Together (formerly KIT - Keep It Together) is an application for storing, organizing, editing and previewing all kinds of files and can find them again quickly. Just about anything can be dragged to Together's main window or Shelf for safe keeping. The Shelf is a system-wide window that appears as a tab on the side of the screen, which can also be used to browse and search the library, access favorites items and make quick notes.
Items can be organized into groups and folders. Folders work just like in the Finder, while groups can collect files from different places together, much like iTunes playlists. Items can be color-coded with labels and tagged. Smart Groups do the work of staying organized for you. Together uses Spotlight to search the contents of all kinds of files as you type. Together can also encrypt documents, imports files in the background to ensure the library is always available and supports multiple libraries. Together can also sync with .Mac.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Slippy, Aug 18, 2006.
I'll go to sleep....WHEN YOU TELL ME WHO WAS HANGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slippy can afford to say that. He's the game manager, so he doesn't have to worry about either being murdered or hanged in the near future. Seriously, Slippy I think you have to hold off any decisions until you ascertain Dlev's actual intent of vote. His post was pretty clear. Darth, you might be a little noid. But given that there was NO evidence against you at all, and you might be hanged by a jury of your peers...maybe not too noid.
tater, i thought it was you, honest. i had asked if baseball players could actually run out of gas during the season. and you (or someone else, I guess) said that pitchers do. anyway, i think aurora is right. dlev sure sounded like he wanted to vote for me. i mean, i didn't do it (as y'all will find out when i am hanged and the slaughter continues), but shouldn't he get to vote? this is so funny because obviously everyone is going to say they didn't do it, and everyone really means it (except obviously for one person). what a funny, maddening game! good idea to start it you guys. and, if i am hanged, i just want to say: "forgive them, for they know not what they do"
The noose swayed lazily in the breeze as the mob marched up to the hewn planks that carried swift justice and dropped even swifter revenge. One of them would answer for the crime committed a few days ago. Roscoe was more than a member. He was a vital organ to the forum organism. A cancer had come to deal its deadly hand. It had to be cut out. AuroraKMW stood defiant as the rope was fitted about her neck. "Death will not end with me. Remember that. Especially you, Dlev. Thanks for voting on time." Dlev59 shrugged but said nothing. In moments it was over. Roscoe was avenged. The group was safe again.
:Cry: that's so sad! i wish i hadn't voted for her :Cry:
I don't get it. Roscoe was avenged? Was she guilty?????
I think we might have to wait and see if someone else is offed first. Sleep with at least one of your many spud eyes open Tater. :behindsof EDIT: Of course, now if Darth does get killed, its going to look like I did it.
OK SOMEONE is up WAY past his bedtime.
Yeah, somehow the prospect of a murderer areound every corner makes it harder to doze off! Besides, it's two hours earlier in Idaho than in Meeechigan. Actually, I figured I could sleep in since I expected to "wake up dead" (apologies to Yogi Bera). Jammer: Nah, you are innocent. But the REAL killer will blame you. I'm almost certain he is "shtill lurking about" (apologies to Daffy duck...I doubt anyone knows what I mean on this one unless you saw a particular classic episode). Aurora: If I live to the end of this round I may vote to hang Dlev just to avenge your innocent soul. However, The Low is still my number one suspect. Nobody else could have done this dastardly act and watched you hang for his deed. Your detective work will be missed, but he will pay for his crimes. Linwood & Prof: "Shame! Shame! Shame"! (With apologies to Gomer Pyle). How could you hang that innocent girl? I expect you two to do triple time to make up for the loss of detective work we suffered due to losing Aurora. And you call yourselves detectives? Oh, the Shame!!! Slippy: "For the last time clean your damned room"!!! (with apologies to Slippy's mom). This place used to be a safe haven to relax. Now, it is the murder capital of cyber space. Thanks a lot! OK, I gotta work all morning (but I'll try to sneak some peeks) then I'm going fishing probably, so I may be dead by the time I return to the forum. So here is my suspect list in order of suspicion before I die: (1) The Low...strong number one. Evil Evil Evil...and BITTER. (2) Prof...This dude is one tricky cat. Put nothing past him. (3) Jammer...Still possible he pulled offt he crime of the century. I always say "if you can't blame it on the black guy (with apologies to the Low), blame it on the Cannuck! (4) Dlev...odd how he didn't vote. Hmmmmm.... (5) Linwood...99 percent chance he is innocent, but wouldn't it be fun to watch him hang? Come on, you know you wanna!
Early on I was pretty convinced that it was Jammer. Unfortunately, I can't find the incriminating post anymore. Although it does seem like it would have been difficult for him to escape wearing those vintage MC Jammer pants.
Hey real killer (professor or the low), please kill Mo next!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's really not nice. LMAO!
Whoops! Just did more research and you are right. I take it back, you're obviously not the killer. The thought of you trying to escape the crime in Hammer pants was worth the accusation though. lol!
My bad. Wasn`t sure how the voting went. If I can`t vote correctly, you know I can`t pull off a murder....................:P
STOP! ....Jammertime!
BTW, I'm pretty confident that the culprit is the Low now. Say it ain't so...say it ain't so. This is an episode of "Cops" gone bad. Looks like my boy Low has reached an alltime, well "low". Wacking a freindly canadien that gives his heart and soul to this Pistons fansite just to get more street cred to push his new album. Arrest that man!
Street Cred??? Street Cred???!!! Who do I look like....CB4??? "I'm Black Ya'll, I'm Black Ya'll, I'm Blacker than Black cause I'm Black Ya'll!" Well, I guess its better than wearing MC Jammer pants () ... you won't have to feel the... "Sweat from My Balls!!!"

