good training session [Saturday]. Everyone got plenty of rest. The weather was perfect. The field was fantastic. It's no excuse."
Midfielder Eric Alexander, who scored the Red Bulls' lone goal, agreed.
"I don't think it was the travel that was the problem," he said. "I think it was our own fault. We had a couple of mistakes that cost the game. We just didn't close it."
The Red Bulls return home for their home opener against D.C. United on Saturday with only one point, although McCarty felt it should have been more.
"You look back and the flow of the games and you're thinking, 'Why we didn't leave these two road trips with at least four points, maybe six if we were a little bit better in Portland/' It's pretty mind blowing. But we can't panic two games into the season. We haven't played a home game yet.
"We can take some positives out of the performance. The last 10 minutes has just got to be better mentally."

New North Carolina Circle Hook Season Starts July 1
Contact: Patricia Smith
Date: June 25, 2009 Phone: (252) 726-7021
MOREHEAD CITY – A new seasonal requirement for using circle hooks in the Pamlico Sound and its tributaries starts Wednesday.
From July 1 to Sept. 30, fishermen must use circle hooks, short leaders and fixed weights when fishing between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. with natural bait using large hooks (greater than 4/0) in the Pamlico Sound and its tributaries.
The N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission adopted the rule in November in an effort to reduce post-release mortality in the recreational catch-and-release red drum fishery. Research has shown that the use of large or intermediate sized circle hooks, combined with a short leader and a fixed weight, reduces the incidence of deep hooking (gut hooking) in the red drum fishery.
The regulation was recommended in a N.C. Red Drum Fishery Management Plan.
For the purposes of this regulation, a circle hook is defined as a hook with the point of the hook directed perpendicularly back toward the shank and with the barb either compressed or removed. The fixed sinker should weigh at least 2 ounces and be secured within six inches of the circle hook.
The exact wording of the rule, with GPS coordinates, can be found on page 24 of the 2009 North Carolina Rules for Coastal Fishing Waters, which can be downloaded from the DMF Web site at http://www.ncfisheries.net/download/2009_MFC_Rulebook.pdf. An illustration of the appropriate circle hook tackle can be found at http://www.ncdmf.net/download/circlehookreddrum.pdf.
For more information about the requirement, contact DMF biologist Lee Paramore at (252) 473-5734 or email@example.com.

RONAN Keating is getting his life back on track after the collapse of his
14-year marriage.
Speaking on ITV1's Daybreak yesterday, the Boyzone star said he is "doing
well" since the split from his wife Yvonne, caused by his fling with a
backing dancer.
He said: "It's been a massive change in our lives but we're doing really well."
Ronan denied he stopped actor Colin Farrell joining Boyzone when the Irish
boyband first got together.
He added: "Why would Louis Walsh listen to me – I was 16.
"That's a bit of an odd story. I didn't even know Colin Farrell back then.
It's absolutely not true."

What techie mistake did you make?
My wife Posted her boobs on Facebook when they were suppose to come to me
I went to search for my ex-boyfriend and ended up putting it as my Facebook status mortifying!
I posted on someone's wall about getting my who-ha pierced instead of in a message
My friend thought Instagram was just a photo editing app, so she was posting all of these naked pictures of herself.
My brother in law was liking nude pages and amateur porn pages on facebook not realizing people could see what you have liked
A friend of mine meant to send a sexy picture of his private parts to his girlfriend but accidentally sent it to his boss because they had the same first name
Sent a dirty snapchat to my gf. Or so I thought. Sent it to my brothers gf by accident.
Sending a dirty text to the wrong person...
My boyfriend signed up for spotify and didn't realize it posts what you are listening to on Facebook by default. That day, he listened to the Frozen soundtrack all day long. His buddies and I have been making fun of him for weeks!
My parents pastor liked a skanky girl revealing picture on Fb. 90% sure she was a porn star!
I once meant to text my friend trash talk about a girl, but I ended up sending it to the girl who I was trash talking about..
I was setting an out of office auto reply on my outlook and wanted to test it. So I sent a test email to my personal email and the message was "I'm out of this s*** hole I'm never coming back." I was being funny with myself but somehow it ended up sending to all of my contacts instead of just my personal email so everybody, everybody I've ever emailed customers clients associates got this message
My cousin likes all these women on Facebook from a dating website. The women are incredibility unattractive and severely obese.
My sister got a pic of a wiener and she accidentally posted it add her profile picture haha!
I texted my naked boob accidentally to my relief society president. It was supposed to go to my hubby. Oops
My grandma doesn't understand Facebook and instead of sending a private message she asked on my wall how my OB appointment went!!