They say that the longer sellers hold onto properties, the more equity they will realize. In recent years, however, just the opposite has been the case.
Two years ago, in 2009, sellers made a median $36,000 when they sold, a 27 percent price gain. Owners who sold their home last year realized a median price gain of only $26,000, or 16 percent, according to the 2011 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers from the National Association of Realtors.
"Generally the longer a seller is in the home the greater the increase attributable to price appreciations; however, the recent path of home prices has resulted in the level of equity, in homes with seller tenures of 1 to 5 years, to vary from that trend," explains the report.
Owners who sold after 4-5 years are faring the worst. After purchasing at the height of the boom, they are losing $1200 for a net loss of 1 percent. Those who bought before the peak in 2006 are doing well even though prices on average have fallen more than 30 percent since then. Sellers with tenures of 11 to 15 years are realizing median gains of $57,900, or 39 percent. Those with 16 to 20 years in a home are seeing a $138,000 return, or 161 percent.
Unfortunately, the major reasons people sell their homes force many to sell long before than can realize significant equity gains. Leading motivations to sell are job relocation (17 percent), home is too small (17 percent) and want to move closer to friends and family (15 percent).
As a result of the economy, including negative equity which makes homes worth less than value of the mortgages used to buy them, the median time Americans own a home has lengthened to 9 years from a low of 6 years in 2007. Sellers of detached single-family homes, which account for the largest share of homes sold, owned their home for a median of 10 years. Yet even with the longer tenure, owners are realizing significantly lower returns than they did three years ago.

CANADA FX-C$ hits session high after strong North American jobs data
TORONTO, March 8 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar strengthened sharply to a session high on Friday after much higher-than expected jobs growth in February in both Canada and its main trading partner, the United States.
The currency traded at C$1.0256 to the greenback, or 97.50 U.S. cents, after the employment data, compared with C$1.0288 just before the release and C$1.0294 at Thursday's North American close.

Retailers object to a Walmart in Westerville | The Columbus Dispatch
There are 108 comments on the Columbus Dispatch story from Jul 2, 2010, titled Retailers object to a Walmart in Westerville | The Columbus Dispatch. In it, Columbus Dispatch reports that:Some Westerville retailers have a message for those involved in Wal-Mart's effort to open a store in the Westerville Square Shopping Center: Not so fast.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Columbus Dispatch.

NOT NEEDED. We have enough Wally World stores around the north east side now. The city sure does not need another one. The small trip down to Morse road or over to Route 23 in Powell is small enough that we can all make that drive. It makes more sense for some other types of stores to build in that strip mall, like a store like the old Sunflower Organic market ( they had three stores) here in town? They had the best produce and the best prices in town!! Where is the consideration to bring in smaller retailers to help spur the job growth and the economy?????? We have the retail talent here to build and run a store like that, we just need a few people to step up and help the finances to start a store like that. Sure would be nice for all those needing jobs and for all the shoppers wanting more choices.
#2 Jul 2, 2010
So....with the economy being so bad, Wal-Mart would provide many jobs and provide the city with revenue from it's sales and people's salaries. How can that be bad?
#3 Jul 2, 2010
I'm a Westerville resident and I for one welcome this proposal. America shops Walmart whether some people like it or not -- and we might as well keep the jobs and tax revenue in our backyard. The old, tired argument that Uptown retailers are making again does not hold up because the type of product lines for the most part are different. You can't buy an antique dresser or special unique gift in Walmart and you can't buy a tv, pool or a lot of baby items in Uptown. Store fronts that have been vacant for years don't help anyone and nobody else is knocking. Big Lots is already there so making the strip mall a value oriented destination makes sense. While there are other Walmarts in the northeast area, getting to them with the traffic can be horrendous and this would be a convenient location with many neighborhoods nearby who will use it. Let's knock off the snobbiness, unfounded fears and take this opportunity to finally redevelop this strip mall while we have the chance.
Since: Dec 09
#5 Jul 2, 2010
Good luck fighting Wal-Mart. Many have tried and failed. They have deep pockets and can't be matched dollar for dollar when they want something.
#6 Jul 2, 2010
Not so SmartMom, I am not sure what type of industry you or your significant other are employed in but how would you feel if your job was threatened by a company that didn't care about you, your family, neighbors, friends or country? That is what WalMart is, they are the leading exports of jobs and leading importer of cheaply made crap. And they don't care that they take jobs from the very consumers they are marketing to, and they certainly don't care about the quality of the product they are selling to you. WalMart has taken advantage of cheap overseas labor, government subsidized manufacturing and no regulations to improve their corporate bottom line and destroy American manufacturing. I am sure that this isn't what Sam Walton envisioned when he started WalMart.
#7 Jul 2, 2010
WalMart is a "Big Store for VERY Small Minds". If you measured the IQ of the "average" WalMart shopper and compared that to the average IQ of, say, someone shopping in Barnes and Noble, you'd get the picture real fast. Do we really need to race to the bottom, indulge the LOWEST common denominator and so forth. WalMart is trash, sells trash, attracts trash and is a despicable "American" institution. Use your brain, dummies!!!!!
#8 Jul 2, 2010
The political sentiments Voice of Reason cites are well known -- but they aren't always valid reasons legally for a city to keep out a business. I'm Here is right about those deep pockets. Seeing our tax dollars wasted again on fighting something on purely moral grounds and unfounded fears about losing Westerville jobs is not a good use of our tax money. This kind of viewpoint ignores the fact that people in our area already shop at Walmart - and give that business to other cities. Value oriented businesses are already in Westerville - Big Lots and Marcs. Did the sky fall? If Hadler comes up with a workable plan the city building and development leaders can live with, we should not stand in their way and waste legal funds fighting them again.
#9 Jul 2, 2010
Of course they don't like this idea. Not truer statement could be said, nor could it be more self-serving.
#10 Jul 2, 2010
Voice of Reason- please state some facts. Please cite your sources. I get tired of all the bashing of Walmart with wild statements that are never supported by any documented facts. People state Walmart underpays and drives model stores, with high-paying jobs, out of business. Do you really believe the Uptown stores pay associates $50/hr? Really? I would bet Walmart pays more- and offers some type of insurance- than the Uptown stores.
Yes, they are the biggest retailer in the world and for good reason- their lower prices. FYI, lower prices means myself and my neighbors have more $ in our pockets! Yikes- what a crime! thjey should be arrested for selling merchandise for less than their competitiors! It would leave people with more $ to uptown in Westerville and buy those merchant's overpriced and unnecessary stuff.
Walmart has merchandise that we need to live. The uptown stores have the nice-to-have niche merchandise. For the Uptown Westerville retailers to be scared of Walmart is misguided. Rogers said she'd much rather see the shopping center anchored by "a Trader Joe's or an Andersons" - or even another big-box retailer that isn't "such a value-driven type of business." VALUE. Hmmmm, when did value become a negative word? I guess Rogers is implying that the Uptown stores don't offer value? It's merhcandise is over-priced and unnecessary? If stores can't compete (i.e. Roush Hdwe) then move out of the way.
Economics 101: supply and demand over competition = fair market price. Looks like the Walmart-bashers want to have less competition so prices stay higher.
#11 Jul 2, 2010
Any landlord would salivate to have Walmart as a tenant. If Walmart was such a bad store, why would landlords be so eager to have them on their properties?
#12 Jul 2, 2010
They failed in Powell. Hurrah!
#13 Jul 2, 2010
And if we compared the IQ of those that shop at Barnes and Noble (as you probably do...) to those that shop at the more elite book selelrs, we'd finc you are even less intelligent than a Wal Mart shopper.
#14 Jul 2, 2010
I hope you get that Wal-Mart. Have you ever been in a Wal-Mart? Do you really want those people living near/in your city? Attention: All people on welfare, drugs, and illegal immigrants! "SMART MOM" says its "OK" to invade her city and turn it into another East Side Columbus! You really aren't as smart as you think you are. ;o) You may want that bar of soup for a dime cheaper, but you'll be pissed when you see your school system go down, property value plummet, and crime go up. Hope it was worth it! I'll sit back in Upper Arlington and watch your city fall in the next decade! Don't say I didn't warn you.:o)
#15 Jul 2, 2010
Mike stole my thunder already.
Is it not better to have jobs and tax money from sales thrown into the local economy or just have a vacant building sitting there? Hmmm....
Sometimes the cheap crap is all I need.
Is it worse than Big Lots? Really didn't hear any uproar when that went in.
Sometimes if I need something that will last I go somewhere else. Simple. If ya'll don't want to shop at a walmart then don't. When I need it and it's at walmart that's where I go. Having one close will save me time and gas. It'll be better than an empty storefront in my community.
#16 Jul 2, 2010
cew900... thanks for the insult.
#17 Jul 2, 2010
Well put.Lets not forget about the IQ of most of their employees.The most depressing unpleasent shoppping experience anywhere!
#18 Jul 2, 2010
If Walmart goes in, the timeline of Westerville's ultimate demise will be much easier to predict. Sure, Reynoldsburg will beat it, but Westerville will be right behind.
#19 Jul 2, 2010
...and dumber...errr I mean smarter dad, Have ya been to the walmart at Tuttle Crossing?? Obviously not. Not too many welfare folks there. And *&T^ole, how is addiong tax money to our fine city going bring down the schools??? Vacant buildings bring down property values more than open stores.
Please do keep your uninformed thoughts and your person in UA since you don't live here. Vacant buildings bring down property values too.
#20 Jul 2, 2010
You mean Powell failed and now they owe the Rumas millions of dollars!
#21 Jul 2, 2010
The IQ of lockstep liberal lemmings would give them a run for their money. You can't have a high IQ if you believe in such stupidities as global warming, carbon taxes and reusable grocery bags.

Basketball: Boys varsity snap their 3 game regular season losing streak; Girls get edged Skyline.
By Christopher Duclos
The girls took the court Friday night and put up a stalwart effort to contain No. 7 ranked Skyline at home. Defense shined in the second half after losing the first half 30-16. In the second half, the girls only yielded 14 Skyline points to their 28. In the final seconds of regulation, it came down to foul penalty shots that let Skyline edge out the Lady Beavers by an inch, 54-53.
Skyline's nearly close defeat could send a message to the other teams in the conference: The lady Beavers can hang in there against some of the toughest teams.
Nancy MacGeorge had a whopping 23 points during the game along with Sam Hall with 13.
Friday night's basketball double header continued as the Boys took the court. After the first quarter, it was all Ballard. However, Skyline hung in there and kept the score within 10 all game.
The pace of the game seemingly shifted in Ballard's favor when Seth Berger slammed home a dunk in the 3rd quarter. You can see the video of that above.
Johnny Verduin was on fire, netting 21 points. Seth Berger and Stuart MacGeorge both had their own impact on the game with 10 points each. Final score: 49-41 Ballard. This victory ends their three game losing streak that haunted the team before winning the Les Schwab Holiday Classic trophy and a following exhibition match with a visiting Australian team.

A Painter 4 paint can is proudly on display here in my room. I'm somewhat invested in their product.
Now I'm using the (impossibly) smooth ink pen. If synthetic perfection ever starts boring me, I'll switch to GIMP. GIMP's pen tool has just the right amount of jitter by default. The line looks just like a line that I'd draw with a rapidograph pen on dead tree art paper. It's imperfect. Humanly erroneous.

I'm sure the A-ACLU will come to his defense. This pond scum should get one bullet in the head and his body shippied to El Salvador C.O.D.

I volunteer to be the first one in line to put a few 5.56 rounds right between his eyes. Then we'll start executing all the Anti-American Civil Liberties Union thugs, and all of the Brown Berets terrorists, by firing squad.

When will we come to the point of accepting the fact that the "O" politicians in this country HATE the U.S. and it's citizens. This country is slowly being handed over to other nations. Immigration is a money sucking joke. The "O"s have no desire to get rid of illegals. As soon as they realize that they are losing presidential race they will make them legal and give them the vote.
I knew this was done by an illegal as soon as I heard it on the news and didn't hear details.

The feds let criminal illegal alien go all the time, right back out into the public to hurt more Americans.
The feds do not do their job nor do they care, their actions speak louder than words.

Is Amnesty or other ways to citizenship going to stop these type of felonies. I think not! It will only provide easier ways for the illegal felons to travel through our country (or what use to be America) and give more latitude for these type of incidents! We can start calling America Mexamerica!