Comparison of Royal Plantation and Silver WhisperAuthor: Host DebbieH103 (More Trip Reviews by Host DebbieH103)
Date of Trip: June 2001
All suites have at least a large picture window, and there is a curtain that can be drawn between the sitting area and the living area. Eighty percent of suites have balconies. The balconies have two adjustable lounges and a small end table. Those suites have glass floor to ceiling. Te Silver Wind and Cloud have a smaller bathroom with shower incorporated in the tub and a single marble sink. The Silversea suites have a large walk-in closet with electronic safe. Ours had built-in shoe and tie rack and a chest of drawers. Thick terry robes are provided, as are slippers. The Silversea suites come with fruit, replenished as needed. Room service with no fees is available 24 hours, and during meal hours, you can also get the restaurant menu ensuite. They are always willing to set it up beautifully, and you can get dinner served course by course at no additional charge.
Public Areas
This is tough to compare in a resort with approximately 160 guests maximum vs. a ship with 382 guest maximum.
Royal Plantation has a lovely gathering spot, the Appleton lounge. Here, you can sit in air conditioned comfort and order from the extensive martini menu or any other premium drink you want or from the house wines. They have peanuts or sometimes mixed nuts (should be all the time!). You can sit in the cushy chairs or hang up at the bar with the bartenders and chat. Sometimes, there is a pianist there.
Royal Plantation has a nice game room with billiards, board games, a nice TV/DVD player and a small honor system library. As late as December, they had pay as you go internet there, but now the rooms all offer high speed internet, so I don't know if they kept this terminal or not.
Outside of the Appleton Lounge is the tea terrace. This is a lovely place. They have a nice tea time at 4 pm daily, included for even EP guests. They have scones, finger sandwiches, tarts, etc., along with a number of teas. You can always have sparkling wine or whatever else they offer. They usually have the manager's cocktail party on the tea terrace, and the mento band will play there. We've seen other entertainers here, also. Lots of people sit out here and just chat, relax, etc. during the day or evening.
The resort has a patio beyond the terrace where some people sit in the evening for cocktails or while the evening show is playing or just to rest and look at the pool or ocean. The pool and hot tub area is very nice. There is a two-level hot tub, one level flowing into the other. The pool may seem small, but it is large enough for the number of guests, you will never see more than 6 people there, and it was almost as large as the pool on Whisper, I think. It is the only heated pool in Jamaica, but they only heat it upon request. This came in handy a couple of times in December. They have a very nice drawing room with a grande piano. They use this sometimes for wedding receptions, repeat guest parties, tea with interesting local lecturers, and the like.
The gift shop offers local souvenirs and some nice things like scented candles, perfume, etc. They sell local rum and coffee and logo wear and beachwear. I'd like to see more jewelry and some other more upscale shopping offerings somewhere on the property. The gift shop doubles as the tour desk.
The concierge desk is off of the lobby and is a place where you can see the restaurant menus. You can make reservations if you desire. At the front desk, you can get a fax NY Times daily.
The spa and beauty salon offer a large variety of treatments, and they have extensive hours. It is fairly easy to get an appointment. They have lovely steam rooms and nice changing facilities. The services offered include hydrotherapy, and they have an emphasis on natural ingredients throughout the program. Service here is very good. They offer tea or water and will help you into the steam room, provide nice robes and slippers, lockers, etc.
The resort has a great conference center. We even got the GM to arrange an Easter service there a couple of years ago. The resort also has tennis courts lit for night play, and you can attend included lessons or engage the pro to play with you. There is a small fitness center with adequate equipment for the few guests that use it. If you want organized classes, you have the ability to go next door to Sandals Ocho Rios for some outstanding fitness classes that are offered a number of times each day. At Royal Plantation, they do have yoga on the pier, weather permitting.
Royal Plantation has two beaches, east and west. If you want a beach where you walk for miles, you will be disappointed, but at Royal, you will be offered mango mimosas in the morning, fruit will be brought around, you might get rose mist, and they will offer drink service at the beaches and the pool/hot tub.
You have to be down at one of the two piers at the property or one of the 3 rooms at the end of the west room block to see the sunset or out in the ocean. They are beautiful, but most already have gone to their room by then to get ready for dinner. You can see sunrise around most of the property part of the year, and at other times, it is too far east and behind things. When you do see it, it is over the water and very beautiful.
On the Whisper, there are a number of public areas besides the restaurants. They have self launderettes, which include the supplies needed. This is all complimentary. We did not use them on this 4 night trip but would likely use them even on a week-long cruise. On deck 5, they had a jewelry store and another boutique. These are not open while in port, so you have to make a conscious effort to go there when they are open. We did not do that, so I can only comment on what I saw through the window. It all looked inviting at least for a look. When I needed batteries, the concierge was able to get me some from her "stash" and charge to my room on a couple of minutes notice.
Deck 5 also has the casino. This also is not open when the ship is in port. We went there the two nights that the ship left port at 6. They have blackjack ($10 minimum), roulette ($2 minimum inside and $10 minimum outside) and a number of slots. We really enjoyed the table games tremendously. The nights we were there, everyone that wanted to play was able to get a spot. There were both high and low rollers there. They have a very nice small bar next to the casino, The Grappa, and the waitress there also services the tables in the casino. Also on 5 is the main bar. In the evenings, they have some of the entertainment there, even before dinner. The seating is very comfortable at tables or people can enjoy sitting up at the bar. They have some other things here, such as lectures and the main check-in.
The show lounge cascades down from deck 6 to deck 5 and has very nice chairs and tables. There isn't a bad seat there. They do have drink service there, but it isn't fast enough for the number of guests there, and in all 4 nights, we never got waited on, though most did. They have production shows here and also things like the lifeboat drill and check-out. On deck 7, there is a nice conference room and a nice card room. They had bridge get-togethers in the card room.
On deck 8, they have a nice library and internet center. They have about 6 internet machines or you can use your own wifi in a number of areas. They have VHS tapes that you can take right there on an honor basis, or you can get the DVD box and take it to reception. Also, daily, they have a soduko puzzle and crossword available here. They have chess and a group puzzle here. There are a number of books available and also scanned full versions of newspapers, not just the sample pages like hotels have. There were oceanviews from this room and plenty of places to sit. Deck 8 also had the panorama lounge. During the day, you can sit inside or outside and they have lots of places to sit. In the mornings, there is juice and pastries. During the day, there is full (elegant) bar service -- walk-up and get nuts and wait for drink or sit in your seat and let the lovely waitress bring drinks from the menu or whatever you ask for. If you order wine here, they explain what it is. This is the location of the afternoon tea, which features scones, pastries and sandwiches. In the evening, they have dancing to different types of music, even if something is going on in the bar lounge. This is a lovely room, and I bet many never discover it.
Deck 8 has the pool. The pool is salt-water. It will be empty when you board the ship and filled that evening. They have two hot tubs there that are also filled the first evening. They were perfect temperatures the whole trip. Service is offered at all of these locations, and there are loungers all over. There are two showers, one at each hot tub, and they are an actual shower stall.
There are a lot of tables on either side of the pool, and you can get some shade there. This is part of the meal service I will discuss in another section. There is a very nice pool bar. Lots of people stop by here, but it is usually quiet and a good place to go for soft drinks, too. They have a nice setup and offer premium drinks, a selection of wine and also sparkling and regular water. They come around with service on this deck and deck 9 to offer drinks, water mist, and cold towels during the day. This area is also a place for sailing parties sometimes, and they have the pool bbq out here sometimes.