Looks like New Jersey isn't the only one with a mass murder, 3 black students murdered in Newark execution style on trial! Where is the marching thru the streets by NAACP, Jesse Jackson, etc.
Thank God the executioners were not caucasians!
Newark citizens would probably burned Newark to the ground!

To put an end to illegal immigration once and for all, go after the employers with stiff fines and jail terms for hiring illegal aliens.
Do we have to round up and deport these people?
Did we pay to bring them here?
If you stop employers from hiring illegal aliens, they will self-deport, leave on their own at no cost to you.
The EMPLOYERS are the root of the problem. Until you go after the employers things will continue to get worse. Get on the hind ends of your politicians and stay there until they pass laws burng the employer's butts. If they hire one make the employer pay to return the illegal to their country of origin. The Republican businessmen are the main culprits. The employers are enjoying the cheap labor and the medical costs for their illegals is being foisted on the taxpayers, through property taxes mainly and then state and local taxes.

Search; The Staggering Cost of Illegal Aliens to U.S. Taxpayers
The Catholic Church puts tremendous pressure on the Dems and the GOP to not only let these illegals stay here but to also give them amnesty and put them on a path to citizenship.
I didn't tell these Catholic illegals they were going to burn in heall for practicing birth control, the Catholic Church did. The Catholic Church bears the reponsibility for the gross OVERpopulation of these Catholic countries. It is the responsibility of the Catholic Church to take these people to Italy and the Vatican, not here in America. Where are the ships transporting Catholic illegals to Italy? American Catholics don't listen to the church about birth control, but these illegals do listen. Overpopulation and poverty are the root causes of crime and the lack of regard for human life.

Manassas is a terrible place to live,if you have kids,please!!don't go there!!

Has anybody been to eastern prince William county lately? OMG, they must be coming by the millions because they are EVERYWHERE. I had to stand in line at a couple places and they were noisy and always jostling me. In addition, this one female (I think) smelled like the worst dollar store combination of various lotions and sprays I have ever been subjected to. This happened over an hour ago and I feel traumatized by the stink. One last thing, why is the Fred Lynn School running announcements on their front sign only in Spanish? Is that what we pay taxes for?
#19 Aug 8, 2012
It's time that we all rise up, and have a revolution.
#20 Aug 8, 2012
Manassas is completely overridden with illegals. The stores have all turned into thrashcans around there. The govt won't help because they are getting big donations from companies that like the cheap labor.
#21 Aug 8, 2012
These illegals are arrogant and dirty. They take pride in noting , but their Mexihole. Funny, how could you be proud of a country which is so corrupt and doesn't care for her people. Stupid People

WASHINGTON -- Tired of being victimized by poor run support, Esteban Loaiza took matters into his own hands.
Loaiza hit a two-run double and pitched six shutout innings, to lead the Washington Nationals, with President Bush in attendance, to a 3-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night, their 11th straight win at home.
Loaiza (3-5) allowed six hits, walked one and struck out five, combining with three relievers on the Nationals' fourth shutout of the season. He was pitching for the first time since being scratched from a scheduled start against Texas on Sunday because of a sore neck.
"I'm glad we had his bat in the lineup tonight," Nationals manager Frank Robinson said.
After watching the Nationals score 37 runs in his three losses and nine no-decisions, Loaiza was an unlikely source of offense. In Loaiza's three wins, Washington has scored 16 runs.
"I wanted to go out and put zeros up on the board," Loaiza said. "I've been struggling a little bit. Today with the bat, my double was outstanding, too."
Brad Wilkerson homered for the Nationals, whose 25 home victories are the most in the National League. Washington won for the 13th time in 14 games at RFK Stadium and improved to 2-0 with the president present.
"It's not a lot of runs," Wilkerson said, "but it was enough to get (Loaiza) the W."
Luis Ayala pitched 1 2/3 innings -- working out of a two-on jam in the seventh -- and Chad Cordero worked the ninth for his major league-leading 24th save.
The Nationals are two games shy of matching the franchise-record home winning streak set by the Montreal Expos at Olympic Stadium from Aug. 28-Sept. 15, 1979. Washington (43-30) moved to a season-high 13 games over .500.
Josh Towers (5-7) lost his sixth straight decision for the Blue Jays, who had won three of four.
Bush took in the Nationals' first game at RFK Stadium after a nine-game road trip. He was joined by Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, brother Marvin Bush and the president's nominee as U.S. ambassador to France, Craig Stapleton -- a Bush cousin by marriage. They sat in the front row of an open, mezzanine-level box along the third-base line.
"I didn't even know he was there until (catcher Brian) Schneider told me in the fourth inning. ... I looked up and he was up there. It's really exciting," Loaiza said.
It was the president's second visit to RFK Stadium for a baseball game this year. He threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the team's home opener April 14 and watched several innings of Washington's win over Arizona.
Bush had to be impressed with Loaiza, who staked himself to a 2-0 lead in the second, recording his first RBI since June 2, 1998 for Pittsburgh in an interleague game against Detroit.
Vinny Castilla and Junior Spivey singled, and with two outs, Loaiza dropped a two-run double inside the left-field line.
"That's the game right there. I don't care who you are, but you just don't get beat by a pitcher," Towers said. "No offense to Loaiza, but you just don't give up a double to the pitcher with two out."
Robinson thought Towers, who got beat on a slider, didn't concentrate enough on the Nationals' pitcher.
"I was going to take," Loaiza said. "But after looking at the outfield, ... I thought he was going to come with a first-pitch strike and I swung and made contact."
Loaiza batted with two runners on again in the fourth. With two outs, Schneider doubled and Towers intentionally walked Cristian Guzman to face Loaiza, who struck out swinging.
In the sixth, the right-hander also worked out of a two-on, none-out jam, getting a popup, a called third strike and a groundout to end the threat.
Towers went six innings, allowing two runs and eight hits. He walked one and struck out five.
Wilkerson led off the seventh with his fifth homer, a shot to right off reliever Justin Speier.
Toronto OF Vernon Wells had his team-high 23rd multihit game. ... Loaiza has gone at least six innings in 12 of his 15 starts. His last multiple-RBI game was May 17, 1998, for Pittsburgh at Arizona. ... Both starters threw 93 pitches, 62 for strikes.