Any preference? Pros and cons? THX
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Any preference? Pros and cons? THX
I use Sewline and like it a lot. Haven't tried the other brand.
You always have to make a test as some colors might not come off on some fabric.
Hasn't been a problem for me as I haven't used it where it will show.
I, too, use Sewline and have not tried any others (F&P or Bohin). I only use the white and grey leads and have had no problems with the markings coming off (I use water, not an eraser, cuz it does less stretching to the fabric). Been using it over 2 years and recommend it often.
The Earth without art is just "Eh".
I LOVE the Bohin pencil, I use all the different colors, green probably the most, then white or graphite, yellow if I need it. Truth to tell all I used was a mechanical pencil until I used one; now I have about 3.
After 2 years with the same signature I have been requested to remove it. Bye
Just yesterday I went to Keepsake Quilting in New Hampshire looking for a marker to use on a black background quilt. Since F&P own the store now, there was a great selection of their stuff. Someone told me once before those are great markers, but they cost about $15. I bought a different brand for about $3, since I rarely need a white marker.
I have both the Sewline and F&P and I can't tell the difference. I like them both!
I have noticed that it is now hard to find the colored lead, probably because I and others have had trouble getting them to wash out of the quilt. I have both brands and it is so much easier to mark the quilt with them.
"Not everything that comes into your head should come out your mouth!"
I have a Fons & Porter pencil that I refill with Sewline leads (because that's the brand the LQS where I work carries now. They are interchangeable.) I have green, white and pink leads and switch them out, depending on what color fabric I'm marking. We use the Sewline pencil at the shop and carry all colors of leads, plus the separate eraser and refills.

This is my second time watching this drama it's so sad and I couldn't help but cry in every episode, yoon suh has showed so much love for hanna and hanna too but it was late ? .. I hated maya and her mother more and more every episode 'till the very end so cruel!!! .. but really this is my favorite drama ever #1 PSH and LW did a great job I wish there would be a remake :""")
Why Why WHY did the drama end like that!? I can't remember the last time I cried so much!! Why is it every drama I watch have a cruel heartbreaking and sad ending!? What dramas have bloody happy endings!? My heart can't take anymore!!! </3 Either way I really loved this drama! It was truly beautiful and the love between Hana and Yoon Suh was just so real! One of the best dramas definitely~ Touched my heart! But I don't know if I'll ever be able to watch it again because it was just sooo sad and heartbreaking.... I cried so much my eyes hurt I don't know if my heart can take it anymore...... This will definitely be on my mind for a long time! So sad but so beautiful! <333 Can't regret watching it~
I wish that Hana could have had an ending with her first crush then it would not be so sad. There is always a solution to everything. That is reality. Do not let fiction ruin your love life. It is only a movie. Learn from these dramas and live a better life yourselves eh guys!
I dislike bittersweet love ending. It makes my heartache for both of them. It comes so close to reality the storyline. Someone who lost soo much can still loose more at the end. They the unfortunate ones has to try to move on with memories. What a lonely feeling. If it ever to happen to me I wouldn''t know how to live my life after all these hardships.
SilverymoonI agree, they could have made it a happy ending. If they ever remake this drama again, please make it a happy ending. This tragedy makes my heart ache and I never want to watch this again and go through the sadness.
3 years ago . Report
Maya changed of personality is also a little too drastic. Yoon Suh being so naive (when the boy stopped him near police station and the assassin attacking him) is also puzzling. But hey, if nothing drastic happens or no coincidences (which is always so improbably), then there will be no drama and the show will lack intensity. Hence I guess we have to accept everything with a pinch of salt, right? Only then, we can enjoy the show which the director wanted to show us.
Let me try and understand ... I believe Yoon Suh left Oppa at the graduation ceremony and was probably penniless and fighting in the streets, hence was eyed by the triad leader to kill Shimada (who helped him killed 6 of his rivals). That way, there is no link to him for the death of the 6 rivals and Yoon Suh is an unknown in this gangster world ... Yoon Suh became Yuki when the triad leader thought Shimada was killed (so did Yoon Suh). When Shimada appeared, he thought of surrendering with Shimada showing that Shimada is still alive. However, Shimada was killed by Maya to save him. So he took the crime upon himself. That is why he has to leave Hana as he will be jailed for many years. The triad leader had to kill him for fearing that he leaks out too many secrets and also the death of the 6 deceased triad leaders. Is my understanding correct?

Have you noticed a fairly major Windows XP update hitting your system recently? If not you're probably using Vista (my sympathies - more of later) but for the undiscerning eye you're receiving Service Pack 3!
Yep, the much talked about Vista killer (it further widens the performance gap between the two OSes - despite being downplayed by the upgrade promoting Microsoft) - which was released in May now comes to all Windows XP users in compulsory form and don't be afraid there's nothing to fear.
Largely made up of a number of cumulative patches you may already have, SP3 can vary in size from anywhere between 67MB and 300MB depending on how spick and span you keep your system. You'll also gain a bunch of bug and security fixes, further code optimisation, some additional functionality including Network Access Protection (NAP) and peace of mind that you would indeed have been madder than a March hare to upgrade to the unholy one.
So if you've been terrified to hit that 'Install' button until now fear no longer, this is Microsoft's good OS and it won't turn around and bite you. That horror awaits when you next buy a new PC...
Speaking of which Microsoft is about to start a global multi-million dollar advertising scheme to try and counteract the common belief Vista is a failure (who coulda thunk it?). Bravely sticking his head above the parapet is Microsoft's VP of Windows Vista Consumer Marketing (touch job) Brad Brooks who admitted "{With Vista} We broke lot of things. We know that, and we know it caused you a lot of pain. It got customers thinking, hey, is Windows Vista a generation we want to get invested in?"
Referring to Apple he confirmed: "We've got a pretty noisy competitor out there. You know it. I know it. It's caused some impact. We're going to start countering it". Good luck Brad, but if I were you I'd be placing more emphasis on getting a scalable Windows 7 right and out on time....

Chris Froome moved a significant step closer to Tour de France glory as he retained his overall lead on arguably the most difficult stage of this year's mountainous route.
While Rui Costa raced clear to win his second stage this week in the rain in Le Grand-Bornand, Froome held off late attacks from his rivals Alberto Contador and Nairo Quintana to remain five minutes and 11 seconds clear of Contador.
Froome must now face one more mountain challenge, tomorrow's 125km stage to Annecy-Semnoz, before he can plan a victory parade in Paris on Sunday night.
But to have come through today's stage - described by several riders as the most difficult of a Tour which has already featured Mont Ventoux and a double ascent of the Alpe d'Huez - and to do so in wet conditions towards the end, will be a huge relief for Froome.
He finished more than eight and a half minutes after Costa, who had caught Frenchman Pierre Rolland on the last of the five categorised climbs, and led over the top of the Col de la Croix by a minute in heavy rain.
The Movistar rider then held his nerve down the slippery descent to finish 49 seconds clear of Andreas Kloden.
Costa was also a winner earlier this week on stage 16 to Gap.

Just a few weeks ago I got to headed out to shop for one of my least favorite things. But, for the first time, thanks to LensCrafters – that quickly changed! I am near-sighted so I have to wear glasses when I drive, and sometimes when watching TV. I've had the same black rectangle Chanel pair for – I am embarrassed to say, 8 years. Yep, the last time I had an eye exam too. Horrible right?
When LensCrafters offered me to visit their beautiful, well-managed store in Annapolis Mall, I was thrilled! I got the most thorough eye-exam of my life just to find out I did indeed need a new prescription. Did I mention I didn't even have to wait? My appointment was for 10am and as soon as I arrived there were ready for me! Talk about good service.
As I exited, the store manager had already been shopping the store for some frames she thought I would like. She made me feel instantly right at home and as if I was shopping with a friend. Seriously, that lady needs a raise! You can tell she has been there for almost 25 years. I loved her! Anyway – I browsed the store some more to pick out a handful of favorites – Ralph Lauren, DKNY, Tory Burch, Prada, Tiffany & Co., and a simple pair of Vogue. I was in for tough decisions, I could already tell with their endless choice of super-stylish frames.
Well, thanks to a pretty genius little system, the AccuFit – a digital measuring system exclsuive to LensCrafters – my decision was SO much easier. The three-part system is just brilliant. My favorite part? The VirtualMirror where you try on your four favorite pairs and see how you look in the different frames. I couldn't believe it! They literally took a picture as I tried on each frame and wow, did that help me make my decision. I was amazed how different they looked on the shelf vs. on my face.
LensCrafters was the first retailer ever to introduce digital measurements in the U.S. and Canda and boy, does it make a difference! Especially for someone like me who works at a computer ALL.DAY.LONG. I could go on and on about how amazingly brilliant the AccuFit Digital System is but I won't bore you but I will feed you the incredible facts:
- AccuDigital System ia one system, three platforms
- AccuFit Digital Measurement System: 5 times more precise than the traditional, manual method.
- LensSimulator: Experience the benefits of each lens choice in a dynamic and interactive way.
- VirtualMirror: Enables customers to see how they look in multiple frame styles.
- You can take the same prescription to different vision care professionals and actually see differently. What's causing the difference? Manual measurements of your pupil distance, which can vary by the administering optician and measurement method. The accuracy of these measurements determines how well you see with your new eyewear.
- LensCrafters' new and exclusive AccuFit Digital Measurement System enables its skilled opticians to measure the precise location of the pupils, the spacing between eyes, and the shape of glasses to ensure the best possible placement of the prescription in your new glasses.
- Who benefits? Anyone who wears glasses or sunglasses made with their prescription, whether they be nearsighted, farsighted or wear glasses for computer work or driving.