Planning a road trip? Don't even think of leaving home without these 10 items!
Caz Makepeace shares a few of the BEST things she ever packed on her many road trips, even some that are a little strange!
You have your road trip packing list and you've thought carefully about what will keep you comfortable, happy, safe and full: clothes, toys, first aid kit and food.
But you've not paid much attention to the things that will bring you an extra bit of comfort and joy. Mostly because you don't have that crystal ball to really see what those things are.
Allow me to be your crystal ball. Here are a few of the items that have turned out to be the BEST things I've packed on our road trip, even if they seem a little strange!
1. Bikes
Our bike rides exploring the local region are one of the most enjoyable activities we have as a family. Not only do we discover new places, it's free, we enjoy beautiful scenery, we get exercise and we have fun moments like racing each other down dirt tracks. They are the best thing we've packed for our road trip.
We strap our bikes onto the back of our car with a Yakima support system. It's a hassle taking them on and off but so worth it.
2. High speed blender
This might seem like a highly unusual thing to take on your road trip with you but it's almost a necessity. This is how we keep our diet as healthy as possible and reduce our eating costs.
With the high speed blender I can make delicious morning smoothies, soups, creative meals and delicious snacks. You can read more about why we travel with a high speed blender here.
3. UGG boots
I'm so glad I went with my gut on packing my UGGies. You know it's a myth that Australia has the most magical climate. Here's the proof: seven months on the road, the majority of that through summer and I've worn my UGG boots at least 60 percent of the trip. That is what happens when you travel through Victoria and Tasmania. I can't tell you how much I love my UGG boots for giving me much-needed warmth.
4. Fluffy bunny
There's a lot of tears and tantrums that can be avoided if you pack your child's favourite comfort toy. For us, it's Fluffy Bunny – God help us when we accidentally leave him somewhere!
5. Pop-up camper trailer
Our road trip improved dramatically when we bought a pop up camper trailer. It gives everybody a bit of stability, a permanent and organised space for all our things and it reduces our travelling costs quite a lot. You can read more about why we bought a pop up camper trailer here.
6. SkyBox
To give yourself some more breathing room in the car, and to allow yourself the luxury of few more items you love, use a SkyBox. They attach to the roof of your car and you can pack quite a few things in there. Just be careful as it does raise the height of your car, which means you may be restricted with parking garages.
7. Camera
Essential for capturing your memories! We have a Canon 70D and several different lenses. You may not need something so fancy. A point and shoot, or even your phone camera works well. I recommend learning a little about capturing good photos before you leave on your trips.
8. Tablet device
This is your sanity saver! I know you don't want to hand this over to your children but when they're climbing the walls and you're about to fall on the ground in a heap, you'll be glad you can restore calm and zombie-like states with a much needed movie or game time-out for your kids. Just restrict the access and make the games educational.
9. Snack lunch boxes
My children LOVE these nude lunchboxes. They have made road trips bearable. I no longer hear whines of "I'm hungry" every five minutes. I pack them full of sandwiches and snacks. The girls love opening the different compartments to see what they have. It's also teaching them about planning to eat and leaving things for later. Our youngest is still learning and tends to eat the entire contents in the first 30 minutes. I do have to help her monitor a little.
10. Wovii towels
Wovii towels are bright and colourful and also soft. They are also super absorbent and light, making them the perfect towel to pack on your road trip. The girls love to also use them as blankets – and superhero capes.
What are the must-have road trip items for your family?

Project Description2012 RADA
Affordable Housing / Merit
The jury praised the innovative nature of this four-unit affordable housing project, part of a larger development in Topeka, Kan. "It's a really creative architectural approach," said a judge. Principal-in-charge Josh Shelton, AIA, of el dorado credits the Topeka Housing Authority for its willingness to take risks. "They gave us the freedom to rethink what a duplex is," he says.
El dorado staggered the units so the walls could gain exposure to cross-ventilation and natural light. A central courtyard gives the residents a semi-private place to gather, and upper-level balconies provide another outdoor option. The variegated coloring of the project's fiber-cement board rainscreen siding allows its pieces to be easily switched out in the future. "We were thinking ahead about maintenance strategies," Shelton says. He also notes builder Kelley Construction's attention to detail. "They put in such a meticulous level of craftsmanship."

As spring ball approached in March, Muschamp and the staff made a few position changes on the roster and most of them successful.
One of the more successful changes was moving linebacker Gideon Ajagbe to fullback. The rising red-shirt junior had been on campus for almost four years and has almost not seen the field at all. A team favorite and a pretty good athlete, Ajagbe just wasn't passing the muster at linebacker for whatever reason.
Florida tried to sign a fullback in the 2013 class and the one they wanted wasn't going to end up qualifying so they had to do without. With star junior Hunter Joyer at the position, Muschamp has the guy he wants, but there was absolutely nobody behind him in case of injury.
Insert Ajagbe and red-shirt freshman Rhaheim Ledbetter. Ledbetter had a positive spring as well after moving over from the safety position, but Ajagbe was a pretty good find as far as Muschamp is concerned.
"I think he is a very pleasant surprise for us," Muschamp said to a group of reporters gathered before talking to the Polk County Gator Club of the 6-2, 243 pounder.
Ajagbe is an intelligent player and as mentioned pretty athletic. He showed an ability to catch the ball and run after the catch this spring. He was a bull in pass protection. He even showed he could run with the ball when asked to do.
The move is a very natural one given his physical ability.
"Gideon is going to be a guy that can play some 'move' tight end for us," Muschamp said of the 6-2, 243 pounder. "He gave us a little more than we thought we were going to have moving in there.
Muschamp and company feel real good about the starters among the defensive line. They also have some experienced and quality depth inside at tackle. On the edges, the staff feels like the starters can be exceptionally good. But, there was zero depth behind the two starters at BUCK and End.
One player that was moved from linebacker before the spring had to get ready for the move by changing his body. Bryan Cox, Jr. did everything they expected and Muschamp came away satisfied where he thinks the red-shirt freshman will be when the season starts in August.
"Bryan has a high motor," he said of Cox. "In high school he was weighing 225-230 pounds. He comes to college and we're trying to find him a home whether it's linebacker, putting his hand in the dirt, BUCK, or RUSH End. We settle on defensive end and decide to bulk him up. (Now) he's up to 265 pounds.
"That's all fine and good but his body has to learn to carry that weight. That's hard for guys early. He got fatigued and tired and the typical thing I have seen a thousand times."
Cox took to the move mentally and it showed in his play on the practice field despite the extra work he had to put in hauling the extra weight around. New defensive line coach Brad Lawing has had experience with a lot of big time players in his career and Muschamp says the d-line boss is happy with Cox.
"He has a high motor and is going to help our football team next year," Muschamp said. "He can pass rush, can do it inside. Brad is really pleased with the progress Bryan made through the spring."