Results 1 to 12 of 19
Ravens @ Pitt
Figured it was time to start talking about next week. After seeing what Philly was able to do to Pitt today and the way our D is playing again i would say Pitt is in for a long night. Ben is banged up, we have not allowed a 100 yard rusher in 21 straight games, I would say this game will be pretty similar to te 2006 season (pick your game) I mean philly had 8 sacks today then we should be close to double digit sacks. I just wonder if we win on Monday will the media give us any credit. I am ready to lay a beat down on Monday night.Hating Steeler Fans Since Birth

Re: Ravens @ Pitt
eff the media. When I traveled to Oakland for the AFC Championship game, I was greeted by shit talking Oakland Airport police...(seriously).
I'm sure that the win against Cleveland tonight...or maybe it's the moon shine... influencing my take, but sweet jesus, the O line is GREAT, the defense looks awesome...WHY NOT!!!
Let's start carrying the torch for RAVENS all the way!

Re: Ravens @ Pitt
Steelers are still number one against the run, number two overall defense. Its probably going to be a long day for both offenses. Might be one of those games where someone wins 6-3. Should be fun and should be more telling than a 4th regular season usually is about who is going to end up the eventual division champ.
I like the schedule with all the division games at the front and back ends of the season.
Re: Ravens @ Pitt
The Squeelers got manhandled yesterday. Ben Rothlsbrrxzlrrrgr (sp?) was getting killed all day. I have a feeling they are going to make the necessary corrections and lock it down. BUT... our defense smells blood, and it will indeed be a feeding frenzy. The one thing that concerns me about this game? MONDAY NIGHT! Ravens+Monday Night Football=Legendary Suckage.
Maybe this will be the season we turn it around on MNF. Let's see if the media actually talks about the Ravens now.
"Welcome to MNF! Tonight's matchup is the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. that other team."

Re: Ravens @ Pitt
Steelers' defense looks very good and will give our young offense an exzcellent test, but their OL is BAD. If Ben has time to throw we lose, so we have to do like Philly did - 9 sacks, reminiscent of the game here in 2006.
Read the meltdown by Steelers fans. It does sound weird. Why sign Starks to the transition tag, pay him 7 or 8 mil, then not start him? The mistake was the pay, he is too slow...

Re: Ravens @ Pitt
Needless to say, this is a big game.
Looking for Harbaugh to keep the trash talking down, to differentiate this era from the Billick era. Be quiet and just get it done.
Would like nothing better than for the media to ignore us all week, be a huge underdog and walk away with the win.
The biggest battle will be our o-line versus their d-line. If we can open up the running game the same way we have the last 2 games we'll be set. That said, the Pittsburgh D is pretty tough
Re: Ravens @ Pitt
Cleveland's strength (if you can call it that) on defense was run defense up the middle. The Ravens were able to run yesterday quite well, so perhaps our O-line can create some holes (along with Neal) and create running lanes against the Steelers."I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused" - Elvis Costello
Re: Ravens @ Pitt
All I can say is they are RIGHT for once. Never thought I would say a squeelers fan was right but Ben may end his season next week with us! We always have a way of getting up in his face and hurting him. Their O-Line is not looking very good and that is not good coming in againist the #1 defense in the NFL. I smell lots of sacks!

Re: Ravens @ Pitt
Defensive match up that will expose a lot for both teams.
If our D can hit them early and often, I see us winning a close one. If they stick it to us first, Flacco is going to have a long day.
Re: Ravens @ Pitt
We are Ranked 1 overall D they are 2, the bigger number is they are ranked 29th overall on O and we are 19. Yes it will be tough for both O's on Monday but I have to say I feel alot better about this game than I did during training camp.Hating Steeler Fans Since Birth

Re: Ravens @ Pitt
After the debacle with Philly, Pittsburgh will probably plan on lots of quick timing passes and some screens so Ben doesn't have to hold the ball too long.
Will our surprising offensive line be able to open holes against Pittsburgh? Probably not as well as against the Browns and Cincy but they'll do OK. Because running will be tougher, Flacco's play willll have more say in how we do than in the previous two games.
Our Defense has been getting their hands on a lot of those quick passes and knocking them away harmlessly or batting them into the air where they can be intercepted.
I look forward to a QB with a damaged shoulder and hand attempting to beat our defense by throwing the ball a lot!!