A Comprehensive Review Of The Global eCommerce Landscape, Finally.
Posted by Susan Wu on September 19, 2013
- 271 Recommendations
- 4 comments
eCommerce is becoming more globally pervasive. Therefore, retailers must continually adapt their expansion strategies to reflect changing retail consumption behaviors. But what makes a country ready for eCommerce? When making investment decisions, it's certainly important to get the facts about macroeconomic conditions, Internet access, and consumer market size. However, there is much more driving the eCommerce market.
In order for firms to get a full view of a country's online retail readiness, they must also consider its online activity, consumer payment behavior, and postal courier infrastructure. In a recent study conducted by Forrester's ForecastView team, we investigated 55 global economies to discern the readiness of each eCommerce market. The underlying quantitative framework captures 25 variables under four pillars: consumer behavior, merchant adoption, macroeconomic conditions, and the retail opportunity. The analysis is distilled in the Forrester Readiness Index: eCommerce (FRI).
So what did we find? While it is not really a revelation that economies like the US, China, Japan, South Korea, and the UK appear at the top of the rankings, a closer dig into developing nations revealed that Central European countries are also worthy of consideration. For example, Poland's online buyer penetration is more than double that of Brazil's. These Polish online shoppers are frequenting the same few online retailers (revealed in our online merchant clustering variable), indicating a need for more competition in the market. Poland has strong online penetration compared with the rest of Central Europe, and almost a third of mobile subscribers will access the mobile Internet by the end of 2013 -- surely a promising formula for future growth.
Enormous retail economies like China and Brazil often overshadow smaller nations looking to jump-start their online retail engines. Forrester's Readiness Index: eCommerce 360 review of the global landscape surfaces these opportunities and brings them into the light for closer examination.

Additional Message: "Sensitivity is a beautiful and powerful gift , and there is no such thing as being too sensitive. Your sensitivity helps you to know the truth about situations and people and it is important for you to trust and follow these hunches, intuitions and impressions. Spend time alone in nature to further develop your sensitivity. Avoid harsh situations and chemicals. At home or at work, ask me to help you choose life affirming foods, beverages, companions and activities. Know that it is safe for you to feel deep emotions as they are part of your sensitivity. Visualize the two of us in a beautiful bluish- white light , this light dissolves lower energies, transmuting them into love. The light also helps you distinguish between your own feelings and other people."

Man dead after car crashes into Blackfoot River
MISSOULA, Mont. - One man is dead after a car he was driving crashed through a guard rail and into the Blackfoot River Sunday morning.
Montana Highway Patrol Troopers say the crash happened around 10 a.m. on Highway 200 near the Paw Up Ranch entrance, about 35 miles from Missoula.
Troopers say a witness saw a car with Montana license plates weaving across the road before it crashed through the guard rail.
The car and driver were pulled from the river hours later, and the man was confirmed dead.
Troopers say a beagle was recovered after the crash and was uninjured. Crews are still searching for a black lab that's missing.
The man's identity has not been released.

New fight series launches in North Bergen, New Jersey
On Thursday night December 15th, longtime boxing guy Rich Komissar will be launching a brand new boxing series dubbed "Tommy Gallagher's Winners Have Scars." The first event will take place at Schuetzen Park in North Bergen, New Jersey and it will feature undefeated Cruiserweight Santander Silgado, Puerto Rican featherweight Rafael Vazquez, local hometown guy Danny MacDermott who is always in great fights and IBO Mediterranean Lightweight Champion Floriano Pagliara.
"When I came up with the concept, I had to instill the services of Tommy Gallagher, a lifelong friend and in many ways my personal mentor", said Komissar, who has trained, managed and promoted fighters and boxing shows since as far back as the early 1960's. "Tommy Gallagher may be best known as being part of the The Contender reality show but he is much more than that" say Komissar whose late father Stanley was one of the original founders of the legendary Starret City Boxing Club in Brooklyn NY.
"Tommy has relationships all over the world in boxing and entertainment and has worked with practically every major boxing promoter on the planet. I am open to working with any promoter and especially the smaller local guys right here in the area. We look forward to putting on shows that will help these youngsters reach their dreams.
"We have formed a strategic alliance with Rob Diaz and the people at Havoc Boxing. They have done four sensational shows in Brooklyn and we will look forward helping each other grow even further."
"We already have some things in the works for a great show in January in New York City and we plan to be very active throughout 2012 with this series"
1st bout is at 7:30 pm with the Doors opening at 6:30 pm
Tickets are priced at $100; $75 and $55 and can be purchased by calling 908-240-2097. Schuetzen Park is located at 3167 Kennedy Blvd. in North Bergen, NJ

Incontinence-associated dermatitis: a comprehensive review and update
Gray, Mikel, Beeckman, Dimitri, Bliss, Donna Z., Fader, Mandy, Logan, Susan, Junkin, Joan, Selekof, Joan, Doughty, Dorothy and Kurz, Peter (2012) Incontinence-associated dermatitis: a comprehensive review and update Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing, 39, (1), pp. 61-74.