It's a bit awkward for a person who writes about travel to admit that her sense of geography is rubbish (just scraped a pass in seventh form, mortifying). Which may explain why I'd never grasped the difference between Queensland's Gold and Sunshine Coasts, conflating them into some blurry picture of sand and high rise and women in white pants with lots of gold jewellery.
It wasn't until I'd been introduced to the wonders of the Noosa Wine and Food Festival that the differences between the two coasts sharpened into focus.
When I finally made it to the Sunshine Coast last month, you could say I was a blank slate waiting to be impressed.
And impressed I was. From the moment of picking up the car at Brisbane Airport, programming it to head north, I was hooked. The tiny bit of drizzle on the way up was a sweet novelty after our rain-starved summer, the paddocks green and bush lush compared to the southern states. Big, empty, well-signposted highways - even the "rush hour" I passed heading south into the city seemed less onerous than ours.
Turns out Sunshine Coast is the gentler, prettier side of Queensland, with Noosa so determined not to become another Gold Coast, marred by tasteless development, it recently de-amalgamated from the wider Sunshine Coast council. Sure, there were the high rises of Mooloolaba (I stayed in the tallest one, the striking Mantra, and confess to loving being perched so high above the beach with views back across the hinterland), but they were a good block or more back from the beach and the few towers are now limited to only 12 storeys. Instead, there were tree-lined streets of gentle low rise; density with neighbourliness.
On the Sunshine Coast, not all beaches are created the same: from the south, Mooloolaba's Mount Maunganui-ish vibe of promenade and cafes, the smaller settlements of Coolum (golf-central), Pergian, Marcus, Sunrise or Sunshine beaches give way to the elegant riversides, parks, gardens and foodie attractions of the stylish Noosa Heads and Noosaville in the north.
The travel goddess kindly delivered a packed Mooloolaba beach on my first day, with thousands of tanned and toned bodies competing in the Festival of Surfing.
She was less kind about the weather for my afternoon sail with the nice Brian from Set Sail Cruises: his giant catamaran needed more wind to skim across the top of the rolling waves, and we had to retreat to the safety of the river when two passengers pleaded sea-sickness. But that proved a sparkling introduction to the canal architecture (real estate, these parts, starts around $2 million; famous locals include the late Steve Irwin's wife and young 'uns). Gin palaces moored near the grunty prawn boats summed up what this part of Queensland is about.
The region has finally started pitching its justly deserved food bowl reputation.
With raw food cafes, ginger farms and farmers' markets through to fine dining, a person could happily eat their own bodyweight. There are enough of the fun parks - Aussie World, Australia Zoo, opals, kart tracks and so on - to suit the multi-generational family market the region is targeting, but it was the gentler pursuits that charmed me. There is an emerging bike culture, bush walks and pampering spas dotted through the hinterland and, blissfully, the brochures do not lie about those golden beaches and warm surf.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Hello, I'm Nathan and I will be assisting you today. Please remember to rate/accept my answer when we have finished. Thank you.
Hi there, sorry to hear you're having trouble with the tv stand,
can you give me the full model number of the tv please? It usually starts with KDL or somethign similar, followed by a few numbers.
Yes, it's KDL-40BX421
Great, thanks for the info.
Please be patient as I research this for you. Normally the screw sizes are not included in the normal service documentation, so it may take me awhile to track down the proper specs for you.
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX it!
No problem, be back with you soon.
Do you have the screws, and just need instructions on which go where? Or have you lost all of them?
For this model you should have 3 shorter screws that are installed vertically (holding 2 pieces of the stand to the base) and then 4 that affix the tv to the stand, which are longer
No, I do not have any of the screws, I believe they were inadvertently thrown out. And yes, I believe the count is correct, 3 and 4, instead of the 8 that I first mentioned. I can buy them at Lowe's, just need to know what size are used.
Okay, just wanted to make sure I'm getting you the info you're looking for.
Okay, I'm back, sorry for the delay.
What you need are M5x16 (4 each) and M4x12 (3 each)
These are standard machine screws
Awesome! Thanks so much!
Looks like this. Remember to get washers and lock nuts too.
If you can't find them at lowes/home depot, check at Ace or TrueValue hardware, they usually have a bit bigger hardware selection.
And if all else fails, you can order them online
Will do, thanks again for your help.
You're very welcome. Have a great weekend,Nathan
Also, please do remember to rate my service prior to logging off, hopefully I have earned an "excellent".
Sure have! You have a great weekend too!
Nathan, the size of the screws worked well, but for future reference you may want to include the length as well.
Ok, thanks and you are right about that. I obviously don't know anything about it, but assumed the hardware guy would understand the specs - he should have. Thanks again!

Ripoff Report
All Seasons Pools, Orlando185 E. Airport Blvd. Sanford, Florida USA
All Seasons Pools, Orlando Our pool is a money pit and still not working Sanford Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
We are so unhappy and disappointed that we gave this company over $50,000 and have a pool that does not work. They promised everything at signing a contract but did not deliver. Our dual heating system has not worked since completion and it has cost us another $1,600 in propane lost. The controls to the pool do not work.
The surface and tiles are poor quality and workmanship. The communication was near non existent during construction. We were promised the pool would be done by thanksgiving, it was not. Now at Easter, we still can not use it. They say they will fix it, but never do. They say we will get 2 months pool service, they never do. Buyer beware. We were ripped off big time!

It was not our inability to work our pool!
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, December 31, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, December 31, 2014
They finally did what they were suppose to do with the heating systems in the first place! We maintain our service contract with All-Seasons because of the strict conditions of their warranty. Other pool service companies shy'd away after reading their warranty requirements. Controls from mobile devices still not working right. They did some follow-up to resolve problems with their plumbing, but it was not our inability to use the pool controls. We acknowledge and appreciate their efforts to resolve the problems, but it isn't perfect!

Problem Resolved
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, December 31, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, December 31, 2014
There were some issues with the operation of the automation on the Buchannan's new pool regarding their dual heating system. The Buchannan's were accidentally leaving their spa heater on and running the tank empty. Once the spa shut off, the system was switching back into pool mode and would continue using gas throughout the day or night. After several attempts to teach the customer how to operate both the heaters through the automation we decided to re-plumb the system so they could not accidentally leave the gas heater for the spa on and run their propane tank down.
The only drawback to this set up is the gas heater cannot be used to heat the pool anymore in the cooler months and the Buchannan's will have to rely on the electric heat pump for the heating of the pool year round.
They are happy with their pool now and are still a customer. They pay us to maintain their pool on our service route.