In 2010, an international consensus conference was held to review current evidence regarding the pathology, prevention, and management of incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). The results of this literature review were published in a previous issue of this Journal. This article summarizes key consensus statements agreed upon by the panelists, evidence-based guidelines for prevention and management of IAD, and a discussion of the major challenges currently faced by clinicians caring for these patients. The panelists concur that IAD is clinically and pathologically distinct from pressure ulcers and intertriginous dermatitis, and that a consistently applied, structured, or defined skin care program is effective for prevention and management of IAD. They also agreed that differential assessment of IAD versus pressure ulceration versus intertriginous dermatitis remains a major challenge. Panel members also concur that evidence is lacking concerning which products and protocols provide the best outcomes for IAD prevention and treatment in individual patients. Issues related to differential assessment, product labeling and utilization, staff education, and cost of care are the primary focus of this article.

The annual Black History Month dinner at Tommy Usher Center was its usual warm and entertaining affair.
But the red, white and blue decorations, the large portrait of newly installed President Barak Obama overlooking the 60 attendees and the speech by a veteran Florida Highway Patrol officer who called for building a bridge between faith and government, carried the message that change is in the air.

I have fucked up sleeping patterns. Simply put I am more akin to a nocturnal bat, I work best at night. This is all well and good, apart from the fact that most productive things happen in the day time. My grandma once said the only things open at night are legs and minds. So read into this as you will, my lack of female anatomy would generate little response in the opening of my legs; therefore I keep an open mind. One of my guilty pleasures is I love reading Wikipedia entries and following corresponding links to new subjects. Weird, I know. It was upon one of my late night literate pursuits that I was reading an article in which the "scientist", I use the word loosely as will soon become clear, who objected to the principle of monogamy.
Ah very well, I'm not a new age hippy about to praise the ethics of free love, all I'm saying was the man offered some logic, twisted as it was. He claimed that women would rather have a tenth share in a first class man than a full stake in a third rate chump. Now here in Sweden there's a lot of women, at university perhaps the split is 60/40 if not more. This may seem like unrelated data until I harked back to a conversation with one of my friends who should remain unnamed. This salt of the earth character explained that despite his off the market status being widely renowned he was still inundated with offers. Perhaps this is a fortunate fellow; however I, without putting myself in the proverbial line of fire could appreciate his conundrum. Nothing reaffirms self worth than appreciation from other parties. The rose tinted scenario in which women in particular place value on a gentleman already pre approved is not something that started today. Polygamy worked because it meant that women knew they were getting the best man possible, even if it meant sharing him. Today that's been killed off, because it is no longer a socially excepted norm. Why? Because we can't let all the amazing fellas walk away with their top choices leaving us with bottom fodder.
Coming back to Stockholm, you may walk around the city and spot some amazing blonde creatures with less than amazing suitors and spouses. On my first week in Stockholm I was out with some friends when we bizarrely found ourselves in the VIP area of Sturecompagniet (imagine Chinawhite in London), how we got there involved a chance meeting in the restroom involving a mafia like middle aged French gent and some heavy drinking. In the VIP we awkwardly rubbed shoulders, or should I say were barged into, by some of Stockholm's rich and famous. One thing that stood out was that the calibre of gent in the VIP was playing well below that of the ladies in the looks department. Nothing new there or shocking however I recall that scene and our measly attempts to feel comfortable, and wonder if it were not for money the human gene pool would be extremely different for some.
I say well done you weedy bespeckled, balding, former Vikings, you have guaranteed the continuance of your gene against all odds. I salute you. Now shh let me get my tenth share.
Things Kings Doesn't Like this Week
Queuing- I know I'm English we deal with it, but damn these take a ticket and wait systems in Sweden, just plain annoying.
Sleep – Pointless really, just gets in the way of your day.
Sodermalm – Overrated part of Stockholm resembling Camden, screams love me because I'm socially alternative. Fuck off.
10 O'clock Lappis Scream– Okay it was funny the first couple of times, now you're just being weird people. Every Tuesday, c'mon every fucking Tuesday.
Getting barged into- Seriously are there any manners out here in Stockholm, a simple "excuse me" will suffice for me to move. However they act surprised when I barge them back. IDIOTS
Out of your leagueNovember 16th, 2010 by kings

An English Student in Stockholm/ What no Freshers?November 16th, 2010 by kings
I shall begin with by stating that this blog is actually a few months old, however as I am keen for a greater readiship as entailed by blogging on thelocal.se, I feel the need for my new readers to sample what many of my friends have already had a taste of. This blog consists of my experiences of life as an exchange student from London, England (just so were clear) and is a brash no punches pulled account (I hope, atleast) of life from the perspective of a new arrival (yes i hear you say," aren't half the blogs on the local about that anyway"…probably, but not as good as mine). Anyway here is my first blog that I wrote way back at the start of October. I will write shiny new blogs for you in future but for now here you go.
I wondered how I would cope with being away from home and the things that I have become accustomed to. I mean I'm not one of those people who get homesick but at the same time I do tend to be a creature of habit, like so many, dwelling in the comfortable bubble that is our everyday surroundings and people we know. These things keep us grounded, keep us rooted to this mundane existence, keep us trapped. I have always admired those people who leave home and spread their wings, and no I don't mean those "gap yaah" types, on some self enrichment trip that serves to only boost their narrow view of the world, to deprived and depraved ports of call, charity anecdotes and potential drug mule fodder, we don't care which African village you rescued from typhoid or how many orphans you could squeeze into your facebook profile picture. Rant Over. I admire those brave explorers who ventured to places as grim as up north, lord knows as a southerner I am suspicious of anything past Watford. I salute the adventurers.
I am in Stockholm; I have been for over a month. It's surprisingly familiar or at the very least it is not completely alien, there are places in Stockholm that would fit snugly into the West End or into the far reaches of Camden. On more than one occasion I have wandered around Stockholm's streets and observed the rich surroundings, Sweden is a beautiful place. The Swedes themselves also are pleasing to the eye (more of that another time though).
I am a University student on his exchange year, upon my arrival I was looking forward to fresher's week, (as is the custom in England).
Freshers week according to wikipedia, for thos unfamiliar with the UK definition: (I have helpfully highlighted the most relevant bits to any student)
United Kingdom and Ireland
As well as providing a chance to learn about the university, Fresher's week allows students to become familiar with the representatives of their Student Union and to get to know the city or town which is home to the university, often through some form of pub crawl.
Live music is also common, as are a number of organized social gatherings especially designed to allow freshers to make new friends and to get to know their course colleagues. Because of the intensity of activities, there are often many new friendships made, especially in group accommodation, some which do not last past Freshers Week and others that last for the whole University career and longer.
Typically a Freshers' Fair for student clubs and societies is included as part of the activities to introduce new students to facilities on offer, typically outside their course of study, such as societies, clubs, sport, etc. The various societies and clubs available within the University have stalls and aim to entice freshers to join. Most campuses take the opportunity to promote safe sex to their students and sometimes offer leaflets on the subject and free condoms, as well as promoting the Drinksafe campaign. The aim is to lower the rate of sexually transmitted disease and to reduce the level of intoxication commonly witnessed in Freshers' Week.
Larger cities like Manchester, Bristol, Newcastle, Leeds etc tend to be the best places for nightlife in freshers' week. Often in these cities companies will go to great lengths to win over students in order to get them to attend their nights, often leading to fierce competition between the promotions companies. This is because most freshers' week attendees tend to associate the nightlife as what freshers' week really is, all other university related business is either not attended or met with great annoyance.
Cue disappointment, for while the Swedes are gracious hosts, and were most accommodating in many of the ways I thought they would fall short, they fail miserably at anything that includes alcohol thus prepare for shock horror students…there was no pub on campus, no bar, no club, just cafes lots and lots of bleeding cafes. I mean they have no dedicated boozer anywhere near campus, I am refusing to include proffesorn a small restaurant in the student square that serves alcohol but its layout clearly indicates that it is more of an eatery than a dedicated watering hole. The lack of an SU bar was a blow but I dealt with it, however upon a trip to the supermarket to stock up on the good stuff in preparation for an almighty week long piss up, cue even more disappointment, as I found out that 3.5% ABV actually passed for alcohol. Seriously. A more travelled lad would have known about the systembolaget monopoly; however I had assumed it was some cruel wind up to newbies, perhaps that famous Scandinavian humour. I was wrong.
Thus no fresher's week to speak of officially, no pub crawls, no foam raves, no UV parties, no wet t-shirt contests, no Silent Discos or C-list pop act or Z-list celeb dj set. The Swedes were puzzled by the hedonistic fiesta that I described as an average fresher's week. They found it hard to believe that a Student Union was responsible for getting people pissed for an entire week. Ah the differences. You may now assume that I haven't enjoyed the university nightlife. Wrong. I am a raver, and they have been numerous nights out which will form subjects of later blogs. In the meantime, it's nice to have words on the page.
Things Kings Has enjoyed this week:
Östermalmstorg – Expensive shops, Girls with dogs in their bags, more Porsches than makes sense, a slice of Mayfair in Stockholm.
Asking Swedish woman for directions to the parliament building, her response "hmm it's quite close I think, you may have to take a bus though." Later discover we were actually standing outside its main doors. FAIL.
Frozen Kebabs- Yes you can buy them here at supermarkets.
Hipflasks- Fill it with cheap whisky, get to the club buy some coke, drunk as a skunk. WIN.
Filthy Dubstep-Introducing the uninitiated to various forms of UK music genres. Their expressions when hearing grime, dubstep, funky house, bassline for the first time. PRICELESS
Systembolaget on Friday- Swedes stocking up on alcohol for the weekend, ha-ha.

Chocolaty stout beers, such as Guinness, can be great additions to baked goods – particularly if those baked goods are chocolate. While beer might not sound like the first thing you want to reach for when baking, beers container a lot of complex flavors and can add a lot of depth to baked goods if you use them properly.

Chocolate Guinness Frozen Yogurt
The release of my new cookbook, How To Make Frozen Yogurt, is just a few days after St Patrick's Day this year, so I decided to celebrate the holiday by doing something a little different than making a batch of corned beef and cabbage. I made frozen yogurt instead, and with an Irish twist. I've had Guinness ice creams before, but I've never had anything quite ... Read More »

Pigeon coop becomes a playhouse
Once this small building was literally for the birds. It was a pigeon coop, abandoned long ago, and it was falling to the ground.
But it had some good points. It sat at the end of the lawn and screened a view of the neighbors' yards. The family wanted a play area for the kids, so it made sense to save it.
Now there's room to relax on a daybed with a book, draw on a chalkboard, or play at a kidsize table. Later the family may turn it into a studio, office, or guest house.

I am looking to purchasing one of these cars. Both at the same price. I looked around for another thread but i could not find one of 08 vs 13. But what are your thoughts on these vehicles as daily drivers, why or why wouldn't you buy one. If you had the choice, both at same price. 78k miles on wrx ,31 on ms3.
Edit: thanks everyone. The ms3 is at a small lot and the wrx is at a toyota dealership. I will go look at the 2008 wrx today. If i can get a good deal (walk out price of 15,000-17,000) i will consider it. How is the after market kn these two? Is a mazda or a subaru more expensive to maintain and buy parts for?


text: Well I have been doing research and I know the M&P 9c accepts the full-size M&P mags. They also offer the small grip adapter. It doesn't look quite as smooth as the full sized M&P with the extension but you would have the option between as many rounds as a full-sized or put in the standard 9c mag to conceal it easier. Just an idea, I was also considering that if I go forth and get the M&P 9c (looking like the top option for me right now!) Good luck and thanks for your post on mine!

If your tracking your car on oe brakes (or oe size brakes) then IMO it's a must do. There is just too much heat in the front rotors (understandable w/ a 3000 lb car). Even w/ a BBK it's probably worthwhile, w/o one I definitely think you want some additional air in there.
I put my car through a pretty demanding two day track event in September and think the ducts made a significant contribution to my good braking