Captain Huck Workout!
Photos: Sauerland Event
Click the photo to go to the next photo
Marco "Captain" Huck (24-1, 19 KOs) is convinced he will make a successful – and spectacular – third defence of his European cruiserweight title when he takes on unbeaten Ukrainian Vitaliy Rusal (23-0, 16 KOs) on Saturday night. The 24-year-old only has the best memories of Bamberg. "This is the city where I made one of the best fights of my career," Huck said during today´s public training session. "Two years ago, I defeated Vadim Tokarev despite fighting with a broken hand for the better part of the bout. My hand or my jaw might break, but my fighting spirit can never be broken. I am looking forward to a successful fight on Saturday and I will defeat Rusal."
Yet coach Ulli Wegner has warned his star not to underestimate his 28-year-old opponent, who fights under the promotional banner of K2 East. "All boxers from the former Soviet Union have been educated very well," he said. "They also have a great deal of amateur experience, and Rusal´s fight record speaks for itself. Marco needs to be on alert and stick to the tactics we have prepared." Wegner believes Rusal could be an even tougher challenger than former world champion Firat Arslan, who pulled out of the eagerly-anticipated showdown. "It is a pity that the fight does not happen," Wegner said. "The German fans would have loved to see it, but boxing-wise Rusal could pose an even bigger threat than Arslan. It will be an interesting encounter."
Also in action will be EE-EU light-middleweight champion Alexander Abraham (24-0, 16 KOs), who defends his title against Russia´s Magomed Abdurakhmanov (14-2, 7 KOs). It will be a special fight for the 27-year-old who, together with his brother, IBF middleweight champion King Arthur Abraham, grew up in Bamberg. "Lots of old friends will be coming and I do not plan to disappoint them," Abraham said. "The atmosphere will be fantastic – I´ve been ringside the two times Arthur fought here. I look very much forward to Saturday."
Yoan Pablo Hernandez also takes on Aaron Williams, Alexander Frenkel comes face-to-face with Balint Turgonyi, Dominik Britsch clashes with Ibrahim Sid and the "Nordic Nightmare" Robert Helenius battles it out with Ozcan Cetinkaya.

The following guides are provided to help you setup and maintain your ResNet connection.
Before You Arrive On Campus
Network Setup & Troubleshooting
Computer Security
Wireless Connections
Here are a few tips that will make the ResNet connection process much easier and help protect your computer from viruses and spyware.
Download and install all available updates for your computer. Updating Instructions
Scanning your computer for viruses and spyware then removing any you find can drastically improve you computer's performance. It may speed it up and will help protect your computer and you from malware and other unwanted programs and files on your computer. You can learn more about and download anti-spyware software on our Security Page. You can also find information on viruses at Microsoft's Security page.
OSU uses a malware detection service called FireEye on all wired/wireless networks. If your computer has a virus/malware infection that gets caught by the FireEye service, your access to internet on campus will be disabled until your computer is cleaned.
OSU provides instructions on how to install and utilize programs like Sophos and Windows Defender/Security Essentials anti-virus softwares and updates to all students.
Once you are on campus, in order to get your devices online, you will need to register them on the network. This is done in one of two places.
OSU provides network connectivity in support of the educational mission of OSU. Using the network at OSU is a privilege. As such, it is the responsibility of each individual to use these services appropriately and in accordance with all University policies and applicable laws.
Before using the OSU Wireless Network, you should read the OSU Acceptable Use Policy.
When connecting your computer to the network, you must use a network cable (also known as an Ethernet or CAT–5/CAT-5e/CAT–6 cable). A regular phone cable will not work, even though it looks similar to a network cable.
Network cables can be purchased at the OSU Beaver Store.
Internet Cable
Phone Cable
To work on ResNet, your computer needs to be configured to use DHCP. If you used Cable or DSL at home, your computer may be configured improperly. Follow the appropriate instructions for your operating system.
Please select your Operating System:
Step 1
Click the Start circle at the bottom left of your screen. In the Search bar at the bottom, type "ncpa.cpl" and click on the link when it appears in the menu.
Step 2
Right-click on the Wireless Network Connection item and click Properties
Note: If you are connecting to the wired network on the dorms instead of wireless, right-click on the Local Area Connection and hit properties instead
Step 3
Highlight the Internet Protocol Version 4 item in the list, and click the Properties button.
Step 4
Make sure that Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically are both selected. Change them if one of both are not selected, and click OK.
Close all open settings windows, and DHCP will be set up correctly.
Step 1
Click Start » Control Panel » Network and Internet Connections » Network Connections
Step 2
Right-click on the Wireless Connection (or Local Area Connection if you are connecting via an internat cable) and select Properties.
Step 3
Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the white box, then click the Properties button.
Step 4
Verify that the default "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain a DNS Server automatically" are selected and click OK.
Close all open settings windows, and your DHCP settings should be set up correctly.
Step 1
Open the main system preferences window by clicking on the Apple Menu, then System Preferences.
Step 2
Click on the Network icon.
Step 3
If you will be using wireless to connect, select the "Wi-Fi" entry in the list on the left
Note: If you are using an older version of OS X, this may be called "Airport" instead of "Wi-Fi"
If you will be connecting with an internet cable, select the "Ethernet" entry in the list on the left
Click on the Advanced button
Step 4
Click the TCP/IP tab at the top.
Make sure "Using DHCP" is selected from the dropdown menu.
Click the OK buton, and your DHCP settings should be configured correctly
It is possible to connect your internet ready game consoles to the Residential Network to play online games. Each of these devices has a hardware address that must be registered with ResNet for the device to have access to the network.
To register devices (wired):
To register devices (wireless):
Go to the Selfreg Registration helpdoc page and follow the instructions for wireless connections.
You can connect any device with a wireless card to the wireless network in the dorms. If you have multiple gaming devices that need access to a wired port, or you want all devices to be on their own private network, you will need a properly configured router. You will also need to configure port forwarding on your router to make some online games work.
Here is a page on using routers on ResNet: ResNet Routers
Network Media Players are devices that can stream shows from providers like Netflix and Hulu directly to your TV by connecting to the internet. Certain models have a hard-coded DNS which causes them to have connection problems on OSU networks, including ResNet.
Typically connecting through an Ethernet cable will resolve the issue, so we always recommend that people buy Media Playrs with Ethernet ports. Most players have ports already, but some like the Roku HD and Roku 2 XD do not.
Getting a wireless router should fix the connection issue, but this has not yet been tested. If you had to choose a Roku, its highly recommended to get the Roku 2 XS, because it is currently the only member of the Roku lineup that has an Ethernet port built in.
Computers will sometimes lose their connection to the Internet. Some causes may be power outages or surges, problems with the University's network hardware, or improperly configured settings on other people's computers on the network. Often a computer's network settings can be "flipped off and back on" and will start working again. This process is easy to do, and fix most connection issues.
There are a few ways you can reset your computer's network connection:
This is the most effective way to reset your network configuration, as every program and service will be shut down, then restarted again. Restarting will reset your network connection regardles of what operating system you have (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux).
If you are unable to shut down your computer, or you don't want to for some reason (too many things open, currently working on something), you can try option 2 or 3 below:
The IP address? in the Status window should be 128.193.x.y, where x and y are two numbers between 0 and 255. If so, the computer is communicating with the network and you should be able to access the Internet.
If the IP address is in the form of 10.195.x.y then your computer is not registered on ResNet. If your IP address is 10.193.x.y then your system has be disabled and you should check your ONID email for additional information.
Below you will find different ways you can hook up your printer in the dorms.
The easiest way to use a printer in the dorms is directly connecting the printer to your computer via a USB cable. Many computers will correctly detect the printer and automatically install the proper programs when plugged in. For printers that do not automatically do this, there will generally be a CD that comes packaged with the printer that you can run.
If your printer does not have a USB connection, but has an Ethernet port on the back, you can connect your printer using a wired connection. You will need an Ethernet cable (Cat-5 or higher is recommended) to connect your printer to your router. There are two ways to setup a printer using a wired connection.
The easier method is to connect and register a router, and from there, connecting your printer and computer to your router via two of the numbered LAN slots in the router. Your printer and computer will share a private network, allowing you to use your printer.
How to Set Up a Router on ResNet
The other method is to directly connect your printer to the orange or green internet jack in your room. If you decide to do this method, you will need the computer's Physical or MAC address?. This is a 6-part ID that identifies your printer. The address will generally look like this:
5A-6B-7C-8D-9E-0F or 5A:6B:7C:8D:9E:0F
You can usually find this address through the menu of your printer, either under Network Settings or by printing a test page.
Once you find this address, go to ResDesk. Login with your ONID credentials, click on Register a new device, fill in the MAC address and a description, accept the terms and conditions, and submit. It might take up to 15 minutes to add your device to the network.
There are two types of wireless printers: WiFi and Bluetooth.
If you have a WiFi printer, the only way to access the Internet is to set up a wireless router. However, this is not recommended, since it can conflict with the university's wireless services.
How to Set Up a Router on ResNet
If you have a Bluetooth printer, ensure your computer has a Bluetooth adapter. This is a small device that allows your computer to recognize Bluetooth signals. The process of connecting the printer is highly automated. Windows has a wizard for installing the printer by going to Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Printers -> Add a printer, while Macs have a Add Printer button under the Print menu that pops up when you try to print.
ResNet provides wired network ports in every residence hall room and all rooms are covered by the OSU wireless network. OSU does not allow the use of personal wireless routers and wireless access points as they can interfere with the OSU wireless coverage provided in all residence halls.
If feel your room does not have adequate wireless please report it to the IS Service Desk.

I bought this on the suggestion of a beauty guru. This product really doesn't hold my hair in place any better than regular hair spray nor does it add much body. It comes out of the can so forcefully as well. The smell is not my favorite either. I am glad that I choose the travel size as I do not love this product and I definitely don't feel that it's worth the hype!!3

RUNNING SPRINGS -- Several vehicles, including two tractor-trailers, have spun out on Highway 330 just south of Highway 18 Sunday night resulting in all lanes of the mountain road being blocked, according to California Highway Patrol and Caltrans officials.
Caltrans issued a traffic advisory around 9 p.m., reporting Highway 330 had been blocked and all traffic trying to head south on Highway 330 was being rerouted to Highway 18. Northbound traffic was at a standstill, according to initial CHP reports.
A little after 8 p.m., CHP officers were alerted to numerous vehicles without snow chains were beginning to spin out along Highway 330 near Running Springs. Caltrans had issued a chain restriction for Highway 18 heading into Big Bear Lake, Running Springs and Lake Arrowhead earlier in the day. As of 9 p.m., the restriction was in only place along Highway 18 from Panoramic Point near Rim of the World to just north of the Highway 18/Highway 330 junction, according to the Caltrans website.
No injuries had been reported as of 9:30 p.m.
More to come.
